a. | Office space of approximately twenty-five thousand eight hundred and ninety-five (25,895) square feet (the “Office”); and |
b. | Warehouse space of approximately seventy-five thousand six hundred and ninety eight (75,698) square feet (the “Warehouse”) |
on the 1st Floor of the building (the “Building”) located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, which lands (the “Lands”) are legally described on Schedule “A-1” attached to this Lease, subject to final measurement by Landlord’s architect according to ANSI/BOMA Z65.2 2009 Exterior Wall standards, as shown on the plan marked “Schedule A” attached to this Lease, hereinafter called the “Premises”. The Lands and Building and Parking Lots are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Property”.
1.02. The Premises shall be used as a Head Office, Showroom, Factory and/or Warehouse for clothing, including without limitation, outerwear and footwear, and related goods and accessories or, in the alternative such other use consented to by the Landlord and as permitted by law, which consent may not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld.
1.03. The use and occupation by the Tenant of the Premises shall entitle the Tenant to the non-exclusive (except as set out in Section 1.04 below) use of the Common Areas, subject, however, to the terms and conditions of this Lease. For the purposes of this Lease, “Common Areas” shall mean: the Parking Lots and those areas and facilities upon the Property which serve or benefit the tenants of the Property and which are designated from time to time by the Landlord for the common use or enjoyment of the tenants in the Property and their agents, invitees, servants, employees and licensees, or for use by the public, but excluding the basement of the Building, rentable premises in the Building and other portions of the Property which are from time to time designated by the Landlord for private use by one or a limited group of tenants. Common Areas include the structural portions of the Building, its systems, common driveways, parking areas, trucking areas, sidewalks, lawns, shrubs, facilities, utilities, improvements, equipment and installations located on the Lands or in the Building, to the extent that the same are designated or intended by Landlord to be part of the Common Areas from time to time.
1.04. During the Term of this Lease and any renewals or extensions thereof, the Tenant shall be permitted the exclusive use of 133 parking spaces in the locations shown marked with an “x” on the parking plan attached as Schedule “A-2” to this Lease and Landlord shall not reduce the number of such exclusive parking spaces
during the Term of this Lease or any renewals or extensions thereof. The balance of the parking spaces shall be used only by other tenants and occupants of the Property and by customers and other service providers of the Tenant visiting the Premises in any event for no longer than a few hours at a time, and for the sake of clarity, shall not be available for use by the Tenant, its subtenants or other transferees or employees thereof, it being the intention of the parties that the balance of the available parking spaces shall be for the use of other tenants and occupants of the Property. The non-exclusive parking spaces are shown in the locations shown outlined in red on the parking plan attached as Schedule “A-2” to this Lease. The Tenant acknowledges that certain of the parking spots are on parking lots which do not form part of the Property but which the Landlord warrants and represents are owned by the Landlord, which parking lots (the “Parking Lots”) are located on the South-East and South-West sides of Bowie Avenue and Sanderstead Avenue are outlined in green on Schedule “A-2” and legally described on Schedule “A-1”. The parking spaces on the Parking Lots form part of the Tenant’s 133 exclusive parking spaces and shall be for the Tenant’s exclusive use. The Tenant’s rights to park on the Parking Lots shall run with the Parking Lots lands for the benefit of the Premises and the Tenant’s rights to exclusive use of the 133 parking spaces and non-exclusive parking rights may be referred to in the notice of lease that the Tenant is permitted to register on title to the Lands and the Parking Lots lands. The Tenant shall have the right to place signage, subject to the Landlord’s approval of such signage such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, on such exclusive parking spots identifying them as Tenant’s designated exclusive parking spaces for use only by the Tenant, its employees and invitees. There shall be no charges for use of parking spaces upon the Property. For the sake of clarity, the use of all parking spaces, whether exclusive or otherwise, to which Tenant is entitled hereunder shall not be policed or monitored by the Landlord and same shall be the responsibility of the Tenant, at its sole cost and expense.
1.05. The Landlord covenants and agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize interruptions to the Tenant’s use of the driveways, access areas, loading docks and parking areas. The Landlord covenants and agrees not to (i) reduce the number of non-exclusive parking spaces upon the Property and the Parking Lots from those shown on the site plan attached to this Lease; or (ii) make any changes to the Property (except on a temporary basis during the course of complying with its obligations hereunder), so as to impede access for commercial trucks and tractor trailers to and from the Tenant’s loading docks.

