The Landlord shall pay directly to the appropriate and lawful taxing authorities all Taxes, subject
to Sections 3.02 and 3.04 hereof. The Landlord may contest any Taxes and appeal any assessments
with respect thereto, withdraw any such contest or appeal, and agree with the taxing authorities on
any settlement or compromise with respect to Taxes.
Section 3.02 – Tenant’s Share of Taxes
The Tenant shall pay the Landlord as Additional Rent a share of all Taxes which share be determined
as follows:
(a) | if the Leased Premises are separately assessed by the appropriate and lawful taxing authority in question (or, in lieu thereof, calculations are made by such authority from which a separate assessment therefor may, in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion, be readily determined) for the payment of Taxes on a basis which includes a valuation of an aliquot part of the Common Facilities reasonably attributable thereto, and the aggregate of such assessment together with all other corresponding assessments for the remainder of the rentable premises in the Building, equals the total assessment by such taxing authority of the Building and the Common Facilities reasonably attributable thereto, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord its share of Taxes based upon such separate assessment by multiplying an amount equal to such Taxes by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to such assessment of the Leased Premises and the denominator of which is the aggregate of all such assessments of rentable premises in the Building, including the Leased Premises; | ||
(b) | if the Leased Premises and the remainder of the rentable premises in the Building, are not respectively separately assessed, or calculations made by which the same may be readily determined, in each case as contemplated in subsection 3.02(a) above, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord its Proportionate Share of the Taxes assessed against the Building, including a portion of the Taxes attributable to the Common Facilities and allocated to the Building by the Landlord, the amounts of such assessment and allocation, if not determined by allocation or apportionment and identified as such to the Landlord by the appropriate and lawful taxing authority in question, shall be determined by allocation or apportionment by the Landlord from time to time on an equitable basis having regard, amongst other things, to general principles of assessment; and | ||
(c) | if the Tenant elects to be assessed as a separate school supporter, the Tenant will pay to the Landlord, in addition to any other amounts owing |
16
pursuant to this Section the excess, if any, of the separate school taxes over public school taxes resulting from such election. |

hereof and the Landlord shall have all of the rights or remedies provided in Article XIII in
respect thereof.
Section 3.05 – Tenant’s Responsibility
The Tenant shall promptly deliver to the Landlord on request, copies of assessment notices, tax
bills and other documents received by the Tenant relating to Taxes and Tenant’s Taxes and receipts
for payment of Taxes and Tenant’s Taxes. The Landlord hereby acknowledges that the Landlord is not
concerned with those of the Tenant’s Taxes relating to the Tenant’s personal property, furnishings,
business, income or occupancy to the extent that the non-payment thereof cannot result in a charge
against the Complex or the Leased Premises in favor of the authority levying the same (the
“Tenant’s Personal Taxes”) and hereby agrees that the Tenant’s obligations herein to deliver copies
of assessment notices, tax bills and other documents relating to Tenant’s Taxes shall not extend to
those relating only to Tenant’s Personal Taxes. The Tenant shall not contest any Taxes or Tenant’s
Taxes or appeal any assessments relating thereto without the Landlord’s prior written approval. If
the Tenant wishes to so appeal and the Tenant can demonstrate to the Landlord, acting reasonably,
that the Tenant has a prima facie case in respect thereof, the Landlord will approve the same and
co-operate and join in the Tenant’s contestation or appeal to the extent reasonably as required and
requested by the Tenant, and any reasonable cost of the Landlord in respect thereof shall be
payable forthwith by the Tenant upon the demand by the Landlord as an Additional Service Cost. If
the Tenant obtains such approval, the Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord such security for the
payment of such Taxes or Tenant’s Taxes as the Landlord deems advisable and the Tenant shall
diligently prosecute any such appeal or contestation to a speedy resolution and shall keep the
Landlord informed of its progress in that regard from time to time.

17
Section 3.07 – Payment of Estimated Taxes, Operating Costs, HVAC Costs and Janitorial Costs
(a) | The amounts payable by the Tenant pursuant to Section 3.02, 3.03 and 3.06 hereof may be estimated by the Landlord for such period as the Landlord determines from time to time, provided such period shall not exceed twelve (12) months, and the Tenant agrees to pay to the Landlord the amounts so estimated in monthly installments in advance during such period as Additional Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as soon as bills for all or any portion of the said amounts so estimated are received, the Landlord may xxxx the Tenant for the Proportionate Share thereof and the Tenant shall pay the Landlord such amounts so billed (less all amounts previously paid on account by the Tenant on the basis of the Landlord’s estimate as aforesaid) as Additional Rent on demand. | ||
(b) | Within a reasonable period of time after the end of the period for which such estimated payments have been made, and in any event within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the end of such period, the Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant a statement from the Landlord, confirmed by the Landlord’s independent auditors, of Taxes, Operating Costs, HVAC Costs and Janitorial Costs, together with a calculation of the Tenant’s share of the costs and expenses payable pursuant to Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 3.06 and, if necessary, an adjustment shall be made between the parties in the following manner. Such statement shall be accompanied by sufficient particulars of the amounts sought to be recovered from the Tenant in respect of the foregoing matters as will permit the Tenant to satisfy itself, acting reasonably, as to the propriety of the inclusion thereof in Taxes, Operating Costs, HVAC Costs and Janitorial Costs, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions hereof. If the Tenant has paid in excess of the amounts due, the excess shall be refunded by the Landlord within a reasonable period of time not to exceed fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the said statement. If the amount the Tenant has paid is less than the amounts due, the Tenant agrees to pay such additional amounts due forthwith upon demand. If any fiscal year during the Term is greater or less than any such period determined by the Landlord as aforesaid, the Tenant’s share of the costs and expenses payable, pursuant to Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 3.06 shall be subjected to a per diem, pro rata adjustment based upon a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days. The obligations set out herein shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease. Failure of the Landlord to render any statement of Taxes, Operating Costs, HVAC Costs or Janitorial Costs shall not prejudice the Landlord’s right to render such statement thereafter or with respect to any other period. The rendering of any such statement shall also not affect the Landlord’s right to subsequently render an amended or corrected statement. The Landlord shall, from time to time as relevant, and upon the request in writing by the Tenant, provide the Tenant with advice as to the amount of the fee being charged at the relevant time |
18
for administration and management contemplated by Section 1.02(22)(A)(xii) of this Lease and an explanation of the basis of calculating such fee. | |||
(c) | The Tenant shall have the right, upon reasonable notice to the Landlord, and at reasonable times during Business Hours during the six (6) month period next following the receipt by the Tenant of the relevant statement(s) referred to in Section 3.07(b) to cause the Tenant’s independent auditor to effect a review of the Landlord’s books and records relating to Taxes, Operating Costs, HVAC Costs and Janitorial Costs, and the fee being charged pursuant to Section 1.02(A)(22)(xii) of this Lease, for the purpose of verifying such statement(s). If such review determines a discrepancy in the Tenant’s favor, the Tenant may give written notice thereof to the Landlord. If the Landlord does not agree with the determination of such review, the parties shall exercise their reasonable good faith efforts to settle such disagreement within ninety (90) days following delivery of the Tenant’s aforesaid notice. Failing agreement within such ninety (90) day period, the matter shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to the provisions of the Arbitration Act, 1991. The Landlord shall pay to the Tenant any amount owing to it. Unless such review determines a discrepancy of at least five percent (5%) in the aggregate in the Tenant’s favor, any out-of-pocket costs of the Landlord in connection with such review will be for the account of the Tenant and shall be payable by the Tenant to the Landlord forthwith upon Notice thereof to the Tenant, as Additional Rent. | ||
The Landlord estimates that the Utilities Charge and the Proportionate Share of Taxes, Operating Costs, HVAC Costs and Janitorial Costs for the 2002 calendar year will be $17.26 per square foot of Rentable Area of the Leased Premises. |
ARTICLE IV
COMPLEX – CONTROL AND SERVICES
Section 4.01 – Control of the Complex by the Landlord
The Landlord shall operate and maintain the Complex in a first class and reputable manner as would
a prudent landlord of a similar multi-use commercial development, having regard to size, age and
location. The Landlord hereby represents and warrants that at the Commencement Date, the Common
Use Equipment serving the Leased Premises are in good repair and working order, capable of
adequately performing the respective services for which they were intended and installed.
The Complex is at all times subject to the exclusive control, management and operation of the
Landlord. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Landlord has the right,
in its control, management and operation of the Complex and by the establishment of Rules and
19
Regulations and general policies with respect to the operation of the Complex or any part thereof
at all times during the period when the Tenant is given possession of the Leased Premises and

