This Section will not be interpreted to make the Tenant responsible for ground rentals that may be payable by the Landlord or the owners, payments to Mortgagees or, subject to Section 5.01, the Landlord’s income taxes. Capital Tax is not considered as income tax.

The Tenant will pay to the Landlord, in the manner specified by the Landlord, the full amount of all goods and services taxes, rental taxes, value-added taxes, multi-stage taxes, business transfer taxes, and any other taxes imposed in respect of the Rent payable by the Tenant under this Lease or in respect of the rental of space under this Lease, (herein called “Rental Taxes”), Rental Taxes are payable by the Tenant whether they are characterized as a goods and services tax, sales tax, value-added tax, multi-stage tax, business transfer tax, or otherwise, with the intent that the Landlord be fully Indemnified in respect of all Rental Taxes payable or collectible by the Landlord in respect of Rent or the rental of space under this Lease, Rental Taxes payable by the Tenant (i) will be calculated by the Landlord in accordance with the applicable legislation; (ii) will be paid to the Landlord at the same time as the amounts to which the Rental Taxes are payable to the Landlord under this Lease (or upon demand at such other time or times as the Landlord from time to time determines); and (iii) despite anything to the contrary, will not be considered to be Rent but the Landlord will have all of the same remedies for, and rights of recovery with respect to such amounts, as it has for non-payment of Rent under this Lease or at law. If a deposit is forfeited or an amount becomes payable to the Landlord due to a default or as consideration for a modification of this Lease and the applicable legislation deems a part of the deposit or amount to include Rental Taxes, then the deposit or amount will be grossed up to ensure that the full amount of the forfeited deposit or amount payable is received by the Landlord in full without encroachment by any deemed payment, input credit or otherwise.

GENERAL MATTERS OF INTENT AND INTERPRETATION

Each obligation under this Lease is a covenant.

The captions, section numbers, article numbers and Table of Contents do not define, limit, construe or describe the scope or intent of the sections or articles.

The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to the Landlord or the Tenant is a proper reference even though the Landlord or the Tenant is an individual, a partnership, a corporation or a group of two or more individuals, partnerships or corporations. The grammatical changes needed to make the provisions of this lease apply in the plural sense when there is more than one Landlord or Tenant and to corporations, associations, partnerships or individuals, males or females, are implied.

Whenever a statement or provision in this Lease is followed by words denoting inclusion or example (such as “including” or “such as”) and then a list of, or reference to, specific matters or items, such list or reference shall not be read so as to limit or restrict the generality of such statement or provision, even though words such as “without limitation” or “without limiting the generality of the foregoing” do not precede such list or reference.

If a part of this Lease or the application of it to a Person or circumstance, is to any extent held or rendered invalid, unenforceable or illegal, that part:

is independent of the remainder of the Lease and is severable from it, and its invalidity, unenforceability or illegality does not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this Lease; and

continues to be applicable to and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law against any Person and circumstance except those as to which it has been held or rendered invalid, unenforceable or illegal.

This Lease will be construed in accordance with the laws of Canada and the Province.

Time is of the essence of this Lease.

The Landlord acts as agent for, or as trustee for, the Property Manager, all Mortgagees and the Owners to the extent necessary to ensure that all exculpatory provisions and indemnities included in their favor in this Lease are enforceable against the Tenant by them, and by the Landlord.

To the extent that liability exists at the time of expiry or earlier surrender or termination of this Lease, the covenant(s) from which such liability is derived shall survive such expiry or earlier surrender or termination.

Prior to the Commencement Date and the beginning of each Accounting Period thereafter, the Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant a bona fide estimate of the Tenants Share of Taxes, its Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and the Management Fee for the appropriate Accounting Period and, without further notice, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord in monthly installments in advance one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimate simultaneously with the Tenants payments of Basic Rent during such Accounting Period. Such costs for the 2017 fiscal year are estimated to be Twelve Dollars ($12.00) plus GST, per square foot of Rentable Area, subject to adjustment as provided for below.

SECURITY DEPOSIT

The Security Deposit referred to in Section 1.01(j) of this Lease shall be held by the Landlord, prior to and throughout the Term, without liability for interest, as security for the performance by the Tenant of all of its covenants and obligations under this Lease.

