in Toronto, Canada, and having a local
office at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ - ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇.
in the CITY
of CALGARY, PROVINCE OF ALBERTA
(hereinafter called the "Landlord")
OF THE FIRST PART,
--- and ---
▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ INTERACTIVE CAFE CORP.
having an office at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇
▇▇▇ - ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. ▇.▇.
in the City
of CALGARY, PROVINCE OF ALBERTA
(hereinafter called the "Tenant")
OF THE SECOND PART,
In consideration of the rents, covenants and agreements hereinafter
contained, the Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows.
1. LEASED PREMISES
LEASED PREMISES
The Landlord does demise and lease to the Tenant the premises (the
"Leased Premises") located in a building (the "Building") having a municipal
address of ▇▇▇ - ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇. , in the CITY OF CALGARY, PROVINCE OF ALBERTA
and known as MANULIFE HOUSE
(the Leased Premises, the Building, together with the lands described in
Schedule "A" attached hereto and present and future improvements, additions and
changes thereto being herein called the "Property"), the Leased Premises
consisting of approximately TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY square feet
rentable (2,880 s.f.r.) on the FIFTH (5th) floor -- as outlined in red on the
plan or plans marked Schedule "B" attached hereto, excluding the exterior
surfaces of the exterior walls of the Leased Premises.
2. TERM
TERM
(a) TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Leased Premises for and during the term of Five (5)
years and zero (0) days/months (the "Term") to be computed from the 1st day of
MAY, 1997, and to be fully complete and ended on the 30th day of APRIL, 2002,
unless otherwise terminated.
DELAY IN OCCUPANCY
(b) If the Leased Premises or any part thereof are not ready for occupancy on
the date of commencement of the Term, no part of the "Rent" (as hereinafter
defined) or only a proportionate part thereof, in the event that the Tenant
shall occupy a part of the Leased Premises, shall be payable for the period
prior to the date when the entire Leased Premises are ready for occupancy and
the full Rent shall accrue only after such last mentioned date. The Tenant
agrees to accept any such abatement of Rent in full settlement of all claims
which the Tenant might otherwise have by reason of the Leased Premises not being
ready for occupancy on the date of commencement of the
INITIAL

Term, provided that when the Landlord has completed construction of such part of
the Leased Premises as it is obliged hereunder to construct, the Tenant shall
not be entitled to any abatement of Rent for any delay in occupancy due to the
Tenant's failure or delay to provide plans or to complete any special
installations or other work required for its purposes or due to any other
reason, nor shall the Tenant be entitled to any abatement of Rent for any delay
in occupancy if the Landlord has been unable to complete construction of the
Leased Premises by reason of such failure or delay by the Tenant. A certificate
of the Landlord as to the date the Leased Premises were ready for occupancy and
such construction as the Landlord is obliged to complete is substantially
completed, or as to the date upon which the same would have been ready for
occupancy and completed respectively but for the failure or delay of the Tenant,
shall be conclusive and binding on the Tenant and Rent in full shall accrue and
become payable from the date set out in the said certificate. Notwithstanding
any delay in occupancy, the expiry date of this Lease shall remain unchanged.

