PART 2 - BASIC TERMS AND PRINCIPLES

2.1

Lease

This is a lease as well as a business contract. It is intended that this Lease be an absolutely net and carefree lease for Landlord and that Landlord shall not be responsible for any costs, charges, expenses and outlays of any nature whatsoever arising from or relating to the Premises or the Building during the Term, whether foreseen or unforeseen and whether or not within the contemplation of the parties at the commencement of the Term, except as shall be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease. Each provision of this Lease applicable to each party although not expressed as a covenant, shall be construed to be a covenant of such party for all purposes.

2.2

Grant

In consideration of the rents to be paid and the covenants contained in this Lease, Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases and accepts the Premises from Landlord, to have and to hold the Premises during the Term (unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Lease), at the rent, subject to the conditions and limitations and in accordance with the covenants contained in this Lease. Landlord grants to Tenant a non-exclusive licence throughout the Term to the benefit or use (as may be appropriate) of those Common Areas and Facilities which provide access to the Premises or which are generally made available to all tenants in the Building, in common with other tenants of the Building and with all others entitled thereto, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

2.3

Basic Covenants

Landlord covenants to observe and perform all of the terms and conditions to be observed and performed by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant covenants to pay the Rent when due under this Lease, and to observe and perform all of the terms and conditions to be observed and performed by Tenant under this Lease.

- 2 -

PART 3 - USE OF PREMISES

3.1

Use

Tenant covenants to use the Premises only as specified in section 1.6 in accordance with the Operating Standards, Environmental Management Plan and the standards of comparable office buildings in the municipality. Tenant shall operate in a first-class, reputable manner befitting the reputation and image of the Building. Tenant shall take possession of the Premises no later than the Commencement Date, unless Landlord otherwise consents in writing.

3.2

Abandonment

Tenant will not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time during the Term without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld. If Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, vacates, or abandons the Premises, or fails to conduct its business therein, or uses or permits or suffers the use of the Premises for any purpose not specifically herein authorized, Tenant will be in breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and then without constituting a waiver of Tenant’s obligations or limiting Landlord’s remedies hereunder, all Rent reserved in this Lease will immediately become due and payable to Landlord unless payment thereof is guaranteed to the satisfaction of Landlord.

3.3

Operating Standards and Environmental Management Plan

Tenant shall comply and cause every Person over whom it has control to comply with the Operating Standards and the Environmental Management Plan. Landlord may from time to time make other rules and regulations to amend and supplement the Operating Standards and which relate to the operation, use, reputation, safety, care or cleanliness of the Building and the Premises, the operation and maintenance of buildings and equipment, the use of Common Areas, and any other matters affecting the operation and use of the Building and conduct of business in the Premises and which may differentiate between different types of businesses. If the Operating Standards conflict with any other provisions of this Lease, the other provisions of this Lease shall govern. Landlord shall not be obligated to enforce the Operating Standards or Environmental Management Plan and shall not be responsible to Tenant for failure of any Person to comply with the Operating Standards or the Environmental Management Plan. The Operating Standards may differentiate between different types of tenants, different parts of the Building or otherwise.

3.4

Compliance with Laws

Tenant is responsible at all times to comply with and to keep the Premises, the Leasehold Improvements and Trade Fixtures in compliance and in accordance with the requirements of all Applicable Laws and the requirements of any insurer by which Landlord or Tenant is insured and affecting the construction, operation, condition, maintenance, use or occupation of the Premises or the making of any repair or alteration including, without limitation, compliance with each Environmental Law and any agreements with adjoining owners and or third parties affecting the Premises and the Building. It is Tenant’s responsibility to ensure that its use from time to time is permitted by all Applicable Laws. At Landlord’s request Tenant shall comply with any directive, policy or request of any Governmental Authority or any other reasonable request of Landlord, in respect of any energy conservation, water conservation, waste management, health, safety, security or other matter relating to the operation of the Building. Tenant shall not allow or cause any act or omission to occur in or about the Premises which may result in an illegal or prohibited use or causes any breach of or non-compliance with any Applicable Laws. If, due to Tenant’s acts, omissions or use of the Premises, repairs, alterations or improvements to the Premises or the Building are necessary to comply with any of the foregoing or with the requirements of insurance carriers, Tenant will pay the entire cost thereof. Before being permitted to take possession of the Premises, and at any time and from time to time thereafter within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide a true and complete copy of all environmental permits and compliance certificates for Tenant’s permitted business operations and all other activities by Tenant at, upon or about the Premises required and/or issued by a Governmental Authority or insurance underwriter pursuant to any Environmental Law.

3.5

No Waste or Nuisance

Tenant shall not commit or permit any waste or Damage to the Premises or the Building, or commit or permit anything which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any occupant of the Building or which is a

- 3 -

health hazard or which may interfere with the operation of any Building Systems or with the computer equipment, telecommunication equipment or other technological equipment of Landlord, any service providers or other occupants of the Building. Tenant will not cause or permit any nuisance or hazard in or about the Premises and Tenant will not permit the storage of any Contaminant or any Discharge in or about the Premises or the Building and will keep the Premises free of Contaminants, debris, trash, rodents, vermin and anything of a dangerous, noxious or offensive nature or which could create a fire hazard (through undue load on electrical circuits or otherwise), environmental, health or other hazard (including any electromagnetic fields or other forms of radiation) or undue vibration, heat or any noxious or strong noises or odours or anything which may disturb the enjoyment of the Building and the Common Areas by customers and other tenants of the Building. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) Tenant shall not use or permit the use of any equipment or device such as, without limitation, loudspeakers, stereos, public address systems, sound amplifiers, radios, televisions, VCR’s or DVD’s which is in any manner audible or visible outside of the Premises; and (b) no noxious or strong odours shall be allowed to permeate outside the Premises; and (c) no boot trays or other items may be placed outside the Premises; in each case without the prior written consent of Landlord which may be arbitrarily withheld or withdrawn on 24 hours Notice to Tenant.

3.6

Common Areas

Landlord agrees that Tenant, in common with all others entitled thereto including the general public in concourse areas, may use and have access through the Common Areas for their intended purposes during Normal Business Hours only; provided however, that in an emergency or in the case of Landlord making repairs, Landlord may temporarily close or restrict the use of any part of the Common Areas, although Landlord shall, in such instances, endeavour not to prevent access to the Premises. Landlord may, from time to time, terminate or amend Tenant’s right of use of any of the Common Areas or eliminate or change the location and size of any of the Common Areas and their facilities.

3.7

Easements

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord and any persons authorized by Landlord may install, maintain and repair pipes, wires and other conduits or facilities through the Common Areas and the Premises. Any such installing, maintaining and repairing shall be done as quickly as possible and in a manner that will minimize inconvenience to Tenant to the extent reasonably possible in the circumstances.

PART 4 - TERM - POSSESSION

4.1

Term

This Lease shall be for the Term set out in section 1.7 unless earlier terminated as provided in this Lease, and nothing hereafter contained in this Part 4 shall postpone the Commencement Date, or extend the Term.

4.2

Tenant Fixturing

Subject to Schedule 8, section 3, Fixturing Period (Early Occupancy), should Landlord permit Tenant to take possession of the Premises for purposes of fixturing or installing its Leasehold Improvements prior to the Commencement Date, then all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except for payment of Basic Rent, shall be in full force and effect as of the date Tenant takes such possession, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of any Additional Services provided during the Fixturing Period, including the cost of cleaning and rubbish removal, and any Utilities consumed in the Premises.

4.3

Early Occupation

Intentionally deleted.

4.4

Delayed Possession

Subject to Schedule 8, section 3, Fixturing Period (Early Occupancy), if Landlord is delayed for any reason in delivering possession of all or any portion of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date, then Tenant will take possession of the Premises on the date when Landlord delivers possession of all of the Premises, which date will be conclusively established by Notice from Landlord to Tenant at least five (5) days before such date. This Lease will not be void or voidable nor will the Term be extended nor

- 4 -

will Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting from any delay in delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant. In the event that such delay in delivering possession is solely attributable to Landlord not performing Landlord’s Improvements within a time that a reasonably prudent Landlord would be expected to complete Landlord’s Improvements, no Rent will be payable by Tenant, for the period prior to the date on which Landlord can so deliver possession of all of the Premises, unless Tenant elects to take possession of a portion of the Premises whereupon Rent will be payable in respect of such portion from the date such possession is so taken. In all other circumstances, Rent will be fully payable by Tenant as if Landlord delivered the entire premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date.

4.5

Surrender

Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises upon termination of this Lease by expiration of the Term or operation of the terms hereof, in good and substantial repair and condition as required by this Lease.

4.6

Overholding

If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises following termination of this Lease by expiration of the Term or operation of the terms hereof, with or without objection by Landlord, and without any written agreement otherwise providing, Tenant shall be deemed to be a monthly tenant (with either party having the right to terminate such monthly tenancy at any time on 30 days Notice, whether or not the date of termination is at the end of a rental period) upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease insofar as these are applicable to a monthly tenancy, except as to the Term, and except as to Basic Rent which shall be equal to the greater of: (a) twice the Basic Rent payable in the last year of the Term or any renewal term, or (b) the then prevailing rate charged by Landlord in the Building. This provision shall not authorize Tenant to so overhold where Landlord has objected.

4.7

Effect of Termination

The expiry or termination of this Lease whether by elapse of time or by the exercise of any right of either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be without prejudice to the right of Landlord to recover arrears of rent and the right of each party to recover damages for an antecedent default by the other.

4.8

Acceptance of Premises

Tenant agrees that, except as may be specifically set out herein, the Premises are accepted on an “as is” basis and there is no promise, representation or undertaking binding upon Landlord with respect to any alteration, remodelling or decoration of the Premises or with respect to the installation of equipment or fixtures in the Premises. Taking possession of all or any portion of the Premises by Tenant will be conclusive evidence as against Tenant that the Premises or such portion thereof are in satisfactory condition on the date of taking possession, subject only to latent defects and to those deficiencies (if any) listed in a Notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord not more than ten days after the date of taking possession.

