LEASE OF OFFICE SPACE 




MULTI-TENANT OFFICE BUILDING



THIS LEASE is made as of the 27th day of June, 2007




BETWEEN:


PENSIONFUND REALTY LIMITED,

a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario and

registered to carry on business in the Province of Alberta



(the “Landlord”)




AND:


TELVENT CANADA LTD.,

a company incorporated under the laws of Canada and registered to

carry on business in the Province of Alberta



(the “Tenant”)



IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:




ARTICLE 1.00 - DEFINITIONS



1.01 Definitions — In this Lease the terms defined in Schedule B shall have the meanings
designated therein respectively.




ARTICLE 2.00 - GRANT OF LEASE AND GENERAL COVENANTS




2.01 Grant — The Landlord hereby leases to the Tenant and the Tenant hereby leases from the
Landlord the Leased Premises, to have and to hold during the Term, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Lease.



2.02 Landlord’s General Covenants — The Landlord covenants with the Tenant:




	(a)	 	subject to the provisions of this Lease, for quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises so long
as the Tenant shall observe and perform all of the covenants and obligations of the Tenant
herein; and
	 
	(b)	 	to observe and perform all the covenants and obligations of the Landlord herein.





2.03 Tenant’s General Covenants — The Tenant covenants with the Landlord:




	(a)	 	to pay Rent without any deduction, abatement or set-off whatsoever; and




- 3 -









 






	(b)	 	to observe and perform all the covenants and obligations of the Tenant herein.





ARTICLE 3.00 - TERM AND POSSESSION




3.01 Term — The Term of this Lease shall begin on the Commencement Date and end on the date
set out in Item 7(b) of the Term Sheet unless terminated earlier as provided in this Lease.



3.02 Early Occupancy — The Tenant may, with the Landlord’s prior written consent, use and
occupy the Leased Premises or portions thereof before the Commencement Date. In the event of early
occupancy, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord on the date of occupancy a rental for the period
from the date the Tenant begins to use or occupy the Leased Premises or portions thereof to the
Commencement Date, which rental shall be that proportion of the Rent for the first calendar year of
the Term which the number of days in such period is of 365, multiplied by that proportion that the
part of the Leased Premises used and occupied from time to time by the Tenant prior to the
Commencement Date is of the total area of the Leased Premises. Except where clearly inapplicable,
all provisions of this Lease shall apply during such period.



3.03 Delayed Possession — If the Landlord is unable to deliver possession of all or any
portion of the Leased Premises by the Commencement Date, this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect and the Tenant shall take possession of the Leased Premises on the date when the Landlord
delivers possession of all of the Leased Premises, which date shall be conclusively established by
notice in writing from the Landlord to the Tenant at least 10 days before such date. The Landlord
shall not be liable to the Tenant for any loss, damage or inconvenience resulting from any delay in
delivering possession of the Leased Premises but, unless the delay is caused by or attributable to
the Tenant, its servants, agents or independent contractors, no Rent shall be payable by the Tenant
for the period prior to the date on which the Landlord can deliver possession of all of the Leased
Premises, unless the Tenant elects to take possession of a portion of the Leased Premises, in which
case Rent shall be payable in respect thereof from the date such possession is so taken. Despite
anything contained to the contrary in this Section 3.03, if the Landlord is of the opinion that it
is unable to deliver possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises by the expiration of
6 months from the Commencement Date, the Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon
written notice to the Tenant, whereupon neither party shall have any liability to the other and,
after the termination date, the Landlord shall return to the Tenant, without interest or deduction,
the Security Deposit, if any.



3.04 Acceptance of Leased Premises — Taking possession of all or any portion of the Leased
Premises by the Tenant shall be conclusive evidence as against the Tenant that the Leased Premises
or such portion thereof and the Common Elements are in satisfactory condition on the date of taking
possession, subject only to latent defects and to deficiencies (if any) listed in writing in a
notice delivered by the Tenant to the Landlord not more than 10 days after the date of taking
possession.

ARTICLE 4.00 - RENT




4.01 Rent — The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as Rent for the Leased Premises the
aggregate of:




	(a)	 	Basic Rent in respect of each year of the Term, payable in advance and without notice or
demand in monthly instalments as set out in Item 8 of the Term Sheet commencing on the
Commencement Date and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the Term;
	 
	(b)	 	the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of
Taxes, during the Term, in each case payable in monthly instalments at the times and in the
manner provided in Section 4.06; and
	 
	(c)	 	all amounts (other than payments under Subsections 4.01 (a) and (b)) payable by the Tenant to
the Landlord under this Lease, at the times and in the manner provided in this Lease or, if
not so provided, as reasonably required by the Landlord.





4.02 Security Deposit — The Landlord acknowledges receipt on or before the Commencement
Date of the amount set out in Item 6(a) of the Term Sheet (the “Security Deposit”) to be held by
the Landlord, without any liability whatsoever on the part of the 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 except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.02. The Security Deposit will not be a
limitation on the Landlord’s damages or other rights and remedies available under this Lease or at
law or in equity, nor shall the Security Deposit be either a payment of liquidated damages or an
advance payment of Rent. The Landlord shall have no fiduciary responsibilities or trust
obligations whatsoever with regard to the Security Deposit and shall not assume the duties of a
trustee for the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall not be mortgaged, assigned or
encumbered by the Tenant and the Landlord shall not be bound by any such mortgage, assignment or
encumbrance. It is understood and agreed between the parties that any portion of the Security
Deposit may, at the Landlord’s option, be applied toward the payment of overdue or unpaid Rent and
may also be applied as compensation to 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 the Tenant’s liability hereunder is not limited to the amount
of the Security Deposit. If during the Term any portion of the Security Deposit is so applied,
then the Tenant shall on written demand deliver to the Landlord a sufficient amount by certified
cheque to restore the Security Deposit to the original sum deposited. The Landlord shall refund to
the Tenant after the expiry date of this Lease any portion of the Security Deposit not used by the
Landlord after application by the Landlord to any damage incurred by the Landlord by reason of the
default of the Tenant under the terms of this Lease. It is further provided that the Landlord will
be discharged from all liability to the Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit to the extent
that it is transferred to any purchaser of the Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises.



- 5 -









 





4.03 Intent — It is the stated purpose and intent of the Landlord and the Tenant that this
Lease and the Rent shall be fully net to the Landlord.



4.04 Payment of Rent — General — All amounts payable by the Tenant to the Landlord pursuant
to this Lease shall be deemed to be Rent and shall be payable and recoverable as Rent in the manner
herein provided and the Landlord shall have all rights against the Tenant for default in any such
payment as in the case of arrears of Rent. Rent shall be paid to the Landlord in lawful money of
Canada, without deduction, abatement or set-off, at the local address of the Landlord set out in
Item 1 of the Term Sheet or to such other Person or such other address as the Landlord may from
time to time designate in writing. The Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Any Rent or other sum received or accepted by the
Landlord and paid by anyone other than the Tenant, on behalf of the Tenant, shall not release or in
any way affect the covenants of the Tenant set out in this Lease and shall not be deemed to
constitute or evidence the Landlord’s consent to a Transfer under Article 12.00. Any Rent or other
sum received by the Landlord from or for the account of the Tenant while the Tenant is in default
under this Lease may be applied at the Landlord’s option to the satisfaction in whole or in part of
any of the obligations of the Tenant then due under this Lease in such manner as the Landlord sees
fit regardless of any designation or instruction of the Tenant to the contrary.



4.05 Partial Month — If the Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a
calendar month, or if the Term ends on any day other than the last day of a calendar month, Rent
for the fractions of a month at the beginning and at the end of the Term shall be adjusted pro rata
on a per diem basis.



