3.2 Early Occupancy
Period:
Provided
this Lease has been executed by the Tenant in a form acceptable to the Landlord

including the requirement to pay for any utilities consumed in the
Premises.
3.3 Delay in
Possession:
Should the Tenant be
delayed by fault of the Landlord in taking possession of the Premises on the
Term Commencement Date, then and only then shall the payment of Rent be
postponed for the same number of days that the Tenant is so delayed in taking

that such postponement of the payment of Rent shall be in full settlement for
any claims it might have against the Landlord for being delayed in its taking
possession of the Premises.
3.4 Surrender:

objection by the Landlord, and without any written agreement otherwise
providing, the Tenant shall be deemed to be a monthly tenant upon the same terms
and conditions as are contained in this Lease except as to the Term, and except
as to Basic Rent which shall be equal to the greater of: (a) twice one hundred and fifty percent (150%)
of the Basic Rent payable in the last year of the Term or any renewal
term, or (b) the then prevailing rate charged by the Landlord in the
Building. This provision shall not authorize the Tenant to so
overhold where the Landlord has objected.
3.6 Effect of
Termination:
The
expiry or termination of this Lease whether by elapse of time or by the exercise
of any right of either the Landlord or the Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall

the right of each party to recover damages for an antecedent default by the
other.
3.7 Acceptance of
Premises:
Taking
possession of all or any portion of the Premises by the Tenant will be
conclusive evidence as against the Tenant that the Premises or such portion

actual cost of Utilities supplied to the Premises and the difference
between such actual determination and the amount already billed to the
Tenant in instalments. If the aggregate of the Tenant’s
instalments for the period in question was less than the actual
determination, then the Tenant shall pay the difference to the Landlord
forthwith, or if the aggregate of such instalments are more than the
actual determination, the Landlord shall credit the difference to the

conditioning units, facilities or services in the Premises, or modify its
air conditioning system, as may in the Landlord's reasonable opinion be
required to maintain proper temperature levels, and the Tenant

determined by the Landlord to take equitable account of the
disproportionate use and may separately charge the Tenant for such excess
cost, plus 15% of such excess cost to cover the Landlord's costs of
administration. At the Landlord's request, the Tenant shall

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.

harmless from all damage to the Premises caused by such removal, whether by the
Tenant or by the Landlord.
6.11 Tenant's
Signs:
The
Tenant shall not at any time cause or permit any sign, picture, advertisement,

called "Signs") to be painted, displayed, inscribed, placed, affixed or
maintained within the Premises and visible outside the Premises or in or on any
windows or the exterior of the Premises (including glass demising walls facing
onto Common Areas), nor anywhere else on or in the Building, without the prior
and continuous consent of the Landlord which consent may, with respect to
proposed signage on the main floor of the Building, or which can be seen from
outside the Premises, be arbitrarily withheld, but otherwise shall not be
unreasonably withheld, provided that the copy and style of any Signs shall be
consistent with the first-class nature of the Building and in accordance with
the Landlord's sign criteria. No hand-written signs will be
permitted. The 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 the Tenant of this provision may be
immediately rectified by the Landlord at the Tenant's expense and in this
connection, the Landlord shall be entitled to enter the Premises and remove any
Signs contravening this provision and charge the Tenant the costs thereof, and
same shall not constitute a re-entry under this Lease and the Landlord shall not
be liable for any damages caused thereby, whether or not arising from its own
negligence. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary as herein contained, the Landlord will, at its own cost and expense,
supply and install: (i) one (1) Building standard signage at the
entrance of the Premises; (ii) directional signage in the elevator lobby on the

main lobby of the Building which shall indicate the name of the Tenant and the
location of the Premises within the Building. The Tenant shall pay
the Landlord's cost of changes thereto, and any other signage with respect to
the Premises. Should sufficient space exist on the directory board,
the Landlord may provide to the Tenant, at the Tenant's expense, additional
entries as requested. The directory board shall be for identification
only and not for advertising. The Landlord's acceptance of any name
for listing on the directory board will not be deemed, nor will it substitute
for, the Landlord's consent, as required by this Lease, to any sublease,
assignment or other occupancy of the Premises.
6.13 Landlord's
Signs:
In
addition to the Landlord's right to install general information and direction
signs in and about the Building as would be customary for comparable office
building in the City of Toronto, the Landlord shall have the right at any time
to place upon the Building a notice of reasonable dimensions, reasonably placed
so as not to interfere with the Tenant's business, stating that the Building is
for sale, or that areas of the Building are for lease, as the case may be, and
at any time during the last six (6) months of the Term, that the Premises are