The insurance described in paragraphs (c) and (d) shall name as an additional insured the Landlord and anyone else with an interest in the Building from time to time designated in writing by the Landlord, as their respective interests appear. The Landlord agrees to make available such proceeds toward repair or replacement of the insured property if this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the terms of this Lease. All public liability insurance shall contain a provision for cross-liability or severability of interest as between the Landlord and the Tenant.
The Tenant shall obtain from the insurers under such policies undertakings to notify the Landlord in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to any cancellation thereof. The Tenant shall furnish to the Landlord, on written request, certificates of all such policies. The Tenant agrees that if it fails to take out or to keep in force such insurance or if it fails to provide a certificate of every policy and evidence of continuation of coverage as herein provided, the Landlord shall have the right to take out such insurance and pay the premium therefore and, in such event, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the amount paid as premium plus fifteen percent (15%), which payment shall be deemed to be Additional Rent payable on the first day of the next month following payment by the Landlord.
The Tenant shall be permitted to maintain the insurance coverage required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Sections 13.01 pursuant to blanket insurance policies and umbrella policies maintained by Tenant provided that in doing so it will not diminish Tenant’s insurance obligations.
All Tenant’s property insurance policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favour of the Landlord or permission to waive all rights of subrogation.
21
13.02. The Landlord shall provide and maintain insurance on the whole of the Property and the Parking Lots against loss, damage or destruction caused by fire and extended perils under a standard extended form of fire insurance policy in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar property, having regard to the size, age and location of the Property. The Landlord shall also provide and maintain with respect to the Property and the Parking Lots a Commercial General Liability insurance policy on an occurrence basis with inclusive limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and a policy of rental income insurance to insure at least a period of 12 months Rent under this Lease. The amount of insurance to be obtained shall be determined at the sole discretion of the Landlord. The Landlord may maintain such other insurance in respect of the Property and its operation and management as the Landlord determines, acting reasonably. The Tenant shall not be an insured under the policies with respect to the Landlord’s insurance, nor shall it be deemed to have any insurable interest in the property covered by such policies, or any other right or interest in such policies or their proceeds. All Landlord’s property insurance policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favour of the Tenant or permission to waive all rights of subrogation. Landlord shall be entitled to include all deductible amounts in Operating Costs.
13.03. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
(a) | Subject to subsections (b) and (c) hereof, each of the Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other and waives all Claims against the other and those for whom the other is in law responsible with respect to occurrences insured against or required to be insured against by the releasing party, whether any such Claims arise as a result of the negligence or otherwise of the other or those for whom it is in law responsible. |
(b) | Such release and waiver shall be effective only to the extent of proceeds of insurance received by the releasing party and proceeds which would have been received if the releasing party obtained all insurance required to be obtained by it under this Lease and for this purpose deductible amounts shall be deemed to be proceeds of insurance received. |
(c) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Landlord and Tenant shall each be liable to any third person (being any person other than the Landlord or Tenant) to the extent of their respective fault or negligence and each shall be entitled to full indemnity and contribution from the other to the extent of the other’s fault or negligence. |
To the extent not released as above provided, each party shall indemnify and save harmless the other from all liabilities, damages, losses or expenses growing out of:
(i) | any breach, violation or non-performance by the indemnifying party of any covenant, condition or agreement in this Lease; |
(ii) | any loss, cost or expense arising from or occasioned by the wilful act, default or negligence of the indemnifying party, its officers, agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers or licensees; and |
(iii) | any obligation of the indemnifying party arising or outstanding upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. |
provided that neither party shall not be liable to the other for indirect or consequential damages. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.03, neither of the Landlord nor the Tenant shall be responsible for nor required to indemnify the other for or in respect of any Claims in respect of Hazardous Substances for which the other is responsible by the terms of this Lease.
Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Lease, anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding.
