THE RAG FACTORY STUDIO LICENCE AGREEMENT 2015 v2 – PAGE 8 OF 13 PAGES

form of assignment by the Hirer of the Hirer’s obligations under this Agreement to such other third party nor shall it excuse the Hirer from the Hirer’s personal obligations to the Licensor under this Agreement.

13.2 The Licensor may without restriction assign the benefit of this Agreement or all or any of its rights or obligations hereunder. If the Licensor wishes to assign both the benefit and the burden of this Agreement to a willing assignee and if further the Licensor is prohibited or frustrated from so doing:

(A) the Hirer irrevocably agrees that the Agreement in whole shall be transferable at the Licensor’s sole option to a successor in title of the Licensor’s premises;

(B) where novation is necessary to effect the Licensor’s intended assignment in whole of the Agreement the Hirer hereby grants to the Licensor and his assignee the irrevocable right to enter into such an arrangement on the Hirer’s behalf so as to effect the intended transfer of undertakings;

(C) the Hirer hereby agrees that (A) and (B) above are valuable benefits to the Licensor of this Agreement for which the other benefits conferred upon the Hirer by this Agreement constitute reasonable consideration;

(D) the Hirer hereby also agrees that (A) and (B) above are benefits themselves capable of assignment such that the Licensor’s assignee may take such steps as may be necessary to effect the Licensor’s intended transfer;

(E) notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge that an assignment by the Licensor of the benefit of this Agreement if made prior to the start of or during the Licence Period shall be the assignment of a benefit which is conditional upon the Licensor’s assignee discharging or being capable of discharging the Licensor’s responsibilities in all material respects and that further the Hirer expressly grants to the Licensor a right of substitution sufficient to permit the Licensor’s obligations under this Agreement to be discharged by another who is able to provide the Hirer with the use of the same Venue under the same terms as the Licensor would have done;

(F) notwithstanding the foregoing the Licensor shall at any time freely and irrevocably transfer as a whole all rights and responsibilities benefits and obligations of this Agreement to a third party who is the successor or assignee of the Licensor’s title in the premises containing the Venue;

(G) such rights as the foregoing (A) to (F) shall confer upon the Licensor and upon his assignee shall be persist after assignment so that the Licensor’s assignee may in turn make an assignment as if he was the Licensor.

13.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof shall apply to this Agreement insofar as it confers rights upon a successor or assignee of the Licensor’s leasehold title in the premises containing the Venue but said Act shall not apply for the benefit of the Hirer.

14. Payment of Fees

14.1 The Hirer must make payment to the Licensor in accordance with the Licensor’s invoice or as otherwise directed by the Licensor in writing. If no such invoice has been issued or agreement made the Hirer must make payment to the Licensor according to the following standard schedule:

(A) an Advance Payment being 20% of the Fee within 5 Banking Days following the making of the Hirer’s booking; and

(B) the remainder of the Fee no less than 10 Banking Days prior to the first day of the License Period.

14.2 The Licensor will from time-to-time nominate a bank account into which payments may be made. Unless the Licensor has otherwise agreed in writing a payment to the Licensor by the Hirer will only have been made if:

THE RAG FACTORY STUDIO LICENCE AGREEMENT 2015 v2 – PAGE 9 OF 13 PAGES

(A) it has been received by electronic transfer of cleared funds into the bank account most recently nominated in writing by the Licensor to the Hirer provided that such nomination shall have occurred no less than 5 banking days prior to the date of any purported payment; or

(B) it has been received by the Licensor in cash and the Licensor has accepted the cash in accordance with the provisions elsewhere in this Agreement and a receipt has been issued by the Licensor;

and in all cases only where it has been paid in Pounds Sterling. It is the responsibility of the Hirer to obtain the correct bank account details from the Licensor in good time to ensure that payment is received promptly by the Licensor. For the avoidance of doubt the Licensor will not accept any other forms of payment whatsoever unless agreed in writing by the Licensor. At the Licensor’s sole discretion receipts may be issued either by electronic means of the Licensor’s choice or in paper form and each form shall be equally as valid as the other so long as the paper form has been signed by the Licensor.

14.3 Where a Hirer wishes to pay by cash the following shall apply in all cases:

(A) the Licensor shall be free to specify the reasonable denominations and quantities of cash which the Licensor will accept from the Hirer;

(B) the Licensor may at his sole discretion reject or refuse to accept any note coin or token purporting to be currency because in his sole opinion it is counterfeit or damaged or defaced or for any other reason whatsoever;

(C) the Licensor and the Hirer shall at all times be governed by prevailing statutes including but not limited to regulations governing the laundering of money and the Hirer agrees to provide the Licensor with whatsoever information documentation identification information or other things that the Licensor may reasonably require in order to satisfy himself that he is able to comply with prevailing statutes or such information documentation identification information or other things that the Licensor may be compelled by statute to obtain whether otherwise reasonable or not.

14.4 Unless agreed in writing by the Licensor access to the Venue will not be granted unless the Fee has been paid in full in accordance with this Agreement. If access to the Venue is granted prior to receipt of the entirety of the Fee it shall at no time be considered as a waiver of the Licensor’s rights nor as an acceptance of any purported payment schedule or credit agreement. If access to the Venue is granted in such circumstances such access may be revoked at any time by the Licensor if the Fee has not yet been paid in full. For the avoidance of doubt if the Fee has been amended by the inclusion or amendment of any Damages Charge the new balance remaining shall be treated for the purposes of this clause 14 in the same way as any other outstanding part of the Fee.

14.5 Any failure by the Hirer to create or to deliver an invoice shall not of itself remove the Hirer’s obligation to pay the Fee in full in a timely manner. If no invoice has been received by the Hirer it is the Hirer’s responsibility to request that one be sent or re-sent.

14.6 The Licensor will transmit invoices electronically and will usually do so by attaching a Portable Document Format (PDF) attachment to an email message. The Hirer hereby acknowledges and accepts that invoices will not be provided by any other method and that the Licensor’s invoice as provided shall be sufficient to allow the Hirer to make payments to the Licensor as required in accordance with this Agreement.

15. Miscellaneous