ARTICLE VIII - ASSIGNMENT AND
SUBLETTING
8.1 Assignment,
Subletting:
The
Tenant shall not assign this Lease, nor sublet all or any part of the Premises
(together a “Transfer”) without the prior consent in writing of the Landlord,
which consent shall, subject to Section 8.2 hereof, not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed; provided
however, that such consent to any assignment or subletting, shall not relieve
the Tenant from its obligation to pay Rent and to perform all of the covenants,
terms and conditions herein contained. If this Lease is assigned or
any part of the Premises is occupied by any person other than the Tenant, the
Landlord may collect Rent or sums on account of Rent from the assignee,
subtenant or transferee, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent payable
hereunder but no such assignment, subletting, transfer of possession or
collection or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or transferee as tenant
shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant.
8.2 Landlord's
Consent:
If the
Tenant desires to assign this Lease, or to sublet the Premises, then and so
often as such event shall occur, the Tenant shall make its request to the
Landlord in writing, and the Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after
receipt of all information requested by the Landlord, notify the Tenant in
writing either that; (a) the Landlord consents or does not consent,
as the case may be, or (b) the Landlord elects to cancel and terminate this
Lease if the request is to assign this Lease or to sublet all of the Premises,
or if the request is to sublet a portion of the Premises only, to cancel and
terminate this Lease with respect to such portion. If the Landlord
elects to cancel this Lease as aforesaid, and so advises the Tenant in writing,
the Tenant shall then notify the Landlord in writing within fifteen (15) days
thereafter of the Tenant's intention either to refrain from such assigning or
subletting or to accept the cancellation of this Lease (in whole, or in
part). Failure of the Tenant to deliver notice to the Landlord within
such fifteen (15) day period advising of the Tenant's intention to refrain from
such assigning or subletting, shall be deemed to be an acceptance by the Tenant
of the 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 8.2 shall be
effective on the later of the date originally proposed by the Tenant as being
the effective date of transfer or the last day of the month which is not less
than sixty (60) days following the date of the Landlord's notice to cancel this
Lease.
8.3 Requests for
Consent:
Requests
by the Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet all, or part of the Premises shall
be in writing to the Landlord accompanied with such information as the Landlord
may reasonably require and shall include an original copy of the proposed
assignment or sublease, as the case may be. Prior to any consent
being given by the Landlord to the Tenant's request, the Landlord must be
satisfied as to the following, inter alia: (a) that the liability of
the Tenant in fulfilling the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall
remain; (b) the financial ability, good credit rating and business reputation
and standing of the proposed assignee, subtenant or transferee, as the case may
be; (c) that the Tenant has regularly and duly paid Rent and performed all of
the covenants contained in this Lease; (d) that any Mortgagee will consent to
such request; and (e) that the proposed assignee or subtenant has, or will enter
into an agreement with the Landlord agreeing to be bound by all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease. Prior to receiving any
consent pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Tenant will pay the Landlord's
administrative fee of $1,000.00 plus G.S.T. in connection with the
review by the Landlord and/or its solicitors of the Tenant's request, and the
preparation and review of any documentation in respect thereof. If
the Tenant receives consent pursuant to this Section 8.3, it shall be
conditional on the Tenant paying to the Landlord as Additional Rent, any profit
(net of all reasonable costs incurred by the Tenant in connection therewith)
earned by the Tenant in assigning this Lease or subletting all or any part of
the Premises.
8.4 Assignment by
Landlord:
In the
event of the sale or lease by the Landlord of its interest in the Lands or
Building or any part or parts thereof and in conjunction therewith the
assignment by the Landlord of this Lease or any interest of the Landlord herein,
the Landlord shall be relieved of all liability under this Lease accruing from and after the
effective date of any such assignment.
8.5 Liability of Tenant after
Transfers:
No
Transfer or other disposition by the Tenant of this Lease or of any interest
under this Lease shall release the Tenant from the performance of any of its
covenants under this Lease and the Tenant shall continue to be bound by and
liable under this Lease. The Tenant's liability under this Lease
after any Transfer of the Tenant's interest will continue notwithstanding the
bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of any transferee 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 after any Transfer of the Tenant's
interest, 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 the Tenant's liability under this Lease, the
Tenant, upon notice from the Landlord given within ninety (90) days after any
such termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation, shall enter into a new
lease with the 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.