22
REMEDIES AND DEFAULT
14.01. Any of the following constitutes an “event of default” under this Lease:
(a) | any rent due is not paid within five (5) days after notice in writing from the Landlord to the Tenant; |
(b) | the Tenant has breached any of its obligations in this Lease and, if such breach is capable of being remedied and is not otherwise listed in this Section 14.01, after notice in writing from the Landlord to the Tenant: |
(i) | the Tenant fails to remedy such breach within fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period as may be provided in this Lease); or |
(ii) | if such breach cannot reasonably be remedied within fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period), the Tenant fails to commence to remedy such breach within fifteen (15) days of such breach, or thereafter fails to proceed diligently to remedy such breach; |
(c) | the Tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent or takes the benefit of any statute for bankrupt or insolvent debtors or makes any proposal, an 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 a person acting in a similar capacity is appointed with respect to the business or assets of the Tenant; |
(e) | intentionally deleted; |
(f) | this Lease or any of the Tenant’s assets are taken under a writ of execution and such writ is not stayed or vacated within Fifteen (15) days after the date of such taking; |
(g) | the Tenant makes an assignment or sublease, other than in compliance with the provisions of this Lease; |
(h) | the Tenant abandons or attempts to abandon the Premises; or |
(i) | the Tenant moves or commences, attempts or threatens to move its trade fixtures, chattels and equipment out of the Premises except as permitted in this Lease; |
14.02. .If and whenever an event of default occurs, 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:
(a) | to terminate this Lease by notice to the Tenant or to re-enter the Premises and repossess them and, in either case, enjoy them as of its former estate, and to remove all persons and property from the Premises and store such property at the expense and risk of the Tenant or sell or dispose of such property in such manner as the Landlord sees fit without prior notice to the Tenant. If the Landlord enters the Premises without notice to the Tenant as to whether it is terminating this Lease under this paragraph (a) or proceeding under paragraph (b) or any other provision of this Lease, the Landlord shall be deemed to be proceeding under paragraph (b), and the Lease shall not be terminated, nor shall there be any surrender by operation of law, but the Lease shall remain in full force and effect until the Landlord notifies the Tenant that it has elected to terminate this Lease. No entry by the Landlord during the Term shall have the |
23
effect of terminating this Lease without notice to that effect to the Tenant; |
(b) | 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 remedy or attempt to remedy such default need be given to the Tenant unless expressly required by this Lease, and the Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant for any loss, injury or damages caused by acts of the Landlord in remedying or attempting to remedy such default. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all reasonable expenses incurred by the Landlord in connection therewith; |
(d) | to recover from the Tenant all damages, costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord as a result of any default 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 |
(e) | in the event of bankruptcy, to recover from the Tenant the full amount of the current month’s rent together with the next three (3) months’ instalments of rent, all of which shall immediately become due and payable as accelerated rent; and |
(f) | to distrain for rent. |
14.03. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or any provision of any 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.
14.04. No acceptance of Base Rent subsequent to any breach or defaults other than non-payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent and no condoning, excluding or overlooking by the Landlord on previous occasions of breaches or defaults similar to that for which re-entry is made shall be taken to operate as a waiver of this condition, nor in any way to defeat or affect the rights of the Landlord hereunder. This proviso shall extend and apply to all covenants herein whether positive or negative.
24
14.05. In case suit shall be brought for recovery of possession of the Leased Premises, for the recovery of Rent or any other amount due under the provisions of this Lease, or because of the breach of any other covenant herein contained on the part of the Tenant to be kept or performed, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all expenses incurred therefor, in accordance with the court’s award. In case the Landlord shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against the Tenant, then the Tenant shall protect and hold the Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and solicitors’ and counsel fees on a solicitor and client basis incurred or paid by the Landlord in connection with such litigation.
In case suit shall be brought for enforcement of the Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, or because of the breach of any other covenant herein contained on the part of the Landlord to be kept or performed, the Landlord shall pay to the Tenant all expenses incurred therefor, in accordance with the court’s award. In case the Tenant shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against the Landlord, then the Landlord shall protect and hold the Tenant harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and solicitors’ and counsel fees on a solicitor and client basis incurred or paid by the Tenant in connection with such litigation.

15.06. Tenant, at any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord, will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord and, at Landlord’s request, addressed to any prospective purchaser, ground or underlying lessor or mortgagee of the Building, a certificate of Tenant stating:

25
(c) | that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications; |

LANDLORD MAY PERFORM TENANT’S COVENANTS
18.01. If the Tenant shall fail to perform any of the covenants or obligations of the Tenant under or in respect of this Lease, the Landlord may from time to time, after written notice to the Tenant and affording the Tenant a reasonable amount of time to cure such default, in its discretion, perform or cause to be performed any such covenants or obligations or any part thereof and for such purpose may do such things as may be requisite, including without limiting the foregoing, entering upon any portion of the building or any part thereof as may be necessary to fulfill the Tenant’s covenants. All reasonable expenditures made by the Landlord to fulfill the obligations of the Tenant’s covenants shall be recoverable from the Tenant, provided however that any such amounts paid by the Tenant to the Landlord hereafter shall be recoverable by way of Additional Rent.
