Combination Agreement

This Combination Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 24, 2014 by Fenix Parts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Fenix”), Xxxxx X. Gold and Xxxxxxx X. Gold (each a “Shareholder” and together the “Shareholders”), Standard Auto Wreckers Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), and Goldy Metals Incorporated, an Ontario corporation and Goldy Metals Holdings Inc., an Ontario corporation (each a “Corporate Shareholder” and together the “Corporate Shareholders”).

Background:

A. Fenix has entered into combination agreements for, or intends to negotiate or is currently negotiating the terms of combination agreements for, the combination of several companies (the “Combining Companies”) engaged in the business of providing alternative vehicle collision replacement products (the “Business”), in exchange for cash and/or shares of Fenix common stock (the “Consideration”). The Company is one of the Combining Companies.

B. Concurrently with the closing of an underwritten initial public offering (“IPO”) of Fenix common stock (“Fenix Stock”) and as part of a single transaction that includes the IPO, the stockholders or other equity interest holders of each Combining Company will transfer to Fenix, in exchange for the Consideration, all of the stock of or other equity interests in the Combining Companies. The Corporate Shareholders are the owners of all of the stock of the Company.

C. After the combination of the Combining Companies, the Company will continue to operate under its own name in order to preserve the value of the Company’s goodwill.

D. The IPO and the combination of the Combining Companies will be described in a registration statement on Form S-1 that Fenix will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to be declared effective by the SEC prior to the commencement of sales of Fenix Stock in the IPO (the “Registration Statement”).

E. Fenix expects to file the Registration Statement with the SEC as promptly as practicable following the completion of an audit of the financial statements of the Company and the other Combining Companies by BDO USA, LLP.

Now, therefore, in consideration of their mutual promises and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

(2) Fenix will acquire the shares of the Company’s capital stock from the Corporate Shareholders for Consideration consisting of $12,000,000 in cash in the aggregate, which shall be paid to the Corporate Shareholders by a wire transfer of immediately available funds upon Fenix’s receipt of the net proceeds from the IPO.

(b) Fenix shall control the defense of any Third Party Suit.

Fenix shall give the Shareholders at least 30 days’ prior written Notice of any proposed settlement, and during this 30-day period the Shareholders may reject the proposed settlement and instead assume the defense of the Third Party Suit if:

(1) the Third Party Suit seeks only money damages and does not seek injunctive or other equitable relief against Fenix or the Company;

(2) the Shareholders unconditionally acknowledge in writing to Fenix that the Shareholders are obligated to indemnify Fenix in full in respect of the Third Party Suit (except for any matters that are not subject to indemnification under this Agreement);

(3) the counsel chosen by the Shareholders to defend the Third Party Suit is reasonably satisfactory to Fenix;

(4) the Shareholders furnish Fenix with security reasonably satisfactory to Fenix to assure that the Shareholders have the financial resources to defend the Third Party Suit and to satisfy their indemnification obligation in respect of the Third Party Suit;

(5) the Shareholders actively and diligently defend the Third Party Suit; and

(6) the Shareholders consult with Fenix regarding the Third Party Suit at Fenix’s reasonable request.

If the Shareholders assume the defense of the Third Party Suit, Fenix shall be entitled to copies of all pleadings and, at its expense, may participate in, but not control, the defense and employ its own counsel.

(d) The Shareholders may settle a Third Party Suit in which, pursuant to Section 10.7(c), the Shareholders control the defense only if the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) the terms of settlement do not require any admission by the Shareholders, the Company or Fenix, in respect of any matters subject to indemnification under this Article 10, that in Fenix’s reasonable judgment would have an adverse effect on the Company or Fenix; and

(2) as part of the settlement, Fenix receives a binding release providing that any liability of Fenix in respect of the Third Party Suit is being satisfied as part of the settlement.

(e) Fenix’s failure to defend a Third Party Suit shall not relieve the Shareholders of their indemnification obligation under this Article 10 if Fenix gives the Shareholders at least 30 days’ prior written Notice of Fenix’s intention not to defend the Third Party Suit and affords the Shareholders the opportunity to assume the defense without having to satisfy the conditions in Section 10.7(c) for assuming the defense.

