Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prevent the Landlord from restricting the Tenant’s use of Common Areas that are not required for ingress to or egress from the Premises or for use of the Premises if certain Common Areas are only provided or made available to a certain sub-set of occupants at the Building, provided that the Landlord shall not arbitrarily discriminate against the Tenant and shall permit the Tenant to use those Common Areas generally made available to other tenants or users of the Landlord Premises with other commercialization uses. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Lease constitutes a sub-sub-sublease and is subject and subordinate to the Master Leases. |

The rentable area of the Premises shall be measured by an independent certified space measurer at Landlord’s cost in accordance with the Measurement Standard within six (6) months of the Commencement Date. The rentable area shall be amended in accordance with such measurement, the parties making any necessary adjustments to Rent paid to date to reflect the proper rentable area, and the Premises shall not be re- measured thereafter unless the physical dimensions of the Premises are altered, in which case they shall be remeasured in accordance with the Measurement Standard.
2.2 | Term and Renewal and Termination Rights. |

The Landlord is responsible for ensuring the Landlord’s Work meets the timelines required by the Design Summary Chart and thus ensuring that Tenant is able to comply with the manufacturing commitments made with third party customers by the Tenant in memoranda of understanding, letters of intent, or commercial agreements. The Commencement Date will be five days following satisfaction of the Turnover Condition, provided that the following have been delivered to the Tenant by the Landlord prior to the date thereof: i) Landlord has provided the written consent, recognition and non-disturbance agreement executed by any other Person that may be required to allow the Tenant’s uses as set out in this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.3 below, including the Master Lease NDAs (as hereinafter defined); ii) the parties have signed the Service Agreement by September 1, 2021; and iii) the Landlord and Tenant have confirmed that there are no known Material Deficiencies in the Landlord’s Work (collectively, the “Preconditions”).

(b) | The Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon not less than twelve (12) months prior written notice to the Landlord (the “Termination Right”). If the Tenant exercises the Termination Right and the termination date is any time on or after the 5th anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Right shall be without penalty and without the obligation to pay any additional amounts to the Landlord. Where the Tenant exercises its Termination Right and pursuant thereto the Lease terminates prior to the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date, then the Tenant shall pay to Landlord an annual amount equal to $11.00 per square foot of the Premises calculated on a per month basis and multiplied by the lesser of i) the number of months remaining until ten (10) complete years have elapsed since the Commencement Date; and ii) the number of months before the Landlord relets the total Premises to another tenant, the Landlord covenanting to use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises to another tenant following such termination. |
(c) | Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of the Lease with respect to the Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.2(c). |
12
(i) | Tenant may extend the Term of the Lease for a single extension term of five (5) years (the “Extension Term”) by delivering written notice of such extension to Landlord no earlier than eighteen (18) months and no later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the original Term. Such Extension Term shall commence immediately upon the expiration of the original Term and upon exercise of any such extension option the “Expiration Date” of the Term shall automatically become the last day of the Extension Term. |
(ii) | Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be the Extension Fair Market Rate (hereinafter defined) multiplied by the rentable square feet in the Premises as of the commencement date of the Extension Term. For purposes hereof “Extension Fair Market Rate” means the fair market rental rate per square foot of rentable area that would be agreed upon between a landlord and a tenant for a comparable lease extension for comparable space in a comparable laboratory and research and development building as to location, quality, age and reputation and a comparable term, assuming or taking into consideration all then relevant factors. |
(iii) | Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord receives notice from Tenant that Tenant is exercising the extension option, Landlord shall send written notice to Tenant specifying the Extension Fair Market Rate as determined by Landlord and, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s acceptance or challenge of Landlord’s determination of the Extension Fair Market Rate; provided, however, that if Tenant fails to respond within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to not have accepted Landlord’s determination of the Extension Fair Market Rate, and Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to reach an agreement as to the Extension Fair Market Rate within thirty (30) days after the latter of the aforementioned fifteen (15) day periods. Unless Landlord and Tenant agree in writing upon the Extension Fair Market Rate, Landlord and Tenant shall not be deemed to have agreed upon the Extension Fair Market Rate. |
