		Without prejudice to sub-section 18(3) of the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995, the Assignee’s Guarantor’s liability under this licence shall be and remain in full force and effect and will not be avoided, released, discharged or reduced nor will the rights of the Landlord or the Tenant be prejudiced or affected by any of the following:

		and the parties acknowledge that each of the matters listed above is separate and independent and is not to be interpreted in the light of any other.

6.7		Waiver by Assignee’s Guarantor of its rights

6.7.1

Until all the obligations of the Assignee’s Guarantor under this licence have been paid, discharged or satisfied irrevocably and in full (and notwithstanding payment of a

dividend in any liquidation or bankruptcy or under any compromise or arrangement), the Assignee’s Guarantor agrees not, without the consent of the Landlord and the Tenant, to:

	(a)		exercise any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or contribution against the Assignee or any other person who is liable;

	(b)		accept repayment in whole or in part of any indebtedness now or hereafter due to the Assignee’s Guarantor from the Assignee or from any other person who is liable;

	(c)		demand or accept any security from the Assignee or any other person who is liable in respect of the obligations of the Assignee’s Guarantor under this licence or in respect of any indebtedness due to the Assignee’s Guarantor from the Assignee or any other person who is liable, and any security received by the Assignee’s Guarantor in breach of the above or any such security held by the Assignee’s Guarantor at the date of completion of the Assignment shall be held by the Assignee’s Guarantor on trust for the Landlord and/or the Tenant and delivered to the Landlord and/or the Tenant on demand;

	(d)		claim any set-off (whether legal or equitable), counterclaim or deduction against the Assignee or any other person who is liable;

	(e)		benefit or seek to benefit from any security or other right or remedy now or hereafter held by or accruing to the Landlord and/or the Tenant in respect of the liabilities guaranteed under this licence or to exercise any right of subrogation; or

	(f)		claim or prove in competition with the Landlord and/or the Tenant in the liquidation, bankruptcy or arrangement of the Assignee or any other person who is liable, or have the benefit of or share in any payment or distribution from the same and any money or other property received by the Assignee’s Guarantor in breach of this shall be held by the Assignee’s Guarantor on trust for the Landlord and/or the Tenant and delivered to the Landlord and/or the Tenant on demand.

6.7.2

The obligations of the Assignee’s Guarantor under this licence may be enforced by the Landlord and/or the Tenant against the Assignee’s Guarantor at its discretion and without enforcing or seeking to enforce its rights or remedies against the Assignee or any other person who is liable or pursuing any other right or remedy or having recourse to any security available to it.

6.8

Ultimate balance and suspense account

6.8.1		All dividends and moneys received by the Landlord and/or the Tenant from the Assignee or any other person which are not paid into a suspense account and which are capable of being applied by the Landlord and/or the Tenant in satisfaction of the liabilities guaranteed under this licence will not prejudice the right of the Landlord and/or the Tenant to recover from the Assignee’s Guarantor the ultimate balance which, after receipt of such dividends and moneys, may remain owing or be expressed to be owing to the Landlord and/or the Tenant.

6.8.2		Any money received in respect of the liabilities guaranteed under this licence may be placed to the credit of a suspense account (with a view to preserving the rights of the Landlord and/or the Tenant to prove for the whole of its claims against the Assignee or any other person who is liable) and/or may be applied in or towards satisfaction of such

of the liabilities guaranteed under this licence as the Landlord and/or the Tenant may from time to time conclusively determine in their absolute discretion.

6.9

Assignee’s Guarantor to take a new lease

6.9.1

In this clause a “Relevant Event” is:

	(a)		the surrender of the Underlease by the tenant for the time being under the Underlease acting by a Insolvency Practitioner appointed to it, over it or in relation to any of its assets or undertaking (whether such Insolvency Practitioner is appointed in England and Wales or in any other jurisdiction and whether or not such Insolvency Practitioner is appointed in relation to any or all of the Assignee’s assets in England and Wales or in any other jurisdiction); or

	(b)		the disclaimer of the Underlease, or of the obligations in it of the tenant for the time being under the Underlease; or

	(c)		the forfeiture of the Underlease; or

	(d)		the tenant for the time being under the Underlease (being a company) ceasing to exist (whether or not it is capable of being reconstituted or reinstated).

6.9.2		If a Relevant Event occurs the Assignee’s Guarantor agrees, at the request of the Landlord and/or the Tenant made within 12 months following the Landlord and/or the Tenant having notice of the Relevant Event, to take a new lease of the Underlet Premises from the Tenant.

