Rent and Additional Rent the Tenant is obligated to pay the Landlord under this Lease,
prorated for the portion of the Premises being assigned or sublet, that is not occupied
or used by the Tenant until the date of such assignment or sublease. In determining the
amounts to be deducted from Excess Rent in each monthly payment period in respect of
the Tenant’s costs of assigning or subleasing, such costs shall be amortized without
interest over the Term (in the case of an assignment) or term of the sublease (in the
case of a sublease) on a straight line basis.
	 
	 	13.13	 	Landlord’s Rights: If the Tenant requests consent to a Transfer of
all or substantially all of the Premises for the balance of the Term, the Landlord
shall have the right to terminate this Lease as set out in Section 13.14.

to terminate the Lease pursuant to Sections 13.13 and 13.14, the Tenant may withdraw
its request for a Transfer and shall advise the Landlord of its intention to

	 	 	 	withdraw such request within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the Landlord’s
notice. The Tenant shall not under any circumstances be entitled to a refund of the

the Tenant prior to the payments of such money. After the service of notice or the
commencement of a suit, or after final judgment granting the Landlord possession of
the Premises, the Landlord may receive and collect any sums of Rent due under this
Lease, and the payment thereof shall not make ineffective any notice, or in any
manner affect any pending suits or any judgment therefor obtained.

ARTICLE 16 — RULES AND REGULATIONS

	 	16.1	 	Purpose: The rules and regulations set forth in Schedule D attached
hereto have been adopted by the Landlord for the safety, benefit and convenience of all
tenants and other persons in the Building. The rules and regulations may differentiate
between different types of businesses in the Building, but the Landlord shall not
discriminate against the Tenant in the establishment or enforcement of the rules and
regulations. All such rules and regulations shall be deemed to be incorporated into and
form part of this Lease, provided that if there is a conflict between such rules and
regulations and the other provisions of this Lease, such other provisions of this Lease
shall in all cases prevail.

-33-

 

	 	16.2	 	Observance: The Tenant shall, at all times, comply with, and shall
cause its employees, agents, licensees and invitees to comply with, such rules and
regulations attached hereto as Schedule D and such further and other reasonable rules
and regulations and amendments and changes thereto as may be made by the Landlord and
notified to the Tenant by mailing a copy thereof to the Tenant. All such rules and
regulations now or hereafter in force shall be read as forming part of this Lease.
	 
	 	16.3	 	Non-Compliance: The Landlord shall use its reasonable commercial
efforts to secure compliance by all tenants and other persons with such rules and
regulations from time to time in effect, but shall not be responsible to the Tenant for

	 	16.4	 	Loading and Unloading: The delivery and shipping of merchandise,
supplies, fixtures, and other materials or goods whatsoever in nature to or from the

ARTICLE 17 — EXPROPRIATION

	 	17.1	 	Taking of Premises: If during the Term or any renewal thereof all of
the Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any statute or by
right or expropriation, or purchases under threat of such taking, this Lease shall
automatically terminate on the date on which the expropriating authority takes
possession of the Premises (the “date of such taking”).
	 
	 	17.2	 	Partial Taking of Building: If during the Term only part of the
Building is taken or purchased as set out in Section 17.1, then:

	 	(a)	 	if in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord substantial
alteration or reconstruction of the Building is necessary or desirable as a
result thereof, whether or not the Premises are or may be affected, the
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving the Tenant at
lease thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination, and
	 
	 	(b)	 	if more than one-third of the number of square feet in the
Premises is included in such taking or purchase, the Tenant shall have the
right to terminate this Lease by giving the other at least thirty (30) days’
written notice thereof.

pursuant to notice hereunder may occur later than ninety (90) days after the date of
such taking.

respect of the portion taken. After such termination, and on notice from the Landlord
stating the Rent then owing, the Tenant shall forthwith pay the Landlord the Rent then
owing.
	 