(iv) | If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Extension Fair Market Rate within the aforementioned time period, then within thirty (30) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the other their written statement of the Extension Fair Market Rate and any supporting documentation that the submitting party desires to deliver. Within ten (10) days after such thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall appoint a real estate broker having a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience in the Hamilton/Greater Xxxxxxxx/Toronto Area commercial or life sciences leasing market who shall select either Landlord’s determination or Tenant’s determination, whichever the broker finds more accurately reflects the Extension Fair Market Rate. The broker shall be instructed to notify Landlord and Tenant of such selection within ten (10) days after such broker’s appointment. The broker shall have no power or authority to select any Extension Fair Market Value other than an Extension Fair Market Value |
13

If Landlord and Tenant are unable to timely agree upon the appointment of the broker, Landlord shall submit to Tenant the names of three (3) qualified brokers who have not been employed by Landlord or its affiliates during the then past two (2) years and Tenant shall have ten (10) days after receiving such names to notify Landlord of which of the three (3) brokers Tenant selects to determine the Extension Fair Market Rate. If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord of Tenant’s selection, Landlord shall have the right to unilaterally appoint the broker. The fee and expenses of the broker shall be split equally by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Extension Fair Market Rate within the aforementioned time period, then within thirty (30) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the other their written statement of the Extension Fair Market Rate and any supporting documentation that the submitting party desires to deliver. Within ten (10) days after such thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall appoint a real estate broker having a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience in the Hamilton/Greater Xxxxxxxx/Toronto Area commercial or life sciences leasing market who shall select either Landlord’s determination or Tenant’s determination, whichever the broker finds more accurately reflects the Extension Fair Market Rate.

The broker shall have no power or authority to select any Extension Fair Market Value other than an Extension Fair Market Value submitted by Landlord or Tenant or to modify any of the provisions of this Lease, and the decision of the third arbitrator shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to timely agree upon the appointment of the broker, Landlord shall submit to Tenant the names of three (3) qualified brokers who have not been employed by Landlord or its affiliates during the then past two (2) years and Tenant shall have ten (10) days after receiving such names to notify Landlord of which of the three (3) brokers Tenant selects to determine the Extension Fair Market Rate. If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord of Tenant’s selection, Landlord shall have the right to unilaterally appoint the broker. The fee and expenses of the broker shall be split equally by Landlord and Tenant. |
(v) | Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.2(c), Tenant’s lease of the Premises for the Extension Term shall be upon the same terms and conditions as are applicable immediately prior to the expiration of the original Term, except that Tenant will not have any further right to extend the Term of the Lease beyond the Extension Term. Until the Extension Fair Market Rate is settled or determined, and provided the Tenant has duly elected to exercise the Extension Term as aforesaid, the Tenant shall continue to pay Gross Rent at the rate existing at the end of the Initial Term, to be adjusted within fifteen (15) days following settlement or determination of the Extension Fair Market Rate. |

Once Material Deficiencies and punch-list items are adequately resolved to achieve Substantial Performance, a representative of the Landlord and Tenant will execute an agreement or acknowledgement confirming the Turnover Condition has been satisfied and the facility can be safely occupied.
28
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Landlord does not provide the Tenant with possession of the Premises in accordance with the Turnover Condition by the Anticipated Premises Delivery Date, subject to delay caused by Force Majeure or any Tenant Delay (as hereinafter defined), and subject to any extension or revised Anticipated Premises Delivery Date pursuant to Schedule “K”, the Tenant shall be entitled to one (1) Rent-free day in respect of the Premises for each one (1) day thereafter that the Turnover Condition has not been satisfied. In addition, if the Turnover Condition is not satisfied by the Anticipated Premises Delivery Date for any reason, including due to Force Majeure, all relevant dates, including the commencement of the Fixturing Period, Commencement Date, expiration of the Term and all other relevant dates shall be delayed for the same number of days as satisfaction of the Turnover Condition is delayed from the Anticipated Premises Delivery Date.
