Monthly
Payments of Additional Rent

Landlord
may from time to time by written notice to Tenant estimate or re-estimate any
amount(s) payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder including without limitation,
amounts in respect of Operating Costs, Realty Taxes and utilities, for the then
current or next following Fiscal Year, provided that the fiscal period used by
Landlord in respect of any particular item may correspond to a shorter period
within any Fiscal Year where such item, for example Realty Taxes, is payable in
full by Landlord over such shorter period. The amounts so estimated shall be
payable by Tenant in advance in equal monthly instalments over the Fiscal Year
or other fiscal period on the same days as the monthly payments of Basic Rent.
Landlord may, from time to time, alter the fiscal period selected in each case.
As soon as practical after the expiration of each Fiscal Year, Landlord shall
furnish to Tenant an audited statement which sets out the total amount of
Operating Costs and Realty Taxes for the Project, together with a statement
(“Final Statement”) which sets out the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating
Costs, its share of Realty Taxes and the cost of its utilities and other charges
that are payable by it under any other relevant provisions of this Lease for
such Fiscal Year. Upon written request from Tenant (Tenant agreeing to act
reasonably and in a bona fide manner in making a request), Landlord shall, at
Tenant’s expense, provide Tenant with reasonable information within Landlord’s
possession or control in order to assist Xxxxxx in substantiating Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and its share of Realty Taxes, provided
that Tenant makes its request within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Final
Statement. If the amount determined to be payable by Tenant as aforesaid shall
be greater or less than the payments on account thereof previously made by
Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Final Statement the
appropriate adjustments will be made and Tenant shall pay any deficiency to
Landlord and, if Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease, the
amount of any overpayment shall be paid to Tenant or credited to the account of
Tenant. Such Final Statement of Landlord shall be final and binding and Tenant
shall have no right to dispute the accuracy or propriety of any amounts or
calculations included therein, except to the extent that Tenant shall have,
within sixty (60) days after being given such Final Statement, demonstrated to
the satisfaction of Landlord any error in such Final Statement.

|
Tenant
shall not assign this Lease in whole or in part and shall not sublet or
part with or share possession of all or any part of the Premises and shall
not grant any licences or other rights to others to use any portion of the
Premises (all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as a
“Transfer”; a party making a Transfer is referred to as a “Transferor” and
a party taking a Transfer is referred to as a “Transferee”) without the
prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
shall be entitled to arbitrarily or unreasonably withhold its consent to
any Transfer in respect of which Landlord exercises its right to terminate
this Lease, or to take a Transfer of the Premises or any portion thereof,
pursuant to Section 14.3. The provisions of this Article 14 shall apply to
any Transfer which might occur by inheritance or operation of
law.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Notwithstanding
and without in any way affecting or limiting the interpretation of the
foregoing, it is agreed that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to
withhold its consent to a Transfer unless it is shown to Landlord’s
satisfaction that: (i) the proposed Transferee has a good business and
personal reputation; (ii) the proposed Transferee or its principal
shareholders has not been bankrupt or the holder of twenty (20%) percent or more
of the issued shares of any class of shares of a corporation or of an
interest in a partnership, either of which has been bankrupt in the ten
(10) years preceding the date of the proposed Transfer; (iii) the proposed
Transferee has good financial strength at least equal to that of Tenant at
the date of this Lease, and at least sufficient to satisfy all of the
obligations of Tenant hereunder; (iv) the proposed Transferee is not an
existing occupant of any part of the Project; (v) the proposed Transferee
has not then recently been a prospect involved in bona fide negotiations
with Landlord respecting the leasing of any premises in the Project and is
not in any way affiliated with such bona fide prospect; (vi) the Transfer
would not result in a breach of any agreement by which Landlord is bound
with respect to any part of the Project; and (vii) without affecting the
interpretation of Section 8.1 or any other provision hereof, the business
proposed to be carried on by the Transferee on the Premises will not be
incompatible with the uses of other tenants of the Project, and will not
be more burdensome on the Project, in terms of parking requirements or any
other factor, than the business previously carried on by Tenant on the
Premises.
|
- 21

|
|
(c)
|
If
Landlord withholds, delays or refuses to give consent to any Transfer,
whether or not Landlord is entitled to do so, Landlord shall not be liable
for any losses or damages in any way resulting therefrom and Tenant shall
not be entitled to terminate this Lease or exercise any other remedy
whatever in respect thereof except to seek the order of a court of
competent jurisdiction compelling Landlord to grant any such consent which
Landlord is obliged to grant pursuant to the terms of this
Lease.
|
|
|
(d)

