- 5 -
9. | The Tenant covenants and agrees that it has the right, full power and authority to surrender and terminate the Lease and the Premises in the manner aforesaid, and that, as of the date of this Agreement the Tenant has not (and as of the Surrender Date, the Tenant shall not have) executed any other instruments, deeds or other documents pursuant to which the Lease and the unexpired portion of the Term, including any renewals or extensions thereof, shall in any way be sublet, charged, encumbered, assigned or otherwise transferred. |
10. | The Landlord and the Owners jointly and severally covenant and agree that they have the right, full power and authority to accept the surrender and termination of the Lease and the Premises in the manner aforesaid. |
11. | The Tenant shall, at its expense, promptly execute such further documentation with respect to the Premises and the Lease to give effect to this Agreement as the Landlord reasonably requires from time to time. |
12. | The parties confirm that in all other respects, the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease remain unchanged and in full force and effect, except as modified by this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that all terms and expressions when used in this Agreement, unless a contrary intention is expressed herein, have the same meaning as they have in the Lease. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Lease then, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease, the provisions contained in this Agreement shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency. |
13. | The Tenant hereby acknowledges that it is of critical importance to the Landlord that the Tenant deliver vacant possession of the Premises to the Landlord on or before the Surrender Date and do the work provided for in Section 7 as provided for therein, and that any failure by the Tenant to do so will result in the Landlord suffering significant damages. The Tenant agrees that if the Tenant fails to so deliver vacant possession, then: (i) the Landlord shall be entitled to exercise all of the right and remedies to which it is entitled, at law or in equity, as a result of any such failure by the Tenant; and (ii) the Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord from any and all claims, expenses, costs, losses, damages and liabilities whatsoever incurred as a result thereof (including, without limitation, any loss of rentals), and if legal action is brought for the recovery of possession of the Premises, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, forthwith upon demand, any and all costs and expenses (including legal fees, on a substantial indemnity or solicitor and client basis, as the case may be, and expenses) incurred on account thereof together with all damages for which the Landlord may be liable. It is understood and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for such a failure by the Tenant and that the Landlord would be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for such failure. Such remedy shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. |
14. | This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, the successors and assigns of the Landlord and the Owners and the permitted successors and permitted assigns of the Tenant. |

The initial term of the Existing Lease commenced on February 11, 1977 and continued for thirty (30) years, at which time it was renewed for a period of ten (10) years. Such initial renewal term (the "Current Term") is continuing and shall expire on February 9, 2017, subject to the existing rights of renewal set out in the Existing Lease (the "Renewal Rights");
AND WHEREAS the Landlord, the Tenant and the Owners have agreed that the Current Term of the Existing Lease as it applies to all of the Surrendered Premises (but not the Office Premises) will automatically terminate and expire at 11:59 p.m. on the 28th day of February, 2014 (the "Effective Time"), and the Tenant will have no right to renew the Current Term in respect of the Surrendered Premises, and the Tenant shall surrender to the Landlord at the Effective Time all of the Surrendered Premises (but not the Office Premises);
AND WHEREAS from and including the Effective Time, the Tenant shall continue to lease the Office Premises pursuant to the Existing Lease, as amended pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to such other amendments to the Existing Lease which the Landlord and the Tenant
- 2 -
have agreed are necessary or desirable as a result of the substantial reduction of the area of the Existing Premises and to reflect that the use of the continuing premises will be solely for office premises and not for mixed office and retail premises, such changes to take effect at the Effective Time;
AND WHEREAS the Landlord and the Tenant have agreed that for the purposes of clarity and convenience it is preferable to incorporate the amendments to the Existing Lease set out in this Agreement and to make such other amendments in and by way of an amendment and restatement of the Existing Lease and, accordingly, have agreed to enter into an amended and restated lease (the "Amended and Restated Lease") on the Execution Date, but subject to Section 14;
AND WHEREAS the Landlord and the Tenant have entered into the Amended and Restated Lease on the Execution Date;
AND WHEREAS the Amended and Restated Lease will not now, nor at the Effective Time, constitute a surrender and re-grant of the demise and lease of the Office Premises but rather, effective as of the Effective Time, constitutes an amendment and restatement of the terms and conditions applicable to the continuing demise and lease of the Office Premises, which demise and lease was made pursuant to Existing Lease.
