		(i) any of the goods and chattels of the Tenant shall be at any time seized or taken in execution or in attachment by any creditor of the Tenant; or

		(ii) if a writ of execution shall issue against the goods or chattels of the Tenant; or

		(iii) if the Tenant shall execute any chattel mortgage with respect to any of its goods or chattels other than in the ordinary course of its business; or

		(iv) if the Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commit any other act of bankruptcy as defined in The Bankruptcy Act of Canada or any amendment thereto or, becoming bankrupt or insolvent, shall take the benefit of any Act that may be in force for bankrupt or insolvent debtors; or

		(v) shall abandon or attempt to abandon the Demised Premises; or

		(vi) to sell or dispose of its goods or chattels so that there would not in the event of such sale or disposal be, in the opinion of the Landlord, a sufficient distress on the Demised Premises for the next accruing three (3) month’s rent and moneys accruing hereunder as rent;

then the current month’s rent, together with the Minimum Rent and additional rent for the three (3) months next ensuing shall immediately become due and payable and the Term shall, at the option of the Landlord, forthwith become forfeited and determined, in which event the Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Demised Premises as though the Tenant or any occupant or occupants of the Demised Premises was or were holding over after the expiration of the Term, without any right whatsoever.

(b) Provided and it is hereby agreed that any obligation for payment to which the Tenant is liable under the terms of this Lease and including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the costs of maintaining the common areas and facilities, insurance premiums, Taxes, business taxes, rates and other charges as herein provided, shall be treated as rent whether or not, the same are designated as “additional rent” payable by the Tenant to the Landlord and for all purposes of this paragraph if such charges shall then be in arrears, the same shall be deemed to be rent owing under the terms of this Lease and the same may be recovered by the Landlord in the same manner as rent as in this paragraph provided.

(c) Provided that in the event the Landlord does not exercise its option to terminate the Lease, it may nevertheless, at its option, make a re-entry in order to minimize its damages and such re-entry shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Tenant and

notwithstanding the same, the within Lease shall continue in full force and effect and such re-entry or other action taken by the Landlord shall not relieve the Tenant of any of its obligations hereunder. The options hereinbefore set out shall be deemed to be properly exercised by the Landlord upon the Landlord sending by prepaid registered mail addressed to the Tenant at the Demised Premises or left upon the Demised Premises a notice stating which of the options the Landlord is exercising and such notice may be sent either before or after the re-entry by the Landlord.


10.	RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD

(a) Provided, and it is hereby expressly agreed, that if and whenever the rent hereby reserved or any part thereof, shall be unpaid on the date upon which the same ought to have been paid, although no formal demand shall have been made therefor, then it shall be lawful for the Landlord at any time thereafter, to re-enter into and upon the Demised Premises or part thereof in the name of the whole and to have, repossess and enjoy the same again, as of its former estate.

(b) In the event that the Tenant shall be in default of any of its covenants hereunder, other than its covenant to pay rent, in addition to any other right which the Landlord may have hereunder, the Landlord may give to the Tenant notice in writing stating the said default with reasonably sufficient particularity and requiring the said default to be remedied. If such default is not remedied by the Tenant within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such notice or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary in view of the nature of default, the Landlord may, at its option, either:


	(i) enter into and upon the Demised Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and have again, repossess and enjoy the same as of its former estate and this Lease shall thereupon terminate; or

	(ii) the Landlord may itself take such steps and do or cause to be done such things as may be necessary to remedy and correct such defaults and may thereupon charge as additional rent its total costs and expenses incurred in respect thereof, plus an administrative and supervisory fee equivalent to 15% thereof, to the Tenant who hereby covenants and agrees to pay the same upon demand.

