Measurement

 

10.1

The Landlord shall procure that as soon as the Landlord’s Works are sufficiently advanced to permit measurement before the anticipated Practical Completion Date (and in any event at least two (2) weeks prior to the Practical Completion Date), the Net Internal Area of each of the Premises is measured by the Measurement Surveyor by reference to the areas shown edged red on the applicable Measurement Plans relevant to each Premises (and dependent on whether the Tenant has exercised its Option to Decrease).

 

10.2

The Measurement Surveyor shall be appointed by the Landlord on terms approved by the Tenant to the extent that such terms affect the Measurement Surveyor Reliance Letter (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and approval shall be deemed if the Tenant has not responded within five (5) Working Days of any such terms being provided to the Tenant). The Landlord shall provide the Tenant with a copy of the Measurement Surveyors’ appointment promptly after it is entered into.

  (b)

Second Floor Lease—eighty six pounds (£86) per square foot of Net Internal Area;

 

  (c)

Third Floor Lease—eighty seven pounds and fifty pence (£87.50) per square foot of Net Internal Area provided that if the Option to Decrease is exercised this shall be ninety two pounds and fifty pence (£92.50) per square foot of Net Internal Area;

B = the Net Internal Area of the Relevant Premises measured in accordance with clause 10.1.

 

10.7

If the Net Internal Area of the whole Premises is more than one hundred and three per cent (103%) of the aggregate Target Area of the whole Premises (the Target Area Cap) the yearly rents payable pursuant to each of the Leases as calculated pursuant to clause 10.6 shall be capped at one hundred and three per cent (103%) of the Target Area for the relevant Premises as follows:

 

  (a)

First Floor Lease—one million six hundred and thirty-nine thousand one hundred pounds and eighty pence (£1,639,100.80) per annum;

10.8

If the Net Internal Area of a Relevant Premises is less than the Minimum Area, the Landlord may (at the Landlord’s option) offer additional office space within the Building to the Tenant which shall be offered at the same level of rent as the area which has fallen below the Target Area.

 

10.9

Storage Area

 

  10.9.1

The Landlord shall use all reasonable but commercially prudent endeavours to ensure that the Storage Area is as close to two hundred and fifty (250) square feet as practicable.

As soon as reasonably practicable following completion of the Storage Area but prior to the Target Completion Date the Landlord shall measure the Net Internal Area of the Storage Area in square feet.

 

  10.9.3

The Licence Fee payable pursuant to the Storage Licence shall be calculated by multiplying twenty pounds (£20) by the Net Internal Area of the Storage Area in square feet and the parties agree to insert the resulting figure into the Storage Licence as the definition of Licence Fee.

 

10.10

Lockers

The total number of lockers available for the Premises shall be:

The Landlord will cause all Base Build Works that are damaged or destroyed to be reinstated with due diligence and will apply the proceeds of the policy of insurance towards the reinstatement.

keep the Tenant fully and regularly informed as to its progress in procuring the Latent Defects Insurance Policy;

The Landlord and the Tenant shall not, whether by act, default or omission do anything that would render the Latent Defects Insurance Policy void or voidable or reduce the amount of money that would but for that have been recoverable under it.

 

11.8

In the event that an Inherent Defect in the Premises and/or Building arises after the Claim Date, the Tenant agrees that it shall only make a claim under the Latent Defects Insurance Policy in respect of such defect where covered by the terms of such policy if and to the extent that:

19.2

In respect of the CAT A Works, the parties:

 

  19.2.1

acknowledge that until details of the CAT A Works specification are known and agreed by both parties, it is not possible to determine the CIS position in respect of the CAT A Contribution;

19.3

The parties acknowledge that if the Landlord must operate the CIS in respect of payments made under this Agreement, then save to the extent that the payment in question is exempt from the CIS, the Landlord shall, subject to receiving the information referred to in clause 19.5.1 and prior to making the relevant payment, verify, in accordance with section 69 of the Finance Act 2004 and regulation 6 of the CIS Regulations, whether the Tenant is registered for gross payment under section 63(2) of the Finance Act 2004 or for payment under deduction under section 63(3) of the Finance Act 2004, and shall, once it has so verified, make any relevant payment to the Tenant subject to the following:

 

  19.3.1

if the Tenant is registered for gross payment under section 63(2) of the Finance Act 2004 and the relevant payment is not a “contract payment” within the meaning of section 60 of the Finance Act 2004, the Landlord shall make the payment to the Tenant without any deduction; or

 

  19.3.2

if the Tenant is not registered for gross payment under section 63(2) of the Finance Act 2004 such that the relevant payment is a “contract payment” within the meaning of section 60 of the Finance Act 2004, the Landlord shall make the relevant payment to the Tenant subject to the deduction of the relevant percentage in accordance with section 61 of the Finance Act 2004 and CIS Regulations and any notification from HM Revenue & Customs pursuant to section 69 of the Finance Act 2004 and the CIS Regulations.