PART 5 - RENT

5.1

Payment

From and after the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Basic Rent and the Additional Rent. Tenant covenants to pay rent without any deduction, abatement or set off except as specified in this section. All rent in arrears shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date on which the same became due until the date of payment. Except as provided in sections 11.1 or 11.2 or by reason of a decision by Landlord to terminate this Lease pursuant to Part 11, (i) Damage to all or any portion of the Premises or the Building and (ii) restriction by Landlord of Tenant’s, its employees’ or its invitees’ right of access to the Building or the Premises, in accordance with Schedule 8 hereto shall not terminate this Lease nor entitle Tenant to surrender the Premises, nor in any way affect Tenant’s obligation to pay rent. Tenant agrees rent will be paid to Landlord by an automated debiting system, under which payments are deducted from Tenant’s bank account and credited to Landlord’s bank account on the due date, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Landlord; otherwise rent will be paid to Landlord at the address of Landlord set forth in section 1.1, or to such other person or at such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Alternatively, if and to the extent Landlord so requires, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord at the time and for the period requested from time to time by Landlord monthly post-dated

- 5 -

cheques in amounts conforming with the monthly Basic Rent payments, plus any Additional Rent payments estimated by Landlord in advance. Tenant’s obligations to pay rent will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

5.2

Basic Rent

Tenant shall pay Basic Rent in the amount set out in section 1.10, without demand and without any set-off, deduction or abatement (except as provided herein), in advance in equal consecutive monthly instalments on the first of each month commencing on the Rent Commencement Date at the address of Landlord set out in Section 1.1 or at such other place as Landlord may designate from time to time to Tenant. Rent is subject to adjustment upon measurement of the actual Rentable Area of the Premises by Landlord.

5.3

Adjustment Due to Measurement

Landlord may, from time to time, at its option, cause the Rentable Area of the Premises to be measured by an Expert in accordance with the Measurement Standards and deliver a certificate of measurement to Tenant, and, if necessary as a result of such measurement, the annual Basic Rent and the calculations of Additional Rent shall be adjusted by Landlord. The effective date of any such adjustment shall be:

in the case of any measurement made prior to or within six months of the Commencement Date, the date Tenant is allowed possession of the Premises under this Lease; and

in all other cases, the date of the determination of the measurement.

Any such measurement by an Expert shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. Neither Landlord nor Tenant may claim any adjustment to the annual Basic Rent or to the calculation of Additional Rent based on the Rentable Area of the Premises except in accordance with a measurement by an Expert made pursuant to this Section and, for greater certainty, neither Landlord nor Tenant may claim any adjustment to the annual Basic Rent or to the calculation of the Additional Rent based on such measurement for the period prior to the effective date of such adjustment as set out above.

5.4

Deposit

Tenant shall pay to Landlord a Deposit in the amount specified in section 1.13 to be held by Landlord as security for Tenant’s performance of its covenants under this Lease (without prejudice to Landlord’s other rights and remedies). No interest shall accrue or be payable to Tenant in respect of the Deposit. If Tenant shall be in default of any such covenant, Landlord may appropriate and apply such portion of the Deposit as Landlord considers necessary to compensate it for rent outstanding or loss or damage suffered by Landlord arising out of or in connection with such default. When requested by Landlord following any such appropriation Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount sufficient to restore the original amount of the Deposit. Tenant shall not assign or encumber its interest in the Deposit, and Landlord shall not be bound by any attempted assignment or encumbrance of the Deposit, except in the case of any permitted Transfer of the Lease pursuant to Part 9 of the Lease, in which case Tenant’s interest in the Deposit shall be deemed to have been assigned to such permitted Transferee as of the date of such Transfer. So much of the Deposit as remains unappropriated by Landlord shall be returned to Tenant within 60 days after expiry of the Term so long as Tenant has surrendered the Premises in accordance with all requirements of this Lease, otherwise the Deposit shall be forfeited to Landlord as liquidated damages, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Landlord.

5.5

Additional Rent

From and after the Rent Commencement Date, or such earlier date specified in this Lease, Tenant shall pay, throughout the Term, to Landlord, or to others if any sums are required by the terms of this Lease to be paid to anyone other than Landlord, further annual rent for the Premises equal to the aggregate of the following amounts:

(a)

Each Realty Tax levied or imposed upon or in respect of the Premises and each Realty Tax allocated to the Premises under Part 6 of this Lease,

(b)

Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs,

(c)

All amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to the Construction Schedule,

- 6 -

(d)

All charges for heat, water, gas, electricity or any other Utilities used or consumed in the Premises which are not supplied to Tenant by or through Landlord,

(e)

All charges for Additional Services,

(f)

Tenant’s Additional Share of Costs, and

(g)

Any other amounts payable hereunder as Additional Rent.

Prior to the Commencement Date and at or prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Period thereafter, Landlord shall compute and deliver to Tenant a bona fide estimate in respect of such Fiscal Period of Tenant’s share of Realty Taxes, Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs and such other items of Additional Rent as Landlord may estimate in advance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord in monthly instalments one-twelfth of such estimate simultaneously with Tenant’s payments of Basic Rent, provided that the monthly instalments on account of Tenant’s share of Realty Taxes may be determined so that Landlord collects all such amounts payable by Tenant by the final due date in the relevant calendar year. Landlord may from time to time re-estimate any items of Additional Rent and may fix monthly instalments for the then remaining balance of the Fiscal Period so that such items will be entirely paid during such Fiscal Period and Tenant shall change its monthly instalments to conform with the revised estimates. Landlord may also demand immediate payment of any amounts paid or payable by Landlord or otherwise due hereunder which are chargeable as Additional Rent and have not been collected in accordance with the foregoing.

Landlord shall deliver to Tenant within 12 months after the end of each Fiscal Period a written statement or statements (the “Statement”) setting out in reasonable detail the amount of Operating Costs, the Realty Taxes and such other items of Additional Rent as Landlord estimated in advance for such Fiscal Period. If Tenant’s share of Realty Taxes, Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs and other items of Additional Rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord during such Fiscal Period differs from the amount of Tenant’s share of Realty Taxes, Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs and other items of Additional Rent payable for such Fiscal Period, Tenant shall pay such difference or Landlord shall credit Tenants’ account (as the case may be), without interest within 10 days after the date of delivery of the Statement. Failure of Landlord to render any Statement shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to render such Statement thereafter or with respect to any other Fiscal Year. Landlord may render amended or corrected Statements.

If Tenant disputes the accuracy of any Statement within the period permitted under Section 5.8.5 of the Lease and Landlord and Tenant fail to settle the matter within a reasonable period, the matter shall be referred by Landlord to an Expert for prompt decision. Tenant shall pay in accordance with the Statement until such decision is rendered. The Expert’s signed determination shall be final and binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Any adjustment required to any previous payment made by Tenant or Landlord by reason of any such determination shall be made within 14 days thereof, and the party required to pay such adjustment shall bear all costs of the Expert, except that if the amount to be paid is 20% or less of the amount in dispute, Tenant shall pay all costs.

5.6

Utilities

Except where Tenant is purchasing Utilities directly from a supplier with Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost incurred by Landlord in providing Utilities to the Premises as equitably determined by Landlord, commencing on the earlier of the date of possession and the Rent Commencement Date, and billed monthly, in advance. The amount of such cost shall be based on Landlord’s equitable estimates of Tenant’s Share for the quantities and types of Utilities supplied to the Building. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain Utilities for the Building in a manner which meets certain environmental standards determined by Landlord. Any additional cost related to such Utilities shall be added to Operating Costs. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord the cost of cleaning, maintaining and servicing all electric light fixtures in the Premises, including the cost of replacing light bulbs, tubes, starters and ballasts. If Landlord shall from time to time reasonably determine that the use of electricity or any other Utility or service in the Premises is disproportionate to the use of other tenants in the Building, Landlord may adjust Tenant’s share of the cost thereof from a date reasonably determined by Landlord to

- 7 -

take equitable account of the disproportionate use and may separately charge Tenant for such excess cost, plus 15% of such excess cost to cover Landlord’s costs of administration. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall install and maintain at Tenant’s expense metering devices for checking the use of any such Utility or service in the Premises. In all cases Tenant shall reimburse Landlord in the same manner in which Landlord is charged including any energy demand or consumption charges.

Tenant shall not install in the Premises equipment or Utilities (including telephone, telecommunication or other information technology equipment) which may or does overload any Utilities or which generates sufficient heat to affect the temperature otherwise maintained in the Premises by the HVAC Facilities as normally operated. Landlord may install supplementary HVAC units, facilities or services in the Premises, or modify the HVAC Facilities, as may in Landlord’s reasonable opinion be required to maintain proper temperature levels, and Tenant shall pay Landlord, within ten days of receipt of any invoice, for the cost thereof, including, without limitation, installation, operation and maintenance expenses, plus 15% of such cost to cover Landlord’s costs of administration.

5.8

General Provisions

No Delay in Payment of Rent: Nothing contained in this Lease shall suspend or delay the payment of any money by Tenant at the time it becomes due and payable. Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its option, apply any sums received against any amounts due and payable under this Lease in such manner as Landlord sees fit. No payment by Tenant, or receipt by Landlord, of a lesser amount than the Rent due hereunder will be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor will any endorsement or statement on any cheque or any letter accompanying any cheque, or payment as Rent, be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such cheque or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy available to Landlord.

Interest on Arrears: If any amount of Rent is in arrears it shall bear interest at the Interest Rate.

Partial Periods: If the Rent Commencement Date is any day other than the first day of a calendar month, or if the Term ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then Basic Rent and Additional Rent, as the case may be, will be adjusted for the months affected, pro rata, based on a 365 day year.

Estimated Amounts: Where Landlord estimates or re-estimates the costs of Realty Taxes, Operating Costs and the amount of Utilities supplied, it shall do so acting reasonably and shall provide Tenant with statement of such estimates.

