RECITALS
 
1.1

WHEREAS the lands described in Schedule C hereto are herein referred to as the
“Lands” and the multiple occupancy office building erected on the Lands is
herein called the “Building”. The Lands and Building and all other buildings,

ARTICLE 2
GRANT AND TERM
 
2.1  
Grant of Lease

 
NOW THEREFORE THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH that in consideration of the rents,
covenants, conditions and agreements hereinafter reserved and contained on the
part of the Tenant to be paid, observed and performed, the Landlord demises and
leases to the Tenant, and the Tenant rents from the Landlord, the Premises. The
use and occupation by the Tenant of the Premises shall entitle the Tenant to use
in common with all others entitled thereto, the Common Areas subject, however,
to the terms and conditions of this Lease and the Rules and Regulations attached
hereto as Schedule B.
 
2.2  
Term of Lease

 
To have and to hold the said Premises for and during the term set forth on
Schedule A attached hereto (the “Term”). .
 
2.3  
Overholding - No Tacit Renewal

 
If the Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the end of the Term
with or without the consent of the Landlord but has not executed and delivered a
new lease, there shall be no tacit renewal of this Lease or the Term,
notwithstanding any statutory provisions or legal presumption to the contrary.
If the Tenant remains in possession without the written consent of the Landlord,
the Tenant’s continued occupancy will be deemed a tenancy at will which the
Landlord may terminate at any time on twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice. If
the Tenant remains in possession with the Landlord’s written consent, the Tenant
shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant from month to month. In
either event, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, in advance on the first day
of each month, a monthly Minimum Rent equal to the greater of (i) two hundred
percent (200%) of the monthly amount of Minimum Rent payable during the last
month of the Term and (ii) the prevailing minimum rent charged by the Landlord
in the Building. The Tenant shall otherwise occupy the Premises upon the same
terms, covenants and conditions as are set forth in this Lease, mutatis
mutandis, including, for greater certainty, liability for all Additional Rent.
This provision shall not authorize the Tenant to so overhold where the Landlord
has objected.
 
2.4  
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 be without prejudice to the right of the Landlord to recover arrears
or adjustments of Rent; to recover damages for an antecedent default; and to
recover pursuant to Section 5.21.
 
2.5  
Use prior to Commencement Date

 
If the Tenant uses or occupies the whole or any part of the Premises in any way
prior to the Commencement Date without entering into a lease with the Landlord
in respect of such use or occupancy, then during that period the Tenant shall be
a tenant of the Landlord subject to all the terms and conditions contained in
this Lease, provided that the inclusion of this section shall not be deemed to
authorize or permit the Tenant to use or occupy the whole or any portion of the
Premises in any way prior to the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, provided the Tenant has delivered its certificate of insurance to the
Landlord in accordance with Section 5.18, and the Landlord’s Work pursuant to
Section 8.3 is substantially complete, then the Tenant shall be permitted to
occupy the Premises for the purpose of completing the Tenant’s Work pursuant to
Section 8.4, installing its furniture and conducting its business. The Tenant
shall not be obligated to pay Minimum Rent or Additional Rent during such period
of occupancy prior to the Commencement Date (other than charges for utilities
consumed in the Premises and for Additional Services pursuant to Section 4.8)
but all other terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
2.6  
Lease Year

 
“Lease Year” means a period of time commencing on the first day of the Term and
ending on the last day of December next following. Thereafter, “Lease Years”
shall consist of consecutive periods of twelve (12) calendar months. The last
Lease Year of the Term shall terminate upon the expiration, or earlier
termination, of this Lease, as the case may be.
 
2.7  
Landlord’s Performance

 
The Landlord shall not be deemed in default in respect of the performance of any
of the provisions of this Lease if the same is due to any cause beyond the
reasonable control of the Landlord (except for the willful act or gross neglect
of the Landlord). The rent reserved and covenanted to be paid herein shall not
commence until the possession of the” Premises is given or is available for
occupancy by the Tenant, but no failure to give possession shall in any way
affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of the Tenant hereunder,
nor shall the same be construed in any way to extend the Term of this Lease. If
the Landlord is unable to give possession of the Premises on or prior to the
commencement date of the Term by reason of the holding over or retention of
possession of any tenant, or for any other reason, or if repairs, improvements
or alterations of the Premises or of the Building are not completed, the
validity of this Lease shall not be impaired. Provided, however, that the Tenant
shall not be liable to make any payments of Minimum Rent (as hereinafter
defined) or Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) until the Landlord is able
to give possession of the Premises to the Tenant.
 
2.8  
Examination of Premises

 
The Tenant shall examine the Premises upon taking possession and shall notify
the Landlord of any defect in the condition thereof. Failure to so notify the
Landlord within ten (10) days of entering into possession of all or any part of
the Premises shall be conclusive evidence of the acceptance by the Tenant of the
condition and state of repair of the Premises and the Tenant shall have no
rights in respect thereof (except for any latent defects that could not
reasonably have been determined by the Tenant as of the taking of possession).
The Tenant agrees that there is no promise, representation or undertaking by or
binding upon the 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, except as expressly provided in Section 8.3 of this
Lease.

appropriate apportionment and adjustment shall be made on a per diem basis based
upon the relevant Accounting Period.
 
