 Any obligation by the Landlord to reinstate under this Lease does not
include an obligation to reinstate tenant’s fixtures and fittings. The Property is not to be treated as unfit for occupation and use under this Lease just because the tenant’s fixtures and fittings have not been reinstated. 

  
 21 









	23	LANDLORD’S INSURANCE COVENANTS 

  

	23.1	The Landlord will take out and keep in force Insurance as far as it is not vitiated by any act, neglect or default of the Tenant or anyone deriving title through the Tenant or anyone at the Property with the express or
implied authority of either of them. 

  

	23.2	The Landlord will obtain a disapplication of any exclusion for Terrorism activity if and as far as it is able to do so on reasonable commercial terms. 


 

	23.3	The Landlord will use reasonable endeavours to make sure that: 

  

	 	(a)	the Tenant’s interest is noted on the Insurance policies for the Building either specifically or generically; 

  

	 	(b)	the insurers agree to waive all rights of subrogation against the Tenant on standard insurers’ terms. 

  

	23.4	At the Tenant’s written request (but not more than once in any year), the Landlord will give the Tenant a copy or adequate details of the Insurance policies and evidence that they are in force and details of any
commission paid to the Landlord by the insurers. 

  

	23.5	The Landlord will give the Tenant adequate details in writing of any material change in the risks covered by the Insurance policies from time to time. 


 

	23.6	If the Property (or access to the Property) is destroyed or damaged by any of the Insured Risks then: 

  

	 	(a)	unless:

	 	(b)	subject to the Landlord obtaining any required planning permission or other necessary consents and the necessary labour and materials being and remaining available which the Landlord shall use reasonable endeavours to
obtain 

 the Landlord will apply the net proceeds of such insurance (except sums received for Loss of Rent) in carrying out
any necessary works of reinstatement as soon as reasonably practicable. The Landlord may reinstate with any changes required to comply with any planning consents or to reflect modern building practice (including any enhanced environmental standards)
or otherwise reasonably required by it so long as the accommodation and facilities provided for the Tenant are reasonably equivalent to those granted by this Lease. 
  

	24	RENT SUSPENSION 

  

	24.1	If: 

  

	 	(a)	the Building is destroyed or so damaged by an Insured Risk that the Property is wholly or partially unfit for occupation and use or inaccessible; and 


 

	 	(b)	the Insurance has not been vitiated or any payment refused due to some act, neglect or default of the Tenant or anyone deriving title through the Tenant or anyone at the Property with the express or implied authority of
either of them 

 then the Principal Rent and Service Charge or a fair proportion of them according to the nature and extent of
the damage will be suspended until the Property is reinstated and accessible to the extent only that such loss of Principal Rent and Service Charge is recoverable under Insurance against Loss of Rent (or would be so recoverable if the Landlord had
fully complied with its insurance obligations at Clause 23) 

  
 22 









	24.2	Any dispute as to the amount or duration of such suspension of Principal Rent and Service Charge will be referred to arbitration under the Arbitration Act in force at that time. The arbitrator is to be appointed
(failing agreement between the parties) by or on behalf of the then President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors on the application of either party. 


 

	25	OPTIONS TO END THE TENANCY 

  

	25.1	If the Building is destroyed or damaged by an Insured Risk and the Property has not been reinstated and made accessible by the date seven months before the end of the period for which the Landlord has taken out
Insurance against Loss of Rent, then the Tenancy may be ended by the Landlord or the Tenant giving to the other (but only before completion of such reinstatement) at least six months’ written notice. This notice must end on or after the expiry
of the period for which the Landlord has taken out Insurance against Loss of Rent. 

  

	25.2	If the Property is reinstated and made accessible by the date any notice served by the Tenant under clause 25.1 expires, the Tenancy will not end. 


 

	25.3	If the Tenant still owes any money due to the Landlord under clause 26 by the date any notice served by the Tenant under clause 25.1 expires, then (unless the Landlord waives the operation of this clause 25.3 by giving
written notice to the Tenant before that date) the Tenancy will not end. 

  

	25.4	If the Tenancy is ended under this clause: 

  

	 	(a)	it will be without prejudice to any outstanding liabilities of any party to any other party;

	 	(b)	a fair share of all premiums (at reasonably competitive rates) and other expenses (including valuation fees) reasonably incurred by the Landlord in placing and keeping in force other Insurance, such share to be decided
by the Landlord and as far as practicable (subject to any special weightings applicable to the Property) to represent the proportion that the floor area of the Property bears to the total floor area from time to time of all Units; 


 

	 	(c)	a fair and reasonable proportion of any tax charged on the Insurance premiums;

	 	(b)	comply with the insurer’s requirements and recommendations relating to the Property of which the Tenant is or should reasonable be aware;

	 	(a)	a condition of the policy; or 

  

	 	(b)	the imposition by the insurer or the reasonable acceptance by the Landlord of an obligation to bear part of an insured loss (commonly called an excess). 


 

	26.6	The Tenant will not take out any insurance equivalent to the Insurance. If it does so in breach of this covenant, it will pay the Landlord all money received under that insurance. 


 

	26.7	If the Landlord has served a Rebuilding Notice under clause 27.2, the Tenant will immediately on demand pay the Landlord a fair share (decided as set out in clause 26.1) of an amount equal to what would have been

 24 









	27.4	With effect from the date of the damage or destruction by the Uninsured Damage so that the Property is wholly or partially unfit for occupation and use or inaccessible, clause 24 will apply to the relevant Uninsured
Damage as if the words “to the extent only that such loss of Principal Rent and Service Charge is recoverable under Insurance against Loss of Rent” were deleted. 


 

	27.5	The Landlord may give the Tenant notice to end the Tenancy (a “Landlord’s Frustration Notice”) if, at any time after giving a Rebuilding Notice, reinstatement of the Uninsured Damage to the premises
referred to in the Rebuilding Notice or any other part or parts of the Building is made impossible by causes beyond the Landlord’s control. 

  

	27.6	At any time during the period starting 12 months after the date the Property suffers Uninsured Damage so that the Property is wholly or partially unfit for occupation and use or inaccessible and ending 18 months after

other party but the Tenant will not be liable to repair the Property as a result of the damage by the Uninsured Damage. 

  

	27.8	If the Landlord gives a Rebuilding Notice but the Property is not fit for occupation and use and accessible within three years of the date of the Rebuilding Notice, the Tenant may give the Landlord at least three
months’ notice to end the Tenancy. 

  

	27.9	On expiry of the notice referred to in clause 27.8, the Tenancy will end. This will not affect any outstanding liabilities of any party to any other party unless the Property has been made fit for occupation and use and
accessible before the expiry of the notice. In this case, the notice will have no effect. 

  

	27.10	If the Tenancy ends under this clause 27, the Landlord will be entitled to keep all insurance money received or receivable under any Insurance policies for its own benefit. 


 

	27.11	Any dispute as to whether damage is Uninsured Damage will be referred to arbitration under the Arbitration Act then in force. The arbitrator will be appointed (failing agreement between the parties) by or on behalf of

	 	(a)	for the period from and including the Term Start Date to and including the 31 March 2013 (the “First Account Period”) to a maximum of £XXXXXX per annum (the “Base Figure”) exclusive of VAT to
be apportioned on a pro rata daily basis;

		 	Base Figure x A
		 	            B

 where “A” = the Index figure last published before the date of each respective anniversary of the
Term Start Date 
 and “B” =the Index figure last published before the Term Start Date EXCEPT where A is less than B then the
