III.

Articles

 

1.

Subject of Agreement

By this Agreement, the Lessor leases to the Lessee, who in turn accepts the lease, the Property and the Parking Spaces described in the First Recital hereinabove.

 

2.

Intended Use

The Property subject to this Agreement is intended to be used only and exclusively as an office, and the parking spaces shall be used for the parking of vehicles.

 

3.

Term of Lease and Return of the Property and the Parking Spaces

3.1     Term. Without prejudice to that which is set out in Article 3.4 below, the term of the Agreement is agreed till 31 December 2017.

3.2     Extension. The Lease Agreement shall be extended automatically for an additional three-year period, i.e. from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020, unless the Lessee informs the Lessor in good faith of the waiver of said extension before 14:00 hours on 30 June 2017.

3.3     Automatic Termination. Once the period set out in paragraph 3.1 above or, as the case may be, the extension provided for in paragraph 3.2 above has passed, the Lease Agreement shall be terminated automatically without the Parties having to make any prior notice whatsoever.

3.4     Compulsory Compliance. It is established as a condition precedent that the Lease Agreement shall be binding on the Lessee during its whole term set out in paragraph 3.1 above (i.e. till 31 December 2017) and equally, should the extension provided for in paragraph 3.1 above occur, during the whole duration thereof. As a result, if the Agreement is withdrawn from before the end of said initial term or extension, or if it is terminated due to a cause attributable to the Lessee, the latter shall pay the Lessor as damages and as a Penalty Clause a lump sum determined by mutual agreement without the need to certify the actual damages and without possible moderation by courts and tribunals the amount equivalent to the rent, costs and fees corresponding to the period remaining till such termination.

 

4


3.5     If the Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Lessee shall return the Property and the Parking Spaces to the Lessor in the same condition in which they are handed over, except normal wear and tear, which shall be accepted. The Lessor may authorise the performance of all the upgrades and improvements made by the Lessee and may in any case request that the latter remove all those elements and installations of their property that may have been added and/or modified by the Lessee.

3.6     The Lessee may carry out refurbishment works in the Property without modifying the structure or the stability of the building. For this purpose they may submit to the Lessor the approved design, understood to have been approved within 10 business days (with the exclusion of Saturdays and holidays). The Lessor may only object for a justified cause, which they shall explain. After 10 working days (with the exception of Saturdays and holidays) have passed without response from the Lessor, it shall be understood that they give their consent to the works. The works shall be done under appropriate optional supervision pursuant to the applicable regulations and with the relevant licence having been obtained previously.

At the time of the termination of the Lease Agreement, the Lessee shall restore the Property to its current condition. Nevertheless, the Lessor may exempt the Lessee from said obligation of restoration, in which case the performed work shall be to the exclusive benefit of the Lessor, while the Lessee may not claim any indemnification or compensation whatsoever for it.

 

4.

Handover

4.1     The Parking Spaces shall be made available to the Lessee on the signing date of this Agreement.

4.2     The Property shall be made available to the Lessee on 1 March 2015 upon having been vacated by the Lessor.

4.3     Equally, if the handover of the Property is delayed, the term of the Agreement shall be extended by the same period.

 

5.

Rent and Revision

5.1     The rent payable by the Lessee for the lease shall be fixed at (i) NINE THOUSAND AND TWENTY-FOUR EUROS (9,024.00) per month for the Property; and THREE HUNDRED EUROS (300.00) per month for the Parking Spaces, at the rate of 150 Euros per parking space. The total Rent shall comprise NINE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR EUROS (9,324.00) (the “Rent”). The Rent shall be increased by the relevant Value Added Tax (hereinafter referred to as “VAT”), a tax that shall apply as set out in paragraph 11.1 of this Agreement.

5.2     The Lessee shall not be obliged to pay the rent as well as the costs and taxes on the Property to the Lessor until it is handed over by the Lessor.

5.3     The agreed rent shall be revised annually as of 1 January 2016 based on the increase of the Consumer Price Index. Further

 

5


revisions shall be made every 1 January counted from said date according to the increases to the Consumer Price Index (referring to the national inflation average), whether an increase or a decrease, published by the National Institute for Statistics or by the organisation that may replace it, applying to the rent corresponding to the previous annual payment the percentage change experienced by said Index in the period of twelve months immediately prior to the date of each adjustment. Should the above particular index no longer be published, the relevant index replacing it of the indices published by the National Institute for Statistics or the organisation that may replace it shall apply.