reasonable amounts as would be carried by a prudent owner, and any other forms
of insurance as it or the Mortgagee may reasonably determine
advisable. Notwithstanding that the Tenant shall be contributing to

not have any insurable or other interest in any of the Landlord's insurance
other than the rights, if any, expressly set forth in this Lease, and in any
event, the Tenant shall not have any interest in, nor any right to recover any

15
ARTICLE XII - LANDLORD'S
REMEDIES
12.1 Landlord May Perform
Tenant's Covenants:
If the
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 ten (10) consecutive days after notice by the Landlord
to the 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 ten (10) day period, if the Tenant
shall fail to proceed promptly to cure the same or shall thereafter fail to
prosecute the curing of such default with due diligence), the 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 the Landlord together with
Interest thereon from the date such cost was incurred by the Landlord until
repaid by the Tenant shall be treated as Additional Rent and added to the Rent
due on the next succeeding date 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 ten (10) days, then the Landlord's
notice shall stipulate such reasonable lesser period, and if the default is not
remedied within the time period set out, the Landlord may remedy the default as
set out above.
12.2 Re-Entry:
When:
|
(a)
|
the
Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent, whether lawfully
demanded or not; after five (5) days’ prior
written notice from the

|
|
(b)
|
the
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 ten (10) consecutive days (or such shorter
period set out in the Landlord's notice as may be reasonable in the
circumstances) after notice by the Landlord to the 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 ten (10) day period, if the Tenant
has failed to proceed promptly to cure the same or has thereafter failed
to prosecute the curing of such failure with due
diligence;
|
|
(c)
|
an
execution issues against any property of the Tenant or any guarantor or
indemnifier of this Lease and remains outstanding for more than ten (10)
days, or any receiver of any property of the Tenant or any guarantor or
indemnifier of this Lease is appointed, or the 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 any
action, steps or proceedings whatever, are taken with a view to the
winding up, dissolution or liquidation of the 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 the Tenant or any guarantor
or indemnifier of this Lease;
|
|
(d)
|
any
insurance policy is cancelled or not renewed by any insurer by reason of
any particular use or occupation of the Premises;
or
|
|
(e)
|
the
Premises have been abandoned, or have become
vacant or have remained unoccupied for a period of five (5) consecutive
days without the consent of the Landlord (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), or the Premises have been used by any other
person or persons other than the Tenant or any person permitted by Article
VIII hereof.
|
|
(f)
|
the Tenant or any
company with which the Tenant is affiliated or associated (as those terms
are defined in the Business Corporations Act, 1990 of Ontario, or any
successor legislation thereto) is in default of any of its covenants,
obligations or agreements under any lease or other written agreement
between it and the Landlord (as owner or as manager) or any company with
which the Landlord is affiliated or associated (as those terms are defined
in the Business Corporations Act, 1990 of Ontario, or any successor
legislation thereto), and such default shall have continued for such
period of time that the Landlord's (or such affiliated or associated
company's) remedies have become exercisable
thereunder;
|
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 the Landlord the Term shall become forfeited and void, and the
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. The Landlord may expel all persons and
remove all property from the Premises and such property may be removed and sold
or disposed of by the Landlord as it deems advisable or may be stored in a
public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of the
Tenant without the Landlord being considered guilty of trespass or conversion or
becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby,
provided, however, that such forfeiture shall be wholly without prejudice to the
right of the Landlord to recover arrears of rent and damages for any
antecedent default by the Tenant of its covenants under this Lease. Should the
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 the Tenant all
damages it may incur as a result of such termination.
12.3 Right to
Distrain:
The
Tenant agrees that the Landlord shall have the right to distrain for any arrears
of Rent without notice to the Tenant, in addition to the other rights reserved
to it. For such purpose the Landlord shall have the right to enter
the Premises as agent of the 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 the
Tenant under this Lease and the Tenant shall remain liable for the deficiency,
if any. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Commercial
Tenancies Act (Ontario), 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 the Tenant at any time during the continuance of
the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for Rent and the 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 the Tenant, or
on distress being made by the Landlord, this provision may be pleaded as an
estoppel against the Tenant in any action brought to test the right to the
levying of distress upon any such goods.
12.4 Landlord May Follow
Chattels:
In case
of removal by the Tenant of the goods or chattels of the Tenant from the
