(d) | No Transfer may be made other than pursuant to an agreement in writing of which a copy is given to the Landlord together with the request for consent. |
(e) | No Transfer may be made where any portion of the Rent is lower than that provided for herein or otherwise on terms more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth herein. |

All costs incurred by the Landlord in respect of any such request for consent, including legal costs and the Landlord’s administrative fee shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid by the Tenant forthwith upon demand whether or not the Landlord grants its consent to any proposed Transfer. |
(g) | All such requests to the Landlord for consent to any Transfer shall also be accompanied by such information in writing as a Landlord might reasonably require respecting the proposed Transferee and which might be required to provide the Landlord with all the information necessary to determine whether the aforementioned factors are satisfied and which information shall include, without limitation, the name, business and home address and telephone numbers, business experience, credit information and rating, financial position and banking and personal references of the proposed Transferee and a description of the business to be conducted by the Transferee from the Leased Premises. |

(iii) | to require the Transferee to enter into an agreement with the Landlord in writing and under seal to be bound by all of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in respect of the Leased Premises and to waive any right it or any person on its behalf may have to disclaim, repudiate or terminate this Lease pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other creditors proceedings, including without limitation, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or the Companies Creditor’s Arrangement Act (Canada) and to agree that in the event of any such proceedings the Landlord will comprise a separate class for voting purposes; |

(v) | to require, if the Transfer is a sublease, or other transaction not including an assignment, that all amounts payable by the Transferee each month be paid directly to the Landlord who shall apply the same on account of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. |
(i) | No consent of the Landlord to a Transfer shall be effective unless given in writing and executed by the Landlord and no such consent shall be deemed or presumed by any act or omission of the Landlord or by the Landlord failing to respond to any request for consent or by the Landlord’s acceptance of any payment of any amount payable hereunder from any party other than the Tenant. The Landlord may collect Rent or any other amounts from any Transferee and apply the amount collected to any Rent and the collection and acceptance of any Rent shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the Landlord’s rights under this Section 4.18 nor an acceptance of or consent to any such Transfer or a release of any of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. No consent by the Landlord to any Transfer shall constitute a waiver of the necessity to obtain the Landlord’s consent to any subsequent or other Transfer. |

(k) | If the Tenant is an incorporated company, any change in the effective voting or other control of the company shall be deemed for the purposes hereof to be a Transfer. So long as the shares of Intellon Corporation are being publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange and Intellon Canada Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intellon Corporation, then any change in the effective voting control of the Tenant that results from: (A) any financing of the Tenant by lenders who are acting at arms length to the Tenant, or (B) any issuance of equity securities by the Tenant to investors shall not require the prior written consent of the Landlord but shall require written notice to the Landlord. |
(l) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, the Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Tenant given within fourteen (14) days following the receipt by the Landlord of the Tenant’s request for a consent to a Transfer and all information and documentation that is required under the provisions of this Section 4.18 to be provided to the Landlord, to terminate this Lease, if the request was to assign the Lease, sublease the whole of the Leased Premises or a change in the voting control of the Tenant or, to terminate the Lease only as to a portion of the Leased Premises if the request was to sublet a portion of the Leased Premises or to assign the Lease in part only. Such termination shall be effective on a date named in such notice which shall be the last day of a month not less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the delivery of such notice. Upon such termination of this Lease as to a portion of the Leased Premises the Tenant shall peaceably surrender and yield up to the Landlord such portion of the Leased Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease relating to the surrender of the Leased Premises at the expiration of the Term and thereafter the Rent shall be adjusted accordingly. |
(m) | If the Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4.18(l), the Tenant shall have the right, to be exercised by written notice to the Landlord within two (2) day after receipt of the Landlord’s notice, to withdraw the request for consent, in which case the Tenant shall not proceed with the Transfer and the Landlord’s notice of termination shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. |

The Tenant shall also pay to the Landlord with respect to such work, the reasonable cost to the Landlord of all utilities supplied to the Leased Premises with respect to such work and any special or additional services provided to the Tenant during the conduct of such work, including special supervision, the cost of any necessary cutting or patching of or repairing any injury to the Building or the Leased Premises, any cost to the Landlord of removing refuse or materials and of cleaning as a result of such work, any cost to the Landlord of changes required by the Tenant for the use of the Leased Premises, and all other costs incurred for the accommodation of such work (including delays caused by the conduct of such work) and any other cost of the Landlord which can reasonably be allocated as a direct expense relating to the conduct of such work. Such costs of the Landlord shall be paid to the Landlord by the Tenant as they are incurred by the Landlord and invoiced to the Tenant. Any such invoices may be based upon the Landlord’s reasonable estimate of any cost wherever such cost cannot be exactly determined from information then available to the Landlord.
Section 6.9.1 Tenant to Discharge all Liens
(a) | The Tenant will not allow or cause any construction or other liens or encumbrances in respect of materials supplied or work done or to be done by or on behalf of the Tenant to be registered against or otherwise affect the Building, the Leased Premises or any part thereof or the Landlord’s or the Tenant’s interest in the Leased Premises. |