No
Transfer may be made where any portion of Rent is lower than that provided

Obtaining
Consent
|
All
requests to Landlord for consent to any Transfer shall be made to Landlord in
writing together with a copy of the agreement pursuant to which the proposed

the request for consent including legal costs and all costs of completing any
documentation to implement any Transfer, which shall be prepared by Landlord or
its solicitor if required by Landlord, and as a prior condition to considering
any request for consent Landlord may require from Tenant payment of a reasonable
deposit, of at least Six Hundred ($600.00) Dollars, on account of Landlord’s
said costs.
|
14.3
|
Landlord’s
Option
|
Notwithstanding
the other provisions contained in this Article 14, after Xxxxxxxx receives a
request for consent to a Transfer with the information and copy of agreement
hereinabove required, it shall have the option, to be exercised by written
notice to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such request,
information, deposit and agreement to: (a) to terminate this Lease as it relates
to the portion of the Premises which is the subject of the proposed Transfer
(“Transferred Premises”) effective as of the date on which the proposed Transfer
was to have occurred; or (b) take a Transfer from Tenant of the Transferred
Premises on the same terms as the Transfer in respect of which Xxxxxx has
requested Xxxxxxxx’s consent, as aforesaid. If Landlord gives Tenant notice
either electing to terminate this Lease or to take a Transfer of the Transferred
Premises, as aforesaid, Tenant shall have the right, to be exercised by written
notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of such Xxxxxxxx’s notice,
to withdraw the request for consent to the Transfer, in which case Tenant shall
not proceed with such Transfer, the Landlord’s notice shall be null and void and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If, pursuant to this Section
14.3, Landlord terminates this Lease as it relates to a portion of the Premises
or takes a Transfer of a portion of the Premises, Tenant hereby grants to
Landlord and any others entitled to use the same, to use for their intended
purposes all portions of the Premises in the nature of common areas (such as
corridors, washrooms, lobbies and the like), or which are reasonably required
for proper access to or use of the Transferred Premises (such as reception
areas, interior corridors, mechanical or electrical systems and ducts and the
like).
|
14.4
|

collect a deposit or further deposit to be held as a security deposit
pursuant to Section 16.6 such that the security deposit held by Landlord
shall be equivalent to at least the Basic Rent payable for the last two
(2) months of the Term in respect of the premises which are the subject of
the Transfer;
|
|
|
(b)
|
to
require Tenant and the Transferee to enter into a written agreement to

hereunder;
|
|
|
(c)
|
to
require the Transferee to enter into an agreement with Landlord in writing
and under seal to be bound by all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease
in respect of the Transferred Premises, and to waive any right it, or any
person on its behalf, may have to disclaim, repudiate or terminate this
Lease pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other
creditors’ proceeding, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act
(Canada) or the Companies’ Creditors
Arrangement Act (Canada), and to agree that in the event of any
such proceeding Landlord will comprise a separate class for voting
purposes;
|
- 22
-
|
|
(d)
|
to
receive all amounts to be paid to Tenant under the agreement in respect of
such Transfer less only any consideration which is bona fide being paid to
Tenant for equipment, furnishings and other property to be conveyed by
Xxxxxx as part of or together with the transaction of Transfer and which
is not reasonably attributable to Xxxxxx’s interest in this Lease and
less, in the case of a sublease, all amounts receivable by Tenant under
the sublease equal to the amounts payable by Tenant hereunder each month
during the term of the sublease in respect of the Transferred
Premises;
|
|
|
(e)
|
to
require the Transferee to waive any right it, or any person on its behalf,
may have to disclaim, repudiate or terminate this Lease pursuant to any
bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other creditors’ proceedings, and to
waive any rights, pursuant to Sections 21 or 39(2) of the Commercial Tenancies Act
(Ontario) R.S.O. 1990, c, L7 and any amendments thereto and any
other statutory provisions of the same or similar effect, to pay Rent less
than any amount payable hereunder;
|
|
|
(f)
|
to
require, if the Transfer is a sublease or other transaction other than an
assignment, that upon notice from Landlord to the Transferee all amounts
payable by the Transferee each month shall be paid directly to Landlord
who shall apply the same on account of Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease;
|
|
|
(g)
|
to
require that this Lease be amended to delete therefrom any right of
renewal and any option or right of first refusal to purchase the
Premises.