5.4     Taking into account the fact that the data of the National Institute for Statistics or the organisation that may replace it are published with a delay and as a result, if the month in which the already revised rent would have to be charged has started and the basis or coefficient corresponding to such date are not yet known, the Parties expressly agree that the corresponding increases according to the revision system agreed in this Agreement shall apply retroactively to the date on which the already revised rate must start to be charged, while the relevant additional receipts shall be issued once the necessary data of the above National Institute for Statistics or the organisation that may replace it are known, while it may not be assumed in any case that the Lessor waive their collection.

5.5     The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor’s account, based on the Consumer Price Index of the latest published monthly payment, the amounts corresponding to the increases following from this Article on revision, which shall not be final, while the settlement corresponding to the retroactive effects provided for shall be carried out, when the final indices are known.

5.6     Should the Lessee fail to pay the rent within the set period they shall pay interest for the delay at the EURIBOR one year rate plus four point five (4.5) percentage points. Said interest shall accrue daily and shall be charged in the rent receipt corresponding to the month immediately prior to the one in which the delay occurred. The payment of said penalty shall not grant the right to delay the rent payments, while the Lessor may initiate relevant actions as the case may be.

5.7     If the coming into effect of this Agreement does not coincide with the start of the calendar month, the receipt for the rent corresponding to the Parking Spaces shall be issued pro rata to the days of validity of the lease in said month.

5.8     The total amount of the fees of the property owners’ association to which the leased Property and Parking Spaces belong, as well as the Real Estate Tax corresponding to them shall be to the account of the Lessee. For the purposes of that which is set out in article 20 of the LAU, the Lessor hereby declares that said costs currently comprise SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT EUROS FIFTY-TWO CENTS (17,578.52) per annum, comprised of 8,697.48 in property owners’ association fees on the Property, 8,189.04 in Real Estate Tax on the Property, and 692 Euros in property owners’ association fees on the Parking Spaces (which comprises the Real Estate tax on same). For these purposes, given that the receipts for property owners’ association fees and Real Estate Tax are issued together for the entirety of the second floor of the building, it is confirmed that only 32% of same correspond to the Property.

6.

Rent Payment

The payment of the rent and the other expenses which pursuant to the Law and the Articles of this Agreement may be passed on or charged to the Lessee shall be made in advance, within the first five (5) business days of each month, and the relevant receipts shall be debited directly to the bank current account of the Lessee No. ES78 0065 0145 3800 0152 0694 for this purpose.

 

7.

Utilities and Accounting

7.1     The Property is leased in the current condition of the existing general and branch line connections or lines corresponding to same for the utilities that the building is provided with.

7.2     The amount corresponding to the consumption of all said utilities that they may have made since the effective date of the Agreement till its termination for any reason shall be to the account of the Lessee. The utilities for consumption prior to the effective date shall be to the account of the Lessor.

7.3     The Lessee is free to agree with the relevant suppliers any or all of the utilities that the Property may or might be provided with, exempting the Lessor of any responsibility whatsoever.

 

8.

Maintenance and Works

8.1     The Lessee declares that they are aware of the characteristics and maintenance condition of the Property and that they expressly accept them. In case of pre-existing failures or defects, the Lessee shall have a period of 15 days to inform the Lessor thereof, while the latter shall rectify them promptly and diligently. After such period has passed, the Property shall be understood to have been received satisfactorily and in good condition. As for the installation of air conditioning, the Parties agree that during the term of the Agreement, the Lessee shall become responsible for the condition and correct functioning of said climatisation equipment, for which purpose they shall bear the costs of maintenance, repair and upkeep of said equipment.

8.2     The Lessor shall only carry out the repairs that may be necessary to maintain the Property in the conditions necessary for the agreed use, except where the wear that is being repaired may be deemed to be attributable to the Lessee pursuant to that which is set out in article 30 of the LAU. The maintenance and repair works that wear and tear by normal use of the Property and its installations may require shall be to the account of the Lessee.

