2.3.4

shall not:

 

(A)

claim in competition with the Landlord in any proceedings or any type of arrangement in connection with the Assignee's insolvency; or

 

(B)

2.3.5

warrants that it has not taken and agrees that it will not take any security over the Assignee's assets for any liability owed to the Existing Tenant (and, if, notwithstanding, the Existing Tenant does receive any such security, it shall hold the security on trust for the Landlord until the Existing Tenant’s obligations under this clause are fully performed).

2.4

Disclaimer, etc.

 

2.4.1

If the Assignee's liability under the Lease is disclaimed, the Landlord may require the Existing Tenant to accept (and, if so, the Existing Tenant will accept) a new lease of the Premises on and giving effect to the same terms, and containing the same agreements, as the Lease except this clause (and, where any such term applies as at a particular date or period, as at the same date or period), and as the terms had effect immediately before the disclaimer such that the obligations of the new lease are no more onerous than the Tenant’s obligations, subject as provided in clause 2.4.2.

(A)

the Landlord's requirement must be notified to the Existing Tenant within six months after the date of the Landlord's receipt of notice of the disclaimer;

 

(B)

the new lease shall:

 

(1)

be granted in all respects at the Existing Tenant’s cost;

 

(2)

be completed within four weeks after the date when the Landlord notifies the requirement to the Existing Tenant; and

 

(3)

take effect from the date of disclaimer, subject to any third party rights of vesting and possession; and

 

(C)

the contractual term of the new lease shall expire when the Term would have expired but for the disclaimer.

 

2.4.3

In the event that the Landlord shall not require the Existing Tenant to take up a new lease of the Premises following the disclaimer of the Lease then the Tenant will continue to pay to the Landlord the rents reserved by the Lease for a period of six months from the date of disclaimer or until the date the Premises are re-let, whichever first occurs.

or any combination of any such matters and, subject as provided In section 18 of the 1995 Act, the Existing Tenant's Guarantor's obligations in connection with the Authorised Guarantee Agreement are not released by, but shall be construed so as to require compliance (through the Authorised Guarantee Agreement) with, the terms of any consent or approval by the Landlord or of any variation or waiver of any of the Tenant's obligations and the Existing Tenant's Guarantor shall, if the Landlord requests, join in any such consent, approval, variation or waiver in order to acknowledge and confirm that requirement.

3.4

Disclaimer, etc.

 

3.4.1

If a new lease is to be granted to the Existing Tenant pursuant to clause 2.4, the Existing Tenant’s Guarantor shall be a party to it in order to guarantee compliance with the Existing Tenant's obligations under it and to accept a further lease following any disclaimer or forfeiture by or against the Existing Tenant as tenant of the new lease.

 

3.4.2