4.06 Payment of Tenant’s Occupancy Costs 





	(1)	 	Estimate and Payment
	 
	(a)	 	The Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant a written estimate or a written revised estimate of:
(i) the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for each Fiscal Year; and (ii) the
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for each Fiscal Year. The Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord the amount so estimated in equal monthly instalments (except as otherwise required in
this Section 4.06 with respect to Property Taxes) in advance over that Fiscal Year
simultaneously with the Tenant’s payments on account of Basic Rent. If the Landlord does not
deliver to the Tenant such an estimate, the Tenant shall continue to pay the Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes based on
the last such estimate delivered by the Landlord until a further estimate is delivered by the
Landlord and the next payment on account of the Tenant’s Operating Costs or Taxes shall be
adjusted to take into account any over or under payment in the preceding instalments paid in
the Fiscal Year to which the estimate or revised estimate relates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as soon as bills for all or any portion of amounts included in Operating Costs and
Taxes as so estimated are received, the Landlord may bill the Tenant for the Tenants
Proportionate Share thereof and the Tenant shall pay the Landlord such amounts so billed (less
all amounts previously paid




- 6 -









 






	 	 	on account by the Tenant on the basis of the Landlord’s estimate as aforesaid) as Rent
within 5 days following demand therefor.
	 
	(b)	 	Within a reasonable time after the date in each calendar year when the final instalment of
Property Taxes is due in respect of commercial properties generally in the municipality in
which the Project is located (the “Final Payment Date”), the Landlord shall deliver a
statement (the “Tax Statement”) to the Tenant that: (i) specifies the Tenant’s Proportionate
Share of Taxes for the Property Tax Year; and (ii) sets out the total (the “Prepayment Total”)
of amounts payable under this Subsection 4.06(1)(b) that have been paid by the Tenant between
the Final Payment Date in the previous Property Tax Year and the Final Payment Date of the
current Property Tax Year. If the Prepayment Total, less any amounts that were previously
credited to the Tenant, and any amounts paid for arrears in respect of previous Property Tax
Years, (the “Net Prepayment Total”) is less than the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes
specified in the Tax Statement, the Tenant shall pay the deficiency with the next monthly
payment of Basic Rent. If the Net Prepayment Total exceeds the Tenant’s Proportionate Share
of Taxes specified in the Tax Statement, the Landlord shall, unless the Tenant is then in
default under this Lease, credit the excess to the Tenant on account of the next succeeding
payments of the Tenant’s Occupancy Costs. The Landlord may estimate Property Taxes for the
Property Tax Year following the then current Property Tax Year and the Tenant shall continue
after the Final Payment Date to make monthly payments in advance, in amounts determined by the
Landlord, for periods determined by the Landlord. The monthly payments paid by the Tenant
after the Final Payment Date shall be credited against the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of
Taxes for the subsequent Property Tax Year.
	 
	(c)	 	Any portion of the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes accrued with respect to the Term or
any part thereof paid by the Landlord prior to the Commencement Date shall be reimbursed by
the Tenant to the Landlord on the Commencement Date or on demand thereafter. Subject to
Sections 8.03 and 8.05, the Tenant shall pay the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any Property
Taxes or the Landlord’s reasonable estimate thereof monthly in advance in the same manner as
for payment of the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs.
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord shall always have the right:






(i) to revise the amount of instalments on account of Property Taxes payable by the Tenant
to an amount that allows the Landlord to collect all Property Taxes payable by the Tenant by
the final due date of Property Taxes for the calendar year; and/or




(ii) to schedule and require payment by the Tenant of instalments on account of Property
Taxes payable by the Tenant such that by the final due data of Property Taxes for any
calendar year, the Tenant shall have paid to the Landlord the full amount of Property Taxes
payable by the Tenant for such calendar year, which arrangement may include payment of
instalments by the Tenant in a calendar year on account of Property Taxes payable by the
Tenant for the next calendar year.

(2) Annual Statement and Adjustment - The Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant within 120 days
after the end of each Fiscal Year or as soon after that date as the same shall be prepared by or
for the Landlord, a written statement setting out in reasonable detail the amount of the Tenant’s
Occupancy Costs for such Fiscal Year. If the total of monthly instalments of the Tenant’s
Occupancy Costs actually paid by the Tenant to the Landlord during that Fiscal Year differs from
the amount of the Tenant’s Occupancy Costs payable for that Fiscal Year under Subsection 4.01(b),
the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord or, if the Tenant is not in default, the Landlord shall credit
to the Tenant on account of the next succeeding payments of the Tenant’s Operating Costs and Taxes,
as the case may be, the difference, without interest, within 30 days after the date of delivery of
the statement.



(3) Disputes — If the Tenant disputes the Landlord’s statement setting out Operating Costs or the
Tax Statement for any Fiscal Year, the Tenant shall provide notice thereof in writing to the
Landlord within 60 days of delivery of the applicable statement in respect of that Fiscal Year.
Notwithstanding delivery of such notice, the Tenant shall continue to pay Rent in accordance with
the terms of this Lease. In the event of a dispute, the determination of the Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs or the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes as made by the
Landlord’s auditors shall be conclusive and binding upon both the Landlord and the Tenant. All
costs of obtaining such determination shall be included in Operating Costs; provided that if the
Landlord’s auditors confirm the Landlord’s calculations within a variance of 5%, the Tenant shall
be solely responsible for the entire cost of such determination and shall pay such costs to the
Landlord forthwith upon demand. If the Tenant and any one or more of the other tenants in the
Project are responsible to pay such costs, the Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable with
such other tenant or tenants.



4.07 Resolution of Disputes — In the event of any disagreement as to the amount or
propriety of any amount included in Operating Costs, a certificate of the auditor of the Landlord,
acting reasonably, shall be conclusive as to the amount of Operating Costs for any period to which
such certificate relates.



4.08 Area Determination — The Landlord may from time to time, as it deems necessary, cause
the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises and the Total Rentable Area of the Building or any part
thereof to be recalculated or remeasured and the cost thereof shall be included in Operating Costs
(except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.08). Upon any such recalculation or remeasurement,
Rent (including without limitation Basic Rent) shall be adjusted accordingly. If any calculation
or determination by the Landlord of the Rentable Area of any premises (including the Leased
Premises) is disputed or called into question, it shall be calculated or determined by the
Landlord’s architect or surveyor from time to time appointed for that purpose, whose certificate
shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The cost of such calculation or
determination shall be included in Operating Costs; provided that if the Tenant disputes the
Landlord’s calculation or determination and the calculation or determination by the Landlord’s
architect or surveyor agrees with the Landlord’s calculation or determination within a 2% variance,
the Tenant shall pay the full cost of such calculation or determination forthwith upon demand. If
the Tenant and any one or more of the other tenants in the Project are responsible to pay such
costs, the Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable with such other tenant or tenants.



- 8 -








 





If any error shall be found in the calculation of the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises or in
the calculation of the Tenant’s Proportionate Share, Rent (including without limitation Basic Rent)
shall be adjusted for the Fiscal Year in which the error is discovered and for the Fiscal Year
preceding the Fiscal Year in which the error was discovered, if any, and thereafter, but not for
any prior period.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord and Tenant agree that the area of the Leased Premises
shall be as stipulated in Item 5 of the Term Sheet, subject to any construction or redevelopment to
the Building which results in an increase or decrease of the overall Building area.