14.5
|
Effect
of Transfer
|
|
|
(a)
|
No
consent of Landlord to a Transfer shall be effective unless given in
writing and executed by Landlord and no such consent shall be presumed by
any act or omission of Landlord or by Xxxxxxxx’s failure to respond to any
request for consent or by Xxxxxxxx’s accepting any payment of any amount
payable hereunder from any party other than Xxxxxx. No Transfer and no
consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall constitute a waiver of the
necessity to obtain Landlord’s consent to any subsequent or other
Transfer.
|
|
|
(b)
|
In
the event of any Transfer or any consent by Landlord to any Transfer,
Tenant shall not thereby be released from any of its obligations hereunder
but shall remain bound by all such obligations pursuant to this Lease for
the balance of the Term. If this Lease is renewed or extended by any
Transferee or if any Transferee exercises a right to lease additional
premises, pursuant to any right of Tenant contained in this Lease, each
Transferor shall be liable for all of the obligations of Tenant throughout
the Term as renewed or extended.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Every
Transferee shall be obliged to comply with all of the obligations of
Tenant under this Lease, and any default of any Transferee shall also
constitute a default of Tenant hereunder. If this Lease is ever
disclaimed, repudiated or terminated by or on behalf of a Transferee
pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other creditors’
proceeding, including, without limitation, any proceeding under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act
(Canada) or the Companies’ Creditors
Arrangement Act (Canada), or if this Lease is ever terminated by
Landlord as a result of any act or default of any Transferee, Tenant shall
nevertheless remain responsible for fulfilment of all obligations of
Tenant hereunder for what would have been the balance of the Term but for
such disclaimer, repudiation or termination, and shall upon Landlord’s
request enter into a new lease of the Premises for such balance of the
Term and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as in this
Lease.
|
14.6 No
Advertising of Premises
Tenant
shall not advertise this Lease or all or any part of the Premises or the
business or fixtures or contents therein for sale without Landlord’s prior
written consent.

restrictions on Transfer as aforesaid shall apply to any assigning, subletting,
mortgaging, charging or otherwise transferring of the Premises or this Lease for
the purpose of securing any obligation of Tenant.

If
Tenant or any occupant of the Premises at any time is a corporation, no:
(I) transfer of the issued shares in the capital stock or transfer,
issuance or division of any shares of the corporation or of any affiliate
of the corporation sufficient to transfer control to others than the then
present shareholders of the corporation (collectively called “Sale”); or
(II) merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other corporate restructuring
or reorganization (collectively called “Reorganization”) shall take place,
without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, not to be
unreasonably withheld. Upon request, Tenant shall make the corporate books
and records of Tenant and of any affiliate of Tenant available to Landlord
and its representatives for inspection in order to ascertain whether or
not there has been any Sale or Reorganization. Tenant acknowledges that,
in addition to Landlord’s rights under this Lease and at Law to withhold
consent to any Transfer, Landlord may withhold consent to any Sale or
Reorganization unless it is shown to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction
that the financial strength of Tenant will not be adversely affected by
such Sale or Reorganization.
|
|
|
(b)
|
This
Section shall not apply to a Sale by Tenant if and as long as Tenant is in
occupancy of the Premises and is a corporation whose shares are listed and
traded on any recognized public stock exchange in Canada or the United
States.
|
|
14.9
|
Assignment
by Landlord
|
If
Landlord sells, leases, mortgages or otherwise disposes of the Project or any
part thereof or assigns its interest in this Lease, to the extent that the
purchaser or assignee agrees with Landlord to assume the covenants and
obligations of Landlord hereunder, Landlord shall thereupon be released from all
liability pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

