If the Tenant shall continue to occupy the leased premises after the expiration of this lease, with or without the consent of the Landlord, and without any further written agreement, the Tenant shall be deemed to be a monthly tenant on the terms and conditions set out herein, except as to length of tenancy, at such rent as may be agreed upon between the parties hereto, or, failing such agreement, at a rental per month equal to one-tenth of the rental payable for the year immediately preceding such expiration, payable monthly in advance on the first day of each rental month.

12. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO TERMINATE

12.01 If during the term of this lease or any renewal thereof the Landlord elects to completely demolish the building or to take down the building for the purpose of rebuilding the Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Landlord shall have the right, notwithstanding anything herein contained, to terminate this lease by giving notice in writing to the Tenant as provided for in paragraph 20.

13. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

13.01 It is agreed between the Landlord and Tenant that:

(a) The Landlord, its agents, servants and employees shall not be liable for damage or injury to any property of the Tenant which is entrusted to the care or control of the Landlord, its agents, servants or employees.

(b) The Landlord, its agents, servants and employees shall not be liable nor responsible in any way for any personal or consequential injury of any nature whatsoever that may be suffered or sustained by the Tenant or any employee, agent, customer, invitee or licensee of the Tenant or any other person who may be upon the leased premises, or for any loss of or damage or injury to any property belonging to the Tenant or its employees or to any other person while such property is on the leased premises and, in particular but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Landlord shall not be liable for any damage of any nature whatsoever to any such property caused:

i) by the failure, by reason of a breakdown or other cause, to supply adequate drainage, or snow or ice removal;

ii) by reason of the interruption of any public utility;

iii) by steam, water, rain or snow which may leak into, issue or flow from any part of the building or adjoining lands;

v) by or arising from the use or operation of machinery, an elevator, heating or cooling or ventilation apparatus, electrical wiring, gas pipes or appliances of any nature; or

vi) by anything done or omitted by any tenant of the building;

but the Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to remedy such condition, failure or interruption of service when not directly or indirectly attributable to the Tenant, after notice of same, when it is within its power to do so. The Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent in respect of any such condition, failure or interruption of service unless the Landlord, its agents, servants, contractors or employees are negligent in its actions.

(c) The Landlord, its agents, servants, employees or contractors shall not be liable for any damage suffered to or by the leased premises or the contents thereof by reason of the Landlord, its agents, servants, employees or contractors entering upon the leased premises to undertake any reasonable examination thereof or any work therein or in the event of an emergency.

13.02 The Tenant shall indemnify and save the Landlord harmless from and against any and all manner of claims, actions, causes of action, damages, costs, losses and expenses of whatever kind which the Landlord may sustain, incur or be put to by reason of or arising out of this lease, or from the use or occupation of the leased premises in whole or in part, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from the non-observance or non-performance by the Tenant, its servants or agents, of any of the obligations imposed under the provisions of any law, ordinance, regulation or requirement of any federal, provincial, municipal or other government authority, or any of the covenants and agreements in this lease to be observed and performed by the Tenant, and such liability to indemnify and save harmless shall include all costs, counsel fees and other legal expenses incurred in respect of any claim, action or proceeding brought thereon, and shall survive the termination of this lease, anything in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding. Notwithstanding the Tenant's obligation to repair and the existence of insurance placed by the Landlord, the Tenant shall be liable for its own negligence and that of its servants and agents and shall compensate the Landlord for all direct and consequential damage caused to it by such negligence.

14. TITLE

14.01 The rights of the Landlord under this lease may be mortgaged, charged, transferred or assigned to a purchaser or to a mortgagee or trustee for bond holders, and in the event of a sale or of default by the Landlord under any mortgage, trust deed or trust indenture and the purchaser, mortgagee or trustee, as the case may be, duly entering into possession of the building or the leased premises, the Tenant agrees to attorn to and become the tenant of such purchaser, mortgagee or trustee under the terms of this lease, and to execute promptly upon request by the Landlord any certificate, instrument or postponement or attornment or other instrument which may from time to time be requested to give effect thereto, PROVIDED HOWEVER that any postponement or attornment or other instrument given hereunder shall reserve to the Tenant the right to continue in possession of the leased premises under the terms of this lease so long as the Tenant shall not be in default under such terms. The Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints the Landlord the attorney for the Tenant with full power and authority to execute and deliver such instruments for and in the name of the Tenant.

14.02 This lease shall, upon the written request of the Landlord, be made subject and subordinate to all mortgages, trust deeds or trust indentures which may now or at any time hereafter affect in whole or in part the leased premises, and whether or not any such mortgage, trust deed or trust indenture shall affect only the building or shall be a blanket mortgage, trust deed or trust indenture affecting other premises as well. This lease shall also be subject and subordinate to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such mortgage, trust deed or trust indenture.

14.03 In the event that, upon any proposed sale, assignment, hypothecation or mortgaging of the leased premises by the Landlord, an off-set statement is required from the Tenant, the Tenant covenants and agrees with the Landlord to deliver within 10 days after request therefor by the Landlord, in such form as the Landlord may reasonably require, a certificate to any proposed mortgagee or purchaser, or to the Landlord, certifying that this lease is in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the modifications and that the same is in full force and effect as modified) and that there are no defences, set-off s or prepayments in relation thereto.

14.04 The Tenant shall, from time to time at the request of the Landlord and within 10 days of such request, certify or acknowledge to any mortgagee, purchaser, lessee or assignee or proposed mortgagee, purchaser, lessee or assignee, the status and validity of this lease, and the state of the Landlord's and Tenant's account hereunder.