	 	17.4	 	Partial Taking of Premises: If any portion of the Premises (but less
than the whole thereof) is so taken, and no rights of termination herein conferred are
timely exercised, the Term of the Lease shall expire with respect to the portion so
taken on the date of such taking. In such event the Rent payable hereunder with respect
to such portion so taken shall abate on such date, and the rent thereafter payable with
respect to the remainder not so taken shall be adjusted pro rata by the Landlord in
order to account for the resulting reduction in the number of square feet in the
Premises.

shall each be entitled to receive and retain the award or consideration for their
respective interests in the affected lands and improvements, and the Tenant shall not
have or advance any claim against the Landlord for the value of its property or its
leasehold estate or the unexpired Term of the Lease, or for costs of removal or
relocation, or business interruption expense or any other damages arising out of such
taking or purchase. Nothing herein shall give the Landlord any interest in or preclude
the Tenant from seeking and recovering on its own account from the condemning authority
any award or compensation attributable to the taking or purchase of the Tenant’s
leasehold estate, improvements, chattels or trade fixtures, or the removal or
relocation of its business. If any such award made or compensation paid to either party
specifically includes an award or amount for the other, the party first receiving the
same shall promptly account therefor to the other.

date on which the Tenant delivers vacant possession of the Premises, subject to any
abatement to which the Tenant may be entitled.
	 
	 	18.3	 	Abatement: lf all or part of the Premises are damaged by fire or other
casualty, the Rent payable by the Tenant hereunder shall be proportionately reduced to
the extent that the Premises are thereby rendered unusable by the Tenant in its

including the Premises) of the Building is rendered untenantable by damage from fire or
other casualty to such a material extent that in the reasonable opinion of the
Landlord’s Architect, the Building cannot be substantially repaired under applicable

Landlord’s Architect’s opinion, and if such notice of termination is given:

Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice of termination;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date upon which
possession has been delivered up, subject to any abatement to which the Tenant
may be entitled;

	 	 	 	but otherwise, the Landlord or the Tenant, as the case may be, according to the
nature of the damage and their respective obligations under this Lease, shall repair
such damage with all reasonable diligence.

fifteen (15) days after commencement; or

	 	(g)	 	the Tenant becomes insolvent or commits an act of bankruptcy or
becomes bankrupt or takes the benefit of any statute that may be in force for
dissolution or bankrupt or insolvent debtors or becomes involved in voluntary
or involuntary winding-up proceedings or if a receiver or a trustee, receiver
or receiver manager or agent or other like person shall be appointed for the
business, property, affairs or revenues of the Tenant and such execution,
attachment or similar process, action or proceeding is not set aside, vacated,
discharged or abandoned within fifteen (15) days after commencement; or

	 	(h)	 	the remaining Term of this Lease, or any goods, chattels or
equipment of the Tenant is taken or exigible in execution or in attachment,

Tenant or its goods or chattels by any creditor of the Tenant and such
execution, attachment or similar process, action or proceeding is not set
aside, vacated, discharged or abandoned within fifteen (15) days after
commencement; or

	 	(i)	 	the Tenant fails to observe, perform and keep each and every
one of the covenants, agreements, provisions, stipulations and conditions
herein contained to be observed, performed and kept by the Tenant (other than
payment of Rent) and persists in such failure after ten (10) days’ notice by
the Landlord requiring that the Tenant remedy, correct, desist or comply (or if
any such breach would reasonably require more than ten (10) days to rectify,
unless the Tenant commences rectification within ten (10) days’ notice period
and thereafter promptly and effectively and continuously proceeds with the
rectification of the breach);

	 	 	 	it shall be deemed an “Event of Default” and the Landlord shall have the rights and
remedies set forth in this Article 21, all of which are cumulative and not
alternatives and not to the exclusion of any other or additional rights and remedies
in law or equity available to the Landlord by statute or otherwise. No such remedy
shall be exclusive or dependent upon any other such remedy, but the Landlord

-40-

 

	 	 	 	may from time to time exercise any one or more of such remedies independently or in
combination.
	 
	 	21.2	 	Interest and Costs to Lease Space: The Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord interest at a rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum over the prime rate
charged by the Landlord’s principal banker to the Landlord, calculated and compounded
monthly, upon all Rent required to be paid hereunder from the due date for payment
thereof until the same is fully paid and satisfied. The Tenant shall indemnify the
Landlord against all costs, charges (including legal fees) lawfully and reasonably
incurred in enforcing payment thereof, and in obtaining possession of the Premises
after an Event of Default or upon expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this
Lease, or in enforcing any covenant, provision or agreement of the Tenant herein
contained in respect of which an Event of Default has occurred.
	 