(b) | relocate or re-arrange the various facilities and improvements comprising the Complex or erected on the Lands from those existing at the Commencement Date; and | ||
(c) | do and perform such other acts in and to the Complex as in the use of good business judgment the Landlord determines to be advisable for the more efficient and proper operations of the Complex. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, and except when necessary in connection with the completion of the Landlord’s rights and obligations provided in this Lease, the Landlord agrees that in exercising its rights hereinbefore set out and in performing its obligations under Section 8.03 it will do so in a manner so as not to unreasonably or materially interfere with the Tenant’s business operations, use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises, nor access to and from the Leased Premises. The Landlord shall exercise any rights contained in this Section and perform any obligations under Section 8.03, in a reasonable and prudent manner so as to minimize any disruption to the Tenant during Business Hours. In the event that in the exercise of its rights or performance of its duties aforesaid, it must proceed with activities of a nature materially interfering with or disruptive of the Tenant’s business operations, use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises or access to or from them, it will use its reasonable efforts to do so after Business Hours. In no event shall any such interference or disruption be of a permanent nature. |
Section 4.02 – Landlord’s Service
(a) | The Landlord shall provide climate control to the Leased Premises during HVAC Hours to maintain a temperature adequate for occupancy, except during the making of repairs, alterations or improvements, and provided the Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply climate control service when stopped as aforesaid or when prevented from so doing by strikes or other Unavoidable Delay. Any rebalancing of the climate system in the Leased Premises necessitated by the installation of partitions, equipment or fixtures by the Tenant or by any use of the Leased Premises not in accordance with the design standard of such system will be performed by the Landlord at the Tenant’s expense as an Additional Service to the Tenant. The Tenant acknowledges that the adjustment and |
20
balancing of the climate control systems may not be finalized until the Building is substantially occupied by tenants. | |||
(b) | Subject to the Rules and Regulations, the Landlord shall furnish, except when repairs, maintenance or replacements are being made, elevator and escalator service during Business Hours in common with others, provided that the Tenant and its employees and all other persons using the same shall do so at their own risk. The Landlord agrees that it will operate at least one elevator or escalator serving the Leased Premises at all times in addition to Business Hours (except during Unavoidable Delay), such operation to be carried out however in a manner consistent with the Landlord’s security arrangements from time to time in place. | ||
(c) | The Landlord will provide janitorial services to the Leased Premises consistent with the standards of a first-class office building. The Landlord shall not be responsible for any indirect or consequential damages sustained by the Tenant or others as a result of any act or omission or commission on the part of the persons employed to perform such work. Such work shall be done at the Landlord’s direction without interference by the Tenant and its servants or employees. | ||
(d) | The Landlord shall make available electricity for normal lighting and miscellaneous power requirements and, in normal quantities, water and other public utilities generally made available to other tenants of the Building by the Landlord on a 24 hour per day, 7 days per week basis, except when prevented from doing so by Unavoidable Delay or any other event beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord. |
Section 4.03 – Substitution
At any time, the Landlord may substitute for either or both the 4th Floor Premises and the 10th
Floor Premises (the premises with respect to which substitution is being made being hereinafter
called the “Old Premises”) other premises in the Building (the “New Premises”), in which event (i)
if all of the 4th Floor Premises and the 10th Floor Premises have been so substituted, the New
Premises shall be deemed to be the Leased Premises and (ii) if only part of the 4th Floor Premises
and the 10th Floor Premises have been so substituted, the New Premises shall be deemed to be part
of the Leased Premises, and in either case for all purposes hereunder, provided that the New
Premises shall be similar in area and utility to the Old Premises for the Tenant’s purposes. If
the Tenant is occupying the Old Premises at the time of such substitution, the Landlord shall pay
the reasonable expense of moving the Tenant, its property, trade fixtures and equipment to the New
Premises and other direct and proper costs and shall, at its sole cost, improve the New Premises
with Leasehold Improvements equal to or better than those located in the Old Premises. If the
Tenant is not occupying the Old Premises at the time of such substitution but subsequently occupies
the New Premises, the Landlord shall pay such expense and costs when the Tenant so occupies the New
Premises. If the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises increases as a result of such substitution,
the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises shall nevertheless be deemed not to have increased for the
purposes of the Tenant’s monetary
21
obligations under this Lease. If all of the 4th Floor Premises
and the 10th Floor Premises is substituted and there is sufficient available rentable space in the
Building so that the New Premises can be contiguous (either on the same floor or on floors which
are immediately above or below each other), the New Premises shall be contiguous. If less than all
of the 4th Floor Premises and the 10th Floor Premises is substituted and there is sufficient
available rental space in the Building so that the New Premises can be contiguous with that portion
of the Leased Premises which is not substituted (either on the same floor or on floors which are
immediately above or below each other), the New Premises shall be contiguous with that portion of
the Leased Premises which is not substituted.

Such policies shall be written on a compressive basis with inclusive limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for bodily injury to any one or more persons or property damage, and such higher limits as the Landlord, acting reasonably, or the Mortgagee requires from time to time and is customary in the real estate industry at the time, and shall contain a severability of interests clause and a cross-liability clause; and | ||
(iv) | any other form of insurance which the Landlord, acting reasonably, requires from time to time in form, in amounts and for risks against which a prudent tenant would insure. |
(b) | All policies shall: |
24
(i) | be taken out with insurers acceptable to the Landlord, acting reasonably; | ||
(ii) | be in a form satisfactory from time to time to the Landlord, acting reasonably; | ||
(iii) | be non-contributing with and shall apply only as primary and not as excess to any other insurance available to the Landlord or the Mortgagee; | ||

(c) | Certificates of insurance on the Landlord’s standard form or in a form satisfactory to the Landlord, acting reasonably, evidencing the Tenant’s compliance with its insurance obligations hereunder, or if required by the Mortgagee certified copies of each such insurance policy will be delivered to the Landlord as soon as practicable after the placing of the required insurance. Provided that no review or approval of any such insurance certificate by the Landlord shall derogate from or diminish the Landlord’s rights or the Tenant’s obligations contained in this Article. | ||
(d) | If the Tenant fails to take out or keep in force any insured referred to in this Section 7.01, or should any such insurance not be approved by either the Landlord or the Mortgagee and should the Tenant not commence to diligently rectify (and thereafter proceed to diligently rectify) the situation within two (2) Business Days after written notice by the Landlord to the Tenant (stating, if the Landlord or the Mortgagee does not approve of such insurance, the reasons therefor), the Landlord has the right without assuming any obligation in connection therewith to effect such insurance at the sole cost of the Tenant and all outlays by the Landlord shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord on demand as Additional Rent without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Landlord under this Lease. | ||
(e) | The Tenant agrees that in the event of damage or destruction to the Leasehold improvements in the Leased Premises covered by insurance pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(i), unless the Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 hereof, the Tenant shall use the proceeds of |
25
such insurance for the purpose of repairing or restoring such Leasehold Improvements.

