In the event the Landlord cannot deliver vacant possession of the Demised Premises on or by the Commencement Date, then the Tenant shall take possession of the Demised Premises as soon as vacant possession can be delivered of the same, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall the Landlord be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the delay in the Tenant obtaining possession and, in such event, the Term shall commence on delivery of vacant possession, the Commencement Date shall be the day on which the Demised Premises are so delivered up, the Termination Date shall be extended and the Term shall remain the same. Provided, however, if the Term is not

7

commenced within six (6) months of the Commencement Date as provided for in Article 2.02, then this Lease is at an end, and neither party shall have any action or right against the other.

The Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury, damage or inconvenience which the Tenant may suffer by reason of any delay in the Landlord delivering the Demised Premises to the Tenant, or which the Tenant may suffer by reason of any delay in the Tenant taking occupancy of the Demised Premises howsoever occasioned.

For the purposes of planning and the construction of its leasehold improvements and/or operation of the Tenant’s business, the Tenant shall have access to the Demised Premises upon execution of the Lease prior to the Commencement Date.

Section 2.06 - Parking

During the Term the Tenant, its guests, invitees and customers shall be entitled to use the Parking Area in common with other Tenants and their guests, invitees and customers subject to the rules, regulations, costs and charges permitted by this paragraph to be imposed by the Landlord on the Parking Area. Subject to all applicable rules, regulations and bylaws of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over such matters, the Landlord shall not

at any time during the Term allow the Parking Area to be utilized on any basis other than a first come first served basis unless otherwise provided for in Schedule “E” (if any), provided, however, that the Landlord shall be entitled to impose and charge users of the Parking Area, including the Tenant, its guests, invitees and customers, such hourly charges as are from time to time charged by the operators of parking facilities within four blocks of the Building and the Landlord shall be entitled to enforce any hourly charges imposed as aforesaid in such reasonable manner as the Landlord sees fit, including the towing away of cars or other vehicles violating the charges imposed by the Landlord.

The Landlord shall provide to the Tenant ten (10) reserved parking stalls in the Building for use only by the Tenant’s employees and invitees, for which the Tenant shall pay a monthly fee at the prevailing rental rate per parking stall, plus applicable taxes, which fee may be increased from time to time on not less than one calendar month’s notice to any amount as is from time to time charged by operators of parking facilities within four blocks of the Building. If the Tenant fails to pay any monthly fee in advance, then the Landlord may terminate the Tenant’s right to reserve the parking stall, as determined by the Landlord. The Landlord shall arrange at its cost for such reserved parking stalls to be signed “reserved” accordingly. The Tenant shall provide the Landlord with at least 30 days’ notice if it no longer intends to use any particular reserved parking stall, after which time the said monthly fee shall no longer be payable with respect thereto, and the Tenant shall have no further right to that parking stall, and the Landlord’s obligation to provide whatever number of parking stalls are herein set out shall be reduced by the number for which the Tenant gives notice.

Section 2.07 - Adjustments

The parties hereto acknowledge that the area of the Demised Premises set forth in Section 2.01 hereof may be an approximation, and the area of the Demised Premises may be determined by the Landlord’s architect or surveyor in accordance with the definition of “Rentable Area of the Demised Premises” herein contained, and in the event the area of the Demised Premises determined by the Landlord’s architect as aforesaid differs from the area of the Demised Premises set forth in Section 2.01 hereof, the annual rent specified in Section 2.03 hereof shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the area of the Demised Premises determined by the Landlord’s architect or surveyor as aforesaid times the annual per square foot charge specified in Section 2.03.

The adjustments herein will only be effective from and after the date upon which the certificate of the Landlord’s architect verifying the actual rentable area is delivered to the Landlord; neither the Tenant nor the Landlord shall have any claims as against each other for any adjustment in rent in respect of the rental period which precedes in time the delivery of the certificate of the Landlord’s architect to the Landlord.