10.8

Remedies

8.	TENANT’S COVENANTS

The Tenant covenants with the Landlord:

(a)

Upon receipt of written notification from the Landlord, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the amount so estimated in monthly instalments in advance on the first day of each calendar month during such period, together with all other rental payments provided for in this Lease. Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, if the Landlord decides to be responsible in the first instance for the payment of real property taxes in respect of the Leased Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 8(c) and if at any time when payment by the Landlord of the real property taxes (including local improvement rates), whether interim, instalment or final is due, the Landlord shall not have on deposit a sufficient sum to pay the full amount of such real property taxes, the Tenant shall forthwith, upon demand, pay, as additional rent, the amount, determined as aforesaid, of any such deficiency to the Landlord. When the final real property tax xxxx in any year has been received, which relates to the period for which such estimated payments have been made by the Tenant, as aforesaid, the parties hereto agree to adjusted all payments made by the Tenant on account of real property taxes in accordance with such final real property tax xxxx. The Tenant shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord or the Tenant, as the case may be, in respect of any appeal or contestation conducted by the Landlord or the Tenant (with the prior consent of the Landlord) of the real property taxes levied or assessed against the Leased Premises.

(d)

Should the Landlord elect to supply water, gas, electricity, and/or sewer services for the Leased Premises, or any other utility used or consumed, or to be used or consumed, in the Leased Premises, the Tenant shall purchase and pay for the same as additional rent payable on demand to the Landlord, at rates not in excess of public utility rates for the same service, if applicable. In no event shall the Landlord be liable for, nor have any obligation with respect to, any interruption or cessation of, or any failure in the supply of any such utilities, services or systems, including, without limitation, the water and sewage systems, to the Leased Premises or to the Leased Premises, whether or not supplied by the Landlord or others.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Tenant shall promptly make all needed repairs or replacements in and to the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, all repairs or replacements which are interior and exterior, structural and non-structural, ordinary as well as extraordinary, foreseen as well as unforeseen, it being understood, confirmed and agreed by the Tenant that the Landlord shall not at any time during the term of this Lease be required or called upon to make any repairs or replacements in and to the Leased Premises of any nature or kind whatsoever. The obligation to repair, as aforesaid, shall extend to all maintenance, repairs and, where necessary, replacement of all driveways, sidewalks, parking areas and landscaping generally.

The failure by the Landlord to give notice shall not relieve the Tenant from any of its obligations to repair or replace in accordance with the provisions hereof. Provided further, that if the Tenant refuses or neglects to repair promptly and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord as required pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 8(f) hereof or in accordance with any notice received from the Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 8(g), the Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such repairs or replacements without liability to the Tenant for any loss or damage which may occur to the Tenant’s property or to the Tenant’s business by reason thereof and upon completion, the Tenant shall forthwith pay upon demand the Landlord’s cost for making any such repairs or replacements plus a sum equal to fifteen percent (15%) thereof for overhead, as

(h)

Surrender of Leased Premises

That, at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, the Tenant shall peaceably surrender and yield up vacant possession of the Leased Premises with all improvements, erections and appurtenances which at any time or times during the Term shall be made, placed or erected therein or thereon to the Landlord in as good condition and repair as the Tenant is required to maintain the Leased Premises throughout the Term, reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty loss (as referred to in paragraph 21 hereof) excepted.

Further, the Tenant will, at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, peacefully yield up unto the Landlord such heating and air conditioning equipment and all other equipment and appurtenances thereto in good and substantial repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty loss (as referred to in paragraph 21 hereof) excepted.

The Tenant will further comply with all police, fire, health and sanitary regulations imposed by any governmental authorities or made by fire insurance underwriters, which relate to the Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.

(k)

Assignment and Subletting

(i)

That the Tenant will not assign this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises, nor mortgage or encumber this Lease or the Leased Premises or any part thereof, nor suffer or permit the occupation of, or part with or share possession of, all or any part of the Leased Premises by any other person, firm or corporation (all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as a “transfer”) without the prior consent of the Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (ii) of