The Tenant shall not keep, use, sell or offer to sell in or upon the Leased Premises any article
which may be prohibited by any fire insurance policy in force from time to time covering the Leased

(a) | the occupation of the Leased Premises; | ||
(b) | the conduct of business in the Leased Premises; or | ||
(c) | any act or omission of the Tenant in the Complex or any part thereof; |
causes or results in any increase in premiums for the insurance carried from time to time by the
Landlord with respect to the Complex, the Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums as
Additional Rent forthwith upon demand by the Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums
are caused by or result from the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, a schedule issued by the
organization (operating at arm’s length from the Landlord) computing the insurance rate on the
Complex showing the various components of such rate shall be conclusive evidence of the several
items and charges which make up such rate. The Tenant shall comply promptly with all requirements
of any insurer now or hereafter in effect pertaining to or affecting the Leased Premises, the
Building or the Complex.
Section 7.03 – Cancellation of Insurance
If any insurance policy upon the Complex or any part thereof shall be cancelled or shall be
threatened by the insurer to be cancelled or the coverage thereunder reduced in any way by the
insurer by reason of the use or occupation of the Leased Premises or any part thereof by the Tenant
or by any assigns or sub-tenant of the Tenant, or by anyone permitted by the Tenant to be upon the
Leased Premises, the Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord within five (5) days after Notice thereof
by the Landlord, but not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the cancellation or reduction of
such coverage, its proposal to remedy the condition giving rise to cancellation, threatened
cancellation or reduction of coverage. The Tenant shall immediately proceed to remedy such
condition in accordance with such proposal, provided that if such proposal is not satisfactory to
the Landlord’s insurer, acting reasonably, or the Tenant fails to diligently remedy such condition
in accordance with such proposal, the Landlord shall be entitled to forthwith remedy such condition
at the Tenant’s expense.
26
Section 7.04 – Loss or Damage
The Landlord shall not be liable for any death or injury arising from or out of any occurrence in,
upon, at or relating to the Complex, or damage to property of the Tenant or of others located on
the Leased Premises or elsewhere in the Complex, nor shall it be responsible for any loss of or
damage to any property of the Tenant or others from any cause whatsoever, except for any such
death, injury, loss or damage which results fro the negligence of the Landlord, its agents,
servants or employees or other persons fro whom it may in law be responsible, and provided that in
no event shall the Landlord be responsible for any loss, injury or damage contemplated by Section
7.07(b), or for any indirect or consequential damages sustained by the Tenant or others. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the exceptions to the limitation of the
liability of the Landlord set out herein, the Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage
to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, falling ceiling tile,
falling ceiling fixtures (including part or all of the ceiling T grid system) and diffuser
coverings, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain, flood, snow or leaks from any of the Leased
Premises or from the pipes, sprinklers, appliances, plumbing works, roof, windows or subsurface of
any floor or ceiling of the Complex or from the street or any other place or by dampness or by any
other cause whatsoever. The Landlord shall not be liable for any such damage caused by other
tenants or persons in the Complex or by occupants of adjacent property thereto, or the public, or
caused by construction or by any private, public or quasi-public work. All property of the Tenant
kept or stored on the Leased Premises shall be so kept or stored at the risk of the Tenant only and
except in the event of the negligence of the Landlord, its agents, servants or employees or other
persons for whom it may be in law responsible (but subject to the provision in this Section 7.04
respecting loss, injury or damage contemplated by Section 7.07(b) and indirect or consequential
damages), the Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord and save it harmless from any claims arising out
of any damage to the same including, without limitation, any subrogation claims by the Tenant’s
insurers.
Section 7.05 – Landlord’s Insurance
The Landlord shall at all times throughout the Term carry:
(a) | insurance on the Building (excluding the foundations and excavations but including Leasehold Improvements installed in rentable premises within the Building with the approval of the Landlord) and the machinery, boilers and equipment contained therein or servicing the Building and owned by the Landlord or the owners of the Complex (specifically excluding any property with respect to which the Tenant and other tenants are obliged to insure pursuant to Section 7.01 or similar sections of their respective leases) against damage by fire and extended perils or all-risks coverage; | ||
(b) | public liability and property damage insurance with respect to the Landlord’s operations in the Complex; | ||
(c) | loss of rental income insurance, or loss of insurable gross profits commonly insured against by the prudent landlords, including loss of all |
27
rentals receivable from tenants in the Complex in accordance with the provisions of their leases, including basic additional rentals; and | |||
(d) | such other form or forms of insurance as the Landlord or the Mortgagee reasonably considers advisable. |
Such insurance shall be in such reasonable amounts and with such reasonable deductibles as would be
carried by a prudent owner of a reasonably similar multi-use commercial development, having regard
to size, age and location. Notwithstanding the Landlord’s covenant contained in this Section 7.05,
and notwithstanding any contribution by the Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums provided
herein, the Tenant acknowledges and agrees that no insurable interest is conferred upon the Tenant
under any policies of insurance carried by the Landlord, and the Tenant has no right to receive any
proceeds of any such insurance policies carried by the Landlord.
Section 7.06 – Indemnification
Except as provided in Section 7.07(a) but notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the
Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord and save it harmless from and against any loss (including loss
of Basic Rent and Additional Rent), claims, actions, damages, liability and expenses (collectively
“Damages”) in connection with loss of life, personal injury, damage to property or any other loss
or injury whatsoever arising out of this Lease, or any occurrence in, upon or at the Leased
Premises, or the occupancy or use by the Tenant of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, or
occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of the Tenant or by anyone permitted to be on
the Leased Premises by the Tenant (provided that if any Damages result from an act or omission
occasioned in part by the Tenant, the Tenant’s obligation to indemnify as aforesaid shall be in
proportion to its fault). If the Landlord shall, without fault on its part, be made a party of any
litigation commenced by or against the Tenant, then the Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold
the Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable legal fees incurred or paid
by the Landlord in connection with such litigation. The Tenant shall also pay all costs, expenses
and reasonable legal fees (on a solicitor and his client basis) that may be incurred or paid by the
Landlord in enforcing the terms, covenants and conditions in this Lease unless a Court shall decide
otherwise.
Except to the extent of any loss, injury or damage caused by the Tenant or those for whom the
Tenant is in law responsible, the Landlord shall indemnify the Tenant and its directors, officers,
employees and agents and save them harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims,
damages, losses and expenses due to or arising from:
(a) | any breach by the Landlord of any provisions of this Lease; | ||
(b) | any loss, injury (including death) or damage in respect of persons or property arising out of or in connection with any negligence of the Landlord or those for whom the Landlord is in law responsible on or about the Complex. |
28