Section 6.10 Termination in the Event of Damage
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Lease, if the Building or the Rights in Common is damaged or destroyed by any casualty against which the Landlord is insured so as to render the Leased Premises unfit for the purpose of the Tenant or incapable of access, the Rent reserved by this Lease or a proportionate part thereof shall xxxxx to the extent of insurance recoveries received by the Landlord from the date of the damage or destruction, until the Leased Premises are rebuilt unless the Tenant is obliged to repair under the terms of this Lease; provided that upon the delivery of an Architect’s Certificate to the effect:
(a) | that the Leased Premises cannot be rebuilt or made fit for the purposes of the Tenant within one hundred and twenty (120) days of such damage or destruction, the Landlord, at its option, instead of making the Leased Premises fit for the Tenant, may terminate this Lease by giving to the Tenant within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction notice of the termination, and thereupon Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such damage or destruction and the Tenant shall immediately deliver up vacant possession of the Leased Premises to the Landlord; or |
(b) | that irrespective of whether the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed, fifty percent (50%) or more of the leasable area of the Building or the Rights in Common is damaged or destroyed and such area cannot be rebuilt or made fit for the purposes of the tenants of such leasable area within one hundred and eighty (180) days of such damage or destruction, the Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease by giving to the Tenant within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction notice of termination requiring vacant possession of the Leased Premises sixty (60) days after delivery of such notice of termination and thereupon Rent and any other payments for which the Tenant is liable under this Lease shall be apportioned and paid to the date on which vacant possession is required and the Tenant shall deliver up vacant possession of the Leased Premises to the Landlord in accordance with such notice of termination and the provisions of this Lease. |
Section 6.11 Termination for Sale/Demolition
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, if the Landlord shall have decided or determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, to:
(a) | sell the whole or any part of the Building of which the Leased Premises form a part; |
(b) | demolish the whole or any part of the Building of which the Leased Premises form a part; or |
(c) | redevelop, reconstruct, renovate or alter the whole or any part of the Building of which the Leased Premises form a part; |
to the extent that vacant possession of the Leased Premises is necessary, expedient or desired, as determined by the Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion and if the Tenant has exercised its right to extend as provided for in Section 10.3 the Landlord may unilaterally terminate this Lease by giving twelve (12) months notice in writing to the Tenant which notice can specify a termination date (the “Termination Date”) which shall not be earlier than December 31, 2012. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that the Tenant shall have no claim or cause of action whatsoever (including but not limited to claims for damages, losses, expenses and other compensation) against the Landlord with respect to, relating to or arising from such termination of the Lease by the Landlord and that the Landlord shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever to the Tenant with respect to, relating to or arising from such termination of the Lease by the Landlord. On the Termination Date, the Tenant shall deliver up vacant possession of the Leased Premises to the Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease and shall execute all documents and other assurances deemed necessary or desirable by the Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion to give effect to the provisions of this Section.
Section 6.12 Rules and Regulations
The Landlord shall be entitled from time to time to make and to amend and supplement reasonable rules and regulations not inconsistent with this Lease and applying uniformly to all tenants in the Building. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such rules and regulations may relate to and govern the operation, maintenance, safety, care, cleanliness and use of the Building, the Leased Premises, the Leasable Service Areas and the Service Areas, and access to the Building and the Rights in Common and the Leased Premises other than during Normal Business Hours. The Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations set out in Schedule “C” to this Lease and any amendments or supplements thereto and shall cause its officers, agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers, invitees and licensees to comply with such rules and regulations. The Landlord shall be under no responsibility for its failure to enforce any of such rules or regulations. The Landlord shall give reasonable notice to the Tenant of any amendments or supplements to such rules and regulations.
Section 6.13 Transfers by Landlord
The Landlord, at any time and from time to time, may sell, transfer, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of the whole or any part of its interest in the Building or in the Leased Premises and, at any time and from time to time, may enter into any mortgage of
the whole or any part of its interest in the Building or in the Leased Premises. If the party acquiring such interest shall have agreed to assume, and so long as it holds such interest, to perform each of the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Landlord under this Lease in the same manner and to the same extent as if originally named as the Landlord in this Lease the Landlord shall thereupon be released from all of its covenants, obligations and agreements under this Lease.
Section 6.14 Rights of Landlord’s Mortgagees
