The subsequent acceptance of the Rent or any portion hereunder by the Landlord will not be deemed to be a waiver of a preceding breach by the Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease other than the failure of the Tenant to pay the particular amount of the Rent so accepted, regardless of the Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such amount of the Rent.

10.8 Interest

ARTICLE 11

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION/EXPROPRIATION

11.1 Damage and Destruction

The Landlord and the Tenant agree that:

(a) if all or any part of the Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty and all or a portion of the Premises is rendered unusable by the Tenant (as determined by the tenant, acting reasonably and in good faith), then Rent will xxxxx, in the proportion that that part of the Premises which is rendered unusable bears to the whole of the Premises.;

(b) except as provided in Subsection 11.1(c), if the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty insured against by the Landlord or for the Landlord’s benefit, the damage to the Premises will be repaired by the Landlord at its expense except that repairs to installations, alterations, additions, partitions, improvements and fixtures made by or on behalf of the Tenant or any part thereof will be performed by the Tenant. All repairs which the Landlord is required to make under this Subsection 11.1(b) will be made with due diligence, provided that the Landlord will not be liable to the Tenant for any loss or damage suffered by the Tenant as a result of any delay which may arise by reason of adjustment of insurance on the part of the Landlord or on account of labour troubles or any other cause beyond the Landlord’s control; and

(c) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord will have no obligation to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises or the Building if any of the following occurs:

(i) the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty to the extent that it cannot reasonably be repaired or rebuilt within 180 days after the occurrence of such damage;

(ii) the holder of any mortgage or security agreement encumbering the Premises elects not to permit the insurance proceeds payable upon damage to or destruction of the Building or Premises to be used for such repair, reconstruction or restoration;

(iii) the damage or destruction is not fully covered by insurance maintained by the Landlord or for the Landlord’s benefit; or

(iv) the damage or destruction occurs during the last 24 months of the initial Term or any extension or renewal thereof.

If the Landlord decides not to restore the Building, the Landlord will, within 90 days after the happening of such fire or other casualty, give to the Tenant a notice in writing of such decision and the Term and any extension thereof will expire forthwith and the Tenant will vacate the Premises and surrender them to the Landlord within 90 days of receiving such notice. If the Building is damaged to the extent set out above and the Landlord does not give notice of a decision not to restore, the Landlord will diligently proceed to repair the Building to the extent set out in Subsection 11.1(b). Upon the termination of this Lease by the Landlord as provided in this Subsection 11.1(c), the Tenant’s liability for the Rent will cease as of the day following the fire or casualty.

17

11.2 Expropriation

It the Premises will be acquired or condemned by an authority having the power for such acquisition or condemnation then the Term and any extension thereof will cease from the date of entry by such authority. Nothing in this Lease will prevent the Landlord or the Tenant or both from recovering damages from such authority for the value of their respective interests or for such other damages and expenses allowed by law.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 No Warranties

No representations, warranties, agreements or conditions have been made to or for the Landlord or the Tenant other than those expressed herein, and no agreement collateral to this Lease will be binding upon the Landlord or the Tenant unless it is made in writing and duly executed by the Landlord and the Tenant.

12.2 Notices

Any notice, demand, request, consent, invoice, objection or other instrument which may be or is required to be given under this Lease will be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by e-mail (except that cheques and other documents requiring an original signature by law may not be sent by email), and will be addressed, if to the Landlord, to the address set out in Paragraph 1.1(a)(ii) and, if sent by email, to the email address set out in Paragraph 1.1(a)(iii) and, if to the Tenant, to the Premises or, at the Landlord’s option, to the address set out in Paragraph 1.1(b)(ii) (if different) or to the Tenant’s registered office in Alberta or in any other jurisdiction and, if sent by email, to the email address set out in Paragraph 1.1(b)(iii). In the event of a postal disruption, any notice will only be delivered personally or sent by email.

Any such notice will be conclusively deemed to have been given or made on the day on which such notice is delivered or, if sent by registered mail, then 72 hours following the date of mailing or, if sent by email, on the date the email was transmitted.

Either party may from time to time give written notice to the other (in the manner provided in this Section 12.2) of any change of address or email address of the party giving such notice and, from and after the giving of such notice, the address or email address therein specified will be deemed to be the address or email address of such party for the purpose of giving notice hereunder.

12.3 Overholding

If the Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Term or any extension thereof and the Landlord accepts Rent or any portion thereof, the new tenancy thereby created will be deemed a monthly tenancy and not a yearly tenancy and will be subject to the covenants and conditions contained in this Lease insofar as they are applicable to a monthly tenancy, except that the monthly instalments of Annual Basic Rent will be 150% of the monthly instalments of Annual Basic Rent payable for the last month of the Term or any extension thereof. In the future event that a replacement lease shall subsequently come into effect, any excess rental paid by the Tenant to the Landlord in pursuant of this Section 12.3 shall be adjusted in accordance with such replacement lease for the commencement date thereof and an appropriate adjusting payment shall be made by the Landlord to the Tenant.

18

12.4 Continuation of Obligations

This Lease and the obligations of the Tenant under it will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any change in the person or persons comprising the Landlord.

12.5 Assignment by Landlord

If there is a sale, lease or other disposition by the Landlord of the Premises or any part thereof, or the assignment by the Landlord of this Lease or any interest of the Landlord hereunder, and to the extent that the purchaser or assignee assumes the covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder, the Landlord will, thereupon and without further agreement, be relieved of all further liability with respect to its covenants and obligations.

12.6 Caveat

The Tenant shall be permitted to register a caveat in respect of this lease against title to the Premises provided no financial terms of this Lease are disclosed on said caveat. Such caveat shall be removed by the Tenant within a reasonable time after the Tenant vacates the Premises.

12.7 Acknowledgement re Condominium Unit

The provisions contained in this Lease shall be subject to and deemed to be modified as required to reflect the fact that the Premises comprise a unit in a condominium of which the Landlord is an owner and that certain payments and obligations of the Landlord may in fact be made or performed by the Condominium Corporation, notwithstanding which, the Landlord shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligations hereunder. It is further understood that certain payments and obligations of the Tenant may in fact be made or performed by the Condominium Corporation and that the costs of the same may be included in the monthly condominium fees rather than charged to the Tenant under certain other Additional Rent provisions found in this Lease. Accordingly, it is agreed that the Additional Rent charged to the Tenant under this Lease shall be without duplication with respect to utilities or services supplied by the Condominium Corporation and paid for by the Tenant by way of condominium fees and charged to the Tenant as Operating Costs.
