15.2 The Rent shall be reviewed on the Review Date to equal:

 

  (a) the Rent payable on the last day of the Contractual Term of the Previous Lease (being the lease dated [    ] made between Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (1) and Meiragtx Limited (2) and Kadmon Corporation LLC (3)) (or which would then be payable but for any abatement or suspension of the Rent or restriction on the right to collect it) or, if greater;

 

  (b) the open market rent agreed or determined pursuant to this clause.

 

15.3 The open market rent may be agreed between the Landlord and the Tenant at any time before it is determined by the Surveyor.

 

15.4 If the open market rent is determined by the Surveyor, it shall be the amount that the Surveyor determines is the annual rent (exclusive of any VAT) at which the Property could reasonably be expected to be let:

 

  (a) in the open market;

 

  (b) at the Review Date;

 

  (c) on the assumptions listed in clause 15.5; and

 

  (d) disregarding the matters listed in clause 15.6.

 

15.5 The assumptions are:

 

  (a) the Property is available to let in the open market:

 

  (i) by a willing lessor to a willing lessee;

 

  (ii) as a whole;

 

  (iii) with vacant possession;

 

  (iv) without a fine or a premium;

 

  (v) for a term of 5 years commencing on [                    ]; and

 

  (vi) otherwise on the terms of this lease other than as to the amount of the Rent but including the provisions for review of the Rent;


  (b) the willing lessee has had the benefit of any rent-free or other concession or contribution which would be offered in the open market at the relevant Review Date in relation to fitting out works at the Property;

 

  (c) the Property may lawfully be used, and is in a physical state to enable it to be lawfully used, by the willing lessee (or any potential undertenant or assignee of the willing lessee) for any purpose permitted by this lease;

 

  (d) the Landlord and the Tenant have fully complied with their obligations in this lease;

 

  (e) if the Property, or any means of access to it or any Service Media serving the Property, has been destroyed or damaged, it has been fully restored;

 

  (f) no work has been carried out on the Property that has diminished its rental value;

 

  (g) any fixtures, fittings, machinery or equipment supplied to the Property by the Landlord that have been removed by or at the request of the Tenant, or any undertenant or their respective predecessors in title (otherwise than to comply with any law) remain at the Property; and

 

  (h) the willing lessee and its potential assignees and undertenants shall not be disadvantaged by any actual or potential exercise of an option to tax under Part 1 of Schedule 10 to the VATA 1994 in relation to the Property.

 

15.6 The matters to be disregarded are:

 

  (a) any effect on rent of the fact that the Tenant or any authorised undertenant has been in occupation of the Property;

 

  (b) any goodwill attached to the Property by reason of any business carried out there by the Tenant or by any authorised undertenant or by any of their predecessors in business;

 

  (c) any effect on rent attributable to any physical improvement to the Property carried out after the date of this lease, by or at the expense of the Tenant or any authorised undertenant with all necessary consents, approvals and authorisations and not pursuant to an obligation to the Landlord (other than an obligation to comply with any law);

 

  (d) any effect on rent of any obligation on the Tenant to reinstate the Property to the condition or design it was in before any alterations or improvements were carried out; and

 

  (e) any statutory restriction on rents or the right to recover them.

 

15.7 The Surveyor shall be an independent valuer who is a Member or Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The Landlord and the Tenant may, by agreement, appoint the Surveyor at any time before either of them applies to the President for the Surveyor to be appointed. Any application to the President may not be made earlier than three months before the relevant Review Date.

 

15.8

The Surveyor shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The Surveyor shall determine the open market rent and shall have power to determine any issue involving the interpretation of any provision of this lease, his jurisdiction to determine the matters and issues referred to him


  or his terms of reference. The Surveyor’s decision shall be given in writing, and the Surveyor shall provide reasons for any determination. The Surveyor’s written decision on the matters referred to him shall be final and binding in the absence of manifest error or fraud.

 

15.9 The Surveyor shall give the Landlord and the Tenant an opportunity to make written representations to the Surveyor and to make written counter-representations commenting on the representations of the other party to the Surveyor. The parties will provide (or procure that others provide) the Surveyor with such assistance and documents as the Surveyor reasonably requires for the purpose of reaching a decision.

 

15.10 Either the Landlord or the Tenant may apply to the President to discharge the Surveyor if the Surveyor:

 

  (a) dies;

 

  (b) becomes unwilling or incapable of acting; or

 

  (c) unreasonably delays in making any determination.

Clause 15.7 shall then apply in relation to the appointment of a replacement.

 

15.11 The fees and expenses of the Surveyor and the cost of the Surveyor’s appointment and any counsel’s fees, or other fees, reasonably incurred by the Surveyor shall be payable by the Landlord and the Tenant in the proportions that the Surveyor directs (or if the Surveyor makes no direction, then equally). If either the Landlord or the Tenant does not pay its part of the Surveyor’s fees and expenses within ten working days after demand by the Surveyor then:

 

  (a) the other party may pay instead; and

 

  (b) the amount so paid shall be a debt of the party that should have paid due and payable on demand to the party that actually made the payment.

The Landlord and the Tenant shall otherwise each bear their own costs in connection with the rent review.

 

15.12 If the revised Rent has not been agreed by the Landlord and the Tenant or determined by the Surveyor on or before the relevant Review Date, the Rent payable from that Review Date shall continue at the rate payable at the last day of the Contractual Term of the Previous Lease. No later than five working days after the revised Rent is agreed or the Surveyor’s determination is notified to the Landlord and the Tenant, the Tenant shall pay:

 

  (a) the shortfall (if any) between the amount that it has paid for the period from the Review Date of the New Lease until the Rent Payment Date following the date of agreement or notification of the revised Rent and the amount that would have been payable had the revised Rent been agreed or determined on or before that Review Date; and

 

  (b) interest at the Interest Rate on that shortfall calculated on a daily basis by reference to the Rent Payment Dates on which parts of the shortfall would have been payable if the revised Rent had been agreed or determined on or before that Review Date and the date payment is received by the Landlord.


15.13 Time shall not be of the essence for the purposes of this clause.

 

15.14 If at any time there is a guarantor, the guarantor shall not have any right to participate in the review of the Rent.