Section 3.02 - Contestation of Tax for the Year

The Tenant shall have at any time the right to contest (or request the Landlord to contest) any tax, rate (including local improvement rates), assessment or other charge against the Demised Premises if such contestation will not involve any forfeiture, foreclosure, escheat, sale or termination of the Landlord’s title to the Lands, the Demised Premises, the Building or any part thereof, and provided further that all such proceedings shall be prosecuted with all due diligence and dispatch. The Tenant will pay the cost of any such contestation and also pay the Landlord on demand, all proper costs, penalties, interest or other charges payable as a result of or incidental to such contestation. In the event that such contestation results in a lowering or reduction or abatement or a partial refund of the applicable Tax, which lowering or reduction or abatement or partial refund of the applicable Tax exceeds said costs, then, all of said costs shall form part of Common Expenses, and the Tenant shall be reimbursed accordingly. Notwithstanding such contestation by the Tenant, the Tenant shall continue to pay to the Landlord the Tenant’s Share of Tax for the Year in the manner hereinbefore set out. Should, as a result of such contestation, the amount of Tax payable by the Landlord be decreased as a result of such contestation or appeal, the Landlord hereby agrees to reimburse the Tenant accordingly for the excess Tax that the Tenant has paid. Should the amount of Tax payable by the Landlord be increased as a result of such contestation or appeal or should the Landlord be required to pay a

10

penalty as a result of such contestation or appeal, then in either of such events the Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to pay such increase or penalty.

Upon the receipt of such request and information from the Tenant, the Landlord shall have the right, exercisable in writing within fourteen (14) days after such receipt, to cancel and terminate this Lease or to sublet all of the Demised Premises or, if the request is to assign or sublet a portion of the Demised Premises only, to cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such portion, in each case as of the date set forth in Landlord’s notice of exercise of such right, which shall be neither less than sixty (60) nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the service of such notice;

3.               if the Landlord shall exercise its right under clause 2 of this Section 5.09, the Tenant shall surrender possession of the entire Demised Premises or the portion which is the subject of the right, or as the case may be, on the date set forth in such notice in accordance with the provisions of this Lease relating to surrender of the Demised Premises at the expiration of the Term. If this Lease shall be cancelled as to a portion of the Demised Premises

14

only, the rent payable by the Tenant under this Lease shall be abated proportionately. If the Landlord shall not exercise the right to cancel this Lease as above provided after the receipt of the Tenant’s written request, then the Landlord’s consent to such request shall not be unreasonably withheld;

4.               If the Landlord consents to any proposed assignment or subletting, the Tenant shall assign or sublet, as the case may be, only upon the terms set out in the offer submitted to the Landlord as aforesaid and not otherwise. As a condition of the Landlord’s consent, the assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, shall agree (and will be deemed to have agreed) 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 Basic Rent and Additional Rent) by entering into an assumption agreement with the Landlord and the Tenant, in the Landlord’s form, and shall pay the Landlord’s reasonable then-current processing charge and reasonable solicitor’s fees and disbursements for preparing such agreement. The Tenant further agrees that if the Landlord consents to any such assignment or subletting, the Tenant shall be responsible for and shall hold the Landlord harmless from any and all capital costs for leasehold improvements and all other expenses, costs, and charges with respect to or arising out of any such assignment or subletting. Any consent by the Landlord to any assignment or subletting 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;

5.               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:

(a)          no assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or subtenant shall take possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof until an executed duplicate original of such assignment or sublease has been delivered to the Landlord; and

(b)         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, or at the Landlord’s option shall be payable directly to the Landlord by the assignee or sublessee, and on notice to the Tenant, the Tenant shall forthwith give irrevocable direction to its assignee or sublessee that such monies are payable directly to the Landlord.

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 Basic Rent and Additional Rent which the Tenant is obligated to pay to the Landlord under this Lease, pro-rated for the time (and, if applicable, the portion of) the Demised Premises being sublet or assigned;

15

6.               Upon request of the Landlord from time to time, a Tenant that is a corporation (unless its shares are traded on any public stock exchange or public stock market) or partnership shall make available to the Landlord for inspection or copying or both, all books and records of the Tenant which, alone or with other data, in the case of a Tenant that is a corporation, identify the ownership of all of the shares and securities of the Tenant, and in the case of a Tenant that is a partnership, identify the partners of the Tenant and their respective interests in the partnership, all from the Commencement Date or the date of earlier execution of this Lease up to the date such books and records are made available to the Landlord;

7.               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 on its part to be performed during the period to and including the last day of the Term;

8.               transfers aggregating fifty percent (50%) or more of the capital or voting stock of the Tenant (if the Tenant is a non-public corporation) shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease. For greater certainty, issuances of shares by the Tenant from treasury will not be included in the above calculation;

9.               the Tenant shall not display, advertise or offer the whole or any part of the Demised Premises for the purposes of assignment or subletting and shall not permit any broker or other party to so do unless the complete text and format of any such display, advertisement or offer shall have first been approved in writing by the Landlord. Without in any way restricting or limiting the Landlord’s right to refuse any text and format on other grounds, any text and format proposed by the Tenant shall not contain any reference to the rental rate for the Demised Premises; and

10.         notwithstanding anything else in this subsection, the Landlord may refuse consent to any assignment or sublet if the Tenant is or has regularly been in default under this Lease and, at the Landlord’s option, no assignment or sublet shall be completed or valid if the Tenant is in default after consent is given.

