(3.) If for any reason the lessee does not duly elect in manner aforesaid to accept such new lease, or if, having duly elected, he for any reason does not execute such new lease when requested by the Commissioner so to do, his right to a new lease shall be and be deemed to be abandoned, and the land shall be disposed of by lease at such time, in such manner, and subject to such conditions not inconsistent with the said Act and the regulations for the time being in force thereunder as the Commissioner thinks fit: Provided that it shall be one of the conditions of the new lease that the new lessee pays to the Commissioner the amount at which the improvements (if then existing) have been valued as aforesaid, or such less amount as the Commissioner thinks just, having regard to the extent to which such improvements have deteriorated since the date of the original valuation; and all moneys actually received by the Commissioner in respect of such valuation shall be paid over to the lessee under this present lease, or a renewal thereof, as soon as the Commissioner is satisfied that the new lessee has been admitted into full and quiet possession of the premises: Provided further that in no case shall the lessee have any claim against the Crown or the Commissioner in respect of any such improvements, or of the value thereof, save to the extent of the moneys which are actually received as aforesaid from the new lessee, and available for payment, and which the lessee under this present lease becomes actually entitled to.

In witness whereof these presents have been executed by or on behalf of the parties hereto, the day and year first above written.