Statements: Invoices for the actual determination of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs and Realty Taxes shall be accompanied by a Statement of such Operating Costs and Realty Taxes verified to be correct by Landlord. Tenant may not claim a re-adjustment in respect of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs or Realty Taxes or other items of Additional Rent for a Fiscal Period based upon any error of computation or allocation except by Notice delivered to Landlord within six months after the date of delivery of Landlord’s Statement stating the particulars of the error in computation.

General: All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease except Rental Taxes shall be deemed to be Rent and shall be payable and recoverable as Rent, and Landlord shall have all rights against Tenant for default in any such payment as in the case of arrears of Rent. All Rent shall be paid in lawful money of Canada.

- 8 -

Allocations: Where any amount, cost or expense is to be determined, allocated, apportioned or attributed under any provision of this Lease, Landlord shall do so and shall act equitably in determining and applying criteria which are relevant to doing so and Landlord may retain engineering, accounting, legal and other professional consultants to assist and advise in doing so. If a charge for Additional Services is payable by Tenant under this Lease, then to the extent any cost or expense is included in such charge, such cost or expense shall be excluded from Operating Costs.

Adjustment of Operating Costs:

(a)

Where Landlord determines, acting reasonably but in its sole discretion, that any items(s) of Operating Costs are provided only to or for the benefit of a portion of the Building, then Landlord shall be entitled, but not obligated, to allocate the cost of those item(s) over such portion of the Building and adjust Tenant’s Operating Cost payment based on such allocation;

(b)

if the Building is comprised of different categories of leaseable premises, Landlord shall be entitled, but not obligated, to allocate Operating Costs among the various categories on the basis of such factors as Landlord determines to be relevant and to adjust Tenant’s Operating Cost payment based on such allocation; and

(c)

if any facilities, services or utilities:

(i)

for the operation, administration, management, repair and maintenance of the Building are provided from another building or other buildings owned or operated by Landlord or its manager;

(ii)

for the operation, administration, management, repair and maintenance of another building or other buildings owned or operated by Landlord or its manager are provided from the Building; or

(iii)

are otherwise shared between the Building and another building or other buildings,

the costs, charges and expenses of such items shall be allocated by Landlord, between the Building and other building or buildings on an equitable basis.

Reduction or Control of Operating Costs and Utility Consumption: Tenant shall comply with any practices or procedures that Landlord, acting reasonably, may from time to time introduce to reduce or control Operating Costs or Utility consumption and shall pay, as Additional Rent, all costs, as determined by Landlord, that may be incurred by Landlord as a result of any non-compliance. Landlord may use an Expert to assist it in making such determination.

PART 6 - TAXES

6.1

Taxes Payable by Landlord

Landlord shall pay all Realty Taxes in the first instance, unless levied or imposed directly against Tenant or the Premises. Landlord may defer such payments or compliance to the fullest extent permitted by law so long as it pursues in good faith any contest or appeal of any such Realty Taxes with reasonable diligence.

6.2

Business and Other Taxes Payable by Tenant

Tenant shall promptly pay before delinquency to the taxing authorities or to Landlord, if it so directs, as Additional Rent, all Business Taxes, and any other taxes, charges, rates, duties and assessments levied, rated, imposed, charged or assessed against or in respect of any use, occupancy or conduct of business at the Premises by Tenant or any other permitted occupant, or in respect of the Leasehold Improvements, Trade Fixtures, Tenant Property, or the business or income of Tenant on or from the Premises or rent payable under this Lease.

- 9 -

6.3

Allocation of Realty Taxes to Premises

There may be more than one Realty Tax for the Lands and the Building, each such Realty Tax being separately assessed, charged or imposed upon or in respect of the Lands and the Building. Subject to section 6.4 and the last paragraph of this section 6.3, each Realty Tax for the Building shall be allocated to the Premises under either section 6.3.1 or 6.3.2 and payable by Tenant as Rent, as Landlord, from time to time, determines, such that:

if there is a separate assessment or charge (or in lieu thereof, any information available to Landlord from which a separate assessment or charge may be determined by Landlord) for the Premises such Realty Tax for the Lands and the Building may be allocated to the Premises on the basis of such separate assessment or charge; or

Tenant’s Share of such Realty Tax for the Lands and the Building may be allocated to the Premises. For the purpose of this section 6.3.2. if any rentable premises in the Building are vacant, any lower tax rate or other reduction in such Realty Tax due to such vacancy shall be deemed not to exist and such Realty Tax for the Lands and the Building shall be adjusted to be the amount that would be applicable if the Building was fully occupied and the benefit of any lower tax rate or other reduction in such Realty Tax due to vacancies shall accrue solely to Landlord.

6.4

Allocation of Realty Taxes to Common Areas

Landlord may allocate to the Common Areas a portion of any Realty Tax for the Building and such allocated portion may include, without limitation, any amount of such Realty Tax related to assessments for portions of the Common Areas identified in the assessments of rentable premises.

6.5

Contesting Taxes

Tenant may, at its expense, appeal or contest the taxes, assessments and other amounts payable as described in section 6.2 but such appeal or contest shall be limited to the assessment of the Premises alone and not to any other part of the Building or the Lands and provided Tenant first gives Landlord Notice of its intention to do so, and consults with Landlord, and provides such security as Landlord requires and obtains Landlord’s prior written approval.

Landlord reserves the exclusive right to appeal or contest any taxes payable by Landlord, including Realty Taxes.

6.6

Alternate Methods of Taxation

If, during the Term, the method of taxation shall be altered so that the whole or any part of the Realty Taxes now levied on real estate and improvements are levied wholly or partially as a capital levy or on the rents received or reserved or otherwise, or if any new or other tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge in lieu thereof, shall be imposed upon Landlord, related in any way to the Building, the Lands or the income therefrom, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions and charges shall be included when determining Realty Taxes. If, during the Term, the method of taxation shall be altered, so that the whole or any part of the business taxes formerly payable in respect of any use or occupancy of the Premises is merged into a comprehensive realty tax, Landlord shall have the right to allocate and collect such component of the comprehensive realty tax (as would have been formerly business taxes) in the manner or on the same basis as would have been employed by the Governmental Authority previously levying same.

6.7

Rental Taxes

Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rental Taxes applicable from time to time, calculated and payable in accordance with Applicable Laws and Tenant shall pay such amount at the earlier of: (i) the time provided for by Applicable Laws; and (ii) the time the Rent to which such Rental Taxes relate is required to be paid under this Lease. The amount payable by Tenant on account of Rental Taxes shall be deemed not to be Rent for the purpose of such calculation but in the event of a failure by Tenant to pay any amount, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as it has in the event of a failure by Tenant to pay Rent.

Tenant will promptly notify Landlord of any Damage to or defect in any part of the Premises, or in any equipment or utility system serving the Premises, of which Tenant becomes aware notwithstanding that Landlord may have no obligation with regard thereto.

7.2

Responsibility of Landlord

Subject to Part 11, Landlord shall maintain and keep in good repair to the standards from time to time prevailing for similar office buildings in the area in which the Building is located, subject, however, to the limitations occasioned by the design and age of the Building and the capacity of the Building Systems and to reasonable wear and tear not inconsistent with such standard:

the Building structure, roof, and permanent building walls (except for interior faces facing into the Premises),

the HVAC Facilities,

systems and equipment installed by Landlord for the supply and distribution of Utilities,

the Common Areas including the elevators,

Landlord’s Improvements in the Premises, and

damage from causes against which Landlord has agreed to insure, as primary insurer.

The following provisions limit Landlord’s obligations in this section 7.2:

if all or part of such systems, facilities and equipment are destroyed, damaged or impaired, Landlord will have a reasonable time in which to complete the necessary repair or replacement, and during that time will be required only to maintain such services as are reasonably possible in the circumstances,

Landlord may temporarily discontinue such services or any of them at such times as may be necessary due to Unavoidable Delay,

- 11 -

Landlord will use reasonable diligence in carrying out its obligations under this section 7.2, but will not be liable under any circumstances for any consequential damage to any person (including, without limitation, Tenant) or to any property for any failure to do so,

.10

no reduction or discontinuance of Landlord services or loss of use of the Premises will be construed as an eviction of Tenant or release Tenant from any obligation of Tenant under this Lease,

.11

nothing contained herein will derogate from the provisions of Part 11 or from Landlord’s ability to include in Operating Costs, the cost of complying with this Part 7, and

.12

the repair standard may be suspended from time to time due to a Pandemic.

7.3

Inspection, Entry and Notice

Tenant will permit Landlord and its authorized agents, employees, consultants and contractors to enter upon the Premises at any time or times to examine, measure and inspect the Premises, to show the Premises to prospective tenants, mortgagees or purchasers, to provide janitorial and maintenance services, to take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to comply with the Environmental Management Plan and to make all repairs, alterations, changes, adjustments, improvements or additions to the Premises or the Building including the Building Systems that Landlord considers necessary or desirable, whether for the direct benefit of the Premises or where necessary to serve another part of the Building. For these purposes, Landlord may take all material into and upon the Premises that is required therefor and may have access to the overhead conduits and access panels and shafts and Landlord may check, calibrate, adjust and balance controls and other parts of the Building Systems and facilities including the HVAC Facilities. The Rent required to be paid pursuant to this Lease will not xxxxx or be reduced while any such repairs, alterations, changes, adjustments, improvements or additions are being made due to loss or interruption of Tenant’s business. Tenant will not obstruct pipes, conduits, ducts or shafts or other parts of the Building Systems so as to prevent access to them by Landlord. Tenant will provide free and unhampered access for the above purposes and will not be entitled to compensation for any damages, inconvenience, nuisance or discomfort caused thereby, but Landlord in exercising its rights under this section will make reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises. No entry made or work undertaken by or on behalf of Landlord upon the Premises pursuant to this section is a re-entry or a breach of Landlord’s covenant for quiet enjoyment. Despite the foregoing, Landlord will endeavour to give Tenant at least 24 hours prior Notice before doing any repair or maintenance work during Normal Business Hours, except in the case of emergencies.

