1.5   The yearly rent reserved by the New Lease shall be a rent equal to the greater of:

  (b)   the revised rent ascertained in accordance with clause 1.6
 
1.6 (a)   The revised rent payable under the New Lease may be agreed in writing at any time between the Landlord and the Tenant or (in the absence of agreement) determined not earlier than the date two months before the expiry of the Contractual Term ( the Review Date) at the option of the Landlord by an independent valuer (acting as an expert ) of recognised standing and having experience in letting and valuing property of a like kind and character to the Property.
 
  (b)   In the absence of agreement the independent valuer may be nominated by or on behalf of the president for the time being of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors on the application of either the Landlord or the Tenant made not earlier than two months before the Review Date.
 
  (c)   In the case of valuation the revised rent to be determined by the valuer will be such as he decides is the full yearly rent at which the Property might reasonably be expected to be let at the Review Date:
  (i)   after the expiry of a rent free period or a concessionary rent period given for fitting-out purposes only of such length and the giving of such other inducements (including, without limitation, any rental concession, capital payment or contribution to fitting out costs) given for fitting out purposes only as in either case would be negotiated in the open market between a willing landlord and a willing tenant so that the yearly rent is that payable after the expiry of any such rent free period or concessionary rent period and after the giving of any such inducement; and
 
  (ii)   on the assumptions set out in clause 1.6(d) but disregarding the matters set out in clause 1.6(e).

60


 

  (d)   The assumptions are that at the Review Date:
  (i)   the Property:
  (A)   is available to let on the open market by a willing landlord to a willing tenant by one lease without a premium from either party and with vacant possession for a term of 10 years commencing on the Review Date with the rent payable from then;
 
  (B)   is to be let as a whole on a lease which is to contain the same terms as this Lease (other than the amount of the rent referred to in clause 4.1 and any rent free or reduced rent period allowed to the Tenant but including the provisions for review of that rent at the fifth anniversary of the relevant Review Date);
 
  (C)   is fit and available for immediate occupation and use and is fitted out for the incoming tenant’s immediate use as authorised by this Lease in accordance with the incoming tenant’s requirements and if then destroyed or damaged that it has been fully reinstated; and
 
  (D)   may be used for any of the purposes permitted by this Lease including any purpose which falls within the same use class (under the Town & Country Planning (Use Classes) Order for the time being in force) as the purpose permitted by this Lease;
  (ii)   all the covenants in this Lease by the Landlord and the Tenant have been performed and observed; and
 
  (iii)   no work has been carried out to the Property which has diminished the rental value and in case the Building has been destroyed or damaged it has been fully restored.
  (e)   The matters to be disregarded are:
  (i)   any effect on rent of the fact that the Tenant, its subtenants or their respective
 
      predecessors in title have been in occupation of the Property;
 
  (ii)   any goodwill attached to the Property by reason of the carrying on at it of the business of the Tenant, its subtenants or their predecessors in title in their respective businesses; and
 
  (iii)   any increase in rental value of the Property attributable to the existence at the Review Date of any voluntary improvement alteration or addition to the Property carried out by and at the cost of the Tenant, its subtenants or their respective predecessors in title during the Term or during any earlier period of occupation arising out of an agreement to grant the Term.
      In this clause a voluntary improvement alteration or addition is one carried out with the consent of the Landlord (where required) but not under an obligation to the Landlord or its predecessors in title.
 
  (f)   In the case of determination by a valuer:

61


 

  (i)   the fees and expenses of the valuer including the cost of his appointment must be borne as he decides or in the absence of any decision equally by the Landlord and the Tenant who must otherwise each bear their own costs;
 
  (ii)   the valuer must afford the Landlord and the Tenant an opportunity to make representations to him; and
 
  (iii)   if the valuer dies, delays or becomes unwilling or incapable of acting or if for any other reason the president for the time being of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors or the person acting on his behalf thinks fit he may discharge the valuer and appoint another in his place.
  (g)   If the revised rent payable with effect from the Review Date has not been agreed by the Review Date rent will continue to be payable at the rate previously payable. Within 10 Business Days of the revised rent being ascertained the Tenant must pay to the Landlord any shortfall between the rent and the revised rent payable up to and on the preceding Quarter Day together with interest at the Interest Rate calculated on a day to day basis on each part of the shortfall from the date or respective dates on which each part would have been due for payment had the revised rent been ascertained before the Review Date until the date of payment.
 
      For the purpose of this clause the revised rent will be deemed to have been ascertained on the date when it has been agreed between the Landlord and the Tenant or the date of the determination by the valuer and notified in writing to the Tenant.
 
  (h)   If either the Landlord or the Tenant fails to pay any costs awarded against it in the case of an arbitration or the relevant part of the fees and expenses of the valuer under clause 1.6(f) within 15 Business Days of the same being demanded by the valuer the other may pay the same and the amount so paid must be repaid on demand by the party chargeable and is recoverable from that party as a debt due. If the valuer requires payment of his fees and expenses before releasing his determination, either the Landlord or the Tenant may pay them and recover the other’s share of them from the other.
 
  (i)   Time is not of the essence for the purposes of this clause.
17   The Landlord shall produce the engrossments of the New Lease and the counterpart and the Tenant and the New Lease Guarantor (if any) shall each execute the counterpart and deliver it to the Landlord on completion.
 
2.   ADDITIONAL RENT FREE PERIOD
 
    If the Tenant enters into the New Lease pursuant to paragraph 1 above then the Landlord shall grant an additional rent free period of three months commencing on the Term Commencement Date of the New Lease such rent free period to apply (for the avoidance of doubt) only to the yearly rent reserved by Clause 4.1 of the New Lease.