(b) | The Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant in respect of any loss, injury or damage to property insured or required to be insured by the Tenant under Sections 7.01(a)(i) and (ii). |
ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.01 – Maintenance and Repairs by the Tenant
(a) | Subject to Sections 9.01 and 9.02, the Tenant shall at all times at its sole cost, keep and maintain the Leased Premises, exclusive of Common Use Equipment, in good order, first class condition and repair (which shall include, without limitation, periodic painting and decoration), as determined by the Landlord, acting reasonably, subject only to normal wear and tear not inconsistent with good order, first class condition and repair. | ||
(b) | The Tenant shall examine the Leased Premises before taking possession thereof and unless the Tenant furnishes the Landlord with a notice in writing specifying any defect in the construction of the Leased Premises within seven (7) days after such taking of possession, the Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have examined the Leased Premises, to have agreed that they are in order, and such taking of possession without the giving of such notice as aforesaid within such seven (7) day period is conclusive evidence against the Tenant that at the time thereof the Leased Premises were in good order and satisfactory condition, subject to latent defects, if any. The Tenant agrees that there is no promise, representation or undertaking by or binding upon the Landlord with respect to the use of the Leased Premises or any alteration, remodeling or redecorating of or installation of equipment or fixtures in the Leased Premises, except such, if any, as are expressly set forth in this Lease or the Agreement to Lease. |
Section 8.02 – Landlord’s Approval of the Tenant’s Repairs, Replacements, Leasehold
Improvements and Trade Fixtures
Whether prior to the Commencement Date or during the Term of this Lease or any renewal or extension
hereof, the Tenant shall not make any repairs, replacements, Leasehold Improvements
29
or install
trade fixtures in any part of the Leased Premises without first obtaining the Landlord’s written
approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and in connection therewith the
Tenant shall, prior to commencing any such work, submit to the Landlord:
(a) | for its prior approval details of the proposed work, including drawings and specifications prepared by qualified architects, engineers or other qualified persons acceptable to the Landlord, acting reasonably, conforming to good engineering practice; | ||
(b) | such indemnification against liens, costs, damages and expenses (including its costs and expenses incurred, or which may be incurred, in reviewing the proposed work and supervising its completion) and such insurance coverages as the Landlord reasonably requires; and | ||
(c) | evidence satisfactory to the Landlord, acting reasonably, that the Tenant has obtained at its expense all necessary consents, permits, licenses and inspections from all governmental and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction. |
All such repairs, replacements, Leasehold Improvements or trade fixtures made or installed by the
Tenant to the Leased Premises approved of by the Landlord shall be performed:
(i) | with first class materials owned by the Tenant (except that trade fixtures need not be owned by the Tenant) at the sole cost of the Tenant; | ||
(ii) | by competent workmen approved by the Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and whose labor union affiliations are capatible with others employed by the Landlord and its contractors; | ||
(iii) | in a good and workmanlike manner; | ||
(iv) | in accordance with the drawings and specifications approved by the Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and | ||
(v) | in accordance with the reasonable regulations, guidelines and controls from time to time issued by the Landlord in respect thereof and subject to the supervisions and inspection of the Landlord. |
If any such repairs, replacements, Leasehold Improvements or trade fixtures would affect the
structure of the Building, or any of the Common Use Equipment or their warranties, such work shall,
at the option of the Landlord, be performed by the Landlord as an Additional Service. If such
would affect such warranties, the Landlord may reasonably refuse to allow such work to be done.
Upon completion thereof, and thereafter to the extent requiring ongoing maintenance,
30
repair or
replacement, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the Additional Service Cost in respect thereof.
Upon being invoiced therefor, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, as Additional Rent, a fee equal
to five (5) percent of the cost of any repairs, replacements, Leasehold Improvements and trade
fixtures constructed or installed by or on behalf of the Tenant in the Leased Premises to cover the
cost of the Landlord’s supervision and overhead during construction or installation thereof. In
addition, if the Landlord’s architects and engineers responsible for the Complex are not retained
by the Tenant to complete any of the same in the Leased Premises affecting the structure of the
Complex or any Common Use Equipment, any cost or expense charged to the Landlord by such architects
and engineers in respect of approval of plans or supervision of such work will be payable by the
Tenant as Additional Rent upon being invoiced by the Landlord. It is expressly acknowledged by the
Landlord that the fee referred to in this paragraph is in respect of construction and installations
by or on behalf of the Tenant taking place during the Term.
Section 8.03 – Maintenance and Repairs by the Landlord
(a) | The Landlord covenants with the Tenant to keep in a good and reasonable state of repair, and consistent with the general standards of comparable office buildings of comparable age in the immediate area of the Complex, but subject to Sections 9.01 and 9.02, and with the exception of reasonable wear and tear: |
(i) | those portions of the Complex consisting of the courts, concourses, lobbies, landscaped areas, entrances and other facilities from time to time provided for common use and enjoyment, and the exterior portions of all buildings and structures from time to time forming part of the Complex and affecting its general appearance; | ||
(ii) | the Building (other than the Leased Premises and premises of other tenants) including the structure, foundation, roof, exterior walls, the Common Use Equipment, the elevators, escalators, entrances, stairways, corridors and lobbies and washrooms from time to time provided for use in common by the Tenant and other tenants of the Buildings and the system provided for bringing utilities to the Leased Premises; and | ||
(iii) | the structural members or elements of the Leased Premises. |
(b) | Subject to Sections 9.01 and 9.02, the Landlord covenants with the Tenant to repair Insured Damage. | ||
(c) | The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Landlord is not liable for any damages, direct, indirect or consequential, or for damages for personal discomfort, illness or inconvenience of the Tenant or the Tenant’s servants, clerks, employees, invitees or other persons by reason of failure of any equipment, facilities or systems servicing the Building unless |
31
caused by the negligence of the Landlord or those for whom it is in law responsible (but in no event shall the Landlord be liable for indirect or consequential damages or for damages for personal discomfort, illness or inconvenience as aforesaid) or of reasonable delays in the performance of any repairs, replacements and maintenance for which the Landlord is responsible pursuant to this Lease and no such delay shall entitle the Tenant to any compensation or abatement whatsoever. | |||
(d) | If the Tenant refuses or neglects to carry out any repairs properly required to be carried out by it under this Lease and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord, the Landlord may, after Notice of default to the Tenant as required by Section 13.07 and the Tenant being given an opportunity to cure such default as set forth therein, but shall not be obliged to, make such repairs without being liable for any loss or damage that may result to the Tenant’s merchandise, fixtures or other property or to the Tenant’s business by reason thereof and upon completion thereof, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the Additional Service Cost in respect thereof without duplication of charge to the Tenant under any other section of this Lease. |
Section 8.04 – Surrender of the Leased Premises
At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the Tenant shall peaceably surrender and
yield up the Leased Premises to the Landlord in as good condition and repair as the Tenant is
required to maintain the Leased Premises throughout the Term and the Tenant shall surrender all
keys for the Leased Premises to the Landlord at the place then fixed for the payment of rent and
shall inform the Landlord of all combinations of locks, safes and vaults, if any, in the Leased
Premises. The Tenant shall, however, remove all of its trade fixtures and any Leasehold
Improvements if requested by the Landlord as provided in Section 8.08 hereof before surrendering
the Leased Premises as aforesaid and shall forthwith repair any damage to the Leased Premises
caused by their installation (unless such installation has been approved by the Landlord) or
removal failing which such may be completed by the Landlord as an Additional Service. The Tenant’s
obligations under this covenant shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of
this Lease.
Section 8.05 – Repair Where the Tenant is At Fault
Save for the limitation of liability contained in Section 7.07(a) but notwithstanding any other
provision of this Lease, if the Complex or any part thereof, or any equipment, machinery,
facilities or improvements contained therein or made thereto, or the roof or outside walls of the
Complex or any other structural portions thereof require repair or replacement or become damaged or
destroyed by reason of any act, omission to act, neglect or default of the Tenant or those for whom
the Tenant is in law responsible or through any of them in any way stopping up or damaging the
climate control, heating apparatus, water pipes, drainage pipes or other equipment or facilities or
parts of the Complex or the Building, the cost of the resulting repairs, replacements or
alterations, to the extent of the act, omission to act, neglect or default of the Tenant or those
for whom it is in law responsible, shall be an Additional Service Cost to the Tenant.
32
Section 8.06 – Tenant Not to Overload Facilities
The Tenant shall not install any equipment which will exceed or overload the capacity of any
utility, electrical or mechanical facilities in the Leased Premises, and the Tenant will not bring
into the Leased Premises or install any utility, electrical or mechanical facility or service which
the Landlord does not approve. The Tenant agrees that if any equipment installed by the Tenant
requires additional utility, electrical or mechanical facilities, the Landlord may, in its sole
discretion, if they are available, elect to install them at the Tenant’s expense and in accordance
with plans and specifications to be approved in advance in writing by the Landlord and the cost
thereof shall be Additional Service Cost to the Tenant.
Section 8.07 – Tenant Not to Overload Floors
The Tenant shall not bring upon the Complex or the Leased Premises or any part thereof any
machinery, equipment, article or thing that by reason of its weight, size or use might in the
opinion of the Landlord damage the Complex or the Leased Premises.
Section 8.08 – Removal and Restoration by Tenant
(a) | All Leasehold Improvements shall immediately become the property of the Landlord upon affixation or installation without compensation therefore to the Tenant, but the Landlord is under no obligation to repair, maintain or insure any Leasehold Improvements. Leasehold Improvements and trade fixtures shall not be removed from the Leased Premises either during or at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term except that: |
(i) | the Tenant may during the Term in the usual or normal course of its business and without the prior written consent of the Landlord remove its trade fixtures, provided that such trade fixtures have become excess for the Tenant’s purposes or the Tenant is substituting new and similar trade fixtures therefor, and provided that the Tenant is not in default under this Lease; and | ||
(ii) | the Tenant shall, immediately prior to the expiration of the Term and at its own cost remove, all trade fixtures and such of the Leasehold Improvements as the Landlord requires to be removed and shall forthwith repair any damage to the Leased Premises caused by their installation (unless such installation has been approved by the Landlord) and removal, failing which such may be completed by the Landlord as an Additional Service to the Tenant. |
(b) | If the Tenant does not remove its trade fixtures at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the trade fixtures shall, at the option of the Landlord, become the property of the Landlord and, as an Additional Service to the Tenant, may be removed from the Leased Premises and sold or disposed of by the Landlord in such manner as it deems advisable. |
33
All property of the Tenant remaining on the Leased Premises after the termination of the tenancy
shall be deemed to have been abandoned by the Tenant in favor of the Landlord and may be disposed
of by the Landlord as its discretion without prejudice to the rights of the Landlord to claim
damages from the Tenant for failure to remove the same.
Section 8.09 – Notice by the Tenant
The Tenant shall when it becomes aware of same notify the Landlord by Notice of any damage to or
deficiency or defect in any part of the Complex, including the Leased Premises, any equipment or
utility systems or any installations located therein notwithstanding the fact that the Landlord may
have no obligations with respect to same.
Section 8.10 – Tenant to Discharge All Liens
The Tenant shall at all times during the period that the Tenant is engaged in the construction or
installation of its improvements or has been given possession of the Leased Premises and throughout
the Term promptly pay all its architects, engineers, contractors, materialmen, suppliers and
workmen and all charges incurred by or on behalf of the Tenant for any work, materials or services
which may be done, supplied or performed at any time in respect of the Leased Premises and the
Tenant shall do any and all things necessary so as to ensure that no lien is registered against the
Complex or any part thereof or against the Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises (including,
without limitation, obtaining a waiver of lien from its contractors and subcontractors) and if any
lien is made, filed or registered, the Tenant shall discharge it or cause it to be discharge
forthwith at the Tenant’s expense.
If the Tenant fails to discharge or cause any such lien to be discharged as aforesaid, then in
addition to any other right or remedy of the Landlord, the Landlord, after giving written notice to
the Tenant of its failure as aforesaid and a reasonable opportunity for the Tenant to cure such
failure (not exceeding fifteen (15) days), may but it shall not be obligated to discharge the same
by paying the amount claimed to be due into Court and the amount so paid by the Landlord and all
costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees ( on a solicitor and his client basis) incurred
as a result of the registration of any such lien shall be immediately due and payable by the Tenant
to the Landlord as Additional Rent on demand.
Section 8.11 – Signs and Advertising
Subject to compliance with laws and approval of the Landlord if such signage is to be connected to
the Building’s electrical system, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, the Tenant may
install signage in the Leased Premises necessary to identify and advertise its business. The
Landlord will prescribe a uniform pattern of identification signs for tenants to be placed on the
outside of the doors leading into the Leased Premises, and other than such identification signs,
the Tenant shall not paint, affix or display any sign, picture, advertisement, notice, lettering or
decoration on any part of the Complex or the Leased Premises for exterior view without the prior
written consent of the Landlord which consent may be unreasonably withheld. Any such signs shall
remain the property of the Tenant and shall be maintained at the Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, the Tenant shall remove any
such sign, picture, advertisement, notice, lettering or decoration from the Leased
34
Premises at the
Tenant’s expense and shall promptly repair all damage caused by any such installation and removal
failing which such may be performed by the Landlord as an Additional Service to the Tenant. The
Tenant’s obligation to observe and perform this covenant shall survive the expiration of the Term
or earlier termination of this Lease. The Tenant shall be entitled at its expense to have its name
shown upon the directory board of the Building. The Landlord shall design the style of such
directory board and shall in its own discretion determine the location of the same.
ARTICLE IX
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

