To
the
extent available and in the possession or control of the Vendor, the Vendor
will
make available to the Purchaser for the Purchaser's review copies of the
following within five (5) days after execution hereof and after such date
at the
Purchaser’s written request:

third
parties for the Vendor;

all
outstanding written directives or work orders, if any, issued by

and
|
|
(g)
|
such
other documents, plans, reports, bills, statements and other information
relating to Subject Assets as the Purchaser may reasonably
require.
|
The
Vendor will execute and deliver to the Purchaser within three (3) Business
Days
after receipt of a written request from the Purchaser, authorizations to
Governmental
-
7 -
Authorities
necessary to permit the Purchaser to obtain information from their files,
provided each such authorization expressly states that there shall not be
any
inspections by a Governmental Authority with respect to the Property and
none is
authorized or requested and such authorization must otherwise be satisfactory
to

Governmental Authority to inspect any of the Property.
2.3

Tenant
Estoppels
|
If
requested by the Purchaser, the Vendor shall use reasonable commercial efforts
to obtain and deliver to the Purchaser at least five (5) days prior to the
Due
Diligence Date, estoppel certificates ("Tenant Estoppels") from
all Tenants (other than from Heritage Fine Clothing Manufacturers Ltd.),
which
Tenant Estoppels shall be dated no earlier than May 15, 2006. The
failure to obtain such Tenant Estoppels shall not constitute a default on
the
part of the Vendor nor shall such failure entitle the Purchaser to terminate
this Agreement or to any other right or remedy whatsoever. The Vendor
shall not be required to spend any monies to obtain such Tenant Estoppels,
other
than its own costs of preparing and distributing the forms. The
Vendor shall provide the Purchaser with a copy of the Tenant Estoppels, if
any,
forthwith after they are received. To the extent Tenant Estoppels
shall not be forthcoming from any particular Tenant (other than from Heritage
Fine Clothing Manufacturers Ltd.), the Vendor shall deliver a certificate

"Certificate re: Lease") from a senior officer of the Vendor,
without personal liability, certifying that matters which otherwise would
have
been the subject of the Tenant Estoppel for such Tenant. In the event that,
at
any time before or after Closing, the Vendor provides the Purchaser with
a
Tenant Estoppel for any Lease in respect of which the Vendor has given a
Certificate re: Lease and such Tenant Estoppel contains information consistent
in all material respects with that set out in the Certificate re: Lease in
respect of such Lease then the Certificate re: Lease shall cease to be of
any
force and effect in respect of such Lease; and this provision for substitution
survives Closing.
2.4
|
Access
to Property

(a) Subject
to the Purchaser complying with each of its obligations herein and the rights
of
the Tenants under the Leases, from and after the Execution Date to and including
the Due Diligence Date, the Purchaser and its agents, consultants and employees
have had and shall continue to have access to the Property during the Vendor's
normal business hours upon reasonable notice to the Vendor, at the Purchaser's
sole risk and expense, for the purpose of inspecting the Property, including
without limitation performing physical and structural inspections, soil tests
and environmental audits. Such inspections, tests and audits shall be
conducted in a manner that minimizes interference with the use of the Property
and does not contravene any Leases or unreasonably interfere with any
Tenants. The Purchaser and its agents, consultants and employees
shall not have any communications with Tenants or their
employees. The Vendor shall have the right to accompany the Purchaser
and its agents, consultants and employees on any inspections and shall have
the
right, acting reasonably, to approve, or to refuse approval for, invasive
or
intrusive inspections, tests and audits, if any are proposed by the Purchaser,
prior to such inspections, tests and audits being undertaken. No such
inspections,
-
8 -
tests
or
audits shall occur unless the Purchaser has given the Vendor at least one
complete Business Day’s prior written notice and complies with the foregoing
requirements;
(b) The
Purchaser shall repair any damage caused by inspections, tests and audits
performed by the Purchaser or its agents, consultants or employees and fully
indemnify the Vendor from all costs of repairing any damage caused by such
inspections, tests or audits and all Claims relating to any such inspections,
tests and audits and from all Claims incurred by the Vendor as a result
thereof. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement
regardless of the cause of such termination.

