The Surety will procure the punctual payment of the Rents and the observance and performance of all the obligations of the Tenant under this Underlease and in the case of any default the Surety will on demand pay such Rents and observe and perform such obligations as if the Surety instead of the Tenant were liable therefor as a principal obligor and not merely as a surety

 

2.                                       The Surety agrees with the Landlord as a primary obligation to keep the Landlord indemnified on demand against all actions proceedings claims demands losses costs expenses damages and liability arising directly or indirectly from any failure by the Tenant to pay the Rents and/or observe and perform such obligations or as a result of any obligation of the Tenant under this Underlease being or becoming unenforceable

 

3.                                       If the liability of the Tenant is disclaimed by or on behalf of the Tenant or this Underlease is forfeited or the Tenant is wound up or ceases to exist the Surety will (if so required by the Landlord by written notice to the Surety within six months after such disclaimer or forfeiture or winding up or cessation of existence) take from the Landlord and execute and deliver to the Landlord a counterpart of a new underlease of the Premises for the residue of the Term unexpired at the date of such disclaimer or forfeiture or winding up or cessation of existence at the same Rents as are reserved from time to time by and subject to the same covenants and provisions as are contained in this Underlease (mutatis mutandis) and the Surety will on demand pay the Landlord’s proper legal costs in connection with such underlease

 

4.                                       If on the commencement date of the new underlease of the Premises granted pursuant to paragraph 3 of this part of this schedule a Review Date has occurred but the Rental Value (as defined in schedule 5) has not been agreed or determined then the rent first reserved by such new underlease will initially be equal to the Yearly Rent payable under this Underlease immediately prior to such Review Date but the second day of the term of such new underlease will be an additional Review Date

 

5.                                       Without prejudice to any other rights the Landlord may have against the Surety under this Lease or at common law if the Landlord does not require the Surety to take a new lease of the Premises pursuant to paragraph 3 of this part of this schedule the Surety will nevertheless on demand pay to the Landlord a sum equal to the Rents that would have been payable but for the disclaimer or forfeiture or winding up or cessation of existence during the period of six months from and including the date of the disclaimer or forfeiture or winding up or cessation of existence less any Rents received by the Landlord during such period from reletting the Premises

 

6.                                       The insolvency of the Tenant will not affect the liability of the Surety under this Underlease and any money received or recovered by the Landlord from the Surety may be placed in a separate or suspense account by the Landlord without any obligation on the Landlord to apply it in or towards the discharge of the Tenant’s obligations under this Underlease so as to preserve the Landlord’s right to prove in any insolvency of the Tenant in respect of the whole of the Tenant’s indebtedness to the Landlord under this Underlease

 

7.                                       If any claim is made against the Surety by the Landlord in relation to the obligations of the Surety under this Underlease the Surety will not make any claim against the Tenant for an indemnity if the Tenant becomes the subject of any voluntary arrangement (whether under Part I of the Insolvency Act 1986 or otherwise)

 

30

 

8.

9.                                       The obligations of the Surety under this Underlease are in addition to any other right or remedy of the Landlord and will not be discharged diminished or in any way affected by:-

 

9.1                                 any time or indulgence granted by the Landlord to the Tenant or any neglect or forbearance of the Landlord in obtaining payment of the Rents or enforcing the obligations of the Tenant under this Underlease or

 

9.2                                 any refusal by the Landlord to accept Rents tendered at a time when the Landlord was entitled (or would after service of the appropriate statutory notice have been entitled) to re-enter the Premises or

 

9.3                                 any surrender by the Tenant of part of the Premises in which event the liability of the Surety will continue in respect of the part of the Premises not so surrendered after making any necessary apportionments under section 140 of the Law of Property Act 1925

 

10.                                 Any provision of this part of this schedule rendered void or unenforceable by the 1995 Act is to be severed from all remaining provisions which are to be preserved