if the default could not, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be
remedied within fifteen (15) days after notice and provided Tenant has
commenced to remedy such failure not later than five (5) days after notice
and proceeds thereafter to diligently and continuously remedy it, the
number of days shall be extended to that number of days which would in the

Remedies
to Subsist

as a result of any condoning, overlooking or delay by Landlord in respect of any
default by Tenant or by any other act or omission of Landlord including, without
limitation, the acceptance of any Rent less than the full amount thereof or the
acceptance of any Rent after the occurrence of any default by Tenant. The waiver
by Landlord of any default of Tenant or of any rights of Landlord, which shall
be effected only by an express written waiver executed by Landlord, shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any term, covenant or condition in respect of which
such default or right has been waived and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any subsequent default of Tenant or right of Landlord. All rights and remedies
of Landlord under this Lease and at law shall be cumulative and not alternative,
and the exercise by Landlord of any of its rights pursuant to this Lease or at
law shall at all times be without prejudice to any other rights of Landlord,

Impossibility
of Performance
|

the extent that either Landlord or Tenant shall be delayed in the fulfillment of
any obligation under this Lease, other than the payment by Tenant of any Rent,
by reason of unavailability of material, equipment, utilities, services or by
reason of any Laws, or by reason of any other similar cause beyond its control
and not avoidable by the exercise of reasonable foresight (excluding the
inability to pay for the performance of such obligation), then the party being
delayed shall be entitled to extend the time for fulfillment of such obligation
by a time equal to the duration of such delay and the other party shall not be
entitled to any compensation for any loss or inconvenience occasioned thereby.
The party delayed will, however, use its best efforts to fulfill the obligation
in question as soon as is reasonably practicable by arranging an alternate
method of providing the work, services or materials.

including the Premises and any of the Common Facilities (any of
which are herein referred to as “Changes”) as Landlord shall consider
desirable, including the construction of additional floors in the
Building. If Landlord makes any Changes to the Premises, including
relocation of the Premises, Landlord shall ensure that the
Premises, as affected by such Changes, shall be substantially the same in
size and shall be in all other material respects reasonably comparable to
the Premises originally demised hereby. If the Premises are relocated as a
result of such Changes, Landlord shall be responsible for the direct cost
of moving Tenant to the relocated Premises and constructing
replacement leasehold improvements therein, but not for any
indirect costs or losses of Tenant. Tenant shall not have the right to
object to or make any claim on account of the exercise by Landlord of any
of its rights under this Section 17.2, except that Tenant shall be
entitled to an abatement of Basic Rent for any period of time in excess of
ten (10) consecutive days that Xxxxxx is unable to conduct business in the
Premises as a result of the making of such Changes. Landlord shall make
any such Changes as expeditiously as is reasonably possible and so as to
interfere as little as is reasonably possible with Xxxxxx’s business on
the Premises.

Tenant
acknowledges that portions of the Project may be under construction during
the Term, and that such construction activities may cause temporary noise
and disturbance to existing tenants of the Project. Landlord will use
reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Xxxxxx’s occupation of
the Premises as a result of such construction activities, but Tenant
acknowledges that in no event shall any noise or other disturbance caused
by such construction constitute a breach of Tenant’s right to quiet
enjoyment of the Premises.

|
17.3
|
Use

|
Tenant

takes possession of all or any portion of the
Project.