Section 5.10 - Rules and Regulations

The Tenant covenants with the Landlord to observe, and to cause its employees, servants, agents, invitees and customers to observe, the rules and regulations set out in Schedule “C” and all other rules and regulations as the Landlord may from time to time make for the operation, reputation, safety, care or cleanliness of the Building and Demised Premises, the operation and maintenance of equipment, the use of the Common Areas, Parking Area, the lighting of premises, the display of signs visible outside the Demised Premises, other matters affecting the operation of the Building and the Demised Premises and the establishing and maintaining of a suitable image for the Building, provided, however, that such rules and regulations are reasonable and consistent with the provisions of this Lease and do not diminish any rights of the Tenant hereunder. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to impose upon the Landlord any obligation to enforce the rules and regulations, or the terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease, against any other tenant, and the Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant for violation of the same by any other

16

tenant, its servants, employees, agents, visitors or licensees. If the Landlord chooses to enforce any of the rules and regulations, the Landlord shall enforce such rule, regulation, rules or regulations against all tenants in a fair and equitable manner.

The Landlord shall, prior to exercising its rights to enter the Demised Premises as aforesaid, give to the Tenant such period of notice as may be reasonable in the circumstances.

If any such lien shall at any time be filed or registered, the Tenant shall cause the discharge of same to be filed and registered within fifteen (15) days after the Tenant has notice of the lien, provided, however, that should the Tenant desire to contest the amount

17

or validity of any lien in good faith and shall have so notified the Landlord, if the Tenant shall have deposited with a mutually acceptable trustee or stake holder (or paid into court to the credit of any lien action if the applicable statute provides for such payment and such payment shall discharge the lien or otherwise be adequate protection for the Landlord’s interest) the amount of the lien claimed plus a reasonable amount for costs, then the Tenant may defer payment of such lien for a period of time reasonably sufficient to enable the Tenant to contest same with due diligence, provided always that neither the Landlord nor the Demised Premises, Building or the Lands or any part thereof, nor the Tenant’s leasehold interest therein shall or could thereby become liable to forfeiture or sale.

Section 5.16 - Alterations

The Tenant covenants with the Landlord that the Tenant will not make or erect in or to the Demised Premises any installations, alterations, additions or partitions without submitting plans and specifications to the Landlord and obtaining the Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and the Tenant must further obtain the Landlord’s prior written consent to any change or changes in such plans and specifications submitted as aforesaid or any change or changes whatsoever to the mechanical or electrical portion of such plans and specifications submitted as aforesaid, subject to payment of the Landlord’s reasonable cost of having its architect or other consultants approve of such plans and specifications prior to proceeding with any work based on such plans and specifications); such work may be performed by employees of, or contracted for with contractors engaged by the Tenant, subject to all reasonable conditions which the Landlord may impose; including, without limitation, the right, at the option of the Landlord, to require that the Landlord’s contractors be engaged for any mechanical or electrical work; the Tenant shall promptly pay to the Landlord or the Tenant’s contractors, as the case may be, when due, the cost of all such work and of all materials, labour and services involved therein and of all costs of redecoration or of alterations or additions to the Demised Premises or the Building necessitated thereby. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, any work performed by or for the Tenant shall be performed by competent workers whose trade union affiliations are not incompatible with those of any workers who may be employed in the Building by the Landlord, its contractors or subcontractors. Any improvement or alteration made by the Tenant to the Demised Premises shall, upon affixation thereto, become part of the Demised Premises and the property of the Landlord, provided, however, that the Landlord may, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, require the Tenant to remove any or all such improvements or alterations, in which case the Tenant shall do so forthwith and remedy any damage caused thereby to the Demised Premises or any other portion of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tenant may, upon the expiration of the Term and provided that it is not in default hereunder, remove any or all of the Tenant’s Improvements and all signs, equipment and personal property of the Tenant, provided that it remedies any damage caused thereby to the Demised Premises or any other portion of the Building.

Section 5.17 - Signs

The Tenant covenants with the Landlord that the Tenant will not paint, display, inscribe or affix any sign, notice, lettering or direction on any part of the outside of the Building or in or on the Demised Premises where the same

Section 5.18 - Locks and Trimmings

The Tenant covenants with the Landlord that all locks and trimmings of the doors and windows in or upon the Demised Premises shall be kept whole and whenever broken shall be immediately replaced or repaired under the direction and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord and that such replacement and/or repairs shall be paid for by the Tenant.