Purchaser's
Investigations
|
(a) On
or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date, the Purchaser shall conduct
(subject to compliance with other relevant provisions of this Agreement)
all
investigations, inspections, reviews, tests and audits relating to the Subject
Assets and the Property (including, without limitation, title to the Subject
Assets and the Property and compliance with Applicable Laws) and the
transactions provided for herein (collectively referred to herein as the
"Due Diligence") which the Purchaser deems necessary or
desirable.
(b) The
Purchaser shall be entitled, on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence
Date,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine whether it is satisfied
with
the results of its Due Diligence. The Purchaser shall be deemed to
not be satisfied with the result of its Due Diligence unless it delivers
to the
Vendor on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date a written notice
in the
form attached hereto (with the relevant details inserted therein) as Schedule
H
(the "Satisfaction Notice") stating that it is satisfied with
the results of its Due Diligence including, without limiting the generality
of
the foregoing, the contents of the Tenant Estoppels. If the Purchaser
fails to give the Vendor a Satisfaction Notice by such time, then this Agreement
shall terminate automatically at such time and, upon such termination, the
Purchaser and Vendor shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement
(except for those obligations which are expressly stated to survive the
termination of this Agreement) and the Deposit and all interest earned on
it
shall be returned to the Purchaser.
(c) If
the Purchaser does deliver the Satisfaction Notice to the Vendor by such
time,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 2.1), the Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably
waived its right to raise any objection to, or to have or make any Claim
regarding, any circumstance, defect, matter or issue in respect of the Subject
Assets or the Property, or any other aspect thereof of any nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, any objection or Claim relating to the Vendor's
title to the Subject Assets or any matter relating to title to the Property
or
the existence of any Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances to be Discharged),
as
such title and Encumbrances exist on the Due Diligence Date, any non-compliance
with Applicable Laws, or any Contract, Encumbrance or other instrument) unless
the foregoing first arose or was created after the Due Diligence Date and
then
only to the extent otherwise permitted pursuant to this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Purchaser also agrees that it shall not have the right to seek an abatement
to
the Purchase Price or any other remedy by virtue of any matters Disclosed
to
the
-
9 -
Purchaser
prior to the Due Diligence Date or as a result of any circumstance, defect,
matter or issue in respect of the Subject Assets or the Property in respect
of
the Subject Assets or the Property, or any other aspect thereof of any nature
whatsoever, in existence at the Due Diligence Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, if the Closing does take place the foregoing does
not
derogate from the Purchaser's rights in the event of any breach of a
representation or warranty made in this Agreement by the Vendor, except as
is
otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 2.8.
2.6
|

case,
receive any information of the nature referred to above to comply with
the
requirements of this Section 2.6.
(b) Neither
the Vendor nor the Purchaser shall issue any press release or other
public
announcement or release information with respect to this Agreement
to the press
or the public unless the same has been mutually approved by the Vendor
Parties
and the Purchaser or such disclosure is in the good faith opinion of
the
Purchaser or the Vendor, as the case may be, required in order to comply
with
any Applicable Laws, with any agreement between any affiliate of the
Vendor and
any inspector in respect of Xxxxxxxxx Inc. appointed under the Canada
Business Corporations Act, or the rules, orders or regulations of any stock
exchange or to satisfy the obligations of the Vendor
under Permitted Encumbrances, and then only after prior
consultation with the other party hereto, if possible.
(c) It
is agreed that if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, each
party shall
promptly return, or cause to be returned, to the other party all written
Confidential Information in the possession or control of the other
party or any
other Person to whom Confidential Information has been provided and
shall
destroy, or cause to be destroyed, any Confidential Information stored
in or on
any computer memory, disk, tape or other contrivance whatsoever in
the
possession or control of the other party or any other Person to whom
the other
party has
-

provided
Confidential Information. On request of a party, the other party
shall certify that it has complied with its obligation under this
Section.
(d) The
provisions of this Section are supplementary to the provisions of the
Confidentiality Agreement and do not in any way derogate from the obligations
of
the Purchaser pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement. In the case
of any conflict between the provisions of this Section and the provisions
of the
Confidentiality Agreement, the latter shall prevail.
(e) The
provisions of this Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing or any termination
of
this Agreement, regardless of the cause of such termination.
2.7
|
Settlement
of Documents
|
The
parties shall proceed diligently and in good faith to attempt to agree, on
or
before the Due Diligence Date, upon the contents of all Closing Documents
to be
executed and delivered by the Vendor and the Purchaser; provided that in
the
case of any Closing Documents to be executed and delivered in the form set
out
in a schedule to this Agreement, such form shall not be subject to further
negotiations and the Vendor shall provide all details and/or information
necessary to complete such documents, subject to the Purchaser's approval
of the
accuracy of such details and information, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld.
2.8

Subsequent
Deliveries
|
Any
documentation or other information provided by the Vendor to the Purchaser
pursuant to Section 2.2 may be amended or supplemented by the Vendor as
necessary from time to time until the Due Diligence Date. In
addition, if the Vendor becomes aware of a failure to provide any document
or
other information that it is required to provide in accordance with Section
2.2
at any time prior to the Due Diligence Date, it may advise the Purchaser
in
writing of such failure and deliver such information to the Purchaser at
any
time prior to the Due Diligence Date. If the Purchaser delivers a
Satisfaction Notice pursuant to Section 2.5 prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Due
Diligence Date, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted for all purposes
all matters which have been Disclosed to the Purchaser on or before the Due
Diligence Date and if any representation or warranty of the Vendor is incorrect
or inaccurate but the Purchaser has received written notice from the Vendor
or
its Representatives on or before the Due Diligence Date of the instrument,
circumstance, action, omission, matter or issue which causes such representation
or warranty to be incorrect or inaccurate, then such representation and warranty
shall be deemed to have been qualified by reference to such instrument,
circumstance, matter or issue.