Subject to Force Majeure, any Tenant Delays and subject to any extension or revised Anticipated Premises Delivery Date pursuant to Schedule “K”, if the Turnover Condition is not satisfied within six (6) months of the Anticipated Premises Delivery Date, the Tenant shall be permitted to terminate this Lease by notice to the Landlord. If for any reason, including due to Force Majeure, the Turnover Condition is not satisfied within one (1) year of the Anticipated Premises Delivery Date, the Tenant shall be permitted to terminate this Lease by notice to the Landlord.
For purposes hereof, “Tenant Delay(s)” shall mean and be limited to any actual delay (day for day) in the design, performance or progress of Landlord’s Work beyond the Anticipated Premises Delivery Date to the extent not caused by Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors and which cannot reasonably be mitigated by Landlord at no additional cost to Landlord in good faith, using reasonable diligence, if and to the extent resulting from any of the following:
(i) any changes or change order requested by Tenant to the Landlord’s Work (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any items requested by Tenant to correct any error, omission, noncompliance or deficiency in Landlord’s Work, all of which Landlord shall correct at no additional cost to Tenant without the same constituting Tenant Delay(s)), unless the error, omission, non-compliance or deficiency was caused by the Tenant or found not to exist); or
(ii) any other delays based upon acts or, where there is an obligation of Tenant to act under this Lease, omissions to the extent the same actually delay the Landlord’s Work, and which are caused by Tenant, Tenant’s contractors, architects, engineers or anyone else engaged by Tenant in connection with the preparation of the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, including, without limitation, vendors or contractors furnishing communications, data processing or other service, equipment, or furniture.
In calculating the duration of any Tenant Delay, such duration shall be based upon the actual number of days of delay to Landlord’s Work beyond the Anticipated Premises Delivery Date if and to the extent attributable to the causes described above. In order to invoke Tenant Delay, Landlord must advise Tenant in writing of the alleged Tenant Delay reasonably promptly after Landlord becomes aware thereof but in any event not later than 10 business days after Landlord becomes aware thereof. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of any Tenant Delay.
29

9.2 | Damage to Premises. If the Building, including the Premises, is at any time destroyed or damaged as a result of fire or any other casualty, then the following provisions shall apply: |
(a) | if one-half or less of the area of the Premises is rendered untenantable, the Landlord shall diligently repair it (excluding any Leasehold Improvements but including Landlord’s Work) and Gross Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx proportionately to the portion of the Building rendered untenantable from the date of destruction or damage until the Landlord’s repairs have been completed; |
(b) | if more than one-half of the area of the Premises is rendered untenantable, the Landlord shall diligently repair it (excluding the Leasehold Improvements) and Gross Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx entirely from the date of destruction or damage until the Landlord’s repairs have been completed; |
(c) | if the Premises is not rendered untenantable in whole or in part, the Landlord shall diligently perform such repairs to it (excluding the Leasehold Improvements), but in such circumstances Gross Rent and Additional Rent shall not terminate or xxxxx; |
(d) | upon being notified by the Landlord that the Landlord’s repairs have been substantially completed, the Tenant shall diligently perform all repairs to the Premises which are the Tenant’s responsibility under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 (including the installation of Leasehold Improvements) and all other work required to fully restore the Premises for use in the Tenant’s business, in every case at the Tenant’s cost and without any contribution to such cost by the Landlord, whether or not the Landlord has at any time made any contribution to the cost of, supply, installation or construction of Leasehold Improvements or actually supplied, installed or constructed such Leasehold Improvements; |
(e) | nothing in this Section 9.2 requires the Landlord to rebuild the Building to the condition which existed before any such damage or destruction so long as the Building, as rebuilt (prior to the Tenant’s Work under paragraph (d) above), will, subject to compliance with Applicable Laws be constructed in accordance with design specifications included in the Landlord’s Work or as otherwise agreed upon between the Landlord and the Tenant, having regard to the age of the Building at such time, and subject to the limitations on the Landlord’s obligations to restore as set out in this Section 9.2 and will include the Landlord’s Work; however, the Landlord’s obligation to rebuild the Building will, in the Landlord’s discretion, not apply if the damage or destruction occurs at any time during the last 18 months of the Term; and |