4.09 Vacancy — If any part of the Building available for leasing is not occupied, the
Landlord shaft have the right, in respect of amounts forming part of Operating Costs which vary
proportionately with occupancy, to include in Operating Costs a larger amount of costs, which
larger amount shall be based an a reasonable estimate of the actual cast which would have been
incurred if the unoccupied parts of the Building available for leasing were occupied, it being
intended hereby that the Landlord shall obtain, to the extent reasonably possible, full
reimbursement of Operating Costs attributable to or in respect of occupied premises, and not that:
(i) the Tenant shall subsidize Operating Costs incurred by the Landlord attributable to or in
respect of vacant premises; or (ii) the Landlord shall recover more than actual Operating Costs.



4.10 Method of Payment




(1) Unless the Landlord advises otherwise in writing, the Tenant shall provide to the Landlord on
or before the Commencement Date and thereafter on or before the beginning of each Fiscal Year
during the Term and within 10 days after delivery of the Landlord’s estimate of any payment
constituting Rent, postdated cheques in the amount of Rent for each month during that Fiscal Year.



(2) At the Landlord’s request, the Tenant shall participate in a pre-authorized payment plan
whereby the Landlord will be authorized to debit the Tenant’s bank account each month or from time
to time for Rent payable on a monthly basis, and any amount payable provisionally on an estimated
basis. The Tenant hereby undertakes to execute and deliver such documents as may reasonably be
required to give full force and effect to this Subsection 4.10(2) within 5 days of such request.

	(d)	 	the making by the Tenant of any repairs, changes or improvements in or to the Project;





and the Tenant shall immediately give written notice to the Landlord of the occurrence of any event
in the Leased Premises constituting an offence thereunder or being in breach thereof and if the
Tenant shall, either alone or with others, cause the happening of any such event, the Tenant shall
immediately give the Landlord notice to that effect and thereafter give the Landlord from time to
time written notice of the extent and nature of the Tenant’s compliance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section.



The Tenant agrees that if the Landlord determines in its sole discretion that the Landlord, its
property, its reputation or the Leased Premises or any one or more of the foregoing is placed in
any jeopardy, as determined by the Landlord, by the requirements for any work required to ensure

its obligations under this Section, the Landlord may itself undertake such work or any part thereof
at the cost and expense of the Tenant.



The Tenant shall, at its own expense, remedy any damage to the Leased Premises caused by such event
or work or by the performance of the Tenant’s obligations under this Section.

with the applicable provisions of this Lease, to the extent that it can be done within the Leased

seismic upgrading, is required to permit the Tenant’s use, the Landlord may, at its sole
discretion, terminate this Lease.



5.03 Prohibited Uses — The Tenant shall not commit, cause or permit any nuisance in or
about or any damage to the Leased Premises or any part thereof, the Building, the Project or any of

Project. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Tenant shall not use or permit the
use of any portion of the Leased Premises for any dangerous, illegal, noxious, odorous or offensive
trade, business or occurrence. The Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises free of debris,

the foregoing prohibition, the Landlord may demand and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord upon
demand, the amount of any increase in the cost of insurance caused by anything so done or omitted
or permitted to be done. The Tenant shall forthwith upon the Landlord’s request comply with the
requirements of the Landlord’s insurers, cease any activity complained of and make good any
circumstance which has caused any increase in insurance premiums or the cancellation or threatened
cancellation of any insurance policy. In determining the amount of increased premiums for which
the Tenant is responsible, a schedule or statement issued by the Person who computes the insurance
rates for the Landlord showing the components of the rate shall be conclusive evidence of the items
that make up the rate. If any policy of insurance in respect of the Project or any part thereof is
cancelled or becomes subject to cancellation by reason of anything so done or omitted or permitted
to be done, the Landlord may without prior notice terminate this Lease and re-enter the Leased
Premises.

	(a)	 	if and so long as all or part of the systems, facilities and equipment in the Project or the

	(b)	 	the Landlord may temporarily discontinue such Services or any of them at such times as may

whether direct or indirect, to any Person or property resulting from any failure to do so;






	(d)	 	no reduction or discontinuance of Services under this Section 6.03 shall be construed as a

except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, release the Tenant from any
obligation under this Lease;






	(e)	 	the Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for any damage caused by

(g) nothing contained herein shall derogate from the provisions of Article 10.00.



6.04 Alterations/Renovations by Landlord — During the Term or any renewal or extension
thereof, it is understood and agreed that, if the Landlord intends to make changes, additions or
improvements to or renovate the Project or any part thereof, of which the Leased Premises form a
part (the “Renovation Work”), notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the
Landlord, its servants, agents, contractors and representatives may proceed with the Renovation
Work without further consent or approval of the Tenant and the Tenant hereby irrevocably grants to
the Landlord its consent to the carrying out of the Renovation Work; provided that the Renovation
Work shall not materially interfere with or adversely affect the business of the Tenant carried on
in the Leased Premises. It is specifically understood and agreed that there shall be no
compensation paid to the Tenant nor shall there be any abatement of Rent in connection with the
Renovation Work. In exercising its rights pursuant to this Section 6.04, the Landlord shall be
entitled to:




	(a)	 	enter the Leased Premises from time to time to make changes or additions to the structure,
systems, facilities and equipment in the Leased Premises where necessary to serve the Leased
Premises or other parts of the Building;






	(b)	 	limit from time to time as may be necessary by reason of the Renovation Work, ingress to and
egress from the Leased Premises and/or the Project:






	(c)	 	change, add to, diminish, demolish, dedicate for public purposes part or parts of, improve or
alter any part of the Project not in or forming part of the Leased Premises; and





(d) change, add to, diminish, improve or alter the location and extent of the Common Elements.



The Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to give to the Tenant notice of its
intention to proceed with the Renovation Work and the Tenant shall cooperate with the Landlord in

agreed by the Landlord and the Tenant that the Landlord shall not, by reason of exercising its
rights pursuant to this Section 6.04, be in default or be deemed to be in default of any covenant
or proviso contained in this Lease or at law.



6.05 Access by Landlord — The Tenant shall permit the Landlord to enter the Leased Premises
at any time in case of an emergency or a health related issue, either real or perceived, and

with the Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises or operation of its business, to: (i) examine, inspect
and show the Leased Premises for purposes of leasing, sale or financing; (ii) provide Services or
make repairs, replacements, changes or alterations as provided for in this Lease; or (iii) take
such steps as the Landlord may deem necessary for the safety, improvement
or preservation of the Leased Premises or the Project. The Tenant shall cooperate with the
Landlord in any such entry by the Landlord into the Leased Premises. The Landlord shall, whenever
possible, consult with or give reasonable notice to the Tenant prior to entry but no



- 18 -









 




such entry
shall constitute an eviction or a breach of the Landlord’s covenant for quiet enjoyment or entitle
the Tenant to any abatement of Rent.



6.06 Energy Conservation — The Landlord shall be deemed to have observed and performed its
obligations under this Lease, including those relating to the provision of utilities and Services,
if in so doing it acts in accordance with a directive, policy or request of an authority having
jurisdiction in the field of energy conservation, security or environmental matters.



6.07 Supervision and Extended Services — The Landlord, if it shall from time to time so
elect, shall have the right to supervise the moving of furniture or equipment of the Tenant and (in
addition to supervising the Tenant’s work as provided for in this Lease) to supervise the making of
repairs conducted within the Leased Premises and the exclusive right to supervise or make
deliveries to the Leased Premises. In addition, and by arrangement with the Tenant, the Landlord
may provide extended cleaning or other services to the Tenant in addition to those normally
supplied and referred to in this Lease. In each case, the Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred
with respect thereto together with a reasonable administration fee shall be paid to the Landlord by
the Tenant from time to time promptly upon receipt of invoices from the Landlord.



6.08 Landlord’s Work — The Tenant agrees that it has entered into this Lease on the express
understanding that, unless otherwise specifically provided in Schedule D or Schedule E, the Leased
Premises are being leased “as is” and that the Landlord’s work in respect of the Leased Premises is
limited to the scope delineated as Landlord’s work in Schedule D. All other improvements to the
Leased Premises shall be performed at the sole expense of the Tenant in accordance with the terms
of this Lease including, but not limited to, Section 7.04.