Deposit
|
(a) Prior
to 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following the Board Approval Date
is
executed by both parties hereto the Purchaser shall pay $350,000 (the
"Initial Deposit") by certified cheque or negotiable bank draft
to the Vendor's Solicitors to be invested by the Vendor's Solicitors in trust,
as the Purchaser directs, in a term deposit or other similar certificate
of
deposit with a Canadian Schedule I chartered
bank. Contemporaneously with the payment of the Initial Deposit by
the Purchaser to the Vendor's Solicitors, the Purchaser shall deliver to
the
Vendor's Solicitors a deposit authorization in the form attached hereto as
Schedule I.
(b) Unless
this Agreement has terminated pursuant to Section 2.5, prior to 11:00 a.m.
(Toronto time) on the first Business Day following the Due Diligence Date,
the
Purchaser shall pay $650,000 (the "Additional
Deposit") as a further deposit to the Vendor's Solicitors to be
invested, as the Purchaser directs, by the Vendor's Solicitors on the same
terms
as referred to in Subsection 3.1(a). In this Agreement,
"Deposit" means the Initial Deposit and, if applicable, the
Additional Deposit. Contemporaneously with the payment of the
Additional Deposit by the Purchaser to the Vendor's Solicitors, the Purchaser
shall deliver to the Vendor's Solicitors a deposit authorization in the form
attached hereto as Schedule I.
(c) If
the Transaction is not completed for any reason other than the default of
the
Purchaser (and for greater certainty the failure to submit a Satisfaction
Notice
is not a default of the Purchaser), the Deposit (together with all interest
thereon) shall be returned to the Purchaser forthwith thereafter. If
the Transaction is not completed as a result of the default of the Purchaser,
the Deposit, together with interest thereon, shall be forfeited to the Vendor
and thereupon be paid to the Vendor, without prejudice to the rights and
remedies of the Vendor at law or in equity as a result of such
default.
(d) If
the Transaction is completed, the Deposit and accrued interest shall be credited
against the Purchase Price due on Closing.
(e) In
holding and dealing with the Deposit pursuant to this Agreement, the Vendor's
Solicitors are not bound in any way by any agreement other than this Agreement,
and Vendor's Solicitors shall not be considered to assume any duty, liability
or
responsibility other than to hold the Deposit in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement and to pay the Deposit to the Person becoming entitled
thereto
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement except in the event of a dispute
between the parties as to entitlement to the Deposit; in the case of such
dispute, the Vendor's Solicitors may, in their discretion, pay the monies
in
dispute into court, whereupon the Vendor's Solicitors shall have no further
obligations relating to the Deposit and interest earned thereon. The
Vendor's Solicitors will not, under any circumstances, be required to verify
or
determine the validity of any notice or other document whatsoever delivered
to
the Vendor's Solicitors and the Vendor's Solicitors are hereby relieved of
any
liability or responsibility for any loss or damage which may arise as the

Method
of Payment of Purchase
Price
|
On
Closing the Purchase Price shall be satisfied as follows:
|
(a)
|
by
application of the Deposit and interest earned thereon held by
the
Vendor's Solicitors;
|
|
(b)
|
an
amount equal to one half of the Purchase Price, payable to the Vendor
pursuant to
the vendor take back mortgage (the "VTB
Mortgage")
in accordance with Section 3.4;
and
|
|
(c)
|
by
payment to the Vendor, or as the Vendor directs in writing, of
an amount
(the "Balance") equal to the Purchase Price, as adjusted
pursuant to Section 3.3, less the aggregate of the amounts referred
to in
paragraphs 3.2(a) and (b). The Balance shall be paid on Closing
by the Purchaser by certified cheque or negotiable bank draft of
one of
the five largest (by asset size) Schedule I Canadian chartered
banks.
|
If
at any
time the Vendor delivers to the Purchaser a direction in writing in respect
of
the payment of the Balance the Purchaser shall forthwith provide, at the
Vendor's request, in favour of any lender to the Vendor and/or affiliates
of the
Vendor an irrevocable acknowledgement of such direction and an agreement
to act
in accordance therewith unless otherwise agreed to by such lender.

