17.9

If there is a permitted assignment or subletting, the Landlord may collect rent from the Transferee, and apply the net rent collected to the Rent required to be paid pursuant to this Sub-Lease, but no acceptance by the Landlord of any payment by a Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any covenants under this Sub-Lease including this Article on the part of the Tenant to be observed or performed, or the acceptance of the Transferee as tenant.

Acceptance of any late payment without the fee or interest shall not constitute a waiver of the Landlord's right to require the fee and interest.  The Tenant shall be deemed to have failed to make a payment on, and the fee and interest shall be due from, the date such payment is first payable, and not the date after the expiry of notice of non-payment, if any notice is required to be given or is given.

28.2

No condoning, excusing or overlooking by the Landlord of any default, breach or non-observance at any time or times in respect of any covenant, proviso or condition herein contained shall operate as a waiver of the Landlord's rights hereunder with respect to any continuing or subsequent default, breach or non-observance, or so as to defeat in any way the rights of the Landlord in respect of any such continuing or subsequent default or breach, and no waiver shall be inferred from or implied by anything done or omitted by the Landlord save only an express waiver in writing.

SCHEDULE "A" - LANDLORD'S WORK 







The Landlord will design, construct and coordinate the completion of the Building in which the Premises shall be located, such Building to be similar to the building described in the plans and specifications prepared by Chernoff Thompson Architects titled "Technology Enterprise Facility 3 (TEF3)" and issued for construction" on February 5, 2002, with such changes as the Landlord shall approve.  Changes to the Building may be made as a result of the approval process for all permits to construct the Building, as part of the construction process, and as the Landlord, acting reasonably, deems beneficial for the construction and leasing of the Building in accordance with its mandate.




The Tenant shall do finishing and fixturing of the Premises ("Tenant Improvements") and the Landlord shall contribute to the Tenant the cost or a portion of the cost of such Tenant Improvements to a maximum amount of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per square foot of Rentable Area (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance").  The Tenant shall be responsible for any cost over and above such amount.  The Tenant shall provide to the Landlord a total cost estimate for such Tenant Improvements and the Landlord shall approve such costs, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The work to be done to the Premises by the Tenant shall conform to the drawings and specifications ("TI Plans") prepared by the Tenant and approved by the Landlord.  The Tenant shall not be entitled to make any changes to the TI Plans without the Landlord’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and any such changes shall be made at the sole cost of the Tenant, including any costs to the Landlord of reviewing and approving such changes. If the Landlord has not consented to such changes prior to the date that the Tenant commences to construct the Tenant Improvements, the Tenant shall complete the Tenant Improvements without changes.

Prior to commencing the Tenant Improvements the Tenant shall provide the Landlord with the names of all contractors, subcontractors and suppliers providing work and materials for such Tenant Improvements for the Landlord's consent. The Landlord may withhold its consent for reasons including, but not limited to, the failure of the Tenant to demonstrate, in the Landlord's sole discretion, that such contractor, subcontractor, or supplier produces works, services or products of a quality consistent with the quality of the base building construction, or that such contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers works or services may jeopardise the validity of any warranties or guarantees of the base building systems, and the Landlord may require a performance bond for all or a portion of the work and materials.

The Tenant shall be required to provide a bond, letter of credit, or other form of security acceptable to the Landlord, equal to the difference between the total cost of the Tenant Improvements and the Tenant Improvement Allowance prior to commencing construction. The Tenant shall obtain a building permit from UBC for all Tenant Improvements prior to commencing construction. The Landlord shall pay the Tenant Improvement Allowance to the Tenant upon certification by the Landlord's architect that the Tenant Improvements have been completed satisfactorily.