Landlord may give Notice to Tenant requiring it to perform in accordance with section 7.1 hereof, and Tenant shall rectify any failure to perform within the time period set out in section 12.1 hereof. Should Tenant fail to commence such remedy within the allotted time, or having so commenced, fail to diligently continue such remedy to conclusion, Landlord may carry out such remedy without further notice to Tenant, and charge Tenant for such remedy as if it were an Additional Service requested by Tenant.

If Tenant is not present to open and permit any entry into the Premises when for any reason an entry shall be necessary or in the case of a real or apprehended emergency, Landlord or its agents may, using reasonable force, enter the same without rendering Landlord or such agents liable therefor, and without affecting the obligations and covenants of Tenant under this Lease.

Nothing in this Lease shall make Landlord liable for any actions, notices or inspections as described in this section 7.3, nor is Landlord required to inspect the Premises, give notice to Tenant or carry out remedies on Tenant’s behalf, nor is Landlord under any obligation for the care, maintenance or repair of the Premises, except as specifically provided in this Lease.

7.4

Alterations or Improvements

Following approval by Landlord, Tenant shall install, at its own expense and in accordance with the Environmental Management Plan, its initial Leasehold Improvements and Trade Fixtures in accordance with the provisions of the Construction Schedule annexed hereto and the Design Criteria Manual provided to Tenant.

- 12 -

Prior to taking possession of the Premises and commencing any work Tenant shall provide Landlord with an insurance certificate from its insurer and its contractors’ insurer confirming comprehensive general liability and building risk insurance in effect in an amount not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence and naming Landlord, Manager and any Mortgagee as an additional insured and containing cross liability and severability of interest provisions.

Following installation of such initial Leasehold Improvements, and Trade Fixtures, Tenant shall not make any alterations, repairs, changes, replacements, additions, installations or improvements (the “Alterations”) to any part of the Premises, Leasehold Improvements or Trade Fixtures without Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless the Alterations may affect a structural part of the Building or may affect the mechanical, electrical, HVAC or other basic systems of the Building or the capacities thereof, in which case Landlord’s approval may be arbitrarily withheld. Tenant shall submit to Landlord details of any proposed Alterations, including two (2) complete sets of professionally prepared working drawings (which shall include any architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, computer system wiring and telecommunication plans) of the proposed Alterations and specifications prepared by qualified designers and conforming to good engineering practice as well as a Statement as to how such Alterations are consistent with the Environmental Management Plan and Design Criteria Manual. Tenant shall retain Landlord’s base building mechanical, electrical, environmental and structural engineering consultants to ensure compatibility of the Alterations with the Building Systems, the Environmental Management Plan and the Design Criteria Manual. If Tenant uses other consultants for the preparation of Tenant’s working drawings, then Landlord may elect to retain architects, environmental consultants and engineers to review such working drawings for the purpose of approving the proposed Alterations (it being understood that notwithstanding such approval, Landlord shall have no responsibility with respect to the adequacy of such working drawings).

The installation of all Leasehold Improvements and Alterations shall:

at Landlord’s option, be performed by Landlord as an Additional Service,

be performed expeditiously and at the sole risk and expense of Tenant, (i) in accordance with the Design Criteria Manual and the Environmental Management Plan, (ii) in accordance with the plans and specifications submitted to and approved by Landlord, (iii) in accordance with any conditions, regulations, procedures or rules imposed by Landlord, (iv) in compliance with all Applicable Laws; and (v) in a good and workmanlike and expeditious manner using new materials.

Tenant will deliver a list identifying every contractor and subcontractor, accompanied by an up-to-date valid clearance certificate for each of them issued by the appropriate workers’ compensation, safety and insurance authority and Landlord shall have approved, prior to commencement of the Alterations, such contractors and subcontractors and their respective labour affiliations. Tenant will not use any contractor or permit the use of any sub-contractor that is not identified on the list.

be performed in compliance with the applicable requirements of all Authorities, evidence of which shall be provided to Landlord, and be subject to the supervision and direction of Landlord.

equal or exceed the then current standard for the Building, and

subject to section 7.4.7, be carried out only by persons selected by Tenant and approved in writing by Landlord, who will, if required by Landlord, deliver to Landlord before

- 13 -

commencement of the work performance and payment bonds as well as proof of workers’ compensation and public liability and property damage insurance coverage, with Landlord, any Manager and any Mortgagee as required by Landlord to be named as additional named insureds, in amounts, with companies, and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, which will remain in effect during the entire period in which the work will be carried out.

Any Leasehold Improvements made by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord or which are not in strict accordance with the drawings and specifications approved by Landlord shall, if requested by Landlord, be promptly removed by Tenant at Tenant’s expense, and the Premises shall be restored to their previous condition.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of technical evaluation of Tenant’s plans and specifications by either Landlord or an outside consultant plus an administration fee of 15% of such costs and shall revise such plans and specifications as Landlord deems necessary. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the adequacy and sufficiency of Tenant’s plans and specifications and Landlord shall have no liability of any kind arising from Landlord’s review or approval of such plans and specifications nor shall Landlord’s review and approval constitute an acknowledgement or indication of any kind as to the adequacy or sufficiency of Tenant’s plans and specifications.

Tenant shall have provided to Landlord a copy of the contract for the Alterations and evidence satisfactory to Landlord as to the existence of all necessary permits.

In carrying out any alterations or improvements in the Premises, Tenant, at its expense, shall pay to Landlord with respect to such work the cost to Landlord of all Utilities supplied to the Premises with respect to such work and the cost of any Additional Services including the cost of any necessary cutting or patching or repairing of any Damage to the Building or the Premises, any cost to Landlord of removing refuse, cleaning, hoisting of materials and any other costs of Landlord which can be reasonably allocated as a direct expense relating to the conduct of such work.

If a request is made by Tenant with respect to approval of Alterations or initial work including work which may affect the structure or matters which affect the mechanical, electrical, HVAC or other basic systems of the Building or the capacities thereof, which request is approved by Landlord, Landlord may require that such work be designed by consultants designated by it and paid by Tenant and that it be performed by Landlord or its contractors. If Landlord or its contractors perform such work, it shall be at Tenant’s expense in an amount equal to Landlord’s total cost of such work or the contract price therefor plus, in either case, 15% payable following completion upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant requests Landlord to alter or install any Leasehold Improvements or Trade Fixtures such work will be considered as an Additional Service. Tenant will, if required by Landlord, deliver to Landlord prior to commencement of any Alterations an unconditional irrevocable letter of credit or other security satisfactory to Landlord in amount equal to Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the cost of performing such Alterations, including 15% of the total of such costs representing Landlord’s overhead. If Landlord does not elect to perform any Alterations or initial work on Tenant’s behalf Landlord will nevertheless be paid a fee equal to 10% of the total cost of such work for co-ordination and supervision services.

.10

No Leasehold Improvements by or on behalf of Tenant shall be permitted which may adversely affect the condition or operation of the Building or any of its systems or the Premises, are inconsistent with the Environmental Management Plan or diminish the value of the Building or restrict or reduce Landlord’s coverage for municipal zoning purposes.

.11

If any proposed Alterations could affect the structure, the exterior walls or the Building Systems, Landlord may require that any such Alterations be performed by either Landlord or its contractors in which case Tenant shall pay Landlord’s cost plus an administration fee of 15% of such costs.

- 14 -

.12

During construction and installation of Leasehold Improvements, Tenant shall keep the Building clean of any related debris and in any event, after construction is completed Tenant shall do an adequate “first clean” to the Premises.

.13

Any Alterations and initial work will be subject to the regulations, supervision, control and inspection by Landlord or its employees, agents, manager or contractors during construction. Tenant acknowledges that such supervision will be for the benefit of Landlord only and that Landlord will not be responsible in any way whatsoever for the quality, design, construction or installation of any such Alterations. In addition to any other payment contained in this Article, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, Landlord’s then current fee for coordination services provided by Landlord during Tenant’s construction of its Alterations, the “Construction Management Fee” as set out in Schedule 8.

.14

Tenant shall ensure that all cabling installed in the Building in connection with Tenant’s business in or use of the Premises is appropriately labeled. Installation of flammable cabling shall be strictly prohibited.

.15

Upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a complete set, consisting of true original and electronic copies, of “as built” drawings for the Alterations.

.16

Any increase in Realty Taxes on or fire or casualty insurance premiums for the Building attributable to the Alterations will be borne by Tenant and Tenant will pay Landlord for the cost of such increase upon receipt of Landlord’s invoice.

.17

Tenant shall promptly pay before delinquency all its contractors and suppliers for all work done and materials supplied in respect of the Premises and shall do all things necessary to prevent a lien attaching to the Lands or Building and should any such lien be made, filed or attach Tenant shall discharge or vacate such lien immediately. If Tenant shall fail to discharge or vacate any lien, then in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may discharge or vacate the lien by paying into Court the amount required to be paid to obtain a discharge, and the amount so paid by Landlord together with all costs and expenses including solicitor’s fees (on a solicitor and his client basis) incurred in connection therewith shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand together with interest at the Interest Rate, calculated from the date of payment by Landlord until all of such amounts have been paid by Tenant to Landlord. Tenant shall not mortgage, charge, grant a security interest in or otherwise encumber any Leasehold Improvements.

7.5

Removal and Restoration

The Leasehold Improvements shall immediately upon installation become the property of Landlord without compensation to Tenant. Except as otherwise agreed by Landlord in writing, and as set out in Section 7.5.2 hereof, no Leasehold Improvements or Trade Fixtures shall be removed from the Premises by Tenant either during or at the expiry or earlier termination of the Term.

Unless Landlord by Notice requests otherwise, or unless Landlord elects to do so on Tenant’s behalf as an Additional Service, Tenant shall at its expense, prior to the end of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, remove all (or part, as designated by Landlord) of the Leasehold Improvements and restore the Premises to the base building standard with the basic systems of the Building, including the reconstruction necessary to reinstate the Premises original structure in the event structural changes were undertaken by Tenant.