If the Landlord shall be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against the Tenant, the Tenant shall hold the Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and legal fees incurred or paid by the Landlord in connection with such litigation unless the Landlord is made a party to any such litigation as a result of any alleged wrongful act, default hereunder, or negligence or wilful misconduct on its part. The indemnification given by the Tenant in this Section 5.20 shall survive any termination of this Lease notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease.

Section 5.22 - Hazardous Substances

1.               The Tenant will not bring upon, locate, create or store on the Demised Premises or the Building or any part thereof any Hazardous Substances, nor will the Tenant permit any of its agents, employees, suppliers, customers, invitees, sub-tenants, licensees or any other person having business with or under the control of the Tenant to bring upon, locate, create or store on the Demised Premises any Hazardous Substances.

2.               Without limiting and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the Tenant will strictly comply with all laws and regulations from time to time in force relating to Hazardous Substances and will immediately give written notice to the Landlord of the occurrence of any event on or about the Demised Premises constituting an offence thereunder or being in breach thereof of which it is aware and, if the Tenant, either alone or jointly with others, causes the happening of such event or brings any Hazardous Substance upon the Building or any part thereof, the Tenant will, at its own expense:

(a)          immediately give the Landlord written notice to that effect and thereafter give the Landlord from time to time written notice of the extent and nature of the Tenant’s compliance with the following provisions of this Section 5.22 (2);

(b)         promptly remove the Hazardous Substances from the Building in a manner which conforms with all laws and regulations governing movement of the same; and

(c)          if requested by the Landlord, obtain from an independent consultant designated or approved by the Landlord a report, verifying the complete and proper removal thereof, if such is not the case, reporting as to the extent and nature of any failure of the Tenant to comply with this Section 5.22 (2).

The Tenant will, at its own expense, remedy any damage to the Building caused by such event or by the performance of the Tenant’s obligations under this Section 5.22 (2) as a result of such occurrence.

If any governmental authority having jurisdiction requires the cleanup of any Hazardous Substance held, released, spilled, abandoned or placed upon the Building by the Tenant or released into the environment by the Tenant or as a result of the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, then the Tenant will, at its own expense, prepare or cause to be prepared all necessary studies, plans and proposals and submit the same for approval, provide all bonds and other security required by governmental authorities having jurisdiction and forthwith carry out the work required and will keep the Landlord fully and regularly informed and provide to the Landlord full information with respect to proposed plans and comply with the Landlord’s requirements with respect to such plans, provided that if the Landlord determines, in its sole

20

discretion, that the Landlord, its property or its reputation is placed in any jeopardy by the requirement for any such work, the Landlord may cause such Hazardous Substances to be removed and may repair and restore the Demised Premises and may cause its employees or agents to enter on the Demised Premises for such purpose. Should the Landlord undertake such removal, repair or restoration, the Tenant shall forthwith pay to the Landlord the total cost of such removal, repair or restoration plus a fee equal to 18% of such cost, and the total of such fee and cost shall, until paid to the Landlord, bear interest at the rate stipulated herein for amounts in arrears and shall be recoverable as Additional Rent reserved hereunder.

3.               The Tenant hereby authorizes the Landlord to make enquiries from time to time of any government or governmental agency with respect to the Tenant’s compliance with any and all laws and regulations pertaining to the Tenant, the Tenant’s business and the Demised Premises including, without limitation, laws and regulations pertaining to Hazardous Substances and the protection of the environment, and the Tenant will provide to the Landlord, from time to time, such written authorization as the Landlord may reasonably require in order to facilitate the obtaining of such information.

4.               The Tenant will comply with all laws and regulations from time to time in force regulating the manufacture, use, storage, transportation or disposal of Hazardous Substances and will make, obtain, and deliver all reports and studies required by all governmental authorities having jurisdiction.

5.               The Landlord may at any time, and from time to time, upon reasonable notice, inspect the Tenant’s goods upon the Demised Premises and the Tenant’s records relating thereto for the purpose of identifying the nature of the goods and the existence or absence of any Hazardous Substances and the Tenant will assist the Landlord in doing so.

6.               If the Tenant or any of its authorized agents, suppliers, customers, invitees, sub-tenants, licensees or any other person having business with or under the control of the Tenant brings or creates upon the Demised Premises prior to the expiration of the Term any Hazardous Substance, then notwithstanding any rule of law to the contrary, such Hazardous Substance will be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Tenant, and will not become the property of the Landlord, notwithstanding the degree of affixation of the Hazardous Substance or the goods containing the Hazardous Substance to the Demised Premises and notwithstanding the expiry or earlier termination of this Lease.