(a) | If the Leased Premises are at any time destroyed or damaged (including, without limitation, smoke and water damage) as a result of fire, the elements, accident or other casualty required to be insured against by the Landlord pursuant to Section 7.05 hereof or otherwise insured against by the Landlord, and if as a result of such occurrence: |
(i) | The Leased Premises are rendered untenantable only in part, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the Landlord shall, subject to Sections 9.01(b) and 9.02(a) hereof, commence diligently to reconstruct, rebuild or repair the Leased Premises to the extent only of its obligation under Section 8.03, and Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx proportionately to the portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable from the date of the destruction or damage and until the Landlord’s repairs have been completed; | ||
(ii) | the Leased Premises are rendered wholly untenantable, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the Landlord shall, subject to Sections 9.01(b) and 9.02(a) hereof, commence diligently to reconstruct, rebuild or repair the Leased Premises to the extent only of its obligations under Section 8.03 and Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx entirely from the date of the destruction or damage and until the Landlord’s repairs have been completed; | ||
(iii) | the Leased Premises are not rendered untenantable in whole or in part, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, the rent and other amounts payable by the Tenant shall not terminate, be reduced or xxxxx and the Landlord shall, subject to Sections 9.01(b) and 9.02(a) hereof, commence diligently to reconstruct, rebuild or repair the Leased Premises to the extent only of its obligation under Section 8.03. |
35
(b) | Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9.01(a), if the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed by any cause whatsoever, and if, in the opinion of the Landlord reasonably arrived at, the Leased Premises cannot be reconstructed, rebuilt or repaired and made fit for the purpose of the Tenant within ninety (90) days of the happening of the damage or destruction, the Landlord, instead of reconstructing, rebuilding or repairing the Leased Premises in accordance with Section 9.01(a), may at its option elect to terminate this Lease by giving to the Tenant Notice of termination within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction, and thereupon Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other payments for which the Tenant is liable under this Lease shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such damage or destruction, and the Tenant shall immediately deliver up vacant possession of the Leased Premises to the Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease. | ||
(c) | Upon the Tenant being given Notice by the Landlord that the Landlord’s repairs have been substantially completed, the Tenant shall forthwith complete all reconstruction, rebuilding or repairs to the Leased Premises which are the Tenant’s responsibility under Section 8.01 and all other work required to fully restore the Leased Premises for business in every case at the Tenant’s cost and without any contribution to such cost by the Landlord, whether or not the Landlord has at any time made any contribution to the cost of supply, installation or construction of Leasehold Improvements in the Leased Premises. The Tenant shall diligently complete the Tenant’s repairs. | ||
(d) | Nothing in this Section 9.01 requires the Landlord to rebuild the Leased Premises in the condition and state that existed before any such occurrence, provided that the Leased Premises as rebuilt will have reasonably similar, and at least the, facilities and services to those in the Leased Premises prior to the damage or destruction having regard, however, to the age of the Complex at such time. |
Section 9.02 – Destruction of the Complex
(a) | Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease and specifically notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof, if: |
(i) | thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the area of the Building; or | ||
(ii) | fifty percent (50%) or more of the Total Complex Rentable Area; |
is damaged or destroyed by any cause whatsoever (irrespective of whether the Leased Premises are
damaged or destroyed) and if, in the opinion of the Landlord reasonably arrived at, the area of the
Building or the Total Complex Rentable Area, as the case may be, so damaged or destroyed cannot be
rebuilt or made fit for the purposes of the respective tenants of such space within on hundred and
eighty (180) days of the happening of the damage or destruction; then and
36
so often as any of such
events occur, the Landlord may, at its option (to be exercised by Notice to the Tenant within sixty
(60) days following any such occurrence), elect to terminate this Lease. In the case of such
election, the Term and the tenancy hereby created shall expire upon the sixtieth (60th) day after
such notice is given, without indemnity or penalty payable by, or any other recourse against the
Landlord, and the Tenant shall, within such sixty (60) day period, vacate the Leased Premises and
surrender them to the Landlord, with the Landlord having the right to re-enter and repossess the
Leased Premises discharged of this Lease and to expel all persons and remove all property

