between the parties (the "Lease Amending Agreement").
C. The Lease and the Lease Amending Agreement shall be collectively herein
referred to as the "Lease", unless expressly provided to the contrary in this
Agreement.
D. The parties have agreed to: (i) extend the Term of the Lease for an
additional period of 10 years so that it shall expire on March 31, 2012; and
(ii) expand the Premises as of March 1, 2000 (the "Effective Date") by adding to
them a Gross Rentable Area of approximately 3,491 square feet on the 30th floor
of the Building (the "Addition") in the approximate location as shown
cross-hatched on the floor plan attached hereto as Schedule "A";
E. The parties have agreed to amend the Lease as of the Effective Date to
reflect the foregoing.
NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the sum
of Two Dollars ($2.00) now paid by each party to the other (the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledge), and other mutual covenants and
agreements, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
1. The parties hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that the foregoing recitals
are true in substance and in fact.
2. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for a period of 10 years commencing
April 1, 2002 and expiring on March 31, 2012 (the "Extended Term"), in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease except as otherwise
expressly modified by this Agreement.
3. The Landlord demises and leases the Addition to the Tenant and the Tenant
leases the Addition from the Landlord as of the Effective Date so that the
combined Gross Rentable Area of the Premises and the Addition shall consist of
approximately 20,274 square feet as of the Effective Date for and during the
remaining balance of the initial Term and throughout the currency of the
Extended Term upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in the Lease
except as otherwise expressly modified in this Agreement.
4. The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it is accepting possession of the
Addition in an "as is" condition as of the Effective Date and that the Landlord
has no responsibility or liability for making any renovations, alterations or
improvements in or to the Addition or the Premises except as set out under
Paragraph 5 below (the "Landlord's Work"). All renovations, alterations or
improvements in or to the Addition or the Premises in excess of the Landlord's
Work are the sole responsibility of the Tenant and shall be undertaken or
completed at the Tenant's expense and strictly in accordance with the provisions
of the Lease and the leasehold design criteria manual to be provided to the
Tenant by the Landlord, however, if the parties determine that the Landlord is
to perform the Tenant's Work on behalf of the Tenant, the leasehold design
criteria manual may not be delivered to the Tenant.
5. Prior to the Tenant's occupancy of the Addition, the Landlord and the Tenant,
both acting reasonably, shall mutually agree, in writing, to the total cost of
work to be performed in the Addition, including the cost of consultant fees,
plans, drawings and permits. The Landlord shall, at its, expense, provide the
Tenant with preliminary space planning services, including one (1) plan and one
(1) revision on all of the Net Rentable Area of the Premises and the Addition
including the corridor leading to the Tenant's exits. The Landlord shall prepare
a budget for the work to be performed as prescribed by the space plan. The
Tenant shall be responsible for a competitive general contractor's fee for
coordinating the Landlord's Work and Tenant's Work. Thereafter, the Landlord
shall complete, at its expense (except as expressly provided below), the
following work in the Addition (the "Landlord's Work"):
(a) the removal of all existing leasehold improvements in the Addition
except for those leasehold improvements that the Tenant has requested
the Landlord leave in the Addition for the use and benefit of the
Tenant therein;
(b) the initial reconstruction of the Addition in accordance with plans
and specifications which have been mutually agreed upon by the
Landlord and the Tenant, acting reasonably, provided, however, the
cost of any Landlord's Work in the aggregate in excess of the sum of
$10.00 per square foot of the Gross Rentable Area of the Premises and
the Addition (the "Tenant Allowance") shall be paid by the Tenant to
the Landlord immediately upon being invoiced for any such excess
amount. Conversely, if the Landlord completes reconstruction work
described under this subparagraph 5(b) for less than the Tenant
Allowance, it shall pay the Tenant the difference within thirty (30)
days of the Tenant's occupancy of the Addition; and
(c) inspection of the Premises and the Addition to ensure that the
exterior window blinds are in good working order and replacement of
any damaged and discoloured ceiling tiles; it being understood that
the Landlord's obligations under this subparagraph 5(c) shall not form
part of or be included in the Tenant Allowance and shall be completed
at the Landlord's sole expense.
6. From and after the date hereof, unless otherwise provided, the Lease is
amended (with all references in the Lease to "Premises" being deemed after the
Effective Date to be the Premises as expanded to include the Addition), as
follows:
(a) The Rentable Area of the Premises from the Effective Date is equal to
20,274 square feet of Gross Rentable Area subject to measurement and
adjustment in accordance with Schedule "A" to the Lease;
2
(b) Schedule "E" to the Lease is amended by adding thereto as Schedule
"E-1", Schedule "A" attached to this Agreement; and
(c) Section 4.4 of the Lease, Adjustment of Additional Rent, is amended by
adding at the end the following:
"The statement delivered by the Landlord to the Tenant pursuant to
this Section 4.4 shall be an audited statement. The Tenant shall also
have the right throughout the Term, at the sole cost of the Tenant, to
review the audited statements of Additional Rent delivered to the
Tenant according to the provisions hereof, upon fourteen (14) days
prior written notice to the Landlord and at reasonable times.
The Landlord estimates that the portion of Taxes payable by the Tenant
pursuant to Section 5.3 will result in a credit to the Tenant in the
amount of $.40 per square foot of the Gross Rentable Area of the
Premises for the calendar year 1999 (excluding the Addition); however,
such amount is only a genuine estimate of the Landlord and is in no
event to be construed as a representation or warranty of the amount
actually payable in the calendar year 1999.
For greater clarity, the Tenant shall continue to have the right to
verify the accuracy of any statements of Additional Rent as set out in
the second paragraph of Section 4.4 of the Lease."
(d) The Basic Rent payable under Section 4.1 of the Lease, is hereby
amended by deleting subparagraph 4.1(c) and the remainder of the
Section and replacing them with the following:
"(c) from April 1, 1997 to and including February 28, 2000, the Tenant
shall, without deduction or right of offset, pay the Landlord as Basic
Rent for the Premises (excluding the Addition), $654,537.00 annually,
payable in advance in equal consecutive monthly instalments of
$54,544.75 on the first day of each and every month during such
period, calculated on the basis that the rental rate for the Premises
is $39.00 per annum per square foot of the Gross Rentable Area of the
Premises, excluding the Addition (16,783 square feet);
(d) from March 1, 2000 to and including March 31, 2007, the Tenant shall
without deduction or right of offset, pay the Landlord as Basic Rent
for the Premises (including the Addition), $494,280.00 annually,
payable in advance in equal consecutive monthly instalments of
$41,190.00 on the first day of each and every month during such
period, calculated on the basis that the rental rate for the Premises
is $24.38 per annum per square foot of the Gross Rentable Area of the
Premises, including the Addition (20,274 square feet);
(e) from April 1, 2007 to and including March 31, 2012, the Tenant shall
without deduction or right of offset, pay the Landlord as Basic Rent
for the Premises (including the Addition), $527,124.00 annually,
payable in advance in equal consecutive monthly instalments of
$43,927.00 on the first day of each and every month during such
period; calculated on the basis that the rental rate for the Premises
is $26.00 per annum per square foot of the Gross Rentable Area of the
Premises, including the Addition (20,274 square feet).
The Basic Rent payable under subparagraphs 4.1(d) and (e) may be
adjusted from time to time, if necessary, to conform with the actual
Gross Rentable Area of the Premises determined in accordance with
Schedule "A" to the Lease."
(e) Sections 18.1, 18.4, 18.5 and 18.8 of the Lease are hereby deleted;
7. (a) Provided that the Tenant pays the Rent as and when due and has not been
in material default of its covenants, obligations and agreements under the Lease
and subject to the first rights of Xxxxxxxxx Management Limited to such space
under its existing lease or an
3
agreement to lease, then, if at any time during the period from the Effective
Date to and including March 31, 2009 (the "First Offer Period") any space on the
28th and 29th floors of the Building becomes available for lease by the Landlord
(the "Leasable Space"), the Landlord shall give the Tenant a second right to
lease the Leasable Space by providing notice of the availability of the Leasable
Space and the terms and conditions upon which it is prepared to lease the
Leasable Space to the Tenant (the "Landlord's Notice"). The Landlord's Notice
