The demise of the Leased Premises, as aforesaid, includes, without limitation, the windows, exterior walls and to the centre of the interior walls comprising the Leased Premises.
(b) Prior to the Commencement Date, the Landlord shall provide to the Tenant its architect’s certification of the rentable area of the leased premises whose determination shall be binding upon the parties.
(c) The Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, at all times, in common with others entitled thereto, to the use of the common driveways, entrances and exits, roadways, pedestrian walkways, loading and unloading docks, service areas and all other common areas and facilities of the Building and the Lands (the “Common Areas and Facilities”) provided from time to time by the Landlord. However, the Landlord shall have the right to make all such changes, improvements or alterations as the Landlord may, in its sole discretion, from time to time decide in respect of the Building and the Common Areas and Facilities, including, without limitation, the right to change the location and layout of the parking areas. Any such changes, improvements or alterations shall be carried out by the Landlord with a view to minimizing, to the extent reasonably possible under the circumstances, interference with the Tenant’s use of the Building and the Common Areas and Facilities. The use of all Common Areas and Facilities shall be subject to the provisions of this Lease and to the rules and regulations made by the Landlord with respect thereto from time to time.

2. TERM
(a) To have and to hold the Leased Premises, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, for and during the term (the “Term”) which shall be the period of Five (5) years to be computed from and inclusive of the 1st day of November, 2005, (the “Commencement Date”) and to be fully complete and ended on the 31st day of October, 2010;
(b) Provided, and it is hereby agreed, that if due to the failure of the Landlord for any reason whatsoever to complete the Landlord’s work set out in Schedule “C” attached or to make available the services which the Landlord is hereby obligated to furnish (other than as a result of the Tenant not providing complete plans and specifications for the construction of the Leased Premises in a timely manner in accordance with the provisions of Schedule “C”, in which case there shall be no delay in the commencement date and no abatement of any part of the rent), the Leased Premises or any part thereof are not ready for occupancy by the Tenant on the Commencement Date as set out in Paragraph 2(a) hereof, no part of the rent or only a proportionate part thereof in the event that the Tenant shall occupy a portion of the Leased Premises, shall be payable for the period prior to the date when the Leased Premises are ready for occupancy and the full rent shall accrue only after such aforementioned date. The Tenant hereby agrees to accept such abatement of rent in full settlement of any and all claims which the Tenant may otherwise have by reason of the Leased Premises not being ready for occupancy on the Commencement Date, and in such event, the commencement and expiration dates of the Term as set out in Paragraph 2(a) hereof shall be extended accordingly. Provided further, that when the Landlord has substantially completed the Leased Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease and the Construction Lien Act (Ontario) and amendments thereto, delivered possession of the Leased Premises to the Tenant and made available the required services, the Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent for any delay in occupancy due to the Tenant’s failure to complete all installations or other work required to be completed by the Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Lease or for the purpose of carrying on its business operations in the Leased Premises.

(d) Following execution of this Lease and substantial completion of its leasehold improvements, but in no event earlier than April 1, 2005, the Tenant shall be permitted to occupy the Leased Premises for the purpose of conducting its business therein, provided it shall comply with and abide by all the terms and conditions of this Lease, save and except for the payment of Minimum Rent and its share of Realty Taxes and Operating Costs. The Tenant will be responsible for the payment of its share of Hydro Charges while in occupancy prior to the Commencement Date which costs are estimated to be $1.75 per square foot.