- 5 -

this Paragraph 8(k). The consent by the Landlord to any transfer, if granted, shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent transfer. This prohibition against a transfer is construed so as to include a prohibition against any transfer by operation of law and no transfer shall take place by reason of a failure by the Landlord to reply to a request by the Tenant for consent to a transfer. If there is a permitted transfer of this Lease, the Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “transferee”), and apply the net amount collected to the Minimum Rent required to be paid pursuant to this Lease, but no acceptance by the Landlord of any payments by a transferee shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant or the acceptance of the transferee as Tenant or a release of the Tenant for the further performance by the Tenant of the covenants or obligations on the part of the Tenant herein contained. Any document evidencing the Landlord’s consent to a transfer of this Lease, if permitted or consented to by the Landlord shall be prepared by the Landlord’s attorneys, and all legal fees with respect thereto shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord forthwith upon demand. Any consent by the Landlord shall be subject to the Tenant causing any such transferee to promptly execute an agreement directly with the Landlord agreeing to be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease as if such transferee had originally executed this Lease as Tenant. Notwithstanding that any such transfer is permitted or consented to by the Landlord, the Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable with the transferee upon this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease.

(ii)

Landlord’s Option

If the Tenant intends to effect a transfer of all or any part of the Leased Premises or this Lease, in whole or in part, or of any estate or interest hereunder, then and so often as such event shall occur, the Tenant shall give prior written notice to the Landlord of such intent, specifying therein the name of the proposed transferee and shall provide such information with respect thereto, including, without limitation, information concerning the principals thereof and as to any credit, financial or business information relating to the proposed transferee as the Landlord requires, and the Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, notify the Tenant in writing either, that (a) it consents or does not consent to the transfer, or (b) it elects to cancel this Lease in preference to the giving of such consent. If the Landlord elects to cancel this Lease, as aforesaid, the Tenant shall notify the Landlord in writing within fifteen (15) days thereafter of the Tenant’s intention either to refrain from such transfer or to accept the cancellation of this Lease. If the Tenant fails to deliver such notice within such period of fifteen (15) days, this Lease will thereby be terminated upon expiration of the said fifteen (15) day period. If the Tenant advises the Landlord it intends to refrain from such transfer, then, the Landlord’s right to cancel this Lease as aforesaid shall become null and void in such instance. The right of the Landlord to terminate the Lease shall not be applicable to a sublease of a part of the Leased Premises where the Tenant continues to operate its business in the remainder of the Leased Premises.

(iii)

No Advertisement

The Tenant shall not print, publish or display any notice or advertisement advertising the whole or any part of the Leased Premises for the purposes of assignment or subletting without the prior approval by the Landlord of the complete text or format of any such notice or advertisement.

- 6 -

(l)

Corporate Ownership

That if the Tenant is a corporation or if the Landlord has consented to a transfer of this lease to a corporation, any transfer or issue by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition or by subscription from time to time of all or any part of the corporate shares of the Tenant or of any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Tenant or any corporation which is an associate or an affiliate of the Tenant which result in any change in the present effective voting control of the Tenant by the parties holding such voting control at the date of execution of this Lease (or at the date a transfer of this Lease to a corporation is permitted) and which does not receive the prior written consent of the Landlord in each instance, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, shall entitle the Landlord to terminate this Lease upon five (5) days’ written notice to the Tenant. If the Landlord elects to cancel this Lease as aforesaid, the Tenant shall have the right to advise the Landlord within fifteen (15) days after written notice of the Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease that the Tenant elects to have this Lease reinstated by the transfer, sale, assignment or other disposition (the “retransfer”) from the shareholders of the Tenant after such change in control to the shareholders of the Tenant existing as of the date of execution of this Lease (or at the date that a transfer of this Lease to a corporation is permitted). If the Tenant effects such re-transfer within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice of the Landlord’s election, and forthwith thereafter provides the Landlord with evidence satisfactory to the Landlord of such re-transfer, this Lease will be reinstated as of the date of the termination by the Landlord as aforesaid. If this Lease is terminated the Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises whereupon the Landlord’s rights and remedies contained in Paragraph 11 hereof shall apply. The Tenant shall make available to the Landlord all corporate books and records of the Tenant for inspection at all reasonable times in order to ascertain whether there has been any change in control. Provided, notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph 8(l) to the contrary, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to the Tenant if at such time (a) the Tenant is a public corporation whose shares are traded and listed on any recognized stock exchange in the United States or Canada, or (b) the Tenant is a private corporation but is controlled by a public corporation defined as aforesaid.