Adjustments
|
|
(a)
|
Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Vendor shall be responsible for
all
expenses and liabilities, including, without limitation, the expense
of
paying and radiating all Encumbrances to be Discharged, and be
entitled to
receive all revenues, accrued in respect of the Subject Assets
up to and
including the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, the
Purchaser shall be responsible for all expenses and liabilities
accruing
in respect of the Subject Assets after the Closing Date and shall
be
entitled to all revenues accruing in respect of the Subject Assets
after
the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, all
adjustments for basic rent, additional rents, percentage rents,
ground
lease rents, parking income, damage/security deposits and interest
thereon, if any, prepaid rents and interest thereon, if any, and
other
income and operating expenses, utilities, taxes (including local
improvement charges and assessments and business taxes) and other
adjustments established by the usual practice in the City of Toronto,
shall be made as of the Closing Date and shall be paid on the Closing
Date
pursuant to a
|
-
13 -
|
statement
of adjustments to be prepared by the Vendor and approved by the
Purchaser,
each acting reasonably.
|
|
(b)
|
If
the final cost or amount of any item which is to be adjusted cannot
be
determined at Closing, then an initial adjustment for such item
shall be
made at Closing, such amount to be estimated by the Vendor, acting
reasonably, as of the Closing Date on the basis of the best evidence
available at the Closing as to what the final cost or amount of
such item
will be. All amounts which have been estimated as at the
Closing Date because they have not been finally determined at that
date
(the "Post Closing Adjustments") shall be finally
adjusted on a post-closing basis once they have been determined
and
finalized. In each case when a Post Closing Adjustment is
determined, the Vendor or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall
within
30 days of determination, provide a complete statement thereof,
together
with particulars relating thereto in reasonable detail, to the
other and
within 30 days thereafter the parties hereto shall make a final
adjustment
as of the Closing Date for the Post Closing Adjustment in
question. In the case of any dispute between the parties hereto
with respect to any Post Closing Adjustments, the final amount
of such
Post Closing Adjustments shall be determined by the audit firm
of Deloitte
& Touche LLP and the cost of such determination shall be shared
equally between the parties hereto. Either party may refer any
such dispute to Deloitte & Touche LLP for such determination and such
determination shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto. The Vendor and Purchaser agree to execute and deliver
on the Closing Date an undertaking to re-adjust and pay the amount
of any
Post Closing Adjustments as may be owing pursuant to the provisions
of
this Agreement. Such undertaking shall include an undertaking
by the Vendor to make available its records regarding the calculation
of
its capital tax and large corporation tax required pursuant to
the Leases
and all such information as may be necessary to allow the Purchaser
and
Vendor to proceed to Post-Closing Adjustments. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, all adjustments and Post Closing Adjustments to
be made
pursuant to this Subsection 3.3(b) shall, in any event, be completed
on or
before the date which is the first anniversary of the Closing Date
(the
"Final Adjustment Date") and no claim for any
re-adjustment may be made by either party thereafter, unless such
claim is
a claim contemplated by the provisions of Section 6.3, in which
case such
provisions shall apply. It is agreed that no adjustments shall
be made with respect to insurance premiums and that the Purchaser
shall
not assume or take an assignment of the Vendor's insurance
policies.
|
|
(c)
|
The
parties acknowledge that under the terms of Leases and Approved
Leases,
portions of certain payments, such as realty taxes and operating
costs,
(including, where recoverable, taxes on capital and large corporation
taxes) although paid by the landlord, are charged to and payable
by the
Tenants under such Leases and Approved Leases (the "Rechargeable
Sums") and are collected from such Tenants in monthly instalments
on the basis of the landlord's estimates (the "Rechargeable Sum
Estimates"). The Rechargeable Sum Estimates are
subject
|
-
14 -
|
to
adjustment with the Tenants when the total amounts of the Rechargeable
Sums are finally determined. For greater certainty,
Rechargeable Sums shall not include any expenditures or any portion
thereof which are not recoverable from the Tenants by the terms
of the
Leases and Approved Leases. It is agreed that, with respect to
the Rechargeable Sums and the Rechargeable Sum Estimates, adjustments
shall be made not at Closing but forthwith after the actual amount
of the
Rechargeable Sums has been ascertained for the relevant fiscal
year,
calendar year or tax year, as appropriate, for the
Property. Such adjustments shall be made as
follows:
|
|
(i)
|
the
Purchaser shall provide to the Vendor a statement which sets out
the
amounts collected from each Tenant on account of Rechargeable Sums,
as
well as the Rechargeable Sums for the relevant fiscal year, calendar
year
or tax year, as appropriate, for the
Property;
|
|
(ii)
|
if
such statement indicates that the Vendor has collected pursuant
to the
Rechargeable Sum Estimates more than the Vendor's share (as hereinafter
defined) of the Rechargeable Sums for the relevant fiscal year,
calendar
year or tax year, as appropriate, the amount of such difference
shall be
paid by the Vendor to the Purchaser within ten Business Days after
the
amount of such difference has been finally determined pursuant
to this
Agreement in accordance with Subsection 3.3(b) and the Purchaser
shall be
responsible for, and make, the required adjustments with the Tenants
in
respect of such over-collection in accordance with the terms of
the
Leases; the "Vendor's share" of the Rechargeable Sums means the
amount
obtained by multiplying the Rechargeable Sums by a fraction, the
numerator
of which is the number of days in the relevant fiscal year, calendar
year
or tax year, prior to and including the Closing Date and the denominator
of which is the total number of days in such fiscal, calendar or