If the Landlord elects to repair, reconstruct or rebuilt the Complex and the Building, as the case may be, or any part thereof, the Landlord may repair, reconstruct or rebuild according to plans and specifications and working drawings other than those used in the original construction of the Complex and the Building, as the case may be, or any part thereof, provided that such plans, specifications and working drawings shall provide for facilities which, in all material respects, are the same as those in existence prior to such destruction or damage. |
ARTICLE X
TRANSFER AND SALE
Section 10.01 – Assigning and Subletting
The Tenant will not enter into, consent to or permit a Transfer without the prior written consent
of the Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but
shall be subject to the Landlord’s rights under Section 10.02. Notwithstanding any statutory
provision to the contrary, it shall not be considered unreasonable for the Landlord to take into
account the following factors in deciding whether to grant or without its consent:
(a) | whether any such Transfer is in violation or breach of any covenants or restrictions granted by the Landlord to other tenants or occupants or prospective tenants or occupants in the Complex; |
37
(b) | whether any such Transfer will result in a material change in the character of public traffic to and from the Leased Premises or in a use of the Leased Premises incompatible with the other occupants of the Complex and the use of their premises; | ||
(c) | whether in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion the financial background, business history and capability of the proposed transferee is satisfactory; | ||
(d) | intentionally deleted, and | ||
(e) | whether the proposed person or entity to whom the Transfer being made is an existing tenant in the Complex. |
The consent by the Landlord to any Transfer, if granted, shall not constitute a waiver of the
necessity for such consent to any subsequent Transfer. This prohibition against a Transfer is
construed so as to include a prohibition against any Transfer by operation of law and no Transfer
shall take place or be deemed to have been consented to or approved by reason of a failure by the
Landlord to give notice to the Tenant within fifteen (15) days as required by Section 10.02.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.01 and Section 10.02 but subject to
Section 10.03, the Tenant shall have the right, without being required to obtain the consent of the
Landlord but upon prior written notice to the Landlord and the transferee entering into an
agreement with the Landlord as provided in Section 10.03(a)(i), to enter into a Transfer wherein
the transferee is a holding body corporate, a subsidiary body corporate or an affiliate (as those
terms are defined in the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)), in each case of the Tenant (and in
each case sometimes hereinafter called a “Permitted Transferee”).
Section 10.02 – Landlord’s Consent
For the purposes of this Section 10.02, “Tenant” means the Tenant, and any subtenant of all or any
part of the Leased Premises.
If the Tenant intents to effect a Transfer, then and so often as much event shall occur, the Tenant
shall give prior written notice to the Landlord of such intent specifying therein the proposed
transferee, the type of Transfer contemplated, the portion of the Leased Premises affected thereby
and the financial and other terms of the Transfer relevant to this Lease and the Leased Premises
and shall provide such information with respect thereto including, without limitation, information
concerning the proposed transferee and the principals thereof and as to any credit, financial or
business information relating to the proposed transferee and the principals thereof as the Landlord
or the Mortgagee reasonably require together with copies of any documents which record the
particulars of the proposed Transfer. The Landlord shall within fifteen (15) days after having
received such notice and all such necessary information, notify the Tenant in writing either that
it consents or does not consent to the Transfer in accordance with the provisions and
qualifications in this Article X.
38
Section 10.03 – Conditions of Transfer
(a) | If there is a permitted Transfer, the Landlord may accept rent from the transferee and apply the net amount collected to the rent required to be paid pursuant to this Lease, but no acceptance by the Landlord of any payment by the transferee shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of Article X hereof or the acceptance of the transferee as tenant or a release of the Tenant from the further performance by the tenant of the covenants or obligations on the part of the Tenant herein contained. Any consent by the Landlord shall be subject to the Tenant executing and causing any such transferee to promptly execute an agreement directly with the Landlord agreeing: |
(i) | to be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease as if such transferee had originally executed this Lease as tenant; and | ||
(ii) | provided the Landlord is entitled to otherwise withhold its consent, to amend the Lease so as to incorporate any conditions imposed by the Landlord in its consent acting reasonably and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. |
(b) | Notwithstanding any such Transfer permitted or consented to by the Landlord, the Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable with the transferee under this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. | ||
(c) | Intentionally deleted. | ||
(d) | Any document or consent evidencing any Transfer permitted by the Landlord or setting out any terms applicable to such Transfer or the rights and obligations of the Tenant or the transferee thereunder, shall be prepared by the Landlord or its solicitors, and all reasonable legal and other costs with respect thereto shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord or its solicitors forthwith upon demand as Additional Rent, together with an administrative fee payable to the Landlord in the amount of Three Hundred Dollars ($300). | ||
(e) | Where the Landlord gives its consent to a Transfer, the Tenant shall pay forthwith to the Landlord as Additional Rent any consideration (whether profit or otherwise but net of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Tenant in connection therewith) received by the Tenant (in its capacity as assignor, sublessor or transferor) and relating to this Lease and/or the Leased Premises whether directly or indirectly from any assignee, sublessee or transferee, whether in the form of cash, goods or services. |

Section 10.04 – No Advertising of the Leased Premises
The Tenant shall not print, publish, post, display or broadcast any notice or advertisement or
otherwise advertise the whole or any part of the Leased Premises for the purpose of any Transfer
and it shall not permit any broker or other person to do any of the foregoing, unless the complete
text and format of any such notice or advertisement is first approved in writing by the Landlord.
Without in any way restricting or limiting the Landlord’s right to refuse any text or format on
other grounds, any text or format proposed by the Tenant shall not contain any reference to the
Rent nor to any proposed rent sought by the Tenant of and for the Leased Premises.

For the purposes of this Section, “Change of Control” means the transfer or issue by sale,
assignment, transmission on death, encumbrance, operation of law or otherwise, of any shares,
voting rights or interest which would result in any change in the effective control of the
corporation or partnership.
If the Tenant is a corporation or partnership or if the Landlord has consented to a Transfer to a
corporation or a partnership, any actual or proposed Change of Control in such corporation or
partnership shall be deemed to be a Transfer and subject to all of the provisions of this Article
X.
The Tenant shall make available to the Landlord, or its representatives, all of its corporate or

party acquiring such interest shall have agreed, so long as it holds such interest, to assume and
to perform each of the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Landlord under this Lease in
the same manner and to the same extent as if originally named as the Landlord in this Lease, the
Landlord shall thereupon be released from all of its covenants and obligations under this Lease.

No entry into the Leased Premises or anything done therein by the Landlord pursuant to a right
granted by this Lease shall constitute a breach of any covenant for quiet enjoyment, or (except
where expressed by the Landlord in writing) shall constitute a re-entry or forfeiture, or any
actual or constructive eviction. The Tenant shall have no claim for injury, damages or loss
suffered as a result of any such entry or thing done by the Landlord. Subject to the provisions of
Section 9.01 of this Lease, the rent required to be paid pursuant to this Lease shall not xxxxx or

(b) | the Tenant fails to observe or perform any other of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease to be observed or performed by the Tenant (other than the terms, covenants or conditions set out below in subparagraphs (c) to (l), inclusive, for which no Notice shall be required), provided the Landlord first gives the Tenant ten (10) days (or such longer period of time as is reasonable in the circumstances) Notice of any such failure to perform and the Tenant within such period of ten (10) days fails to commence diligently and, thereafter to proceed diligently to cure any such failure to perform; or | ||