7.               The obligations of the Tenant relating to Hazardous Substances will survive the expiry or earlier termination of this Lease, save only that, to the extent that the performance of those obligations requires access to or entry upon the Building or any part thereof by the Tenant following the expiry or earlier termination of this Lease, the Tenant will have such entry and access only at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Landlord may from time to time specify, acting reasonably, and the Landlord may, at the Tenant’s cost and expense,

21

undertake the performance of any necessary work in order to complete such obligations of the Tenant, provided that notwithstanding that the Landlord may have commenced such work, it will have no obligation to the Tenant to complete such work.

8.               The Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds the Landlord and the Landlord’s shareholders, directors officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage, claim, action, cost recovery claim, order, fine, penalty and expense (including, without limitation, legal fees on a solicitor and own client basis and costs incurred in the investigation, defence and settlement of claims and all costs of remediation of the Demised Premises or the Building or the Lands or any adjacent or other property, or each of them) that the Landlord may incur as a result of or in connection with or arising from the breach of this Section by the Tenant or in respect of non-compliance by the Tenant with any federal, provincial or municipal laws, by-laws, rules, regulations, orders or this Lease relating to Hazardous Substances.

If the Demised Premises shall be used by any person other than the Tenant or any assignee or subtenant consented to by the Landlord as provided for herein or for any purpose other than that as herein provided, without the written consent of the Landlord, or the Term or any of the goods and chattels of the Tenant shall be at any time seized in execution or attachment by any creditor of the Tenant in pursuance of a judgment or the Tenant shall make any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any bulk sale (other than a bulk sale in respect of an assignment of this Lease to which the Landlord has consented) or become bankrupt or insolvent or take the benefit of any Act now or hereafter in force for bankrupt or insolvent debtors or if the Tenant is a company or corporation any order shall be made for the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Tenant, then in any such case this Lease shall, at the option of the Landlord but subject to any agreement that may then be in effect with a mortgagee of this Lease in respect of a mortgage consented to by the Landlord, cease and determine and the Term shall immediately become forfeited and void and the then current month’s Basic Rent and Additional Rent and the next ensuing three (3) months’ Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall immediately become due and payable and the Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Demised Premises as though the Tenant or other occupant or occupants of the Demised Premises was or were holding over after the expiration of the Term without any right whatever, but if permitted by law the Tenant shall continue to be liable to the Landlord for the rent hereby reserved for the balance of the Term.

Section 9.04 - Distress

The Tenant waives and renounces the benefit of any present or future statute taking away or limiting the Landlord’s right of distress and covenants and agrees that notwithstanding any such statute none of the goods and chattels of the Tenant or of any other person in or upon the Demised Premises at any time during the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for rent in arrears.

Section 9.05 - Right of Entry as Agent of Tenant

The Tenant covenants and agrees that upon the Landlord becoming entitled to re-enter upon the Demised Premises under any of the provisions of this Lease, the Landlord, in addition to all other rights, shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises as agent of the Tenant, either by force or otherwise, without being liable for any prosecution therefor and to re-let the Demised Premises and to receive the rent therefor and, as agent of the Tenant, to take possession of any furniture or other property on the Demised Premises and to sell the same at a public or private sale with or without notice and to apply any net proceeds of such sale and any net rent derived from re-letting the Demised Premises (after all expenses) upon account of the rent hereby reserved, and the Tenant shall be liable to the Landlord for the deficiency, if any.

set out herein, and thereupon rent and any other payments for which the Tenant is liable under this Lease shall be computed, apportioned and paid in full to the date of such termination of this Lease, and the Tenant shall immediately deliver up possession of the Demised Premises to the Landlord, and the Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the same.

Section 9.07 - Landlord May Repair

If the Tenant fails to repair or maintain the Demised Premises in accordance with the provisions hereof, and provided that the Landlord has first given adequate notice to the Tenant to so repair or maintain, the Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees may (but shall not be obliged so to do) at any reasonable time enter the Demised Premises to remedy such failure or default and recover from the Tenant as Additional Rent the cost thereof (including the cost of repairs or cleaning required to be done after the Tenant vacates the Demised Premises at the end or sooner termination of the Term) plus an eighteen per cent (18%) supervision charge on the total amount of such costs. In making such repairs or doing such maintenance or cleaning, the Landlord may bring and leave upon the Demised Premises all necessary materials, tools and equipment and the Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant for any inconvenience, annoyance, loss of business or any injury suffered by the Tenant by reason of the Landlord effecting such repairs, maintenance or cleaning.