14.05 In the event of the sale or lease by the Landlord of the building or the lands or a portion thereof, or the assignment by the Landlord of this lease or any interest of the Landlord hereunder, and to the extent that any purchaser, lessee under such lease, or assignee has assumed the covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder, the Landlord shall, without further written agreement, be freed and relieved of liability upon its covenants and obligations hereunder.

15. ASSIGNING OR SUBLETTING

15.01 The Tenant shall not assign without leave; and shall not sublet without leave; which leave shall not be unreasonably withheld in either case; PROVIDED that the Landlord's consent to any assignment shall be conditional upon the assignee entering into a covenant in form satisfactory to the Landlord to perform, observe and keep each and every covenant, proviso, condition and agreement in this lease to be performed, observed and kept by the Tenant, including payment of minimum rent and additional rent and all other sums and payments agreed to be paid or payable under this lease on the days and at the times and in the manner specified herein.

15.02 If the Tenant requests the Landlord's consent to an assignment of this lease or to a subletting of the whole or any part of the leased premises, the Tenant shall submit to the Landlord the name of the proposed assignee or subtenant, the most recent financial statements of the proposed assignee or subtenant and such further information as to the nature of its business and its financial responsibility and standing as the Landlord may reasonably require.

15.03 The Landlord may refuse its consent if, in its opinion reasonably held, the proposed assignee or subtenant does not meet the requirements of the Landlord as to financial resources or stability, general commercial reputation or compatibility with the Landlord or other tenants in the building or on the lands.

15.04 In no event shall any assignment or subletting to which the Landlord may have consented, release or relieve the Tenant from its obligations fully to perform all the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease to be performed by it, and no consent by the Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall be construed to mean that the Landlord has consented or will consent to any further assignment or subletting.

15.05 If the Tenant herein is a private or non-reporting corporation or a society, a change in the control or beneficial ownership of the corporation or society, whether by sale or other disposition of its securities or by operation of law or otherwise, shall be deemed to be an assignment of the leasehold interest for the purposes of this lease.

15.06 The granting of a licence by the Tenant to another person or persons other than employees, and amounting to a right of exclusive possession of all or any part of the leased premises, shall be deemed to be a subletting for the purposes of this lease.

16. RENEWAL

If the Tenant punctually pays the rent and additional rent, plus GST, reserved hereunder and observes and performs all the covenants, agreements and obligations contained herein to be paid, observed and performed by the Tenant, the Landlord shall, upon written request by the Tenant delivered not less than six (6) months before the expiration of the term, grant to the Tenant a renewal of this lease for a further term to be negotiated upon the same terms, covenants and conditions as are contained herein except as to minimum rent (and except there shall be no further right of renewal) . The rent for such renewal term shall be determined by agreement, or failing agreement within not less than three (3) months before the expiration of the term, by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Act of British Columbia then in force, but in any event shall not be less than the minimum rent payable for the

preceding the expiration of the term of this lease or any renewal thereof. The Tenant and year immediately Landlord shall each pay all of their own solicitor-client legal costs incurred in effecting either renewal of this lease or an agreement as to rent, such costs to be paid forthwith on demand. The Tenant shall pay fifty (50) percent of any and all costs associated with arbitration, other than the Landlord or Tenant's own solicitor-client legal costs, forthwith upon demand.

This deposit shall be held by the Landlord, without liability for interest, as security for the faithful performance of the Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease to be kept and performed by the Tenant during the term. If at any time during the term, any of the rent reserved shall be overdue and unpaid, or any other sum payable by the Tenant to the Landlord shall be overdue and unpaid, then the Landlord may, at its option (but it shall not be required to), appropriate and apply any portion of the said deposit to the payment of any such overdue rent or other sum.

17.02 In the event of the Tenant's failure to keep and perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease to be kept and performed by the Tenant, then the Landlord, at its option, may appropriate and apply the entire deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to compensate the Landlord for loss or damage sustained or suffered due to such breach on the part of the Tenant.

17.03 Should the entire deposit, or any portion thereof, be appropriated and applied by the Landlord as aforesaid, then the Tenant shall, upon the written demand of the Landlord, forthwith remit in cash to the Landlord a sum sufficient to restore the deposit to the original sum deposited, and the Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute a further breach of this lease and the Landlord shall then be entitled to re-enter the leased premises.

17.04 The Landlord may deliver the funds deposited hereunder by the Tenant to the purchaser of the Landlord's interest in the leased premises in the event that such interest be sold, and thereupon the Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to such deposit, but the purchaser of the Landlord's interest shall not be so discharged.

18. GUARANTOR

The Guarantor for valuable consideration and in consideration for and as an inducement to the Landlord agreeing to enter into this lease, does join as party to this lease for the purpose of guaranteeing the full performance and observance of all of the covenants, conditions and agreements herein provided to be performed and observed by the Tenant without requiring any notice of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance or proof or notice or demand whereby to charge the Guarantor thereof, all of which the Guarantor hereby expressly waives. The Guarantor agrees that the validity of this guarantee and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired by reason of the assertion by the Landlord against the Tenant of any of the rights or remedies reserved to the Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this lease. The Guarantor further covenants and agrees that this guarantee shall remain in full force and effect as to any renewal, modification or extension of this lease and during any period when the Tenant is occupying the demised premises as an overholding tenant. Nothing whatsoever except the performance in full of all of the obligations of the Tenant under this lease throughout the term of this lease and any extension thereof or overholding thereunder shall discharge the Guarantor of this guarantee. The liability of the Guarantor to the Landlord shall be for all purposes as if the Guarantor was primary obligor hereunder and not merely as surety for the obligations of the Tenant and the Landlord shall not be obliged to resort to or exhaust any recourse which it may have against the Tenant or any other person before being entitled to claim against the Guarantor.