then and in every such case, the Landlord, in addition to any other rights or remedies it has
pursuant to this Lease or by law, has the immediate right of re-entry upon the Leased Premises and
it may repossess the Leased Premises and enjoy them as of its former estate and may expel all
persons and remove all property from the Leased Premises and such property may be removed and sold
or disposed of by the Landlord as it deems advisable or may be stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost and for the account of the Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to
legal process and without the Landlord being considered guilty of trespass or becoming liable for
any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.
Section 13.02 – Right to Re-let
If the Landlord elects to re-enter the Leased Premises as herein provided or it takes possession
pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either
terminate this Lease or it may from time to time without terminating this Lease, make such
alterations and repairs as are necessary to re-let the Leased Premises or any part thereof for such
term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term) and at such rent and upon such
other terms, covenants and conditions as the Landlord in its sole discretion, acting reasonably,
considers advisable. Upon each such re-letting, all rent received by the Landlord from such
re-letting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Basic Rent or
Additional Rent due hereunder from the Tenant to the Landlord; second, to the payment of any
brokerage fees and legal fees and of costs of such alterations, repairs and re-letting; third, to
the payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any,
shall be held by the Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same becomes due and
payable hereunder. If such rent to be received from such re-letting during any month is less than
that to be paid during that month by the Tenant hereunder, the Tenant shall pay any such deficiency
which shall be calculated and paid monthly in advance on or before the first day of each and every
month. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by the
44
Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a Notice of
such intention is given to the Tenant. Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination,
the Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
Section 13.03 – Termination
If the Landlord at any time terminates this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies
it may have, it may recover from the Tenant all damages it incurs by reason of such breach,
including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, legal fees (on a solicitor and his client
basis) and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount
of Basic Rent, Additional Rent and charges equivalent to the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other
charges required to be paid pursuant to this Lease for the remainder of the stated Term over the
then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the stated Term (such
reasonable rental value to take into account all rents received by the Landlord as a result of its
re-letting of the Leased Premises pursuant to Section 13.02), all of which amounts shall be
immediately due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord.
Section 13.04 – Accelerated Rent
In any of the events referred to in Section 13.01, in addition to any and all other rights
available to the Landlord, the full amount of the current month’s installment of Basic Rent and of
all Additional Rent for the current month, together with the next three (3) months installments of
Basic Rent and of all Additional Rent for the next three (3) months, all of which shall be deemed
to be accruing due on a day-to-day basis, shall immediately become due and payable as accelerated
rent, and the Landlord may immediately distrain for the same, together with any arrears then
unpaid.
Section 13.05 – Expenses
If legal action is brought for recovery of possession of the Leased Premises, for the recovery of
Basic Rent or Additional Rent or any other amount due under the Lease, or because of the breach of
any other terms, covenants or conditions herein contained on the part of the Tenant to be kept or
performed, and such breach is established, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all reasonable
expenses incurred therefor, including legal fees (on a solicitor and client basis).
Section 13.06 – Waiver of Exemption From Distress
The Tenant hereby agrees with the Landlord that notwithstanding anything contained in Section 30 of
Chapter 236 of the Revised Statutes of Ontario, 1980, or any Statute subsequently passed to take
the place of or amend the said Act, none of the good and chattels of the Tenant at any time during
the continuance of the Term on the Leased Premises shall be exempt from levy by distress for Basic
Rent or Additional Rent in arrears and the Tenant waives any such exemption. If any claim is made
for such exemption by the Tenant or if a distress is made by the Landlord, this provision may be
pleaded as an estoppel against the Tenant in any action brought to test the right of the Landlord
to levy such distress.
45
Section 13.07 – Landlord May Cure Tenant’s Default or Perform Tenant’s Covenants
Subject to any appeal or contest by the Tenant under which the Tenant is permitted hereunder to
withhold or delay payment, if the Tenant fails to pay when due any amounts or charges required to
be paid pursuant to this Lease, the Landlord after giving five (5) Business Days Notice to the
Tenant may, but shall not be obligated to, pay all or any part of the same. If the Tenant is in
default in the performance of any of its covenants or obligations hereunder (other than the payment
of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sums required to be paid pursuant to this Lease), the
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, from time to time after given the Tenant twenty (20)
days (or such longer period of time as is reasonable in the circumstances or without notice in the
case of an emergency). Notice of any such failure to perform and the Tenant within such period of
twenty (20) days fails to commence diligently and, thereafter, to proceed diligently to cure any
such failure, perform or cause to be performed any of such covenants or obligations, or any part
thereof, and for such purpose may do such things as may be required, including, without limitation,
entering upon the Leased Premises and doing such things upon or in respect of the Leased Premises
or any part thereof as the Landlord reasonably considers requisite or necessary. All expenses
incurred and expenditures made pursuant to this Section 13.07 including the Landlord’s overhead in
connection therewith plus a sum equal to twenty-five percent (25%) thereof shall be paid by the
Tenant as Additional Rent forthwith upon demand without duplication of charge of the Tenant under
any other section of this Lease.
Section 13.08 – Additional Rent
If the Tenant is in default in the payment of any amounts or charges required to be paid pursuant
to this Lease, they shall, if not paid when due, be collectible as Additional Rent forthwith on
demand, but nothing herein contained is deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any amount of
money at the time it becomes due and payable hereunder, or limit any other remedy of the Landlord.
The Tenant agrees that the Landlord may, at its option, apply or allocate any sums received from or
due to the Tenant against any amounts due and payable hereunder in such manner as the Landlord sees
fit. All such moneys payable to the Landlord hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum
which is five (5) percentage points in excess of the Bank Rate calculated on a daily basis from the
time such sums become due until paid by the Tenant.
Section 13.09 – Remedies Generally
Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy of the Landlord in respect of the default by the
Tenant does not preclude the Landlord from any other remedy in respect thereof, whether available
at law or in equity or by statute or expressly provided in this Lease. No remedy shall be
exclusive or dependent upon any other remedy, but the Landlord may from time to time exercise any
one or more of such remedies generally or in combination, such remedies being cumulative and not
alternative. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Tenant of any of the covenants,
provisions or terms hereof, the Landlord shall have the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law
or in equity (including injunction) as if re-entry and other remedies were not provided for herein.
46
Section 13.10 – Holding Over
If the Tenant shall hold over after the original Term or any extended term hereof with the consent
of the Landlord, such holding over shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month only and
shall have no greater effect, any custom, statute, law or ordinance to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be governed by the terms and conditions hereof,
notwithstanding any statutory provision or rule of law to the contrary. During any such period of
holding over, if the Landlord objects thereto, the Tenant shall be required to pay the monthly
Basic Rent payable during the month immediately preceding the expiration or termination of this
Lease times two (2), plus all Additional Rent payable hereunder. The rights of the Landlord under
this section shall be in addition to all other remedies available to the Landlord under this Lease
or otherwise at law or in equity arising as a result of such holding over.
Section 13.11 – No Waiver
The failure of the Landlord to insist upon a strict performance of any of the covenants and
provisions herein contained shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that the
Landlord may have and shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in the covenants
and provisoes herein contained.
ARTICLE XIV
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 14.01 – Rules and Regulations
The Rules and Regulations adopted and promulgated by the Landlord from time to time acting
reasonably including, without limitation, those set out in Schedule “C” attached, are hereby made a

the same, provided that, with respect to any Rules and Regulations adopted and promulgated after
the date hereof, they do not conflict with the terms and provisions of this Lease. The Rules and
Regulations may differentiate between the different types of business in the Building, but the
Rules and Regulations will be adopted and promulgated by the Landlord acting reasonably and in such
manner as would a prudent landlord of a reasonably similar commercial development. Failure by the
Tenant to keep and observe any of the Rules and Regulations now or from time to time in force
constitutes a default under this Lease in such manner as if the same were contained herein as
covenants. The Landlord reserves the right from time to time to amend or supplement the Rules and
Regulations applicable to the Leased Premises or the Building as in the Landlord’s judgment acting
reasonably are needed from time to time for the safety, case, cleanliness and more efficient
operation of the Building or the Complex and for the preservation of good order therein, provided
that, with respect to any Rules and Regulations adopted and promulgated after the date hereof, they
do not conflict with the terms and provisions of this Lease. Notice of the Rules and Regulations
and amendments and supplements, if any, shall be given to the Tenant and the Tenant shall thereupon
comply with and observe all such Rules and Regulations, provided that no Rule or Regulation shall
contradict any terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
47
The Landlord is not responsible to the Tenant in the event of non-observance or violation of any of

49
Section 14.11 – Entire Agreement
This Lease and schedules attached hereto and forming a part hereof and the Agreement to Lease set
forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between the Landlord

provisions of the Agreement to Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail.
Section 14.12 – Severability
If any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or
circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease or the
application of such term, covenant or condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to
which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby and each term, covenant or
condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 14.13 – No Option
The submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute a reservation of or option for the
Leased Premises and this Lease becomes effective as a lease only upon execution and delivery
thereof by Landlord and Tenant.
Section 14.14 – Occupancy Permit
Provided further that notwithstanding the Commencement Date of the Lease as hereinbefore set out,
the Tenant shall not be permitted to enter into possession of the Leased Premises until the Tenant

its best efforts to obtain same prior occupancy.

Section 14.16 – Extended Meanings
The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder” and similar expression used in any section or subsection
of this Lease relate to the whole of this Lease and not to that section or subsection only, unless
otherwise expressly provided. The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to the Landlord or
the Tenant is deemed a proper reference, even though the Landlord or the Tenant is an individual, a
partnership, a corporation or a group of two or more individuals, partnerships or corporations.
The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Lease apply to the plural
sense where there is more than one Landlord or Tenant and to either
50

be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if either party hereto is bona
fide delayed, or hindered in or prevented from the performance of, any term, covenant or act
required hereunder by reason of Unavoidable Delay, then performance of such term, covenant or act
is excused for the period of the delay and the party so delayed, hindered or prevented shall be
entitled to perform such term, covenant and act within the appropriate time period after the

