The Tenant shall promptly deliver to the Landlord all information the Landlord reasonably requires in respect of the proposed Assignee including its name, address, the nature of its business, proof of its financial responsibility and reputation and a copy of the form of assignment or other Disposition document proposed to be used. | |
7.02 |
No Release. Any Disposition to which the Landlord has consented will not release the Tenant or Indemnifier from any of its obligations under this Lease. The Landlord's acceptance of rent from an Assignee to whom the Landlord has not consented will not constitute a waiver of the requirement for consent, nor will the Landlord's consent to any one Disposition be deemed to be consent to any further Disposition. |
12
7.03 |
Exclusion from Consent. If by the sale or other disposition of its shares or securities, or by a merger, amalgamation or other corporate restructuring, the control or the beneficial ownership of the Tenant is changed at any time after the execution of the Lease or during the Term or if the Tenant assigns this Lease to a company that controls the Tenant, such change will not be deemed to be a Disposition within the meaning of this Article 7 and shall not require the Landlord's consent. |
|
7.04 |
Costs. The Tenant shall, together with its initial request to the Landlord for consent to any Disposition, pay to the Landlord its reasonable administration fee and the Tenant shall reimburse to the Landlord any reasonable solicitors' fees and any other reasonable costs, charges and expenses which may be incurred by the Landlord in connection with the Tenant's request for consent to any Disposition and subsequent assignment documents. |
13

|||
(c) |
"all risks" insurance, including earthquake and flood insurance, covering the leasehold improvements, fixtures, furniture, inventory, equipment and personal property of the Tenant to their full replacement cost value and business interruption. Such insurance will include the Landlord as a loss payee as its interest may appear with respect to insured leasehold improvements. The Tenant shall make such proceeds available toward the repair or replacement of the insured property if this Lease is not terminated pursuant to any other provisions hereof; |
|||
(d) |

|||
(g) |
such other insurance as the Landlord may reasonably designate, in amounts and for risks against which a prudent tenant would insure. |
8.02 | Waiver of Subrogation. All property damage and liability policies, except automobile, written on behalf of the Tenant shall contain a waiver of any subrogation rights that the Tenant's insurer(s) may have against the Landlord and against those for whom the Landlord is, in law, responsible save and except in the event of negligence by the Landlord or those for whom the Landlord is, at law, responsible. | |
8.03 |
Insurers. The Tenant shall effect all insurance with insurers and brokers licensed to carry on business in British Columbia who are acceptable to the Landlord and on terms satisfactory to the Landlord acting reasonably. The Tenant's commercial general liability insurance will contain a cross liability and severability of interest clause in favour of the Landlord as if the Landlord and Tenant were separately insured. All insurance policies, except automobile liability, will contain a clause requiring the insurer not to cancel or materially alter without first giving the Landlord at least thirty (30) days written notice. |
14
8.04 |
Certificates. The Tenant shall supply the Landlord with a certificate of insurance signed by an authorized insurance agent or insurance company setting out in detail the particulars of its insurance coverage at the commencement of the Term and with respect to any new policies at least ten (10) days before the expiry of the existing policies. In the event of any loss or damage to the Premises, or if same is requested by the Landlord, the Tenant shall provide a copy of the policies in force with respect to such insurance coverage. |
|
8.05 |
Insurance Defaults. If the Tenant does not maintain in force any required insurance or provide proof of insurance, the Landlord may take out insurance it deems appropriate, pay the premiums, and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the amount of the premiums on the next Basic Rent payment date. |
|
8.06 |
Dual Coverage. If any insurable loss is covered by policies of both the Tenant and Landlord, the coverage of the Tenant shall be primary and the coverage of the Landlord shall apply to excess loss. |