Tenant shall repair and make good any Damage to the Premises or to the Building caused either in the installation or removal of Leasehold Improvements, Trade Fixtures, wiring, cable and related devices and equipment. Tenant shall ensure that any removal of Leasehold Improvements shall be completed by or on behalf of Tenant in accordance with the Environmental Management Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Tenant hereunder is Aquinox Pharmaceuticals (Canada) Inc., is itself in possession of the Premises and is not then and has not continuously been in default, Tenant shall not be required to remove its Leasehold Improvements or restore the Premises to the condition they were in previous to Tenant’s occupancy, provided that, at the expiration of the Term,

- 15 -

the Premises shall be left in an “as is” condition and Landlord’s approval shall be required for Tenant to remove any Leasehold Improvements from the Premises. If Tenant does remove any Leasehold Improvements from the Premises, Tenant shall be responsible to repair any damage, which may have been caused to the Premises or the Building by the installation or removal thereof, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the foregoing paragraph, it is understood and agreed that Tenant shall be obligated to restore any non-typical Leasehold Improvements including but not limited to any vaults installed in the Premises, any internal staircases, computer rooms, raised flooring, non-standard ceiling treatment, rooftop equipment, mezzanine area, etc.

7.6

External Changes

Tenant agrees that it shall not erect, affix or attach to any roof, exterior walls or surfaces of the Building any antennae, sign or fixture of any kind, nor shall it make any opening in or alteration to the roof, walls, or structure of the Premises, or install in the Premises or Building free standing air-conditioning units, without the prior written consent of Landlord which may be arbitrarily withheld.

7.7

Trade Fixtures

Tenant may, at the end of the Term, if not in default, remove its Trade Fixtures, and Tenant shall, in the case of every installation or removal of Trade Fixtures, make good any Damage caused to the Premises or the Building by such installation or removal. Any Trade Fixtures removed during the Term will be contemporaneously replaced with Trade Fixtures of equal or better quality. Any Trade Fixtures and equipment belonging to Tenant, if not removed at the termination or expiry of this Lease, shall, if Landlord so elects, be deemed abandoned and become the property of Landlord without compensation to Tenant. Landlord may sell or dispose of the Trade Fixtures in such a manner as it deems advisable and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, plus an administration fee of 15% of the costs. If Landlord shall not elect to have unremoved Trade Fixtures deemed abandoned and to have become the property of Landlord, Landlord may remove such Trade Fixtures from the Premises and store them at Tenant’s risk and expense and Tenant shall save Landlord harmless from all Damage to the Premises caused by such removal, whether by Tenant or by Landlord. If Tenant fails to complete any work referred to in this Section by the end of the Term, Tenant shall pay compensation to Landlord for damages suffered by Landlord for loss of use of the Premises, which damages shall not be less than 150% of the per diem Rent payable during the last month preceding the expiry or earlier termination of the Term.

No hand-written Signs will be permitted. Landlord may at any time prescribe a uniform pattern of identification Signs for tenants to be placed on the outside of the Premises and other premises. Any breach by Tenant of this provision may be immediately rectified by Landlord at Tenant’s expense and in this connection, Landlord shall be entitled to enter the Premises and remove any Signs contravening this provision and charge Tenant the costs thereof, and same shall not constitute a re-entry under this Lease and Landlord shall not be liable for any damages caused thereby, whether or not arising from its own negligence. Tenant shall ensure all Signs comply with the applicable provisions of the Environmental Management Plan.

7.9

Directory Board

Landlord may erect and maintain a directory board in the main lobby of the Building which shall indicate the name of Tenant and the location of the Premises within the Building. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s cost of changes thereto, and any other signage with respect to the Premises. Should sufficient space exist on the directory board, Landlord may provide to Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, additional entries as requested. The directory board shall be exclusively controlled by Landlord and shall be for identification only and not for advertising.

Tenant shall not overload the capacity of any such service. Tenant shall not bring onto the Premises any installations, appliances or business machines which are likely to consume significant amounts of electricity or other utilities or which require special venting without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not engage any Person to provide any utility service to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be arbitrarily or unreasonably withheld. If Tenant requires electrical power at a different voltage or at a greater capacity than Landlord’s system delivers, then any additional systems required, if available, shall be installed, operated and maintained at Tenant’s cost.

Water and Sewage Connections: Landlord shall provide to the floor(s) on which the Premises is located, water for drinking fountains, cold or tempered water for washroom facilities and the necessary sewer connections.

Telecommunications: Landlord may provide or arrange with third parties to provide to the Building, access to advanced information technology systems and equipment including fibre optic and other sophisticated telecommunication facilities.

The systems furnished and operated by Landlord for providing HVAC to the Premises are designed for a reasonable density of persons and for general office purposes based on window shading being fully closed where windows are exposed to direct sunlight. Arrangement of partitions, equipment or special purpose areas, or the installation of equipment with high levels of heat production by Tenant may require alteration of the portion of the HVAC Facilities located within the Premises. Any alterations that can be accommodated by Landlord’s equipment shall be made at Tenant’s expense and in accordance with section 7.4 hereof. Balancing of the system within the Premises shall be at Tenant’s expense. Tenant acknowledges that the HVAC Facilities serving the Premises or the Building may require initial balancing or that alterations made from time to time whether inside the Premises or in other areas of the Building, may temporarily cause imbalance of the HVAC Facilities and Tenant shall allow a reasonable amount of time for such readjustment and rebalancing.

Should Landlord fail to provide sufficient heat or HVAC at any time it shall not be liable for direct, indirect, or consequential damages, or for personal discomfort or illness.

8.6

Special HVAC Service and Utilities and Excess Quantities

If Tenant requests HVAC, electricity, sewage disposal, water or other utility services of a type or in quantities that exceed normal use by tenants in the Building, as determined by Landlord, Landlord shall supply such services if Landlord determines, in its sole discretion, that the provision of such services: (a) is within the capacity of the Building Systems; (b) would not affect the operation, aesthetics or structure of the Building; (c) would not reduce the efficiency of the existing services supplied to other tenants or parts of the Building; (d) is in compliance with the Environmental Management Plan and (e) is otherwise feasible.

Landlord shall also have the right to enclose any open area, and to grant, modify or terminate easements, rights-of-way, restrictive covenants and other agreements pertaining to the use and maintenance of all or any part of the Building, Common Areas or the Lands, and to close all or any part of the Lands, Common Areas or the Building to such extent as Landlord considers reasonably necessary to prevent accrual of any rights therein to any persons at any time. Landlord is entitled to make changes to the parking areas and facilities and to make any changes or additions to the systems, pipes, conduits, Utilities or other building services within or serving the Premises or any other premises in the Building. Landlord may retain contractors and employ all personnel, including supervisory personnel and managers that Landlord considers necessary for the effective maintenance, repair, operation, management and control of the Building. Landlord may do and perform such other acts in and to the Building or any of its component parts as Landlord considers reasonable for the proper and efficient maintenance, repair, operation, management and control of the Building. In doing any of the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises and same shall not constitute a re-entry hereunder. Landlord shall not be liable for any Damage caused to Tenant’s property. No claim for compensation shall be made by Tenant by reason of inconvenience, nuisance, discomfort or consequential loss arising from such changes or Landlord’s entry. Landlord shall make such changes as expeditiously as reasonably possible.

8.11

Security and Information

Landlord may provide a security guard or receptionist in the main lobby of the Building to provide general information to visitors and to control traffic in and out of the Building. Landlord may from time to time elect to substitute such services with automated systems and other devices that may from time to time seem appropriate for a comparable office building in the municipality. It is acknowledged by Tenant that such services are intended for the general benefit of the Building and are not intended to specifically protect or otherwise serve Tenant, its employees or the Premises.

PART 9 - DISPOSITIONS BY TENANT

9.1

Transfers

Tenant covenants that no Transfer affecting Tenant, this Lease, the Premises or the business of Tenant at the Premises shall be permitted or effective until Landlord’s prior written consent to the Transfer is delivered to Tenant. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord its written request for consent to such Transfer specifying the identity of the Transferee and the type of Transfer contemplated together with copies of the proposed Transfer documents and shall provide Landlord with full particulars of the proposed Transfer and the business and financial information and standing of the proposed Transferee and its principals, as Landlord or any Mortgagee may reasonably require. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Landlord may either:

refuse its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); or

Failure of Tenant to deliver Notice to Landlord within such 15 day period advising of Tenant’s intention to refrain from such assigning or subletting, shall be deemed to be an acceptance by Tenant of Landlord’s cancellation of this Lease (in whole, or in part, as the case may be). Any cancellation of this Lease pursuant to this section 9.1.3 shall be effective on the later of the date originally proposed by Tenant as being the effective date of transfer or the last day of the month which is not less than 60 days following the date of Landlord’s Notice of cancellation of this Lease. If Tenant is required to deliver possession of a part only of the Premises, Tenant shall pay all costs incurred in connection with rendering that part functionally separate and suitable for separate use and occupancy, including partitioning and providing entrances and services; or

grant its consent with such conditions, if any, as Landlord elects to impose in its sole discretion, which conditions shall be effective upon completion of such Transfer and may include but are not limited to:

an increase in Basic Rent to an amount which is equal to the then fair market basic rent for the Premises for the balance of the Term, as determined by Landlord;

the relinquishment of any rights of Tenant with respect to the name of the Building, with respect to signage, with respect to renewal of this Lease or extension of the Term, or in respect to additional premises in the Building, or of exclusivity of use;

the requirement that any party to the Transfer enter into a new lease with Landlord on Landlord’s then standard lease form for the Building and that Tenant enter into such new lease as a guarantor or indemnifier;

the deletion of any of the amendments to Landlord’s standard form of lease contained in this Lease; and

the requirement that any party to the Transfer other than Tenant covenant directly with Landlord in writing to perform and observe such of the covenants, obligations and agreements of Tenant under this Lease as Landlord requires.

- 21 -

Tenant is not and has not been in default under the Lease;

such assignment or sublease by its terms provides that all of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under the Lease shall apply to the assignee or subtenant and the subtenancy;

the assignee or subtenant covenants directly with Landlord to observe and perform each of the covenants and obligations of Tenant under the Lease;

Tenant delivers to Landlord a statutory declaration of a senior officer of Tenant confirming that the proposed assignee or subtenant is a Related Corporation; and

such assignment or sublease and related consent shall be deemed to have been revoked and rescinded upon the day immediately preceding the date upon which such assignee or subtenant ceases to be a Related Corporation and in such event Tenant shall resume possession of the Premises and shall directly operate the business required to be carried on in the Premises.