8.3     The Lessor shall authorise any upgrade, refurbishment and work that the Lessee may wish to perform, including installations and utilities, and shall not authorise said works if they mean a danger or damage to the structure of the building or of the Property, may weaken the materials used in the construction or may affect common elements of the building (which for this purpose shall be confirmed by the Lessee through presentation to the Lessor,

 

7


before the start of the works, of the relevant plan, design and work memorandum, qualities and finishes).

8.4.    The Lessor shall hand over to the Lessee before handing over the possession of the Property a copy of the energy efficiency certificate corresponding to same.

8.5.    Emergency Staircase

8.5.1.   The Lessee hereby states that they know and accept that the Property Owners’ Association of the building in which the Property is situated has agreed to the possibility of an emergency staircase being built, which would pass through all the floors of the building and which would occupy, in purely tentative terms, approximately 6 square metres of the surface of the Property. Enclosed as Annex 2 is a copy of the plan that shows the surface that, as the case may be, will be taken up by said emergency staircase.

8.5.2.   In case construction of said staircase is carried out, the Lessee, while expressly waiving that which is set out in article 30 in conjunction with articles 22 and 26 of the LAU, agree to facilitate technicians and workers access insofar as it may be necessary and to tolerate said works, which shall be performed such that inconvenience to the Lessee is minimised as much as possible. Without prejudice to the obligations of the Property Owners’ Association, the Lessor assumes before the Lessee the cost of the works, including the finishes of the affected zone of the Property, such that they remain in conditions similar to those existing before the start of the works. The Lessor shall indemnify and hold the Lessee harmless for any claims that may result from the construction of said staircase.

8.5.3.   If said construction is carried out, the monthly rent for the Property and the costs (including the property owners’ association fees and Real Estate Tax) shall be reduced as of the starting date of the works pro rata to the surface of the Property that may be occupied by said emergency staircase. During the works, the rent shall be reduced taking into account the harm that the Lessee may suffer as a consequence thereof.

9. Permits and Licences

9.1 The Lessor is exempt of any responsibility in case the existing opening Licences or permits are revoked or become invalid and the Property is ordered to close, except where it is caused by serious negligence or bad faith attributable to the Lessor.

10. Signs

10.1 The Lessee may install certain advertising signs and/or notices that they may deem convenient with prior consent of the Lessor, provided that said installation complies with the applicable regulation and has obtained the permits and licences necessary for their correct installation, adapting them to the applicable general rules of the property owners’ association of the building to which the leased Property belongs, and, as the case may be, upon consent of said association.

 

8


The taxes, fees and permits required for said installations shall be to the Lessee’s account.

10.2 If the installation of signs involves works, that which is set out in Article 8.3 above shall apply. In any case, should the Agreement be terminated for any reason, the Lessee shall remove, at their expense and with full indemnification for the Lessor, any notices they may have installed whatsoever, leaving the place where they may have been installed in the current condition.

11. Taxes and Tax Withholding

11.1 The Agreement is subject to Value Added Tax (VAT), which shall apply to the Lessee in each one of the monthly rent receipts, pursuant to that which is set out in the Law and the Regulation of said tax, i.e. for the amount that may result from the application of the rate applicable to the rent at any time and other amounts that may constitute the tax base on the date of accrual.

11.2 The Lessee shall also pay the taxes, charges, fees and generally all the contributions or levies of any type that may be charged or withheld from the Property and the Parking Spaces for the reason of their activity.

11.3 Lacking confirmation of the cases in which the withholding provided for in Royal Decree 113/1998 of 30 January should not apply, the Lessee shall proceed with withholding an appropriate amount for its depositing in the Tax Office.

III. Articles

 

1.

Subject of Agreement

By this Agreement, the Lessor leases to the Lessee, who in turn accepts the lease, the Property and the Parking Spaces described in the First Recital hereinabove.

 

2.

Intended Use

The Property subject to this Agreement shall be used only and exclusively as an office, and the parking spaces shall be used for the parking of vehicles.

 

3.

Term of Lease and Return of the Property and the Parking Spaces

3.1  Term. Without prejudice to that which is set out in Article 3.4 below, the term of the Agreement is agreed till 31 December 2017.

3.2  Extension. The Lease Agreement shall be extended automatically for an additional three-year period, i.e. from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020, unless the Lessee informs the Lessor in good faith of the waiver of said extension before 14:00 hours on 30 June 2017.