Section 9.08 - Landlord’s Performance of Tenant’s Obligations

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein contained, the Landlord may, but need not, remedy any default of the Tenant.

ARTICLE X - RENEWAL OPTIONS

Section 10.01 - Renewal

If the Tenant duly and punctually observes and performs the covenants, agreements, conditions and provisos in this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be observed and performed throughout the Term, the Landlord shall, at the expiration of the Term, at the cost of the Tenant and at its written request, delivered to the Landlord in the manner provided in this Lease, not earlier than twelve (12) months and not less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Term, grant to the Tenant at the Tenant’s expense a renewal lease of the Demised Premises for a further term of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”) from the expiration of the Term, upon all of the covenants, agreements, conditions and provisos contained in this Lease, except this covenant for renewal and any provisions for Landlord’s work, Tenant’s work, fixturing period, free rent, bonuses, leasehold improvements or incentive or inducement and except the Basic Rent to be paid during the Renewal Term.

The Basic Rent for the Renewal Term shall be the then fair market rent for the Demised Premises, being the rent which would be paid for the Demised Premises in their then current condition (including all leasehold improvements thereto) or in whatever condition the Landlord is entitled to require the Tenant to leave the Demised Premises at the expiration of the Term, whichever condition would result in higher rent, as being between persons dealing in good faith and at arm’s length and without regard to any restrictive covenants as to use. If the Landlord and the Tenant have not mutually agreed on the amount of Basic Rent three (3) months prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, the Basic Rent shall be decided by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator under the Commercial Arbitration Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 55 as amended and replaced from time to time, or such similar statute then in force in British Columbia, provided that the annual Basic Rent payable during the Renewal Term shall not be less than the annual Basic Rent payable during the last year of the Term. Until the Basic Rent has been determined as provided herein, the Tenant shall pay the same monthly rent as the last month of the Term and, upon the determination of the Basic Rent, the Landlord and the Tenant shall make the appropriate adjustments without interest.

The Landlord and the Tenant acknowledge and agree that by this section 10.01, the Tenant is given the option of renewing the Term only for one (1) renewal term of five (5) years and at the expiration of the Renewal Term there shall be no further right of renewal.

The exercise of this right of renewal is solely within the control of the Tenant and nothing contained in this Lease obligates or requires the Landlord to remind the Tenant to exercise this right of renewal. The Landlord’s acceptance of any future rent for the Renewal Term shall in no way be deemed a waiver of the Tenant’s requirement to give notice within the time limits set out in this paragraph 10.01 for renewing the Term.

ARTICLE XI - EXPROPRIATION

Section 11.01 - Total Expropriation of the Demised Premises

If the whole of the Demised Premises is expropriated, then the Term shall terminate as of the date of title vesting in the expropriating authority and rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination.

Section 11.02 - Partial Expropriation

If only part of the Demised Premises is expropriated, and such expropriation renders the Demised Premises unusable for the business of the Tenant, then the Term shall terminate as of the date of title vesting in the expropriating authority. If such expropriation is not extensive enough to render the Demised Premises unusable for the business of the Tenant, then the Landlord shall promptly restore the unexpropriated part of the Demised Premises to a condition comparable to its condition immediately prior to such expropriation to the extent of any expropriation proceeds recovered by the Landlord and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except after the date of such title vesting the Basic Rent payable pursuant to paragraph 2.04 and Additional Rent shall be proportionally reduced in accordance with the actual square footage of the Demised Premises. If any Parking Areas are expropriated, the Landlord may but shall not be obliged to supply the Tenant with other parking areas.

Section 11.03 - Landlord Award

If the Premises are expropriated in whole or in part, then, subject to paragraph 11.04, the Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award paid for such expropriation, and the Tenant waives any right or claim to any part thereof.

Section 11.04 - Tenant’s Award

The Tenant shall have the right to claim from the expropriating authority but not from the Landlord, such compensation as may be separately recoverable by the Tenant in the Tenant’s own right on account of any and all costs of loss (including loss of business) which the Tenant might incur including removing the Tenant’s merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment to a new location.

