When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero.

You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