Premises, the Landlord may follow the same for thirty (30) days in the same
manner as is provided for in the Commercial Tenancies 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.
12.5 Rights
Cumulative:
The
rights and remedies given to the Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate
and cumulative, and no one of them, whether or not exercised by the Landlord
shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other rights or remedies provided in
this Lease or by law or in equity.
16
12.6 Acceptance of Rent
Non-Waiver:
No
receipt of monies by the Landlord from the 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 the 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 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, the 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 the Landlord on account of the Tenant's liability
hereunder.
ARTICLE XIII - STATUS STATEMENT,
ATTORNMENT AND SUBORDINATION
13.1 Certification:
The
Landlord and Tenant respectively agree that within ten (10) days after a written
request therefor, they shall execute and deliver to the other 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 the Landlord
or the Tenant of which the person signing the certificate has notice and giving
as well such further information as the person requesting the certificate shall
reasonably require.
13.2 Attornment:
If
proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or if there is exercise of the power of
sale or if there is an entry into possession of the Building or any part thereof
pursuant to any mortgage, charge, deed of trust or any lien resulting from any
other method of financing or refinancing made by the Landlord covering the
Premises and the Building, the Tenant shall attorn to the mortgagee, chargee,
lessee, trustee, other encumbrancer or the purchaser upon any such foreclosure
or sale and recognize such mortgagee, chargee, lessee, trustee, other
encumbrancer or the purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease.
13.3 Subordination:
Subject to the Landlord obtaining a
non-disturbance agreement in favour of the Tenant pursuant to Section 13.3A
hereof, the Tenant shall postpone and subordinate its rights under this
Lease to the Mortgagee, and any mortgage or mortgages, or any lien resulting
from any other method of financing or refinancing, now or hereafter in force
against the Lands and Building or any part or parts thereof as it exists from
time to time, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security
thereof.
13.3A Non-disturbance
Agreement:
Provided
the Tenant is Ultimate Software Group of Canada, Inc., upon the written request
of the Tenant, the Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain, at the
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, an agreement from any existing mortgagee of the
Building, in a form acceptable to such mortgagee, to the effect that so long as
the Tenant performs and observes all of the terms and conditions of this Lease
and is not in default under this Lease and provided the Tenant shall attorn to
such mortgagee, the Tenant shall be permitted to remain in possession of the
Premises without interruption or disturbance from such mortgagee; or at the
option of such mortgagee, shall be entitled to obtain a new lease for the
unexpired Term of this Lease, on the same terms and conditions as contained in
this Lease. The Tenant shall (i) promptly execute such documents as
may be required by the Landlord to give effect to the foregoing, and (ii)
indemnify the Landlord from and against all reasonable costs including legal
costs incurred by the Landlord in connection with obtaining and preparing any
such agreement.
13.4 Rights of
Mortgagees:
If at any
time during the currency of a mortgage of the interest of the Landlord in the
Premises or Building, notice of which has been given to the Tenant, the Landlord
shall be in default under this Lease and such default would give rise to a right
in the Tenant to terminate this Lease, the 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 in writing of such
default. Such Mortgagee shall have sixty (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 the 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 the Tenant as against the Landlord. Any notice to be
given to such Mortgagee shall be deemed to have been properly given if mailed by
registered mail to its most recent address of which the Tenant has
notice.

ARTICLE XIV -
MISCELLANEOUS
14.1 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 the 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 the 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. The Tenant warrants and
represents that it is duly formed and in good standing, and has full corporate
or partnership authority, as the case may be, to enter into this Lease, and has
taken all corporate or partnership action, as the case may be, necessary to make
this Lease a valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its
terms.
14.2 Landlord and Tenant

Act:
It is an
express condition of this Lease that the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O

Waiver:
No
condoning or waiver by either the 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 the 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 the Landlord or the 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 the
Landlord or the 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

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, the Tenant and the Landlord shall restore the
part not so taken in accordance with their respective repair obligations under
the provisions of Article VI of this Lease. In this Section the word

Tenant and may not be amended or modified except by subsequent agreement in