Landlord’s consent shall in no way release Tenant from the performance of any of its covenants under the Lease. No further Transfer shall be permitted except in accordance with the Lease.

9.3

Additional Requirements

If Landlord agrees to grant its consent to any Transfer under section 9.1:

Tenant shall not permit or cause such Transfer to be completed except:

upon terms consistent with the terms of Tenant’s request and information under section 9.1 (except to the extent modified by any conditions imposed by Landlord under section 9.1);

upon conditions imposed by Landlord, if any, under section 9.1; and

upon terms not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Lease;

Tenant shall cause to be executed and delivered by any party to the Transfer (including Tenant) such documentation as may be required by Landlord in connection with such Transfer;

if Tenant shall receive or be entitled to receive from any Transferee either directly or indirectly, any consideration for the Transfer or the use of the whole or any portion of the Premises, either in the form of money or monies worth, goods, or services, Tenant shall forthwith pay an amount equivalent in value to such consideration to Landlord and such amount shall be deemed to be Additional Rent due;

in the event of any subletting or other Transfer by Tenant by reason of which Tenant receives a rent or other payment of any kind related to any sublease or other right to use the Premises or conduct the business of Tenant therein, in the form of money or monies worth, goods or services from the subtenant or any other person, which is more than the rent payable hereunder to Landlord, Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord in addition to all Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable under this Lease, and such excess amounts shall be deemed to be further Additional Rent due;

if the Transfer is a sublease, the Transferee will agree to waive any statutory or other right to apply to a court or to otherwise elect to: (i) retain the unexpired term of the Lease or the unexpired term of the sublease; (ii) obtain any right to enter into any lease or other agreement directly with Landlord; or (iii) otherwise remain in possession of any portion of the Premises, in any case where the Lease is terminated, surrendered or otherwise cancelled, including, without limitation, any

- 22 -

disclaimer, repudiation, surrender or other termination by any trustee in bankruptcy of Tenant or a Transferee, by any court appointed officer, or by Tenant or a Transferee in connection with any insolvency proceedings;

notwithstanding the effective date of any permitted Transfer as between Tenant and the Transferee, all Rent for the month in which such effective date occurs shall be paid in advance by Tenant so that Landlord will not be required to accept partial payments of Rent for such month from either Tenant or the Transferee; and

if such Transfer shall not be completed within 60 days after Landlord’s consent is given, such consent shall expire and become null and void and Tenant shall not then allow or cause such Transfer to be completed without again complying with all the requirements of this section 9;

and such consent shall not be effective unless and until Tenant shall have complied fully with this section 9.2.

9.4

No Release

No Transfer or other disposition by Tenant of this Lease or of any interest under this Lease shall release Tenant from the performance of any of its covenants under this Lease and Tenant shall continue to be bound by this Lease. Tenant’s liability under the Lease will continue notwithstanding the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of any Transferee of this Lease or any amendment of this Lease or the termination of this Lease for default or the termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation of this Lease pursuant to any statute or rule of law. Furthermore, if this Lease is terminated for default or is terminated, disclaimed, surrendered or repudiated pursuant to any statute or rule of law, then, in addition to and without limiting Tenant’s liability under this Lease, Tenant, upon Notice from Landlord given within 90 days after any such termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation, shall enter into a new lease with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation and expiring on the date this Lease would have expired but for such termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease with respect to the period after such termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation.

9.5

Tenant will not print, publish, post, display or broadcast any notice or advertisement or otherwise advertise that all or part of the Premises is available for lease or sublease or is otherwise available for the purpose of effecting a Transfer, and it will not permit any broker or other person to do any of the foregoing, unless the complete text and format of any such notice of advertisement is first approved in writing by Landlord. Without restricting or limiting Landlord’s right to refuse any text or format on the other grounds, no text or format proposed by Tenant may contain a reference to the rental rate for the Premises and in no event shall Tenant display any sign that is visible from outside the Premises.

PART 10 - INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

10.1

Tenant’s Insurance

Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, take out and maintain in full force and effect at all times throughout the Term the following insurance:

“All Risks” insurance upon property of every description and kind owned by Tenant or by others and for which Tenant is legally liable, or which is installed by or on behalf of Tenant, within the Premises or on the Lands or Building, including, without limitation, stock in trade, furniture, equipment, partitions, Trade Fixtures and Leasehold Improvements, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost thereof from time to time. If there shall be a dispute as to the amount of full replacement cost the decision of Landlord or the Mortgagee shall be conclusive;

- 23 -

Commercial general liability and property damage insurance, including personal liability, contractual liability, tenants’ legal liability and non-owned automobile liability with respect to the Premises and the Common Areas, which coverage shall include the business operations conducted by Tenant and any other person on the Premises. Such policies shall be written on a comprehensive basis with coverage for any one occurrence or claim of not less than $5,000,000.00 or such higher limits as Landlord or the Mortgagee may require from time to time;

Business interruption insurance for a minimum period of 24 months including loss of profits in an amount that will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils insured against in Sections 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises or the Building as a result of any such perils, including extra expense insurance if applicable;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the terms of this paragraph, for so long as the Tenant is Aquinox Pharmaceuticals (Canada) Inc., then Tenant may self-insure for business interruption insurance as set forth above. The Tenant agrees that where Tenant is self-insuring as contemplated herein:

to “self-insure” shall mean that Tenant is itself acting as though it were the insurance company providing the insurance in the amounts as required pursuant to the section 10.1.3 and Tenant shall pay all amounts due in lieu of insurance proceeds which would have been payable if the insurance policies had been carried and all deductible amounts, which amounts shall be treated as insurance proceeds for all purposes of this Lease. This obligation includes Tenant’s obligation to provide Landlord, and any other designated by Landlord from time to time, with all of the protections, benefits, rights, indemnities and payments that would have been provided, had Tenant not elected to self-insure but had actually purchased such required insurance policies from independent insurers;

all amounts which Tenant pays or is required to pay and all loss or damage resulting from risk for which Tenant has elected to self-insure shall be subject to the waiver of subrogation provisions section 10.2.2 of this Lease and shall not limit Tenant’s indemnification obligations;

in the event that Tenant elects to self-insure and an event or claim occurs for which a coverage would have been available from the insurance company had insurance been purchased, Tenant shall use its own funds to pay any claim or replace any equipment or other physical property or otherwise provide the funding which would have been available from insurance proceeds but for such election by Tenant to self-insure; and

without derogating from, or in any way limiting or restricting any other release or indemnity contained in this Lease, Tenant hereby releases and indemnifies Landlord and those for whom Landlord is in law responsible form and against any and all liabilities which would have been covered had Tenant not elected to self-insure for any such insurance coverage required by this Lease;

Any form of insurance as Tenant, Landlord or the Mortgagee may reasonably require from time to time in amounts and for insurance risks acceptable to Landlord and any Mortgagee.

10.2

Policy Requirements

Each policy of insurance taken out by Tenant in accordance with this Lease shall be taken out with insurers, and shall be in such form and on such terms as are satisfactory to Landlord, and each such policy shall name Landlord, any Mortgagee and the Manager and any others designated by Landlord as additional named insureds, as their respective interests may appear, and each of such policies shall contain, in form satisfactory to Landlord:

the standard mortgage clause as required by the Mortgagee;

- 24 -

a waiver by the insurer of any rights of subrogation or indemnity or any other claim over, to which such insurer might otherwise be entitled against Landlord, the Manager and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or those for whom it is in law responsible;

an undertaking by the insurer to endeavor to deliver Notice to Landlord and the Mortgagee not less than 30 days prior to any proposed cancellation or other termination thereof;

a provision that Tenant’s insurance is primary and shall not call into contribution any other insurance available to Landlord; and

a severability of interests clause and a cross-liability clause, where applicable.

10.3

Proof of Insurance

Tenant shall provide to Landlord and the Mortgagee at the time of execution of this Lease and thereafter on demand, and from time to time, satisfactory evidence that the policies of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant in accordance with this Lease are in fact being maintained, not less than 10 days prior to their respective expiry dates, which evidence shall be in the form of certificates of insurance, or if required by Landlord or the Mortgagee, certified copies of each such insurance policy.

10.4

Failure to Maintain

If Tenant fails to take out or keep in force any insurance referred to in this Part 10 or should any such insurance not be approved by either Landlord or the Mortgagee and should Tenant not rectify the situation within forty-eight (48) hours following receipt by Tenant of Notice from Landlord (stating, if Landlord or the Mortgagee do not approve of such insurance, the reasons therefor), Landlord shall have the right, without assuming any obligation in connection therewith, to effect such insurance at the sole cost of Tenant and all outlays by Landlord shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as Rent and shall be due on the first day of the next month following said payment by Landlord without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease.

10.5

Damage to Leasehold Improvements

In case of Damage to the Leasehold Improvements, or any material part thereof, the proceeds of insurance in respect thereto shall be payable to Landlord, and such proceeds shall be released to Tenant (provided that Tenant is not in default hereunder) upon Tenant’s written request for progress payments, at stages determined by a certificate of the Architect stating that repairs to each such stage have been satisfactorily completed free of liens by Tenant or by Tenant’s contractors. In the event Tenant defaults in making such repairs, Landlord may, but shall not be obliged to, perform the repairs and the proceeds may be applied by Landlord to the cost thereof. If this Lease expires or is terminated at any time when the Premises or Leasehold Improvements are Damaged as a result of a peril required to be insured against by Tenant, Tenant shall pay or assign to Landlord free of any encumbrance, an amount equal to the proceeds or the proceeds of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant with respect to such Damage.

