If the Tenant's Works Deposit is not enough to cover the cost of the work, you must pay us immediately, when we inform you, the difference between the costs and expenses of the work and the Tenant's Works Deposit. To avoid any doubt, we may use the Security Deposit to pay the costs and expenses of any work we carry out under this clause or any Losses we suffer as a result of you not keeping to this Tenants' Guide.

6.5.2you have met all our requirements in respect of the Tenant's Works;

6.5.3you have made good any damage to the Premises, Building and Park, to our satisfaction; and

6.5.4we have deducted any amounts owing under the Lease.
Plain English Tenants' Guide template (Revised 080620)                              5










However, this will not affect any other rights we may have if we find you still owe us money or have not kept to the Lease after we return the Tenant's Works Deposit to you.

6A.    Tenant's Works - insurance

6A.1     Before starting any Tenant's Works, you must take out and maintain an all-risks policy and a comprehensive public liability insurance policy against claims for personal injury, death, property damage or Losses arising out of the tenant's works in the joint names of us and your contractors for our and their rights and interests. Each insurance policy must provide cover of at least S$2,000,000.00 (or any higher amount we notify you) for any one event and it must be effective for the entire period of the Tenant's Works. You must use a reputable insurance company, and each policy must include a cross-liability clause (that is, a clause which allows an insured party from claiming against another insured party if they are both covered by the same insurance policy).

6A.2     You must give us copies of such policies under clause 6A.1 if we ask for these. However, giving us these copies will not be considered as us knowing about any terms of such policies under clause 6A.1 and will not in any way reduce or affect your obligations under this clause.

7.Carrying out Tenant's Works

7.1Appointing a contractor and supervisor for buildings under warranty or before the CSC is issued

7.1.1For newly completed buildings which have yet to obtain the Certificate of Statutory Completion ('CSC') or buildings which are still under the defects liability period or warranties issued by the original equipment manufacturers, you must appoint our base build contractors and consultants to design and supervise the Tenant's Works to avoid the existing warranties and CSC application becoming null or void (that is, in a state as if they never existed). If you want to employ your own Qualified Person to design and supervise the Tenant's Works, the original contractors and consultants for the Building must check and approve this and you must pay all fees for this directly to these contractors and consultants. You must cover all other professional fees and charges we have to pay relating to the Tenant's Works. You must pay these to us within seven days of us or ASPL informing you the amount (or amounts) due.

7.1.2If you want to appoint any other contractors or consultants to carry out the Tenant's Works, you must get our approval before doing this. We will be reasonable when considering whether to give our approval. Any such contractor or consultant you appoint will not be treated as our employee or agent.

7.1.3Throughout the period of the Tenant's Works, you must appoint appropriate Qualified People to design the Tenant's Works, supervise the Tenant's Works and the conduct of the workmen, and take instructions from us and ASPL relating to the Tenant's Works.

7.1.4If any of your contractors or subcontractors create a nuisance or persistently ignore our or ASPL's instructions, we will not allow them to enter the Building or the Premises.

7.1.5You must make sure that the contractors and subcontractors you appoint to carry out the Tenant's Works do not use the Premises in any way for any residential purposes (temporary or otherwise).

7.2How the Tenant's Works should be carried out

(c)so as not to obstruct or be a nuisance to the other tenants, licensees or occupiers of the Building, the Park or the surrounding areas; and