(c) If at the expiration of the Term or sooner termination hereof, the Tenant
shall remain in possession without any further written agreement or in
circumstances where a tenancy would thereby be created by implication of law or
otherwise, a tenancy from year to year shall not be created by implication of
law or otherwise, but the Tenant shall be deemed to be a monthly tenant only, at
double "Basic Rent" (as hereinafter defined) payable monthly in advance plus
"Additional Rent" (as hereinafter defined) and otherwise upon and subject to the
same terms and conditions as herein contained, excepting provisions for renewal
(if any) and leasehold improvement allowance (if any), contained herein, and
nothing, including the acceptance of any Rent by the Landlord, for periods other
than monthly periods, shall extend this Lease to the contrary except an
agreement in writing between the Landlord and the Tenant and the Tenant hereby
authorizes the Landlord to apply any moneys received from the Tenant in payment
of such monthly Rent.
3. RENT
BASIC RENT
(a) The Tenant shall without deduction or right of offset pay to the Landlord
yearly and every year during the Term as rental (herein called "Basic Rent"),
the sum of FOURTEEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED Dollars ($14,400.00) of lawful money
of the jurisdiction in which the Leased Premises are located, in equal monthly
installments of ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED Dollars ($1,200.00 ) each in advance on
the first day of each month during the Term, the first payment to be made on the
first day of MAY, 1997.
ADDITIONAL RENT
(b) The Tenant shall, without deduction or right of offset pay to the Landlord
yearly and every year during the Term as additional rental (herein called
"Additional Rent")
(i) the amounts of any Taxes payable by the Tenant to the Landlord
pursuant to the provisions of Schedule "C" attached hereto;
and
(ii) the amounts required to be paid to the Landlord pursuant to
the provisions of Schedule "D" attached hereto.
PAYMENT - ADDITIONAL RENT
(c) Additional Rent shall be paid and adjusted with reference to a fiscal period
of twelve (12) calendar months ("Fiscal Period"), which shall be a calendar year
unless the Landlord shall from time to time have selected a Fiscal Period which
is not a calendar year by written notice to the Tenant.
The Landlord shall advise the Tenant in writing of its estimate of the
Additional Rent to be payable by the Tenant during the Fiscal Period (or broken
portion of the Fiscal Period, as the case may be, if applicable at the
commencement or end of the term or because of a change in Fiscal Period) which
commenced upon the commencement date of the Term and for each succeeding Fiscal
Period or broken portion thereof which commences during the Term. Such estimate
shall in every case be a reasonable estimate and, if requested by the Tenant,
shall be accompanied by reasonable particulars of the manner in which it was
calculated. The Additional Rent payable by the Tenant shall be paid in equal
monthly installments in advance at the same time as payment of Basic Rent is due
hereunder based on the Landlord's estimate as aforesaid. From time to time, the
Landlord may re-estimate, on a reasonable basis, the amount of Additional Rent
for any Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof, in which case the Landlord
shall advise the Tenant in writing of such re-estimate and fix new equal monthly
installments for the remaining balance of such Fiscal Period or broken portion
thereof. After the end of each such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof

the Landlord shall submit to the Tenant a statement of the actual Additional
Rent payable in respect of such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof and a
calculation of the amounts by which the Additional Rent payable by the Tenant
exceeds or is less than (as the case may be) the aggregate installments paid by
the Tenant on account of Additional Rent for such Fiscal Period.
Within thirty (30) days after the submission 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 or broken portion
thereof exceeds the aggregate of the monthly payments made by it on account
thereof during such Fiscal Period or broken portion 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.
ACCRUAL OF RENT
(d) Basic Rent and Additional Rent (herein collectively called "Rent") shall be
considered as accruing from day to day, and Rent for an irregular period of less
than one year or less than one calendar month shall be apportioned and adjusted
by the Landlord for the Fiscal Periods of the Landlord in which the tenancy
created hereby commences and expires. Where the calculation of Additional Rent
for a period cannot be made until after the termination of this Lease, the
obligation of the Tenant to pay Additional Rent shall survive the termination
hereof and Additional Rent for such period shall be payable by the Tenant upon
demand by the Landlord. If the Term commences or expires on any day other
than the first or the last day of a month, Rent for such fraction of a month
shall be apportioned and adjusted as aforesaid and paid by the Tenant on the
commencement date of the Term.
RECOVERY OF RENT
(e) Rent and any other amounts required to be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord
under this Lease shall be deemed to be and be treated as rent and payable and
recoverable as rent, and the Landlord shall have all rights against the Tenant
for default in any payment of rent and other amounts as in the case of arrears
in rent.
LIMITATIONS
(f) The information set out in statements, documents or other writings setting
out the amount of Additional Rent submitted to the Tenant under or pursuant to
this Lease shall be binding on the Tenant and deemed to be accepted by it and
shall not be subject to amendment for any reason unless the Tenant gives written
notice to the Landlord within sixty (60) days of the Landlord's submission of
such statement, document, or writing identifying the statement, document, or
writing and setting out in reasonable detail the reason why such statement,
document or writing should not be binding on the Tenant.
4. SECURITY DEPOSIT
SECURITY DEPOSIT
The Tenant has paid to the Landlord the sum of TWO THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED
FORTY-THREE Dollars FORTY-EIGHT Cents ($2,743.48 ) as a deposit to the Landlord
to stand as security for the payment by the Tenant of any and all present and
future debts and liabilities of the Tenant to the Landlord and for the
performance by the Tenant of all of its obligations arising under or in
connection with this Lease (the "Debts, Liabilities and Obligations"). The
Landlord shall not be required to keep the deposit separate from its general
funds. In the event of the Landlord disposing of its Interest in this Lease, the
Landlord shall credit the deposit to its successor and thereupon shall have no
liability to the Tenant to repay the security deposit to the Tenant. Subject to
the foregoing and to the Tenant not being in default under this Lease, the

