13.2.2              the proposed assignee does not have in the opinion of the Landlord sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations under this Lease; or

 

13.2.3              the requirements set out in clause 13.3 are not satisfied.

 

13.3                                Landlord’s consent to assignment

 

The Landlord’s consent to an assignment does not take effect unless and until:

 

13.3.1              a deed in a form and containing such provisions as are reasonably required by the Landlord is entered into by the Tenant, the proposed assignee, the Landlord and any incoming or outgoing guarantors;

 

13.3.2              any arrears of Rent or other moneys due but unpaid under this Lease at the time of the assignment have been paid;

 

13.3.3              the proposed assignee delivers to the Landlord any lease security that is reasonably required by the Landlord; and

 

13.3.4              all reasonable costs incurred by the Landlord in relation to the proposed assignment of this Lease are paid by the Tenant (whether or not the proposed assignment proceeds to completion).

 

13.4                                Sublease

 

The Tenant must not enter into any sublease of the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior consent of the Landlord such consent not being unreasonably withheld. The Landlord is entitled to withhold consent to a sublease if:

 

13.4.1              the proposed sublessee intends to change the use of the Premises;

 

13.4.2              a deed in a form and containing such provisions as are reasonably required by the Landlord is not entered into by the Tenant, the proposed sublessee, the Landlord and any incoming guarantors of the sublessee;

13.4.4              all reasonable costs incurred by the Landlord in relation to the proposed sublease and the granting of the consent of the Landlord have not been paid by the Tenant;

 

13.4.5              the rent to be paid under the sublease is not in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord market rent at the date of the granting of the sublease (unless the Tenant provides written confirmation to the Landlord that the rent to be paid under the sublease is below the current market rent) or in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord the sublease is not otherwise on reasonable terms and conditions including that the term of the sublease must expire no later than the termination of this Lease; and

13.5.1              If the Tenant is a corporation (other than a corporation listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX)), a change in effective control of the Tenant (by way of change in 51 % or more of the shareholding ownership or otherwise) is deemed to be an assignment of this Lease, to which clauses 13.2 and 13.3 apply. The Landlord’s decision as to whether there has been a change in effective control of the Tenant is decisive. For the voidance of doubt, a change in effective control of the parent or holding company of the Tenant does not constitute a change in effective control of the Tenant, and is therefore not deemed to be an assignment of this Lease to which clauses 13.2 and 13.3 apply.

 

13.5.2              If the Tenant is a corporation listed on the ASX, then before delisting the Tenant must:

14.1.1              subject to clause 14.4, the Landlord must reduce the Rent and other moneys payable under this Lease by a reasonable amount having regard to the nature and extent of the damage or destruction until this Lease comes to an end or the Premises are again fit for use;

 

14.1.2              the Tenant must continue to occupy and use any part of the Premises that remains useable, safe and accessible, and comply with this Lease to the extent possible; and

 

14.1.3              subject to clause 14.4, the Tenant may give a notice to the Landlord asking for the damage or destruction to be repaired.

(b)                                 must give the Tenant a notice within 3 months of the damage or destruction notifying whether the Landlord intends to repair or rebuild the damage or destruction as the case may be; or

 

(c)                                  may terminate the Lease by giving the Tenant not less than 1 month’s notice expiring on any day where the Landlord forms the opinion that the repair of the damage or destruction is impracticable or undesirable.

33











 

14.3                                Tenant’s entitlements

 

Subject to clause 14.4, the Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving the Landlord not less than 1 month’s notice expiring on any day if the Landlord gives the Tenant a notice under clause 14.2.1(b) and fails to repair the damage or destruction within a reasonable time after having given that notice.

 

14.4                                Limitation on the Tenant’s entitlements

14.5                                Resumption

 

Either the Landlord or the Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving the other party not less than 1 month’s notice expiring on any day if a governmental agency resumes the Premises or the Building (or any part of them) and in doing so makes the Premises unfit for the Tenant’s use. The Landlord is not liable to pay the Tenant any compensation because of resumption but the Tenant may make its own claim for compensation from the resuming authority.

 

15.                                       Expiry or termination of term

 

15.1                                Tenant to yield up and remove its fittings

If the Tenant fails to remove the Tenant’s moveable furnishings and equipment as required by clause 15.1, or in the event of determination under clause 16, the Landlord may:

 

15.3.1              cause the Tenant’s moveable furnishings and equipment to be removed and stored in the manner the Landlord in its absolute discretion thinks fit at the risk and at the cost of the Tenant; or

 

15.3.2              treat the Tenant’s moveable furnishings and equipment as if the Tenant had abandoned its interest in them and they had become the property of the Landlord, and deal with them in the manner the Landlord thinks fit without being liable in any way to account to the Tenant for them.
