WHEREAS subsequent to the execution of Lease Amendment No.2, and prior to Lessee’s occupation of the Additional Leased Premises (as defined in Lease Amendment No.2), the Lessee requested to lease additional premises (offices) in the Building and also request physical changes be made to the Additional Leased Premises (as defined in Lease Amendment No.2) and newly requested premises, which additional premises the Lessor wishes to lease to the Lessee, and which physical changes the Lessor wishes to implement.

The commencement date for leasing the Updated Additional Leased Premises under the Lease will be June 1, 2021. For certainty, the expiry date for the term of the lease of the Updated Additional Leased Premises shall be the expiry of the Initial Term, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease and any early termination thereof.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease, and not withstanding the commencement date for leasing the Updated Additional Leased Premises, the delivery date of the Updated Additional Leased Premises will be November 19, 2021
The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the following annual rent specific to the Updated Additional Leased Premises:
|
|
(i) |
for the period from the commencement date for leasing of the Updated Additional Leased Premises (June 1, 2021) up to and including May 31, 2022, the sum of sixty-five dollars (CAD $65.00) per square foot of the Updated Additional Leased Premises, which the Parties acknowledge and agree will be deemed 3,471 square feet, in addition to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Quebec Sales Tax (QST); and |
|
|
|
(ii) |
for the 12 month period ending in each subsequent anniversary of the commencement date for leasing of the Updated Additional Leased Premises, the amount payable in the previous leasing year plus two percent (2%). |
|
The annual rent specific to the Updated Additional Leased Premises shall be
payable in equal and consecutive monthly instalments, in advance on the first day of each month, with adjustments, if any, on a per diem basis. Notwithstanding, rent due for the months of June and July, 2021, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on execution of this Lease Amendment No.3, and, for certainty, the next monthly instalment of annual rent shall be due on August 1, 2021.
On execution of this Lease Amendment No.3, the Lessee shall submit a deposit, in an amount equal to three (3) months of the first year rent specific to the Updated Additional Leased Premises, to the Lessor (the "Additional Deposit").
In the event the Lessor is unable to deliver the Updated Additional Leased Premises by the November 19, 2021, the Lessee shall cease to be responsible to pay rent due for the Updated Additional Leased Premises for the period from November 19, 2021to the date that the Lessor actually completes delivery of the Updated Additional Leased Premises, unless the late delivery of the Updated Additional Leased Premises is due to:
|
|
(i) |
Force Majeure; or |
|
|
|
(ii) |
A request to make new changes to the Updated Additional Leased Premises is received from the Lessee after June 1, 2021, and is approved and acted upon by Lessor. |
|
The Parties acknowledge and agree that as consideration for the additional costs already incurred and to be incurred by the Lessor in satisfying the
Lessee’s requests, received prior to June 1, 2021, for changes to the Updated Additional Leased Premises, the Lessee shall pay the Lessor a lump sum, nonrefundable amount of three hundred ninety-three thousand dollars (CAD $393, 000) due and payable on execution of this Lease Amendment No.3, as full and final payment for the changes to the Updated Additional Leased Premises requested prior to June 1, 2021.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Lessee shall be solely responsible for any additional costs incurred by the Lessor, on a pass through basis, associated with new changes to the Updated Additional Leased Premises, in the event a new request to adjust the Updated Additional Leased Premises is received from the Lessee on or after June 1, 2021 and is approved and acted upon by Lessor.
Lessor shall be responsible for ensuring that the Updated Additional Leased Premises are LEED certified. To comply with the certification procedure, it is estimated that a ventilation purge must be performed for seventeen (17) days after completion of construction of the Updated Additional Leased Premises and prior to occupancy of the Updated Additional Leased Premises by the Lessee. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease, the Updated Additional Leased Premises will be accessible to the Lessee only after completion of such ventilation purge. Further, the monitoring of the ventilation system (temperature & humidity level) will continue after the delivery of the Leased Premises, which monitoring is estimated to require, but may exceed, fortyeight (48) days, and which monitoring: (i) will be permitted and will not be construed as a breach by Lessor of any obligation of the Lease, notwithstanding anything in the Lease, and (ii) will not affect the rent due for the Updated Additional Leased Premises under the Lease.