this paragraph but for the exclusion therefrom of defects not sufficient to
impair the Tenant's use of the Leased Premises while using them in a manner
consistent with this Lease. The Landlord may enter the Leased Premises at all
reasonable times and view the condition thereof and the Tenant covenants with
the Landlord to repair, maintain and keep the Leased Premises in good and
substantial repair according to notice in writing, reasonable wear and tear
excepted. If the Tenant shall fail to repair as aforesaid after reasonable

if the damage is such that the Leased Premises or any
substantial part thereof is rendered not reasonably capable of
use and occupancy by the Tenant for the purposes of its
business for any period of time in excess of ten (10) days,
then
(1) unless the damage was caused by the fault or
negligence of the Tenant or its employees, agents,
invitees or others under its control, from the date
of occurrence of the damage and until the Leased
Premises are again reasonably capable for use and
occupancy as aforesaid, the Rent payable pursuant to
this Lease shall ▇▇▇▇▇ from time to time in
proportion to the part or parts of the Leased
Premises not reasonably capable of such use and
occupancy, and
(2) unless this Lease is terminated as hereinafter
provided, the Landlord or the Tenant as the case may
be (according to the nature of the damage and their
respective obligations to repair as provided in
sub-paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this paragraph)
shall repair such damage with all reasonable
diligence, but to the extent that any part of the
Leased Premises is not reasonably capable of such use
and occupancy by reason of damage which the Tenant is
obligated to repair hereunder, any abatement of Rent
to which the Tenant would otherwise be entitled
hereunder shall not extend later than the time by
which, in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord,
repairs by the Tenant ought to have been completed
with reasonable diligence; and
(ii) if the Leased Premises are substantially damaged or destroyed
by any cause and if in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord
given in writing within thirty (30) days of the occurrence the
damage cannot reasonably be repaired within one hundred and
eighty (180) days after the occurrence thereof, then the
Lease shall terminate, in which event neither the Landlord nor
the Tenant shall be bound to repair as provided in
sub-paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this paragraph, and the
Tenant shall instead deliver up possession of the Leased
Premises to the Landlord with reasonable expedition and Rent
shall be apportioned and paid to the date of the occurrence;
and
(iii) if premises whether of the Tenant or other tenants of the
Property comprising in the aggregate half or more of the total
number of square feet of rentable office area in the Property
or half or more of the total number of square feet of rentable
office area in Building (as determined by the Landlord) or
portions of the Property which affect access or services
essential thereto, are substantially damaged or destroyed by
any cause and if in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord the
damage cannot reasonably be repaired within one hundred and
eighty (180) days after the occurrence thereof, then the
Landlord may, by written notice to the Tenant given within
thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage or
destruction, terminate this Lease, in which event neither the
Landlord nor the Tenant shall be bound to repair as provided
in sub-paragraphs (a) (b) and (c) of this

9. INSURANCE AND LIABILITY
LANDLORD'S INSURANCE
(a) The Landlord shall take out and keep in force during the Term insurance with
respect to the Property except for the "Leasehold Improvements" (as hereinafter
defined) in the Leased Premises. The insurance to be maintained by the Landlord

from time to time are insurable at a reasonable premium and which are normally
insured by reasonable prudent owners of properties similar to the Property, all
as from time to time determined at reasonable intervals by insurance advisors
selected by the Landlord, and whose opinion shall be conclusive. Unless and
until the insurance advisors shall state that any such perils are not
customarily insured against by owners of properties similar to the Property, the
perils to be insured against by the Landlord shall include, without limitation,
public liability, boilers and machinery, fire and extended perils and may
include at the option of the Landlord losses suffered by the Landlord in its
capacity as Landlord through business interruption. The insurance to be
maintained by the Landlord shall contain a waiver by the insurer of any rights
of subrogation or indemnity or any other claim over which the insurer might
otherwise be entitled against the Tenant or the agents or employees of the
Tenant.
TENANT'S INSURANCE
(b) The Tenant shall take out and keep in force during the Term:
(i) comprehensive general public liability insurance all on an
occurrence basis with respect to the business carried on in or
from the Leased Premises and the Tenant's use and occupancy of
the Leased Premises and of any other part of the Property,
with coverage for any one occurrence or claim of not less than
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or such other amount as the
Landlord may reasonably require upon not less than one (1)
month notice at any time during the Term, which insurance
shall include the Landlord as a named insured and shall
protect the Landlord in respect of claims by the Tenant as if
the Landlord were separately insured,
(ii) insurance in respect of fire and such other perils as are from
time to time in the usual extended coverage endorsement
covering the Leasehold Improvements, trade fixtures, and the
furniture and equipment in the Leased Premises for not less
than 80% of the full replacement cost thereof, and which
insurance shall include the Landlord as a named insured as the
Landlord's interest may appear, and
(iii) Insurance against such other perils and in such amounts as the
Landlord may from time to time reasonably require upon not
less than ninety (90) days' written notice, such requirement
to be made on the basis that the required insurance is
customary at the time for prudent tenants of properties
similar to the Property.
All insurance required to be maintained by the Tenant shall be on terms and with
insurers satisfactory to the Landlord. Each policy shall contain a waiver by the

