ARTICLE 4 RENT
4.1 Basic Rent:
The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, yearly and every year during the Term,
without any set-off, compensation or deduction whatsoever, a Basic Rent in
Canadian dollars as follows:
(a) from the 1st day February of 1994 to the 30th day of April, 1994
zero dollars, and
-6-
(b) from the 1st day of May 1994 to the 31st day of December, 1997
$52,228.96 annually payable in advance in equal consecutive monthly
instalments of $4,352.41 on the first day of each and every month during
such period, and
(c) from the 1st day of January, 1998 to the 31st day of December, 2001
$139,223.52 annually payable in advance in equal consecutive monthly
instalments of $11,601.96 on the first day of each and every month
during such period.
Basic Rent has been calculated on the basis that the rental rate for the Initial
Premises is $14.00 per annum during the first four (4) years of the Term (except
for the period January 1st, 1994 to March 30, 1994) and for the Premises is
$18.00 per annum during the balance of the Term per square foot of Gross
Rentable Area in the Premises. If there are changes to the Gross Rentable Area
of the Premises, Basic Rent shall be adjusted accordingly.
4.2 Additional Rent:
The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, during the Term, when due, as Additional
Rent and without duplication:
(a) that portion of Taxes payable by the Tenant pursuant to section 5.3;
(b) the Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs pursuant to
section 6.1;
(c) all Additional Service Costs payable by the Tenant; and
(d) all other amounts payable by the Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
4.3 Payment of Additional Rent:
The Additional Rent specified in subsections 4.2(a), (b) and (c) shall be paid
and adjusted with reference to a fiscal period of 12 calendar months, which
shall be the 12 month period ending on December 31st in each year during the
Term unless the Landlord, by notice to the Tenant, shall from time to time have
selected a fiscal period which ends on a different date (but which shall be a 12
month period except where a shorter broken fiscal period occurs at the
commencement or end of the Term or is necessary to accommodate a change in the
fiscal period made during the Term). From time to time throughout the Term, the
Landlord shall give notice to the Tenant of the Landlord's estimate of such
Additional Rent to be paid by the Tenant during the next ensuing fiscal period.
Each estimate shall be reasonable. Such Additional Rent payable by the Tenant
shall be paid in monthly instalments in advance at the same time as payment of
Basic Rent is due hereunder and shall be based on the Landlord's estimate as
aforesaid. From time to time the Landlord may re-estimate, on a reasonable
basis, the amount of such Additional Rent for any fiscal period in which case
the Landlord shall give notice to the Tenant of such re-estimate and fix new
monthly instalments for the remaining balance of such fiscal period so that,
after giving credit for the instalments paid by the Tenant on the basis of the
previous estimate or estimates, all the Additional Rent as estimated or
re-estimated will have been paid during such fiscal period.
All Additional Service Costs shall be paid by the Tenant within five days after
receipt by it from time to time of invoices from the Landlord specifying the
amounts thereof.
-7-
4.4 Adjustment of Additional Rent:
After the end of each fiscal period referred to in section 4.3, the Landlord
shall deliver to the Tenant a statement of the Landlord as to the actual
Additional Rent payable to the Landlord pursuant to subsections 4.2(a), (b) and
(c) in respect of such fiscal period and a calculation of the amount by which
such Additional Rent payable by the Tenant varies from the aggregate instalments
paid by the Tenant on account of such Additional Rent for such fiscal period.
Within 30 days after the receipt of such 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 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 have the right, exercisable by notice to the Landlord given
within 30 days after receipt of any statement of such Additional Rent submitted
by the Landlord as aforesaid, to verify the accuracy of any amount shown on any
statement by requiring the Landlord to give to the Tenant appropriate
explanations related to such statement.
In the event of any dispute by the Tenant as to the amount of such Additional
Rent payable, a letter of the Landlord's auditors shall be conclusive.
4.5 Apportionment of Rent:
Rent shall be considered as accruing from day to day hereunder. If it is
necessary to calculate Rent for a period of less than one year or less than one
calendar month, an appropriate apportionment and adjustment on a pro rata daily
basis shall be made. Where the calculation of Additional Rent cannot be made
until after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the obligation
of the Tenant to pay such Additional Rent shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination hereof, and such amount shall be paid by the Tenant to the
Landlord forthwith upon demand. If the Term commences on any day other than the
first day of the month, Rent for such fraction of a month shall be adjusted, as
aforesaid, and paid by the Tenant on the commencement date of the Term.
4.6 No Right of Set-off:
The Tenant expressly waives the benefits of section 35 of the Landlord and
Tenant Act R.S.0 1980, Chapter 232 and any amendments thereto and any present or
future enactment of the Province of Ontario permitting the Tenant to claim a
set-off against Rent for any cause whatsoever.
4.7 Additional Rent Deemed Rent:
All Additional Rent shall be deemed to be rent and the Landlord shall have all
rights against the Tenant for default in payment of Additional Rent as for
default in the payment of Basic Rent.
4.8 Interest on Arrears:
If the Tenant fails to pay Rent when due, the Tenant shall pay interest on the
unpaid amount at the Rate of Interest from the date due until the date paid,
without prejudice to and in addition to any other remedy available to the
Landlord under this Lease or at law.
-8-
4.9 Net Lease to Landlord:
This Lease and the Rent payable hereunder shall be absolutely net to the
Landlord, except as expressly provided herein. Any obligation which is not
stated to be that of the Landlord shall be deemed to be that of the Tenant.
ARTICLE 5 TAXES

The Landlord shall pay when due to the taxing authority or authorities having

5.3 Tenant's Contribution to Taxes:
(a) The Tenant shall, in respect of each calendar year included in whole
or in part within the Term, pay to the Landlord an amount to cover the
Taxes that are fairly attributable to the Premises for such calendar
year, such amount to be determined by the Landlord acting reasonably. If
there are separate assessments (or, in lieu thereof, calculations made
by authorities having jurisdiction from which separate assessments may,
in the Landlord's opinion, be readily determined) for the Premises for

obligated to) obtain some or all of the additional coverage or other insurance

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.

entitled to withhold consent to assign or sublet arbitrarily where it
exercises its right to termination pursuant to section 11.2.
-22-
(b) Without limitation, the Tenant shall be deemed to have assigned or
sublet in any case where it permits the Premises or any portion thereof

affiliated (as that term is defined in the Ontario Business Corporations

provisions of subsection 11.2(b) shall not apply), provided that the
Tenant has first given notice to the Landlord and further provided that
the Tenant and its affiliate have first entered into an agreement
directly with the Landlord in a form satisfactory to the Landlord acting

each and every covenant, proviso, condition and agreement in this Lease

(ii) it shall have requested and obtained the consent in writing
of the Landlord thereto.
