     5.3 The Tenant must pay instalments in advance on each Rent Day on account of the Tenant’s Contribution. Each instalment is the Landlord’s estimate of the Tenant’s Contribution for the Outgoings Year divided by the number of Rent Days in that Outgoings Year.
     5.4 The Tenant need not pay instalments for the first Outgoings Year until the Landlord gives it a notice stating its estimates of the Outgoings and of the Tenant’s Contribution for that Outgoings Year.
     5.5 In each Outgoings Year after the first, until the Landlord gives the Tenant a notice of the Landlord’s estimates for that Outgoings Year, the Tenant must pay on each Rent Day, on account of the Tenant’s Contribution, an instalment equal to that payable on the previous Rent Date.
Notice of Actual Outgoings
     5.6 As soon as possible after the end of an Outgoings Year the Landlord must give the Tenant a notice giving reasonable details of the actual Outgoings.
Adjustments
     5.7 On the next Rent Day after the Landlord gives the Tenant a notice of either estimated or actual Outgoings, the Tenant must pay the Landlord (or the
     Landlord must credit the Tenant with) the difference between what the Tenant has paid on account of the Tenant’s Contribution for the Outgoings Year to which the notice applies and what the notice says is payable.
Variation of Lettable Area
     5.8 From and including the date that the Landlord is satisfied that the Lettable Area of the Building or the Premises or both is varied, the percentage in item 6 becomes the proportion (expressed as a percentage) obtained by dividing the Lettable Area of the Premises by the Lettable Area of the Building on that date. The Landlord must give the Tenant a notice that the percentage in item 6 is varied and from what date.

 


 

Services Outside Hours
     5.9 If, at the Tenant’s request, the Landlord makes Services available to the Land, the Building or the Premises during the hours of restricted access set out in item 9, then the Tenant must pay the Landlord’s reasonable costs, charges and expenses of making the Services available within seven days after the Landlord asks the Tenant for them.

     5.10 The Tenant must pay the Landlord’s costs of providing a cleaning service to the Premises (if the Landlord provides that service).
6. Payment Requirement
     6.1 The Tenant must make payments under this lease to the Landlord (or to a person nominated by the Landlord in a notice to the Tenant) by the method the Landlord reasonably requires without set-oft, counterclaim, withholding or deduction.
     6.2 If the Tenant pays an amount and it is found later that the amount was not correct, then even if the Landlord has given the Tenant a receipt, the Tenant must pay the Landlord (or the Landlord must credit the Tenant with) the difference between what the Tenant has paid and what the Tenant should have paid within seven days after either party gives the other a notice about the mistake.
     6.3 The Landlord need not make demand for any amount payable by the Tenant unless this lease says that demand must be made.
     6.4 If the Tenant must pay an amount on the next Rent Day and there is no next Rent Day, then the Tenant must pay that amount within seven days after the Landlord demands it.
     6.5 Expiry or termination of this lease does not affect the Tenant’s obligations to make payments under this lease for period before then.
     6.6 Each payment by the Tenant must be made with an additional amount equal to any goods and services, consumption, value added or similar tax applying to that payment.
Interest on Overdue Money
     6.7 If the Tenant does not pay any amount payable by it under this lease on time, it must pay interest on that amount on demand by the Landlord from when it becomes due for payment until it is paid. Interest is calculated on daily balances at a rate 2% per annum above the rate quoted on the day of demand by the Landlord’s bankers (as nominated by the Landlord) on unsecured overdraft accommodation over $100,000.00.

 


 

7. Insurances
     7.1 The Tenant must:
          (a) in connection with the Premise, maintain with insurers and on terms (including a cross liability and waiver of subrogation clause) approved by the Landlord (who may not unreasonably withhold its approval) in the names of the Tenant, the Landlord and any other person named by the Landlord;