Tenant, or any previous occupant of the Leased Premises, in the Leased Premises
and by or on behalf of other tenants in other premises in the Building
(including the Landlord if an occupant of the Building), including all
partitions, doors and hardware however affixed, and whether or not movable, all
mechanical, electrical and utility installations and all carpeting and drapes
with the exception only of furniture and equipment not of the nature of

INSTALLATION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND FIXTURES
2. The Tenant shall not make, erect, install or alter any Leasehold
Improvements in the Leased Premises without having requested and obtained the
Landlord's prior written approval. The Landlord's approval shall not, if given,
under any circumstances be construed as consent to the Landlord having its
estate charged with the cost of work. The Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold its approval to any such request, but failure to comply with the
Landlord's reasonable requirements from time to time for the Building shall be
considered sufficient reason for refusal. In making, erecting, installing or
altering any leasehold Improvements the Tenant shall not, without the prior
written approval of the Landlord, alter or interfere with any installations
which have been made by the Landlord or others and in no event shall alter or
interfere with window coverings (if any) or other light control devices (if
any) installed in the Building. The Tenant's request for any approval hereunder
shall be in writing and accompanied by an adequate description of the
contemplated work and, where appropriate, working drawings and specifications
thereof. If the Tenant requires from the Landlord drawings or specifications of
the Building in connection with leasehold Improvements, the Tenant shall pay
the cost thereof to the Landlord on demand. Any reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Landlord in connection with the Tenant's Leasehold Improvements
shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord on demand. All work to be performed
in the Leased Premises shall be performed by competent contractors and
sub-contractors of whom the Landlord shall have approved in writing prior to
commencement of any work, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (except
that the Landlord may require that the Landlord's contractors and
sub-contractors be engaged for any mechanical or electrical work) and by
workmen who have labor union affiliations that are compatible with those
affiliations (if any) of workmen employed by the Landlord and its contractors
and sub-contractors. All such work including the delivery, storage and removal
of materials shall be subject to the reasonable supervision of the Landlord,
shall be performed in accordance with any reasonable conditions or regulations
imposed by the Landlord including, without limitation, payment on demand of a
reasonable fee of the Landlord for such supervision, and shall be completed in
good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the description of the work
approved by the Landlord and in accordance with all laws, regulations and
by-laws of all regulatory authorities. Copies of required building permits or
authorizations shall be obtained by the Tenant at its expense and copies
thereof shall be provided to the Landlord. No locks shall be installed on the
entrance doors or in any doors in the Leased Premises that are not keyed to the
Building master key system.
LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES ON IMPROVEMENTS
AND FIXTURES
3. In connection with the making, erection, installation or alteration of
leasehold Improvements and all other work or installations made by or for the
Tenant in the Leased Premises the Tenant shall comply with all the provisions
of the mechanics' lien and other similar statutes from time to time applicable
thereto (including any proviso requiring or enabling the retention by way of
holdback of portions of any sums payable) and, except as to any such holdback,
shall promptly pay all accounts relating thereto. The Tenant will not create
any mortgage, conditional sale agreement or other encumbrance in respect of its
Leasehold Improvements or, without the written consent of the Landlord, with
respect to its trade fixtures nor shall the Tenant take any action as a
consequence of which any such mortgage, conditional sale agreement or other
encumbrance would attach to the Property or any part thereof. If and whenever
any mechanics' or other lien for work, labor, services or materials supplied to
or for the Tenant or for the cost of which the Tenant may be in any way liable
or claims therefor shall arise or be filed or any such mortgage, conditional
sale agreement or other encumbrance shall attach, the Tenant shall within