shall specify the location and Gross Rentable Area of the Leasable Space and the
Landlord's calculation of the Basic Rent for the Leasable Space which shall be
based on the then current market rent for comparably sized, located and improved
premises in similar buildings in the area (the "Landlord's Notice"), provided
that if the parties are unable to agree as to such Basic Rent by no later than
thirty (30) days after the Tenant's receipt of the Landlord's Notice then the
Basic Rent for the Leasable Space shall be determined by arbitration in
accordance with the Lease and Section 16.2 of the Lease shall be deemed to
include references to this Section. The Tenant may elect, by giving written
notice to the Landlord within ten (10) business days after receipt of the
Landlord's Notice, whether or not it accepts the terms and conditions set out in
the Landlord's Notice and if it so elects, then there shall be a binding
agreement to lease between the parties on the terms and conditions set out in
the Landlord's Notice. For greater clarity, if at any time Xxxxxxxxx Management
Limited ceases to have or waives first rights to the 28th and 29th floors of the
Building, then the Tenant shall have the first right to the Leasable Space.
Provided that there shall be no cost to the Landlord, the Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts during the First Offer Period to assist the Tenant in
obtaining the first right to the Leasable Space.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following
provisions shall apply to any Leasable Space offered to the Tenant: (i) the Term
for the Leasable Space shall be coterminous with the Term for the Premises, as
extended by this Agreement; (ii) if the Tenant elects to lease the Leasable
Space during the first thirty (30) months of the Extended Term, then the Basic
Rent set out in the Landlord's Notice shall be equal to the annual Basic Rent
rates for the balance of the Premises in accordance with this Agreement,
adjusted to take into consideration the Tenant Allowance referred to in
paragraph 5(b) of this Agreement, on a pro-rated basis based on the Extended
Term remaining as of the date the Tenant commences to lease the Leasable Space,
so that the net effective rate, based on a nine percent (9%) annual discount
rate compounded monthly, is $22.00 per square foot of the Gross Rentable Area of
the Leasable Space; (iii) the exact size and location of the Leasable Space,
shall be determined by both parties, acting reasonably, but shall in no event be
less than 5,000 square feet of Gross Rentable Area on any floor of the Building,
unless the only Leasable Area then available for lease is less than 5,000 square
feet of Gross Rentable Area in which case the Tenant may elect to lease same in
accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions; (iv) the Tenant's leasing of
the Leasable Space shall in no event leave the Landlord with less than 1,000
square feet of Gross Rentable Area available for lease on the floor of the
Building on which the Leasable Space is located or with insufficient fire
corridor space remaining on the floor; (v) the Term of the Leasable Space shall
commence thirty (30) days following the date the Leasable Space is made
available to the Tenant; (vi) all of the other terms and conditions of the Lease
shall apply to the Leasable Space except as expressly provided herein; and (vii)
the Tenant shall execute and deliver an addendum to the Lease incorporating the
terms and conditions set out in the Landlord's Notice, in a form acceptable to
the Landlord and the Tenant, acting reasonably, as soon as possible after
delivery thereof by the Landlord to the Tenant. If the Tenant does not so elect
to lease the Leasable Space for which it has received the Landlord's Notice
within the time and in the manner set out in paragraph 7(a) above, then, in
respect of such Leasable Space the Landlord shall be entitled to lease the
Leasable Space to anyone else, without making any further offer to the Tenant,
except that the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply to the 28th
and 29th floors of the Building, including the Leasable Space for which it has
received the Landlord's Notice when it again becomes available for leasing, for
the remainder of the First Offer Period.
8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or this
Agreement and provided this Agreement has been fully executed by the parties
hereto, gross Rent shall not accrue or be payable for the months of November and
December in the 1999 calender year and any amounts paid or prepaid theretofore
on account of any Rent payable for said months shall be reimbursed by the
Landlord to the Tenant. The Tenant shall, however, continue to pay for any
parking charges payable under this Lease during such period and throughout the
Term, as extended by this Agreement.
If the Tenant is unable to carry on business in the Addition by March 1,
2000, in a similar manner to that conducted by the Tenant in the balance of the
Premises as a result of any delay in
4
the Landlord's Work being completed, and such delay is not occasioned by the
Tenant or those for whom it is in law responsible, then for each week of delay
occasioned by the Landlord or those for whom it is in law responsible, the
Tenant shall be provided with two weeks' gross free rent on the Addition.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease or this Agreement to the
contrary, for greater certainty, it is understood and agreed that the Tenant
shall have the benefit of Section 18.8 of the Lease up to the Effective Date, so
that the Basic Rent payable in respect of January and February of 2000 shall be
subject to the annual abatement of Thirteen Dollars ($13.00) per square foot of
the Gross Rentable Area of the Premises.
9. The Tenant shall be entitled to use approximately 200 square feet of floor
area in the Building for storage space (the "Storage Area") in a location within
the Building to be designated by the Landlord, at no cost to the Tenant. The
Storage Area shall be used solely for the purpose of the storage of those items
permitted to be used by the Tenant pursuant to the Lease. These items shall not
be perishable, pose any danger of explosion, leakage or fire or contain any
toxic or hazardous substances or materials. The Landlord reserves the right to
prohibit the storage of various items or goods at its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the Landlord shall have
the right at any time during the Extended Term, to relocate the Storage Area on
one occasion only. Except as expressly set out to the contrary in this
paragraph, all of the terms and conditions under this Lease applicable to the
Premises shall apply to the Storage Area, mutatis mutandis.
10. Provided (a) this Agreement has been fully executed, (b) the Tenant has
provided the Landlord with certificates of insurance evidencing that the Tenant
has taken out insurance covering the Addition as more fully set out in the
Lease, (c) the Landlord has obtained possession of the Addition from the
existing Tenant, and (d) the Landlord's Work has been substantially completed,
then the Tenant may have possession of the Addition on or before January 27,
2000 for the purposes of constructing the Tenant's leasehold improvements, and
installing furniture, equipment, and the necessary cabling connections in the
Addition for the conduct of the Tenant's business. The Tenant will not be
required to pay any Basic Rent, the Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating
Costs and the Tenant's contribution to Taxes (in respect of the Addition only)
during such period of early occupancy but will be bound by all other terms,
covenants and provisions of the Lease as though the Effective Date had occurred
. For greater clarity, the Tenant will be responsible for the payment of all
Rennin respect of the balance of the Premises throughout such period of early
occupancy and the Extended Term, including the payment of any parking charges.
11. The parties confirm that in all other respects, the terms, covenants and
conditions of the Lease remain unchanged and in full force and effect except as
modified by this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that all terms and
expressions used in this Agreement, unless a contrary intention is expressed
herein, have the same meaning as they have in the Lease. On and after the date
of this Agreement, each reference to the Lease shall mean and be a reference to
the Lease, as amended by this Agreement.
12. The Indemnifier, acknowledging the consideration aforesaid, hereby confirms
that its indemnity pursuant to Section 18.2 of the Lease and the Lease Amending
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, with respect to the Lease as
amended by this Agreement.
13. The Tenant acknowledges that O&Y Enterprise Commercial Management has the
authority to execute this Agreement for and on behalf of, in the name of and
with the authority of the Landlord and that the covenants and agreements of the
Landlord herein are obligations of the Landlord and its successors and assigns
only, and are not obligations personal to or enforceable against O&Y Enterprise
Commercial Management in its own right.
14. For greater clarity, the Tenant shall have the right to 14 parking spaces
set out in Section 18.3 of the Lease. Subject to space availability, the Tenant
shall have the right to two additional parking spaces on a month to month basis.
In order to accommodate the Tenant, the Landlord agrees to terminate up to two
(2) available month to month parking spaces held by any party who is not a
tenant of the Building.
15. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties
hereto, and their respective successors and assigns.