AND WHEREAS all terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Master Agreement (as defined in Section 16 hereof);
NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the sum of TWO DOLLARS ($2.00) now paid by each party to the other (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), and other mutual covenants and agreements, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
1. | The parties hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that the foregoing recitals are true in substance and in fact. |
2. | The Existing Lease is hereby amended by deleting all Renewal Rights in favour of the Tenant as they apply to the Surrendered Premises only, and reducing the Current Term as it applies to the Surrendered Premises so that the Existing Lease as it applies to the Surrendered Premises (but not the Office Premises) will automatically terminate and expire at the Effective Time, and the Tenant hereby agrees that it shall surrender and deliver up vacant possession of the Surrendered Premises (but not the Office Premises), free and clear of all encumbrances and rights of third parties (other than the TEC Subleases and the rights of the Persons entitled to use, possess and/or occupy parts of the TEC Three Below Premises pursuant thereto), to the Landlord at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, to the extent not otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Master Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Existing Lease. At the Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Lease, together with this Agreement, shall constitute the entire agreement between the Landlord and the Tenant with respect to the continuing demise and lease of the Office Premises from and including the Effective Time and supersedes all other lease documents, agreements and understandings between the Landlord and the Tenant, |
- 3 -
whether written or oral (including the Existing Lease), in respect of the continuing demise and lease of the Office Premises. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that all options (including, without limitation, all options to extend or renew the Existing Lease as it applies to the Surrendered Premises), rights and/or entitlements under the Existing Lease or related thereto (whether personal or realty) and all rights of the Tenant or any of its affiliates in respect of the Surrendered Premises and the Shopping Centre, to the extent not provided for pursuant to the Amended and Restated Lease, shall terminate at the Effective Time.
3. | With the exception only of Continuing Liabilities, and any Claims arising from or relating thereto, the Tenant hereby unconditionally, absolutely, fully and finally releases and forever discharges the Landlord and each of the Owners from and in respect of any and all Claims of any nature whatsoever under or in respect of the Existing Lease as it applies to all or any portion of the Surrendered Premises (but not the Office Premises), the Surrendered Premises, or the Shopping Centre (excluding the Office Premises), including all Claims for amounts payable at any time in the past, present or future, and all Claims arising from, or relating to, any causes, acts, omissions, obligations, breaches, events, circumstances, things or other matters of any nature whatsoever that have occurred or existed prior to the date hereof, or otherwise exist as of the date hereof, whether known, unknown, discoverable, latent, anticipated, asserted, contingent or actual, or liquidated or unliquidated. |
4. | With the exception only of Continuing Liabilities, and any Claims arising from or relating thereto, the Landlord and the Owners hereby unconditionally, absolutely, fully and finally release and forever discharge the Tenant from and in respect of any and all Claims of any nature whatsoever under or in respect of the Existing Lease as it applies to all or any portion of the Surrendered Premises (but not the Office Premises), the Surrendered Premises, or the Shopping Centre (excluding the Office Premises), including all Claims for amounts payable at any time in the past, present or future, and all Claims arising from, or relating to, any causes, acts, omissions, obligations, breaches, events, circumstances, things or other matters of any nature whatsoever that have occurred or existed prior to the date hereof, or otherwise exist as of the date hereof, whether known, unknown, discoverable, latent, anticipated, asserted, contingent or actual, or liquidated or unliquidated. |
5. | (a) Subject to Section 5(e), upon the partial termination of the Existing Lease and surrender of the Surrendered Premises, there shall be no adjustment in respect of rent or other amounts payable under the Existing Lease as it applies to all or any portion of the Surrendered Premises. |
(b) | At the Effective Time, with the exception only of Continuing Liabilities, and any Claims arising from or relating thereto, the Tenant shall be unconditionally, absolutely, fully and finally released and forever discharged (automatically and without the requirement of any further documentation) from and in respect of any and all Claims of, by or to the Landlord or the Owners of any nature whatsoever under or in respect of the Existing Lease as it applies to all or any portion of the Surrendered Premises (but not the Office Premises), the Surrendered Premises, or |
- 4 -
the Shopping Centre (excluding the Office Premises), including all Claims for amounts payable at any time in the past, present or future, and all Claims arising from, or relating to, any causes, acts, omissions, obligations, breaches, events, circumstances, things or other matters of any nature whatsoever that have occurred or existed on or before the Effective Time, or otherwise exist as of the Effective Time, whether known, unknown, discoverable, latent, anticipated, asserted, contingent or actual, or liquidated or unliquidated.
