 ANNEXURE 

(Declaration [simple or statutory] per Schedule 2 of the 2003 Order) 

  
 31 








 I,         Katie M.
Bennett                     (name of -declarant) of             Flat 4 

Abbey Walk, Osney Lane, OXI INN             (address) do solemnly and sincerely
declare that— 
  

	1	OXFORD IMMUNOTEC LIMITED (Company number 04516079) whose registered office is at 91 Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX14 4RY (the “tenant”) proposes to enter into a tenancy of premises at 94C Milton
Park, Abingdon for a term commencing on a date to be calculated in accordance with an agreement for lease to be entered into between (1) the landlord and (2) the tenant. 


 

	2	The tenant proposes to enter into an agreement with MEPC MILTON PARK NO. 1 LIMITED (Company number 5491670) and MEPC MILTON PARK NO. 2 LIMITED (Company number 5491806) both of whose registered offices are
at 4th Floor, Lloyds Chambers, 1 Portsoken Street, London, E1 8LW (the “landlord”) that the provisions of sections 24 to 28 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (security of tenure) shall
be excluded in relation to the tenancy. 

  

	3	The landlord has served on the tenant a notice in the form, or substantially in the form, set out in Schedule 1 to the Regulatory Reform (Business Tenancies) (England and Wales) Order 2003. The form of notice set out in
that Schedule is reproduced below. 

  

	4	The tenant has read the notice referred to in paragraph 3 above and accepts the consequences of entering into the agreement referred to in paragraph 2 above. 


 

	5	I am duly authorised by the tenant to make this declaration. 

 To: 

Oxford Immunotech Limited 
 91 Milton Park, Abington, Oxfordshire,
OX14 4RY 
 From: 
 MEPC Milton Park No. 1 Limited and
MEPC Milton Park No. 2 Limited 
 4th Floor, Lloyds Chambers, 1 Portsoken Street, London, 1l 8LW

 IMPORTANT NOTICE 
 You are being offered a lease
without security of tenure. Do not commit yourself to the lease unless you have read this message carefully and have discussed it with a professional adviser. 

Business tenants normally have security of tenure – the right to stay in their business premises when the lease ends. 

If you commit yourself to the lease you will be giving up these important legal rights. 

—You will have no right to stay in the premises when the lease ends. 

—Unless the landlord chooses to offer you another lease, you will need to leave the premises. 

—You will be unable to claim compensation for the loss of your business premises, unless the lease specifically gives you this right. 

—If the landlord offers you another lease, you will have no right to ask the court to fix the rent. It is therefore important to get professional advice
– from a qualified surveyor, lawyer or accountant – before agreeing to give up these rights. 
 If you want to ensure that you can stay in the
same business premises when the lease ends, you should consult your adviser about another form of lease that does not exclude the protection of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. 

If you receive this notice at least 14 days before committing yourself to the lease, you will need to sign a simple declaration that you have received this
notice and have accepted its consequences, before signing the lease. 

  
 28 








 But if you do not receive at least 14 days notice, you will need to sign a “statutory” declaration. To
do so, you will need to visit an independent solicitor (or someone else empowered to administer oaths). 
 Unless there is a special reason for committing
yourself to the lease sooner, you may want to ask the landlord to let you have at least 14 days to consider whether you wish to give up your statutory rights. If you then decide to go ahead with the agreement to exclude the protection f the Landlord
and Tenant Act 1954, you would only need to make a simple declaration, and so would not need to make a separate visit to an independent solicitor. 
 AND I
make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the Statutory Declaration Act 1835. 
 /s/ Katie M. Bennett 

DECLARED at Oxford 9th February 2007 

Before me /s/ Deryn Bassett 
 (signature of person before whom
declaration is made) 
 A commissioner for oaths or A solicitor empowered to administer oaths or (as appropriate)
