ARTICLE 8
TAXES AND OPERATING COSTS

---------------------------
subject to the provisions of section 8.2, to pay to the taxing authority or
authorities having Jurisdiction, all Taxes.
8.2 Tenant's Tax Obligations. The Tenant covenants with the Landlord:
------------------------
(a) to pay when due, all taxes, business taxes, business license fees, and
other taxes, rates, duties or charges levied, imposed or assessed by
lawful authority in respect of the use and occupancy of the Leased
Premises by the Tenant, the business or businesses carried on therein
excluding the income of the Landlord, or the equipment, machinery or
fixtures brought therein by or belonging to the Tenant, or to anyone
occupying the Leased Premises with the Tenant's consent, or from time
to time levied, imposed or assessed in the future in lieu thereof, and
to pay to the Landlord upon demand the portion of any tax, rate, duty
or charge levied or assessed upon the Land and Building that is
attributable to any equipment, machinery or fixtures on the Leased
Premises which are not the property of the Landlord, or which may be
removed by the Tenant;
(b) to pay promptly to the Landlord when demanded or otherwise due
hereunder all Taxes in respect of all Leasehold Improvements in the
Leased Premises;
(c) to pay to the Landlord in the manner specified in section 4.2(b) the
Tenant's Share of the Tax Cost.
8.3 Goods and Service Taxes. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord an amount
-----------------------
equal to any and all Goods and Services Taxes, it being the intention of the
parties that the Landlord shall be fully reimbursed by the Tenant with respect
to any and all Goods and Services Taxes at the full tax rate applicable from
time to time in respect thereof. The amount of the Goods and Services Taxes so
payable by the Tenant shall be calculated by the Landlord in accordance with
the applicable legislation and shall be paid to the Landlord at the same time as
the amounts to which such Goods and Services Taxes apply
7
are payable to the Landlord under the terms of this Lease or upon demand at such
other time or times as the Landlord from time to time determines.
Notwithstanding any other section of this Lease, the amount payable by the
Tenant under this section shall be deemed not to be Rent, but the Landlord shall
have the same remedies for and rights of recovery of such amount as it has for
recovery of Rent under this Lease.
8.4 Tenant's Tax Cost. After the commencement of the Term of this Lease and
-----------------
prior to the commencement of each calendar year thereafter which commences
during the Term the Landlord may estimate the Tax Cost, or any installment on
account thereof, to become due on any date during the ensuing calendar year or
(if applicable) broken portion thereof, as the case may be, and the amount
thereof which will be payable by the Tenant under section 8.2, and notify the
Tenant in writing of such estimate. When the Tax Cost for the calendar year or
broken portion of the calendar year in question becomes finally determined the
Landlord shall recalculate the same. If the Tenant has overpaid such Tax Cost,
the Landlord shall refund any excess paid, but if any balance remains unpaid,
the Landlord shall fix monthly instalments for the then remaining balance of
such calendar year or broken portion thereof such that, after giving credit for
instalments paid by the Tenant hereunder in respect of such calendar year, the
Tenant's entire share of Tax Cost will be fully payable during such calendar
year or broken portion thereof. If for any reason the Tax Cost is not finally
determined within such calendar year or broken portion thereof, the parties
shall make the appropriate readjustment when such Tax Cost becomes finally
determined. Any report of the Landlord's accountant as to the Tax Cost shall be
conclusive as to the amount thereof for any period to which such report relates.
8.5 Postponement of Payment of Taxes. The Landlord may postpone payment of
--------------------------------
any Taxes payable by it pursuant to section 8.01 and the Tenant may postpone
payment of any Taxes, rates, duties, levies and assessments payable by it under
sections 8.02(a) and (b), in each case to the extent permitted by law if
prosecuting in good faith any appeal against the imposition thereof, provided in
the case of a postponement by the Tenant that if the Building or any part
thereof or the Landlord shall become liable to assessment, prosecution, fine or
other liability the Tenant shall have given security in a form and of an amount
satisfactory to the Landlord in respect of such liability and such undertakings
as the Landlord may reasonably require to ensure payment thereof.
8.6 Receipts for Pavment. Whenever requested by the Landlord, the Tenant will
--------------------
deliver to it receipts for payment of all taxes, rates, duties, levies and
assessments payable by the Tenant pursuant to sections 8.2(a) and (b) hereof and
furnish such other information in connection therewith as the Landlord may
reasonably require.
8.7 Operation Cost. During the Term of the Lease the Tenant shall pay to the
--------------
Landlord in the manner set forth in this section the Tenant's Share of the
Operating Cost. Prior to the commencement of the Term of this Lease and the
commencement of each annual fiscal period selected by the Landlord thereafter
which commences during the Term the Landlord shall estimate the amount of
Operating Cost for the ensuing fiscal period or, if applicable, a broken portion
thereof, as the case may be, and notify the Tenant in writing of such estimate
and the Tenant's monthly instalments on account thereof. The Landlord may from
time to time alter the fiscal period selected, in which case, and in the case
where only a broken portion of a fiscal period is included within the Term, the
appropriate adjustment in monthly instalments shall be made. From time to time
during a fiscal period the Landlord may re-estimate the amount of Operating Cost
in which event the Landlord shall notify the Tenant in writing of such re-
estimate and fix monthly instalments for the then remaining balance of such
fiscal period or broken portion thereof such that, after giving credit for
instalments paid by the Tenant on the basis of the previous estimate or
estimates, the estimated portion of Operating Cost payable by the Tenant will be
fully payable during such fiscal period or broken portion thereof. As soon as
practicable after the expiration of each fiscal period the Landlord shall make a
final determination of Operating Cost for such fiscal period or, if applicable,
the broken portion thereof and notify the Tenant providing to the Tenant a
report showing the items comprising Operating Cost in reasonable detail, and the
parties shall make the appropriate readjustment and any money owing by or to one
party by the other upon final determination shall be paid to the other within
thirty (30) days of the final determination. Notices by the Landlord stating
the amount of any estimate, re-estimate or determination of Operating Cost, or
monthly installments payable need not include particulars of Operating Cost.
The Operating Cost for a period of which the Term forms a part shall be reported
by the Landlord's accountant and a copy of such report shall be furnished to the
Tenant upon request. Any report of the accountant appointed by the Landlord as
to the Operating Cost shall be conclusive as to the amount thereof for any
period to which such report relates.
8.8 Allocation to Particular Tenant. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing,
-------------------------------
whenever in the Landlord's reasonable opinion, any Operating Cost or item of
Operating Cost properly relates to a particular tenant or tenants within the
Building, the Landlord may allocate such Operating Cost or item of Operating
Cost to such tenant or tenants. Any amount allocated by the Landlord to the
8