(c) | At the Effective Time, with the exception only of Continuing Liabilities, and any Claims arising from or relating thereto, the Landlord and each of the Owners shall be unconditionally, absolutely, fully and finally released and forever discharged (automatically and without the requirement of any further documentation) from and in respect of any and all Claims of, by or to the Tenant of any nature whatsoever under or in respect of the Existing Lease as it applies to all or any portion of the Surrendered Premises (but not the Office Premises), the Surrendered Premises, or the Shopping Centre (excluding the Office Premises), including all Claims for amounts payable at any time in the past, present or future, and all Claims arising from, or relating to, any causes, acts, omissions, obligations, breaches, events, circumstances, things or other matters of any nature whatsoever that have occurred or existed on or before the Effective Time, or otherwise exist as of the Effective Time, whether known, unknown, discoverable, latent, anticipated, asserted, contingent or actual, or liquidated or unliquidated. |
(d) | Notwithstanding Sections 3 and 4 and the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, or any other provisions of this Agreement, the releases and discharges set out therein shall not be applicable in respect of the Continuing Liabilities, and any Claims arising from or relating thereto, and the Landlord, the Owners and the Tenant shall continue to be liable for all Continuing Liabilities, and any Claims arising from or relating thereto, all of which shall survive beyond the Effective Time. |
(e) | The Tenant shall be responsible for all realty taxes payable pursuant to the Existing Lease in respect of the period prior to the Surrender Date. The Landlord shall be responsible for all such realty taxes in respect of the period after the Surrender Date, but in respect of the Surrendered Premises only (and not in respect of the Office Premises). On or prior to the Surrender Date, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord: (i) all amounts, if any, owing and not yet paid under the Existing Lease in respect of the 2013 calendar year for realty taxes; and (ii) an amount equal to the realty taxes accrued and not yet paid pursuant to the Existing Lease for the period between January 1, 2014 and the Surrender Date. Upon receipt of the final tax xxxx(s) for the Existing Premises (or, if applicable, the property of which the Existing Premises form a part) for the periods referred to in this Section 5(e), the Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant a statement setting out the calculation of the taxes payable by the Tenant pursuant to the Existing Lease based on such final tax xxxx(s). If: (A) the amount the Tenant has paid is less than the amounts due, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the amount of the underpayment; or (B) the amount paid by the Tenant is greater |
- 5 -
than the amounts due, the Landlord shall pay to the Tenant the amount of the overpayment, in each case of (A) and (B) no later than 20 Business Days following the delivery of such statement. In this Agreement, "Realty Tax Adjustments" means the payments described in this Section 5(e).
6. | Notwithstanding any provisions of the Master Agreement, the Existing Lease or this Agreement, but subject to the Tenant complying with the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Landlord shall, at the Effective Time, accept the Surrendered Premises in the physical and environmental condition in which it existed as of the Execution Date, subject to reasonable wear and tear occurring during the Interim Period; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of the Existing Lease, but subject to the Tenant complying with the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Tenant shall not be required to carry out any repairs or replacements to or in the Surrendered Premises during the Interim Period or on or after the Surrender other than routine maintenance and cleaning and those repairs necessary to enable the Tenant to continue to operate its business in the Surrendered Premises in accordance with Applicable Laws and in accordance with the requirements of the insurers of the Surrendered Premises and the Shopping Centre, respectively, and in a safe and reasonable manner; provided that in the case of destruction of the Surrendered Premises, or any material damage to the Premises that cannot be repaired by the Tenant within 30 days after commencing such repairs, using reasonable commercial efforts and proceeding diligently, the Tenant shall not be required to restore the Surrendered Premises to its condition prior to such damage or destruction. |
7. | The Tenant shall, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, to the extent not provided in this Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Existing Lease, at its expense, remove all its trade fixtures, stock-in-trade, inventory and other personal property and all of its signs and other identification from the Surrendered Premises and other parts of the Shopping Centre, and the Tenant shall promptly repair at its expense any damage caused to the Surrendered Premises or any other portion of the Shopping Centre, as the case may be, which may occur as a result of the installation or removal of such items; provided that such obligation shall not include the obligation, and the Tenant shall not be required, to repair or restore any "shadowing" or discolouration as a result of the long-term installation of such items. The work described in this Section 5 shall be performed by the Tenant not later than the 30th day after the Effective Time, and the Landlord agrees that it shall permit the Tenant and its contractors access to the Surrendered Premises during such period for the purpose of carrying out and completing such work, subject to the Landlord's reasonable restrictions and requirements in respect of such access. |
8. | The Tenant confirms that it shall be required to comply with its obligations to operate a department store in the Surrendered Premises up to and including the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Existing Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the period commencing on the 120th day prior to the Effective Time and ending at the Effective Time the Tenant shall be permitted to conduct a liquidation sale at the Surrendered Premises; provided that: (i) such liquidation sale shall be carried out by the Tenant itself (and not by any third party); (ii) such liquidation sale shall not include any inventory or goods brought |
- 6 -
to the Existing Premises for the purposes of such liquidation sale and that was not a part of the Tenant's inventory at the Existing Premises in the ordinary course of business; and (iii) all signage and advertising in respect of such liquidation sale shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Landlord, acting reasonably.