3.4  
Rent and Payments Generally

 
All Rent and payments by the Tenant to the Landlord of whatsoever nature
required or contemplated by this Lease shall:
 
(a)

received against any amounts due and payable under this Lease in such manner as
the Landlord sees fit;

Landlord determines in its sole discretion. No acceptance by the Landlord of
payment by the Tenant of any amount less than the full amount payable to the

instruction or statement respecting any payment by the Tenant shall be deemed to
constitute payment in full or an accord and satisfaction of any obligation of
the Tenant;

 
(c)  
if not paid within five (5) days of the due date of payment, bear interest daily
from the due date to the date of payment, calculated daily, at the rate per

interest charged by the Landlord’s bank, from time to time. The foregoing five
(5) day “grace” period shall only apply to the first late payment in any twelve
(12) month period and interest will accrue immediately in respect of any other
late payment;

Landlord’s additional administrative costs in connection with any late payment
or returned cheque/not-sufficient funds notice. The foregoing administrative
charge shall not apply to the first late payment of Rent in any twelve (12)
month period;

 
(e)  
in addition to all amounts payable by the Tenant under this Lease as Rent, the
Tenant shall pay, at the earlier of the time provided for in the applicable
legislation or at the time such Rent is required to be paid under this Lease,
all Sales Taxes calculated on or in respect of amounts payable by the Tenant as
Rent under this Lease and, notwithstanding that Sales Taxes are not Additional
Rent under this Lease, the Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies for
the recovery of such amounts payable as Sales Tax as it has for amounts payable
as Additional Rent under this Lease;

 
(f)  
If the 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 Minimum Rent and Additional Rents, as the case may be, will be adjusted for
the months affected, pro rata based on a 365 day year; and

 
(g)  
All amounts payable by the Tenant to the Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall
be deemed to be Rent.

the Premises or the Building without first obtaining the appropriate permits and
the Landlord’s written approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed (except in the case of any alterations affecting the Structure or the
Building Systems, in which case the Landlord may withhold its approval in its
sole discretion). The Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord plans and
specifications in form, content and detail as the Landlord may reasonably
require for such work at the time approval is sought. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Tenant shall not require the Landlord’s consent, but will provide

(ii)  
by contractors, subcontractors and workers approved by the Landlord, acting
reasonably, and compatible with the labour affiliation, if any, of the
Landlord’s and Management Company’s contractors and workers, provided that if
the alterations, improvements, repairs or replacements would affect the
structure of the Building or any component thereof, any exterior wall, windows
or roof thereof, any of the Building Systems or the aesthetics of the Building,
such work shall, at the option of the Landlord, be performed at the Tenant’s
cost by the Landlord or by contractors and workers designated by the Landlord in
its sole discretion;

 
(iii)  
in a good and skilful manner and in compliance with the construction standards

inspection of the Landlord, the cost of which shall be paid by the Tenant; and

 
(viii)  
subject to such indemnification against liens and expenses as the Landlord
reasonably requires.

 
(ix)  
If the Tenant installs Leasehold Improvements or makes alterations,
improvements, repairs or replacements which depart from the construction
standards and design criteria for the Building set by the Landlord from time to
time, and which restrict access by the Landlord to any of the Building Systems
or Common Areas, or which restrict the installation of the Leasehold
Improvements of any other tenant or occupant in the Building, then the Tenant
shall be responsible for all costs incurred by the Landlord in obtaining access
to such Building Systems or Common Areas or in installing such other tenant’s
leasehold improvements.

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

 
(e)  
In carrying out any Alterations, the Tenant, at its expense, shall pay to the
Landlord with respect to such work the cost to the 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 the
Landlord of removing refuse, cleaning, hoisting of materials and any other costs
of the Landlord which can be reasonably allocated as a direct expense relating
to the conduct of such work.

 
(f)  
No “Leasehold Improvements by or on behalf of the Tenant shall be permitted
which may adversely affect the condition or operation of the Building or any of
its systems or the Premises or diminish the value thereof or restrict or reduce
the coverage for municipal zoning purposes of the Project.

 
(g)  
During Alterations, the Tenant shall keep the Project clean from any debris
related thereto, and in any event after construction is completed the Tenant
shall do an adequate “first clean” to the Premises.

 
 
11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
5.12       Liens
 
The Tenant shall promptly pay for all materials supplied and work done in
respect of the Premises so as to ensure that no lien or claim of lien attaches
to or is registered against any portion of the Project or against the Landlord's
or Tenant's interest therein. If a lien or claim of lien is attached, registered
or filed, the Tenant shall discharge it at its expense within seven (7) days
after notice from the Landlord (or sooner if such lien or claim is delaying a
financing or sale of all or part of the Project), failing which the Landlord may
at its option discharge the lien or claim of lien by paying the amount claimed
to be due into court or directly to the lien claimant or by taking such other
action as may be expedient to effect such discharge (whether or not the validity
of such lien is admitted or denied by the Tenant) and the amount so paid and all
expenses of the Landlord including legal fees (on a solicitor and its own client
basis) shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord.

