2.4.1 the Project Delivery Group as often as is reasonably required by the Project Delivery Group;

and

Capital Expenditure.

3 Rehousing Process

3.1 The Rehousinq Report shall be used by the Buyer, the Council and the Project Delivery Group to inform the Parties’ decisions about the Replacement Homes Proposal and the practical decanting whether before or after a CPO is confirmed, together with the CPO

6.1 .3 Any number of VP Requirement Notices can be served in relation to a Phase save that the Buyer shall not be permitted to serve a VP Requirement Notice in relation to part or all of a Phase where, to do so, would mean that, by virtue of previous VP Requirement Notices served, the Council would, at any one time, be decanting more than 200 Existing Homes in a

7 month period.

and 7.3.7 of this Part of this Schedule

7.3.5 If a VP Abandonment Event occurs and if required by the Buyer, the Parties shall endeavour to agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) such modifications to the Demolition Phase and other relevant matters as may be fair and reasonable so that parts of the relevant Demolition Phase may be transferred to the Buyer (including subject to any outstanding Third Party Interests (which, unless the Council otherwise agrees, shall not comprise a dwelling or dwellings which are occupied) as the Buyer may agree but without prejudice to the remaining provisions of this paragraph) and the arrangements in this Agreement can continue in relation to the Demolition Phase notwithstanding that the VP Abandonment Test is not satisfied in relation to the relevant Third Party Interest(s) and following agreement such arrangements shall be implemented provided that such modifications and arrangements shall ensure that where in respect of any part of the Demolition Phase that is not to be transferred to the Buyer under such arrangements the relevant Third Party Interest(s) in such parts of the Demolition Phase comprise a dwelling or dwellings which are occupied, criteria (a) and (b) the PPDN Criteria will be met in respect of such Third Party Interest(s) so that the PPDN Criteria will continue to be met in respect of that

LIQUIDATED AND ASCERTAINED DAMAGES

Time Critic-a! Items

1.1 If, in respect of a CPO (except a CPO made in respect of the interest and rights specified in paragraph (c) of the defined term "CPO"), the Council fails to achieve completion of one or more of the Time Critical Items by the relevant Time Critical Item Completion Period or Date, the Council shall pay and/or allow LADS to the Buyer in accordance with this Part 2.

1.2 The period in respect of which the Council would otherwise be liable to pay and/or allow LADS in relation to a CPO in accordance with this Part 2 as a consequence of any of Time

Critical Items numbered "1", "2" or "3" in Appendix 1 below not being complete within its respective Time Critical Item Completion Period shall be reduced by the equivalent period (if any) by which any Time Critical Item "4" or "5" (but not "6" or 7") in Appendix 1 below in relation to that CPO is completed prior to the expiry of its respective Time Critical Item

Completion Period (an "Item 1, 2 or 3 Time Saving Period") provided that any Item 1, 2, or 3

Time Saving Period shall only apply once in reducing the period in respect of which the Council would otherwise have been liable for LADS in relation to not having completed Time

Critical Items "4" or "5" in Appendix 1 below.

1.3 Insofar as the Council is, in relation to a CPO, unable to complete a Time Critical Item within its respective Time Critical Item Completion Period by reason of any impediment, prevention or default of the Buyer, then such Time Critical Item Completion Period shall be extended by

such period as is fair and reasonable as a result thereof.

1.4 If a VP Requirement Notice in respect of that CPO is issued by the Buyer prior to the occurrence of Time Critical Item numbered "Sin Appendix 1, the Council shall have no liability to the Buyer for LADS in relation to any failure to complete Time Critical Item numbered "Sin Appendix 1 within its Time Critical Item Completion Period in respect of that

CPO.

1.5 Without prejudice to paragraph 1.3 above, the Time Critical Item Completion Period for the Time Critical Item numbered "6" in Appendix I below for a CPO will be extended if the Council is prevented from achieving completion of such Time Critical Item within such Time Critical Item Completion Period by the Independent Certifier’s Habitable Certificate(s) not having been issued for all the relevant Replacement Homes. In such circumstances, such Time Critical Item Completion Period will expire 3 months after the date upon which the Independent Certifier’s Habitable Certificate has been issued for all the relevant Replacement

Homes.

Schedule 6

Demolition Phase in respect of which the VP Requirement Notice has been served shall be used in calculating any liability of the Council for LADS pursuant to paragraph 2.1 below.

Council’s Liability for LADS

2.1 Subject to the limitation set out in paragraph 3 below, if in respect of any Demolition Phase (or any part thereof) the Council fails to achieve completion of a Time Critical Item within the relevant Time Critical Item Completion Period (or date) then the Council will pay or allow LADS to the Buyer at the rate of £0.50 (Indexed) multiplied by the GEA (expressed in square feet) of the development permitted to be carried out on the relevant Demolition Phase by the Satisfactory Main Site Planning Permission (or if greater, the Satisfactory Scheme Overage Planning Permission) for each week (or part thereof) that elapses between the date of expiry of the relevant Time Critical Item Completion Period (or date) and the date on which the relevant Time Critical Item is completed (or any earlier Termination of this Agreement pursuant to paragraph 4.2.1 of Schedule 16).