(c) Provided further that in addition to all other rights hereby reserved to it, the Landlord shall have the right to re-enter the Demised Premises as the agent of the Tenant either by force or otherwise, without being liable for any prosecution therefor. Upon such re-entry the Landlord may re-let the whole or any portion of the Demised Premises for any period equal to or greater or less than the remainder of the Term and to receive the rent therefor, which rent may be any sum which the Landlord may deem reasonable, to any Tenant which it may deem suitable and satisfactory, and for any use and purpose which it may deem appropriate. In connection with any such lease, the Landlord may make such changes in the character of the improvements of the Demised Premises as the Landlord may determine to be appropriate or helpful in effecting such lease. In no event shall the Landlord be under any obligation to re-let the Demised Premises in whole or in part for any purpose which the Landlord may regard as injurious to the Demised Premises, or to any Tenant which the Landlord, in the exercise of reasonable discretion, shall deem to be objectionable and to apply any rent derived from so re-letting the Demised Premises upon account of the rent due hereunder. The Tenant shall remain liable to the Landlord for the deficiency, if any, it being the intention of the parties hereto that nothing herein contained and no entry made by the Landlord hereunder shall in any way release the Tenant from the payment of the rent hereby reserved during the Term hereof beyond such sum as may be realized by the Landlord by such re-letting or by the proceeds of any distress made by the Landlord against the Tenant. The Landlord shall not in any event be required to pay to the Tenant any surplus of any sums received by the Landlord on a re-letting of the Demised Premises in excess of the rent reserved hereunder.

(d) Provided further that in the event that the Landlord shall be entitled to and shall elect to make a re-entry as hereinbefore provided, any re-entry or other action so taken shall not be deemed to relieve the Tenant of its obligation to pay rent and other moneys payable as rent or otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof, but the same shall continue to accrue and be payable until such time as the Landlord is able to re-let the Demised Premises or otherwise deal with the same in such manner that it would not sustain any loss should the Tenant thereafter fail to pay the rent and additional rent.


11.	WAIVER OF EXEMPTION FROM DISTRESS

The Tenant hereby covenants and agrees with the Landlord that, in consideration of the premises and of the leasing and letting by the Landlord to the Tenant the Demised Premises for the Term (and it is upon that express understanding that these presents are entered into) that, notwithstanding anything contained in any present or future statute which may hereafter be passed , none of the goods or chattels of the Tenant at any time during the continuance of the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for rent in arrears by the Landlord, and that upon any claim being made for such exemption by the Tenant or on distress made by the Landlord, this covenant and agreement may be pleaded as an estoppel against the Tenant in any action brought to test the right to the levying upon any such goods or chattels; the Tenant waiving as it hereby does all and every benefit that could or might have accrued to it by any present or future statute, but for the above covenant.


12.	REMOVAL OF CHATTELS

Provided that in case of removal by the Tenant of its goods and chattels from the Demised Premises, the Landlord may follow the same for thirty (30) days in the same manner as is provided for in the Landlord and Tenant Act with respect to the fraudulent removal of goods.

Provided that should the Tenant remain in possession of the Demised Premises after the end of the Term, without other special agreement, it shall be as a monthly tenant at a rental of two hundred per cent (200%) of the Minimum Rent payable during the last month of the Term, payable monthly, in advance, on the 1st day of each and every month and subject in all other respects to the terms of this Lease.


14.	LANDLORD’S COVENANTS

The Landlord covenants with the Tenant:

(a) That so long as the Tenant is paying the rent hereby reserved and performing the covenants hereinbefore on its part contained, the Tenant may peaceably possess and enjoy the Demised Premises for the Term hereby granted, without any interruption or disturbance from the Landlord, or any other person or persons lawfully claiming by, from or under the Landlord;

(b) The Tenant shall have the right, upon first obtaining the written consent of the Landlord, from time to time to make alterations and changes in the interior of the Demised Premises as it may find necessary for its purposes and at its own expense, including but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the erection of partitions and installation of lighting fixtures, and provided that such alterations do not cause irreparable damage to the Demised Premises and provided that the same shall be done and made in a good and workmanlike manner. In the event that such alterations shall affect the structural integrity of the Demised Premises, then plans for such alterations or changes shall be delivered to the Landlord and the prior consent of the Landlord in writing shall be obtained, which consent may be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld notwithstanding any statutory or other authority to the contrary. All such partitions and

lighting fixtures and other alterations shall be Tenant’s fixtures and shall be removed by the Tenant unless the Landlord otherwise directs. On such removal, the Tenant shall restore the interior of the Demised Premises to their former condition immediately prior to the installation of such alterations or changes, including the restoration of such standard fixtures as may have been installed by the Landlord;