tax year;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
if
such statement indicates that the Vendor has collected pursuant
to the
Rechargeable Sum Estimates less than the Vendor's share of the
Rechargeable Sums, the amount of such difference shall be paid
by the
Purchaser to the Vendor within ten Business Days after the amount
of such
difference has been finally determined pursuant to this Agreement
in
accordance with Subsection 3.3(b) and such amount has been collected
from
the Tenants and the Purchaser shall be entitled to the amount collected
in
respect of such difference.
|
It
is
agreed that the Purchaser shall be responsible to conclude all final
reconciliations and to make all payments and satisfy all obligations with
all
Tenants relating to the Rechargeable Sums and Rechargeable Sum
Estimates.
|
(d)
|
The
Vendor and the Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree
that:
|
-
15 -
|
(i)
|
the
Vendor shall be responsible for and shall pay (and same shall be
shown as
an adjustment in favour of the Purchaser on the statement of adjustments
if unpaid to the party entitled thereto by
Closing):
|
|
(A)
|
any
real estate or leasing commissions in respect of the Existing Leases
and/or the Approved Leases, and the Vendor shall not have any
responsibility therefor nor shall there be any adjustment in favour
of the
Purchaser in respect thereof; and
|
|
(B)
|
any
tenant inducements, tenant allowances and/or early termination
fees
payable under the Existing Leases and/or the Approved Leases, and
the
Vendor shall not have any responsibility therefor nor shall there
be any
adjustment in favour of the Purchaser in respect
thereof;
|
|
(ii)
|
the
Purchaser shall not be entitled to be paid or receive the benefit
of any
amount payable or owing under the Leases for rent or any other
amounts for
any period prior to Closing, including without limitation accounts
receivable under and pursuant to the Leases as at Closing, and
the
Purchaser shall use reasonable commercial efforts to collect such
amounts
following Closing (which amounts shall remain the property of the
Vendor
after Closing) provided that the Purchaser shall not be obliged
to seize
for rent, terminate any Lease or bring any action for payment of
indebtedness and to the extent the Purchaser does receive any of
the
aforementioned amounts after Closing, they shall be applied as
follows:
|
|
(A)
|
first,
against any rent (including arrears of rent) and other amounts
owing to
the Purchaser by a Tenant or assumed by the Purchaser hereunder
or arising
after the Closing Date;
|
|
(B)
|
second,
against any reasonable third party costs (including accounting
costs)
incurred by the Purchaser in respect of the collection of such
arrears in
rent; and
|
|
(C)
|
thereafter,
the excess, if any, against the arrears in rent for periods prior
to
Closing, which the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor within ten
(10)
Business Days after collection thereof, together with a statement
as to
the amount of such arrears and the application of the proceeds
thereof;
|
|
(iii)
|
in
the event that there are any realty or business tax appeals for
the period
prior to Closing, the Vendor may, at its option, continue such
appeals and
shall be entitled to receive any payment resulting therefrom except
to the
extent that such payment is properly payable to any Tenants; provided
that
the Vendor shall consult with the Purchaser with respect to, and
the
Purchaser acting reasonably shall have the right to approve, any
final
|
-
16 -
|
settlement
or disposition of any such appeal. Any refund or reassessment
for the 2006 calendar year (after deduction of out-of-pocket expenses
in
conducting any such appeal or reassessment, including any commissions
payable to agents or consultants) shall be readjusted as of the
Closing
Date after the conclusion of any assessment appeal and notwithstanding
such readjustment occurs after the Final Adjustment Date. The
Purchaser agrees to co-operate with the Vendor with respect to
all such
appeals or reassessments and to provide the Vendor with access
to any
necessary documents or materials required to continue any such
appeals or
reassessments. To the extent the Purchaser receives payment of
any refund or reassessment for the period prior to the Closing
Date, the
Purchaser shall hold such refund or reassessment payment in trust
for the
Vendor and shall endorse (without recourse) in favour of the Vendor
and
deliver to the Vendor all such payment cheques forthwith upon receipt;
provided that in all cases, readjustments with the Tenants as the
result
of any refunds or reassessments may be effected by the Purchaser
prior to
the payment of any refund or reassessment to the Vendor or to the
Purchaser and the amount otherwise owing to the Vendor in accordance
with
the foregoing shall be reduced by any amount payable to any Tenants
as a
result of any such adjustments.
|
|
(e)
|
The
Purchaser shall provide the Vendor and its auditors, during normal
business hours at any time and from time to time after Closing
upon
reasonable prior notice to the Purchaser, access to the books,
files and
records of the Purchaser relating exclusively to the Subject Assets,
for
the purpose of calculating or verifying the amount of any Adjustments,
Rechargeable Sums and Rechargeable Sum Estimates and dealing with
any tax
appeals.
|
|
(f)
|
On
the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall issue replacement letters
of credit
and/or security deposits for the letters of credit and/or security
deposits with respect to the Property, if any, (all of which shall
be
Disclosed to the Purchaser at least twenty (20) days prior to the
Due
Diligence Date) and shall use its reasonable commercial efforts
to cause
the Vendor's letters of credit and/or security deposits with respect
to
the Property to be released and returned to the
Vendor. Provided that to the extent that the Purchaser is
unable to cause such letters of credit and/or security deposits
to be
released and returned to the Vendor, in lieu of issuing the replacement
letters of credit and/or security deposits referred to above, the
Purchaser shall cause matching letters of credit and/or security
deposits
to be provided to the Vendor, which matching letters of credit
and/or
security deposits may be drawn upon by the Vendor if and to the
extent
that the Vendor's letters of credit and/or security deposits are
drawn
upon.

