(c) All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (without limitation, including Building Share of Building Costs, Project Share of Project Costs and Other Charges) shall constitute and be deemed to be Rent and shall be payable and recoverable as Rent, and shall be payable, when due, in legal tender of Canada, without abatement, deduction or rights of set-off, and without demand or, where so specified, upon notice or invoice, at such place as Landlord from time to time may designate, and Landlord shall have all rights against Tenant for default in any payment as in the case of arrears of Annual Rent.

5
then anything to the contrary In this Lease notwithstanding, the Commencement Date will be delayed one day for each day after June 9, 1997 until Landlord achieves such condition. This subsection (b) supersedes Section 10.1(c) of the Offer to Lease which shall hereafter be of no force or effect.
(c) if, after Landlord’s construction of the Building to the condition referred to in subsection (b) above and before the Commencement Date, Landlord’s construction of Landlord’s improvements is delayed by force majeure as described in paragraph 13.1 herein, as a direct result of such delay Tenant’s completion of Tenant’s Improvements is delayed beyond the Commencement Date, then anything to the contrary in this Lease notwithstanding, the Commencement Date will be delayed one day for each day that Tenant is so delayed.

If the aggregate of the instalments of Building Share of Building Costs and Project Share of Project Costs actually paid by Tenant to Landlord during such Fiscal Year differs from the total amount of Building Share of Building Costs and Project Share of Project Costs set forth on the Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or Landlord shall credit to Tenant the difference without interest within 30 days after the date of delivery of the Statement;
(d) If Tenant disagrees with the accuracy of the information set forth in the Statement, Tenant shall nevertheless make payment or be credited in accordance with the Statement, but Tenant shall, within 30 days of delivery of the Statement, advise Landlord of such disagreement and Landlord shall, within 30 days of such notice of disagreement provide Tenant with evidence and receipts in reasonable detail supporting such Statement. If Tenant thereafter gives Landlord notice of its continuing disagreement, the disagreement shall immediately be
6
referred by Landlord for prompt decision by a public accountant, architect, insurance broker or other professional consultant who is, in the opinion of Landlord, acting reasonably, qualified to assess and determine the matter and who shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator and whose determination shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant, unless within 30 days of the determination either party elects to submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to applicable law.

(f) If the Term expires or this Lease is otherwise terminated on a date other than the last day of a Fiscal Year, Building Share of Building Costs and Project Share of Project Costs shall be adjusted on a per diem basis, based on and calculated at the time of delivery of the Statement next delivered after such date. If the aggregate of the instalments of Building Share of Building Costs and Project Share of Project Costs actually paid by Tenant to Landlord during the period up to and including the expiry or earlier termination date differs from the total amount of Building Share of Building Costs and Project Share of Project Costs payable for the period up to such date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or Landlord shall refund to Tenant the difference without interest within 30 days after the date of delivery of the Statement, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(d) above.

(ii) if elected by Landlord by notice to Tenant at or after re-entry or termination, a lump sum amount equal to the Rent which would have been payable under this Lease from the date of such election during the period which would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term had it not been terminated, reduced by the rental value of the Premises for the same period, established by reference to the terms and conditions upon which Landlord re-lets them if such re-letting is accomplished within a reasonable period after termination, and otherwise established by reference to all market and other relevant circumstances, such Rent and rental value being reduced to present worth at an assumed interest of 10% per annum on the basis of landlord’s estimates and assumptions of fact which shall govern unless shown to be erroneous.
