---------
such default by NDC shall entitled GPS to exercise any and all remedies
available to "Landlord" under the Lease or any other remedies available at law
or in equity under the laws of the Country of Canada, Province of Ontario.
NDC hereby agrees to indemnify and hold GPS harmless with regard to
Occupant's use of a portion of the Leased Premises as provided herein to the
same extent that GPS is required to indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless
with respect to such space. NDC agrees to obtain and maintain during the period

Exhibit D insurance in the same amounts and of the same types (including any
---------
required waiver of subrogration provisions or endorsements) required to be
carried by GPS, as "Tenant" under the Lease, with regard to the Leased Premises.
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of Occupant's right to occupy a
portion of the Leased Premises pursuant to this Exhibit D, NDC shall return such
---------
portion of the Leased Premises to GPS in the condition required by the Lease,
normal wear and tear damage by casualty or condemnation excepted.

(b) cost for outside vendors and service providers engaged by GPS to provide
janitorial, security or other services to the Leased Premises as a whole, and