Space”)
|
whenever
such space becomes available for re-leasing from time to time by the Landlord,
after the termination, surrender or expiry of the existing leases of such space
to occur following the date of the Lease or the leases of tenants relocated to
all or a portion of the ROFO Space (it being hereby acknowledged that, as of the
date hereof, the Second ROFO Space is currently available for lease and that
despite the foregoing, the Landlord shall be entitled to enter into a lease with
a third party for the ROFO Space or any part thereof at any time, from time to
time, until the whole of the ROFO Space is leased, without triggering the within
right of first offer) have expired or been terminated either by the tenant
(pursuant to any rights of termination it may have under its lease)
or by the Landlord (as a result of an event of default) and after any options to
renew or extend the ROFO Space granted to such tenant(s) under the
terms of such lease(s) have not been exercised or have expired. Further, if any
such tenant(s) either fail(s), or elect(s) not, to exercise its option to renew
or extend or if such tenant(s) do(es) not have an option to renew or extend
contained in its lease for the ROFO Space, Landlord shall, despite anything
contained in this Section 4 to the contrary, be free to enter into an agreement
with such tenant(s) extending the term of its lease for the ROFO Space without
triggering the within right of first offer.
In the
event that ROFO Space becomes available the Landlord shall provide the Tenant
with written notice (“Landlord’s Notice”), specifying what space is available
(i.e. either the whole or any part of the ROFO Space, as the case may
be) (“Available ROFO Space”) and the availability date for the Available
ROFO Space and the Tenant shall have ten (10) business days from
receipt of the Landlord’s Notice within which to deliver written notice (“ROFO
Notice”) to the Landlord of its agreement to lease the whole of the Available
ROFO Space on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Lease for the
Premises save and except that: (a) there shall be no Landlord’s Work, rent free
period or other financial inducements; (b) the basic rent payable for the
Available ROFO Space shall be ROFO Market Rent (“ROFO Market Rent” means the
annual basic rental which could reasonably be obtained by Landlord for the
Available ROFO Space from a willing tenant or willing tenants dealing at arms’
length with Landlord in the market prevailing for a term commencing on the
commencement date of the term of lease for the Available ROFO Space, having
regard to all relevant circumstances including the size and location of the
Available ROFO Space, the facilities afforded, the terms of the lease thereof
(including its provisions for Additional Rent), the terms aforesaid regarding
tenant inducements, the condition of the Available ROFO Space and the use of the
Available ROFO Space, and having regard to rentals currently being obtained for
space in the Building and for comparable space in other buildings comparably
located, and inducements being offered to tenants (including rent free periods,
allowances and other inducements); (c) the commencement date shall be as
specified by the Landlord in the Landlord’s Notice, and (d) the expiration date
shall be coterminous with the expiry date of the Lease, failing which this right
of first offer shall be null and void with respect to the Available ROFO Space
and the Landlord shall be free to lease the Available ROFO Space or any part
thereof to a third party on such terms and conditions as the Landlord, in its
sole discretion, determines and this right of first offer shall only apply to
the balance of the ROFO Space. For greater certainty, if the ROFO Market Rent is
not agreed upon between the parties within thirty (30) days of the delivery of
the Landlord’s Notice, the ROFO Market Rent shall be established in the manner
set out in Section 5 below and, in such event, there shall be no delay to the
commencement date of the Available ROFO Space as set forth in the Landlord’s
Notice and, until such time as the ROFO Market Rent is determined, the Tenant
shall pay to the Landlord the Basic Rent then payable hereunder for the
Premises, as applicable to the Available ROFO Space, and upon determination of
the ROFO Market Rent for the Available ROFO Space, either Landlord shall pay to
Tenant any excess, or Tenant shall pay to Landlord any deficiency, in the
payments of Basic Rent previously made by Tenant with respect to the Available
ROFO Space, without interest.
- 2
-
The
Tenant shall execute an agreement (to be prepared by the Landlord) amending the
provisions of the Lease in order to incorporate the terms of the
foregoing.
Any
Available ROFO Space which is made available to the Tenant under this Section 4
shall be dealt with as a whole.
|

