Properties or (in the case of prior incorporated companies) to the date 22 days after the company ceased to have an interest in the Leased Properties, such interim reports to be dated not earlier than 3 Business Days prior to the Completion Date. No
such search (including interim reports) will disclose any entries prejudicial to the Vendor’s or the prior proprietors’ (as the case may be) ability to grant a valid disposition of the Leased Properties and /or a valid assignation of the
tenant’s interest in the Leased Properties. In the event that the search (or interim report) in the register of charges against the Vendor discloses one or more floating charges, the Vendor will deliver a letter of non-crystallisation of each
such floating charge from the holder thereof in terms acceptable to the Purchaser, including the consent of the chargeholder to the transfer of the Leased Properties to the Purchaser. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Vendor