 
5.13       External Changes
 
The Tenant agrees that it shall not erect, affix or attach to any roof, exterior

Premises or Building free standing air-conditioning units, without the prior
written consent of the Landlord which may be arbitrarily withheld.
 
5.14       Condition of Premises on Expiration of Term

 
Upon the expiration of the Term, the Tenant shall remove its chattels and trade
fixtures and surrender the Premises to the Landlord in the same condition the
Premises were in upon delivery of possession of same, following installation of
Leasehold Improvements or fixtures as provided in this Lease, reasonable wear
and tear excepted. The Tenant shall not, however, be responsible to remove
Leasehold Improvements or to restore the Premises to "base building". Tenant
shall also surrender all keys for the Premises to the Landlord at the place then
fixed for the payment of Rent. The Tenant's obligation to observe or perform
this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of the Term of
this Lease.

 
5.15       Window Coverings
 
Tenant shall utilize any window coverings as may be supplied by the Landlord or
shall supply its own window coverings, as approved by the Landlord, and shall

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
5.17       Increase in Insurance Premiums
 
The Tenant will not do or omit or permit to be done or omitted, anything upon
the Premises which shall cause the rate of insurance upon the Building, or any
part thereof, to be increased, and if the insurance rate shall be increased, as
aforesaid the Tenant will pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent, in addition to
any part of insurance premiums hereinbefore agreed to be paid by the Tenant, the
amount by which the insurance premiums shall be so increased, and, if notice of
cancellation shall be given respecting any insurance policy upon the Building or
any part thereof shall be cancelled or its renewal be refused by an insurer by
reason of the use of the Premises by the Tenant, the Tenant shall alter, remedy
or rectify such use upon being requested to do so in writing by the Landlord,
and if the Tenant shall fail to do so within twenty-four (24) hours of such
written request, the Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises and
rectify the situation (provided the Landlord may enter to rectify same earlier
if a state of emergency exists), without liability to the Tenant for any loss or
damage occasioned by such entry and rectification, or shall be entitled to hold
the Tenant liable for any damage or loss resulting from such cancellation or
refusal, or the Landlord may at its option terminate this Lease forthwith by
leaving upon the Premises notice in writing of its intention so to do, and
thereupon Rent and any other payments for which the Tenant is liable under this
Lease shall be apportioned and paid in full to the date of such determination of
the Lease, together with an amount equal to the Minimum Rent payable under
Section 3.1 hereof for a period of six (6) months as liquidated damages, and the
Tenant shall immediately deliver up possession of the Premises to the Landlord.
In determining whether increased premiums are the result of the Tenant's use of
the Premises, a schedule issued by the Organization making the insurance rate on
the Premises, showing the various components of such rate, shall be conclusive
evidence of the several items and charges which make the fire insurance rate on
the Premises. Any increase in insurance premiums payable by the Tenant as
aforesaid, shall be payable forthwith upon demand in writing therefor by the
Landlord.
 
5.18       Tenant's Insurance
 
The Tenant shall keep in full force and effect, the names of the Tenant, the
Landlord and every mortgagee of the Building, a policy of a public liability and
property damage insurance with companies qualified to do business in the
Province of Ontario and reasonably acceptable to the Landlord with respect to
the Premises, the Lands, the Building, and the business operated by the Tenant
in the Premises in which the limits of public liability shall not be less than
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00) per person and FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
($5,000,000.00) per accident and in which the property damage liability shall
not be less than
 
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00). In addition, the Tenant shall at all times
maintain
all risk insurance in an amount adequate to cover the costs of replacement of
all alterations, decorations, additions and improvements made by the Tenant and
all goods and chattels belonging to the Tenant in the Premises in the event of
fire or extended coverage loss.
 
The insurance policies stipulated above shall contain a waiver or waivers of
subrogation against the Landlord, to the extent available from the Tenant's
insurer. The Tenant hereby waives, releases and discharges the Landlord from all
tights, claims and demands whatsoever which the Tenant might have or acquire
against the Landlord arising out of damage to or destruction of the Building or
any part thereof occasioned by any perils insured against by the Tenant or which
the Tenant has agreed to insure against, whether such rights, claims and demands
shall arise through the negligence or the fault of the Landlord, its servants,
agents or contractors, or not. The Tenant agrees to look solely to its insurer
or insurers in the event of such loss, or whether the insurance coverage is
sufficient fully to reimburse the Tenant for such loss or not.
 
The Tenant shall deliver certified copies of all insurance policies required to
be obtained by the Tenant pursuant to this Lease prior to occupancy of the
Premises by the Tenant, and, the Tenant shall, in each Lease Year, deliver
evidence of renewal of the same to the Landlord.
 
The Landlord shall insure the Building as would a prudent landlord having regard
to the age, size and location of the Building.