	 	21.3	 	Right of the Landlord to Perform Covenants: 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 abatement
of Rent. If the Tenant shall fail to perform any act on its part to be performed
hereunder, and such failure shall continue after notice from the Landlord in accordance
with Section 20.1(i) for ten (10) days after such notice or any period after such
notice allowed by Section 20.1(i), the Landlord may (but shall not be obligated so to
do) perform such an act without waiving or releasing the Tenant from any of its
obligations relative thereto, and in so doing to make any payments due or alleged to be
due by the Tenant to the third parties and to enter upon the Premises to do any work or
other things therein. All sums paid or costs incurred by the Landlord in so performing
such acts under this Section 21.3, together with a fifteen percent (15%) administration
fee shall be payable by the Tenant to the Landlord on demand and shall be recoverable
by the Landlord as Rent.
	 
	 	21.4	 	Right to Distrain: Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default at the
option of the Landlord, the following shall become fully and immediately due and
payable by the Tenant and the Landlord may immediately distrain for the same, together
with any arrears then unpaid:

	 	(a)	 	the full amount of the current month’s and the next ensuing
three months’ instalments of Base Rent,

	 	(b)	 	all expenses incurred by the Landlord in performing any of the
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in respect of which an Event of Default
has occurred, re-entering and re-letting, collecting sums due or payable by the
Tenant, effecting seizure and realizing upon assets seized (including
brokerage, legal fees and disbursements), and the expense of keeping the
Premises in good order, repairing the same and preparing them for re-letting.

-41-

 

	 	 	 	Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Landlord may seize and sell such
goods, chattels and equipment of the Tenant whether within the Premises or removed
therefrom and may apply the proceeds thereof to all Rent and other payments to which
the Landlord is then entitled under this Lease, and the Tenant waives or renounces
the benefit of any present or future law taking away or limiting the Landlord’s
right of distress on the property of the Tenant. Any such sale may be effected in
the discretion of the Landlord by public auction 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 entire discretion may decide. If any of the Tenant’s property is
disposed of as provided In this Section 21.4, ten (10) days’ prior notice to the
Tenant of disposition shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable.
	 
	 	21.5	 	Right to Terminate — General: Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default pursuant to Section 21.1, the Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease
forthwith by leaving upon the Premises Or by affixing to an entrance door to the
Premises notice terminating the Lease and to immediately thereafter cease to furnish
any services hereunder and enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in the
name of the whole and the same to have again, repossess and enjoy as of its former
estate, anything in this Lease contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
	 
	 	 	 	Upon the giving by the Landlord of a notice in writing, terminating this Lease under
this Section 21.5 or Section 21.6, this Lease and the Term shall terminate, Rent and
any other payments for which the Tenant is liable under this Lease shall be
computed, apportioned and paid in full to the date of such termination forthwith,
and there shall immediately become due and payable those amounts payable pursuant to
Section 21.10. Upon termination of this Lease and the Term, the Tenant shall
immediately deliver up possession of the Premises to the Landlord, and the Landlord
may forthwith re-enter and take possession of them.
	 
	 	21.6	 	Right to Terminate — Accelerated Rent: The Landlord may terminate
this Lease at its sole option if and whenever there is an Event of Default pursuant to
Sections 2 1.1(e) to (h). In the event that this Lease is terminated pursuant to this
Section 21.6 the Tenant shall, in addition to meeting all the requirements of Section
21.5 forthwith pay to the Landlord rent for three (3) months next ensuing after the
termination of this Lease as accelerated rent.
	 
	 	21.7	 	Right to Re-enter: Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant
to Section 21.1, the Landlord has the right to enter the Premises, with or without
canceling the Lease, as agent of the Tenant and as such agent to re-let them and to
receive the rent therefor and as agent of the Tenant to take possession of any
furniture or other property thereon and upon giving ten (10) days’ written notice to
the Tenant to store the same at the expense and risk of the Tenant or to sell or
otherwise dispose of the same at public or private sale without further notice and to
apply the proceeds thereof and any rent derived from re-letting the Premises

-42-

 

	 	 	 	upon account of the Rent due and to become due under this Lease and the Tenant shall
be liable to the Landlord for the deficiency if any.
	 