1. GENERAL
A single-tenancy office floor means a full floor occupied by one tenant, and a
multiple-tenancy office floor means a full floor occupied or to be occupied by more than one
tenant.
The horizontal boundaries of the rentable premises shall conform with those specified in
Section 2 of this Schedule for the purpose of establishing the Rentable Area for single or multiple
tenancy office floors or retail areas, as the case may be, and the vertical boundaries of the
rentable premises shall consist of the upper surface of the concrete slab forming the floor, and
the lower surface of the concrete slab forming the ceiling. The rentable premises shall not
include Common Use Equipment and structural components and the areas which comprise stairwells
(other than stairwells, if any, contained within the rentable premises, for the exclusive use of
the occupant), elevator shafts, flues, stacks, pipe shafts and vertical ducts.
No deductions shall be made for columns and projections within the Building.
2. RENTABLE AREA
(a) Rentable Area of a Single-Tenancy Floor
The Rentable Area and Useable Area of any premises situated on a single-tenancy office floor
shall be the floor area expressed in square feet of a full floor, computed by measuring, in the
case of outer building walls, from the inside surface of glass in such walls; but excluding from
such area the areas of stairwells (other than those stairwells contained within the premises of a
tenant, fro the exclusive use of such (tenant), elevator shafts, flues, stacks, pipe shafts and
vertical ducts, together with their enclosing walls, measured to the centre line of such walls and,
for greater certainty, without deduction for the elevator lobby, public corridors, if any,
washrooms, electrical rooms, telephone rooms, janitorial rooms and air-conditioning and/or fan
rooms serving only that floor.
(b) Rentable Area of a Multiple-Tenancy Floor
The Rentable Area of any premises situated on a multiple-tenancy office floor shall be the
aggregate of the following, expressed in square feet:
(i) the Useable Area, which means the floor area of such premises computed by measuring, in
the case of outer building walls, from the inside surface of glass in such walls, and in the case
of partitions separating such premises from corridors, from the corridor side of such partitions,
and in the case of partitions separating such premises from adjoining rentable premises, from the
centre line of such partitions, and in the case of any other abutting walls or partitions, from the
centre line of such walks or partitions; and
(ii) a Pro Rata Share (as hereinafter defined) of the floor area of those areas on such floor
which are comprised of public corridors, elevated lobbies, washrooms, janitor closets, electrical
closets, telephone, air-conditioning and fan rooms serving only the full floor in question,
together with their enclosing walls measured to the centre line of such walls.
64
Provided however, that for any premises situated on a multiple-tenancy floor of the Building, the
Rentable Area of such premises shall be deemed to be equal to the product achieved, expressed in
square feet, when the Useable Area of such premises is multiplied by 1.13183.
(c) Pro Rata Share
Pro Rata Share, for the purpose of determining the Rentable Area of any premises situated on a
multiple-tenancy office floor, means the fraction (expressed as a percentage) obtained by dividing
the Useable Area of such premises by the Useable Area of all premises on such multiple-tenancy
office floor leased or available for lease; provided that such Pro Rata Share shall not exceed
fifteen percent (15%) of the Useable Area of such premises.
(d) Retail Areas
The Useable Area and the Rentable Area of a tenant’s retail or other premises on the ground
floor, or on the concourse or other mezzanine levels, is computed by measuring the floor area of
the rentable premises to the outside finished surface of any wall or partition fronting on a lobby,
public corridor or pedestrian walkway, to the centre line of demising partitions or walls that
separate the Leased Premises from adjoining rentable space, to the outside surface of the curtain
wall glass for premises on the ground floor, and to the inside finished surface of any other wall,
excluding the area of any major vertical penetrations of the floor, and without deduction for a
recessed entrance door or store front, or for those parts of columns projecting into the rentable
premises, or for interior columns and other projections necessary to the Complex.
(e) Total Complex Rentable Area
The Rentable Area of the Complex is the sum of the Rentable Area of all areas of the Complex
which are rented, or designated or intended by the Landlord to be rented or rentable, for office or
retail purposes and, for greater certainty, includes the Rentable Area of all office space and
retail space occupied by the Landlord for the purpose of carrying on its business generally in
contrast to space that it occupies for the purpose of operating or managing the Complex; and,
subject to the foregoing exclusion for certain space occupied by the Landlord, for the purpose of
calculating the Total Complex Rentable Area, the Rentable Area of any office tenancy floor will be
calculated as if it were a single-tenancy floor; but the Total Complex Rentable Area specifically
excludes any Common Facilities other than Common Facilities located on office floors, any part of
the Parking Garage or any storage areas located at or below grade in the Complex.

of its right to extend the Term as set forth below or (ii) the commencement of the Extended Term
(as defined below); and
(b) the Tenant gives the Landlord not less than six (6) months notice prior to the expiration
of the Term (the “Notice of Extension”) of the Tenant’s intention to extend the Term;
then the Landlord will grant the Tenant the right to extend the Term for all (but not less than
all) of the Leased Premises on an “as is” basis for one (1) further period of five (5) years (the
“Extended Term”) commencing upon the expiration of the Term, and the Extended Term shall be on the
same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease except that:
(i) there shall be no further right to extent the Term;
(ii) the Basic Rent payable during each year of the Extended Term shall be equal to the Fair
Market Rent, to be agreed upon between the Landlord and the Tenant not later than three (3) months
prior to the commencement of the Extended Term or, failing agreement, determined by arbitration
pursuant to the provisions of the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario); and
(iii) any fixturing period or requirement in this Lease on the Landlord’s part to do any work
or to pay to the Tenant any construction allowance, inducement, loan or other amount in connection
with this Lease or improvements installed in the Leased Premises or any rent-free period set out in
this Lease shall not apply to the Extended Term.
(c) In this Paragraph 1, the term “Fair Market Rent” means the rent charged for tenants for
similar term for space comparable to the Leased Premises within the Building or other developments
of similar age, size, and location in the immediate area taking into account the tenant inducements
then being offered in the marketplace. For the purposes of determining Basic Rent and under
Paragraph 1(b)(ii), Fair Market Rent shall be determined based upon the assumption that all
improvements to the Leased Premises required to enable the Tenant to conduct business in the Leased
Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, including the Leasehold Improvements,
have been constructed and installed in the Leased Premises as of the date of determination of Basic
Rent.

this Lease, the Tenant shall not be obligated to restore either or both the Leasehold Improvements
and trade fixtures in existence at the date hereof, or any modifications thereto (but in this
latter case, provided such modifications are approved in writing by the Landlord), to base Building
or original condition. Subject to the foregoing and all other provisions of this Lease which do
not conflict therewith (an example of another provision of this Lease which does not conflict

Landlord agrees to accept the Leased Premises in the condition and configuration in which they are
structured at the time of expiry or earlier termination of this Lease.
4. Tenant’s Access and HVAC Operation 24 x 7
Subject to the Landlord’s security measures in force from time to time, the Tenant shall be
granted access to the Leased Premises 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The Landlord shall
operate the Building’s heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems (the “HVAC Systems”) 24
hours per day, seven (7) days per week, provided that the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord its
prevailing rate from time to time for use of the HVAC Systems during all hours other than 8:00 a.m.

Landlord’s prevailing rate at the date of this Lease is Twenty-five Dollars ($25) per hour.
5. Electro-Magnetic Interference
The Landlord warrants that to the best of its knowledge there has never been a problem with
electro-magnetic interference in the Leased Premises.
6. Tenant’s First Right to Lease Premises Adjoining 4th Floor Premises
(a) Subject to any rights in favor of third parties existing on the date hereof (including,
without limitation, any right of extension or renewal in favor of the existing tenant of the
premises referred to below), so long as the Tenant is OSI Group Inc. or Permitted Transferee (as
that term is defined in Section 10.01 of this Lease) and is not in default of any of its covenants
and/or obligations in this Lease, during the Term the Tenant shall have one-time right of first

Building outlined in red on the plan attached to this Lease as Schedule “H” when it becomes
available for lease (such Rentable Area as becomes available for lease being hereinafter referred
to as the “Offer Space”).
(b) As and whenever Offer Space becomes available for lease, the Landlord shall give written
notice thereof (a “Notice”) to the Tenant at the earliest reasonable opportunity. The Notice shall
be deemed to be an offer (the “Landlord’s Offer”) from the Landlord to the Tenant to lease the
Offer Space on the following terms and conditions:
(i) the Basic Rent shall be equal to the Fair Market Rent; for the purpose aforesaid, the term
“Fair Market Rent” means the base (or basic) rent (sometimes also known as “minimum rent”) charged
to tenants for a similar term for space comparable to the Offer Space
68
within the Building or other developments of similar age, size and location in the immediate
area taking into account the tenant inducements then being offered in the marketplace; if the
landlord and the Tenant are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within fifteen (15) days of
the Tenant’s acceptance of the Landlord’s Offer, it shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to
the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario);
(ii) the term shall commence not later than one (1) month after the Tenant’s acceptance of the
Landlord’s Offer and end at the end of the Term;
(iii) the Tenant shall be entitled to parking spaces on account of the Offer Space on the

Space or part thereof, the Tenant to pay for such parking spaces at the Landlord’s prevailing rate
from time to time; and
(iv) otherwise upon the terms and conditions set out in this Lease, applied mutatis mutandis,
except that any fixturing period or requirement in this Lease on the Landlord’s part to do any work
or to pay to the Tenant any construction allowance, inducement, loan or other amount in connection

passed, the Landlord shall be entitled to draw on the said letter of credit in the full amount of
such monetary default. The proceeds of any such draw shall be applied by the Landlord on account
of such monetary default.