42
(f) | provided that the Landlord has complied with its insurance obligations under Section 7.5 hereof, nothing in this Section 9.2 shall require the Landlord to undertake any repairs or replacements having a cost in excess of the insurance proceeds actually received by the Landlord with respect to such damage or destruction and in the event such insurance proceeds are less than the cost of such repair or replacement, the Landlord’s obligations shall be governed in the first instance by the provisions of Section 9.2. |
9.3 | Right of Termination. Notwithstanding Section 9.2, if the damage or destruction which has occurred in or to the Building is such that in the reasonable opinion of the Architect the Premises cannot be rebuilt or made fit for the purposes of the Tenant within nine (9) months following the date that restoration of the Premises would commence, either the Landlord or the Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease on notice to the other party given within 15 days after the determination of the Architect. If any such notice of termination is given, Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such damage or destruction and the Tenant shall immediately deliver vacant possession of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease. |
9.4 | Destruction of Building. |
(a) | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if all or any portion of the Building shall be damaged or destroyed, to the extent that the estimated costs of repairing, restoring or rebuilding it shall, by the Architect’s estimate, exceed by 10% or more the proceeds of insurance available to the Landlord for the purpose of repair, restoration or rebuilding, then the Landlord may, by notice to the Tenant given within 30 days of such damage or destruction, terminate this Lease, in which event neither the Landlord nor Tenant shall be bound to repair and the Tenant shall surrender the Premises to the Landlord within 30 days after delivery of its notice of termination and Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date on which the Tenant delivers vacant possession of the Premises, subject to any abatement to which the Tenant may be entitled pursuant to Section 9.2. |
(b) | If the Landlord is entitled to, but does not elect to terminate this Lease, the Landlord shall, following such damage or destruction, diligently repair if necessary that part of the Building damaged or destroyed (exclusive of any responsibilities of the Tenant with respect to such repair). If the Landlord elects to repair the Building, the Landlord may do so in accordance with plans and specifications other than those used in the original construction of the Building provided it shall carry out all of the Landlord’s Work; however, any such construction shall be suitable for the Tenant’s use, shall comprise an area not less than the original construction and shall be of a quality equal to but not less than the original construction. |
9.5 | Architect’s Certificate. The certificate of the Architect shall bind the parties as to: |
(a) | whether or not the Premises are rendered untenantable and the percentage of the area of the Premises rendered untenantable; |
(b) | the date upon which either the Landlord’s or Tenant’s work of reconstruction or repair is completed or substantially completed and the date when the Premises are rendered tenantable; and, |
43
(c) | the state of completion of any work of the Landlord or Tenant. |
9.6 | Expropriation. If the Building or any part thereof shall be expropriated or if any material portion of the Lands shall be expropriated by any competent authority, then: |
(a) | the Landlord and the Tenant shall cooperate with each other so that the Tenant may receive such award to which it is entitled in law and so that the Landlord may receive the maximum award to which it may be entitled in law, each for all compensation arising from such expropriation including, without limitation, all compensation for the value of the Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises; and |
(b) | the Landlord shall have the option, to be exercised by written notice to the Tenant, to terminate this Lease effective on the date the expropriating authority takes possession of the whole or any portion of the Building. |
ARTICLE 10 – DEFAULT
10.1 | Default and Remedies. If and whenever: |
(a) | any Rent is in arrears and is not paid within 10 days after written demand by the Landlord specifying such default; |
(b) | the Tenant has breached any of its obligations in this Lease (other than the payment of Rent) or the Services Agreement and the Tenant fails to remedy such breach within 30 days (or such shorter period if such shorter cure period is explicitly provided in this Lease) or if such breach cannot reasonably be remedied within 30 days or such shorter period, the Tenant fails to commence to remedy and thereafter proceed diligently to remedy such breach, in each case after notice in writing from the Landlord; |
