LESSEE IMPROVEMENTS AND IMPROVEMENT RENT

 

9.1.

9.2.

Calculation of Improvement Rent

For example: Rs 1,000 * 15%/12 = Improvement Rent per month of Rs 12.50 (Rupees Twelve Paise Fifty) per square feet with an escalation of 4.5% (four point five percent) at the end of every year).

 

9.3.

The Parties have agreed to follow an open book system for the determination of the Improvement Rent. The Parties agree that on the Substantial Completion of the Lessor’s Work, the Lessor will provide the Lessee with an investment estimate for the Improvement Rent for the Lessee Improvements and any Improvement Change (“Investment Estimate”). The Investment Estimate will be accompanied with supporting documentation. The Improvement Rent for the 6 (six) months of the Initial Term commencing from the Rent Commencement Date will be based on the Investment Estimate. Within 6 (six) months from the Rent Commencement Date, the Lessor will provide the Lessee an audited statement issued by a reputed chartered accountant of the actual amounts incurred and paid for the completion of the Lessee Improvements and any Improvement Change along with supporting documentation. Based on the audited statement along with the supporting documents for verification and on a mutual reconciliation process to be completed within 30 (thirty) Business Days of receipt of the audited statement along with supporting documents, the final Improvement Rent will be recorded in writing by the Parties. Where the Improvement Rent paid by the Lessee to the Lessor during the aforesaid 6 (six) months period is less than the final Improvement agreed between the Parties, the deficient portion of the Improvement due to the Lessor will be paid in arrears within 30 (thirty) Business Days from finalization of the final Improvement Rent.

will be entitled to terminate the lease with immediate effect. However, if the Lessee disputes the Lessor’s claim that the Lessee is in default, the parties shall amicably settle the dispute in terms of Clause 23.2 of this Lease Deed failing which the matter shall be submitted to Arbitration in terms of Clause 23.3 of this Lease Deed and the Lessor may only terminate the Lease Deed if the arbitrator rules in favour of the Lessor. The Parties shall continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Lease Deed until the final outcome of the arbitration proceedings. Upon such termination, the Lessor will be entitled to collect the Rent for the remaining portion of the Lock-in Period and also be entitled to all direct damages incurred thereon, including the cost of recovering the vacant and peaceful possession of the Demised Premises. For avoidance of doubt, this will include the arrears of Rent, if any, payable at the time of termination of the Lease Deed. This right is apart from the Lessor’s right to specifically enforce the Lessee’s obligations under this Lease Deed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any breach or other failure by the Lessee to perform any of its obligations under this Lease Deed, results in an emergency situation or adversely impacts any building systems including, without limitation, any serving areas outside of the Demised Premises, any other lessees at the Project, the Project structure or the Common Areas, the Lessor may, without waiting for the Lessee’s 30 (thirty) day cure period to expire and without limiting any of the Lessor’s other remedies, attempt to cure all or any part of the applicable breach or other failure, in which case the Lessee shall be required to reimburse the Lessor for all of its costs in connection therewith.

 

 

19.3.2.

In addition to the Lessee’s rights to self-perform pursuant to Clause 10.2, in the event of a breach by the Lessor of the terms of this Lease Deed, the Lessee will give notice to the Lessor to begin to remedying the breach within 30 (thirty) days and in the event of the Lessor not remedying the breach within a commercially reasonable period, this lease shall stand terminated, even if it is during the Lock-in Period and the Lessee shall not be liable to pay Rent for the unexpired portion of the Lock-in Period. If the Lessor disputes the Lessee’s claim that the Lessor is in default, the parties shall amicably settle the dispute in terms of Clause 23.2 of this Lease Deed failing which the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in terms of Clause 23.3 of this Lease Deed and the Lessee may only terminate this Lease Deed if the arbitrator rules in favour of the Lessee.

 

 

19.3.3.

It is clarified that a receipt by the Lessor of the Rent, the Maintenance Charges, Utility Charges or other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by the Lessor of any provision of this Lease Deed shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by the Lessor. To the greatest extent permitted by law, the Lessee waives the service of notice of the Lessor's intention to re-enter or re-take the Demised Premises, or to institute legal proceedings to that end.
