2.2.1You must use the Premises only for the Permitted Use. If you want to change the Permitted Use, you must first get approval from us and the Authorities. You must also get, maintain and keep to all necessary approvals which you need by Law to carry out your business at the Premises. To avoid any doubt, you must also carry out your own checks on the Premises as we will not be responsible for making sure the Premises are suitable for the Permitted Use.

2.2.2If the Premises are a property where the Urban Redevelopment Authority's 60:40 rules apply, you must make sure that at least 60% of the Floor Area is used for industrial activity, and no more than 40% of the Floor Area is used for such ancillary (that is, supporting) purposes to the Permitted Use as we, the Urban Redevelopment Authority or any other relevant Authority may approve. You must also provide us with the filled-in and signed declaration form as set out in schedule 6 upon signing this Lease. If you fail to do so, we may give you two weeks' notice to submit such form. If you have still not provided the filled-in and signed declaration form by the end of the two weeks' notice, we may immediately end this Lease and, if you have taken possession of the Premises, you must carry out the Reinstatement Works to keep to clause 4.3.1. You will forfeit (that is, give up the right to claim) any money or deposits you have paid to us under this Lease, you must pay us any costs and expenses we have to pay, and you will not have any claim against us for any Losses which you may suffer due to us ending this Lease.

2.3Head Landlord's and Authorities' approvals

2.3.1If the Premises are a property under the control of JTC, you must:

(a)first get the relevant approvals (including any anchor tenant approval) from JTC and the Authorities to use the Premises before we give the lease of the Premises to you; and

(b)give us any relevant information and documents we ask for, including the items set out in schedule 7, at least 14 days before the Possession Date or Start Date, whichever is earlier. To avoid any doubt, you must pay any costs that apply, including any subletting fees or other fees we must pay or have paid to the Head Landlord or Authorities. You must also pay any fees and other charges charged by the Head Landlord or Authorities for not meeting this condition due to your delay or failure to give us any relevant information or documents.

2.3.2If you do not have all the approvals as required under clause 2.3.1, we may give you notice that this Lease will be considered as null and void (that is, in a state as if this Lease never existed), except that you must reinstate the Premises in line with this Lease and you must pay all Gross Rent, Utilities Charges and other charges due from the Possession Date or Start Date, whicheveris earlier, until the day you return the Premises to us (both dates included). You will not have any claim against us for any losses you suffer due to this Lease being considered as null and void.

We will refund the Electricity Supply Deposit without interest and after making any deductions that are allowed under this Lease, within 30 days after we have confirmed that there are no outstanding obligations under this Lease, including that you have paid all amounts that you owe us.

4.1.5.3The amount as set out in our invoices in clause 4.1.5.2 above will be final and binding (unless there is a clear and obvious mistake) and you must pay such amounts to us on the Payment Date.