(c) | the Tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent or takes the benefit of any statute for bankrupt or insolvent debtors or makes any proposal, assignment or arrangement with its creditors, or any steps are taken or proceedings commenced by any Person for the dissolution, winding-up or other termination of the Tenant’s existence or the liquidation of its assets; |
(d) | a trustee, receiver, receiver/manager or like Person is appointed with respect to the business or assets of the Tenant; |
(e) | this Lease or any of the Tenant’s assets are taken under a writ of execution; |
(f) | any of the Landlord’s policies of insurance with respect to the Building or any part thereof are cancelled or are at risk of being cancelled solely and directly as a result of the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises (as opposed to general use for the Use permitted hereunder in the normal course) and Tenant does not cease or adjust such manner of use within two (2) Business Days after receiving written notice from Landlord; |
44
(g) | the Tenant adopts and/or uses any intellectual property of the Landlord, McMaster University or McMaster Innovation Park, without first entering into an Intellectual Property License Agreement with the Landlord and such default is not cured within two (2) Business Days after Tenant receiving notice of such default from Landlord; |
(h) | the Tenant makes an Assignment or gives security to a third party not in compliance with this Lease; |
then without prejudice to any other rights which it has pursuant to this Lease or at law, the Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, which are cumulative and not alternative:
(i) | to terminate this Lease by notice to the Tenant; |
(ii) | to enter the Premises as agent of the Tenant and to re-let the Premises for whatever term, and on such terms as the Landlord in its discretion may determine and to receive the Rent therefore 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 the Tenant; |
(iii) | to remedy or attempt to remedy any default of the Tenant under 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 be given to the Tenant unless expressly required by this Lease. The Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant for any loss or damage caused by acts of the Landlord in remedying or attempting to remedy such default and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all expenses incurred by the Landlord in connection with remedying or attempting to remedy such default; |
(iv) | 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 terminates this Lease, any deficiency between those amounts which would have been payable by the Tenant for the portion of the Term following such termination and the net amounts actually received by the Landlord during such period of time with respect to the Premises; and |
(v) | in lieu of Landlord’s rights to recover under Section 10.1(h)(iv) above, to recover from the Tenant the full amount of the current month’s Rent together with the next 3 months’ installments of Rent; all of which shall accrue on a day-to-day basis and shall immediately become due and payable as accelerated Rent. |
10.2 | Distress. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or any provision of applicable legislation, none of the goods 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 |
45
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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord covenants and agrees with the Tenant to enter into an agreement with the Tenant’s lenders, from time to time, whereby the Landlord subordinates its rights of distraint in the Tenant’s Trade Fixtures, Leasehold Improvements, equipment and inventory to those of the lender, which agreement shall be in form and content satisfactory to the Tenant’s lender. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord shall not be entitled to effect a distress against computer software, computer discs, computer programs and tapes, client lists, client and customer property (including, without limitation, computer hardware and software), personnel or employee information, and any data in the hard drives of any computers on the Premises, nor against the books, records, accounts, files, correspondences and documents found upon the Premises or any part thereof including, without limitation, all proprietary and confidential information and the Landlord hereby waives any right, statutory or otherwise, to levy a distress in that regard. |
10.3 | Costs. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord on demand all costs incurred by the Landlord, including reasonable lawyers’ fees, on a substantial indemnity basis (or full indemnity basis, if specifically stated herein), incurred by the Landlord in enforcing any of the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease. |
10.4 | Allocation of Payments. The Landlord may at its option apply sums received from the Tenant against any amounts due and payable by the Tenant under this Lease in such manner as the Landlord sees fit. |
10.5 | Survival of Obligations. All obligations of the Tenant under this Lease which remain unfulfilled at the determination of this Lease and the Landlord’s rights in respect of any failure by the Tenant to perform any of its obligations under this Lease shall survive and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. |