6.9.3		Such new lease shall:

	(a)		be for a term commencing on the date of the Relevant Event and be equal to the unexpired residue of the Underlease Term (or the residue which would be unexpired but for the Relevant Event) as at the date of the Relevant Event;

	(b)		reserve a rent equal to the Rent reserved under the Underlease immediately before the Relevant Event;

	(c)		have no provision for a rent-free period;

	(d)		have no break clause;

	(e)		otherwise be on the same terms as the Underlease (mutatis mutandis); and

	(f)		take effect from the date of the Relevant Event.

6.9.4		The new lease will take effect subject to the Lease and the Underlease, if and to the extent that they are still subsisting, and subject to any underlease or other interest created or permitted by the tenant under the Underlease at the time of the Relevant Event or its predecessors in title thereto.

6.9.5		The Assignee’s Guarantor shall pay the Landlord’s and the Tenant’s costs and expenses (on an indemnity basis) in connection with the grant of such new lease and any consent and shall execute and deliver a counterpart of it and any consent to the Landlord and the Tenant.

6.9.6		If the Landlord and/or the Tenant do not require the Assignee’s Guarantor to take a new lease of the Underlet Premises in circumstances other than where there has been a disclaimer, the Assignee’s Guarantor shall nevertheless pay on demand to the Tenant a sum equal to the Rent and other sums due under the Underlease which would have been payable but for the Relevant Event in respect of the period from the date of the

Relevant Event until 12 months after it or, if sooner, the date the Underlet Premises are re-let.

6.10

Supplementary provisions

6.10.1		The provisions of clause 6 of this licence are in addition to any other security or any other right or remedy held by or available to the Landlord and/or the Tenant from time to time.

6.10.2		The Landlord and the Tenant are under no obligation to take up or to maintain any other security in respect of the liabilities guaranteed by this licence.

6.10.3		As and when called upon to do so by either the Landlord, the Tenant or the Assignee, the Assignee’s Guarantor shall enter into any document supplemental to the Underlease (by deed if required) for the purpose of consenting to the Assignee entering into such supplemental document and confirming that, subject only to sub-section 18(3) of the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995, all the obligations of the Assignee’s Guarantor will remain in full force and effect in respect of the Underlease.

6.10.4		The Assignee’s Guarantor agrees to pay to the Landlord and the Tenant on demand, and on an indemnity basis, all legal and other costs and expenses and a sum equal to all value added tax thereon which may be payable by the Landlord and the Tenant in relation to the enforcement of the Assignee’s Guarantor’s obligations in this licence.

6.10.5		The Assignee’s Guarantor agrees to pay interest on each amount due from it under this licence, at the Interest Rate for the period starting with the date that such amount became due from the Tenant and/or Assignee’s Guarantor (as the case may be) until payment (both before and after any judgment) but provided that the Assignee’s Guarantor shall not be liable to pay interest upon interest due from the Assignee and paid by the Assignee’s Guarantor.

6.10.6		All payments to be made by the Assignee’s Guarantor under this licence shall be made in full and the Assignee’s Guarantor shall claim no allowance in respect of any set-off (whether legal or equitable), counterclaim or deduction whatsoever whether accruing to the Assignee’s Guarantor or to any other person.

6.10.7		Each of the provisions of clause 6 is distinct and severable from the others, and if at any time one or more such provisions is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable (either wholly or to any extent), the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or the same provision to any other extent) will not be affected or impaired.

6.10.8		Any notices given in connection with clause 6 of this licence must be in writing and will only be validly served if sent by first class post, or registered post or by recorded delivery and addressed to the Landlord or the Tenant or the Assignee or the Tenant’s Guarantor or the Assignee’s Guarantor at its address given in this licence or, in the case of the Landlord, at such other address as the Landlord has notified to the Assignee’s Guarantor in writing. A notice sent by post from within the United Kingdom and correctly addressed and properly stamped will be conclusively treated as having been delivered two working days after posting.

6.10.9		This guarantee and indemnity will enure for the benefit of the Landlord and the Tenant and their successors in title without any need for express assignment.

JURISDICTION

7.1		Except where otherwise provided if any dispute shall arise between the parties hereto with respect to the construction or effect of this licence or any clause or thing therein or herein contained or the rights, duties or liabilities of the parties under or by virtue of or arising out of or in consequence of the Lease, the Underlease, the subject of this licence or any thing therein or herein contained or any of such rights, duties and liabilities or otherwise in connection with the demised premises or any proceedings instituted or prosecuted or maintained it shall be determined by the English courts according to the laws of England.

8.2		Neither this licence nor the Assignment will release or lessen the liability under the Lease of the Tenant or under the Underlease of the Undertenant or any other person, whether before or after the date of this licence.