(a)
|
all
of the material terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement
to be
complied with or performed by the Vendor shall have been complied

|
|
(b)
|
on
Closing, the Vendors shall (subject to the Vendors' right to deliver,

other
party, be terminated and both parties hereto shall be released from all of
their
liabilities and obligations under this Agreement (other than the obligations
referred to in Subsection 2.4(b) and Section 2.6) unless the reason for the
Unsatisfied Condition not being satisfied is the breach by a party hereto
of an
obligation under this Agreement or a representation and warranty made by
such
party being incorrect or inaccurate, in which case a claim may be made against
such party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if by
the
-

own
professionals) to satisfy any conditions, or to address any defects,
deficiencies or concerns identified by the Purchaser with respect to the

whatsoever. Each of the Purchaser and the Vendor shall act in good

|
(a) The
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Subject Assets and all other aspects
of the Transaction are being sold and purchased "as-is, where-is", without
any
representation, warranty or covenant except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement. The Purchaser agrees to exercise its rights to perform Due
Diligence on or before the Due Diligence Date and shall rely solely upon
its own
findings resulting therefrom and not upon any information, documentation,
statement or opinion, written or oral, provided by the Vendor or any agent
of
the Vendor other than the representations and warranties set out in
Section 6.1.
(b) Except
as expressly provided in Section 6.1, the Vendor makes no representations
or
warranties of any nature whatsoever with respect to any information or
documentation Disclosed to the Purchaser, nor with respect to the Subject
Assets
(including, without limitation, the Vendor's title thereto and any
Encumbrances), the Property or any other assets or the Transaction including,
without limitation, (i) the structural integrity or any other aspect of the
physical condition of the Buildings, (ii) the conformity of the Buildings
to any
plans or specifications for the Property (including, but not limited to,
any

Purchaser), (iii) the conformity of the Property to past, current or future
applicable zoning or building code requirements or other Applicable Laws,

or
partially in a flood plain or a flood hazard boundary or similar area, (vii)
the

of public utilities and services for the Property, (ix) the fitness or
suitability of the Property for occupancy or any intended use (including
matters
relating to health and safety and the environment), (x) the potential for
further development of the Property, (xi) the existence of land use, zoning
or
building entitlements affecting the Property, (xii) the existence of any
unused
density that would permit a redevelopment of the Property, (xiii) the status
of
any of the Leases, Contracts or Permitted Encumbrances, and or that any of
the
Leases, Contracts or Permitted Encumbrances is assignable or in good standing,
(xiv) the presence of toxic wastes, hazardous materials or contaminants in,
on
or about the Property or any other environmental issue or condition, or (xv)
the
conformity of the Property to the Heritage Act (Ontario) or to any