	 	21.8	 	Waiver of Exemption and Redemption: Notwithstanding anything contained
in any statute now or hereafter in force limiting or abrogating the right of distress,
none of the Tenant’s goods, chattels or trade fixtures on the Premises at any time
during the continuance of the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for Rent in
arrears where there is an Event of Default, and upon any claim being made for such
exemption by the Tenant or on distress being made by the Landlord this agreement may be
pleaded as an estoppel against the Tenant in any action brought to test the right to
levying upon any such goods as are named as exempted in any such statute, the Tenant
hereby waiving all and every benefit that could or might have accrued to the Tenant
under and by virtue of any such statute but for this Lease where there is an Event of
Default. The Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by
or under any present or future laws in the event of the Tenant being evicted or
dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of the Landlord obtaining possession of the
Premises, by reason of the Event of Default.
	 
	 	21.9	 	Surrender: If and whenever the Landlord is entitled to or does
re-enter in consequence of an Event of Default, the Landlord may terminate this Lease
by giving notice thereof, and in such event the Tenant shall forthwith vacate and
surrender the Premises and shall surrender all keys for the Premises to the Landlord at
the place then fixed for payment of Rent, and shall inform the Landlord of all
combinations of locks, safes and vaults, if any, in the Premises.
	 
	 	21.10	 	Payments: If in consequence of an Event of Default the Landlord shall
re-enter or if this Lease shall be terminated hereunder, the Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord on demand:

	 	(a)	 	Rent up to the time of re-entry or termination, whichever shall
be the earlier, plus accelerated rent as herein provided in Section 21.6 if
that Section applies;

	 	(b)	 	all expenses incurred by the Landlord in performing any of the
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in respect of which an Event of Default
has occurred, re-entering or terminating and re-letting, collecting sums due
and payable by the Tenant, realizing upon assets seized and the expense of
keeping the Premises in good order, repairing the same and preparing them for
re-letting; and

	 	(c)	 	as damages for the loss of income of the Landlord expected to
be derived from the Premises, the amounts (if any) by which the Rent which
would have been payable under this Lease exceeds the aggregate of any
accelerated rent under Section 20.7 and any payments received by the Landlord
from other tenants in the Premises, payable on the first day of each month
during the period which would have constituted the unexpired

-43-

 

	 	 	 	portion of the Term had it not been terminated, or at the election of the
Landlord by notice to the Tenant at or after re-entry or termination, a lump
sum amount equal to the Rent which would have been payable under this Lease
from the date of such election during the period which would have
constituted the unexpired portion of the Term had it not been terminated,
reduced by the rental value of the Premises for the same period, established
by reference to the terms and conditions upon which the Landlord re-lets
them if such re-letting is accomplished within a reasonable period after
termination, and otherwise established by reference to all market and other
relevant circumstances; Rent and rental value being reduced to present worth
at an assumed interest rate of ten percent (10%) on the basis of the
Landlord’s estimates and assumptions of fact which shall govern unless shown
to be erroneous.

environment; and

	 	(b)	 	subject to the Tenant’s obligations hereunder, to take or cause

information concerning such Hazardous Substance and its presence on the
Premises or the Lands or the Building as the Landlord may require;

	 	(d)	 	give notice to the Landlord of any occurrence which might give
rise to a duty under Environmental Law by either the Tenant or the Landlord

-44-

 

	 	 	 	respect to the presence of any Hazardous Substance on the Premises (or the
Lands or the Building if the Hazardous Substance is in the control of the

leak, spill or escape into the environment of any Hazardous Substance at, to
or from the Premises or the Lands or the Building;

law responsible, to commission an environmental audit at the Tenant’s expense
when required by the Landlord to do so;
	 
	 	(g)	 	comply with any investigative, remedial or precautionary
measures required under Environmental Law or as reasonably required by the
Landlord, be fully and completely liable to the Landlord for any and all

costs incurred to comply with Environmental Law or any request by the Landlord
that such measures be taken with respect to any Hazardous Substance brought
onto the Lands by the Tenant or by those for whom it is responsible at law;
	 
	 	(h)	 	provide access to the Premises for the Landlord or its agents

expiry of the Term of this Lease.