6.09 Control by Landlord — The Tenant agrees that the Landlord shall have control of the
Project and, without limiting the generality of anything contained elsewhere in this Lease, the
Landlord may make such use of the Common Elements and permit others to make such use of the Common
Elements as the Landlord may from time to time determine subject, in the case of use by others, to
such terms and conditions and for such consideration as the Landlord may in its discretion
determine, provided that such uses do not materially obstruct access to the Leased Premises and the
Landlord may temporarily close all or any part or parts of the Project to such extent as may, in
the opinion of the Landlord or any Consultants engaged by the Landlord in that regard, be legally
sufficient to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of rights therein to any Person or the
public.



ARTICLE
7.00 - PAYMENT FOR SERVICES AND MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND ALTERATIONS BY TENANT


7.01 Utilities — In addition to the payment of the Tenant’s Occupancy Costs and
notwithstanding Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of all
utilities including electricity supplied to the Leased Premises. The Tenant shall not, without the
prior written approval of the Landlord, which may be arbitrarily withheld, install or cause to be
installed in the Leased Premises any equipment that will require additional utility usage or any
telecommunications lines and/or conduits in excess of that normally required for office premises.
If, with the Landlord’s approval, such additional equipment is installed, the Tenant shall be



- 19 -








 





solely responsible for such excess utility usage. If utilities are supplied to the Tenant through
a meter common to other tenants in the Project (there being no obligation on the Landlord to
install separate meters), the Landlord shall pay the cost of the utilities and apportion the cost
pro rata among the tenants supplied through the common meter, based on all relevant factors
including, but not limited to, the hours of use, number and types of lights and electrical
equipment and the proportion of each tenant’s Rentable Area to the Rentable Area of all tenants to
which the common meter relates. Upon receipt of the Landlord’s statement of apportionment, the
Tenant shall promptly reimburse the Landlord for all amounts apportioned to the Tenant by the
Landlord; provided that the Landlord may elect by notice to the Tenant to estimate the amount which
will be apportioned to the Tenant and require the Tenant to pay that amount in monthly instalments
in advance simultaneously with the Tenant’s payments of Basic Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and whether the Leased Premises are separately metered or not, the Landlord may purchase in bulk
from the utility supplier the aggregate utility requirements of the Project at the applicable rates
determined by a single meter on the Project and may, in billing the Tenant for its share of such
utility, apply a scale of rates not greater than the current scale of rates at which the Tenant
would from time to time be purchasing the whole of its utilities required and consumed in respect
of the Leased Premises if the Tenant were purchasing directly from the utility supplier. The
Tenant shall upon the Landlord’s request install a separate utility meter or meters in the Leased
Premises at the Tenant’s expense.



In addition to the payments to the Landlord required by this Article 7.00, the Tenant shall pay all
rates, charges, costs and expenses as may be assessed or levied by any supplier of utilities to the
Tenant other than those supplied by the Landlord.



7.02 Lights — In addition to the payment of the Tenant’s Occupancy Costs and
notwithstanding Sections 6.01 and 6.02, except to the extent the same is included in Operating
Costs, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord monthly in advance, with its payments of Basic Rent, a
reasonable amount as determined by the Landlord in respect of replacement of building standard
fluorescent tubes, light bulbs and ballasts in the Leased Premises on a periodic basis or as
required from time to time and the costs of cleaning, maintaining and servicing of the electrical
light fixtures in the Leased Premises.



7.03 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning — In addition to the payment of the Tenant’s
Occupancy Costs and notwithstanding Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the Tenant shall be responsible for the
cost of all heating, ventilation and air conditioning required in the Leased Premises or any part
thereof in excess of that required to be provided by the Landlord under Section 6.02(d). If at any
time during the Term the Landlord shall determine that the cost of the heating, ventilation and air
conditioning required in the Leased Premises or any part thereof is in excess of that normally
required in other parts of the Building which are used for normal office purposes, the Landlord may
deliver to the Tenant a statement in writing setting out the cost of the excess and upon receipt of
the statement from time to time the Tenant shall promptly reimburse the Landlord for the amount
shown in the statement as attributable to the Leased Premises.



7.04 Alterations by Tenant — The Tenant may from time to time at its own expense make
changes, additions and improvements to the Leased Premises to better adapt the same to its
business, provided that any change, addition or improvement shall:



- 20 -









 





	(a)	 	comply with the requirements of the Landlord’s insurers and any governmental or municipal
authority having jurisdiction;






	(b)	 	be made only if, prior to preparation of any plans and specifications and prior to
commencement of any work in the Leased Premises, including, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, any demolition, construction or alterations, the Tenant has determined through
testing at its own cost and expense what Pollutants, if any, are present in the Leased
Premises and, if the Tenant fails to do so, the Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord from and against any and all Claims growing or
arising out of the Tenant’s failure to do so;






	(c)	 	be made only after detailed plans and specifications therefor have been submitted to the
Landlord and received the prior written approval of the Landlord, all at the expense of the
Tenant, and should the Landlord provide its written approval, such approval shall not be
deemed to mean that the proposed changes, additions or improvements comply with any existing
or future municipal by-laws or any other applicable laws, by-laws, codes or requirements. All
costs incurred with respect to such approval shall be at the expense of the Tenant. Any
changes, additions and/or improvements affecting the Building’s electrical, mechanical and/or
structural components shall only be performed by contractors selected by the Landlord (the
“Landlord’s Contractors”). A list of the Landlord’s Contractors is available upon request;





(d) equal or exceed the then current standard for the Building;



	(e)	 	be carried out in a good and workmanlike manner and, subject to Subsection 7.04(c), only by
Persons selected by the Tenant and approved in writing by the Landlord who shall, if required
by the Landlord, deliver to the Landlord before commencement of the work, materials,
performance and payment bonds as well as proof of workers’ compensation, construction

additional insureds, in amounts, with companies and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Landlord, which shall remain in effect during the entire period in which the work will be
carried out; and






	(f)	 	be made only after the Tenant has provided to the Landlord evidence of all requisite permits
and licenses and any other information reasonably required by the Landlord.





Upon completion of such change, addition or improvement, the Tenant shall provide to the Landlord
as-built drawings and/or a CAD disk of same in a format useable by the Landlord, together with
evidence satisfactory to the Landlord of a final inspection of such change, addition
or improvement (including inspection of mechanical and electrical systems where applicable) by the
authority which issued the permit or license for same.



It is understood and agreed that the Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever
with respect to any such work or attendant materials left or installed in the Project and shall be



- 21 -








 





reimbursed for any Outlays and for any delays caused to the Landlord or its contractor(s) directly
or indirectly as a result thereof. The Tenant shall be solely responsible for the removal of any
and all construction refuse or debris resulting from such work with such removal to occur only
after normal business hours.



Any increase in Taxes or fire or casualty insurance premiums for the Project attributable to such
change, addition or improvement shall be borne by the Tenant. The Tenant shall promptly repair at
its own expense any damage to the Leased Premises or the Project, including without limitation the
property of others, resulting from such changes, additions or improvements.



7.05 Tenant’s Trade Fixtures and Personal Property — The Tenant may install in the Leased

time to time in the ordinary course of the Tenant’s business or in the course of reconstruction,
renovation or alteration of the Leased Premises by the Tenant, subject to the provisions of Article
14.00, and provided that the Tenant promptly repairs at its own expense any damage to the Leased
Premises and the Building resulting from the installation and removal and provided further that in
the event of removal of trade fixtures, except at the expiration of the Term, the Tenant shall
promptly replace such trade fixtures with trade fixtures of equal or greater quality and value,
subject to the provisions of Section 14.01.