 
 
13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
5.19       Waiver of Exemptions
 
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Commercial Tenancies Act (Ontario) or
in any other statue which may hereafter be passed to take the place of the said
Act or to amend the same, none of the goods or chattels of the said Tenant at
any time during the continuance of the Term hereby created 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 exemption by the Tenant or on distress
being made by the Landlord, this covenant and agreement may be 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 exempted in said section or sections
or amendment or amendments thereto, the Tenant hereby waiving 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.
 
5.20       Limitation of Liability of Released Persons

 
The Released Persons shall not be liable for:
 
(a)  
damage to or destruction or loss of (i) any property of the Tenant entrusted to
the care or control of the Released Persons, or any of them, or (ii) the
Premises (including Leasehold Improvements) or any property in or upon the
Premises;

 
(b)  
any bodily injury (including death), personal injury, damages for personal
discomfort or illness or consequential injury or damage (including, without
limitation, loss of business income) sustained by the Tenant or any of its
agents, officers, employees, invitees or licensees or any other Person who may
be in or upon the Premises or any other part of the Project;

 
(c)  
any damage caused by or attributable to the condition or arrangement of any
electric or other wiring, cabling or related facilities;

 
(d)  
any damage caused by anything done or omitted to be done by the Landlord or by
any other tenant of the Building;

 
(e)  
any claim or demand in connection with any injury, loss or damage to the Tenant,
its agents, invitees or licensees, or to the property of the Tenant, its agents,
invitees or licensees, where such injury, loss or damage arises out of the
security services in force or the lack thereof in the Building from time to
time;

 
(f)  
any loss or damage resulting from change, reduction, interruption, cessation or
suspension of a utility or Building Systems howsoever caused;

 
(g)  
consequential injury or damage (including, without limitation, loss of business
income and expense incurred to minimize or avoid a loss of business income or a
loss of service to customers) sustained by the Tenant or any of its agents,
officers, employees, or licensees, invitees or any other Person; or

 
(h)  
any loss or damage in respect of which the Tenant is required to maintain
insurance hereunder or is otherwise insured,

 
whether or not caused by (i) the negligence of the Released Persons, (ii) the
operation, faulty operation, interruption or breakdown of any of the Building
Systems or services to be provided by the Landlord including, without
limitation, electricity, data or telecommunications service interruption,
"brown-outs" or surges, or (iii) any act or omission of any other tenant or
occupant of space in the Project. Without limiting the foregoing, the Tenant
hereby releases the Landlord, and the Released Persons, from all losses, damages
and claims of any kind in respect of which the Tenant is required to maintain
insurance or is otherwise insured. Solely for such purpose, and to the extent
that the Landlord expressly chooses to enforce the benefits of this section for
the Released Persons, it is agreed that the Landlord is the agent or trustee for
the Released Persons.

 
 
14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
5.21       Indemnity by the Tenant
 
The Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless the Released Persons against any
and all claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, demands and expenses
(including, without limitation, those in connection with bodily injury
(including death), personal injury or damage to property) arising from or out of
the occupancy or use by the Tenant of the Premises or any other part of the
Project or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of the Tenant,
its officers, employees, agents, contractors, invitees, licensees or by any
Person permitted by the Tenant to be on the Premises or due to or arising out of
any violation, non-performance or breach by the Tenant of this Lease.

 
5.22       Assigning and Subletting
 
The Tenant shall not Transfer the whole or any part of the Premises without the
prior written consent of the Landlord which consent may not be unreasonably or
arbitrarily withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord
shall not be obligated to provide such reasonable consent unless:
 
(a)  
the Tenant pays the Landlord's reasonable legal costs (on a solicitor and own
client basis) incurred with respect to the proposed Transfer;

 
(b)  
the Tenant provides to the Landlord financial information regarding the
potential Transferee which is reasonably adequate for the Landlord, in its sole
discretion, to determine whether such proposed Transferee would be favourable;

 
(c)  
the proposed Transferee executes the Landlord's then current form of consent to
such assignment and agrees thereunder to be bound by all the Tenant's
obligations and covenants under the Lease; and

 
(d)  
the Tenant has not been in material default under the terms of this Lease; and
the Landlord shall not be obligated to provide such consent if:

 
(e)  
the proposed Transferee is an existing occupant of any part of the Project or
has recently been a prospect involved in bona fide negotiations with Landlord
respecting the leasing of any premises in the Project or is in any way
affiliated with such existing occupant or bona fide prospect; or

 
(f)  
the proposed Transfer is a sublease, the Minimum and Additional Rent payable by
the Transferee is less than the greater of the: (i) then-prevailing fair market
rent for that portion of the Premises which the Tenant wishes to sublease, as
determined by the Landlord, in its sole discretion; and (ii) Minimum Rent and
Additional Rent payable by the Tenant of this Lease as at the effective date of
the Transfer (including any increases provided for in this Lease); or the
Transfer is otherwise on terms more favourable to the Transferee than the terms
of this Lease.

 
In the event that the Tenant assigns this Lease, or sublets or parts with
possession as aforesaid, without the prior written consent of the Landlord, the
Landlord may in its sole unfettered discretion terminate this Lease forthwith
without notice.
 
