the Property and in a similar location who shall be previously agreed upon between the Landlord and the Tenant or (in the absence of such agreement prior to the date three months before the relevant Review Date) nominated on the application of

to the date on which payment is due. 

  

	3.7	Within twenty-eight days of the Open Market Rent being agreed or determined a memorandum recording the increased Annual Rent (or the fact that there is no increase)
shall be executed by the parties and attached to this Lease and the Counterpart (each party bearing their own costs in respect thereof) but that memorandum shall be regarded as evidential only and its absence shall not affect the liability of the
Tenant to pay any increased Annual Rent. 

  

	3.8	Time is not of the essence in this schedule. 

  

	3.9	For the purpose of paragraphs 3.6 and 3.7, where the Open Market Rent is determined by the Rent Review Surveyor, it shall be deemed to have been determined on the date
of the Rent Review Surveyor’s award or determination.

meaning Learning Tree International Limited only) vacates the Building (but for the avoidance of doubt the Cap shall not apply to the costs of any electricity or gas incurred in relation to the Services) and for each subsequent Service Charge Period
or pro-rata part thereof shall not exceed the sum produced by the following formula: 

  

			
	A - B

(apportioned pro-rata in respect of the Service Charge Period current at the date of this Lease and for the Service Charge Period in which the Landlord vacates). 
 If the Retail Price Index shall cease to be published or its base shall be changed or for any reason it is impossible or impracticable to implement the provisions of paragraph 7.1 there shall be
substituted such other provisions for limiting any increase in the Service Charge for such years (being as equivalent as may be to the provisions of paragraph 7.1) as shall be agreed and in default of agreement shall be determined by an arbitrator