Section 11.05 - Temporary Expropriation

If the whole or any part of the Demised Premises is expropriated for any temporary use or purpose, this Lease shall remain in effect and the Tenant shall be entitled to such portion of any award made for such use with respect to the period of such expropriation which is within the Term. If a temporary expropriation remains in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord a sum equal to the reasonable cost of performing any obligations required of the Tenant by this Lease with respect to the surrender of the Demised Premises, or, in the case of a partial expropriation, the expropriated part of the Demised Premises including, without limitation, repairs and maintenance required, and upon such payment the Tenant shall be excused from any such obligations. If a temporary expropriation of the whole of the Demised Premises is for a period which extends beyond the Term, the Lease shall terminate as of the date of occupancy by the expropriating authority, and the

31

parties’ respective entitlement to compensation shall be as provided in paragraphs 11.03 and 11.04 and the rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted to the date of occupancy.

Section 11.06 - Notice

The parties shall, immediately upon service of process in connection with any expropriation or potential expropriation, give the other notice in writing thereof. Each party shall immediately execute and deliver to the other all instruments that may be required to effectuate the provisions of this Article XI.

ARTICLE XII - MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01 - Force Majeure

It is understood and agreed that whenever and to the extent that the Landlord or the Tenant shall be unable to fulfil or shall be delayed or restricted in the fulfilment of any obligation hereunder in respect of the supply or provision of any service or utility or the doing of any work or the making of any repairs by reason of being unable to obtain the material, goods, equipment, service or labour required to enable it to fulfil such obligation or by reason of any statute, law or order-in-council or any regulation or order passed or made pursuant thereto or by reason of the order or direction of any administrator, controller, board, governmental department or officer or other authority, or by reason of not being able to obtain any governmental or regulatory permission or authority required thereby, or by reason of any other cause beyond its control and which, by the exercise of due diligence, such party could not have prevented. Lack of funds, for whatever reason, on the part of such party shall be deemed not to be a force majeure. Whether of the foregoing character or otherwise, the Landlord or the Tenant, as the case may be, shall be relieved from the fulfilment of such obligation for the period of the delay or the period during which fulfilment is restricted (but only to the extent of such restriction), and the other party shall not be entitled to compensation for any inconvenience, nuisance or discomfort thereby occasioned. Provided, however, nothing contained in this section shall extend or otherwise change the Term.

Section 12.02 - Non-Waiver

Any condoning, waiving, excusing or overlooking by either party of any default, breach or non-observance by the other at any time or times of or in respect of any covenant, proviso or condition herein contained shall not operate as a waiver of that party’s rights hereunder in respect of any subsequent default, breach or non-observance nor so as to defeat or affect in any way the rights of that party in respect of any such default or breach, and no waiver shall be inferred from or implied by anything done or omitted by that party save only express waiver in writing. All rights and remedies of the parties in this Lease contained shall be cumulative and not alternative. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by the Landlord shall not be deemed a waiver of any preceding breach of any obligation hereunder by the Tenant other than the failure to pay the particular rent so accepted, and the acceptance by the Landlord of any rent from any person other than the Tenant shall not be construed as a recognition of any

32

rights not herein expressly granted, or as a waiver of any of the Landlord’s rights, or as an admission that such person is, or as a consent that such person shall be deemed to be, a subtenant or assignee of this Lease. Nevertheless the Landlord may accept rent from any person occupying the Demised Premises at any time without in any way waiving any right under this Lease.

Section 12.03 - Notice

This Lease is subject and subordinate to all mortgages and charges (including any deed of trust and mortgage securing bonds and all indentures supplemental thereto), options to purchase and rights of first refusal which may now or hereafter affect either the Lands or the Building (and whether or not such mortgages or charges affect only the Demised Premises or the Building or affect other premises as well) and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. The Tenant agrees to execute promptly any certificate in confirmation of such subordination as the Landlord may request, and if requested to attorn to such mortgagee or chargeholder (or purchaser or assignee).

Section 12.06 - Stratification

The parties hereto agree that the Landlord shall, at any time during the Term, be at liberty to subdivide the Lands and Building by way of a strata plan prepared and deposited in accordance with the requirements of the Strata Property Act of British Columbia, S.B.C. 1998, Ch. 43 and amendments thereto or such successor legislation as from time to time shall be in effect. In the event the Landlord proposes to subdivide the Lands and Buildings by way of a strata plan as aforesaid, the Tenant covenants and agrees to execute such strata plans or consents as may be required to be executed by the Tenant in order to facilitate the subdivision of the Lands and Building by way of a strata plan and in the event this Lease is registered in the appropriate Land Title Office in the Province of British Columbia, the Tenant further covenants and agrees to execute such partial discharges as may be required to discharge this Lease from those strata lots not forming part of the Demised Premises.