writing of the Landlord thereto;

Tenant has therefore leased space in another building and
relocated personnel to that building so that it has surplus
space in the Leased Premises, then the Tenant may sublet such
surplus space after the first year of the initial Term, subject
to the other provisions of this Article 10.
(b) Any request for such consent shall be in writing and accompanied by a
true copy of such offer, and the Tenant shall furnish to the Landlord

Tenant any portion of the Leased Premises proposed to be sublet
but at the same Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent per square

otherwise. As a condition of the Landlord's consent, the assignee or
subtenant, as the case may be, shall agree with the Landlord to
observe the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease as the same
relate to the space assigned or sublet (except, in the case of a
sublease, the Tenant's covenant to pay Rent) by entering into an
assumption agreement with the Landlord and the Tenant, in the
Landlord's then standard form, and shall pay the Landlord's reasonable
solicitor's fees and disbursements for preparing such agreement. The

shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for consent by the Landlord
to any subsequent assignment or subletting by either the Tenant or any
assignee or subtenant.
(d) Landlord Not to Unreasonably Withhold Consent. If the Landlord does not
exercise an option provided to the Landlord under section l0.2(b), then the
Landlord's consent to a proposed assignment or sublet shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Without limiting other instances in which it may be
reasonable for the Landlord to withhold its consent to an assignment or
subletting, it shall be reasonable for the Landlord to withhold its consent
in the following instances:
(i) in the Landlord's reasonable judgement, the use of the Leased Premises
by the proposed assignee or sublessee would involve occupancy by other
than primarily general office personnel or otherwise in violation of
section 5.2 of this Lease, would involve any alterations which would
lessen the value of the Leasehold Improvements in the Leased Premises,
would require increased services, including increased load on elevator
services, by the Landlord or alter the reputation or character of the
Building;
(ii) in the Landlord's reasonable judgement, the proposed assignee or
subtenant is not creditworthy;
(iii) the Landlord has experienced previous defaults by the proposed

under this Lease or has been in material default under this Lease on
two or more occasions during the 12 months preceding the date that the

for a similar transaction having regard to the term and other relevant
factors;
(e) Terms of Consent. If the Landlord consents in writing to an assignment or
sublease as contemplated herein, the Tenant may complete such assignment or
sublease subject to the following covenants and conditions:
All "Excess Rent", as hereinafter defined, derived from such assignment or
sublease shall be payable to the Landlord. The Excess Rent shall be deemed
to be and shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord as Rent. The Tenant
shall pay the Excess Rent to the Landlord immediately as and when such
Excess Rent is receivable by the Tenant.
As used herein, "Excess Rent" means the amount by which the total money and
other economic consideration to be paid by the assignee or subtenant as a
result of an assignment or sublease, whether denominated as rent or
otherwise, exceeds, in the aggregate, the total amount of Annual Base Rent
and Additional Rent which the Tenant is obligated to pay to the Landlord
under this Lease, pro rated for the portion of the Leased Premises being
assigned or sublet, less the reasonable costs paid by the Tenant for
additional improvements installed in the portion of the Leased Premises
subject to such assignment or sublease by the Tenant at the Tenant's sole
cost and expense for the specific assignee or subtenant in question,
reasonable leasing costs (such as brokers'

10.2(a)) paid by the Tenant in connection with such assignment or
sublease, and the amount of Annual Base Rent and Additional rent the
Tenant is obligated to pay the Landlord under this Lease, pro rated for
the portion of the Leased Premises being assigned or sublet that is not
occupied or used by the Tenant, until the date of such assignment or
sublease. In determining the amounts to be deducted from Excess Rent in
each monthly payment period in respect of the Tenant's costs of
assigning or subleasing, such costs shall be amortized without interest
over the Term (in the case of an assignment) or term of the sublease
(in the case of a sublease) on a straight line basis.