Any consent by the Landlord to a Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the
necessity for such consent to any subsequent Transfer. This prohibition against
Transfer shall include a prohibition against any Transfer by operation of law.
 
 
15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be subletted
or occupied by anybody other than the Tenant, the Landlord may collect Rent from
the assignee, sub-tenant 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, sub-tenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of the Tenant or any
guarantor or indemnifier hereunder from the further performance by the Tenant of
covenants on the part of the Tenant herein contained. Notwithstanding any
assignment or sublease, and notwithstanding the written consent of the Landlord
thereto, the Tenant and any indemnifier shall remain fully liable on this Lease
and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease.
 
If the Tenant intends to effect a Transfer, the Tenant shall give prior notice
to the Landlord of such intent specifying the identity of the Transferee, the
type of Transfer contemplated, the part of the Premises affected thereby, and
the financial and other terms of the Transfer, and shall provide such financial,
business or other information relating to the proposed Transferee and its
principals as the Landlord or any Mortgagee requires, together with copies of
all documents which record the particulars of the proposed Transfer. The
Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days after having received such
notice and all requested information, notify the Tenant either that:
 
(a)  
it consents or does not consent to the Transfer in accordance with the
provisions of this Lease;

 
(b)  
it elects to terminate this Lease as to the whole or the part, as the case may
be, of the Premises affected by the proposed Transfer; or

 
(c)  
it elects to take a Transfer from the Tenant upon the terms and conditions of
the proposed Transfer for which the Tenant requests the Landlord's consent, it
being understood that the Landlord shall at all times under such Transfer have
the rights and option to make a further Transfer of the interest so acquired by
the Landlord or any part thereof without obtaining the Tenant's consent and
without sharing any of the economic consideration received by the Landlord
thereunder.

 
If the Landlord elects to terminate this Lease it shall stipulate in its notice
the termination date of this Lease, which date shall be no less than thirty (30)
days nor more than ninety (90) days following the giving of notice of such
election. If the Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, the Tenant shall
notify the Landlord within ten (10) days thereafter of the Tenant's intention
either to refrain from such Transfer or to accept termination of this Lease or
the part thereof in respect of which the Landlord has exercised its rights. If
the Tenant fails to deliver such notice within such ten (10) days or notifies
the Landlord that it accepts the Landlord's termination, this Lease will, as to
the whole or affected part of the Premises, as the case may be, be terminated on
the date of termination stipulated by the Landlord in its notice of election to
terminate. If the Tenant notifies the Landlord within ten (l0) days that it
intends to refrain from such Transfer, then the Landlord's election to terminate
this Lease shall become void.

 
In the event of a Transfer, the Landlord shall have the following rights, and in
default of any of which no such Transfer shall occur or be effective: .
 
(a)  
to collect a deposit or further deposit to be held as a security deposit such
that the security deposit held by the Landlord shall be equivalent to at least
the Minimum 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 the Tenant and the Transferee and the Indemnifier, if any, to enter
into a written agreement to implement any amendments to this Lease to give
effect to the Landlord's exercise of any of its rights hereunder;

 
(c)  
to require the Transferee to enter into an agreement with the Landlord in
writing and under seal to be bound by all of the Tenant's obligations under this
Lease in respect of the Transferred Premises except in the case of a sublease,
that the Transferee will be so bound as if it had originally executed this Lease
as the Tenant, and for 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' 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 the Landlord will comprise a separate class for voting
purposes;

 
 
16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(d)  
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) and any amendments thereto and any other statutory provisions of the
same or similar effect, to pay Rent less than any amount payable hereunder;

 
(e)  
to require all amounts payable by the Transferee each month shall be paid
directly to the Landlord who shall apply the same on account of the Tenant's
obligations under this Lease but no acceptance by the Landlord of any payments
by a Transferee shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Tenant's covenants or any
acceptance of the Transferee as a tenant or a release of the Tenant from the
further performance by the Tenant of its obligations under this Lease;

 
(f)  
to require that this Lease be amended to delete therefrom any right of renewal,
right to terminate and any option or right of first refusal to purchase the
Premises;

 
(g)  
in the case of a sublease, to require the Transferee shall waive any rights it
may have under any legal or equitable rule of law or under the Commercial
Tenancies Act (Ontario), as amended from time to time, or any other applicable
legislation, to apply to a court or to otherwise elect to (i) retain the
unexpired Term of this Lease or the unexpired sublease term, (ii) obtain any
right to enter into any lease or other agreement directly with the Landlord for
the Premises or the subleased premises, or (iii) otherwise remain in possession
of any portion of the subleased premises or the Premises, in any case where this
Lease is terminated, surrendered or otherwise cancelled, including a disclaimer
of this Lease by a trustee in bankruptcy of the Tenant. The Tenant and the
Transferee shall promptly execute any agreement required by the Landlord to give
effect to the foregoing terms;

