Landlord for the payment of interest thereon as a security deposit for the
faithful performance by the Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this lease during the term hereof and not to be applied on account of rent. It
is understood and agreed between the parties that any portion of this security
deposit may be applied towards the payment of overdue or unpaid rent and may
also be applied as compensation of the Landlord for any loss or damage sustained
with respect to the breach on the part of the Tenant of any terms, covenants and
conditions of this lease provided in all cases however, that all the
Landlord’s other rights, either in law or under this lease are observed and
the Tenant’s liability hereunder is not limited to the amount of this
security. If during the term of this lease any portion of the security deposit
is so applied, the tenant will, on written demand, provide the Landlord with
sufficient amount in cash to restore this deposit to the original sum deposited
and the Tenant’s failure to do so within five (5) days after receipt of
said demand shall constitute a breach of this lease. The Landlord will refund to
the Tenant forthwith after the expiry date of the within lease or any renewal
thereof any portion of the security deposit not used by the Landlord after
application by the Landlord to any damage incurred by the Landlord by the
default of the Tenant under the terms of this lease and after application
against the last month’s base rent and rent for Operating Cost Escalation
and Tax Escalation payable under this lease. It is further provided that the
Landlord will be discharged from any liability to the tenant with respect to
this security if it is transferred to any purchaser of the Landlord’s
interest in the demised premises. |

ARTICLE 11.00
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
| |
In
the event that the Tenant desires to assign, sublet or part with possession of
all or any part of the Leased Premises or to transfer this Lease in any other
manner, in whole or in part or any estate or interest thereunder, then and so
often as such event shall occur, the Tenant shall give prior written notice to
the Landlord of such desire specifying therein the proposed assignee,
transferee, or sublet tenant, and the Landlord shall have the option to cancel
this Lease by written notice within sixty (60) days next following the receipt
by it of such notice from the Tenant. The notice to be given by the Landlord as
aforesaid shall fix the date of termination of this Lease and the Tenant shall
deliver up possession of the Leased Premises to the Landlord on such date. |
13
| (a) |
If the Landlord does not so notify the Tenant of the termination of this Lease as
set out in Section 11.01 hereof, the Tenant agrees that the Tenant will not
assign this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or part with possession of
all or any part of the Leased Premises, without the prior written consent of the
Landlord in each instance, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no assignment or sublease or
parting with possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises shall be
effective and no consent shall be given unless the following provisions have
been complied with: |
| (i) |
There is not existing any default hereunder on the part of the Tenant; |
| ii) |
The Tenant shall have given written notice of its desire to make such assignment
or sublease or parting with possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises
and the effective date thereof within thirty (30) days after the execution and
delivery thereof; |

of all or any part of the Leased Premises shall be given to the Landlord within
thirty (30) days after the execution and delivery thereof; |
| iv) |
The assignee or sublessee has assumed in writing with the Landlord the due and
punctual performance and observance of all agreements, provisions, covenants and
conditions hereof on the Tenant’s part to be performed or observed from and
after the execution and delivery of such assignment. |
| (b) |
In the event that the Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets or parts with
possession or all or any part of the Leased Premises as aforesaid without the
written consent of the Landlord, the Landlord may in its sole discretion
terminate this Lease forthwith without notice. The consent by the Landlord to
any assignment or subletting or parting with possession of all or any part of
the Leased Premises shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting or parting with possession of
all or any part of the Leased Premises. This prohibition against assigning or
subletting or parting with any possession of all or any part of the Leased
Premises shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment or
subletting or parting with possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises
by operation of law. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Leased Premises or any
part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than the Tenant, the
Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply
the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment,
subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant or
the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of
the Tenant or any Guarantor hereunder from the further performance by the Tenant
of covenants on the part of the Tenant herein contained. Notwithstanding any
assignment or sublease or parting with possession of all or any part of the
Leased Premises, the Tenant and any Guarantor shall remain fully liable on this
Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease. |
| (c) |
Any assignment of this Lease if consented to by the Landlord shall be prepared
by the Landlord or its solicitors, and any and all legal costs and all
Landlord’s administrative costs with respect thereto shall be borne by the
Tenant. |
| (d) |
For the purposes of this Lease, a transfer of the beneficial ownership of a
majority interest in the Tenant (if the Tenant is a corporation) shall be deemed
to be an assignment of this Lease and subject to all the terms of this Article
11.00, provided that this Section 11.01(d) shall not apply to any corporation,
the shares of which are traded on any recognised stock exchange. |

termination of the Term or after the giving of any notice (other than a demand
for payment of money) by the Landlord to the Tenant, shall reinstate, continue

the payment of such money. After the service of notice of the commencement of a
suit, or after final judgement granting the Landlord possession of the Leased
Premises, the Landlord may receive and collect any sums of Rent due under the
Lease, and the payment thereof shall not make ineffective any notice, or in any
manner affect any pending suit or any judgement theretofore obtained. |

