TENANT’S OPTION TO PURCHASE
9.1. The Landlord hereby grants to the Tenant an option (the “Option”) to purchase all, but not less than all of the Lands and the Buildings to be exercised during the Term, at a date after March 1, 2017, but which Option may not be exercised by the Tenant during any renewal or extended term of the Lease. The date of closing of such purchase shall be at a time selected by the Tenant, but in any event no later than sixty (60) days after the exercise of the Option (herein called the “Purchase Date”). For greater certainty, should the written notice of Tenant exercise of the Option not be received by the Landlord by midnight on September 30, 2020, the Option shall be null and void and of no further force and effect. The Option may only be exercised if the Tenant is in physical possession of the whole of both 22 and 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx. The Option is not assignable and is personal to the Tenant. The purchase price for the Lands and the Buildings (the “Purchase Price”) hereunder shall be established in accordance with Section 9.2, subject to the adjustments set out below, all upon and subject to the following terms and conditions: The
| (a) | Tenant shall be entitled to exercise the Option only during the time limited as aforesaid and only if, at the time of exercise of the Option, it shall have paid all rent then due and payable hereunder and if there shall exist no event of default under Section 8.2; |
| (b) | Tenant shall provide a deposit (the “Deposit”) of CAD$250,000., payable to the Landlord’s legal counsel in trust, to be held as xxxxxxx money for the completion of the transaction, and which Deposit shall be credited to the Purchase Price on Closing; |
| (c) | exercise of the Option shall be made by the Tenant delivering written notice to the Landlord of its intention to exercise the Option within the time periods set out herein; |
| (d) | transaction of purchase and sale of the Lands and the Building shall be completed on the Purchase Date; and |
| (e) | Tenant shall have 30 days from the date of exercise of the Option to search title to the Lands and the Building at its own expense. If within that time the Tenant makes any valid objection to the title to the Lands and the Building to the Landlord in writing which the Landlord is unable or unwilling to remove and which the Tenant will not waive, the Landlord may terminate the agreement of sale arising upon exercise of the Option and neither party will be liable to the other for any costs or damages. Should no valid objection to the title of the Landlord to the Lands and the Building be made within such 30-day period, the Landlord’s title shall be deemed to have been accepted. The Tenant shall accept title to the Lands subject to the permitted encumbrances (the “Permitted Encumbrances”) set out in Schedule “B” annexed hereto at the time of Closing, all of which Permitted Encumbrances shall have been complied with or in good standing at the time of Closing. |

| (i) | the Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant a Transfer of the Lands (which shall be in the form sufficient to convey or transfer ownership of the Buildings also), free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances other than this lease (but subject to an undertaking to deliver a discharge of any mortgage held by a mortgagee which is a bank or other recognized financial institution) and subject to the Permitted Encumbrances; |
| (ii) | the Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord a certified cheque or wire transfer drawn on a Canadian chartered bank payable to or to the order of the Landlord for the Purchase Price, subject to adjustment, as of the Purchase Date, for rent, whether prepaid, owing or accrued; and |
| (iii) | all other usual and customary conveyance documents as either party may reasonably require. |
The Option, when exercised, shall constitute a binding contract of purchase and sale upon and subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Article and time shall in all respects be of the essence thereof.
The Buildings shall be and remain at the risk of the Tenant until the Purchase Date and in the event of partial or complete destruction of the Building after the exercise of the Options, the Tenant shall complete the purchase and the Landlord shall release to the Tenant on the Purchase Date all of the Landlord’s interest in the insurance policies under which the Buildings are insured, and proceeds thereof.
The transfer will be prepared at the expense of the Landlord, and the Tenant will bear costs of registration and taxes payable thereon.
Any tender of documents or money on the Purchase Date may be made upon the Landlord or its solicitors or upon the Tenant or its solicitors, as the case may be, and the Purchase Price and any other money payable shall be paid by certified cheques drawn on or banker’s draft of a Canadian chartered bank, at par Toronto.
The Option shall be effective only if the provisions of the Planning Act (Ontario) are complied with. The Landlord will, at its cost and expense, make and diligently pursue such applications as may be necessary for consent to severance of the Lands from any abutting land owned by it forthwith after exercise of the Option.
9.2. Purchase Price Formula
The Purchase Price shall be established by averaging an appraisal obtained by the Landlord and one by the Tenant. Each appraisal shall be given by a certified appraiser under the Appraisal Institute of Canada. The costs of such appraisals shall be borne by each of the respective commissioning parties. In arriving at the Purchase Price the parties shall reduce the Purchase Price by the value of the Tenant’s unamortized leasehold improvement costs (determined at the month of the Closing) incurred by the Tenant at 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, to a maximum reduction of CAD$250,000.