 
(h)  
to require that the minimum and additional rent payable by the Transferee shall
not be less than the greater of the: (1) Minimum Rent and Additional Rent
payable by the Tenant as at the effective date of the Transfer (including any
increases provided for in this Lease); and (2) then-prevailing fair market rent
for the Premises, as determined by the Landlord, in its sole discretion, except
in the case where the Landlord determines, in its sole discretion, that payment
of lesser rent by the Transferee will not detrimentally affect the leasing
program for the Project;

 
  (i)  
 if such minimum and additional rent to be paid by the Transferee under such
Transfer exceeds the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent payable by the Tenant
pursuant to this Lease, to require that the amount of such excess shall be paid
by the Tenant to the Landlord;

 
  (j)  
 if the Tenant receives from any Transferee, either directly or indirectly, any
consideration other than minimum rent or additional rent for such Transfer,
either in the form of cash, goods or services (other than the proceeds of any
financing as a result of a Transfer involving a mortgage, charge or similar
security interest in this Lease) to require that the Tenant shall forthwith pay
to the Landlord an amount equivalent to such consideration. The Tenant and the
Transferee shall execute any agreement required by the Landlord to give effect
to the foregoing terms;

 
  (k)  
 if the Transfer in respect of which consent has been given is not completed
within sixty (60) days of the date of such consent, or if the Tenant is in
default under this Lease, then such consent shall, at the Landlord's option,
become void;

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

 
  (m)  
 to require that the agreements referred to in this Section and any document
evidencing the Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall, at the Landlord's
option, be prepared by the Landlord or its solicitors at the Tenant's cost.

 
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 Landlord's failure to respond to any request for
consent or by Landlord's accepting any payment of any amount payable hereunder
from any party other than Tenant. 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.
 
 
17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
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.
 
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.
 
If the Tenant is at any time a corporation or partnership, any actual or
proposed Change of Control in such corporation or partnership or in any
corporation or group of corporations which controls the Tenant shall be deemed
to be a Transfer and subject to all of the provisions of this Section. The
Tenant shall make available to the Landlord or its representatives all of its
corporate or partnership records, as the case may be, for inspection at all
reasonable times, in order to ascertain whether any Change of Control has
occurred.
 
5.23       Acknowledgement of Tenancy
 
Within ten (10) days after request therefor by the Landlord, or in the event
that upon any sale or mortgage of the Premises and/or the Lands by the Landlord,
an acknowledgement of tenancy shall be required from the Tenant, the Tenant
agrees to deliver a certificate to any proposed mortgagee or purchaser, or to
the Landlord, certifying (if such be the case) that this Lease is in full force
and effect, that Rent is paid currently without any defenses or offsets thereto,
that the Tenant is in possession, that there are no prepaid Rents or security
deposits other than those set out in this Lease, and that there are no uncured
defaults by the Landlord or stating those claimed by the Tenant, and such other
matters as the Landlord may reasonably require. If the Tenant fails to execute
any certificate, agreement, instrument, or other document as required by the
foregoing provisions of this Lease within ten (10) days after request by the
Landlord, then the Landlord shall have the right, without limiting any other
rights of the Landlord hereunder or at law, to terminate this Lease or to
execute any such certificate, agreement, instrument or document on behalf of the
Tenant and in the Tenant's name, for which purpose the Tenant hereby appoints
the Landlord as the Tenant's attorney pursuant to the Powers of Attorney Act
(Ontario).

 
5.24       Lease Subordinate to Mortgages
 
This Lease and everything herein contained shall be deemed to be subordinate to
any charge created by the Landlord on the Premises or the Lands and the
Building, and the Tenant shall promptly at any time as required by the Landlord
execute all documents and give such further assurances as may be reasonably
required to postpone its rights and privileges to the holder of any charge;
provided that the mortgagee shall permit the Tenant to continue in quiet
possession of the Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Lease as long as the Tenant is not in default hereunder. 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 Project or any part thereof pursuant to
any Mortgage, the Tenant shall attorn to the Mortgagee or the purchaser upon any
such foreclosure or sale and recognize such Mortgagee or the purchaser as the
Landlord under this Lease.

 
18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
5.25       Tenant Responsible for Condition of Premises
 
The Tenant hereby assumes the sole responsibility for the condition, operation,
maintenance and management of the Premises, and the Landlord shall be under no
liability for injury to any servant, agent or employee of the Tenant or any
sub-lessee, licensee or invitee of the Tenant or for loss of or damage to the
property of the Tenant or any of the aforementioned persons. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Landlord shall be liable for any
injury or any damage to property referred to in this Section 5.25 if any such

work shall be included in Operating Costs, and amortized to the extent provided
pursuant to subsection (i) of the definition of Operating Costs in Schedule D.
For all purposes in this Lease, the Landlord's obligation in respect of the
repair of the Structure of the Building, and any reference to "Structure" or
"structural repairs" or words or phrases of similar import, shall be limited to

Tenant, and those for whom it is in law responsible.