	 	22.3	 	Tenant Indemnity: The Tenant will indemnify, hold harmless and defend
the Landlord, its respective directors, officers, agents, employees, invitees and
representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses, claims, suits,
costs and demands of whatsoever nature including, but not limited to, any Environmental

costs the Tenant has contributed payment as part of the Occupancy Costs.
	 
	 	22.4	 	Inquiries by the Landlord: The Tenant hereby authorizes the Landlord
to make inquiries from time to time of any government or governmental agency with
respect to the Tenant’s compliance with the Environmental Law at the Premises, and the
Tenant covenants and agrees that the Tenant will from time to time provide to the

facilitate the obtaining of such information. The Landlord or its agent may inspect the
Premises from time to time without notice, in order to verify the Tenant’s compliance
with the Environmental Law and the requirements of this Lease respecting Hazardous
Substance. If the Landlord suspects that the Tenant is in breach of any of its
covenants herein, the Landlord and its agent shall be entitled to conduct an
environmental audit immediately, and the Tenant shall provide access to the Landlord
and its agent for the purpose of conducting an environmental audit. Such environmental
audit shall be at the Landlord’s expense, unless the Tenant is in default under the

ensure that it complies with all of its covenants herein. Upon request by the Landlord
from time to time, the Tenant shall provide to the Landlord a certificate executed by a

upon the property of the Premises or the Lands any Hazardous Substance or if the
conduct of the Tenant’s business shall cause there to be any Hazardous Substance upon
the Lands or the Premises then, notwithstanding any rule of law to the contrary, such
Hazardous Substance shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Tenant

affixation of the Hazardous Substance or the goods containing the Hazardous Substance

this Lease.

-46-

 

	 	 	 	any and all damages and claims asserted by third parties and the Landlord’s
solicitors’ fees and costs.

ARTICLE 23 — MISCELLANEOUS

	 	23.1	 	Relationship of Parties: Nothing contained in this Lease shall create
any relationship between the parties hereto other than that of landlord and tenant, and
it is acknowledged and agreed that the Landlord does not in any way or for any purpose
become a partner of the Tenant in the conduct of its business, or a joint venturer or a
member of a joint or common enterprise with the Tenant.
	 
	 	23.2	 	Name of Building: The Landlord shall have the right, after thirty (30)
days’ notice to the Tenant, to change the name, number or designation of the Building,
during the Term without liability to the Tenant.
	 
	 	23.3	 	Applicable Law and Construction: This Lease shall be governed by and
construed under the laws of the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws
of Canada applicable therein, and its provisions shall be construed as a whole
according to their common meaning and not strictly for or against the Landlord or the
Tenant. The words the Landlord and the Tenant shall include the plural as well as the
singular. Time is of the essence of the Lease and each of its provisions. The captions
of the Articles and Sections are included for convenience only, and shall have no
effect upon the construction or interpretation of this Lease.
	 
	 	23.4	 	Entire Agreement: There are no terms and conditions with respect to
the Premises, the Lands or the Building which at the date of execution of this Lease
are additional or supplemental to those set out on the pages of this Lease, and in the
Schedules which are attached hereto and which form part of this Lease. This Lease
contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Premises,
the Lands or the Building. The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied
upon any statement, representation, agreement or warranty with respect to the Premises,
the Lands or the Building except such as is set out in this Lease. Delivery of an
unsigned copy of this Lease to the Tenant, notwithstanding insertion of all particulars
in the Lease and presentation of any cheque or acceptance of any monies by the Landlord
given by the Tenant as a deposit, does not constitute an offer by the Landlord, and no
contractual or other legal right shall be created between the parties hereto until this
Lease has been fully executed by both parties and delivery has been made of an executed
copy of this Lease to the Tenant.
	 
	 	23.5	 	Amendment or Modification: Unless otherwise specifically provided in
the Lease, no amendment, modification, or supplement to this Lease shall be valid or
binding unless set out in writing and executed by the parties hereto in the same manner
as the execution of this Lease.

-47-

 

	 	23.6	 	Construed Covenants and Severability: All of the provisions of the
Lease are to be construed as covenants and agreements as though the word importing such
covenants and agreements were used in each separate Article and Section hereof. Should
any provision of this Lease be or become invalid, void, illegal or not enforceable, it
shall be considered separate and severable from the Lease and the remaining provisions
shall remain in force and be binding upon the parties hereto as though such provision
had not been included.
	 