statement, either the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord any amount by which the
amount found payable by the Tenant with respect to such fiscal period exceeds
the aggregate of the monthly payments made by it on
7
account thereof or the Landlord shall pay to the Tenant any amount by which the
amount found payable as aforesaid is less than the aggregate of such monthly
payments.

The Tenant shall comply with any measures the Landlord or any legislative
authority may from time to time introduce to conserve or to reduce consumption
of energy or to reduce or control other Operating Costs or pay as Additional
Rent the cost, to be estimated by the Landlord acting reasonably, of the
additional energy consumed by reason of such non-compliance. The Tenant shall
also convert to whatever system or units of measurement of energy consumption
the Landlord may from time to time adopt.

The Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the business office purposes and
the Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other
purpose.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Tenant shall not use or
permit the Premises to be used such that the number of persons entering the
Premises is likely to exceed that of ordinary business offices, other than on a
temporary basis.
No part of the Premises shall be used by or for:
(a) a bank, trust company or deposit taking institution; or

7.3 No Overloading of Section or Common Use Equipment:
-------------------------------------------------
The Tenant shall not permit or allow any overloading of the floors of the
Premises or the bringing into any part of the Premises of any articles or

structure of the Premises or the Building. The Tenant shall not permit or allow
anything that might result in any overloading of any of the Common Use
Equipment.
7.4 Insurance Cancellation or Increase:
----------------------------------
The Tenant shall not do or omit to do or permit to be done or omitted to be done
in the Premises anything which would cause any policy of insurance on the
Development to be subject to cancellation or non-renewal or which would cause an
increase in the cost of any insurance which the Landlord is obligated by this
Lease to maintain. Upon any default by the Tenant which would result in
cancellation or non-renewal or an increased cost which the Tenant does not pay,
the Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease on 10 days' written notice
to the Tenant specifying such default, if such default is not remedied within
such 10 day period. Without limiting the foregoing, the Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord, forthwith within 10 days of written demand, the amount of any such
increase in cost.
If any insurance policy is cancelled or threatened by the insurer to be
cancelled or the coverage thereunder is materially altered in any way because of
the use or occupation of the Premises by the Tenant or by any person for whom
the Tenant is in law responsible, and if the Tenant fails to remedy the
condition giving rise to the cancellation, threatened cancellation or alteration
in coverage within 48 hours (or such lesser period as the Landlord acting
reasonably may determine, having regard to the urgency of the situation), the
Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), without further notice or any
liability to the Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises, enter the
Premises and attempt to remedy such condition or obtain or attempt to obtain
insurance coverage in replacement of the coverage cancelled, threatened to be
cancelled or altered in coverage; and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord,,
forthwith upon demand, the cost thereof.
7.5 Observance of Law by Landlord and Tenant:
----------------------------------------
(a) The Landlord shall promptly comply with and conform to the requirements of
every applicable statute, law, by-law, regulation, ordinance and order at any
time or from time to time in force during the Term affecting the Development
other than to those matters which are the obligation of the Tenant as provided
in subsection (b). Such compliance shall be at the Landlord's expense except
insofar as the expense is included in Operating Costs.
(b) The Tenant shall, at its expense, promptly comply with and conform to the
requirements of every applicable statute, law, by-law, regulation, ordinance and
order at any time or from time to time in force during the Term affecting the
Tenant's use of the Premises or any part thereof and/or the business carried on
therein and/or the Leasehold Improvements, trade fixtures, furniture, machinery,
equipment and other facilities located in the Premises and/or any other part of
the Development affected by the Tenant's actions in the Premises.
7.6 Rules and Regulations:
---------------------
The Tenant shall observe and perform, and shall cause its employees, agents,
invitees and others over whom the Tenant can reasonably be expected to exercise
control to observe and perform the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as
Schedule D and such other rules and regulations or amendments as may be made
from time to time by the Landlord acting reasonably and of which the Tenant has
written notice.
The Tenant acknowledges that the Rules and Regulations, as from time to time
amended or replaced, are not necessarily of uniform application but may be
waived in whole or in part in respect of other tenants without affecting their
enforceability with respect to the Tenant and the Premises, and may be waived in
whole or in part with respect to the Premises without waiving them as to future
application to the Premises, and the imposition of such Rules and Regulations
shall not create or imply any obligation of the Landlord to enforce them, but
the Landlord shall use its best efforts not to enforce the rules and regulations
among the tenants of the Building in a discriminatory or arbitrary fashion.
13
In any conflict between a provision of this Lease and any of the Rules and
Regulations, the provision of this Lease shall govern.
7.7 Signs:
-----
The Tenant shall not erect any sign or advertising material or inscribe anything
upon any part of the exterior of the Building, or upon the exterior or interior
surfaces of any exterior window or door to the Premises or upon the exterior of
any demising walls, or upon any Common Facilities of the Building, except the
usual tenant identification on the directory board as designated by the Landlord
and except for a sign on the door leading to the Premises which sign shall be
consented to by the Landlord, acting reasonably.
7.8 Name of Development:

from time to time by the Landlord.
ARTICLE 8 ALTERATIONS
8.1 Alterations by Tenant:
---------------------
(a) The Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of the Landlord, not to be
unreasonably withheld, make, erect, alter or install any Leasehold Improvements
or other alterations or installations other than decorations, alterations and
installations of a minor nature to the Premises (the "Work").
(b) If the Tenant wishes to do any Work requiring consent, the Tenant shall
apply for the Landlord's consent and furnish such plans, specifications and
designs as shall be reasonably necessary to fully describe the Work. The
Landlord's consent thereto shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided that, without limitation, any refusal to grant consent based on grounds
that such Work is not in compliance with the Building Standard or that the
Tenant has not posted reasonable security with the Landlord if required by the
Landlord, acting reasonably, shall be conclusively deemed not to be an
unreasonable withholding of consent.
(c) Subject to the Landlord's consent having been obtained and the Landlord's
reasonable requirements (including the posting of reasonable security, if
requested) being met, the Landlord recognizes the right of the Tenant to install
such interior partitions and other Leasehold Improvements as are necessary or
appropriate to its use and occupancy of the Premises.
(d) Any Work shall, if the Landlord so elects, be performed by employees or
contractors who have been designated by the Landlord, acting reasonably, and who
have contracted directly with the Tenant and agreed to carry out such Work in a
good and workmanlike manner and at a cost to the Tenant which is competitive
when compared with the amounts which would be charged by reputable contractors
performing the same work. In the absence of any such election by the Landlord,
such Work may be performed by contractors retained by the Tenant pursuant to
written contracts which have been approved by the Landlord (such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and are subject to all reasonable
conditions which the Landlord imposes. In either event, the Landlord shall have
the right to inspect such Work and require any Work not being properly done to
be corrected, and to approve on a reasonable basis (which may include
considerations involving trade union affiliations or the lack of them and work
jurisdiction, where in the opinion of the Landlord there is a risk of labour
disputes which might adversely affect the Landlord) the contractors, tradesmen
or the Tenant's own employees (as the case may be) employed by the Tenant in
connection therewith.
(e) The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, within 30 days after the receipt of
the Landlord's invoice, the Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred
in examining and approving the Tenant's plans, specifications and designs and in
inspecting the Work and any additional expenses actually incurred by the
Landlord in connection with such Work together with a coordination and
supervision fee equal to 10% of the total cost to the Tenant of such Work.
(f) Following completion of any Work, the Tenant shall provide to the Landlord a
complete set of updated drawings of the Premises including without limitation
all electrical, mechanical and architectural drawings as reasonably necessary to
show what Work has been completed.
14
Upon written request of the Landlord, the Tenant shall provide the Landlord with
a complete set of drawings of the Premises in its possession.
8.2 Air-Balancing:
-------------
The Tenant agrees that it will, at the commencement of the Term and periodically
throughout the Term including, without limitation, whenever any alterations are
made to the Premises affecting the same, balance the air movement in the
Premises at the Tenant's expense and for this purpose use the air-balancer
designated by the Landlord.
8.3 No Financing by Tenant of Leasehold Improvements:
------------------------------------------------
The Tenant shall not create any lien, mortgage, charge, conditional sale
agreement or other encumbrance in respect of its Leasehold Improvements, nor
shall the Tenant take any action as a consequence of which any such prohibited
lien, mortgage, charge, conditional sale agreement or other encumbrance would
attach to the Premises or to the Development.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the Tenant may,
without the Landlord's consent but upon prior written notice to the Landlord,
mortgage or charge its trade fixtures to its lenders during the Term of this
Lease.
8.4 Liens:
-----
(a) In connection with the making, erection, installation or alteration of
Leasehold Improvements and trade fixtures and all other work or installations or
alterations made by or for the Tenant in the Premises, the Tenant shall comply
with every applicable statute, law, by-law, regulation, ordinance and order
affecting the same and affecting the Development as a result of the actions of
the Tenant including, without limitation, the Construction Lien Act of Ontario,
and any other statutes from time to time applicable thereto (including any
provision requiring or enabling the retention by way of holdback of portions of
any sums payable) and, except as to any such holdback, shall promptly pay all
accounts relating thereto.
(b) Whenever any construction or other lien for work, labour, services or
materials supplied to or for the Tenant or for the cost of which the Tenant may
be in any way liable or claims therefor shall arise or be filed or any
prohibited mortgage, charge, conditional sale agreement or other encumbrance
shall attach other than such initial work, installations or alterations done by
the Landlord or its employees or contractors on the Tenant's behalf and if not
caused by the Tenant's default, the Tenant shall within 10 days after receipt of
notice thereof procure and register the discharge thereof, including any
certificate of action registered in respect of any lien, by payment or in such
other manner as may be required or permitted by law, and failing which the
Landlord may make any payments into court required to procure and register the
discharge of any such liens or encumbrances, including any certificate of action
registered in respect of any lien, and shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the
Tenant as provided in section 15.3, and its right to reimbursement shall not be
affected or impaired if the Tenant shall then or subsequently establish or claim
that any lien or encumbrance so discharged was without merit or excessive or
subject to any abatement, set-off or defence but the Landlord shall co-operate
with the Tenant with respect to obtaining such discharge and any claim for
reimbursement from the lien holder.
(c) The Landlord and the Tenant agree that any work done in the Premises during
the Term by or on behalf of the Tenant shall not be done and shall be deemed not
to have been done at the request of the Landlord, other than the Work which is
required to be performed by the Landlord prior to the commencement of the Term
and in respect of the Adjacent Space as provided in Section 18.4.
(d) The Landlord will ensure that no liability will attach to the Tenant as a
result of any work performed by the Landlord as set out in subsection (c) above,
unless caused by the actions or omissions of the Tenant or those for whom it is
in law responsible.
8.5 Alterations by Landlord:
-----------------------
The Landlord may from time to time at its own expense make alterations to the
Building or any part thereof including the Premises and alterations to or
relocations of the Common Facilities provided that:
15
(a) the Premises and the Tenant's use and enjoyment thereof and
access thereto shall not be altered or interfered with in any material
way;
(b) the Common Facilities shall not be altered or relocated so as to
materially reduce their convenience to the Tenant;
(c) access and services to or benefiting the Premises shall not be reduced
or interrupted (except to the minimum extent which is temporary,
reasonable and unavoidable during the making of repairs or renovations);
and
(d) any alteration shall be such that a reasonably prudent owner of the
Development would make having regard to the type and age of the
Development.
8.6 Prohibition Re Certain Materials:
--------------------------------
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the Tenant agrees that it
will not use or permit the use of any asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls or
radon (collectively "Hazardous Materials") in any construction of the Leasehold
Improvements in the Premises or in any use of the Premises;
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the Landlord agrees that,
provided it is in its control, it will not use or knowingly permit the use of
Hazardous Materials in any construction of the Building or any Leasehold
Improvements of premises in the Development or in any use of premises in the
Development.