 
6.4         Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning
 
(a)  
The Landlord shall provide processed air in such quantities and at such
temperatures as shall maintain in the Premises conditions of reasonable
temperature and comfort during Business Hours having regard to the age and size

reasonable opinion, differ in any material respect from the standard services
provided by the Landlord for the Building (such as, for example, special
requirements for computer installations), the Landlord will provide such
services if the Landlord determines, in its sole discretion, that the provision
of such services is within the capacity of the HVAC System, would not affect the

aesthetics of the Common Areas or the exterior aesthetics of the Building, would
not reduce the efficiency of the existing interior climate control services
provided to other tenants or parts of the Building, and is otherwise feasible.
The Tenant will pay to the Landlord all costs, both non recurring and recurring,
of providing such services. Such costs will be determined by the Landlord in a
reasonable manner. The Landlord may discontinue such services if this becomes
necessary to maintain or provide an equitable standard of service to all tenants
or other occupants of the Building.

 
 
21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(c)  
Notwithstanding Section 6.04(a) the Released Persons shall not be responsible
for inadequate performance of the HVAC System (i) if this is attributable to any
design, specifications, construction or installation done by or on behalf of the
Tenant, any arrangement of partitioning in the Premises or changes therein, the
failure to shade windows which are exposed to the sun, the production by the
Tenant of smoke, odours or contaminated air which the HVAC System is not
designed to accommodate, or any use of electrical power by the Tenant which
exceeds the standard of normal use as determined by the Landlord acting
reasonably, (ii) if the occupancy level of the Premises exceeds one person to
everyone hundred (100) square feet of rentable area of the Premises on an open
floor basis, or (iii) if the Tenant does not keep the heating, ventilation or
air conditioning vents or air returns free and clear of all obstructions.

 
(d)  
Arrangement of partitions, equipment or special purpose areas, or the
installation of equipment with high levels of heat production by the Tenant may
require alteration of the portion of the air conditioning and ventilation
systems located within the Premises. Balancing of the system within the Premises
shall be at the Tenant's expense. The Tenant acknowledges that the heating, air
conditioning and ventilation system 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 heating, air conditioning and ventilation system, and the
Tenant shall allow a reasonable amount of time for such readjustment and
rebalancing. The interior office layout or partitioning of the Premises shall be
modified by the Tenant, if necessary, in accordance with the reasonable
requirements of the Landlord to secure maximum efficiency of the HVAC System
serving the Premises. The Tenant shall comply with all the Rules and Regulations
pertaining to the operation and regulation of those portions of the HVAC System
within and serving the Premises, failing which the Landlord shall be entitled to
take such steps as it deems advisable including, without limitation, entering
upon the Premises and taking the necessary corrective action, and the Tenant
will pay to the Landlord, as an Additional Service, all costs incurred by the
Landlord in so doing.

 
(e)  
Tenant shall not install in the Premises, without the Landlord's prior written
consent, equipment (including telephone equipment) which generates sufficient
heat to affect the temperature otherwise maintained in the Premises by the air
conditioning system as normally operated. The Landlord may install supplementary
air 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 Tenant shall pay the Landlord the

7.4         Distress
 
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, 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.
 
7.5          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.

 
7.6         Costs
 
(a)  
The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all damages, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, all legal fees on a solicitor and its own client basis)
incurred by the Landlord in enforcing the terms of this Lease, or with respect
to any matter or thing which is the obligation of the Tenant under this Lease,
or in respect of which the Tenant has agreed to insure or to indemnify the
Landlord plus the greater of $200 and 20% of such amount for the Landlord's
overhead and administration, such amounts to be payable as Additional Rent upon
demand.

 
(b)  
Without duplication with Section 7.6(a), on each occurrence of default in the
payment of Rent, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord on demand in addition to
the interest at the Interest Rate, an administration fee equal to the greater
of:

 
(i)  
Two Hundred ($200.00) Dollars; and

(ii)  
two (2%) percent of the amount of Rent in default.

 
7.7         Survival of Obligations
 
The indemnity provisions of this Lease and the Landlord's rights in respect of
any failure by the Tenant to perform any of its obligations under this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term.

 
26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
7.8         Remedies Cumulative

 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the Landlord may from time to
time resort to any or all of the rights and remedies available to it in the
event of any default hereunder by the Tenant, either by any provision of this
Lease, by statute or common law, all of which rights and remedies are intended
to be cumulative and not alternative, and the express provisions hereunder as to
certain rights and remedies are not to be interpreted as excluding any other or
additional rights and remedies available to the Landlord by statute or the
general law.

 
7.9         Bankruptcy and Insolvency
 
The Tenant hereby waives 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 agrees that in the event of any such
proceeding Landlord will comprise a separate class for voting purposes.

 
7.10       Remedies to Subsist
 
No waiver of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease or of any of the
Landlord's rights in respect of any default by Tenant hereunder shall be deemed
to have occurred as a result of any condoning, overlooking or delay by the
Landlord in respect of any default by the Tenant or by any other act or omission
of the 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 the Tenant. The waiver by the Landlord of any default of the
Tenant or of any rights of the Landlord, which shall be effected only by an
express written waiver executed by the 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 the Tenant or right of the Landlord. The failure of the Landlord 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 Tenant
shall not be deemed to operate as a waiver of the future strict performance or
observance of such terms, covenants and conditions. The Tenant's obligations
under this Lease shall survive the expiry or earlier termination of this Lease
and shall remain in full force and effect until fully complied with.
 
