not the Landlord has, with respect to the same or another Event of Default,
previously elected or pursued a right or remedy which is inconsistent with
termination of this Lease;
(ii) to enter the Premises as agent of the Tenant and to relet the
Premises for whatever term, and on such terms as the Landlord in its discretion
may determine and to receive the Rent therefor and as agent of the Tenant to
take possession of any property of the Tenant on the Premises, to store such
property at the expense and risk of the Tenant or to sell or otherwise dispose
of such property in such manner as the Landlord may see fit without notice to

any expenses incurred by the Landlord with respect to any such reletting or
sale; second, to the payment of any indebtedness of the Tenant to the Landlord
other than Rent, and third, to the payment of Rent in arrears; with the residue
to be held by the Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes
due and payable. The Tenant shall remain liable for any deficiency to the
Landlord. If any reletting extends for a period beyond the end of the Term, such
reletting shall not constitute a termination of this
Lease, but a reletting as agent of the Tenant up to the end of the Term and a
letting thereafter by the Landlord for its own account;
(iii) to recover from the Tenant all damages, and expenses incurred by
the Landlord as a result of any breach by the Tenant including, if the Landlord

this Lease for the account of the Tenant and to enter upon the Premises for such
purposes. No notice of the Landlord's intention to perform such covenants need

Rent together with the next 3 month's installments of Rent, all of which shall
immediately become due and payable as accelerated rent.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or any provision of applicable
legislation, none of the goods and chattels of the Tenant on the Premises at any
time during the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for Rent in arrears,
and the Tenant waives any such exemption. If the Landlord makes any claim
against the goods and chattels of the Tenant by way of distress, this provision
may be pleaded as an estoppel against the Tenant in any action brought to test
the right of the Landlord to levy such distress.

(including, without limitation, all legal fees on a solicitor and his client
basis) incurred by the Landlord in enforcing or interpreting the terms of this

Tenant under this Lease, or in respect of which the Tenant has agreed to insure,
or to indemnify the Landlord. Landlord has sole discretion, subject to
arbitration.
Section 29: Survival of Obligations
If the Tenant has failed to fulfill its obligations under this Lease with
respect to the payment of Rent or the removal of improvements and fixtures from
the Premises at the end of the Term, such obligations and the Landlord's rights
in respect thereto shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
expiration, surrender or sooner termination of the Term.

rights under this Lease to any and all such Mortgages and to all advances made
under such Mortgages, provided however, the Landlord has obtained a
non-disturbance agreement in favour of the Tenant. The form of such
subordination shall be mutually agreeable to the Landlord and Tenant.

deliver in a form supplied by the Landlord a statement or estoppel certificate
to the Landlord as to the status of this Lease, including as to whether this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect; the amount of Rent then being
paid; and any other matters pertaining to this Lease as to which the Landlord
shall request such statement or certificate, provided that in no event does such
estoppel certificate adversely affect in any way the rights of the Tenant or its
security of tenure.

The Tenant shall comply with all Rules and Regulations, and amendments thereto,
adopted by the Landlord from time to time. Such Rules and Regulations may
differentiate between different types of businesses in the Building, and the