10.6 | Additional Rent Deemed Rent. All Additional Rent, if any, shall be deemed to be Rent and the Landlord shall have all rights against the Tenant for default in the payment of Additional Rent as for default in the payment of Gross Rent, except as otherwise herein provided. |
10.7 | Landlord’s Right To Perform. In addition to all other remedies the Landlord may have by this Lease, at law or in equity, if the Tenant does not perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Landlord may, at its option, but without any obligation, perform any of such obligations of the Tenant, after 30 days’ notice to the Tenant or in the event of an emergency, without notice, and in such event, the cost of performing any of such obligations, plus an administrative charge of 10% of such cost, shall be payable by the Tenant to the Landlord forthwith on demand, and collectable as Additional Rent. |
46
10.8 | Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding any remedy available to the Landlord under Section 10.1 prior to exercising any remedies provided for herein, the parties shall use commercially reasonable attempts to resolve the dispute or breach as follows: |
(a) | The Head of Operations of the Tenant and the AVP (Administration) and CFO of the Landlord shall discuss the nature of the dispute and attempt, within 10 days of notification of the dispute, to resolve same to the mutual satisfaction of the parties; |
(b) | If the representatives of the parties under Section 10.8 are not able to resolve the dispute or breach within the aforementioned 10 days, the CEO of the Tenant and the Vice-President (Administration) of the Landlord shall meet and attempt to resolve the dispute within 10 days; |
(c) | If the dispute or breach is not resolved under Section 10.8(a) and (b), then the parties may consider mediating the dispute with a third party neutral or arbitration of the dispute (any of which is without obligation on either party), or exercise any remedies available in this Lease or at law. |
ARTICLE 11 – STATUS STATEMENT, ATTORNMENT AND SUBORDINATION
11.1 | Status Statement. Within 10 days after written request by the Landlord, the Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord, in a form supplied by the Landlord and reasonably satisfactory to the Tenant, a certificate as to the status of this Lease, the amount of Rent then being paid and the dates to which it has been paid and any other factual matters pertaining to this Lease as to which the Landlord shall request in such certificate. |
11.2 | Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement. |
(a) | Subject to the terms of this Section 11.2, this Lease and all rights of the Tenant shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any and all Mortgages from time to time in existence against the Lands or any part thereof, whether freehold or leasehold, provided, however, Landlord shall, upon receipt of a request from Tenant, use reasonable efforts to obtain a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement from any existing or potential mortgagees providing that so long Tenant is not in default in any of its obligations hereunder the party to which it is subordinating its interest shall not disturb the Tenant’s possession of the Premises during the Term. On or within 60 days following execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord shall obtain and deliver to Tenant a consent, non-disturbance and recognition agreements (“Master Lease NDAs”) from the lessors under all of the Master Leases in effect as of the date of this Lease in the form attached hereto as Schedule “L”. The subordination of this Lease to any future ground leases or other overleases shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s receipt of a Master Lease NDA in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule “L” from the lessors. Landlord shall extend (or cause the extension of) all overleases for term or terms that enable the Term of this Lease (as it may be extended). |
47
11.3 | Attornment. Subject to Section 11.2, the Tenant shall promptly attorn on request to any Mortgagee, or to the registered owner of the Lands or the lessee under any Lease of all or substantially all of the Lands made by the Landlord or otherwise affecting the Lands or the purchaser on any foreclosure or sale under proceedings taken under any Mortgage, and shall recognize such Mortgagee, owner, lessee or purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. |
ARTICLE 12 – LANDLORD COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
12.1 | Quiet Enjoyment. The Landlord covenants that if the Tenant pays Rent and observes and performs all of its obligations under this Lease within applicable notice and cure periods, the Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Lease, be entitled to peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises for the Term without interruption or interference by the Landlord or any Person claiming through the Landlord. |
12.2 | General Covenants of Landlord.