	 	23.7	 	No Implied Surrender or Waiver: No provisions of this Lease shall be
deemed to have been waived by a party unless such waiver is in writing signed by the
other party. A party’s waiver of a breach of any term or condition of this Lease shall
not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a breach, from
having all the force and effect of any original breach. Failure of a party to insist
upon strict performance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease or to
exercise any right herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of any such covenant, condition or right. The Landlord’s
receipt of Rent with a knowledge of a breach by the Tenant of any term or condition of
the Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such term or condition. No act or thing done
by a party, its agents or employees during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a
surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall
be valid, unless in writing and signed by the Landlord and the Tenant. The delivery of
keys to any of the Landlord’s agents or employees shall not operate as a termination of
the Lease or a surrender of the Premises. No payment by the Tenant, or receipt by the
Landlord, of a lesser amount than the Rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other
than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement
on any cheque or any letter accompanying any cheque, or payment as Rent, be deemed an
accord and satisfaction, and the Landlord may accept such cheque or payment without
prejudice to the Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any
other remedy available to the Landlord.
	 
	 	23.8	 	Liability Joint/Several: In the event there is more than one entity or
person which or whom are parties constituting the Landlord or the Tenant under this
Lease, the obligation imposed upon such parties under this Lease shall be joint and
several.
	 
	 	23.9	 	Unavoidable Delay: Save and except for the obligations of the Tenant
as set forth in this Lease to pay Base Rent, Occupancy Costs, increased rent or other
monies to the Landlord, and the Landlord’s obligations to provide quiet enjoyment to
the Tenant, if either party shall fail to meet its obligations hereunder within the
time prescribed and such failure shall be caused or materially contributed to by Force
Majeure, such failure shall be deemed not to be a breach of the obligations of such
party hereunder and neither party shall be entitled to compensation from the other for
any inconvenience, nuisance or discomfort thereby occasioned, provided that the party
claiming Force Majeure shall use reasonable diligence to put itself in a position to
carry out Its obligations hereunder, and the time for performance of such obligations
shall be extended by the length of time by which performance is delayed by Force
Majeure.

-48-

 

	 	23.10	 	Survival of Obligations: If either Party is in default of any of its
obligations under this Lease at the time this Lease expires or is terminated:

	 	(a)	 	such party shall remain fully liable for the performance of
such obligations; and

	 	(b)	 	all of the other party’s rights and remedies in respect of such
failure shall remain in full force and effect,

	 	 	 	all of which shall be deemed to have survived such expiration or termination of this
Lease. Every indemnity, exclusion or release of liability and waiver of subrogation
contained In this Lease or in any of the Tenant or the Landlord’s insurance policies
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
	 
	 	23.11	 	No Option The submission of this Lease for examination does not
constitute a reservation of or option to lease for the Premises and this Lease becomes
effective as a lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by the Landlord and the
Tenant
	 
	 	23.12	 	References to Statutes: Any reference to a statute in this Lease
includes a reference to all regulations made pursuant to such statute, all amendments
made to such statute and regulations in force from time to time and to any statute or
regulation which may be passed and which has the effect of supplementing or superseding
such statute or regulations.
	 
	 	23.13	 	Counterparts and Execution by Fax: This Lease may be executed by the
parties in separate counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered to all of
the parties shall be deemed to be and shall be read as a single Lease among the
parties. In addition, execution of this Lease by any of the parties may be evidenced by
way of a faxed or electronic transmission of such party’s signature (which signature
may be by separate counterpart), or a photocopy of such faxed or electronic
transmission, and such faxed or electronic signature, or photocopy of such faxed or
electronic signature, shall be deemed to constitute the original signature of such
party to this Lease.
	 
	 	23.14	 	No Contra Proferentem: This Agreement has been negotiated and
approved by the parties and, notwithstanding any rule or maxim of law or construction
to the contrary, any ambiguity or uncertainty will not be construed against either of
the parties by reason of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
	 
	 	23.15	 	Binding Effect: All rights and liabilities herein given to, or
imposed upon, the respective parties hereto shall extend to and bind the several
respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns of the
said parties. No rights, however, shall ensure to the benefit of any Transferee of a
party unless the Transfer to such Transferee has been affected in accordance with the
provisions of this Lease.