|
ROFO Market
Rent
|
Either
Landlord or Tenant (the “Requesting Party”) shall be entitled to notify the
other party hereto (the “Receiving Party”) of the name of an expert for the
purpose of determining the ROFO Market Rent. Within fifteen (15) days after such
notice from the Requesting Party, the Receiving Party shall notify the
Requesting Party either approving the expert proposed by the Requesting Party or
naming another expert for the purpose of determining the ROFO Market Rent.
Should the Receiving Party fail to give notice to the Requesting Party within
the said fifteen (15) day period, the expert named in the notice given by the
Requesting Party shall perform the expert’s functions hereinafter set forth. If
Landlord and Xxxxxx are unable to agree upon the selection of the expert within
fifteen (15) days after such notice from the Receiving Party to the Requesting
Party, then either party shall be entitled to apply to a court to appoint an
expert in the same manner as an arbitrator may be appointed by a court under the
Arbitration Act, 1991
(Ontario), as amended or replaced. The expert appointed, either by
Xxxxxxxx and/or Tenant or by a court, shall be qualified by education,
experience and training to value real estate for rental purposes in the Province
of Ontario and have been ordinarily engaged in the valuation of real property in
the municipality in which the Project is located for at least the immediately
preceding five (5) years. Within thirty (30) days after being appointed the
expert shall make a determination of the Market Rent for the ROFO Space, without
receiving evidence from either Landlord or Tenant. The cost of such
determination shall be borne by the Tenant. The determination of the expert as
to the ROFO Market Rent shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant
and not subject to appeal.

Spaces, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, whether or not Tenant actually uses the
Parking Spaces or any of them, the prevailing monthly rates charged from time to

and unreserved Parking Spaces respectively. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, there shall be no licence fee payable by Tenant to
Landlord or Landlord’s parking operator for Tenant’s use of the Parking Spaces
in the Parking Facility during the initial Term only, but, for greater
certainty, Tenant shall be responsible for payment to Landlord of its
Proportionate Share or share, as of the case may be, of Operating Costs and
Realty Taxes associated with the Parking Facility.
|
|
(b)
|
Tenant
shall ensure that Landlord is at all times in possession of up-to-date

automobile authorized to use such Parking
Spaces.
|
- 3

|
|
(c)
|
Landlord
may from time to time make and amend such rules and regulations for the
management and operation of the Parking Facility as Landlord shall
determine and Tenant and all persons under its control, including without
limitation all users of the Parking Spaces, shall be bound by and shall
comply with all of such rules and regulations of which notice is given to
Tenant from time to time and all of such rules and regulations shall be
deemed to be incorporated into and form a part of the
Lease.
|
|
|
(d)
|
For
emphasis only, and without affecting or limiting the meaning of any
provision of the Lease, it is agreed that the following sections of the
Lease apply to the rights granted to Tenant hereunder in respect of the
Parking Spaces, namely Sections 13.5 (“Landlord’s Non-Liability”) and 13.6
(“Indemnity of Landlord”).
|
|
|
(e)
|
If
Tenant or any person permitted by Tenant to use any of the Parking Spaces
fails to comply with the provisions of the Lease in respect of the Parking
Spaces, including without limitation the rules and regulations from time
to time applicable to the Parking Facility, then Landlord shall have the
right to terminate or suspend the privileges of the offending party to use
the Parking Facility, provided that the exercise of such right by Landlord
shall not limit or affect the obligation of Tenant hereunder to pay for
all Parking Spaces.
|
|
|
(f)
|
No
motor vehicle other than a private passenger automobile, station wagon or
van shall be parked on or in any part of the Common Facilities of the
Project, including without limitation the Parking Facility, nor shall any
repairs other than emergency repairs immediately necessary for operation
of a vehicle be made to any motor vehicle in or on any of the Common
Facilities, including without limitation the Parking Facility, and no

cash or by certified cheque to restore the Rent Deposit to the original
sum required to be deposited as set forth herein plus interest on the
amount of such default, loss or damages sustained by Landlord at a rate of
three (3%) percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest known as