9. TENANT’S COVENANTS
     The Tenant covenants with the landlord
(a) Payment of Rent
     To pay Minimum Rent and additional rent in the manner and at the times herein reserved.
(b) Business Taxes
          That in each and every year during the Term, the Tenant shall pay as additional rent and discharge within ten (10) days after the same becomes due and payable, all taxes, rates, duties, assessments and other charges that may be levied, rated, charged or assessed against or in respect of all improvements, equipment and facilities on or in the Leased Premises and every tax and licence fee in respect of any and every business carried on thereon or therein or in respect of the use or occupancy thereof by the Tenant and any and every permitted occupant of the Leased Premises (other than corporate income, profits or excess profits taxes assessed upon the income of the Landlord), whether any such assessment tax, rate duty or licence fee is charged by any federal, municipal, provincial, school or other bodies during the Term. The Tenant will indemnify and keep indemnified the Landlord form and against payment for all loss, costs, charges and expenses, occasioned by or arising from any and all such taxes, levies, rates, duties assessments, licence fees (including all real property taxes pursuant to Paragraph 9 (c) hereof), and any and all taxes which may in the future be levied in lieu thereof or in addition thereto. Any such loss, costs, charges and expenses suffered by the Landlord pursuant to this paragraph 9(b) may be collected by the Landlord as rent with all rights of distress and otherwise as reserved to the Landlord in respect of rent in arrears. The Tenant further covenants and agrees that upon the request of the Landlord, the Tenant will promptly deliver to the Landlord for inspection receipts for payment of all taxes, rates, duties, assessments and other charges payable by the Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 9(b) which were due and payable up to one month prior to such request and will furnish such other information in connection therewith as the Landlord may reasonably require.

(c)    Realty Taxes
(i) That the Tenant will, as additional rent, in each and every year during the Term and within the time or times hereinafter provided, pay directly to the Landlord or to the taxing authority as the Landlord may direct from time to time, and discharge all real property taxes (including local improvement rates, impost charges or levies), rates, duties and assessments of any nature or kind that may be levied, rated, charged or assessed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof, from time to time by any taxing authority, whether federal, provincial, municipal, school or otherwise, and including, but without limitation, any such taxes payable by the Landlord which are imposed in lieu of or as a substitute for or in addition to such real property taxes or on account of the Landlord’s ownership of the Lands and the Building, whether of the foregoing character or whether same existed at the commencement of the Term (collectively “real property taxes”).
(ii) If there are separate real property tax bills and separate real property assessment notices for the Leased Premises, the Tenant agrees to provide the Landlord within ten (10) days after demand therefor by the Landlord with a copy of any separate real property tax bills and separate real property assessment notice for the Leased Premises. The Tenant will, upon request, promptly deliver to the Landlord receipts for payment of all such real property taxes paid to any such taxing authorities, as aforesaid, and will furnish and deliver all such other information in connection therewith as the Landlord may reasonably require. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord its proportionate share of all real property taxes levied or assessed against the Common Areas and Facilities of the Building on the basis of a separate real property tax bill and separate real property assessment notice for such Common Areas and Facilities.
(iii) If there is not a separate real property tax bill and separate real property assessment notice for the Leased Premises and the Common Areas and Facilities, the Tenant shall pay its share (the “Tenant’s Share”) of such real property taxes (including local improvement taxes and rates) which may be levied, rated, charged or assessed by any lawful taxing authority against the lands, buildings and improvements comprising the Building (including the Common Areas and Facilities) or on account of the Landlord’s ownership of them within the time or times hereinafter provided. The Tenant’s Share shall be determined by the Landlord, acting reasonably and equitably, by allocating property taxes amongst the tenants of the Building. Realty Taxes shall in every instance be calculated on the basis of the total Rentable Area of the Building being assessed as fully leased and operational.
  (iv)   Payment of Tenant’s Share of Realty Taxes
     The amounts payable by the Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 9(c) may be estimated by the Landlord and shall be payable by the Tenant for the period covering the first nine (9) months of each calendar year throughout the Term or as may be estimated by the Landlord for such other period or periods as the Landlord may determine from time to time. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the Tenant’s share as so estimated of such amount in monthly instalments in advance on the first day of each calendar month during such period, together with all other rental payments provided for in this Lease. Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, if at the time when payment by the Landlord of the real property taxes (including local improvement rates), whether interim, instalment or final is due, the Landlord shall not have on deposit a sufficient sum to pay the full amount of such real property taxes, the Tenant shall forthwith, upon demand, pay, as additional rent, the Tenant’s share, determined as aforesaid of the amount of any such deficiency to the Landlord. When the final real property tax bill in any year has been received, which relates to the period for which such estimated payments have been made by the Tenant, as aforesaid, the parties hereto agree to adjust all payments made by the Tenant on account of real property taxes in accordance with such final real property tax bill. The Tenant shall pay the Tenant’s proportionate share (as defined in paragraph 11(b) of this Lease) of any and all