7.06 Maintenance and Repair — Except to the extent that the Landlord is specifically
responsible therefor under this Lease, the Tenant, at its cost, shall maintain, repair and replace
the Leased Premises, all Leasehold Improvements and all apparatus therein in good order and
condition, and in compliance with the requirements of all authorities having jurisdiction,
including without limitation:




	(a)	 	keeping the Leased Premises and the immediate surrounding area in a clean and tidy condition

the Leased Premises; and






	(d)	 	keeping the Leased Premises in such condition as to comply with the requirements of any

	(b)	 	to inspect any work being done by the Tenant both during the course of such work and
following completion thereof.





If the Landlord or the Landlord’s Agent shall determine that the work being done by the Tenant is
in breach of this Lease or fails to comply with the requirements of this Lease in any respect, the
Tenant shall forthwith remedy such breach or failure to comply and shall desist from continuing the
same. The Tenant shall, at its own cost, make good any deficiency in such work and remedy any

	(a)	 	pay promptly when due all costs for work done or caused to be done or goods affixed by the

interest or notice thereof;






	(b)	 	keep the title to the Project, including every part thereof and the Leasehold Improvements,
free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or security interest or notice thereof; and






	(c)	 	indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord against any Claims arising out of the supply of

interest, or notice thereof or other action of which it has, or reasonably should have, knowledge
and which affects the title to the Project or any part thereof and, except for those contemplated

All policies of insurance shall be placed with a company licensed to sell commercial insurance in
Canada.



The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, if it fails to obtain and maintain in force any of the
insurance policies set out in this Section 9.02, then the Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Landlord in respect of any losses arising therefrom.



9.03 Placement of Tenant’s Insurance by Landlord — If the Tenant fails to place or maintain
all or any of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 9.02, the Landlord may, at its option,
place all or any part of such insurance in the name of or on behalf of the Tenant and the Tenant
shall pay to the Landlord upon demand all costs incurred by the Landlord in so doing including,
without limitation, the premium or premiums for such insurance together with the Landlord’s
administrative fee of 15% of such premium.



9.04 Limitation of Landlord’s Liability — The Landlord, the Landlord’s Agent, their
employees and any Person for whom any of them are in law responsible shall not be liable under any
circumstances for any damage caused by anything done or omitted to be done by any other



- 28 -









 







tenant of the Project or any Person for whom such tenant is in law responsible or any damage
resulting from the exercise of the Landlord’s control over the Project or any part thereof.



9.05 Environmental Issues




(1) Landlord’s Requirements - The Tenant shall not bring into or allow to be present in the Leased
Premises or the Project any Pollutants except such as are disclosed in Schedule H hereto. If the
Tenant or its employees or those for whom it is in law responsible shall bring, create, discharge
or release upon, in or from the Project, including the Leased Premises, any Pollutants, whether or
not disclosed in Schedule H and whether during the Term of this Lease or any prior lease by the
Tenant, then such Pollutants shall be and remain the sole property of the Tenant and the Tenant
shall promptly remove same at its sole cost at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term or
sooner if required by the Landlord. For greater certainty, the Tenant shall not be permitted to
carry out any type of risk assessment of the Leased Premises or the Project as purported compliance
with the requirements of this Subsection 9.05(1).



(2) Governmental Requirements - If, during the Term or any renewal or extension of this Lease or at
any time thereafter, any governmental authority shall require the clean-up of any Pollutants:




	(a)	 	held in, discharged in or from, released from, abandoned in, or placed upon the Leased
Premises or the Project by the Tenant or its employees or those for whom it is in law
responsible; or






	(b)	 	released or disposed of by the Tenant or its employees or those for whom it is in law
responsible;





whether during the Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises or any other premises in the Project
pursuant to this Lease or any prior lease by the Tenant of the Leased Premises or any other
premises in the Project, then the Tenant shall, at its own expense, carry out all required work,
including preparing all necessary studies, plans and approvals and providing all bonds and other
security required by any governmental authority or required by the Landlord and shall provide full
information with respect to all such work to the Landlord; provided that the Landlord may, at its
option, perform any such work at the Tenant’s sole cost and expense, payable on demand as
additional Rent.



(3) Environmental Covenants - In addition to and without restricting any other obligations or
covenants herein, the Tenant covenants that it will:




	(a)	 	comply in all respects with all Environmental Laws relating to the Leased Premises or the use
of the Leased Premises;






	(b)	 	promptly notify the Landlord in writing of any notice by any governmental authority alleging
a possible violation of or with respect to any other matter involving any Environmental Laws
relating to operations in the Leased Premises or relating to any Person for whom it is in law
responsible or any notice from any other party concerning any release or alleged release of
any Pollutants; and




- 29 -









 











(c) permit the Landlord to:




	 	(i)	 	enter and inspect the Leased Premises and the operations conducted therein;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	conduct tests and environmental assessments or appraisals:
	 
	 	(iii)	 	remove samples from the Leased Premises; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	examine and make copies of any documents or records relating to the Leased Premises and
interview the Tenant’s employees as necessary; and





(d) promptly notify the Landlord of the existence of any Pollutants in the Project.



(4) Environmental Indemnification - The Tenant shall, during the Term and at all times thereafter,
indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless at all times from and against any and all losses, damages,
penalties, fines, costs, fees and expenses (including legal fees on a solicitor and client basis
and Consultants’ fees and expenses) resulting from:




	(a)	 	any breach of or non-compliance with the environmental obligations and covenants of the
Tenant as set out in this Lease; and






	(b)	 	any legal or administrative action commenced by, or claim made or notice from, any third
party, including, without limitation, any governmental authority, to or against the Landlord
and pursuant to or under any Environmental Laws or concerning a release or alleged release of
Pollutants at the Leased Premises into the environment and related to or as a result of the
operations of the Tenant or those acting under its authority or control at the Leased Premises
or any other premises in the Project, and any and all costs associated with air quality
issues, if any, and whether during the Term of this Lease or any prior lease by the Tenant of
the Leased Premises or any other premises in the Project.





Notwithstanding anything set out in this Lease to the contrary, the Landlord acknowledges and
agrees that the Tenant shall not be liable for any Pollutants in, on, over, under or emanating from
the Project prior to the date which is the earliest of the following: (a) the date on which the
Tenant takes occupancy of the Leased Premises under this Lease; or (b) the date on which the Tenant
took occupancy of the Leased Premises under any prior lease of the Leased Premises; or (c) the date
on which the Tenant took occupancy of any other premises in the Project under any other lease of
such other premises in the Project; or (d) the Commencement Date of this Lease, provided the
Tenant, its representatives, employees, agents, visitors or those authorized to be in the Leased
Premises or the Project, invitees, contractors and all other persons for whom the Tenant is in law
responsible in no way contributed to the existence, damage, disturbance or release in any way of
any such Pollutants in, on, over, under or emanating from the Project.



ARTICLE 10.00 - DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION




10.01 Limited Damage to Leased Premises, Access or Services — If during the Term, the
Leased Premises or any part thereof, or other portions of the Building providing access or



- 30 -









 







Services essential to the Leased Premises, shall be destroyed or damaged by any hazard against
which the Landlord is obligated to insure pursuant to Section 9.01, the Landlord, if permitted by
law to do so, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and restore or repair the Leased
Premises or comparable premises or such access routes or Service systems, as the case may be, in
conformance with current laws to the extent of insurance proceeds received. The covenants of the
Tenant to repair shall not include any repairs of damage required to be made by the Landlord under
this Section 10.01. For greater certainty, it is understood and agreed that, upon substantial
completion of the Landlord’s work, the Tenant shall repair or restore the Leased Premises as
required by Section 7.06. Rent payable by the Tenant shall abate from the date of such damage or
destruction to the date of substantial completion of the Landlord’s work as determined by the
Landlord’s architect or engineer or restoration of access or Services, as the case may be. If less
than all of the Leased Premises is destroyed or damaged as contemplated in this Section 10.01, Rent
payable by the Tenant shall abate from the date of such damage or destruction to the date of
substantial completion of the Landlord’s work in the same proportion as the Rentable Area of the
Leased Premises so damaged or destroyed is of the total Rentable Area of the Leased Premises.