(c) The Tenant shall have the right at its own expense to attach, paint or display such signs, signboards, posters, flags or other advertisements or decorations in or about the Demised Premises provided that the Tenant shall have first obtained the consent in writing of the Landlord thereto, such consent not to be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld, and provided that the same shall be removed by the Tenant at the expiration of the Term and the Tenant shall thereupon restore the Demised Premises to their former condition. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Landlord is interested in a greater amount of real property than the Demised Premises and, accordingly, reserves the right to regulate all signs, signboards, posters, flags, advertisements or other decorations in its sole and entire discretion in order to maintain a uniformity in the area and to protect the aesthetics thereof for the benefit of its own interest and those of the Tenant and other interested persons, and that the aforesaid covenant by the Landlord not to unreasonably or arbitrarily withhold its consent shall be construed accordingly. The Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to place upon the Demised Premises a notice stating that the Demised Premises are for sale and at any time during the last six months of the Term that the Demised Premises are for rent and the Tenant shall not remove such sign or notices or permit the same to beremoved.

(b) If the Building or Demised Premises are partially destroyed by fire or the elements and can be repaired with reasonable diligence within 180days of the commencement of reconstruction, and if the damage is such as to render the Demised Premises wholly unfit for occupancy, then the rent shall not run or accrue after the said injury or while the process of repairs is going on and the Landlord shall repair the same to the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received, with all reasonable speed and then the rent shall recommence immediately after the said repairs have been completed;

(c) If the Building or the Demised Premises are partially destroyed by fire or the elements and can be repaired with reasonable diligence within 180 days of the commencement of reconstruction and if the damage is such that the Demised Premises can be partially used, then until such damage shall have been repaired, the rent shall xxxxx in the proportion that the part of the Demised Premises rendered unfit for occupancy bears to the whole of the Demised Premises;

(d) The Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant for any loss or damage whatsoever caused by any of the perils or casualties enumerated in standard Fire, Extended Coverage, Boiler and Machinery, Multi-Peril, All-Risk or Physical Damage policies and recovered by the insured party from its insurers, even if such fire or other casualty or peril results from the negligence of the Landlord; and to the extent of such recovery, the Tenant releases and waives all rights and claims against the Landlord.

(e) Where the Tenant desires indemnity for furniture, fixtures, equipment or improvements installed, or other property of the Tenant located in the Demised Premises or used by the Tenant under the terms of this Lease, the Tenant shall be responsible to insure the same and may not look to the Landlord for recovery or reimbursement therefor in the event of loss or damage from any cause.

(ii) In the event that the taking or expropriation does materially affect the Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Demised Premises, the whole of the compensation awarded or settlement, where fixed by agreement or otherwise, for the said lands so taken or expropriated, shall nevertheless be paid to the Landlord, but the rent thereafter payable by the Tenant shall xxxxx accordingly and, in addition thereto, after payment of the amount to which the Landlord is entitled as aforesaid, the Tenant shall be entitled to that portion of the award or compensation granted by the expropriating body relating or attributable to the Tenant’s leasehold improvements so taken or expropriated.

(b) If the Landlord on the one hand and the Tenant and others (if any) claiming under the Tenant, on the other hand, shall be unable to agree within thirty (30) days after the amount of compensation award or settlement as aforesaid has been fixed as to whether such taking or expropriation materially affects the Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Demised Premises or as to the extent to which the rent shall xxxxx, then the same shall be determined by arbitrators to be selected as hereinafter provided, the determination of a majority of such arbitrators to be final and binding upon the parties thereto. The Landlord shall choose one of such arbitrators; the Tenant another; and the two so chosen shall together choose a third. Any such arbitration shall be carried out under the provisions of The Arbitrations Act of Ontario.

(c) In the event that such taking or expropriation so affects the Demised Premises as not to terminate this Lease but as to require the reconstruction or replacement of some portion of the Demised Premises, such reconstruction or replacement shall be carried out at the Landlord’s expense in a good and workmanlike manner and as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, provided the cost thereof does not exceed the amount of the compensation awarded or fixed by agreement or otherwise.


17.	CONDONING

Provided that any condoning, excusing or overlooking by the Landlord of any default, breach or non-performance by the Tenant at any time with respect to any covenant, proviso or condition herein contained shall not operate as a waiver of the Landlord’s rights hereunder in respect of any subsequent default, breach or non-observance so as to defeat or in any way affect the rights of the Landlord hereunder in respect of any such subsequent default, breach or non-observance, and all rights and remedies herein contained of the Landlord or any rights or remedies available to the Landlord by law, shall be deemed to be cumulative and not alternative.