2.2 In respect of any LADS to which the Buyer is entitled pursuant to this Part 2, the Buyer may withhold, deduct or set-off such LADS from any Advance Payment (or any other sums) which are due or which may become due for payment by the Buyer to the Council under this Agreement. Further or alternatively at the Buyer’s discretion, insofar as any such LADS have not been so withheld, deducted or set-off by the Buyer, the Buyer may recover the balance of any such LADS from the Council as a debt, and such debt shall be payable by the Council within twenty (20) Working Days of the Buyer’s written demand.

2.3 The Buyer shall repay or allow to the Council any LADS paid or allowed by the Council which the Buyer is no longer entitled to receive as a result of the Council subsequently becoming entitled to any relief from LADS pursuant to this Agreement (including as a result of it being agreed or determined that the Council is entitled to an extension to any Time Critical Item Completion Period or date) within twenty (20) Working Days of the Council’s written demand for the same.

Limitations on Liability for LADS

3.1 Until the Expiry or earlier Termination of this Agreement the Council shall not be liable to discharge any LADS for which it would otherwise be liable to pursuant to this Part 2 which are in excess of the unutilised balance of the LADS Cap calculated in accordance with paragraph 3.2.

3.2 For the purposes of paragraph 3.1, the unutilised balance of the LADS Cap shall be £10,000,000 Indexed as at the date upon which the relevant LADS accrue to the Buyer less any amount previously paid by the Council pursuant to this Part 2 in respect of LADS or by way of damages for any breach of the terms of clauses 2.1 to 2.11 (inclusive).

3.3 In addition to the provisions of paragraph 3.1 above, the Council’s aggregate liability for LADS in respect of any one calendar week (or part thereof) shall be limited to £50,000 (Indexed).

3.4 References to amounts expressed to be "Indexed" in relation to this part of this Schedule means that the relevant amount is adjusted (but not so as to fall below the figures detailed in paragraphs 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2) in line with the movement in the RPI which movement shall be calculated by taking the RPI figure for the month preceding the date of this Agreement and the RPI Index figure for the month preceding the date upon which the relevant amount commences to accrue.

Schedule 6

4 General

4.1 The Parties acknowledge and agree:

4.1 .1 that the amount and enforceability of LADS provided for in this Part 2 has been carefully negotiated between the Council and the Buyer and represents a liability which the Council

willingly undertakes in order to compensate the Buyer:

(a) for vacant possession of the Option Land within a Demolition Phase not having been given to the Buyer by the VP Date for that Demolition Phase; and

(b) as a result of a delay in the process prior to the setting of the VP Date (which will have ultimately delayed securing vacant possession) by way of a failure of the Council to complete a Time Critical item within the Time Critical Item Completion

Period;

4.1.2 that both the Council and the Buyer have equal bargaining power, possess extensive commercial experience and expertise and are being advised by their own legal accounting, technical, financial, economic and other commercial professionals in relation to their rights

and obligations;

4.1 .3 that the Council entered into this obligation to pay or allow such LADS with the intention that it is a legally binding, valid and enforceable contractual provision against the Council in accordance with its terms and without any duress, coercion, undue influence or any other form of unconscionable conduct or impermissible or objectionable persuasion on the part of

the Buyer; and

4.1 .4 to exclude and expressly waive any right which may otherwise arise from or in connection with the characterisation of any LADS which it may become so liable to pay or allow as a

penalty,

4.2 Further, the Council agrees that any such LADS which the Council may become liable to pay or allow are not a penalty but rather a genuine pre-estimate of the loss which the Buyer will suffer as a result of vacant possession of the Option Land within a Demolition Phase not having been given to the Buyer by the VP Date for that Demolition Phase.

4.3 If the right of the Buyer to recover such LADS is held to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, such that the Buyer is unable to recover any amounts to which the Buyer would have otherwise been entitled, the Parties acknowledge that the Buyer shall be entitled to recover the Losses suffered or incurred by the Buyer as a result of:

4.3.1 vacant possession of the Option Land within a Demolition Phase not having been provided to the Buyer by the VP Date for that Demolition Phase and

4.3.2 as a result of a delay in the process prior to the setting of the VP Date by way of a failure of the Council to complete a Time Critical item within the Time Critical Item Completion Period or date, provided that the Buyer shall not be entitled to recover an amount which would exceed the relevant LADS otherwise payable had the same not been held to be unenforceable.

4.4 The payment or allowance by the Council of LADS shall not relieve the Council of any other of

its duties, liabilities or obligations.

4.5 The LADS are to compensate the Buyer for delays in transferring a Demolition Phase by the VP Date and save as provided in paragraph 4.6 no other damages shall be payable for such

Schedule 6

delay but the other rights and remedies of the Buyer shall not be prejudiced including (without limitation) specific performance.

4.6 Where this Agreement is Terminated or Expires and the Council is in breach of any of its obligations the Buyer shall be entitled to pursue such remedies as the Buyer may decide (including damages) without any limitation save that, without prejudice to any liability under or pursuant to this Part 2 which has accrued prior to such Termination or Expiry, in relation to the payment of damages the provisions of Schedule 16 shall apply.

4.7 The Council acknowledges and agrees that, where a delay in achieving the Time Critical Item numbered "5" in Appendix 1 below in relation to a Demolition Phase is caused by an event referred to in paragraph 5.13.4 of Part 1 of Schedule 6, the Council shall continue to progress securing vacant possession of that Demolition Phase, save for those properties affected by events, whilst the relevant challenge is being progressed.