10.02 Major Damage to Leased Premises — Notwithstanding any other right of termination
contained herein, if the Leased Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by any hazard against which
the Landlord is obligated to insure under this Lease, and if in the opinion of the Landlord’s
architect or engineer, given within 30 Business Days of the happening of said damage or
destruction, said damage or destruction is to the extent that the Leased Premises shall be
incapable of being rebuilt or repaired or restored with reasonable diligence within 6 months after
the occurrence of such damage or destruction, then the Landlord may, at its option, terminate this
Lease by notice in writing to the Tenant. If such notice is given by the Landlord under this
Section 10.02, then this Lease shall terminate on the date of such notice and the Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Leased Premises and all interest therein to the Landlord and Rent shall
be apportioned and shall be payable by the Tenant only to the date of such damage or destruction
and the Landlord may thereafter re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises. For greater certainty,
it is understood and agreed that (i) if the Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as
aforesaid, upon substantial completion of the Landlord’s work, the Tenant shall repair or restore
the Leased Premises as required by Section 7.06; and (ii) if the Landlord elects to terminate this
Lease as aforesaid, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord forthwith upon demand the cost of
repairing or restoring the Leased Premises, as determined by the Landlord’s architect or engineer,
acting reasonably (but not in any event to exceed the replacement cost of the then existing
Leasehold Improvements), by way of insurance proceeds available to the Tenant or otherwise.



10.03 Damage to Building — Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease
or that the Leased Premises may not be affected, if in the reasonable opinion or determination of
the Landlord or the Landlord’s architect or engineer, rendered within 30 Business Days of the
happening of damage or destruction, the Building shall be damaged or destroyed to the extent that
any one or more of the following conditions exist:




	(a)	 	in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord the Building must be totally or partially
demolished, whether or not to be reconstructed in whole or in part;




- 31 -









 












	(b)	 	in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord’s architect or engineer the Building shall be
incapable of being rebuilt or repaired or restored with reasonable diligence within 6 months
after the occurrence of such damage or destruction;






	(c)	 	any tenant of the Building which, in the Landlord’s absolute discretion, is a major tenant of
the Building becomes entitled to terminate its lease as a result of such damage or
destruction;






	(d)	 	more than 35% of the Total Rentable Area of the Building is damaged or destroyed as
reasonably determined by the Landlord’s architect or engineer; or






	(e)	 	any or all of the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, electrical, mechanical or elevator
systems in the Building are damaged or destroyed as reasonably determined by the Landlord’s
architect or engineer;





then the Landlord may at its sole option terminate this Lease by notice in writing to the Tenant.
If notice is given by the Landlord under this Section 10.03, then this Lease shall terminate from
the date of such notice and the Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises and all
interest therein to the Landlord and Rent shall be apportioned and shall be payable by the Tenant
only to the date of such notice and the Landlord may thereafter re-enter and repossess the Leased
Premises. If the Building is damaged to the extent described in this Section 10.03 and the
Landlord does not terminate this Lease, the Landlord will, to the extent of insurance proceeds
received, rebuild or repair the Building to base building standards, but the rebuilt or repaired
Building may be different in configuration and design from that comprising the Project prior to the
damage or destruction.



10.04 No Abatement — Except as specifically provided in this Article 10.00, there shall be
no abatement of Rent and the Landlord shall have no liability to the Tenant by reason of any injury
to, loss of or interference with the Tenant’s business or property arising directly or indirectly
from fire or other casualty, howsoever caused, or from the making of any repairs resulting
therefrom or to any portion of the Building or the Leased Premises.



10.05 Notify Landlord — The Tenant shall immediately notify the Landlord at its
representative in the Project of any accident or defect in the Project, the Leased Premises or any
systems thereof and, as well, of any matter or condition which may cause injury or damage to the
Project or any person or property located therein.



10.06 Expropriation — In the event of Expropriation of all or part of the Leased Premises
and/or the Building, neither the Landlord nor the Tenant shall have a claim against the other for
the shortening of the Term, nor the reduction or alteration of the Leased Premises or the Building.
The Landlord and the Tenant shall each look only to the Expropriating authority for compensation.
The Landlord and the Tenant agree to cooperate with one another so that each is able to obtain the
maximum compensation from the Expropriating authority as may be permitted in law in relating to
their respective interests in the Leased Premises and the Building. Nothing herein contained shall
be deemed or construed to prevent the Landlord or the Tenant from enforcing and prosecuting a claim
for the value of their respective interests in any Expropriation



- 32 -









 







proceedings. However, to the extent that a part of the Project other than the Leased Premises is
Expropriated, the full proceeds paid or awarded therefor will belong solely to the Landlord and the
Tenant will assign to the Landlord any rights it might have or acquire in respect of such proceeds
or awards and will execute those documents that the Landlord reasonably requires in order to give
effect to this intention.



Where used in this Section 10.06 “Expropriation” means expropriated by a governmental or municipal
authority, or transferred, conveyed or dedicated in contemplation of a threatened expropriation and
“Expropriated” and “Expropriating” have corresponding meanings.



ARTICLE 11.00 - DEFAULT




11.01 Arrears — The Tenant shall pay monthly to the Landlord interest, calculated and
compounded monthly, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the Prime Rate plus 5% and the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law upon all Rent required to be paid hereunder from the due
date for payment thereof until the same is fully paid and satisfied.



In addition to the interest charges, in order to cover the extra expense involved in handling
delinquent payments, the Tenant, at the Landlord’s sole option, shall pay to the Landlord a charge
of $100.00 (the “Late Charge”) when any instalments of Rent is received by the Landlord after the
relevant due date thereof.



In addition, if any cheque presented to the Landlord by the Tenant representing payment of Rent is
not honoured by the Tenant’s bank or such cheque is returned to the Landlord indicating that there
are not sufficient funds in the Tenant’s account to honour such cheque, the Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord a charge of $50.00 for the first such occurrence during the Term, $150.00 for the second
such occurrence during the Term and $250.00 for each such subsequent occurrence during the Term
(the ‘NSF Charge”). It is hereby understood and agreed that the Late Charge and the NSF Charge is
charged as Rent and not as a penalty or interest, for the purpose of defraying the Landlord’s
expenses incident to the processing of such overdue payments and that such Late Charge or NSF
Charge is due and payable on and from the day immediately following the due date of such overdue
payment or, if no due date is specified in this Lease, then on the 10’ day following demand for
same by the Landlord.



11.02 Costs of Enforcement — The Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord against all costs and
charges (including legal fees on a solicitor and client basis and the Landlord’s reasonable
administration charges) reasonably incurred either during or after the Term in enforcing payment of
Rent hereunder and in obtaining possession of the Leased Premises after default of the Tenant or
upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or in enforcing any covenant, proviso or
agreement of the Tenant herein contained or in determining the Landlord’s rights or the Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease or both. All such costs and charges shall be paid by the Tenant to
the Landlord forthwith upon demand.