16
9.5 Termination or Abatement after Damage:
-------------------------------------
(a) If and whenever the Premises are destroyed or damaged by any cause to the
extent that, in the Landlord's architect's reasonable opinion to be given in
writing to the Tenant within 60 days after the occurrence of such damage or
destruction, they are unable to be repaired or rebuilt within 180 days after
such destruction or damage, then either the Landlord or the Tenant may terminate
this Lease by notice to the other, to be given within 30 days after the giving
of the Landlord's architect's written opinion above referred to, and the Tenant
shall immediately thereupon surrender the Premises and this Lease to the
Landlord and Rent shall be apportioned to the date of such destruction or damage
(subject to the payment of Rent from the date of such destruction or damage to
the date of surrender in the same proportion that the part of the Net Rentable
Area of the Premises fit for occupancy by the Tenant until such surrender is of
the total Net Rentable Area of the Premises).
(b) If and whenever all or any portion of the Building is destroyed or damaged
by reason of any cause (whether or not such portion includes all or any part of
the Premises) to such extent that:
(i) in the Landlord's architect's reasonable opinion to be given to the
Tenant in writing within 60 days after the occurrence of such damage
or destruction, it is unable to be repaired or rebuilt within 180 days
after such destruction or damage; or
(ii) the estimated cost (as estimated by the Landlord's architect, acting
reasonably) of repairing or rebuilding the Development exceeds the
proceeds of insurance available to the Landlord for such purpose (or
which would have been available if the Landlord had insured in
compliance with section 10.1);
the Landlord, acting reasonably, may terminate this Lease upon not less than 30
days' prior written notice to the Tenant, given within 60 days after the
happening of such destruction or damage, and the Tenant shall immediately
thereupon surrender the Premises and this Lease to the Landlord; and
(iii) if and to the extent that such destruction or damage has rendered the
Premises in whole or in part unfit for occupancy by the Tenant, Rent
shall xxxxx from the date of such destruction or damage to the date of
surrender in the same proportion that the part of the Net Rentable
Area of the Premises unfit for occupancy is of the total Net Rentable
Area of the Premises; and
(iv) otherwise Rent shall be apportioned to the date of surrender.
(c) If and whenever the Premises are destroyed or damaged by reason of any cause
and this Lease shall not have been terminated, the Landlord shall, with all
reasonable diligence and dispatch, make the repairs and replacements specified
in subsections 9.1(a), (b) and (c) and the Tenant shall, with all reasonable
diligence and in compliance with section 8.1, make all repairs to the Premises
specified in section 9.2 and complete the Premises for occupancy for the purpose
described in section 7.1 and in compliance with subsection 7.5(b). If as a
result of any destruction or damage to the Premises which is not the fault of
the Tenant or those for whom it is in law responsible and which does not consist
of merely a temporary interruption of or interference with any utility, service
or access, the Premises are rendered in whole or in part unfit for occupancy by
the Tenant or if, for any reason is inaccessible, then during the period
commencing on the occurrence of such destruction or damage and ending upon the
earlier of:
(i) the date when both the repairs to the Premises which the Landlord is
obligated to make as aforesaid are completed sufficiently to enable
the Tenant to commence its repairs, and the Tenant has been allowed a
reasonable period of time which is sufficient for the completion by it
of the repairs it is obligated to make as aforesaid with due diligence
and access to the Premises has been restored; and
(ii) the date upon which no insurance proceeds are available to the
Landlord under its loss of rental income insurance coverage in respect
of the Premises (other than by reason of the Landlord not carrying the
insurance as set out in section 10.1);
17
Rent shall from time to time xxxxx in the same proportion that the part of the
Net Rentable Area of the Premises from time to time rendered unfit for such
occupancy by reason of such destruction or damage is of the total Net Rentable
Area of the Premises.
9.6 No claim by Tenant:
------------------
Except in respect of abatement of Rent as provided for in this Article, no claim
for compensation or damages, direct or indirect shall be made by the Tenant by
reason of the loss of use, inconvenience or otherwise arising from the necessity
of repairing any portion of the Development however the necessity may arise so
long as any such repair to be carried out by the Landlord is carried out with
reasonable diligence and dispatch.
9.7 Tenant to Leave Premises in Good Repair:
---------------------------------------
The Tenant shall leave the Premises and (subject to section 3.5) the Leasehold
Improvements, at the expiration or other termination of the Term, in the
condition and repair required of the Tenant under section 9.2.
ARTICLE 10 INSURANCE AND LIABILITY
10.1 Landlord's Insurance:
--------------------
Subject to its general availability for developments of a similar nature, the
Landlord shall effect and maintain during the Term:
(a) "all risks" insurance which shall insure the Development against loss
or damage by perils now or hereafter from time to time embraced by or
defined in a standard all risks insurance policy;
(b) boiler and machinery insurance on objects defined in a standard
comprehensive boiler and machinery policy against accidents as defined
therein;
(c) loss of rental income insurance in an amount sufficient to replace all
Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable under the provisions of this Lease
for an indemnity period of a reasonable period of time;
(d) comprehensive general liability insurance covering claims for personal
injury and property damage arising out of all operations in connection
with the management and administration of the Development; and
(e) such other coverage, or increases in the amount of coverage, as the
Landlord may consider necessary, acting reasonably.
For greater certainty, the Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord is not
obligated to insure Leasehold Improvements in the Premises except to the extent
herein specifically required. The insurance to be maintained by the Landlord
shall be that which would be carried by reasonably prudent owners of properties
similar to the Development, all as from time to time determined by insurance
advisers selected by the Landlord, and whose written opinion shall be
conclusive. The Landlord shall obtain, at the Tenant's expense, a waiver by its
insurers of any rights of subrogation or indemnity or any other claim to which
such insurers might otherwise be entitled against the Tenant or those for whom
it is in law responsible.
10.2 Tenant's Insurance:
------------------
The Tenant shall, at its own expense, take out and keep in force during the
Term:
(a) comprehensive insurance of the type commonly called general public
liability, which shall include coverage for personal injury, contractual
liability, tenant's legal liability, non-owned automobile liability,
bodily injury, death and property damage, all on an occurrence basis with
respect to the business carried on in the Premises and the Tenant's use
and occupancy of the Premises and its use of the Common Facilities or of
any other part of the Building, with coverage for any one occurrence or
claim of not less than $5,000,000 or such other amount as the Landlord may
from time to time reasonably require upon not less than 30 days' notice at
any time during the Term, which insurance
18
shall protect the Landlord in respect of claims as if the Landlord were
separately insured and which insurance shall contain a severability of
interest provision and, a crossliability provision;
(b) insurance in respect of fire and such other perils as are from time to
time defined in the usual extended coverage endorsement covering the
Leasehold Improvements, trade fixtures, and the furniture and equipment in
the Premises for not less than the full replacement cost thereof, and
which insurance shall provide that any proceeds recoverable with respect
to Leasehold Improvements shall be payable to the Landlord (but the
Landlord agrees to make available such proceeds toward the repair or
replacement of the insured property if this Lease is not terminated
pursuant to any other provisions hereof); and
(c) insurance against such other perils and in such amounts as the
Landlord may from time to time reasonably require upon not less than 60
days' notice, such requirement to be made on the basis that the required
insurance is customary at the time in the City of Toronto for tenants of
buildings similar to the Building.
10.3 Form of Tenant's Insurance:
--------------------------
All insurance required to be maintained by the Tenant hereunder shall be on
terms and with insurers to which the Landlord has no reasonable objection. Each
property damage policy shall contain a waiver by the insurer of any rights of
subrogation or indemnity or any other claim to which the insurer might otherwise
be entitled against the Landlord or those for whom it is in law responsible
shall show the Landlord and its agents and employees as additional insureds and
shall also contain an undertaking by the insurer that no material change adverse
to the Landlord or the Tenant will be made and the policy will not lapse or be
cancelled or not be renewed, except after not less than 30 days' prior written
notice to the Landlord of the intended change, lapse, cancellation or
non-renewal. The Tenant shall furnish to the Landlord certificates as to the
insurance from time to time effected by the Tenant and its renewal or
continuation in force, together with evidence as to the method of determination
of full replacement cost of the Tenant's Leasehold Improvements, trade fixtures,
furniture and equipment. If the Landlord reasonably concludes that the full
replacement cost has been underestimated, the Tenant shall forthwith arrange for
any consequent increase in coverage required under section 10.2. If the Tenant
fails to take out, renew or keep in force such insurance, or if the certificates
submitted to the Landlord pursuant to the preceding sentence are unacceptable to
the Landlord, acting reasonably (or no such certificates are submitted within a
reasonable period after request therefor by the Landlord), then the Landlord may
give to the Tenant notice requiring compliance with this section and specifying
the respects in which the Tenant is not then in compliance with this section. If
the Tenant does not, within 72 hours (or such lesser period as the Landlord may
reasonably require having regard to the urgency of the situation), provide
appropriate evidence of compliance with this section the Landlord may (but shall
not be obligated to) obtain some or all of the additional coverage or other
insurance which the Tenant shall have failed to obtain, without prejudice to any
other rights of the Landlord under this Lease or otherwise, and the Tenant shall
pay all premiums and other costs incurred by the Landlord forthwith upon demand.
If the Landlord receives any proceeds of insurance from the Tenant's insurers,
it shall release such amounts less any monetary defaults forthwith to the Tenant
in order that the Tenant may comply with its obligations under this Lease.
10.4 Release of Landlord by Tenant:
-----------------------------
The Tenant agrees that the Landlord and those for whom the Landlord is at law
responsible shall not be liable to any extent for any personal injury or death
of, or loss or damage to any property belonging to the Tenant or its employees,
invitees or licensees or any other person in, on or about the Development unless
resulting from the actual negligence of the Landlord or those for whom it is in
law responsible (but only to the extent of such actual negligence) or unless
resulting from a breach of the obligations of the Landlord under this Lease.
Subject to the foregoing, in no event shall the Landlord be liable for:
(a) any damage (other than Insured Damage) to the Tenant or those for whom
the Tenant is in law responsible or to its property or the Premises which
is caused by steam, water, rain or snow which may leak into, issue or flow
from any part of the Development
19
or from the pipes or plumbing works, including the sprinkler system,
thereof, or from any other place or quarter, or for any damage to the
Tenant or those for whom the Tenant is in law responsible or to its
property or the Premises caused by or attributable to the condition or
arrangement of any electric or other wiring or of sprinkler heads, or for
any damage caused by anything done or omitted by any other tenant;
(b) any act or omission (including theft, malfeasance or negligence) on
the part of any agent, contractor or person from time to time employed by
it to perform janitorial services, security services, supervision or any
other work in or about the Premises or the Development;
(c) loss or damage, however caused, to money, securities, negotiable
instruments, papers or other valuables of the Tenant; or
(d) loss or damage for which the Tenant is required to carry insurance.
In addition, the Tenant releases the Landlord and those for whom the Landlord is
at law responsible from all claims or liabilities in respect of damage required
to be insured against by the Tenant.
10.5 Release of Tenant by Landlord:
-----------------------------
The Landlord hereby releases the Tenant and those for whom the Tenant is at law
responsible from all claims or liabilities in respect of any damage which is
Insured Damage.
10.6 Indemnity of Landlord by Tenant:
-------------------------------
Except as provided in sections 10.4 and 10.5 or elsewhere in this Lease, the
Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless the Landlord against and from any and
all expenses, costs, damages, suits, actions or liabilities arising or growing
out of any default by the Tenant hereunder, and from all claims and demands of
every kind and nature made by any person or persons to or against the Landlord
and/or its agent, for all and every manner of costs, damages or expenses
incurred by or injury or damage to such person or persons or his, her or their
property, which claims or demands may arise howsoever out of the use and
occupation of the Premises by the Tenant or any subtenant or occupant authorized
by the Tenant or by any assignee or sublessee thereof or any of the
above-mentioned or his, her or their servants, agents, assistants, employees,
invitees or other persons entering into the Building to go to the Premises or
any part thereof, and from all reasonable costs, counsel fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in or about any such claim or any action or proceeding
brought thereon.

