In the event of any breach by the Vendor of any of the Vendor’s obligations of this Clause 11.1, the Purchaser may elect, in its absolute discretion, by notice in writing to the Vendor, to rescind this Agreement. Upon the Vendor’s Solicitors’ receipt of such notice, the Vendor shall, within seven (7) Business Days, rectify such breach to the satisfaction of the Purchaser (if so capable of being rectified), failing which this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further effect whatsoever, and the Vendor shall, within seven (7) Business Days, refund all moneys paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor pursuant to this Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding, including the Initial Payment and/or the Deposit and GST thereon, without any interest or compensation whatsoever. On rescission, the Purchaser shall immediately return to the Vendor all title documents and at the Purchaser’s cost withdraw any caveats and cancel any entries relating to the Property in the Singapore Land Authority. Each Party shall bear its own solicitors’ costs in the matter and neither shall have any further claim or demand against the other for damages, costs or otherwise.

  (b) If at any time prior to Completion, the Property is materially damaged, the Purchaser may elect, by notice in writing to the Vendor, to rescind this Agreement. Upon the Vendor’s Solicitors’ receipt of such notice, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further effect whatsoever, and the Vendor shall, within seven (7) Business Days, refund all moneys paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor pursuant to this Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding, including the Initial Payment and/or the Deposit and GST thereon, without any interest or compensation whatsoever. On rescission, the Purchaser shall immediately return to the Vendor all title documents and at the Purchaser’s cost withdraw any caveats and cancel any entries relating to the Property in the Singapore Land Authority.

If the damage is not repaired by the Repair Date as agreed between the Vendor and the Purchaser, Clause 10.4 shall apply.

 

  (d) For the purposes of Clauses 12(b) and 12(e),” materially damaged” means damage to the Property so as to be unfit for use or occupation or rendered unsafe or inaccessible or cannot lawfully be used.

13.3 Misdescription shall not annul this Agreement

Any misdescription of the area or otherwise of the Property or any part thereof shall not annul the sale nor shall the Purchaser be allowed any compensation in respect thereof.

WHEREAS:

 

(A) Pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated 4 October 2017 (“Sale and Purchase Agreement”) made between the Vendor of the one part and the Purchaser of the other part, the Vendor had agreed to sell and the Purchaser had agreed to purchase the Property together with the Plant and Equipment, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

 

(B) The Vendor is entitled to the benefit of the guarantees and warranties furnished to the Vendor, and which are subsisting as at Completion Date in respect of the Property and/or the Plant and Equipment as more particularly set out in Appendix 2 of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (collectively the “Building Warranties” and individually a “Warranty”).

 

(C) Under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Vendor has agreed that it shall, from and including the Completion Date, assign to the Purchaser all of its rights and benefits under the Building Warranties.

NOW IT IS AGREED as follows:

 

1. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

 

1.1 Definitions

In this Deed, unless the context requires otherwise, all words and expressions defined in the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall have the same meaning when used or referenced herein.

 

1.2 Interpretation

 

  (a) The headings in this Deed are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof.

 

  (b) Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the singular number shall include references to the plural number and vice versa, references to natural persons shall include bodies corporate, and the use of any gender shall include all genders.

 

  (c) References to any agreement or document including this Deed shall include such agreement or document as amended, modified, varied or supplemented from time to time.

 

2


  (d) Any reference to a statutory provision shall include such provision and any regulations made in pursuance thereof as from time to time modified or reenacted whether before or after the date of this Deed so far as such modification or reenactment applies or is capable of applying to any transactions entered into prior to the date of this Deed and (so far as liability thereunder may exist or can arise) shall include also any past statutory provisions or regulations (as from time to time modified or reenacted) which such provisions or regulations have directly or indirectly replaced.

 

  (e) References to a “person” shall be construed so as to include any individual, firm, company, corporation or other body corporate, government, state or agency of a state or any joint venture, association, partnership, works council or employee representative body (whether or not having separate legal personality).

 

  (f) References to times of the day and days of the year are to time and dates in Singapore unless otherwise stated.

 

  (g) References to any Singapore legal term for any action, remedy, method or judicial proceeding, legal document, legal status, court, official, or any legal concept or thing shall in respect of any jurisdiction other than Singapore be deemed to include what most nearly approximates in that jurisdiction to the Singapore legal term.

 

  (h) The words “written” and “in writing” include any means of visible reproduction.