5


 

costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in respect of any appeal or contestation conducted by the Landlord of the real property taxes levied or assessed against the Building.
(d) Utilities
(i) That the Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall promptly pay all charges for water, gas, electricity, telephone and any and all other utilities used or consumed in, or, any other charges levied or assessed on or in respect to, the Leased Premises, and for all fittings, machines, apparatus or other things leased in respect thereof, and for all work or services performed by any corporation or commission in connection with such public or private utilities. Should the Landlord elect to supply water, gas, electricity, and/or sewer services for the Building, or any other utility used or consumed, or to be used or consumed, in the Leased Premises, the Tenant shall purchase and pay for the same as additional rent payable on demand to the Landlord, at rates not in excess of public utility rates for the same service, if applicable. In no event shall the Landlord be liable for, nor have any obligation with respect to, any interruption or cessation of, or any failure in the supply of any such utilities, services or systems, including, without limitation, the water and sewage systems, to the Building or to the Leased Premises, whether or not supplied by the Landlord or others.
(ii) If requested by the Landlord, or if included as part of the Tenant’s work in respect of the Leased Premises, the Tenant prior to the commencement of the Term shall install, at its sole cost and expense, any and all separate meters which are necessary in order to measure the consumption of utilities or services used or consumed on the Leased Premises. In the event that separate meters are not available or cannot be installed in the Leased Premises, the Tenant shall pay the Tenant’s proportionate share (as defined in Paragraph 11 (b) of this Lease) of the total cost incurred by the Landlord in the supply of all utilities and services to the Building. Without in any way limiting the provisions of this Paragraph 9(d)(ii), if at any time during the Term, the Landlord shall determine, in its sole discretion, that the Tenant’s use of any utility or service, including, without limitation, water, used or consumed on the Leased Premises is in any way unusual or of an excessive nature, the Landlord may, at its option and at the sole cost and expense of the Tenant, install in the Leased Premises a separate meter or submeter with respect to any such utility or service, including, without limitation, a separate meter for the measurement of hot and cold water, whereupon the Tenant’s cost in connection with any such utility or service shall be determined in accordance with such separate meter or submeter.
(e) Repairs
          That the Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense and at all times, keep and maintain the whole of the Leased Premises and every part thereof (including, without limitation, all entrances, glass, doors, fixtures, equipment (including without limitation any plumbing, heating air-conditioning and ventilation equipment in the Leased Premises) and appurtenances thereof and improvements thereto) in good order and first class condition and shall promptly make all needed repairs and replacements therein and thereto and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises well painted, clean and in a tidy condition, all as a careful owner would do.
(f) Entry by Landlord
          That it shall be lawful for the Landlord and its agent(s) at all reasonable times during the Term, on reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours, to enter the Leased Premises to inspect the condition thereof. Where an inspection reveals that repairs or

6


 

