TERMINATION

 

 

15.1

Condition of Premises

 

 

 

On the Termination Date (or earlier termination of this Lease) the Lessee must deliver up the Premises to the Lessor in the same condition as at the Commencement Date, fair wear and tear excepted.

 

 

15.2

Removal of Lessee’s Property

 

 

 

Prior to the Termination Date, the Lessee may, at its discretion, remove all or part of its Removable Equipment from the premises and rectify any damage caused to the Premises by that removal.  The Lessee shall only be entitled (but shall not be required) to remove any additional item of plant and equipment owned by it if it has obtained the prior written consent of the Lessor.

 

 

15.3

Consequences of Non-Removal

 

 

 

If  the Lessee does not remove its property from the Premises within 14 days after the Termination Date, the Lessor may treat the Lessee’s property as abandoned and deal with it in any way it chooses.  The Lessee will have no claim for any proceeds received on the sale of the Lessee’s property by the Lessor.

 

 

15.4

Holding Over

 

 

 

If the Lessee, with the consent of the Lessor, occupies the Premises after the Termination Date (other than pursuant to the grant of a further lease), the Lessee will do so as a monthly tenant on the same terms and conditions as this Lease as far as they apply to a monthly tenancy.

 

 

 

 

16.

CHANGES IN TAXATION

 

 

16.1

Parties to Confer

 

 

 

If and whenever during the term of this Lease the system of taxation in Australia is changed so that the amount of the Gross Sales on which Percentage Rent is calculated is varied, the parties shall at the written request of either of them to the other confer in good faith with a view to reaching agreement on an alternative formula for the calculation of Percentage Rent which removes so far as is reasonably practicable any disadvantage which either party may suffer (or if that is not achievable, which disadvantages neither party more than the other) from any such change in the system of taxation.  Any such request shall be made not earlier than three (3) months and not later than twelve (12) months after the change in the system of taxation becomes effective.  Only one request may be made in respect of each change.

16.2

Failure to Agree

 

 

 

If the parties have not reached agreement on an alternative formula within sixty (60) days after service of the request to confer, either party may at any time thereafter prior to reaching agreement (evidenced in writing) by notice in writing to the other require that an alternative formula be determined by an independent assessor in accordance with the following provisions:-

 

 

 

(a)

If the parties have not agreed upon an independent assessor and/or agreed with the independent assessor upon the terms and conditions of his appointment within fourteen (14) days after the service of the notice requiring an independent assessor, either party may at any time thereafter request the President for the time being of the Queensland Division of the Australian Property Institute to appoint an assessor and/or to fix the terms and conditions of his appointment.

 

 

 

 

(b)

The conditions of appointment of the assessor shall require the assessor to give his ruling in writing stating his reasons within sixty (60) days of his appointment.

 

 

 

 

(c)

The independent assessor shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

 

 

 

 

(d)

Each party may within thirty (30) days of the appointment but not thereafter make one written submission to the assessor and shall contemporaneously forward a copy of that submission to the other party.

 

 

 

 

(e)

Each party may within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of a copy of the other party’s submission but not thereafter forward to the assessor one written response to the other party’s submission.

 

 

 

 

(f)

No other submission shall be made by either party to the assessor unless requested by the assessor.  The assessor shall not be obliged to have regard to any submission or response not given within the prescribed time.

 

 

 

 

(g)

The preferred form of alternative formula is one which adjusts the rates used for the calculation of Percentage Rent and/or adjusts the threshold figures used for the calculation of Percentage Rent but the assessor shall be at liberty to depart from the preferred form if the preferred form is not practicable having regard to the nature of the changes to the system of taxation.

 

 

 

 

(h)

Each party shall be bound by the ruling of the assessor which shall not be challenged by either party except to correct a manifest error in law made by the assessor.

 

 

 

 

(i)

The fees and expenses of any assessor shall be paid one-half by the Lessor and one-half by the Lessee and either party paying the full amount thereof may recover one-half of such amount from the other as a debt.

16.4

Transitional Provisions

 

 

 

Pending agreement (or determination) of an alternative formula, the Lessee shall continue to pay Percentage Rent in accordance with the then existing formula but on reaching agreement (or determination), such agreement (or determination) shall apply retrospectively to the date on which the change in the system of taxation becomes effective and any necessary adjustments shall be made between the parties.

In this clause, “GST” means a goods and services tax or any similar tax, impost or duty introduced by the Commonwealth of Australia or any State or Territory of Australia.

 

 

17.2

GST Payments

 

 

 

If any supply under this Lease (including the supply of the right to occupy the Premises and the supply of any goods, services, rights, benefits or other things) is or becomes subject to GST the Lessor may, in addition to any amount or consideration payable or to be provided under this Lease, recover from the Lessee an additional amount on account of GST, such amount to be calculated by multiplying the value of the consideration payable or to be provided by the Lessee for the relevant supply by the prevailing GST rate.  Any additional amount recoverable by the Lessor under this clause is payable by the Lessee at the same time as the consideration for the relevant supply is payable or to be provided.

 

 

 

 

18.

LAND TAX

 

 

18.1

Adjustment of Land Tax Payable by Lessor

 

 

 

In the event that the Queensland Government ceases to charge land tax to (or adjusts the amount of land tax payable by) owners of freehold properties in Queensland, the Annual Rent payable by the Lessee to the Lessor will be adjusted by an amount agreed by the Lessor and Lessee as representing the extent of the change in the Lessor’s land tax liability.

 

 

 

This clause will be applied on each occasion on which the Lessor’s land tax liability is adjusted.

 

 

18.2

Failure to Agree

 

 

 

If the parties are unable to agree on the amount of the rental adjustment to be made under Clause 18.1, the matter will be referred to an independent assessor for determination.  Such assessment will be conducted in the same manner as is set out in Clause 16.2, with the exception of sub-clause (g) of that provision.

 

 

18.3

Rental Adjustment

 

 

 

Any rental adjustment referred to in either of Clauses 18.1 or 18.2 will be made as from the effective date on which the Lessor is no longer liable for payment of the relevant amount of land tax.