(m)

Nuisance

That the Tenant will not do or omit to do or permit to be done or omitted anything upon or in respect of the Leased Premises, the doing or omission of which, as the case may be, shall be or result in any nuisance or menace to the Landlord and including, without limitation, the Tenant shall not keep in, on or around the Leased Premises any animals, birds or other pets; and that no machinery shall be used on the Leased Premises which shall cause any undue vibration in or to the Leased Premises, and if the Landlord shall complain that any machinery or operation thereof in or on the Leased Premises is a nuisance to it, upon receiving notice thereof, the Tenant will immediately cease such nuisance.

(iv)

public liability and property damage insurance including personal and bodily injury liability, contractual liability, non-owned automobile liability and owners’ and contractors’ protective insurance coverage with respect to the Leased Premises, coverage to include the activities and operations conducted by the Tenant and any other parties on the Leased Premises. Such policies shall be written on a comprehensive basis with limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for bodily injury to any one or more persons or property damage, and such higher limits as the Landlord or the Landlord’s mortgagee reasonably requires from time to time, and shall not be invalidated as respects the interests of the Landlord and the Landlord’s mortgagee by reason of any breach or violation of any warranties, representations, declarations or conditions contained in the policies. All such policies must contain a severability of interests clause, a cross liability clause and shall be primary and shall not call into contribution any other insurance available to the Landlord or to the Landlord’s mortgagee;

(v)

(vi)

any other form of insurance as the Tenant or the Landlord or the Landlord’s mortgagee reasonably requires from time to time, in form, in amount and for insurance risks against which a prudent owner would insure.

All such policies shall contain an undertaking by the insurers to notify the Landlord and the Landlord’s mortgagee in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change, cancellation, failure to renew, or termination thereof.

The Tenant agrees that if the Tenant fails to take out or to keep in force any such insurance referred to in Paragraph 9(a) hereof, or should any such insurance not be approved by either the Landlord or the Landlord’s mortgagee, and should the Tenant not rectify the situation within forty-eight (48) hours after written notice by the Landlord to the Tenant (stating if the Landlord or the Landlord’s mortgagee does not approve of such insurance, the reasons therefor), the Landlord has the right without assuming any obligation in connection therewith, to affect such insurance at the sole cost and expense of the Tenant and all outlays by the Landlord shall be immediately paid by the Tenant to the Landlord as additional rent on the first day of the next month following such payment by the Landlord, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Landlord under this Lease.

(e)

If any insurance policy upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof shall be cancelled or shall be threatened by the insurer to be cancelled, or the coverage thereunder reduced in any way by the insurer by reason of the use and occupation of the Leased Premises or any part thereof by the Tenant or by any assignee or subtenant of the Tenant, or by anyone permitted by the Tenant to be upon the Leased Premises, and if the Tenant fails to remedy the conditions giving rise to the cancellation, threatened cancellation or reduction of coverage within forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof by the Landlord, the Landlord may, at its option, either (a) re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises forthwith by leaving upon the Leased Premises a notice in writing of its intention so to do and thereupon the Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as contained in paragraph 12 hereof, or (b) enter upon the Leased Premises and remedy the conditions giving rise to such cancellation, threatened cancellation or reduction, and the Tenant shall forthwith pay the cost thereof to the Landlord, which cost may be collected by the Landlord as additional rent and the Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused to any property of the Tenant or of others located on the Leased Premises as a result of such entry. The Tenant agrees that any such entry by the Landlord is not a re-entry or a breach of any covenant for quiet enjoyment contained in this Lease.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph 9 to the contrary, the Landlord, at its sole option, shall be entitled to effect in respect of the Leased Premises all such insurance which the Tenant is obligated to take out and maintain pursuant to Paragraph 9(a) hereof. The Landlord shall advise the Tenant in writing of the Landlord’s intention to take out and maintain all such insurance in respect of the Leased Premises as set out in Paragraph 9(a), and upon receipt of such written notice, the Tenant shall be relieved of all further obligations to take out and maintain such insurance in respect of the Leased Premises. Thereafter, the Tenant shall reimburse and pay to the Landlord, as additional rent, the total cost and expenses incurred by the Landlord in taking out and maintaining all such insurance in accordance with Paragraph 9(a) hereof. Such costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in insuring the Leased Premises shall include, without limitation, any increase in the cost of the Landlord’s insurance premiums as a result of or arising from the Tenant’s use and occupation of the Leased Premises, whether or not the Landlord has consented to same. The amount payable by the Tenant to the Landlord in respect of the Landlord’s cost of insuring the Leased Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 9(f) may be estimated by the Landlord for such period or periods as the Landlord may determine and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the cost of such amount in equal monthly instalments in advance during such period, together with all other rental payments provided for in the Lease. Provided, however, as soon as bills for all or any portion of the amount so estimated by the Landlord in respect of its insurance premiums are received, the Landlord may xxxx the Tenant for the cost thereof (less all amounts previously paid by the Tenant on the basis of the Landlord’s estimate which have not already been so applied) and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord such amount so billed as additional rent on demand. At the end of the period for which such estimated payments have been made by the Tenant in respect of the Landlord’s cost of insuring the Leased Premises in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant a statement setting out the total costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in respect of all such insurance, and if necessary, all adjustments shall be made between the parties as soon as