If all or any portion of the Security Deposit is so appropriated and applied, the Tenant shall, upon written request of the Landlord, forthwith remit to the Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore the Security Deposit to the original sum deposited, and the Tenants failure to do so within five (5) days after receipt of such request constitutes a breach of this Lease.

Provided that the Landlord obtains a non-disturbance agreement from any holder of an Encumbrance (as defined below) confirming that such holder will not, so long as the Tenant is not in default under this Lease, disturb the Tenant’s occupation and possession of the Premises, this lease is and will remain subordinate to every mortgage, charge, trust deed, financing, refinancing or collateral financing, present or future, and the instruments of, as well as the charge or lien resulting from all or any of them and any renewals or extensions of them from time to time (collectively, an “Encumbrance”) against the Premises or the Building and the Tenant will, on request, sign any document requested by the Landlord or the Owners to confirm the subordination of this lease to any Encumbrance and to all advances made or to be made on the security of the Encumbrance. The Tenant will also, if the Landlord requests it to do so, attorn to the holder of any Encumbrance, to the Owners or to any purchaser, transferee or disposee of the Building or of an ownership or equity interest in the Building and the Tenant will, on request, sign any document requested by the Landlord or the Owners to confirm such attornment.

If possession is taken under, or any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or if a power of sale is exercised resulting from an Encumbrance the Tenant will attorn to the Person that so takes possession if that Person requests it and will recognize that Person as the Landlord under this Lease.

The form and content of any document confirming or effecting the subordination and attornments provided for in this Section 14.02 will be that required by the Landlord or the holder of the Encumbrance in each case, and each such document will be delivered by the Tenant to the Landlord within ten (10) days after the Landlord requests it.

REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the full amount of the current months’ Rent together with the next three (3) months’ installments of Basic Rent, Rental Taxes and Additional Rent will immediately become due and payable and the Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies without prejudice to any other rights which it has under this Lease or at law:

to terminate this Lease and re-enter and repossess the Premises and remove all Persons and property from the Premises:

seize, sell, dispose of or store all or any property on the Premises, all at the Tenants expense as the Landlord, considers appropriate, all without notice to the Tenant, without legal proceedings and without liability for loss or damage and without prejudice to the rights of the Landlord to recover damages and all other amounts which the Landlord is entitled to claim by reason of the Tenant’s breach of this Lease; and

to enter the Premises as agent of the Tenant but without terminating this Lease in order to relet the Premises or a part of them for whatever term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term) and at whatever Rent and upon whatever other terms the Landlord considers advisable. No repossession of the Premises by the Landlord will be construed as an election by the Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of termination is given to the Tenant. On each such reletting, the Rent received from the reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any expenses incurred by the Landlord with respect to any such reletting (including brokerage fees, solicitors fees and the costs of any alterations or repairs needed to facilitate the reletting); second, to the payment of any amounts owed to the Landlord by the Tenant that are not Rent or Rental Taxes; third, to the payment of Rent and Rental Taxes in arrears, and the residue, if any, will be held by the Landlord and applied to payment of future Rent and Rental Taxes as it becomes due and payable. If the Rent and Rental Taxes received from a reletting during a month are less than that to be paid by the Tenant during that month, the Tenant will pay the deficiency to the Landlord (which deficiency will be calculated and paid monthly in advance on or before the first day of every month). If the Landlord repossesses the Premises in accordance with this Section 15.02(a)(iii), the Landlord may remove all property from the Premises, sell or dispose of it as the Landlord deems fit or store it at the Tenant’s cost, without notice, without legal proceedings, without liability for loss or damage and without prejudice to the Landlord’s rights to recover damages and all other amounts which the Landlord is entitled to claim by reason of the Tenant’s breach of this Lease. If the Landlord relets without terminating, It may afterwards elect to terminate this Lease for the previous default;

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Landlord shall be entitled to recover from the Tenant all damages, costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord as a result of the default by the Tenant including, without limitation, all arrears of Rent, all legal fees on a solicitor and client basis (including, without limitation, those incurred in connection with recovery of possession of the Premises or in connection with the recovery of Rent or Rental Taxes) and, if this Lease is terminated by the Landlord, any deficiency between those amounts which would have been payable by the Tenant for the portion of the Term following any termination and the net amounts actually received by the Landlord during such period of time with respect to the Premises.