10.6

Increase in Insurance Premiums/Cancellation

Tenant shall not do, omit to do or permit anything to be done or omitted to be done upon the Premises or any other portion of the Building which shall cause the premium rate of insurance on the Building to be increased. If the premium rate of insurance on the Building shall be increased by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or any use made of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of such premium increase as Additional Rent forthwith upon receipt of the invoice of Landlord. A written report by an Expert concerning the cause of any increase in premiums will be accepted as conclusive evidence of the cause for the purposes of determining Tenant’s liability to pay for increases as Additional Rent. In the event of an actual or threatened cancellation of any insurance on the Building or any adverse change thereto by the insurer by reason of the use or occupation of the Premises, and if Tenant has failed to remedy the situation, use, condition, occupancy or other factor giving rise to such actual or threatened cancellation or adverse change within 24 hours after Notice thereof by Landlord, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by Notice to Tenant or remedy the situation, use, condition, occupancy or other factor giving rise to such actual or threatened cancellation or change, all at the cost of Tenant to be paid forthwith on demand, and for such purposes Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises without further notice.

- 25 -

10.7

Landlord’s Insurance

Landlord agrees to insure the Building and the machinery, boilers and equipment therein owned by Landlord (specifically excluding any property which Tenant is obliged to insure under this Part 10) against “All Risks” of loss in such reasonable amounts as would be carried by a prudent owner of a comparable office building in the municipality. Landlord may also carry public liability and property damage insurance with respect to the operation of the Building, rental insurance and environmental insurance and any other forms of insurance as it or the Mortgagee may reasonably determine to be advisable. Notwithstanding that Tenant shall be contributing to Landlord’s costs and premiums respecting such insurance, Tenant shall not have any insurable or other interest in any of Landlord’s insurance other than the rights, if any, expressly set forth in this Lease, and in any event, Tenant shall not have any interest in, nor any right to recover any proceeds under any of Landlord’s insurance policies.

Tenant acknowledges that notwithstanding that Landlord may provide connections or access within the Building for information technology systems which Tenant uses in the operation of its business, Tenant shall have no claim of any kind against Landlord with respect to any failure, interruption or improper performance of any such information technology systems or equipment whether located within or beyond the Building. Tenant shall look solely to third party suppliers and service providers in respect of all such claims and Tenant waives and releases any and all such claims it may otherwise have had against Landlord.

PART 12 - LANDLORD’S REMEDIES

12.1

Landlord May Perform Tenant’s Covenants

If Tenant is in default of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements under this Lease (other than its covenant to pay Rent) and such default shall have continued for a period of 10 consecutive days after Notice by Landlord to Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity the nature of such default and requiring the same to be remedied (or, if by reason of the nature thereof, such default cannot be cured by the payment of money and cannot with due diligence be wholly cured within such 10 day period, if Tenant shall fail to proceed promptly to cure the same or shall thereafter fail to prosecute the curing of such default with due diligence), Landlord, without prejudice to any other rights which it may have with respect to such default, may remedy such default and the cost thereof to Landlord plus an administration fee of 15% together with interest at the Interest Rate thereon from the date such cost was incurred by Landlord until repaid by Tenant shall be treated as Additional Rent and added to the Rent due on the next succeeding date

- 29 -

on which Basic Rent is payable. Notwithstanding the above, if the nature of the default is such that it can be wholly cured in less than 10 days, then Landlord’s Notice shall stipulate such reasonable lesser period, and if the default is not remedied within the time period set out, Landlord may remedy the default as set out above. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss, injury or damages caused by acts of Landlord in remedying or attempting to remedy any default of Tenant.

12.2

Re-Entry

It is a condition of this Lease that when:

Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent, whether lawfully demanded or not;

Tenant is in default of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements under this Lease (other than its covenant to pay Rent) and such default has continued for a period of 10 consecutive days (or such shorter period set out in Landlord’s Notice as may be reasonable in the circumstances) after Notice by Landlord to Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity the nature of such default and requiring the same to be remedied, or, if by reason of the nature thereof, such default cannot be cured by the payment of money and cannot with due diligence be wholly cured within such 10 day period, if Tenant has failed to proceed promptly to cure the same or has thereafter failed to prosecute the curing of such failure with due diligence;

an execution is issued against any property of Tenant or any guarantor or indemnifier of this Lease and remains outstanding for more than 10 days, or any receiver of any property of Tenant or any guarantor or indemnifier of this Lease is appointed, or Tenant or any guarantor or indemnifier of this Lease becomes insolvent or makes application for relief from creditors under the provisions of any statute now or hereafter in force or, under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, files a notice of intention or a proposal, makes an assignment in bankruptcy, has a receiving order made against it or otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or any action, steps or proceedings whatever, are taken with a view to the winding up, dissolution or liquidation of Tenant or any guarantor or indemnifier of this Lease, or with a view to the restructuring or compromise of any debt or other obligation of Tenant or any guarantor or indemnifier of this Lease;

any insurance policy is cancelled or not renewed by any insurer by reason of any particular use or occupation of the Premises;

the Premises have been abandoned, or have become vacant or have remained unoccupied for a period of 5 consecutive Business Days without the consent of Landlord or the Premises have been used or occupied by any other person or persons other than Tenant or any person permitted by Part 9 hereof; or

Tenant or any Related Corporation is in default of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements under any lease or other written agreement between it and Landlord (as owner or as manager) or any company which is a Related Corporation to Landlord and such default shall have continued for such period of time that Landlord’s (or such Related Corporation) remedies have become exercisable thereunder;

a receiver, interim receiver, trustee, liquidator or a receiver and manager is appointed for all or part of Tenant Property or business or of an Indemnifier’s, occupant’s, licensee’s, concessionaire’s or franchisee’s property or business; or

Tenant makes a bulk sale of its goods or moves or commences, attempts or threatens to move its goods, chattels and equipment out of the Premises (other than in the normal course of its business) or Tenant ceases to conduct business from the Premises;

.10

Tenant purports to effect a Transfer other than in compliance with the provisions of this Lease; or

.11

termination of this Lease by Landlord is permitted under any other part of this Lease or in law;

- 30 -

then, and in any of such cases, the then current month’s Rent together with the Rent for the three (3) months next ensuing shall immediately become due and payable, and at the option of Landlord the Term shall become forfeited and void, and Landlord without notice or any form of legal process whatever may forthwith re-enter the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and repossess the same as of its former estate, anything contained in any statute or law to the contrary notwithstanding. Landlord may expel all persons and remove all property from the Premises and such property may be removed and sold or disposed of by Landlord as it deems advisable without Notice to Tenant or may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant without Landlord being considered guilty of trespass or conversion or becoming liable for any loss or damages which may be occasioned thereby, provided, however, that such forfeiture shall be wholly without prejudice to the right of Landlord to recover arrears of rent and damages for any antecedent default by Tenant of its covenants under this Lease. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease by reason of any such event, then, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur as a result of such termination.

Notwithstanding any termination of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to receive Rent and Rental Tax up to the time of termination plus accelerated rent as herein provided and damages including but not limited to:

.12

damages for the loss of Rent and Rental Tax suffered by reason of this Lease having been prematurely terminated;

.13

the costs of reclaiming, repairing and re-leasing the Premises; and

solicitor’s fees and disbursements on a solicitor and his client basis.

12.3

Right to Distrain

Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have the right to distrain for any arrears of Rent without notice to Tenant, in addition to the other rights reserved to it. For such purpose Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises as agent of Tenant either by force or otherwise without being liable for any prosecution therefor and to take possession of any goods and chattels whatever on the Premises, and to sell the same at public or private sale and apply the proceeds of such sale on account of the Rent or in satisfaction of the breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement of Tenant under this Lease and Tenant shall remain liable for the deficiency, if any. Notwithstanding anything contained in any statute concerning commercial tenancies in the province in which the Building is located, (the “Act”) or any successor legislation or other statute which may hereafter be passed to take the place of the said Act or to amend the same, none of the goods and chattels of Tenant at any time during the continuance of the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for Rent and Tenant hereby waives all and every benefit that it could or might have under such Act. Upon any claim being made for such exemption by Tenant, or on distress being made by Landlord, this provision may be pleaded as an estoppel against Tenant in any action brought to test the right to the levying of distress upon any such goods.

In exercising its right to distrain, Landlord in addition to the rights reserved to it shall have the right:

to enter the Premises by force or otherwise without being liable for any prosecution therefor;

to change the locks on the Premises in order to prevent the removal by Tenant or any other person of the goods and chattels which are being distrained without thereby re-entering the Premises or terminating this Lease; and

to levy distress after sunset and before sunrise.

12.4

Landlord May Follow Chattels

In case of removal by Tenant of the goods or chattels of Tenant from the Premises, Landlord may follow the same for 30 days in the same manner as is provided for in the Act or any successor legislation or other statute which may hereafter be passed to take the place of the Act or to amend the same.

- 31 -

12.5

Rights Cumulative

The rights and remedies given to Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative, and no one of them, whether or not exercised by Landlord shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other rights or remedies provided in this Lease or by law or in equity.

12.6

Acceptance of Rent Non-Waiver

No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term, or affect any notice previously given to enforce the payment of Rent then due or thereafter falling due or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to recover possession of the Premises by proper action, proceeding or other remedy; it being agreed that, after the service of a Notice to cancel or terminate this Lease and after the commencement of any action, proceeding or other remedy, or after a final order or judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any monies due, or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such Notice, action, proceeding, order or judgment; and any and all such monies so collected shall be deemed payments on account of the use and occupation of the Premises or at the election of Landlord on account of Tenant’s liability hereunder.

12.7

Default Costs

Tenant shall pay Landlord’s then current reasonable administration charge for each Notice of default given by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall pay and indemnify Landlord against damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and his own client basis) incurred in enforcing the terms of this Lease, or with respect to any matter or thing which is the obligation of Tenant under this Lease, or in respect of which Tenant has agreed to insure or to indemnify Landlord.

PART 13 - ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

13.1

Landlord Default

If Landlord is in default, Tenant shall not have or exercise any right or remedy with respect thereto unless such default continues for 30 days or such longer period as may be reasonably required in the circumstances to cure such default after Notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying reasonable details of the default and requiring it to be remedied.