- 9 -

reasonably possible. Provided, however, nothing contained in this Paragraph 9(f) shall be interpreted or construed in any way as being a covenant by the Landlord to take out and maintain in respect of the Leased Premises any of the insurance coverage as referred to in Paragraph 9(a) hereof, and the Landlord’s failure to place or cause to be placed any such insurance shall not be a breach of this Lease or create any liability or responsibility whatsoever on the part of the Landlord.

10.	MUTUAL COVENANTS

Provided, and it is expressly agreed:

(a)

(e)

Tenant not to Overload Facilities

That the Tenant will not install any equipment which would exceed or overload the capacity of the utility facilities in the Leased Premises and agrees that if any equipment installed by the Tenant shall require additional utility facilities, same shall be installed, if available, and subject to the Landlord’s prior written approval thereto (which approval may be unreasonably withheld), at the Tenant’s sole cost and expense in accordance with plans and specifications to be approved in advance by the Landlord, in writing.

In the event the Tenant shall fail to cause any such lien to be discharged or vacated, as aforesaid, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of the Landlord, the Landlord may, but it shall not be so obligated, discharge or vacate same by paying the amount claimed to be due into Court or directly to any such lien claimant and the amount so paid by the Landlord and all costs and expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred herein for the discharge or vacating of such lien shall be due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord as additional rent on demand.

11.	FIXTURES AND REMOVAL AND RESTORATION BY TENANT

All alterations, decorations, additions and improvements made by the Tenant or made by the Landlord or others on the Tenant’s behalf (other than the Tenant’s trade fixtures) shall immediately become the property of the Landlord without compensation therefor to the Tenant. Such alterations, decorations, additions or improvements shall not be removed from the Leased Premises either during or at the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of the Lease, except that:

(a)

the Tenant may at the end of the Term, if not in default, remove its trade fixtures;

The Tenant shall, in the case of every such installation or removal either during or at the end of the Term, make good any damage caused to the Leased Premises or to the Leased Premises by the installation or removal of any such alterations, decorations, additions or improvements.

12.

RE-ENTRY

Proviso for re-entry by the Landlord on non-payment of rent or non-performance or non-observance of covenants. The Landlord’s right of re-entry hereunder or any powers conferred on the Landlord in this Lease, all with respect to non-payment of Minimum Rent or additional rent, may be exercised by the Landlord immediately upon default being made by the Tenant and without any notice thereof to the Tenant.

If the Landlord elects to re-enter, as herein provided, or if it takes possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this Lease or it may from time to time without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary, in order to relet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term or terms extending beyond the Term of this Lease) 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 reletting all rentals received by the Landlord from such reletting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than rent due hereunder, owing by the Tenant to the Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees, solicitor’s fees and the costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of all rentals due and unpaid hereunder, 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 hereunder. If the rentals received from such reletting during any month shall be less than that to be paid during that month by the Tenant hereunder, the Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to the Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by the Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to the Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, the Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Should the Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any remedies it may have, it may recover from the Tenant all damages it has incurred or may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, reasonable solicitor’s fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to the rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated Term over the then reasonable rental value as determined by the Landlord for the remainder of the stated Term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from the Tenant to the Landlord.

13.	EXPENSES AND REMOVAL OF CHATTELS

(a)

In case suit shall be brought for recovery of possession of the Leased Premises, or, for the recovery of rent or any other amounts due under the provisions of this Lease, or because of the breach of any other covenants herein contained on the part of the Tenant to be kept or performed, and a breach shall be established, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all expenses incurred therefor, including a reasonable solicitor’s fee.

(b)

In case of removal by the Tenant of the goods and chattels of the Tenant from the Leased Premises, the Landlord may follow same for thirty (30) days.