(a) The Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the
Premises or in any way charge, encumber or pledge this Lease or its interest
therein without the consent of the Landlord which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Without limitation, it shall constitute reasonable grounds for any
withholding of consent by the Landlord that, in the Landlord's reasonable
judgment, (i) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have a satisfactory
financial condition having regard to the obligations which it will assume as
assignee or subtenant, taking into consideration the indemnity provided in
Section 18.2, or (ii) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a tenant or

are not compatible with the other businesses which are being carried on by
tenants in the Development, in its reasonable opinion, or (v) where the return
with respect to Rent to the Tenant on any proposed assignment or subletting is
greater than the amounts payable by the Tenant hereunder and the Tenant has not
agreed to pay such excess to the Landlord. The Landlord shall be entitled to
withhold consent to assign or sublet arbitrarily where it exercises its right to
termination pursuant to Section 11.2.
20
(b) Without limitation, the Tenant shall for purposes of this section be
considered to have assigned or sublet in any case where it permits the Premises
or any portion thereof to be occupied by a person or persons other than the
Tenant, its employees and others engaged in carrying on the business of the
Tenant, whether pursuant to assignment, subletting, license or other right, and
shall also include any case where any of the foregoing occurs by operation of
law.

corporation are issued or transferred, whether by operation of law or otherwise,
so as to result in a change in the effective control of such corporation then,
and so often as such a change of control shall occur, the Tenant shall notify
the Landlord in writing and the provisions of this section and section 11.2
shall apply, mutatis mutandis.
(d) The Landlord shall also have the right of approval of any marketing of space
by the Tenant.
(e) If the Landlord's consent is given, the Tenant shall assign or sublet, as
the case may be, but only upon the terms set out in the offer, if any, submitted
to the Landlord pursuant to section 11.2 and not otherwise. Such assignment or
subletting shall occur within 90 days after the Tenant's request for consent is
consented to and only upon any assignee entering into an agreement directly with

proviso, condition and agreement in this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be
performed, observed and kept, including payment of Rent and whereby the Tenant
and the Related Corporation or the Partnership, as the case may be, agree to
remain related to one another, a breach of which agreement would constitute a
breach of this Lease.
(g) The Landlord acknowledges that the Premises, or a portion thereof, may be
occupied by the Partnership or by consultants or legal contractors connected
with the Partnership and consents thereto.
(h) All reasonable costs of the Landlord incurred with respect to any assignment

11.2 Landlord's Rights of Cancellation:
---------------------------------
Subject to the provisions of section 11.1, the Tenant shall not assign this
Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises unless:
(a) if a written offer exists to take an assignment or sublease which is
not inconsistent with, and the acceptance of which would not breach, any
provisions of this Lease if this section is complied with and which the
Tenant has determined to accept subject to this section being complied
with, it shall have delivered it to the Landlord, and
(b) it shall have requested and obtained the consent in writing of
the Landlord thereto.
Any request for such consent shall be in writing and accompanied by a true copy
of any offer, and the Tenant shall furnish to the Landlord all information in
the Tenant's possession or any additional information reasonably requested by
the Landlord, as to the responsibility, reputation,
21
financial standing and business of the proposed assignee or sublessee. Within 15
days after the receipt by the Landlord of such request for consent and of all
information which the Landlord shall have requested hereunder (and if no such
information has been requested, within 15 days after receipt of such request for
consent), the Landlord shall have the right upon notice to the Tenant, if the
request is to assign this Lease or sublet the whole of the Premises, to
terminate this Lease or, if the request is to sublet a part of the Premises
only, to delete from the Lease such part of the Premises as are requested to be
sublet, in each case as of a date of the proposed assigning or subletting, as
the case may be or shall give its consent or withhold it in accordance with
Section 11.1. In the event the Landlord elects to terminate or delete as set out
above, the Tenant shall surrender the whole or part, as the case may be, of the
Premises in accordance with such notice and Rent shall be apportioned and paid
to the date of surrender and, if a part only of the Premises is surrendered,
Rent shall thereafter xxxxx proportionately.
If the Landlord elects to terminate or delete, as the case may be, the Tenant

days after the Landlord's notice of election, in which event the Landlord's
notice of election shall be null and void and the Tenant shall not proceed with
the assignment or subletting for which such consent was requested.
11.3 Continuing Obligations of Tenant:
--------------------------------
(a) No assignment or subletting shall release or relieve the Tenant from any of
its obligations hereunder, save as to any portion of the Premises surrendered by
the Tenant at the request of the Landlord in accordance with Section 11.2.
(b) No consent by the Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall be
construed to mean that the Landlord has consented or will consent to any further
assignment or subletting which shall remain subject to the provisions of this
Article.
11.4 Dealings by Landlord:
--------------------
The Landlord may sell, transfer, charge, encumber or otherwise deal with the

every case without the consent of the Tenant, and without restriction. To the
extent that any purchaser or transferee from the Landlord has become bound by
the covenants and obligations of the Landlord under this Lease, the Landlord
shall, without further written agreement, be freed and relieved of liability
with respect to such covenants and obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dealings by the Landlord shall restrict the

bonds, all indentures supplemental thereto or any other instruments of
financing, refinancing or collateral financing) which may now or hereafter
affect the Development, or any part thereof, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. The Tenant agrees to
execute promptly any certificate or instrument in confirmation of such
subordination and will, if requested, attorn to such mortgagee or chargee and
the Tenant hereby constitutes the Landlord its agent and attorney for the
purpose of executing any such certificate or instrument if it does not execute
such certificate or instrument within ten days of a written request therefor
from the Landlord.
The Landlord shall obtain a non-disturbance agreement, from any person to whom
the Landlord requests the Tenant's subordinate its interest or attorn at the
commencement of the Lease, and thereafter will use its best efforts to obtain
such an agreement from any persons to whom the Landlord subsequently requests
the Tenant to subordinate its interest or attorn. Any and all costs incurred by
the Landlord in obtaining such non-disturbance agreements shall be at the sole
expense of the Tenant.

obligations hereunder and such default can be remedied by the Tenant but

(ii) if the default could not reasonably be remedied within 30 days after
notice and provided the Tenant has commenced to remedy such failure

15.2 Remedies by Landlord:

option:
(a) provide, by notice to the Tenant, that the current month's Rent and
Rent for the next ensuing three months shall thereupon become immediately
due and payable; and/or
(b) terminate this Lease and re-enter and take possession of the Premises;
and/or
(c) enter the Premises as agent of the Tenant, either by force or

Tenant, as and when rent is received therefor, an amount equal to (i) the
lesser of (1) the amount received by the Landlord for any period and (2)
the amount that would have been payable by the Tenant under this Lease for
the same period, less (ii) 10% of such sum in (i) as an administration fee
to the Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basic Rent abatement in Section 18.8 shall
apply to reduce Rent owing by the Tenant under this Section 15.2 unless the
present value payment has been made by the Landlord pursuant to Section 18.8 and
such section has been deleted in accordance with the provisions of Section 18.8.
15.3 Additional Self-help Remedy of Landlord:

In addition to all other remedies the Landlord may have by this Lease, at law or

event the cost of performing any of such obligations plus an administrative
charge of 15% of such cost shall be payable by the Tenant to the Landlord
forthwith on demand together with interest at the Rate of Interest from the date
of the performance of any of such obligations by the Landlord to the date of
payment by the Tenant.