If at any time during the currency of a mortgage of the interest of the Landlord in the Building notice of which has been given to the Tenant, any default shall occur in the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or agreements of the Landlord which would give rise to a right in the Tenant to terminate this Lease, then the Tenant, before becoming entitled as against the holder of such mortgage to exercise any right to terminate this Lease, shall give to the holder of such mortgage notice in writing of such default. The holder of such mortgage shall have such period as may be reasonable in the circumstances within which to remedy such default as agent of the Landlord (or by such other means as will avoid the holder of such mortgage becoming a mortgagee in possession of the Leased Premises by reason of effecting such remedy) and if such default is remedied within such time the Tenant shall not by reason thereof terminate this Lease. The rights and privileges granted to the holder of any such mortgage by virtue of this section shall not in any way be deemed to alter, affect or prejudice any of the rights available to the Tenant against the Landlord. Any notice to be given to the holder of such mortgage shall be deemed to have been given if mailed by registered mail to its most recent address of which the Tenant shall have notice.
Section 6.15 Priority of Lease
This Lease and all rights of the Tenant under this Lease are subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases and to all mortgages now or hereafter made by the Landlord provided that the holder thereof shall permit the Tenant to remain in possession of the Leased Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease so long as the Tenant is not in default under this Lease. The Tenant, if so required, shall attorn to the mortgagee upon the foreclosure of any such mortgage and to the purchaser under the sale of the Building pursuant to any such mortgage and shall recognize such mortgagee or purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease; provided that the holder of any such mortgage may subordinate and postpone such mortgage to this Lease at any time by an instrument in writing to such effect registered against the title to the Building without any further consent or agreement of the Tenant.
Section 6.16 Right to Relocate
At any time and from time to time prior to or during the Term or any renewal or extension thereof, the Landlord shall be entitled to relocate or rearrange the Leased Premises from the location shown on Schedule “A” or to make alterations, additions or reductions to the Leased Premises provided that:
(a) | the leasable area of the Leased Premises is not increased or decreased by more than ten percent (10%); and |
(b) | the Landlord effects such alterations, additions, reductions, relocation or rearrangement at its expense, including (i) all reasonable moving costs and (ii) all other reasonable direct costs necessarily and reasonably incurred by the Tenant. All such costs shall be as evidenced by paid invoices delivered by the Tenant to the Landlord. |
ARTICLE VII
LANDLORD’S REMEDIES
Section 7.1 Landlord May Perform Tenant’s Covenants
If the Tenant shall be in default of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements under this Lease (other than its covenant to pay Rent) and such default shall have continued for a period of ten (10) consecutive days after notice by the Landlord to the Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity the nature of such default and requiring the same to be remedied, the Landlord, without prejudice to any other rights which it may have with respect to such default, may remedy such default and the cost thereof to the Landlord together with interest thereon at the Stipulated Rate of Interest from the date such cost was incurred by the Landlord shall be added to the Rent due on the next succeeding date on which Base Rent is payable and such amount shall thereupon become due and payable as Rent in addition to the regular payment of Base Rent then due. The Landlord shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all rights, remedies and priorities of the payee of the amount paid by the Landlord to remedy such default.
Section 7.2 Re-Entry
When:
(a) | the Tenant shall be in default in the payment of any Rent, whether lawfully demanded or not, and such default shall continue for a period of five (5) consecutive days after notice by the Landlord to the Tenant; |
(b) | the Tenant shall be in default of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements under this Lease (other than its covenant to pay Rent) and such default shall have continued for a period of ten (10) consecutive days after notice by the Landlord to the Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity the nature of such default and requiring the same to be remedied; |
(c) | any property of the Tenant has been sold under a valid writ of execution, or the Tenant shall have made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall make any assignment or have had a receiving order made against it under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, or becoming bankrupt or insolvent shall have made application for relief under the provisions of any statute now or hereafter in force concerning bankrupt or insolvent debtors, or any action whatever, legislative or otherwise, shall have been taken with a view to the winding up, dissolution or liquidation of the Tenant; |
(d) | any insurance policy is cancelled or not renewed by an insurer by reason of any particular use or occupation of the Leased Premises; |
(e) | the Tenant shall purport to make a Transfer affecting the Leased Premises or the Leased Premises shall be used by any person or for any purpose other than in compliance with and expressly authorized by this Lease; |
(f) | the Tenant makes any sale in bulk affecting any property on the Leased Premises (other than in conjunction with a Transfer approved in writing by the Landlord and made pursuant to all applicable legislation); |
(g) | a trustee, receiver, receiver manager, manager, agent or other like person shall be appointed in respect of the assets or business of the Tenant or any other occupant of the Leased Premises; or |
(h) | the Leased Premises shall have been vacated or have become vacant or shall have remained unoccupied for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive days, |