9. | The Tenant covenants and agrees that it has the right, full power and authority to partially terminate the Existing Lease and surrender the Surrendered Premises in the manner aforesaid, and that, as of the date of this Agreement the Tenant has not (and as of the Effective Time, the Tenant shall not have) executed any other instruments, deeds or other documents pursuant to which the Existing Lease and the unexpired portion of the Term, including any renewals or extensions thereof, shall in any way be sublet, charged, encumbered, assigned or otherwise transferred (other than pursuant to the TEC Subleases). |
10. | The Landlord and the Owners jointly and severally covenant and agree that they have the right, full power and authority to accept the partial termination of the Existing Lease and surrender of the Surrendered Premises in the manner aforesaid. |
11. | The Tenant shall, at its expense, promptly execute such further documentation with respect to the Surrendered Premises and the Existing Lease to give effect to this Agreement as the Landlord reasonably requires from time to time. |
12. | The parties confirm that in all other respects, the terms, covenants and conditions of the Existing Lease remain unchanged and in full force and effect, except as modified by this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that all terms and expressions when used in this Agreement, unless a contrary intention is expressed herein, have the same meaning as they have in the Existing Lease. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Existing Lease then, notwithstanding anything contained in the Existing Lease, the provisions contained in this Agreement shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency. |
13. | The Tenant hereby acknowledges that it is of critical importance to the Landlord that the Tenant deliver vacant possession of the Surrendered Premises (subject to the TEC Subleases) to the Landlord on or before the Effective Time and do the work provided for in Section 7 as provided for therein, and that any failure by the Tenant to do so will result in the Landlord suffering significant damages. The Tenant agrees that if the Tenant fails to so deliver vacant possession (subject to the TEC Subleases), then: (i) the Landlord shall be entitled to exercise all of the right and remedies to which it is entitled, at law or in equity, as a result of any such failure by the Tenant; and (ii) the Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord from any and all claims, expenses, costs, losses, damages and liabilities whatsoever incurred as a result thereof (including, without limitation, any loss of rentals), and if legal action is brought for the recovery of possession of the Surrendered Premises, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, forthwith upon demand, any and all costs and expenses (including legal fees, on a substantial indemnity or solicitor and client basis, as the case may be, and expenses) incurred on account thereof together with all damages for which the Landlord may be liable. It is understood and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for such a failure by the Tenant and that the Landlord would be entitled to specific performance and |
- 7 -
injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for such failure. Such remedy shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
14. | During the Interim Period the rights and obligations of the Landlord and Tenant in respect of the Office Premises shall be governed by the Existing Lease, as amended by this Agreement. For the period from and including the Effective Time until the expiry of the Term all of such rights and obligations shall be governed by the Amended and Restated Lease. The provisions of the Amended and Restated Lease shall come into full force and effect at the Effective Time (automatically and without the requirement of any further documentation and notwithstanding any intervening event or circumstances, whether seen or unforeseen). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the foregoing provisions of this Section 14 shall be in full force and effect as of the Execution Date. |
15. | This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, the successors and assigns of the Landlord and the Owners and the permitted successors and permitted assigns of the Tenant. |
16. | In this Agreement: |
(a) | "Continuing Liabilities" means, in respect of each of the Landlord, the Owners and the Tenant: (i) all obligations and liabilities resulting or arising from a breach by such Person of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or the Interim Period Obligations; (ii) all representations and warranties made by such Person in the Master Agreement and all other obligations and liabilities of such Person under any provisions of the Master Agreement which are expressly stated in the Master Agreement to survive the Closing (as such term is defined in the Master Agreement); (iii) all obligations and liabilities of such Person the Amended and Restated Lease; and (iv) all obligations by such Person to make the Realty Tax Adjustments, if any; |

(c) | "Office Premises" has the meaning set out in the Amended and Restated Lease; |
(d) | "Surrendered Premises" means all of the Existing Premises, except the Office Premises; |
(e) | "Master Agreement" means the agreement entitled "Master Agreement for Surrender of Leases" and dated as of n between the Landlord, the Owners and the Tenant [Note: add reference to all parties]; and |