----------------------------
none of its shares are traded on any public stock exchange or in any
public stock market, and if by the sale or other disposition, bequest
or operation of law of its shares or securities the control or the
beneficial ownership of such corporation is changed at any time during
the Term of this Lease, such change shall be deemed to be an assignment
of this Lease within the meaning of section 10.2. If such control or
beneficial ownership is changed without the prior written consent of
the Landlord, the Landlord may, at its option, cancel the Lease and the
Term hereby granted upon the giving of sixty (60) days notice to the
Tenant of its intention to cancel and this Lease and the Term shall
thereupon be cancelled.
(b) If the Tenant is a partnership and, if at any time during the term of
this Lease, any person who at the time of the execution of this Lease
owns a partner's interest ceases (other than through death) to own such
partner's interest or there is a material change in the ownership, in
the opinion of the Landlord, of such partner's interest, such cessation
or change of ownership shall constitute an assignment of this Lease for
all purposes of this Article.
(c) Upon request of the Landlord from time to time, the Tenant shall make
available to the Landlord annual financial records of the Tenant and
Indemnifier as are required to be made public or available under
applicable U.S. securities and other laws.

Lease, assign this Lease to an assignee of which Seagate Technology Inc. is the
majority shareholder and over which Seagate Technology Inc. exercises managerial
control or permit control of the Tenant to change provided Seagate Technology
Inc. remains the majority shareholder and still exercises managerial control

respect of perils and to amounts and on terms and conditions which from time to
time are insurable at a reasonable premium and which are normally insured by
reasonably prudent owners of properties similar to the Building, as from time to
time determined at reasonable intervals (but which need not be determined more
often than annually and shall not be determined less often than every three (3)
years) by insurance advisors selected by the Landlord, and whose written
opinion shall be conclusive. Upon the request of the Tenant from time to time
the Landlord will furnish a statement as to the perils in respect of which and
the amounts to which it has insured the Building. The Landlord may maintain
such other insurance in such amounts and upon such terms as would normally be

do so as the agent of the Tenant and the Tenant shall repay to the Landlord any
amounts paid by the Landlord as premiums forthwith upon demand.

20
Annual Base Rent which shall be the greater of the Current Market Rent for the

of the renewal term) and the sum of the Annual Base Rent payable for the last
year of the initial term. If the Landlord and the Tenant are unable at least
three (3) months before the expiry of the initial term to agree upon such
Current Market Rent, the determination of such Current Market Rent shall be
referred to a single arbitrator if the parties hereto agree upon one, otherwise
to a board of three (3) arbitrators, one to be appointed by each of the Landlord
and the Tenant and a third arbitrator to be appointed in writing by the first
two-named arbitrators; if the Landlord or the Tenant shall refuse or neglect to

served a written notice upon the party so refusing or neglecting to make such
appointment, the arbitrator first appointed shall, at the request of the party
appointing him, proceed to determine such rent as if be were a single arbitrator
appointed by both the Landlord and Tenant for the purpose. If two (2)
arbitrators are so appointed within the time prescribed and they do not agree

from the date of appointment of the second arbitrator, then upon the application
of either the Landlord or the Tenant, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by
a Judge of the Supreme Court in accordance with the procedure set out in the
Commercial Arbitration Act, S.B.C. 1986, c.3, as amended from time to time, or

the case may be, shall be final and binding upon the Landlord and the Tenant,
and their respective successors and assigns. The Tenant shall pay the costs of
the arbitration and the arbitrator(s). The provisions of this section shall be
deemed to be a submission to arbitration within the provisions of the
replacement or re-enactment thereof, provided that any limitation on the
remuneration of the arbitrators imposed by such legislation shall not be
applicable.

----------------------------------------------------
Tenant duly and promptly complies with all of its obligations under the Lease
and is not in breach of the Lease, and is itself occupying the whole of their
leased premises, and subject to the Landlord's commitment to other tenants under
existing leases or offers, the Landlord agrees during the first one and a half
year of the initial Term of the Lease to notify the Tenant in writing of a third
party's interest in leasing all or part of the 6th Floor of the Building. The
Landlord's notice will specify the space available to the Tenant on Floor 6
which shall not be less than approximately one half of such floor and may be up

further five (5) days to settle the rent, inducement and renewal term and to

Landlord and the Tenant do not agree to rent or inducement or renewal term, or
if the Lease is not executed within such five-day period, there will be no
agreement regarding the Designated Space and the Tenant will have no further