 

19.4

If the Landlord makes a payment to the Tenant subject to deduction at the rate directed by HM Revenue & Customs, the Landlord shall, not later than 14 days after the end of the relevant tax month, provide a written statement to the Tenant containing the information prescribed in, and in accordance with, regulation 4(8) of CIS Regulations.

 

19.5

The Tenant shall:

inform the Landlord in writing of any change in the Tenant’s CIS sub-contractor status;

Underlease      


  19.5.3

provide to the Landlord any information (within its control or in its possession) reasonably requested by the Landlord to enable the Landlord to comply with its obligations under the CIS including (without limitation) information to show how much of any payment represents the direct cost to the Tenant of materials used or to be used in carrying out construction operations (as defined in section 74 of the Finance Act 2004)(construction operations) which the Landlord is paying the Tenant for under this Agreement and to which the CIS applies.

 

19.6

Where any error has occurred in calculating or making any deduction from a payment by the Landlord under this clause 19 such that an over-deduction is made, the Landlord shall upon request in writing by the Tenant make a claim to HM Revenue & Customs to recover the amount of the over-deduction (the Over-Deduction). Promptly, on receipt by the Landlord of the Over-Deduction from HM Revenue & Customs, the Landlord will pay to the Tenant the Over-Deduction (less, in any case where the error occurred due to a failure by the Tenant to comply with clauses 19.5.1 and/or 19.5.3, any costs and expenses reasonably and properly incurred by the Landlord in obtaining the Over-Deduction).

 

19.7

If HM Revenue & Customs notifies the Landlord (including by way of determination) that the Landlord should have deducted a sum under the CIS from the CAT A Contribution (if no such deduction is made) or the Landlord has made an under-deduction from the CAT A Contribution, then the Tenant shall, within ten Working Days pay to the Landlord an amount equal to the sum that the Landlord should have withheld from the CAT Contribution pursuant to the CIS.

 

19.8

The Tenant shall as soon as reasonably practicable inform the Landlord in writing if it is or becomes a contractor under the CIS for the purposes of section 59 of the Finance Act 2004 and if the Tenant is such a contractor, then, subject to clause 19.9 below, the provisions of clauses 19.3 to 19.7 shall apply mutatis mutandis to any TRM Costs paid by the Tenant to the Landlord in respect of which the CIS applies.

 

19.9

The parties agree that if, at the time for payment of the TRM Costs, the Tenant is a contractor under the CIS by reason of section 59(1)(l) of the Finance Act 2004, the relevant payment of the TRM Costs will not be a “contract payment” within the meaning of section 60 of the Finance Act 2004, as Regulation 22 of the CIS Regulations will apply to such payment. In these circumstances, the Tenant shall not make a deduction under the CIS from the payment of the TRM Costs. 19.9

If within five (5) Working Days after a dispute has arisen the Landlord and the Tenant have been unable to agree which of the persons referred to in clause 21.2 is appropriate to appoint the expert, then the expert shall be appointed on the application of either party to the President for the time being of the Law Society or his duly appointed deputy or other person authorised by him to make appointments.

21.5

The expert so appointed must afford the parties the opportunity within such a reasonable and proper time limit as it may stipulate to make representations to him (accompanied by professional rental valuations, reports or other appropriate evidence in the relevant circumstances) and permit each party to make submissions on the representations of the other.

 

21.6

The fees and expenses of the expert, including the cost of his nomination, are to be borne as the expert may direct (but in the absence of such a direction, by the parties in equal shares), but (unless they otherwise agree) the parties will bear their own costs with respect to the determination of the issue by the expert.

 

21.7

One party may pay the costs required to be borne by another party if they remain unpaid for more than fifteen (15) Working Days after they become due and then recover these and any incidental expenses incurred from the other party on demand.

22.2

Before the date of this Agreement, the Landlord gave the Tenant permission and the opportunity, which the Tenant agrees were sufficient for its purposes, to inspect, survey and investigate the condition of the Premises. Subject only to the issue of the Certificate of Practical Completion, the Tenant is treated as having formed its own view of the condition of the Premises and its suitability for the Tenant’s purposes.

 

22.3

This Agreement constitutes the entire contract between the parties.