historical properties (collectively, the "Property
Conditions").
(c) As
part of the Purchaser's agreement to purchase the Subject Assets and accept
the
Subject Assets and the Property "as-is, where-is", and not as a limitation
on
such agreement, the Purchaser hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives
any
and all actual or potential rights or claims the Purchaser might have against
the Vendor pursuant to any warranty, express or implied, of any kind or type,
other than those representations and warranties expressly set forth in this
Agreement, relating to the Property or any other assets, the Subject Assets,
the
Property Conditions or any other aspect of the Transaction. Such
waiver is absolute, unlimited
-
26 -
and
includes, but is not limited to, waiver of express warranties, implied
warranties, warranties of fitness for a particular use, warranties of
merchantability, warranties of occupancy, strict liability and claims of
every
kind and type, including, but not limited to, claims regarding defects, whether
or not discoverable, product liability claims, or similar claims, and to
all
other extent or later created or conceived of strict liability or strict
liability type claims and rights.
(d) Except
as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.1, the Vendor shall not be
responsible or liable for any misrepresentation, lack of disclosure or incorrect
or incomplete disclosure of any nature whatsoever or failure to investigate
the
Property on the part of any real estate broker or sales agent, or any other
purported or acknowledged agent, representative, contractor, consultant or
employee of the Vendor or any third party.
6.5
|
Bulk
Sales Legislation
|
The
Purchaser agrees that it shall not require that the Vendor comply with the
provisions of any statutes governing bulk sales or similar legislation
applicable to the Transaction. The Vendor agrees to indemnify and
save harmless the Purchaser from and against all Claims which the Purchaser
may
suffer or incur as a result of or arising out of such non-compliance by the
Vendor except those that are attributable to the Purchaser's breach after
Closing of its obligations under any Contracts, or other obligations that
have
been assigned to it, or assumed by it, on Closing pursuant to this
Agreement. This Section 6.5 shall survive Closing.
6.6
|
Third
Party Claims
|
(a) In
the case of Claims made by a third party after the Closing (a "Third
Party Claim") with respect to which the Claiming Party seeks to make a
Claim against the Responding Party as a result of the breach by the Responding
Party of any representation, warranty, certification or covenant made by
such
Responding Party in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Closing Document,
the
Claiming Party shall give written notice to the Responding Party of any such
Third Party Claim forthwith after receiving notice thereof. If the
Claiming Party fails to give such written notice to the Responding Party,
such
failure shall not preclude the Claiming Party from making such claim against
the
Responding Party, but its right to indemnification may be reduced to the
extent
that such delay prejudiced the defence of the Third Party Claim or increased
the
amount of liability or the cost of the defence.
(b) The
Responding Party shall have the right, by written notice to the Claiming
Party
given not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice referred
to in
Subsection 6.6(a), to assume the control of the defence, compromise or
settlement of the Third Party Claim.
(c) Upon
the assumption of control of any Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party
as
contemplated by Subsection 6.6(b), the Responding Party shall diligently
proceed
with the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim at its
sole
expense, including, if necessary, employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Claiming Party and, in connection therewith, the Claiming Party shall
co-operate fully (but at the expense of the Responding Party with respect
to any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Claiming Party) to make
available to the Responding Party all pertinent information and
-
27 -
witnesses
under the Claiming Party's control, make such assignments and take such other
steps as in the opinion of counsel for the Responding Party, acting reasonably,
are reasonably necessary to enable the Claiming Party to conduct such
defence. The Claiming Party shall have the right to participate in
the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim at its own
expense and no Third Party Claim shall be settled, compromised or otherwise
disposed of without the prior written consent of the Claiming Party, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Responding
Party elects to assume control of the Third Party Claim as contemplated by
Subsection 6.6(b), the Claiming Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid,
any
part of the Third Party Claim unless the Responding Party consents in writing
to
such payment or unless the Responding Party, subject to the last sentence
of
Subsection 6.6(d), withdraws from the defence of such Third Party Claim or
unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf
of the
Responding Party is entered against the Claiming Party in respect of such
Third
Party Claim.
(d) If
the Responding Party fails to give written notice to the Claiming Party as
contemplated by Subsection 6.6(b), the Claiming Party shall be entitled to
make
such settlement of the Third Party Claim, or otherwise deal therewith, as
it
deems appropriate, acting reasonably, and such settlement or any other final
determination of the claim or demand shall be binding upon the Responding
Party. If the Responding Party fails to defend or, if after
commencing or undertaking such defence, fails to prosecute or withdraws from
such defence, the Claiming Party shall have the right to undertake the defence
or settlement thereof. If the Claiming Party assumes the defence of
any Third Party Claim and proposes to settle it prior to a final judgment
thereon or to forego any appeal with respect thereto, then the Claiming Party
shall give the Responding Party prompt written notice thereof, and the
Responding Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or
assume
or reassume the defence of such Third Party Claim.
ARTICLE 7
OPERATION
UNTIL CLOSING
7.1
|
Operation
Before Closing
|
From
the
date hereof until Closing, the Vendor shall operate the Property in accordance
with its current management practices applicable to the Property.
7.2
|
Damage
Before Closing
|
The
interest of the Vendor in and to the Property shall be at the risk of the
Vendor
until Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. If loss or damage to the Property occurs,
then:
|
(a)
|
if
the cost of repair or restoration, in the opinion of the Vendor's
architect or engineer, will exceed an amount equal to 50% of the
Purchase
Price (such damage being referred to herein as "Substantial
Damage"), then the Vendor or the Purchaser may by notice to
the
other party within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence
of such
Substantial Damage, elect to terminate this Agreement in
|
-
28 -
|
which
event this Agreement shall automatically terminate, be null and
void and
of no further force and effect whatsoever, the Purchaser and Vendor
shall
be released from all obligations under this Agreement (except those
which
are expressly stated to survive any termination of this Agreement)
and the
Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to the
Purchaser; and
|
|
(b)
|
if
such loss or damage is not Substantial Damage, or is Substantial
Damage
but neither party has elected to exercise the termination right
with
respect to the Agreement, pursuant to Subsection 7.2(a), then neither
party shall have any right to terminate this Agreement by virtue
thereof,