7.11       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.

 
27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
7.12       Rights Against the Landlord
 
(a)  
The obligations of and rights against the Landlord with respect to the
performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition to be kept,
observed or performed by the Landlord under or pursuant to this Lease shall be
performed and satisfied and enforced only against, and recourse hereunder shall
be had only against, the Project and the interest of the Landlord therein and no
obligations of the Landlord with respect to the performance or observance of any
covenant, agreement or condition to be kept, observed or performed by the
Landlord under or pursuant to this Lease shall be personally binding on, and no
recourse shall be had, judgement issued or execution or other process levied
against the Landlord except to the extent that such process is necessary for the
enforcement of any covenant, condition or agreement to be kept, observed or
performed by the Landlord under or pursuant to this Lease.

 
(b)  
If the Landlord at any time becomes a partnership or joint venture and the
partnership or joint venture agreement in connection with such partnership or
joint venture provides that only the assets of the partnership or joint venture
and not the assets of the separate partners or joint venturers be available for
the satisfaction of the Landlord's obligations hereunder, the Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that the liability of the partners or joint venturers
shall be limited accordingly, and that recourse shall not be had to the partners
or joint venturers separately or to their separate assets.

 
7.13       Damage and Destruction
 
If during the Term the Building or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire,
lightning, tempest, structural defect, or by the Landlord or its servants,
agents or workmen or any additional perils from time to time defined and covered
in the standard fire insurance broad extended coverage contract in use during
the Term of this Lease, the following provisions shall have effect:
 
(a)  
If as a result of such damage, the Premises are rendered partially unfit for
occupancy by the Tenant, the Rent hereby reserved shall abate in the proportion
that the part of the Premises rendered unfit for occupancy by the Tenant is of
the whole of the Premises. If the Premises are rendered wholly unfit for
occupancy by the Tenant, the Rent hereby reserved (including any Additional
Rent) shall be suspended until the Premises have been re-built and repaired or
restored.

 
(b)  
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section (a) above, if the Building shall be
incapable of being re-built, repaired or restored with reasonable diligence
within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the occurrence of the damage then
the Landlord or the Tenant may either of them terminate this Lease by notice in
writing to the other given within thirty (30) days of the damage and on giving
of such notice this Lease shall cease and determine from the date of the damage,
the Tenant shall immediately surrender the premises and all interest therein to
the Landlord, the Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned and shall be

repaired or restored within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the occurrence
of such damage, then the Landlord shall proceed to rebuild, restore or repair
the Premises with reasonable promptness within the aforesaid one hundred and
twenty (120) days plus any periods of delay caused by strikes, lockouts,

Provided, however, that nothing in this proviso contained shall in any way be
deemed to affect the obligation of the Tenant to repair, maintain, replace or
rebuild the Premises, as otherwise provided by the Terms of this Lease, when
such work is made necessary by damage due to causes other than fire, lightning,
tempest, structural defects, or of the Landlord, its servant, agents or workmen
or any additional perils from time to time defined and covered in the standard

either the Premises or the Building in the last six months of the Term. In the
event the Landlord chooses not to repair such damage or destruction in the last
six months of the Term, the Landlord may terminate this Lease by thirty (30)

Tenant's previous Premises;

 
(b)  
should the rentable are of the premises to which the Tenant is relocated be
larger or smaller than the Rentable Area of the Premises, then the Rent shall be
proportionately adjusted to reflect such greater or lesser area by the ratio
which such increase or decrease in area bears to the original rentable are of
the Premises;

 
(c)  
the exercise of such rights shall be without recourse by the Tenant and without
any liability whatsoever to the Landlord except as specifically outlined in this
section and except that the reasonable costs of such relocation shall be paid by

breach by the Tenant of any term, covenant and condition of this Lease, other
than the failure of the Tenant to pay the particular Rental so accepted,

Minimum Rent payable under the Lease shall be deemed to be the aggregate of (i)
the Minimum Rent payable under Section 3.1 of this Lease, plus (ii) any Minimum
Rent that the Tenant shall have not paid during such portion of the Minimum
Rent-Free Period as shall have elapsed prior to the disclaimer.

conditions as are otherwise set out in this Lease, save and except as to a
further right of extension, and save and except as to the Minimum Rent payable

attributable to each component.

 
Adjustment of Operating Costs
 
Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Lease, if, at any time during an
Accounting Period, the Project is not one hundred percent (100%) occupied and
operational, the Landlord shall have the right to increase those items of
Operating Costs which vary with the extent of the occupancy or use of the
rentable premises in the Project (including, without limitation, cleaning costs,
supplies and garbage removal) to such an amount, as in the reasonable estimation
of the Landlord, would have been incurred if the Project were one hundred
percent (100%) occupied and operational for the entire Accounting Period and the

however, shall the Tenant have to pay an amount higher than it would have paid
if the Project had been fully occupied and operational.