3.3  Automatic Termination. Once the period set out in paragraph 3.1 above or, as the case may be, the extension provided for in paragraph 3.2 above has passed, the Lease Agreement shall be terminated automatically without the Parties having to make any prior notice whatsoever.

3.4  Compulsory Compliance. It is established as a condition precedent that the Lease Agreement shall be binding on the Lessee during its whole term set out in paragraph 3.1 above (i.e. till 31 December 2017) and equally, should the extension provided for in paragraph 3.2 above occur, during the whole duration thereof. Consequently, if the

 

4


Agreement is withdrawn from before the end of said initial term or extension, or if it is terminated due to a cause attributable to the Lessee, the latter shall pay the Lessor as damages and as a penalty clause a lump sum determined by mutual agreement without the need to certify the actual damages and without possible moderation by courts and tribunals in the amount equivalent to the rent, costs and fees corresponding to the period remaining in such term.

3.5 If the Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Lessee shall return the Property and the Parking Spaces to the Lessor in the same condition in which they are handed over, except normal wear and tear, which shall be accepted. The Lessor may authorise the maintenance of all the upgrades and improvements made by the Lessee but may in any case request that the latter remove all those elements and installations of their property that may have been added and/or modified by the Lessee.

3.6 The Lessee may carry out refurbishment works in the Property without modifying the structure or the stability of the building. For this purpose they may submit to the Lessor the approved design, understood to have been approved within 10 business days (with the exclusion of Saturdays and holidays). The Lessor may only object for a justified cause, which they shall explain. After 10 working days (with the exception of Saturdays and holidays) have passed without response from the Lessor, it shall be understood that they give their consent to the works. The works shall be done under appropriate optional supervision pursuant to the applicable regulations and with the relevant licence having been obtained previously.

At the time of the termination of the Lease Agreement or of the lease agreement for the eighth floor, the Lessee shall restore the Property to its current condition. Nevertheless, the Lessor may exempt the Lessee from said obligation of restoration, in which case the performed works shall be to the exclusive benefit of the Lessor, while the Lessee may not claim any indemnification or compensation whatsoever for it.

 

4.

Handover

4.1  The Parking Spaces shall be made available to the Lessee on the signing date of this Agreement.

4.2  Property A shall be made available to the Lessee herewith.

4.3  Equally, Property B shall be made available to the Lessee on 5 December 2014 having previously been vacated by the Lessor.

4.4  If on 5 December 2014 the entire Property has not been handed over to the Lessee, the latter may demand that the Lessor hand it over.

4.5  If by 6 February 2015 the Property (i.e. Property B) has not been handed over to the Lessee, the latter may withdraw from the Agreement insofar as said Property B, while it shall survive in respect of Property A.

 

5


4.6  The Lessee shall not be obliged to pay rent to the Lessor until 5 December 2014, provided the Property has been handed over by that date.

4.7  Equally, if the handover of Property B is delayed, the term of the Agreement shall be extended for the entire Property by the same period.

 

5.

Rent and Revision

5.1  The rent payable by the Lessee for the lease shall be fixed at (i) SEVENTEEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND NINETY-TWO EUROS (17,892.00) per month for the Property; and FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY EUROS (550.00) per month for the Parking Spaces, at the rate of 250 Euros for space No. 56 and 150 Euros for spaces Nos. 57 and 58. The total Rent shall comprise EIGHTEEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO EUROS (18,442.00) (the “Rent”). The Rent shall be increased by the relevant Value Added Tax (hereinafter referred to as “VAT”), a tax that shall apply as set out in paragraph 11.1 of this Agreement.

5.2  Subject to the Lessee receiving the Property in the current condition and subject to the actual refurbishment works to be performed by the Lessee in the Property, the Parties agree, provided Property B is handed over by the Lessor on 5 December 2014, a grace period for the payment of the relevant rent for the Property till the Property is handed over, such that the first rent is accrued on 5 December 2014, always provided the Property has been made available to the Lessee.

The receipt for the first rent shall be issued, as the case may be, for the amount pro rata to the days passed since the end of the grace period and the start of the next following month.

As of the start of the month following the end of the grace period, the rent shall accrue for its total amount set out in paragraph 5.1 above (not including VAT).

