Early termination is taken to include the right of the Landlord to dissolve the lease contract without notice of default being required, with immediate effect, in the event that the Landlord deems circumstances to be such as to seriously impede or jeopardise its potential for recovery against the Tenant, without prejudice to the right of the Land lord to demand fulfilment and/or damages from the Tenant. Said circumstances shall include a petition for suspension of payments or liquidation by the Tenant or in the event that the Tenant, in whatsoever manner, loses control of all or part of its capital. In the event of the dissolution of the Tenant on the basis of the aforesaid, the remaining rent instalments and compensation of the Tenant-specific investments shall be due and payable forthwith: the period of the lease shall terminate at the moment of dissolution. Damages due by the Tenant to the Landlord at any given time shall be due forthwith, and in the case of dissolution by the Landlord, shall in any event be equal to the amount of all remaining rent instalments and compensation of the Tenant-specific investments which would have been due had the contract taken its normal course.
8.5 | The premises will be handed over, including the Tenant-specific installations as in article 1.1., together with the current floor and lighting fixtures. No rights can be derived from this. The aforesaid remain the property of the Landlord. The Tenant is responsible for normal use and maintenance. Where the Tenant is of the opinion that a given item/items is/are due for replacement, the costs shall be for its (the Tenant's) account. The prior written approval of the Landlord is required for replacements. |
8.6 | This contract is governed by Dutch law. |