The Landlord covenants to advise the Tenant of any default it becomes aware of under any of the Master Leases and provide the Tenant with all notices it receives from any party to any of the Master Leases or any governmental authority with respect to the Premises or the Tenant’s business therein. Landlord shall not voluntarily terminate or consent to any termination of any of the Master Leases or Services Agreement without Tenant’s consent, provided, however, Tenant’s consent will not be required if the provisions of the Master Lease NDAs will preserve Tenant’s rights under this Lease to use and occupy the Premises and receive the services under the Services Agreement. |
Landlord indemnifies and holds harmless the Tenant from any and all losses, claims, actions, causes of action, demands and costs for damage and injury, arising from any loss of Tenant’s rights to use and occupy the Premises arising out of (i) the expiration or termination of any of the Master Leases prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease (as the same may be extended), including as the result of the foreclosure of or other exercise of any rights under any Mortgages, except where such termination is due to the breach of the Tenant, its directors, officers, employees, agents or those for whom in law they are responsible of its obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, or (ii) any breach of Landlord’s representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 12.3 below. This indemnity shall survive the expiry or termination of this Lease. |
12.3 | Landlord Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Landlord hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Tenant as follows: |
(a) | it will at all times keep the FLWR-Landlord Sublease in good standing and comply in full with all of its obligations therein, including paying any rent due thereunder and will exercise any extension options thereunder necessary to accommodate the Term of this Lease; |
48
(b) | that it will not agree to any termination of the FLWR-Landlord Sublease or any amendments thereto or any of the Master Leases that will adversely impact the Premises or the Tenant’s rights hereunder, without the consent of the Tenant, which may be withheld in the Tenant’s sole discretion; |
(c) | there are no requirements, nor to the best of the Landlord’s knowledge and belief are there any pending requirements, of any governmental authority or department of any kind which may require any modifications to be done to the Building or Lands (upon completion of Landlord’s Work) in order to permit the Tenant to occupy the Premises for the Use; |
(d) | there are no restrictions or provisions in any of the Master Leases that would prohibit or restrict Tenant from carrying on the Use or exercising any of its rights herein or increase the costs to the Tenant to do so, except as may be set out herein or in the Services Agreement; |
(e) | there are no restrictions or provisions in any of the Master Leases or registered on title to the Lands (including under the Land Use Restrictions) that would prohibit the Landlord from carrying out its obligations set forth herein and in the Services Agreement; |

(h) | Landlord shall enforce the obligations of FLWR under the FLWR-Landlord Sublease and any rights of Landlord under any of the Master Leases to enforce the obligations of the landlords thereunder to comply with their respective obligations under the Master Leases to supply services and perform repairs, replacements or restoration to the Building if and to the extent necessary to permit Tenant to continue its use and occupancy of the Premises for the Use (or following a casualty to resume occupancy); and |
(i) | no consents are required under any of the Master Leases to enter into this Lease or carry out the Use at the Premises except as such consents may be set forth herein or in the Services Agreement. |
(j) | Landlord shall not amend or consent to the amendment of any of the Master Leases in a manner that will adversely affect Tenant’s rights or increase Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, without Tenant’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. |

Unless any amendment is required by law, proposed amendments to the Rules and Regulations by the Landlord shall only be effected or applicable to the Tenant provided the Landlord first enters into consultations with the Tenant and such consultations shall last no longer than ten (10) Business Days after notice is delivered to the Tenant, unless extended by mutual agreement in writing.

Neither the Tenant nor anyone claiming under the Tenant shall register this Lease or any Assignment thereof on title to the Lands except that Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver a Notice of Lease in a registerable form reasonably acceptable to the Landlord and either party may record or register the same. If the Tenant or any permitted assignor wishes to register a document evidencing this Lease, then the Landlord shall at the request and expense of the Tenant execute a notice of Lease for the purposes of registration in such form as reasonably required by the Tenant and without disclosure of any financial terms which the Landlord does not desire to have disclosed.