5.3  The agreed rent shall be revised annually as of 1 January 2016 based on the increase of the Consumer Price Index. Further revisions shall be made every 1 January counted from said date according to the changes to the Consumer Price Index (referring to the national inflation average), whether an increase or a decrease, published by the National Institute for Statistics or by the organisation that may replace it, applying to the rent corresponding to the previous annual payment the percentage change experienced by said Index in the period of twelve months immediately prior to the date of each adjustment. Should the above particular index no longer be published, the relevant index replacing it of the indices published by the National Institute for Statistics or the organisation that may replace it shall apply.

5.4  Taking into account the fact that the data of the National Institute for Statistics or the organisation that may replace it are published with a delay and as a result, if the month in which the already revised rent would have to be charged has started and the basis or coefficient corresponding to such date are not yet known, the Parties expressly agree that the corresponding increases according to the revision system agreed in this Agreement

 

6


shall apply retroactively to the date on which the already revised rate must start to be charged, while the relevant additional receipts shall be issued once the necessary data of the above National Institute for Statistics or the organisation that may replace it are known, while it may not be assumed in any case that the Lessor shall waive their collection.

5.5  The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor’s account, based on the Consumer Price Index of the latest published monthly payment, the amounts corresponding to the increases following from this Article on revision, which shall not be final, while the settlement corresponding to the retroactive effects provided for shall be carried out, when the final indices are known.

5.6  Should the Lessee fail to pay the rent within the set period, they shall pay interest for the delay at the EURIBOR one year rate plus four point five (4.5) percentage points. Said interest shall accrue daily and shall be charged in the receipt for the rent corresponding to the month immediately prior to the one in which the delay occurred. The payment of said penalty shall not grant the right to delay the rent payments, while the Lessor may initiate relevant actions as the case may be.

5.7  If the coming into effect of this Agreement does not coincide with the start of the calendar month, a receipt for the rent corresponding to the Parking Spaces shall be issued pro rata to the days of validity of the lease in said month.

5.8  The total amount of fees for the property owners’ association to which the leased Property and Parking Spaces belong, as well as the Real Estate Tax corresponding to them shall be to the account of the Lessee. For the purposes of that which is set out in article 20 of the LAU, the Lessor hereby declares that said costs currently comprise THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINE EUROS FOUR CENTS (31,379.04) per annum, comprised of 13,740 in property owners’ association fees on the Property, 16,479.04 in Real Estate Tax on the Property, and 1,160.00 Euros in property owners’ association fees on the Parking Spaces (which comprises the Real Estate tax on same).

 

6.

  Rent Payment

The payment of the rent and the other expenses which pursuant to the Law and the Articles of this Agreement may be passed on or charged to the Lessee shall be made in advance, within the first five (5) business days of each month, and the relevant receipts shall be debited directly to the bank current account of the Lessee No. ES78 0065 0145 3800 0152 0694 for this purpose.

 

7.

  Utilities and Accounting

7.1  The Property is leased in the current condition of the existing general and branch line connections or lines corresponding to same for the utilities that the real estate is provided with.

7.2  The amount corresponding to the consumption of all said utilities that they may have made since the effective date of the

 

7


Agreement till its termination for any reason shall be to the Lessee’s account. The utilities for consumption prior to the effective date shall be to the account of the Lessor.

7.3  The Lessee is free to agree with the relevant suppliers any or all of the utilities that the Property may or might be provided with, exempting the Lessor of any responsibility whatsoever.

 

8.

  Maintenance and Works

8.1  The Lessee declares that they are aware of the characteristics and maintenance condition of the Property and that they expressly accept them. In case of pre-existing failures or defects, the Lessee shall have a period of 15 days to inform the Lessor thereof, while the latter shall rectify them promptly and diligently. After such period has passed, the Property shall be understood to have been received satisfactorily and in good condition. As for the installation of air conditioning, the Parties agree that during the term of the Agreement the Lessee shall become responsible for the condition and correct functioning of said climatisation equipment, for which purpose they shall bear the costs of maintenance, repair and upkeep of said equipment.

8.2  The Lessor shall only carry out the repairs that may be necessary to maintain the Property in the conditions necessary for the agreed use, except where the repair concerns wear that may be deemed to be attributable to the Lessee pursuant to that which is set out in article 30 of the LAU. The maintenance and repair works that wear and tear by normal use of the Property and its installations may require shall be to the account of the Lessee.