the Vendor shall pay any insurance deductibles in respect of such
loss or
damage, the Purchaser shall be entitled to all proceeds of property
insurance in respect of such loss or damage (except that portion,
if any,
required to reimburse the Vendor for repair or restoration work
it has
done prior to Closing and insurance for loss of income prior to
Closing,
all of which shall be paid to the Vendor), the parties shall complete
the
Transaction and the Purchaser shall promptly and diligently repair
such
damage at its own expense following
Closing.
|
If
the
damage or destruction occurs at such time that there is insufficient time
for
the Vendor or the Purchaser to make its election hereunder, the Closing Date
shall be postponed to a date which is five (5) Business Days after the earlier
of the date such election is made or the period for making such election
has
expired, or if such date is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day
thereafter.
7.3
|
Leasing
and Contracts
|
(a) The
Vendor shall not enter into any new Lease (other than a Lease for storage
space,
kiosks or parking space or for a term of more than six months) after the
date
hereof without the prior approval of the Purchaser (which approval will not
be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) provided that the requirement for the approval
of the Purchaser shall not apply in the event that the Vendor is bound to
enter
into the relevant new Lease on specified terms and conditions pursuant to
a
lease, agreement or offer in existence prior to the date hereof. The
Vendor shall not enter into any new material Contract (unless such Contract
is
terminable without penalty upon notice of not more than 180 days) after the
date
hereof without the prior approval of the Purchaser, which approval shall
not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the case of each such Lease or
Contract where the approval of the Purchaser is required, such approval shall
be
deemed to have been given if no response is received from the Purchaser within
five (5) Business Days following written request therefor sent in accordance
with the provisions hereof.
(b) At
any time after the date hereof, the Vendor shall not voluntarily amend,
terminate or accept a surrender of any Lease (other than: (i) the lease,
dated
the 20th day of
August, 1998, between Malamar Developments Limited (a predecessor in interest
of
the Vendor), as landlord, and Heritage Fine Clothing Manufacturers Ltd.,
as
tenant, in respect of premises, shown outlined in red on Schedule "B-1" to
the
said lease, located at 770 Xxxxxxxx
-
00 -
Xxxxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx), and or release any Tenant from its liability under
its
Lease or any Approved Lease (other than the Lease excepted as set out above)
or
voluntarily materially amend or terminate any material Contract without the
prior written consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. In each such case where the approval of the
Purchaser is required, such approval shall be deemed to have been given if
no
response is received from the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following
written request therefor sent in accordance with the provisions
hereof.
(c) If
any Contracts involving the provision of services to the Property, or other
similar Contracts, also apply to any other properties, the Vendor shall be
entitled, with the consent of the Purchaser, prior to the Due Diligence Date,
to
amend each such Contract, or replace it with a new or restated agreement,
in
order to provide that the Contract, as so amended or replaced (it being agreed
that the Contract as so amended or replaced is the Contract for all purposes
of
this Agreement), shall not apply to any properties other than the
Property. The provisions of Subsection 7.3(b) shall be applicable in
respect of any such amendment or replacement of such Contract, if (but only
if)
such Contract is a material Contract and changes are being made thereto other
than for the purpose described above (and all necessary conforming changes)
or
if the amount payable for such services is not currently allocated to each
property covered by such Contract on a discrete basis.
(d) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, no default by any Person other than
the
Vendor under any Lease, Permitted Encumbrances or Contract (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy or event of insolvency) or repudiation or termination
thereof, or proceeding for relief therefrom, at any time after the Due Diligence
Date, and no other change adverse to the Subject Assets or the Property or
their
value at any time after the Due Diligence Date (it being acknowledged that
the
Purchaser has a right of termination prior to the Due Diligence Date pursuant
to
Section 2.5 hereof), other than a change caused by the wrongful act of the
Vendor, shall entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or to an
abatement of the Purchase Price or any other right or remedy whatsoever,
the
Purchaser agreeing to accept the risk of the foregoing. The foregoing
does not relieve, however, the Vendor from any consequences of any default
by
the Vendor under any such Lease, Permitted Encumbrance or Contract where
the
result of such default would be the breach by the Vendor of any of its
representations or warranties or non-satisfaction of the conditions set out
in
Section 4.2, it being agreed that in the case of any such default, if it
has a
material adverse effect on the Property, the Purchaser shall be entitled
to an
adjustment of the Purchase Price by the amount of the diminution in value
of the
Property caused by such default, if any, but no other remedy.
7.4
|
Assignment
of Contracts
|
Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed as an assignment of, or an attempt to
assign to the Purchaser, any Contract or Permitted Encumbrance which is (i)
not
assignable, or (ii) not assignable without the approval or consent of the
other
party or parties thereto, without first obtaining such approval or consent
(collectively "Non-Assignable Rights"). The failure
to obtain any such approval or consent, or the fact that a Contract or Permitted
Encumbrance is not
-
30 -
assignable,
shall not entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or to any other
right or remedy whatsoever (without prejudice to the right of the Purchaser
to
terminate this Agreement prior to the Due Diligence Date pursuant to and
in
accordance with Section 2.5 if the Purchaser is not satisfied with its Due
Diligence). In connection with such Non-Assignable Rights the Vendor
shall, at the request of the Purchaser and in each case at the Purchaser's
expense:
|
(a)
|
apply
for and use all reasonable efforts to obtain all such consents
or
approvals, in a form satisfactory to the Purchaser acting reasonably,
provided that nothing herein shall require the Vendor to make any
payment
to any other party to any of the Contracts;
and
|
|
(b)
|
co-operate
with the Purchaser in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed
to
provide the benefits of such Non-Assignable Rights to the Purchaser,
including without limitation, holding any such Non-Assignable Rights
in
trust for the Purchaser or acting as agent for the Purchaser, provided
that pursuant to such arrangements the Purchaser fully indemnifies
the
Vendor for all obligations or liabilities incurred thereunder or
in
connection therewith.
|
In
the
event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Section and any other
provision of this Agreement, this Section shall prevail. This
provision survives the Closing.
7.5
|
Trade-Marks
|
No
trade-marks, trade-names, logos, commercial symbols, business names or other
intellectual property rights are conveyed or intended to be conveyed to the
Purchaser as part of the Subject Assets.

to
completely demolish the Buildings, and to excavate, grade and/or commence