injuries to the Tenant or any employee, licensee, invitee, customer or agent of the Tenant, and death resulting therefrom, occurring on or about the Premises as a result of the negligence, wilful act, breach or default under this Lease of the Tenant, its employees, licensees, invitees, customers or agents, |
|||
including all costs and actual legal fees and disbursements and this indemnity will survive the expiry or sooner termination of this Lease. |
8.08 | Amendments. Any changes to the above noted insurance requirements must be first approved by the Landlord in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. | |
8.09 |
Acts Conflicting with Insurance. The Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done by its employees, licensees, invitees, customers or agents which may render void or voidable or conflict with the requirements of any insurance policy relating to the Premises or regulations of fire insurance underwriters applicable to such policy, or which may increase the premiums payable in respect of any such policy. If any policy is cancelled because of any act or omission of the Tenant, the Landlord shall have the right to immediately take steps to rectify such act or omission and the Landlord's reasonable costs of taking such steps shall be payable by the Tenant. If the premiums payable in respect of any such policy are increased by an act or omission of the Tenant, the Tenant shall at the Landlord's request pay to the Landlord the amount by which those premiums are increased or the Landlord shall collect such amount as Additional Rent. |
15
8.10 |
Mutual Release. The Landlord and the Tenant each hereby remise, release and forever discharge the other from all actions, manners of action, causes of actions, claims, suits and obligations which either has, or may hereafter have, against the other for or concerning, or by reason of, or in any way connected with or arising out of, or in consequence of, an occurrence in respect of which the releasing party has insurance or is required to insure pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The parties confirm that the release contained in this paragraph 8.10 shall not affect the liability of the Landlord or the Tenant to a third party other than their respective insurers who, notwithstanding sections 8.02 and 10.03, will be bound by this release. |

15.06 |
Holding Over. If the Tenant holds over after the end of the Term contrary to written notice from the Landlord, and the Landlord accepts rent, the new tenancy will be a month to month tenancy, subject to the terms and covenants herein applicable to a month to month tenancy, except that: |
|||
(a) |
it will be subject to termination by the Landlord on one week's written notice to the Tenant; |
|||
(b) |
there will be no right of renewal; and |
|||
(c) |

|
15.09 |
Waiver. The failure of the Landlord to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation of the Tenant in this Lease or to exercise any right or option hereunder will not be a waiver or relinquishment of that covenant or obligation or any other default hereunder. The acceptance of any rent from or the performance of any obligation hereunder by anyone other than the Tenant will not be an admission by the Landlord of any right, title or interest of such person as a sub-tenant, assignee, transferee or otherwise in the place of the Tenant, nor shall it constitute a waiver of any breach of this Lease. If the Landlord makes an error in calculating or billing any monies payable by the Tenant under this Lease, such will not be a waiver of the Landlord's right to collect the proper amount of monies payable by the Tenant. |
|
15.10 |
Interest. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord interest at a rate equal to the commercial prime lending rate of the Landlord's bank plus three per cent per annum calculated, compounded and payable monthly on all money payable by the Tenant pursuant to this Lease, which has become overdue, as long as such payments remain unpaid by the Tenant, which interest will be recoverable as Additional Rent. |

The Tenant, provided that it has not been in material default more than twice during the Term and the Landlord has given written notice to the Tenant at the time of such default that the Landlord considers the Tenant to be in material default, and further provided that the Tenant is not in material default when it purports to exercise its option to renew, shall have TWO (2) options to renew the Term (the "Options to Renew") of FIVE (5) years each (the "Renewal Terms") such Options to Renew to be exercised upon not less than six (6) months' written notice to the Landlord, prior to the expiry of the Term or the Renewal Term, and such notice not to be given sooner than twelve (12) months prior to the expiry of the Term or the Renewal Term, as the case may be.

Failing such agreement, then within two (2) months prior to the commencement of the relevant Renewal Term, Basic Rent shall be determined by arbitration under the provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Act of the Province of British Columbia and in accordance with this clause and specifically, the arbitrator shall apply the criteria as set out above, provided that the Basic Rent payable shall not in any case be less than that payable by the Tenant during the last year of the Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be. |

The Landlord shall provide its written approval (or explanation why such approval is not forthcoming) to the Tenant with ten (10) business days of receiving the drawings and specifications. If such approval or explanation is not received by the Tenant within such time period, then the Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Tenant's Work. All Tenant's Work shall be undertaken by contractors and subcontractors acceptable to the Landlord, acting reasonably, and whom the Tenant shall cause to carry adequate liability insurance to such limits as the Landlord shall stipulate, acting reasonably. |
||
Subject to applicable bylaws and approvals, the Tenant shall be permitted to construct, on the roof of the Building, a roof deck (the "Deck") and a mechanical room for its HVAC requirements (the "HVAC Room"), at the Tenant's sole cost and expense, provided the Tenant will be solely responsible to ensure the structure of the Building supports the Deck and HVAC Room, and the Tenant agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Landlord from any costs or expenses howsoever arising from the construction of the Deck and HVAC Room and access thereto. The location and area of the Deck and HVAC Room is subject to Tenant and Landlord approval, acting reasonably.