Section 12.07 - Sale by Landlord

Should at any time during the Term the Landlord convey, assign or otherwise divest itself of its interest in the Lands and Building, and should the Purchaser, transferee, assignee or other recipient of such interest agree with the Landlord to assume the obligations of the Landlord hereunder, the Landlord will be relieved of all obligations under this Lease from and after the effective date of such conveyance, assignment or transfer save and except for the obligations to account to the Tenant for any monies due and payable to the Tenant by the Landlord pursuant to this Lease.

Section 12.08 - Entire Agreement and Changes and Additions to Building

The Tenant acknowledges that there have been no representations made by the Landlord which are not set out in this Lease, that this Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the Landlord and the Tenant with respect to the Tenant’s use and occupation of the Demised Premises, and may not be modified except as herein explicitly provided or except by subsequent agreement in writing duly signed by the Landlord and the Tenant; and that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, but provided that the Tenant always has access to the Demised Premises and the

34

use of the parking referred to in Section 2.06, the Landlord shall have the right to make such changes or alterations as it may, from time to time, in its sole discretion decide in respect of the Parking Area and Common Areas or any part thereof including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to acquire other real property or dispose of (by dedication or otherwise) portions of the Lands, the right to extend in depth any of the buildings erected or to be erected upon the Lands, the right to change the size or shape or location of the Parking Area, the right to alter ingress and egress to and from the Lands, the right to change loading and unloading facilities and service entrances, the right to erect a further building or buildings on the Lands, the right to sell or lease part or parts thereof, and the Landlord reserves the right to add one or more storeys and construct additions to the Building or any part thereof at any future time or times, and shall not in any event be liable to the Tenant for any minor interference or inconvenience arising from any of the foregoing. When and so often as the Landlord shall so acquire or dispose of the Lands then, at the Landlord’s option, the reference herein to Lands shall mean and refer to the Lands after such acquisition or disposition. In no event shall the capacity of the Parking Area be reduced below that required from time to time by governmental authorities.

When necessary by reason of accident or other cause, or in order to make any repairs or alterations or improvements to the Demised Premises or to other portions of the Building or Lands, including those contemplated in this section, the Landlord may cause such reasonable and temporary obstruction of the Parking Area and Common Areas, outside of business hours wherever reasonably possible, as may be necessary, and may interrupt outside of business hours wherever reasonably possible the supply to the Demised Premises of heat, electricity, water and other services when necessary and until such repairs, alterations or improvements have been completed. There shall be no abatement in rent because of any such obstruction, interruption or suspension, provided that such repairs, alterations or improvements are made as expeditiously as is reasonably possible.

If, with the consent of the Landlord, but without any further written agreement, the Tenant shall continue to occupy the Demised Premises and pay rent after the expiration of the Term, the Tenant shall be a monthly Tenant at a monthly rent equal to one hundred and twenty-five per cent (125%) of the monthly instalment of Basic Rent payable on the last monthly payment date during the Term and on the terms and conditions herein set out, in so far as the same are applicable to a monthly tenancy, except as to length of tenancy. Said monthly tenancy may be terminated by either party on at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the other.

Section 12.10 - Time of Essence

Time is of the essence of this Lease, and of all covenants, agreements, provisos and conditions contained in this Lease.

Section 12.11 - Successors and Assigns

Section 12.12 - Non-registration of Lease

The Landlord and Tenant agree that his Lease shall not be registered in the appropriate Land Title Office. In the event the parties agree at some time to register this Lease, then the Tenant covenants and agrees with the Landlord that the Landlord shall only be obligated to execute and deliver this Lease in form registrable under the Land Title Act or any other statute governing registration at the expense of the Tenant and, further, the Landlord shall not be obliged to deliver a plan in registrable form of the Building or the Demised Premises, except at the expense of the Tenant.

The Tenant’s fixtures (other than trade fixtures), together with all alterations, additions, substitutions and improvements made and installed by the Tenant upon or in the Demised Premises and which in any manner are attached to, on, or under the floors, walls or ceilings of the Demised Premises shall upon the termination of this Lease become the Landlord’s absolute property without compensation therefor to the Tenant, and shall not be removed by the Tenant either during or after the Term save as herein provided. The making of the Tenant’s repairs pursuant to this Lease or the making of permissible Tenant’s improvements and alterations in accordance with this Lease shall not constitute a removal for the purposes thereof.

The Tenant shall in the case of every removal, either during or at the end of the Term, make good any damage caused to the Demised Premises or to the Building in the course of such removal.