14.	LANDLORD MAY CURE TENANT’S DEFAULT

If the Tenant shall fail to pay, when due, any amounts or charges required to be paid pursuant to this Lease, the Landlord, after giving five (5) days notice in writing to the Tenant, may, but shall not be obligated to, pay all or any part of the same. If the Tenant is in default in the performance of any of its covenants or obligations hereunder, (other than payment of Minimum Rent or other sums required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Lease), the Landlord may from time to time after the giving of such notice as it shall deem sufficient, having regard to the circumstances applicable (or no notice in the case of an emergency or apprehended emergency) perform or cause to be performed any of such covenants or obligations or any part thereof, and for such purpose may do such things as may be requisite, including without limitation, entering upon the Leased Premises and doing such things upon or in respect of the Leased Premises or any part

- 13 -

thereof as the Landlord may reasonably consider requisite or necessary. All expenses incurred and expenditures made by or on behalf of the Landlord under this Paragraph 14, plus a sum equal to fifteen percent (15%) thereof shall be additional rent hereunder and shall be paid by the Tenant upon demand. The Landlord shall have no liability to the Tenant for any loss or damage resulting from any such action by the Landlord, and any entry by the Landlord under the provisions of this Paragraph 14 shall not constitute a breach of the covenant for quiet enjoyment or an eviction.

15.	DEFAULT IN THE PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT

If the Tenant shall be in default in the payment of any additional rent or other charges required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Lease, they shall, if not paid when due, be collectible as rent with the next monthly instalment of Minimum Rent thereafter falling due hereunder, but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any amount, money or charge at the time same becomes due and payable hereunder, or limit any other remedy of the Landlord. The Tenant covenants and agrees that the Landlord may, at its option, apply or allocate any sums received from or due to the Tenant against any amounts due and payable hereunder in such manner as the Landlord, in its sole discretion, sees fit.

16.

NET LEASE

The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it is intended that this Lease is a completely care-free net lease to the Landlord, and that the Landlord is not responsible during the Term of the Lease for any costs, charges, expenses and outlays of any nature whatsoever arising from or relating to the Leased Premises or the use and occupancy thereof or to the contents thereof, or the business carried on therein, and the Tenant shall pay all charges, impositions, costs and expenses of any nature or kind relating to the Leased Premises.

17.	QUIET ENJOYMENT

Upon the payment by the Tenant of the rents herein provided and upon the observance and performance of all covenants, terms and conditions on the Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, the Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the Term hereby demised without hindrance or interruption by the Landlord, or any other person or persons lawfully claiming by, through or under the Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

18.	RIGHT OF ENTRY

The Landlord or its agents shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises at all times, and upon reasonable notice: (i) to examine the same, (ii) to show them to prospective purchasers, lessees or mortgagees, and, (iii) without any obligation upon the Landlord to do so, to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Leased Premises as the Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. The Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the Leased Premises which may be required therefor without the same constituting an eviction of the Tenant in whole or in part, and the rent reserved hereunder shall not xxxxx while such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions are being made due to any loss or interruption of the business of the Tenant or otherwise. The Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, injury or death caused to any person or property of the Tenant or of others located on the Leased Premises as a result of such entry. During the six months prior to the expiration of the Term the Landlord may exhibit the Leased Premises to prospective tenants and place upon the Leased Premises its usual notice “To Let” which notice the Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without molestation. If the Tenant shall not be personally present to open and permit an entry into the Leased Premises at any time when for any reason entry therein shall be necessary or permissible, the Landlord or its agents may enter the same by a master key or may forcibly enter the same, without rendering the Landlord or such agents liable therefor, and without in any manner effecting the obligations and covenants of the Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon the Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for the care, maintenance or repair of the premises or any part thereof except as otherwise herein specifically provided.