11.03 Performance of Tenant’s Obligations — All covenants and agreements to be performed by
the Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by the Tenant, at the Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, and without any abatement of Rent. If the Tenant fails to



- 33 -









 







perform any act to be performed by it hereunder then, in the event of an emergency, either real or
perceived, or if the failure continues for 10 days following notice thereof, the Landlord may (but
shall not be obligated to) perform the act without waiving or releasing the Tenant from any of its
obligations relative thereto, but having commenced to do so may cease to do so without completing
performance thereof. All sums paid and costs incurred by the Landlord in so performing the act,
plus 20% of the cost for overhead and supervision together with interest thereon at the rate set
out in Section 11.01 from the date payment was made or such cost was incurred by the Landlord,
shall be payable by the Tenant to the Landlord on demand.



11.04 Remedies on Default — Upon the happening of an Event of Default the Landlord may, at
its option, and in addition to and without prejudice to all rights and remedies of the Landlord
available to it either by any other provision of this Lease or by statute or the general law,
exercise any one or more of the following remedies:




	(a)	 	be entitled to the full amount of the current month’s and the next ensuing 3 months’
instalments of Rent which shall immediately become due and payable and the Landlord may
immediately disfrain for the same, together with any arrears then unpaid;






	(b)	 	without notice or any form of legal process, forthwith re-let or sublet the Leased Premises
or any part or parts thereof for whatever term or terms and at whatever rent and upon whatever
other terms, covenants and conditions the Landlord considers advisable including, without
limitation, the payment or granting of inducements all on behalf of the Tenant; and on each
such re-letting or subletting the rent received by the Landlord therefrom will be applied
first to reimburse the Landlord for any such inducements and for any expenses, capital or
otherwise, incurred by the Landlord in making the Leased Premises ready for re-letting or
subletting; and secondly to the payment of any costs and expenses of re-letting or subletting
including brokerage fees and legal fees on a solicitor and client basis; and third to the
payment of Rent; and the residue, if any, will be held by the Landlord and applied to payment
of Rent as it becomes due and payable. If rent received from re-letting or subletting during
any month is less than Rent to be paid during that month hereunder, the Tenant will pay the
deficiency which will be calculated and paid monthly on or before the first day of every
month; and no re-letting or subletting of the Leased Premises by the Landlord or entry by the
Landlord or its agents upon the Leased Premises for the purpose of re-letting or subletting or
other act of the Landlord relating thereto including, without limitation, changing or
permitting a subtenant to change tacks, will be construed as an election on its part to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of termination is given to the Tenant; and if the
Landlord elects to re-let or sublet the Leased Premises without terminating, it may afterwards
elect to terminate this Lease at any time by reason of any Event of Default then existing;






	(c)	 	seize and sell such goods, chattels and equipment of the Tenant as are in the Leased Premises
and the Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, apply the proceeds thereof to all Rent to
which the Landlord is then entitled under this Lease. Any such sale may be effected by
public, auction, private sale or otherwise, and either in bulk or by individual item, or
partly by one means and partly by another, all as the Landlord in its sole discretion may
decide;




- 34 -









 












	(d)	 	terminate this Lease by leaving upon the Leased Premises notice in writing of the
termination, and such termination shall be without prejudice to the Landlord’s right to
damages; it being agreed that the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord on demand as damages the
loss of income of the Landlord to be derived from this Lease and the Leased Premises for the
unexpired portion of the Term had it not been terminated; or






	(e)	 	re-enter into and upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and
repossess and enjoy the same as of the Landlord’s former estate, anything herein contained to
the contrary notwithstanding;





and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord forthwith upon demand all expenses of the Landlord in
reentering, terminating, re-letting, collecting sums due or payable by the Tenant or realizing upon
assets seized or otherwise exercising its rights and remedies under this Section 11.04 including
tenant inducements, leasing commissions, legal fees on a solicitor and client basis and all
disbursements and the expense of keeping the Leased Premises in good order, repairing the same and
preparing the same for re-letting.



In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.04,
upon the happening of an Event of Default, and whether or not this Lease is terminated in
accordance with such provisions: (i) the Landlord shall have no further liability to pay to the
Tenant or any third party any amount on account or in respect of a refund of any Security Deposit,
prepaid Rent or prepaid Taxes or any tenant inducement, leasehold improvement allowance, lease
takeover or lease subsidy or any other concession or inducement otherwise provided to the Tenant
under or with respect to this Lease, and any Rent free period otherwise provided to the Tenant
hereunder shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and Rent shall be payable in
full hereunder without regard to any such Rent free period; and (ii) any cash allowance, inducement
payment, and the value of any other benefit paid to or conferred on the Tenant by or on behalf of
the Landlord in connection with the Leased Premises or this Lease shall be recoverable in full as
additional Rent and shall be payable to the Landlord on demand.



11.05 Availability of Remedies — The Landlord may from time to time resort to any or all of
the rights and remedies available to it upon the occurrence of an Event of Default either by any
provision of this Lease or by statute or the general law, all of which rights and remedies are
intended to be cumulative and not alternative, and the express provisions herein as to certain
rights and remedies are not to be interpreted as excluding any other or additional rights or
remedies available to the Landlord by statute or the general law.



11.06 Waiver — If the Landlord shall overlook, excuse, condone or suffer any default,
breach or non-observance by the Tenant of any obligation hereunder, this shall not operate as a
waiver of the obligation in respect of any continuing or subsequent default, breach or
non-observance and no such waiver shall be implied but shall only be effective if expressed in
writing.



The Landlord’s acceptance of Rent after a default is not a waiver of any preceding default under
this Lease even if the Landlord knows of the preceding default at the time of acceptance of the
Rent. No term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall be considered to have been waived by
the Landlord or the Tenant unless the waiver is in writing. The Tenant waives any statutory or



- 35 -









 





other rights in respect of abatement, set-off or compensation in its favour that may exist or come
into existence hereafter with respect to Rent.



11.07 Waiver of Exemption and Redemption — Notwithstanding anything contained in any
statute now or hereafter in force limiting the right of distress, none of the Tenant’s goods or
chattels in the Leased Premises at any time during the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress
for Rent in arrears, and this agreement of the Tenant in this Section may be pleaded as an estoppel
against the Tenant.



11.08 Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act — By virtue of its interest in this Lease, the
importance of the Tenant continuing to carry on business in the Leased Premises in accordance with
this Lease, and the Landlord’s entitlement to damages where this Lease is terminated by reason of
an Event of Default, the Landlord does and will (despite any changes in circumstances of the Tenant
or its business) constitute a separate class or category of creditor in any plan of arrangement or
other proposal submitted by or on behalf of the Tenant under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement
Act (Canada) or any similar legislation for bankrupt or insolvent debtors.



ARTICLE 12.00 - ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND OTHER TRANSFERS




12.01 Request for Consent — The Tenant shall not effect a Transfer of this Lease or of all
or part of the Leased Premises without the prior consent in writing of the Landlord, which consent
shall not, provided no Event of Default has occurred, be unreasonably withheld. Provided that the
Tenant shall, at the time the Tenant shall request the consent of the Landlord, deliver to the
Landlord such information in writing (herein called the “required information”) as the Landlord may
reasonably require respecting the proposed Transferee including, without limitation, the name,
address, nature of business, financial responsibility and standing of such proposed Transferee.
Provided further that after receiving such request, the Landlord shall have the right, at its
option, to terminate this Lease if the request relates to all of the Leased Premises or, if the
request relates to a portion of the Leased Premises only, to terminate this Lease with respect to
such portion, by giving, within 10 days after receiving the required information, not less than 30
nor more than 60 days’ written notice of termination to the Tenant. In the event of such
termination, the Rent and other payments required to be made by the Tenant hereunder shall be
adjusted to the date of termination and, in the case of a partial termination, Rent shall abate in
the proportion that the area of the portion of the Leased Premises for which this Lease is
terminated bears to the area of the Leased Premises and this Lease shall be deemed to be amended
accordingly.