replacements are necessary, the Landlord shall give to the Tenant notice in writing, and immediately thereafter the Tenant will forthwith proceed to make all necessary repairs or replacements in a good and workmanlike manner and to the satisfaction of the Landlord, so as to complete same within the time or times provided for in the notice delivered by the Landlord as aforesaid. The failure by the Landlord to give notice shall not relieve the Tenant from any of its obligations to repair or replace in accordance with the provisions hereof. Provided further, that if the Tenant refuses or neglects to repair promptly and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord as required pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 9(e) hereof or in accordance with any notice received from the Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 9(f), the Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such repairs or replacements without liability to the Tenant for any loss or damage which may occur to the Tenant’s property or to the Tenant’s business by reason thereof and upon completion, the Tenant shall forthwith pay upon demand the Landlord’s cost for making any such repairs or replacements plus a sum equal to fifteen percent (15%) thereof for overhead, as additional rent. The Tenant agrees that the making of any repairs or replacements by the Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 9(f) is not a re-entry or a breach of any covenant for quiet enjoyment contained in this Lease.
(g) Surrender of Leased Premises
     That, at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, the Tenant shall peaceably surrender and yield up vacant possession of the Leased Premises to the Landlord in as good condition and repair, normal wear and tear excepted, as the Tenant is required to maintain the Leased Premises throughout the Term. The Tenant shall surrender all keys for the Leased Premises to the Landlord at the place then fixed for the payment of Minimum Rent and shall inform the Landlord of all combinations of all locks, safes and vaults of any kind in the Leased Premises. The Tenant shall, however, if requested by the Landlord, remove at its sole cost and expense all improvements, erections, alterations, fixtures or other appurtenances made, placed or erected by the Tenant at any time or times prior to or during the Term in or on the Leased Premises and shall repair, at its sole cost and expense, all damage to the Leased Premises caused by their installation and/or removal. The Tenant’s obligation to observe and perform the covenant contained in this Paragraph 9(g) shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term. (see Section 33(b) Removal of leasehold Improvements by Tenant)
(h) Heat
     To heat, at its own expense, from heating equipment originally supplied by the Landlord, the Leased Premises to a degree sufficient to protect the Leased Premises and their contents from damage by cold or frost, and to operate, maintain, repair or, if necessary, replace, at its own expense, such heating and other mechanical equipment originally supplied by the Landlord. Further, the Tenant will, at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, peacefully yield up unto the Landlord such heating equipment and all other equipment and appurtenances thereto in good and substantial repair and condition.
(i) Public Orders
     That the Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all provisions of law, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the requirements of all federal, provincial and municipal legislative enactments, by-laws or regulations now or hereafter in force which relate to the Leased Premises and the conduct of business therein, or to the making of any repairs, replacements, alterations, additions, changes, substitutions or improvements of or to the Leased Premises. The Tenant will further comply with all police, fire, health and sanitary regulations imposed by any governmental authorities or made by fire insurance underwriters.
(j) Assignment and Subletting
(i) That the Tenant will not assign this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises, nor mortgage or encumber this Lease or the Leased Premises or any part thereof, nor suffer or permit the occupation of, or part with or share possession of, all or any part of the Leased Premises by any other person, firm

7


 

or corporation (all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as a “transfer”) without the prior consent of the Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (ii) of this Paragraph 9(j). The consent by the Landlord to any transfer, if granted, shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent transfer. This prohibition against a transfer is construed so as to include a prohibition against any transfer by operation of law and no transfer shall take place by reason of a failure by the Landlord to reply to a request by the Tenant for consent to a transfer. If there is a permitted transfer of this Lease, the Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “transferee”), and apply the net amount collected to the Minimum Rent required to be paid pursuant to this Lease, but no acceptance by the Landlord of any payments by a transferee shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant or the acceptance of the transferee as Tenant or a release of the Tenant for the further performance by the Tenant of the covenants or obligations on the part of the Tenant herein contained. Any document evidencing the Landlord’s consent to a transfer of the Lease, if permitted or consented to by the Landlord shall be prepared by the Landlord’s solicitors, and all legal fees with respect thereto shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord forthwith upon demand. Any consent by the Landlord shall be subject to the Tenant causing any such transferee to promptly execute an agreement directly with the Landlord agreeing to be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease as if such transferee had originally executed this Lease as Tenant. . Notwithstanding that any such transfer is permitted or consented to by the Landlord, the Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable with the transferee upon this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease
     (ii) Landlord’s Option

If this Lease is terminated the Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises whereupon the Landlord’s rights and remedies contained in Paragraph 14 hereof shall apply. The Tenant shall make available to the Landlord all corporate books and records of the Tenant for inspection at all reasonable times in order to ascertain whether there has been any change in control.