then and in any of such cases, the then current month’s Rent together with the Rent for the three (3) months next ensuing shall immediately become due and payable, and at the option of the Landlord the Term shall become forfeited and void, and the Landlord without notice or any form of legal process whatever may forthwith re-enter the Leased Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and repossess and enjoy the same as of its former estate, anything contained in any statute or law to the contrary notwithstanding. Such forfeiture shall be wholly without prejudice to the right of the Landlord to recover arrears of Rent and damages for any antecedent breach of the covenants, obligations or agreements of the Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such forfeiture the Landlord may subsequently recover from the Tenant damages for loss of Rent suffered by reason of this Lease having been prematurely determined and it may recover from the Tenant all damages it may incur with respect thereto, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of Rent for the remainder of the Term over the then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Term, all of which Rent shall be immediately due and payable from the Tenant to the Landlord. In determining the Rent which would be payable under this Lease by the Tenant subsequent to default, the annual rent for each year of the unexpired portion of the Term shall be equal to the average of the aggregate of the Base Rent and Additional Rent paid by the Tenant from the Commencement Date to the time of default, or during the three (3) full calendar years preceding such default, whichever period is shorter.
Section 7.3 Landlord May Re-let
If the Landlord does not exercise its option under Section 7.2 to terminate this Lease it may nevertheless in the events set out in Section 7.2 from time to time re-enter the Leased Premises without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as
may be necessary in order to re-let the Leased Premises, and re-let the Leased Premises or any part thereof as agent for the Tenant for such period or periods (which may extend beyond the Term) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as the Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon each such re-letting all rentals received by the Landlord from such re-letting shall be applied; first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due from the Tenant to the Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such re-letting, including brokerage fees and solicitor’s fees and of the costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid, and the residue, if any, shall be held by the Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the amount by which the rentals received from such re-letting during any month are less than the rent payable during that month by the Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, the Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease. No such re-entry or taking of possession by the Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless, at the time of or subsequent to such re-entry or taking of possession, a written notice of such intention has been given to the Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 7.4 Right to Distrain
The Tenant waives and renounces the benefit of any present or future statute purporting to limit or qualify the Landlord’s right to distrain and agrees with the Landlord that in any of the events set out in Section 7.2, the Landlord, in addition to the other rights reserved to it, shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises as agent of the Tenant either by force or otherwise without being liable for any prosecution therefor and to take possession of any goods and chattels whatever on the Leased Premises, save and except any such goods and chattels which are owned by any occupiers of the Leased Premises, other than the Tenant, and to sell the same at public or private sale without notice and apply the proceeds of such sale on account of the Rent or in satisfaction of the breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Tenant under this Lease and the Tenant shall remain liable for the deficiency, if any. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Commercial Tenancies Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. L. 7 or any successor legislation or other statute which may hereafter be passed to take the place of the said Section or to amend the same, none of the goods and chattels of the Tenant at any time during the continuance of the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for Rent and the Tenant hereby waives all and every benefit that it could or might have under such Section. Upon any claim being made for such exemption by the Tenant, or on distress being made by the Landlord, this provision may be pleaded as an estoppel against the Tenant in any action brought to test the right to the levying upon any such goods.
Section 7.5 Landlord May Follow Chattels
In case of removal by the Tenant of the goods or chattels of the Tenant from the Leased Premises, the Landlord may follow the same for thirty (30) days in the same manner as is provided for in the Commercial Tenancies Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.L.7, or any successor legislation or other statute which may hereafter be passed to take the place of the said Act or to amend the same.
Section 7.6 Waiver of Repudiation of Lease
The Tenant waives and renounces the benefit of Section 65.2 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act or any successor legislation as such statute may be amended from time to time and the Tenant covenants and agrees that it will not repudiate this Lease pursuant to Section 65.2 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. Upon any attempt to repudiate this Lease by the Tenant pursuant to Section 65.2 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, the Landlord shall be entitled to plead this covenant and agreement as an estoppel against the Tenant repudiating this Lease.

The Tenant agrees to provide to the Landlord prompt notice of any impending financial difficulties which could lead to a secured creditor’s exercising, or providing notice of an intention to exercise, its remedies, including a notice under Section 244 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