-----------
The Tenant hereby agrees to pay to the Landlord, within 15 days after demand,

remedies are not to be interpreted as excluding any other or additional rights

25
15.6 Non-Waiver:
----------
Any condoning, excusing or overlooking by either the Landlord or the Tenant of
any default by the other at any time or times in respect of any obligation of
the other herein shall not operate as a waiver of the non-defaulting party's
rights hereunder in respect of such default or so as to defeat or affect in any
way the rights of the non-defaulting party in respect of any such continuing or
subsequent default by the defaulting party. No waiver shall be implied by
anything done or omitted by a party. Any waiver of a particular default shall
not operate as a waiver of any subsequent or continuing default.
ARTICLE 16 ARBITRATION
16.1 Arbitration:
-----------
Whenever in this Lease it is provided that any matter in dispute between the
Landlord and the Tenant, if not settled or agreed between them, is to be
determined by arbitration, then the following provisions shall apply:
(a) Either party may commence arbitration proceedings by giving written
notice to the other party of its desire to arbitrate (but no party shall
give such a notice unless such party has first demonstrated its
willingness to negotiate and act reasonably with a view to resolving the
dispute by agreement between the parties).
(b) Forthwith after the giving of such notice, the parties or their
designated representatives shall meet in good faith for the purpose of
agreeing, or attempting to agree, upon an arbitration procedure. If such
agreement is arrived at, the matter in dispute shall be arbitrated and
settled in accordance with the agreed procedure (and which agreed
procedure shall be reduced to writing signed by each of the parties, and
shall constitute a submission to arbitration within the meaning of the
Arbitrations Act (Ontario)).
(c) The parties recognize that, in many instances of disputes which might
arise under this Lease, the dispute may involve, and depend for its
resolution upon, technical matters or matters which involve expert
knowledge and judgment, where it is in the interests of a prompt and
equitable solution of the matter for the parties to agree upon an
independent expert having the appropriate specialized knowledge as the
sole arbitrator. In any such situation the parties shall negotiate in good
faith and act reasonably with a view to reaching agreement upon an
appropriate independent expert as a sole arbitrator. If such a sole
arbitrator is agreed upon by the parties, the dispute shall be arbitrated
and determined in accordance with the following procedure (and which shall
constitute a submission to arbitration within the meaning of the
Arbitrations Act (Ontario)):
(i) such sole arbitrator shall proceed to determine the dispute, having
regard to the provisions of this Lease and the terms of the
submission to arbitration and any other agreements the parties may
have had respecting the arbitration or the matter in dispute;
(ii) the arbitration shall, subject to any express provision herein or in
any submission to arbitration or other agreement of the parties
affecting the same, be conducted in accordance with the provisions
of the laws of Ontario applicable thereto and the provisions of the
Arbitrations Act (Ontario) shall apply thereto;
(iii) the costs of the arbitration shall be awarded in the discretion of
the sole arbitrator; and
(iv) if such sole arbitrator fails to hear and determine the matter in
dispute and render a decision in writing to the parties within 30
days after the parties agree upon such sole arbitrator, either party
may, by notice to the other, cancel the appointment of such sole
arbitrator, in which case either party may initiate new arbitration
proceedings pursuant to this section (subject to the agreement of
the other party to the commencement of new arbitration proceedings)
or proceed in the courts to have the dispute determined as if no
agreement for a submission to arbitration existed between the
parties.
26
(d) If, within 5 days after the giving of the notice referred to in
subsection (a) of this section an arbitration procedure shall not have
been agreed upon between the parties, either party may, at any time
thereafter, and prior to such a procedure being agreed, give written
notice to the other requiring the dispute to be arbitrated and determined
in accordance with the following procedure (and which shall constitute a
submission to arbitration within the meaning of the Arbitrations Act
(Ontario)):
(i) the party giving the notice referred to above in this subsection
shall, in such notice, give notice of the appointment and the name
of the arbitrator chosen by the party giving such notice;
(ii) the party receiving the notice given under paragraph (i) shall,
within 10 days after the receipt thereof, give a written notice to
the party giving the first notice of the appointment and the name of
the arbitrator chosen by the party giving the notice under this
paragraph (ii);
(iii) the two arbitrators so chosen shall jointly appoint a third
arbitrator and give written notice of the appointment and the name
of such arbitrator to the parties;
(iv) if a party required to appoint an arbitrator fails to do so and give
notice thereof as required by paragraph (ii) within the period of 10
days provided thereby, or if each party has appointed an arbitrator
and the two arbitrators so chosen fail to agree upon a 3rd
arbitrator and give notice thereof as required by paragraph (ii)
within 15 days after both have been appointed, then any party not in
default may apply to a judge of the General Court of Ontario
pursuant to the provisions of the Arbitrations Act (Ontario) for the
appointment of an arbitrator on behalf of the party in default, or
the appointment of the third arbitrator, as the case may be:
(v) the 3 arbitrators appointed pursuant to the preceding provisions
shall proceed to determine the dispute, having regard to the
provisions of this Lease and the terms of the submission to
arbitration and any other agreements the parties may have made
respecting the arbitration or the matter in dispute and the decision
of any 2 of them shall bind the parties;
(vi) the arbitration shall, subject to any express provisions herein or
in any submission to arbitration or other agreement of the parties
affecting the same, be conducted in accordance with the provisions
of the laws of Ontario applicable thereto and the provisions of the
Arbitrations Act (Ontario) shall apply thereto;
(vii) the costs of the arbitration shall be awarded in the discretion of
the arbitrators; and
(viii) if the arbitrators appointed under the preceding provisions shall
fail to hear and determine the matter in dispute and render a
decision in writing to the parties within 30 days after the
appointment of the 3rd arbitrator, either party on notice to the
other may cancel the appointments of all the arbitrators previously
made, in which case either party may initiate new arbitration
proceedings pursuant to this section (subject to the agreement of
the other party to the commencement of new arbitration proceedings)
or proceed in the courts to have the dispute determined as if no
agreement for a submission to arbitration existed between the
parties.
(e) The provisions of this Lease and of this. section requiring the
determination of certain disputes by arbitration shall not operate to
prevent recourse to the courts by any party whenever enforcement of an
award by the sole arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be,
reasonably requires access to any remedy (such as mandamus, injunction,
specific performance, declaration of right, order for possession, damages
or judicial enforcement) which an arbitrator has no power to award or
enforce. In all other respects an award by the sole arbitrator or
arbitrators, as the case may be, shall be final and binding upon the
parties.
(f) Notwithstanding that arbitration proceedings may have been commenced
or that a dispute is being negotiated, the Tenant shall continue to pay
all Rent, including without limitation all amounts which are the subject
of dispute, based upon the Landlord's reasonable estimate or re-estimate
of same where such estimate or re-estimate is
27
contemplated in the Lease (except where otherwise provided in this Lease)
until the dispute is finally determined.

consideration the Basic Rent abatement set out in Section 18.2, except
that the Landlord shall not be responsible for paying any inducements
whatsoever to the Tenant and the Basic Rent shall not be adjusted to
reflect this fact and shall be negotiated in good faith by the Landlord
and the Tenant and, failing agreement 90 days prior to the expiry of the
Term, shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Article 16;