If the Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as to all or part of the Leased Premises, the Tenant
may by written notice (given within 10 days or such longer time as the Landlord may consent to in
writing after receipt of the Landlord’s notice of termination) notify the Landlord of the Tenant’s
intention to refrain from the Transfer which gave rise to the Landlord’s notice of termination or
of the Tenant’s intention to accept such notice of termination. If the Tenant gives written notice
to the Landlord within such time period that it intends to refrain from such Transfer, then the
Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease in whole or in part shall become
null and void. Otherwise, the Landlord’s termination shall take effect on the date stipulated by
the Landlord in its notice of termination.



- 36 -









 





12.02 Basis for Consent — Notwithstanding anything in any statute or law and without
limiting the grounds upon which a consent may be refused, the Landlord will not be deemed to be
unreasonable in refusing consent when:




	(a)	 	the giving of such consent would place the Landlord in breach of any other tenant’s tease in
the Project or the proposed use by the Transferee is not substantially the same as that of the
Tenant;






	(b)	 	such consent is requested for a mortgage, charge, debenture (secured by floating charge or
otherwise) or other encumbrance of, or in respect of, this Lease or the Leased Premises or any
part of them;






	(c)	 	the Transferee, in the opinion of the Landlord: (i) does not have a history of successful
business operation in the business to be conducted in the Leased Premises; (ii) does not have
a good credit rating or a substantial net worth; or (iii) there is a history of default under
other leases by the Transferee or by companies or partnerships that the Transferee was a
principal shareholder of or a partner in at the time of the default;






	(d)	 	the Transferee is an existing tenant in the Project or in any other project of the Landlord,
or has been within 3 months prior to the proposed assignment or sublease taking effect;





(e)  the Landlord has other premises in the Project available for leasing to the Transferee;



	(f)	  	In the case of a Transfer to a subtenant of less than the entire Leased Premises, if such
would result in a configuration which: (i) would require access to be provided through space
leased or held for lease to another tenant or improvements to be made outside of the Leased
Premises; or (ii) would, in the sole opinion of the Landlord, be unreasonable to attempt to
release to a third party;






	(g)	 	the required information received from the Tenant or the proposed Transferee is not
sufficient in the Landlord’s opinion to enable the Landlord to make a determination concerning
the matters set out above; or






	(h)	 	the use of the Leased Premises by the proposed Transferee, in the Landlord’s opinion arrived
at in good faith, could result in excessive use of the systems or Services in the Project, be
inconsistent with the image and standards of the Project or expose the occupants of the
Project to risk of harm, damage or interference with their use and enjoyment thereof, or
reduce the value of the Project.





The Landlord shall not be liable for any claims, actions, damages, liabilities, losses or expenses
of the Tenant or any proposed Transferee arising out of the Landlord’s unreasonably withholding its
consent to any Transfer and the Tenant’s only recourse will be to bring an application for a
declaration that the Landlord must grant its consent to the Transfer.



In no event shall any Transfer to which the Landlord may have consented release or relieve the
Tenant or any Indemnifier from its obligations fully to perform all the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease, the Indemnity Agreement or any renewals or extensions of this Lease or



- 37 -








 





the Term on its part to be performed and, in any event, the Tenant shall be liable for the
Landlord’s costs incurred in connection with the Tenant’s request for consent as set out in
Subsection 12.03(g).



12.03 Terms and Conditions Relating to Consents — The following terms and conditions apply
in respect of a consent given by the Landlord to a Transfer:




	(a)	 	the consent by the Landlord is not a waiver of the requirement for consent to subsequent
Transfers, and no Transfer shall relieve the Tenant of its obligations under this Lease,
unless specifically so provided in writing;






	(b)	 	no acceptance by the Landlord of Rent or other payments by a Transferee is: (i) a waiver of
the requirement for the Landlord to consent in writing to the Transfer; (ii) the acceptance of
the Transferee as tenant or subtenant; or (iii) a release of the Tenant or Indemnifier from
its obligations under this Lease or any Indemnity Agreement;





(c)  the Landlord may apply amounts collected from the Transferee to any unpaid Rent;



	(d)	 	the Transferor, unless the Transferee is a subtenant of the Tenant will retain no rights
under this Lease in respect of obligations to be performed by the Landlord or in respect of
the use or occupation of the Leased Premises after the Transfer and will execute an Indemnity
Agreement on the Landlord’s standard form in respect of obligations to be performed after the
Transfer by the Transferee;






	(e)	 	the Transferee shall, when required by the Landlord, jointly and severally with the Tenant,
enter into an agreement directly with the Landlord agreeing to be bound by this Lease as if
the Transferee had originally executed this Lease as the Tenant, and the Tenant will not be
released nor relieved from its obligations under this Lease including, without limitation, the
obligation to pay Rent;






	(f)	 	in the event that this Lease is disaffirmed, disclaimed or terminated by any trustee in
bankruptcy of a Transferee, the original Tenant named in this Lease shall be deemed, upon
notice by the Landlord given within 30 days of such disaffirmation, disclaimer or termination
to have entered into a lease with the Landlord containing the same terms and conditions as in
this Lease, with the exception of the Term of such Lease which shall expire on the date on
which this Lease would have ended save for such disaffirmation, disclaimer or termination; and






	(g)	 	any documents relating to a Transfer or the Landlord’s consent will be prepared by the
Landlord or its solicitors and a reasonable administration charge of at least $250.00 and the
greater of: (i) a reasonable document preparation fee of at least $450.00; or (ii) those legal
fees on a solicitor and client basis incurred by the Landlord will be paid to the Landlord by
the Tenant on demand.





12.04 Subsequent Transfers — The Landlord’s consent to a Transfer shall not be deemed to be
consent to any subsequent Transfer, whether or not so stated.



- 38 -








 





12.05 Profit Rents upon Transfers — In the event of any Transfer by the Tenant by virtue of

(1) The Landlord shall be entitled to sever the Land into separate parcels or to consolidate the

Land on severance may be owned by or may be treated as if they were owned by separate entities
other than the Landlord. The Landlord may in its discretion create and grant rights and easements
among separate parcels or Project Components and may register same as encumbrances.



(2) The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if the Land is severed into 2 or more separate parcels
or consolidated into fewer parcels, the Tenant will register any caveat indicating its interest in
this Lease and the Leased Premises against only the parcel(s) of the Land which is or are directly
affected by the Tenant’s interest in this Lease and the Leased Premises as directed by the Landlord
and, if the Land is severed subsequent to the registration of such caveat, the Tenant shall, at the
Landlord’s request, cause to be registered a partial discharge of such caveat against the parcels
of Land not so directly affected by the Tenant’s interest in this Lease and the Leased Premises.
If the Tenant fails to cause such partial discharge to be registered within 15 days of a written
request from the Landlord, the Landlord may take such steps as it considers necessary to cause such
caveat to be partially discharged and the Tenant shall pay the Landlord for all Outlays within

apportion and allocate Operating Costs among such Project Components.
	 
		 	(b) In any such division, apportionment and allocation of Operating Costs, the Landlord
shall charge any item which relates exclusively to one of the Project Components directly to
that Project Component only, and, in respect of items which do not exclusively relate to any
single Project Component, the Landlord shall divide, apportion and allocate same to all
Project Components affected thereby on an equitable basis having regard, without limitation,
to the various uses and values of the subject Project Components, to prudent practices of
property management, to the provisions of this Lease and to generally accepted accounting
and engineering principles for the
commercial real estate industry. The aggregate so directly charged or divided, apportioned
and allocated to the Building is herein called the “Operating Costs for the Building”.
