4.5. Procedure to Determine Current Rent

 

     4.5.1. The Lessor may at any time within a period commencing 60 days prior

            to each Market Review Date or any time thereafter give written

            notice to the Lessee of the amount which the Lessor considers to be

            the Current Rent of the Premises at the relevant Market Review Date

            having regard to all matters then relevant to the determination of

            such rent ("the Lessor's rent notice").

 

     4.5.2. Unless the Lessee advises the Lessor in writing within 28 days after

            receiving the Lessor's rent notice that the Lessee disputes the

            Current Rent amount so notified then the amount so notified will be

            the Current Rent as at the "relevant Market Review Date" for the

            purposes of paragraph 4.4.2.2.

 

     4.5.3. If:

 

            4.5.3.1. within 28 day of receiving the Lessor's rent notice the

                     Rent; and

                     Current Rent within 42 days after the Lessor gives the

            4.5.3.3. two qualified valuers, one appointed by each of the parties

                     (or in the event of failure by one of the parties to so

                     appoint a valuer within 7 days of being requested to do so

                     in writing - then the valuer selected by the other party);

                     or

 

            4.5.3.4. if the firstmentioned valuers appointed under paragraph

                     4.5.3.3 fail to jointly determine the Current Rent within 1

                     month of their appointment then by a qualified valuer

                     having at least 5 years experience to the date of his or

                     her appointment of valuing premises similar to the Premises

                     appointed by the President for the State of New South Wales

                     or other principal officer for the time being of the

                     Australian Property Institute. Each valuer acting under

                     this subclause 4.5.3 acts as an expert and not as an

                     arbitrator and the decision of the valuer(s) (including any

                     decision as to the costs of such determination) is final

                     and binding on the parties to this Lease.

 

     4.5.4. Pending the ascertainment of the amount of the Current Rent at the

            relevant Market Review Date, the Lessee must pay rent at the rate of

            the Minimum Rent payable immediately before the relevant Market

            Review Date. Upon determination of the Current Rent at the relevant

            Market Review Date, the Lessee must pay to the Lessor the difference

            between the interim amount so paid and the sum determined pursuant

            to clauses paragraph 4.4.2 and this clause 4.5

 

     4.5.5. .If the Lessee does not pay the amount of the difference to the

            Lessor within 14 days after being requested to do so, the Lessee

            must also pay to the Lessor interest on the amount of the difference

            at the Agreed Rate and calculated for the period from the relevant

            Market Review Date to the date of full payment, both days included.

 

4.6. Interest on Overdue Rent or Other Moneys

 

     If any rent or other moneys payable by the Lessee under this Lease remain

     unpaid for 7 days after the due date, then the Lessee shall pay to the

     Lessor interest on that money at the Agreed Rate and the Lessor will be

     entitled to recover that money and/or that interest as if it is rent in

     arrears.

 

4.7. Other expenses of the Lessee

 

     4.7.1. The Lessee must pay to the Lessor within 14 days of being requested

            to do so all expenses of the Lessor directly referrable to a request

            from the Lessee at the rate from time to time reasonably charged by

            the Lessor.

 

     4.7.2. After hours air-conditioning expenses will be properly and

            reasonably charged for use of air-conditioning outside the period

      of this Lease without being limited to the Bank Guarantee and the

      application by the Lessor of the Bank Guarantee or receipt of money under

      the Bank Guarantee is without prejudice to any other right or remedy

      available to the Lessor in respect of this Lease.

 

14.4. If at any time during the term of this Lease the Lessor appropriates any

      part of the Bank Guarantee, the Lessee must replace or reinstate the Bank

      Guarantee immediately following a request by the Lessor to do so to the

      extent of the amount called on or appropriated.

 

14.5. Despite the actual wording of any bank undertaking, the Lessor may call on

      that undertaking for any money payable to the Lessor by the Lessee under

      this Lease.

      Lessee's expense.

 

14.7. If any of the Bank Guarantee or any guarantee or other security held by

      the Lessor as security for the Lessee's obligations under this Lease

      lapses, becomes void or ceases to have full value to the Lessor for any

      reason, the Lessee must immediately provide the Lessor with a Bank

      Guarantee, guarantee or other security acceptable to the Lessor.

 

15. Goods and Services Tax

 

15.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease,

      any amount payable for a supply made under this Lease which is calculated

      by reference to a cost, expense or other amount paid or incurred by a

      party to this Lease will be reduced by an amount equal to any input tax

      credits to which that party is entitled to in respect of that cost,

      expense or other amount.

 

15.2. If the Lessor makes a supply under or in connection with this Lease, any

      amount payable for that supply will be reduced by an amount representing

      the reduction in the costs of the Lessor in making that supply resulting

      from the abolition or reduction in any tax (other than income tax), duty,

      excise or other impost associated with the introduction of the GST, as

      calculated by the Lessor in accordance with the provisions of Part VB of

      the Trade Practices Act 1974 and relevant ACCC guidelines where

      applicable.

 

15.3. If GST becomes payable by a party ("Supplier") on any supply it makes

      under this Lease:

 

      15.3.1.  any amount payable or consideration to be provided under this

               Lease for that supply (as reduced in accordance with clauses 15.1

               and 15.2 where applicable)

 

                                      27

 

                ("Agreed Amount") is exclusive of GST;

 

       15.3.2.  an additional amount will be payable by the party providing

                consideration for that supply ("the Recipient"), equal to the

                amount of GST payable on that supply as calculated by the

                Supplier in accordance with the GST law and payable at the same

                time and in the same manner as for the Agreed Amount; and

 

       15.3.3.  the Supplier will provide a tax invoice (or equivalent

                documentation which complies with the GST law) to the Recipient

                in respect of that supply, no later than the time at which the

                Agreed Amount for that supply is to be provided under this

                Lease.

 

15.4.  If, for any reason, the GST payable by the Supplier in respect of a

       supply it makes under this Lease (incorporating any increasing

       adjustments or decreasing adjustments relating to that supply) varies

       from the additional amount it receives from the Recipient under paragraph

       15.3 in respect of that supply, the Supplier will provide a refund or

       credit to or will be entitled to receive the amount of this variation

       from the Recipient (as appropriate). Where an adjustment event occurs in

       relation to a supply, the Supplier will issue an adjustment note to the

       Recipient in respect of that supply within 14 days after becoming aware

       of that adjustment event occurring.

 

15.5.  "GST", "GST law" and other terms used in this clause 15 have any meanings

       used in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (as

       amended from time to time) or any replacement or other relevant

       legislation and regulations, except "GST law" also includes any

       applicable rulings. Any reference to GST payable by the Supplier includes

       any GST payable by the representative member of any GST group of which

       the Supplier is a member.