The Indemnifiers, in consideration of the Landlord entering into this Lease and

are hereby acknowledged by the Indemnifiers, hereby represent and warrant to and
covenant and agree with the Landlord that:
(a) the total amount for which the Indemnifiers are responsible under this
Indemnity shall be limited to a maximum of $700,000.00 for the first year

any partner leaving the Partnership, such partner shall be released from
his or her obligations under this Indemnity so long as there are at least
six partners bound by this Indemnity. This Indemnity is several, in that
each indemnifier shall be entitled to limit the amount of his or her
obligation to a pro rata share of the total amount set out in paragraph
(a) above so long as the total indemnification satisfies the obligations
specified in paragraph (a) above.
(c) the Indemnifiers shall be bound, as principal obligor, to perform all
of the obligations contained in this Lease (other than those required of
the Landlord) to the same extent and with the same effect as if the
Indemnifiers were named in this Lease as the sole Tenant and irrespective
of:
(i) the unenforceability of this Lease as against the Tenant;
(ii) the termination of any obligations of the Tenant under this
Lease by operation of law or otherwise; or
30
(iii) the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other liquidation
of the Tenant including, without limitation, any surrender or
disclaimer of this Lease by a trustee in bankruptcy of the
Tenant;
(d) the obligations of the Indemnifiers under this Lease are absolute and
unconditional and shall be in no way released, discharged or reduced, and
the rights of the Landlord under this Lease shall be in no way prejudiced
or impaired, by any neglect, delay or forbearance of the Landlord in
demanding, requiring or enforcing performance by the Tenant or any other
obligated person of any of its obligations under this Lease, or by the
Indemnifiers of any of its obligations under this Lease, or by granting
any extensions of time for performance, or by waiving any performance
(except as to the particular performance which has been waived), or by
permitting or consenting to any assignment or by the bankruptcy,
receivership, insolvency or any other creditor's proceedings of or against
the Tenant, or by the winding up or dissolution of the Tenant, or any
other event or occurrence which would have the effect at law of
terminating the existence of obligations of the Tenant prior to the
termination of this Lease or by any agreements or other dealings between
the Landlord and the Tenant having the effect of amending or altering this
Lease or the obligations of the Tenant hereunder or by any want of notice
by the Landlord to the Indemnifiers of any default of the Tenant or by any
other matter, thing, act or omission of the Landlord whatsoever;
(e) the obligations of the Indemnifiers under this Lease extend not only
to the Term and to any overholding by the Tenant thereafter but also to
any renewal or extension of the Term which results from the exercise by
the Tenant of any right contained in this Lease; and
(f) the benefit of the Indemnifiers' obligations under this Lease may be
assigned by the Landlord and will benefit and be enforceable by the
successors and assigns of the Landlord.
18.3 Parking:
-------
(a) Throughout the Term and any Renewal Term, the Tenant and its employees shall
be entitled to park up to fourteen (14) automobiles on an unreserved basis in
the Parking Garage, at an initial monthly rental rate for each space of Two
Hundred and Twenty Five Dollars ($225.00). Such rate may be adjusted from time
to time by the Landlord, provided that at least thirty (30) days written notice
is given to the Tenant, and provided that parking rates shall be competitive
with those of other parking facilities in the vicinity of the Development.
(b) The Tenant agrees to comply with the parking rules as may be established
from time to time by the Landlord or the operator of the Parking Garage
governing the use of the Parking Garage (the "Parking Rules"), acting
reasonably, and of which the Tenant has notice.
(c) The Tenant agrees to indemnify the Landlord or the operator of the Parking
Garage against all liability, claims, damages or expenses due to or arising out
of any act or omission of the Tenant or those for whom it is at law responsible
in or about the Parking Garage due to or arising out of any breach by the Tenant
of the provisions of the Parking Rules.
(d) Neither the Landlord nor the operator of the Parking Garage shall be liable
for any loss, injury or damage caused to persons using the Parking Garage or to
automobiles or their contents or any other property thereon, however caused,
save for loss, injury or damage due to or arising out of the act or omission of
the Landlord, the operator of the Parking Garage or those for whom either of
them are in law responsible.
18.4 Lease of Adjacent Space:
-----------------------
The Tenant shall lease the space cross-hatched on Schedule "F" attached hereto
(the "Adjacent Space") from the earlier of: (i) the first day of February, 1994;
and (ii) the date on which the Tenant occupies the Adjacent Space other than for
incidental uses (the "Adjacent Space Commencement Date") up to and including the
expiry or earlier termination of the Term and any Renewal Term on the same terms
and conditions as set out in this Lease.
The Landlord shall complete, at its expense, the Leasehold Improvements in the
Adjacent Space in accordance with Schedule "D" of the Offer to Lease in so far
as it relates to typical office
31
space, provided such Leasehold Improvements shall not include items such as
boardrooms and reception areas.
18.5 Right to Remaining Space:
------------------------
In the event that the remainder of the space on the 30th floor of the Building
or any portion thereof (the "Remaining Space") at any time during the Term, is
or is about to become vacant, or the Landlord is negotiating a lease of the
Remaining Space with a third party, then, so long as the Tenant is not then in
default under the provisions of this Lease (with respect to which default it has
received the requisite notice and failed to cure such default) and has not
consistently been in monetary default hereunder, the Landlord shall notify the
Tenant, and the Tenant shall have 10 days within which to deliver to the
Landlord a proposal to lease the Remaining Space on the same terms and
conditions as contained in this Lease save and except for the financial terms
which must be acceptable to the Landlord, acting reasonably, failing which the
Landlord may continue to negotiate and enter into a lease of the Remaining Space
with the third party upon such terms and conditions as the Landlord, in its sole
discretion, deems acceptable. In the event the Tenant and Landlord reach an
agreement on the Tenant's proposal, then the parties shall thereafter execute
such documentation as may be reasonably required with respect to such Remaining
Space to incorporate such Remaining Space into this Lease (subject to the
amendments required by virtue of the terms of the Landlord's notice).
The Tenant's right to the Remaining Space shall be personal to the original
Tenant or any assignee or subtenant pursuant to subsection 11.1(f) and shall not
extend to any assignee or subtenant so that the right to lease the Remaining
Space terminates upon any assignment of this Lease or upon any subletting of all
or any part of the Premises.
18.6 Occupancy by Consultants:
------------------------
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the Tenant shall be
entitled to permit a portion of the Premises to be occupied by consultants or
persons whose work, on a temporary basis, is connected with the work of the
Partnership (as defined in Section 18.2).
18.7 No Right of Relocation:
----------------------
The Landlord shall not be entitled to relocate the Premises during the Term or
the Renewal Term.
18.8 Basic Rent Abatement:
--------------------
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this lease, the Landlord shall
provide to the Tenant a Basic Rent abatement as follows:
(a) during the period from April 1, 1992 to March 31, 1997, an annual
abatement of $10.00 per square foot of Gross Rentable Area in the
Premises, effective monthly on the first day of each and every month
during such period; and
(b) during the period from April 1, 1997 to March 31, 2002, an annual
abatement of $13.00 per square foot of Gross Rentable Area in the
Premises, effective monthly on the first day of each and every month
during such period.
The Tenant shall have the right to deduct the applicable monthly rent abatement
provided for in this section from the monthly amount owing by the Tenant to the
Landlord pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Lease, such that the Tenant remits to
the Landlord the net amount owing by the Tenant to the Landlord. No rent
abatement shall be permitted or applicable during any rent free periods set out
in Section 4.11.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord shall have the right, at any time,
to deliver to the Tenant a payment equal to the present value, at the time of
such payment, of the remaining abatements pursuant to this section, using a
discount rate equal to the yield on the Government of Canada marketable bonds
having a similar maturity date as stated in the most recent weekly publication
of the Bank of Canada and effective upon such payment and the parties entering
into a supplement to lease terminating this section and otherwise containing
such terms as the Tenant may require to assure it that the termination of this
section will not otherwise have adverse consequences to it, this section shall
be null and void and deleted from this Lease.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Parties hereto have duly executed this Lease as of the