18.02. Excluding the obligations provided for and otherwise dealt with in section 2.01, if Landlord shall be in default in the observance or performance of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements under this Lease relating to the repair or replacement of the Building or the Premises, on its part to be performed or observed, which default continues for a period of more than 15 days after receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying such default (“Tenant Notice”) subject to force
27
majeure, or if such default is of a nature to require more than 15 days for remedy and continues beyond the time reasonably necessary to cure (provided Landlord must have undertaken procedures to cure the default within such 15 day period where possible and thereafter diligently pursues such efforts to cure to completion), and if any such default will materially adversely interfere with the Tenant’s conduct of business at the Premises, then Tenant may, at its option (in addition to all other rights and remedies provided Tenant at law, in equity or hereunder), perform the obligation of Landlord specified in such notice and shall provide to the Landlord a receipted third party invoice for the actual and reasonable costs thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an emergency shall exist which threatens loss of life or material damage to Tenant’s property, or materially impairs the Tenant’s ability to carry on its business from the Premises, Tenant may cure such default without any prior notice to Landlord but prior to doing so shall make best commercial efforts to contact and notify Landlord of such emergency and the nature of the required repairs. If Landlord has not reimbursed Tenant within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s xxxx and copies of all receipted invoices for the work performed or materials used (provided such amount is not in dispute) Tenant may deduct the amount of money owing to Tenant from next payment or payments of Base Rent falling due hereunder without being in default under the provisions of this Lease. If there is any dispute with respect to such costs, same shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the other provisions of this Lease.
The self-help option given in this Section 18.02 is for the sole protection of Tenant, and its existence shall not release Landlord from its obligation to perform the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions herein provided to be performed by Landlord or deprive Tenant of any legal rights which is may have by reason of any such default by Landlord.
FORCE MAJEURE
19.01. Save for Tenant’s obligations to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent hereunder, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable for failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder, or for damage or loss to the other party if such failure, damage or loss is caused by Acts of God or of the Queen’s enemies, fire or other casualty, war, disaster, riots, strikes, lockouts, force majeure, cas fortuit or any similar circumstances, or circumstances attributable to the other party or other emergency or cause beyond the reasonable control of either party.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
20.01. The Landlord may establish reasonable Rules and Regulations in conformity with industry practice relating to the building and the use of the Premises and the Tenant agrees that the Tenant’s employees shall be bound by and shall observe the Rules and Regulations provided that no rule or regulation shall limit or reduce the Tenant’s express rights under this Lease or contradict any terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease or impose additional charges upon the Tenant. The Landlord shall provide written notice of all such Rules and Regulations and Amendments thereto which shall be deemed to be incorporated into and form part of this Lease.
OPTION TO EXTEND
21.01. If the Tenant has not been in material default (any default cured within any applicable curative period provided for in this Lease is not material) of any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein during the Term of the Lease, and provided it is not at the date of exercising the option in default under the Lease, it shall have the option of extending the Term of this Lease for two further terms of five (5) years (the “Extension Terms”) by giving written notice to the Landlord of its intention to extend at least six (6) months before the expiration of this Lease or the first Extension Term, as the case may be, and failing same the option herein contained shall be null and void, such extension to be on the same terms and conditions as in this Lease except as to Base Rent, Tenant Inducements or Allowances, Realtor Fees, fixturing and any other rent free periods, Landlord’s Work and further right of renewal or extension. The Base Rent for the Extension Terms shall be equal to the then fair market value rent for similar commercial premises situate in the vicinity of the Premises (without taking into account the Tenant’s
28
improvements within the Premises). If the parties cannot agree as to the Base Rent during the Extension Terms, then the same shall be determined by arbitration by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Arbitration Act, 1991 of Ontario, or its successor, based on fair market rent of the Premises. Any costs for arbitration shall be borne equally by the Tenant and the Landlord. Until such time as the Base Rent for an Extension Term has been determined, the Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent at the monthly amount paid in the last year of the Term, or first Extension Term, as the case may be.
QUIET ENJOYMENT
22.01. The Tenant shall have the right to Quiet Enjoyment of the Premises, subject to the other provisions of this Lease.
REGISTRATION
23.01. The Tenant shall have the right to register a notice of this Lease, but not the Lease, at its own expense and in a form which shall not contain any of the business terms of this Lease, which form shall be approved by the Landlord prior to registration.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
24.01. In exercising its rights under this Lease, including, without limitation, performing any work required under this Lease in or about the Premises and the Common Areas and save as otherwise provided herein, each of the Landlord and the Tenant shall act as expeditiously as is reasonably possible in completing same and the Landlord shall take all reasonable steps to avoid or minimize interference with the Tenant’s business, including customer, supplier and employee access from the Common Areas (including, without limitation, truck access to the Tenant’s loading docks).