19.	IMPROVEMENTS

The Tenant will not make any repairs, alterations, replacements, decorations or improvements to any part of the Leased Premises without first obtaining the Landlord’s prior written approval,

- 14 -

which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Tenant shall submit to the Landlord details of the proposed work, such indemnification against liens, costs, damages and expenses as the Landlord shall require and evidence satisfactory to the Landlord that the Tenant has obtained, at its sole expense, all necessary consents, licences and approvals from all governmental authorities having jurisdiction. All such repairs, replacements, alterations, decorations or improvements by the Tenant to the Leased Premises approved of by the Landlord shall be at the sole cost of the Tenant, shall be performed by competent workmen in a good and workmanlike manner and shall be subject to the reasonable supervision of the Landlord. Any such repairs, replacements, alterations, decorations or improvements made by the Tenant without the prior written consent of the Landlord, or, which are not in accordance with the drawings and specifications approved by the Landlord, as aforesaid, shall, if requested by the Landlord, be promptly removed by the Tenant at its expense and the Leased Premises restored to their previous condition. Provided, notwithstanding anything herein contained, no repair, replacement, alteration, addition, or improvement to the Leased Premises by or on behalf of the Tenant shall be permitted which may weaken or endanger the structure or adversely affect the condition or operation of the Leased Premises or diminish the value thereof, or restrict or reduce the Landlord’s coverage for zoning purposes.

20.

FIRE

(a)

If the Leased Premises are at any time damaged or destroyed as a result of fire, the elements, accident or other perils as are insured against from time to time pursuant to Paragraph 9 hereof, and if as a result of such occurrence: (i) fifty percent (50%) or more of the Leased Premises are rendered wholly unfit for occupancy; or (ii) the cost of repairing or rebuilding the Leased Premises exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the replacement cost thereof; or (iii) in the opinion of the Landlord’s architect or engineer, to be given as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of such damage or destruction, the Leased Premises cannot be repaired with reasonable diligence within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the happening of such damage or destruction, then, in each case, either party may, at its option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days of the happening of such occurrence, terminate the Lease by giving to the other party notice in writing of the election to terminate the Lease. In the event of such termination, the Lease and the Term hereby demised shall cease and be at an end as of the date of such damage or destruction and the Minimum Rent and all other additional rent for which the Tenant is liable under the terms of this Lease shall be apportioned and paid in full to the date of such destruction or damage.

(b)

If the Landlord does not elect to terminate the Lease in accordance with Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 20, then, the Landlord shall commence with all reasonable diligence to reconstruct, rebuild or repair the Leased Premises to the extent only of its obligations in respect of the original construction of the Leased Premises and exclusive of any work performed in and to the Leased Premises by or on behalf of the Tenant (the “Landlord’s Work of Reconstruction”). From the date of the happening of such damage or destruction and until the completion of the Landlord’s Work of Reconstruction, the Minimum Rent shall xxxxx (i) in its entirety if, in the opinion of the Landlord’s architect or engineer, the Leased Premises are rendered wholly untenantable or (ii) proportionately, (to the portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable), if in the opinion of the Landlord’s architect or engineer, the Leased Premises are rendered untenantable only in part, subject, in either case, to the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received by the Landlord in respect of the insurance maintained pursuant to Paragraph 9(a)(iii).

(c)

The Landlord declares that it may assign its rights under this Lease to a lending institution as collateral security for a loan to the Landlord and in the event that such an assignment is given and executed by the Landlord, and notification thereof is given to the Tenant by or on behalf of the Landlord, it is expressly agreed between the Landlord and the Tenant that this Lease shall not be cancelled or modified for any reason whatsoever except as provided for, anticipated or permitted by the terms of this Lease or by law, without the consent in writing of such lending institution.

The Tenant covenants and agrees with the Landlord that it will, if and whenever reasonably required by the Landlord, consent to and become a party to any instrument relating to this Lease which may be required by or on behalf of any purchaser, lender or mortgagee from time to time of the Leased Premises.

(a)

any funds in the hands of the Landlord or the then vendor or transferor at the time of such transfer, in which the Tenant has an interest, shall be turned over to the purchaser or transferee and any amount then due and payable to the Tenant by the Landlord or the then vendor or transferor under any provision of this Lease shall be paid to the Tenant; and

(b)

Any such signs shall, at all times, be in conformity with all relevant governmental requirements and shall otherwise be subject to the Tenant’s covenants in this Lease, and the Tenant so covenants with the Landlord.

24.	WAIVER OF BREACH

The waiver by the Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by the Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by the Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, regardless of the Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

No subordination by the Tenant shall have the effect of permitting the holder of any mortgage or charge or other security to disturb the occupation and possession by the Tenant of the Leased premises, so long as the Tenant shall perform all of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and provisos contained in this Lease and so long as the Tenant executes contemporaneously, a document of attornment required by any such mortgagee or other encumbrancer. If within ten (10) days after the date of any request in respect thereof, the Tenant has not executed and delivered to the Landlord any instruments or certificates required pursuant to the provisions of

- 17 -

this Paragraph 27 or Paragraph 26 hereof, then, the Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints the Landlord as the Tenant’s attorney with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of the Tenant any such instruments or certificates.