specifying with reasonable particularity the nature of such default and
requiring same to be remedied; |
| |
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 may without notice or any form of legal process whatsoever
forthwith re-enter upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof in the name of
the whole and repossess and enjoy the same as of its former estate, anything
contained in any statute or law to the contrary notwithstanding, provided,
however, that such forfeiture shall be wholly without prejudice to the right of
the Landlord to recover arrears of rent or damages for any antecedent default by
the Tenant of its covenants, obligations or agreements under this Lease or any
term or condition of this Lease and provided further that notwithstanding any
such forfeiture the Landlord may subsequently recover from the Tenant damages
for loss of Rent suffered by reason of this Lease having been prematurely
determined. |
| |
Should
the Landlord elect to re-enter as herein provided, or should it take possession
pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it
may either terminate this Lease, or it may from time to time without terminating
this Lease make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to
relet the Leased Premises, and relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof as
agent for the Tenant for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending
beyond the Term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other
terms and conditions as the Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable;
upon each reletting all rentals received by the Landlord from such reletting
shall be applied; first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due
hereunder from the Tenant to the Landlord; second, to the repayment of any costs
and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and solicitors’
fees and the costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of
Rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by the
Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and
payable hereunder. If such Rent received from such reletting during any month be
less than that to be paid during that month by the Tenant hereunder, the Tenant
shall pay any such deficiency to the Landlord. Such deficiency shall be
calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Leased
Premises by the Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to the
Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, the
Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such
previous breach. Should the Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any
breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from the
Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of
recovering the Leased Premises, and including the worth at the time of such
termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of Rent and charges equivalent
to Rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the Term hereof, all of
which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from the Tenant to the
Landlord. In determining the Rent which would be payable by the Tenant
hereunder, subsequent to default, the Annual Rent for each year of the unexpired
Term shall be equal to the average Annual Rent paid by the Tenant from the Lease
Commencement Date to the time of default or during the preceding three (3) full
calendar years, whichever period is shorter, together with all Rent other than
Annual Rent which would have been payable during the calendar year in which this
Lease was terminated, pro-rated over a full calendar year, if required. |
| |
In case suit shall be brought for recovery of possession of the Leased Premises,
for the recovery of rent or any other amount due under the provisions of this
Lease,
|
20
| |
or because of the breach of any other covenant herein contained on the part of the
Tenant to be kept or performed, a breach shall be established, and the Tenant
will pay to the Landlord all expenses incurred therefor, including
reasonable solicitor’s and counsel fees on a solicitor and his client
basis. |
| |
The
Tenant covenants and agrees that if the Term or any of the goods and chattels of
the Tenant on the Leased Premises shall be at any time during the Term seized or
taken in execution or attachment by any creditor of the Tenant or if the Tenant
shall make any assignment for the benefit or creditors of any bulk sale or,
becoming bankrupt or insolvent, shall take the benefit of any Act now or
hereafter in force for bankrupt of insolvent debtors or if any order shall be
made for the winding up of the Tenant, or if the Leased Premises shall without
written consent of the Landlord become and remain vacant for a period of fifteen
(15) days, or be used by any other persons than such as are entitled to use them
under the terms of this Lease, or if the Tenant shall without the written
consent of the Landlord abandon or attempt to abandon the Leased Premises or to
sell or dispose of goods or chattels of the Tenant or to remove them or any of
them from the Leased Premises so that there would not in the event of such
abandonment, sale or disposal be sufficient goods on the Leased Premises subject
to distress to satisfy the rent above due or accruing due, then and in every
such case the then current month’s rent and the next ensuing three (3)
months’ rent shall immediately become due and be paid and the Landlord may
re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises as though the Tenant or the
servants of the Tenant or any other occupant of the Leased Premises were holding
over after the expiration of the Term and the Term shall, at the option of the
Landlord, forthwith become forfeited and determined, and in every one of the
cases above such accelerated rent shall be recoverable by the Landlord in the
same manner as the Rent hereby reserved and as if Rent were in arrears and the
said option shall be deemed to have been exercised if the Landlord or its agents
give notice to the Tenant as provided for herein. |
| 19.07 |
The Landlord May Perform Covenants |
| |
If
the Tenant shall fail to perform any of its covenants or obligations under or in
respect of this Lease, the Landlord may from time to time at its discretion,

part thereof, and for such purpose may do such things upon or in respect of the
Leased Premises or any part thereof as the Landlord may consider requisite or
necessary. |
| |
All
expenses incurred and expenditures made by or on behalf of the Landlord under
this Section shall be forthwith paid by the Tenant and if the Tenant fails to
pay the same, the Landlord may add the same to the Rent and recover the same by
all remedies available to the Landlord for the recovery of Rent in arrears. |

| |
during
the continuance of the Term hereby created on the Leased Premises shall be
exempt from levy by distress for Rent in arrears by the Tenant as provided for
by any Section or Sections of the said Act, or any amendment or amendments
thereto, and that upon any claim being made for such exemptions by the Tenant or

pleaded as an estoppel against the Tenant in any action brought to test the
right to the levying upon any such goods as are named as exempt in said Section
or Sections or amendment or amendments thereto, the Tenant waiving as the Tenant
hereby does, all and every benefit that could or might have accrued to the
Tenant under and by virtue of the said Section or Sections of the said Act or
any amendment or amendments thereto but for this covenant. |

Expansion of Building |

the north end of the space in connection with the north washrooms. With regard
to the access from the elevator, the Landlord will erect temporary walls to
secure the Tenant’s privacy. With regard to the washroom facilities, the
existing washrooms and shower units will be completely demolished. New washrooms
will then be built in such a way that they can be shared between the Tenant and
any tenant of the space to be constructed. Access from the new tenants to these
washrooms would be somewhere at the north west corner of the Tenant’s space
near the existing staircase. |

Additional Premises be available for lease. The Landlord shall inform the Tenant
in writing of such availability and the Tenant shall have 72 hours to notify the