13.2

Relocation

Tenant agrees that, despite any other provision of this Lease, Landlord has the right at any time and from time to time before or during the Term to rearrange the Premises or to change the location of the Premises to comparable space in the Building having approximately the same Rentable Area as the Premises and having comparable Leasehold Improvements in similar condition as those contained in the Premises. Tenant agrees to surrender and vacate the Premises and move to such other premises not later than 60 days following Landlord’s Notice to Tenant requiring Tenant to relocate failing which Tenant shall be deemed to be overholding in the Premises. If Landlord exercises its right to rearrange the Premises or change its location, the appropriate modifications will be made to the Basic Information and, if appropriate, the Basic Rent will be adjusted. Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this section does not constitute a re-entry or a breach of Landlord’s covenant for quiet enjoyment contained in this Lease or implied by law. If Landlord exercises its right to rearrange the Premises or to change the location of the Premises after the date on which Landlord delivers Notice to Tenant that the Premises are ready for installation of Leasehold Improvements, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for the direct costs it reasonably incurs because of the rearrangement or relocation of the Premises upon Tenant providing Landlord with receipted invoices. In addition, Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, will complete the installation of the Leasehold Improvements in the relocated premises to a comparable, quality, layout and standard as the Premises at the time of Landlord exercising its right to relocate herein, and Landlord shall coordinate Tenant’s move from the Premises to the relocated premises with minimal interruption to Tenant’s business operations. In no case will Tenant be reimbursed or compensated for any indirect costs whatsoever including, without limitation, overhead, overtime charges or loss of profits and Tenant will minimize costs by re-using all fixtures, equipment and Trade Fixtures from the Premises where it is feasible to do so. Landlord also reserves the right to rearrange any demising walls for purposes of providing required fire or emergency corridors or of otherwise complying with law and the requirements of Authorities from time to time.

- 32 -

13.3

Demolition

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord intends to demolish, renovate, remodel or alter the Building to such an extent that Landlord requires possession of the Premises, then Landlord, upon giving Tenant 180 days Notice, shall have the right to terminate this Lease and this Lease shall expire on the expiration of 180 days from the date of giving of such Notice without compensation of any kind to Tenant.

13.4

Redevelopment

Landlord may construct improvements or renovate existing improvements on the Lands or on any adjacent land, may renovate the Building and may add storeys to the Building. Neither the construction, renovation or demolition by Landlord or any other person of any improvement on either the Lands or any land adjacent thereto or on or within the Building, nor the noise, dust, vibration or other inconvenience or the reduction of light, air or view occasioned by such renovation, construction or demolition shall affect the obligations of Tenant or result in any liability of Landlord. In the course of exercising its rights hereunder, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts acting in a diligent manner to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business from the Premises.

13.5

Effect of Termination

The expiry or termination of this Lease whether by elapse of time or by the exercise of any right of either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be without prejudice to the right of Landlord to recover arrears of rent and to recover damages for an antecedent default by Tenant.

PART 14 - TRANSFERS BY LANDLORD

A sale, conveyance or assignment of the Lands and the Building will operate to release Landlord from all liability from and after the effective date thereof upon all of the covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease, express or implied, except as such may relate to the period prior to such effective date, and Tenant will thereafter look solely to Landlord’s successors in interest in and to this Lease. This Lease will not be affected by any such sale, conveyance or assignment, and Tenant will attorn to Landlord’s successor in interest thereunder.

14.3

Subordination

Unless this Lease is required by Mortgagee or by Landlord to be registered (by notice, caveat or otherwise) in priority to any such Mortgage, this Lease and the rights of Tenant in this Lease shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to any and all Mortgages, now or hereafter placed on the Building or Lands, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.

14.4

Attornment

Subject to section 14.5 and at any time after any of the following has occurred:

if a Mortgagee delivers a Notice of attornment;

if a Mortgagee shall take possession of the Building or the Premises; or

if the interest of Landlord is transferred to any Person including, without limitation, a Mortgagee (in this Article such person is referred to as a “Purchaser”) by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of any Mortgage including obtaining possession by a Mortgagee, or by delivery of a conveyance,

- 33 -

Tenant shall, at the option of the Mortgagee or the Purchaser, as the case may be, exercisable by Notice in writing to Tenant, be deemed to have attorned to the Mortgagee or the Purchaser, as the case may be, upon receipt of such Notice. Landlord, the Mortgagee or the Purchaser, as the case may be, may require Tenant to enter into such instruments required by Landlord, the Mortgagee or the Purchaser, as the case may be, to confirm such attornment. Upon such attornment the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall continue in full force and effect upon all the same terms, conditions and covenants in this Lease.

14.5

Nondisturbance

No attornment by Tenant under section 14.4 will be effective unless and until, Purchaser delivers to Tenant a written undertaking, binding upon Purchaser and enforceable by and for the benefit of Tenant, that despite such enforcement proceedings and transfer this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder, will continue undisturbed while Tenant is not in default of this Lease.

14.6

Effect of Attornment

Upon attornment under section 14.4 this Lease will continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Purchaser and Tenant, upon all of the same terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease except that, after such attornment, Purchaser will not be

liable for any act or omission of Landlord prior to such attornment, or

subject to any offsets or defences which Tenant might have against Landlord prior to such attornment, or

bound by any prepayment by Tenant of more than one month’s installment of Rent, or by any previous modification of this Lease, unless such prepayment or modification will have been approved in writing by Purchaser.

14.7

Execution of Instruments

Except as otherwise provided herein, the subordination and attornment provisions of this Part 14 will be self-operating and except as set out in section 14.5 no further instrument will be required. Nevertheless Tenant, on request by and without cost to Landlord or any successor in interest shall, within five (5) Business Days after such request, execute and deliver any and all instruments required by Landlord to evidence such subordination and (where applicable hereunder) attornment.

PART 15 - MISCELLANEOUS

15.1

Tenant agrees that within 10 days after a written request therefor, it shall execute and deliver to Landlord or to such person as may be identified in the written request (but in no event more than twice in any year) a written Statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect (or if modified stating the modifications and that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified), the amount of the Basic Rent and the date to which it as well as all other charges under this Lease have been paid, whether or not there is any existing default on the part of Landlord or Tenant of which Tenant is aware and giving as well such further information as the person requesting the certificate shall reasonably require.

15.2

Rights of Mortgagees

If at any time during the currency of a Mortgage of the interest of Landlord in the Premises or Building, Notice of which has been given to Tenant, Landlord shall be in default under this Lease and such default would give rise to a right in Tenant to terminate this Lease, Tenant, before becoming entitled as against the holder of such Mortgage to exercise any right to terminate this Lease, shall give to such Mortgagee Notice of such default. Such Mortgagee shall have 60 days after the giving of such Notice, or such longer period as may be reasonable in the circumstances, within which to remedy such default, and if such default is remedied within such time Tenant shall not by reason thereof terminate this Lease. The rights and privileges granted to any such Mortgagee by virtue of this section shall not be deemed to alter, affect or prejudice any of the rights and remedies available to Tenant as against Landlord.

- 34 -

15.3

Joint and Several Liability

If two or more individuals, corporations, partnerships or other business associations (or any combination of two or more thereof) sign this Lease as Tenant, the liability of each such individual, corporation, partnership or other business association to pay Rent and to perform all other obligations hereunder shall be deemed to be joint and several. In like manner, if Tenant is a partnership or other business association, the members of which are, by virtue of statute or general law, subject to personal liability, the liability of each such member shall be joint and several. Tenant warrants and represents that it is duly formed and in good standing, and has full corporate or partnership authority, if applicable and as the case may be, to enter into this Lease, and has taken all corporate or partnership action, if applicable and as the case may be, necessary to make this Lease a valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Landlord and Tenant Relationship

No provision of this Lease is intended to nor creates a joint venture or partnership or any other similar relationship between Landlord and Tenant, it being agreed that the only relationship created by this Lease is that of landlord and tenant.

15.5

No Waiver

No condoning or waiver by either Landlord or Tenant of any default or breach by the other at any time or times in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed or observed by the other shall be deemed to operate as a waiver of Landlord’s or Tenant’s rights under this Lease, as the case may be, in respect of any continuing or subsequent default or breach nor so as to defeat or affect in any way the rights or remedies of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease, as the case may be, in respect of any such continuing or subsequent default or breach. Unless expressly waived in writing, the failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist in any case upon the strict performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease to be performed or observed by the other shall not be deemed to operate as a waiver of the future strict performance or observance of such terms, covenants and conditions.

15.6

Expropriation

Landlord and Tenant shall co-operate in respect of any expropriation of all or any part of the Premises or the Lands and Building so that each party may receive the maximum award to which it is entitled in law. If the whole or any part of the Premises or of the Lands and Building are expropriated, as between the parties hereto, their respective rights and obligations under this Lease shall continue until the day on which the expropriating authority takes possession thereof. If, in the case of partial expropriation of the Premises this Lease is not frustrated by operation of governing law and such expropriation does not render the remaining part of the Premises untenantable for the purposes of this Lease, Tenant and Landlord shall restore the part not so taken in accordance with their respective repair obligations under the provisions of Part 7 of this Lease. In this section the word “expropriation” shall include a sale by Landlord to any authority with powers of expropriation, in lieu of or under threat of expropriation.

15.7

Such Notice, if delivered or sent by facsimile, shall be conclusively deemed to have been given and received at the time of such delivery or the time of sending by facsimile, in either case, unless received on a non-Business Day, or after 5:00 p.m. in which event such Notice shall be deemed to have been given and received on the next Business Day. If in this Lease two or more persons are named as Tenant, such Notice shall be delivered personally to any one of such persons. If a copy of any Notice to Tenant is to be sent to a second address or to another person other than Tenant, the failure to give any such copy shall not vitiate the delivery of a Notice to Tenant. Provided that either party may, by Notice to the other, from time to time designate another address in Canada to which Notices given more than 10 days thereafter shall be addressed. Any Notice to be given by Landlord may be signed and given by Landlord or by the Manager.