28.	IMPOSSIBILITY OF PERFORMANCE

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if either party hereto is bona fide delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any term, covenant or act required hereunder by reason of strikes, labour troubles, inability to procure materials or services, power failure, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, sabotage, rebellion, war, acts of God, or other reasons whether of a like nature or not which is not the fault of the party delayed in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease, then, the performance of such term, covenant or act is excused for the period of the delay and the party so delayed shall be entitled to perform such term, covenant or act within the appropriate time period after the expiration of the period of such delay. However, the provisions of this Paragraph 28 shall not in any way operate to excuse the Tenant from the prompt payment of Minimum Rent and additional rent or any of the payments required by the terms of this Lease.

29.	OPTION TO RENEW

(a)

Provided the Tenant:

(i)

has duly and regularly made all Minimum Rent, additional rent and other sums required to be paid pursuant to this Lease and within the times and in the manner set out in this Lease, including any cure periods;

(ii)

has duly and regularly observed and performed each and every one of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease on its part to be observed and performed and within the times and manner set out in the Lease, including any cure periods; and

(iii)

either personally or through its affiliated companies is in possession of and conducting its business in the whole of the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease;

it, the Tenant, shall have three (3 ) options to renew each for a term of five (5) years (each being hereinafter called a “Renewal Term”) upon the same terms and conditions as herein more particularly set forth save for Minimum Rent and save for further renewals (subject to those specified herein) provided the Tenant notifies the Landlord in writing at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Term of its wish to exercise such option.

(b)

With respect to Minimum Rent during any Renewal Term more particularly referred to in the immediate preceding paragraph such rent shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, or failing agreement, shall be fixed by binding arbitration as hereinafter provided, always subject to the same covenants, provisos, and conditions as herein contained. If such Minimum Rent is to be settled by arbitration, such rent shall be governed by current market rent for similar premises in the area in effect as of the first day of the Renewal Term in question and having regard to the following:

(i)

If the parties hereto are unable to agree upon annual Minimum Rent with respect to any Renewal Term pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph by the first day of the third month immediately preceding the commencement of any Renewal Term, since time is recognized to be of the essence hereof, it is agreed that either party may at any time thereafter give notice to the other party of its desire to submit the matter regarding annual Minimum Rent with respect to the Renewal Term to arbitration. Such notice shall give the name of the arbitrator who is the nominee of the party giving such notice. Within ten (10) business days after the receipt of such notice, the party receiving it shall give notice to the other party of its nominee as arbitrator, and the two (2) arbitrators so named shall within ten (10) days of the appointment of the second of them agree upon the third arbitrator who shall be chairperson of the panel. If the party receiving the said notice shall not

- 18 -

give notice to the other party of its nominee as arbitrator within the said ten (10) business days, then the nominee of the party who shall have given the said notice shall proceed as the sole member of the board of arbitration and his/her decision shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. If the two (2) arbitrators first named are unable to agree upon the choice of the third arbitrator either party may apply to a judge of the Superior Court of Ontario who is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint the third arbitrator. The decision of the sole arbitrator or of any two (2) of the three (3) arbitrators (as the case may be) shall be deemed to be the decision of the entire panel, and shall be final and binding on all parties in interest and shall not be subject to appeal in any jurisdiction. The panel of arbitrators shall have full power and authority to hear evidence under oath or otherwise as it may decide to be proper, and to assess the costs of the arbitration against either or both of the parties hereto.

(ii)

If the annual Minimum Rent payable during the Renewal Term in question is finally determined, whether by mutual agreement or by arbitration, after the expiration of the immediately preceding Term or Renewal Term (as the case may be), all necessary adjustments in respect of any overpayment or underpayment by the Tenant shall be made within thirty (30) days following such determination.

(iii)

It is understood and agreed that pending finalization of annual Minimum Rent for the Renewal Term in question, the Tenant shall continue to pay annual Minimum Rent as referred to in the last year of the immediately preceding Term or Renewal Term (as the case may be) until such time as determination has been made with respect to annual Minimum Rent applicable to such Renewal Term.