8.3  The Lessor shall authorise any upgrade, refurbishment and work that the Lessee may wish to perform in the Property, including installations and utilities, and shall not authorise said works if they mean a danger or damage to the structure of the real estate or of the Property, weaken the materials used in the construction or affect common elements of the building (which for this purpose shall be confirmed by the Lessee through presentation to the Lessor before the start of the works of the relevant plan, design and work memorandum, qualities and finishes).

8.4.  The Lessor shall hand over to the Lessee before handing over the possession of the Property a copy of the energy efficiency certificate corresponding to same.

8.5.  Emergency Staircase

8.5.1. The Lessee hereby states that they know and accept that the Property Owners’ Association of the building in which the Property is situated has agreed to the possibility of an emergency staircase being built, which would pass through all the floors of the building and which would occupy, in purely tentative terms, approximately 6 square metres of the surface of the Property. Enclosed as Annex 2 is a copy of the plan that shows the surface that, as the case may be, will be taken up by said emergency staircase.

8.5.2. In case construction of said staircase is carried out, the Lessee, while expressly waiving that which is set out in article 30 in conjunction with articles 22 and 26 of the LAU, agree to facilitate technicians and workers access insofar as it may be necessary and to tolerate said works, which shall be performed such that inconvenience to the Lessee is minimised as much as possible. Without prejudice to the obligations of

 

8


the Property Owners’ Association, the Lessor assumes before the Lessee the cost of the works, including the finishes of the affected zone of the Property, such that they remain in conditions similar to those existing before the start of the works. The Lessor shall indemnify and hold the Lessee harmless for any claims that may result from the construction of said staircase.

8.5.3. If said construction is carried out, the monthly rent for the Property and the costs (including the property owners’ association fees and Real Estate Tax) shall be reduced as of the starting date of the works pro rata to the surface of the Property that may be occupied by said emergency staircase. During the works, the rent shall be reduced taking into account the harm that the Lessee may suffer as a consequence thereof.

 

9.

  Permits and Licences

9.1  The Lessor is exempt of any responsibility in case the existing opening Licences or permits are revoked or become invalid and the Property is ordered to close, except where it is caused by serious negligence or bad faith attributable to the Lessor.

 

10.

  Signs

10.1 The Lessee may install certain advertising signs and/or notices that they may deem convenient with prior consent of the Lessor, provided that said installation complies with the applicable regulation and has obtained the permits and licences necessary for its correct installation, adapting them to the applicable general rules of the property owners’ association of the real estate to which the leased Property belongs, and, as the case may be, upon prior consent of said association. The taxes, fees and permits required for said installations shall be to the Lessee’s account.

10.2 If the installation of signs involves works, that which is set out in Article 8.3 above shall apply. In any case, should the Agreement be terminated for any reason, the Lessee shall remove, at their expense and with full indemnification for the Lessor, any notices they may have installed whatsoever, leaving the place where they may have been installed in the current condition.

 

11.

  Taxes and Tax Withholding

11.1 The Agreement is subject to Value Added Tax (VAT), which shall be passed on to the Lessee in each one of the monthly rent receipts, pursuant to that which is set out in the Law and the Regulation of said tax, i.e. for the amount that may result from the application of the rate applicable to the rent at any time and other amounts that may constitute the tax base on the date of accrual.

11.2 The Lessee shall also pay the taxes, charges, fees and generally all the contributions or levies of any type that may be charged or withheld from the Property and the Parking Spaces for the reason of their activity.

 

9


11.3 Lacking confirmation of the cases in which the withholding provided for in Royal Decree 113/1998 of 30 January should not apply, the Lessee shall proceed with withholding an appropriate amount for its depositing in the Tax Office.

12.1 The Lessee may not transfer or assign this Lease Agreement without prior written consent of the Lessor.

12.2 The Parties agree that the Property and the Parking Spaces subject to this Agreement may not be subleased by the Lessee without express prior written consent of the Lessor.

12.3 An exception is made from that which is set out in Articles 12.1 and 12.2 above for transfer or sublease in favour of the business group of the Lessee, which shall not require the consent of the Lessor, which hereby authorises it and consents insofar as necessary, also expressly waiving any increase of the rent in case of said transfer or sublease.

 

13.