24.02. In exercising its rights under this Lease (save and except for any rights in respect of the Tenant’s default), the Landlord shall, except in a bona fide emergency (in which event the Landlord shall use reasonable commercial efforts to notify the Tenant), use reasonable commercial efforts to provide the Tenant with reasonable advance notice of any planned work upon or affecting the Property which may cause an interruption to the Tenant’s business in the Premises.
24.03. Neither the Landlord nor the Tenant shall be liable under any theory of liability to the other for indirect, special, incidental, consequential, punitive or reliance damages arising under or in connection with this Lease.
24.04. Landlord warrants and represents in favour of Tenant that:
(i) | Landlord is fee owner of the Property and that Landlord has the appropriate authority to enter into this Lease; |
(ii) | Landlord is not aware of any actual, threatened or contemplated condemnation or expropriation proceedings that affect the Property or any part thereof, and Landlord has not received any notice, oral or written, of the intention of any authority or other person or entity to take or use all or any part thereof; and |
(iii) | To the best of its knowledge and belief (i) the Premises comply with all applicable laws relating to current use thereof, and (ii) no notice of violation of Applicable Laws has been received by Landlord nor, to the best knowledge of Landlord, has been issued by any authority with respect to the Premises, which violation, if not remedied, would prevent, hinder or impair in any material respect the ability of Tenant to use the Premises in the conduct of its permitted uses herein. |
24.05. In making a determination, designation, calculation, estimate, conversion, or allocation or in granting any consent or approval under this Lease, Landlord and Tenant will act reasonably, without delay and in good faith, subject to the specific provisions of this Lease to the contrary or otherwise.
29
24.06. As a material inducement for the Tenant to enter into this Lease, so long as the Tenant is Canada Goose Inc. or a Permitted Transferee carrying on the Canada Goose business, and is operating its business from at least eighty percent (80%) of the Premises, the Landlord covenants and agrees with the Tenant that it shall not lease any premises on the Property (other than the Premises) for, or permit to be operated on the Property, any business whose business is the manufacture, distribution, storage and/or sale of insulated outerwear, without the prior written consent of the Tenant such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. It shall be reasonable for the Tenant to refuse its consent where the proposed tenant or business is a direct competitor of the Tenant’s “Canada Goose” business relating to insulated outerwear. Provided that the Landlord shall be permitted to lease premises in the Building to a tenant who manufactures, sells or distributes insulated outerwear so long as the manufacture, sale or distribution of insulated outerwear, by gross revenue, accounts for no more than ten percent (10%) of its business from such premises. Furthermore provided such Tenant shall not be allowed to advertise, promote, or erect signage offering for sale its product on building or property exterior. This covenant shall run with the Lands for the benefit of the Tenant and the Premises throughout the Term of this Lease and any extensions and renewals thereof.
24.07. The Landlord acknowledges that the Tenant is in the manufacturing business and the landlord covenants and agrees that it shall use reasonable commercial efforts so that there is no nuisance in and about the Property and use reasonable commercial efforts to prevent noxious odours to emanate from any other premises upon the Property.
24.08. The Tenant shall be permitted to access and operate in the Premises on 24 hours per day, 365 days per year basis in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease and subject to emergencies and subject to matters beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord and save as otherwise provided in this Lease. Any additional costs as a result of the Tenant’s operating beyond the normal business hours of this Property (namely 7:00 am to 7 pm, seven days a week and excepting statutory holidays) shall be for the account of the Tenant and payable as Additional Rent.
24.09. In the event the Landlord intends to sell the Property to an arm’s length third party during the Term of this Lease or any extension or renewal thereof (the “ROFO Period”), the Tenant shall have a right of first opportunity to buy the Property during the ROFO Period. Prior to selling the Property, the Landlord shall provide the Tenant with written notice of its intention to sell the Property and the Tenant shall have forty-five (45) days to negotiate a purchase agreement with the Landlord for the Property. If the Landlord does not accept a price that the Tenant offers on a cash basis during such forty-five (45) day period, then if the Landlord wishes to sell to another purchaser at any time during the next six (6) months for a price that is within five (5%) percent of or less than the Tenant’s offer, the Landlord shall give the Tenant ten (10) business days to agree to match the other offer failing which the Landlord shall be free to proceed with and complete such other offer. If the Landlord has not sold the Property within said six (6) months, the Landlord shall again notify the Tenant of its desire to sell the Property and the provisions of this Section 24.09 shall continue to apply.
The Tenant’s right of first opportunity to buy the property shall expire on the completion of any sale of the Property to an arm’s length third party, provided the Landlord has complied with the provisions of this Section 24.09.