(I) Nuisance
     That the Tenant will not do or omit to do or permit to be done or omitted anything upon or in respect of the Leased Premises, the doing or omission of which, as the case may be, shall be or result in any nuisance or menace to the Landlord or to the other tenants of the Building, and including, without limitation, the Tenant shall not keep in, on or around the Leased Premises any animals, birds or other pets; and that no machinery shall be used on the Leased Premises which shall cause any undue vibration in or to the Leased Premises, and if the Landlord or any other occupants of the Building shall complain that any machinery or operation thereof in or on the Leased Premises is a nuisance to it or them, as the case may be upon receiving notice thereof, the Tenant will immediately cease such nuisance.

(4) public liability and property damage insurance including personal injury liability, contractual liability, non-owned automobile liability and owners’ and contractors’ protective insurance coverage with respect to the Leased Premises and the Tenant’s use of the Common Areas and Facilities coverage to include the activities and operations conducted by the Tenant and any other parties on the Leased Premises and by the Tenant and any other parties performing work on behalf of the Tenant and those for whom the Tenant is in law responsible in any other part of the Building.

11


 

(iii) All insurance policies of the Tenant shall be taken out with insurers acceptable to the Landlord and shall be in a form satisfactory from time to time to the Landlord. The Tenant agrees that certificates of insurance or, if required by the Landlord or the Landlord’s mortgagee, certified copies of each such insurance policy, will be delivered to the Landlord as soon as practicable after the placing of the required insurance. All such policies shall contain an undertaking by the insurers to notify the Landlord and the Landlord’s mortgagee in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change, cancellation, failure to renew, or termination thereof.
(iv) The Tenant agrees that if the Tenant fails to take out or to keep in force any such insurance referred to in Paragraph 10(b)(i), or should any such insurance not be approved by either the Landlord or the Landlord’s mortgagee, and should the Tenant not rectify the situation within forty-eight (48) hours after written notice by the Landlord to the Tenant (stating if the Landlord or the Landlord’s mortgagee does not approve of such insurance, the reasons therefor), the Landlord has the right without assuming any obligation in connection therewith, to affect such insurance at the sole cost and expense of the Tenant and all outlays by the Landlord shall be immediately paid by the Tenant to the Landlord as additional rent on the first day of the next month following such payment by the Landlord, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Landlord under this Lease.
(v) If the occupancy of the Leased Premises, the conduct of business in the Leased Premises, or any acts or omissions of the Tenant in the Building or any part thereof, causes or results in any increase in premiums for the insurance carried from time to time by the Landlord with respect to the Building, the Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums, as additional rent, forthwith after invoices for such additional premiums are rendered by the Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums are caused by or result from the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Building showing the various components of such rate shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up such rate. The Tenant shall comply promptly with all requirements of the Insurer’s Advisory Organization (or any successor thereof) or of any insurer now or hereafter in effect, pertaining to or affecting the Leased Premises.
(vi) If any insurance policy upon the Building or any part thereof shall be cancelled or shall be threatened by the insurer to be cancelled, or the coverage thereunder reduced in any way by the insurer by reason of the use and occupation of the Leased Premises or any part thereof by the Tenant or by any assignee or subtenant of the Tenant, or by anyone permitted by the Tenant to be upon the Leased Premises, and if the Tenant fails to remedy the conditions giving rise to the cancellation, threatened cancellation or reduction of coverage within forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof by the Landlord, the Landlord may, at its option, either (a) re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises forthwith by leaving upon the Leased Premises a notice in writing of its intention so to do and thereupon the Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as contained in Paragraph 14 hereof or (b) enter upon the Leased Premises and remedy the conditions giving rise to such cancellation, threatened cancellation or reduction, and the Tenant shall forthwith pay the cost thereof to the Landlord, which cost may be collected by the Landlord as additional rent and the Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused to any property of the Tenant or of others located on the Leased Premises as a result of such entry. The Tenant agrees that any such entry by the Landlord is not a re-entry or a breach of any covenant for quiet enjoyment contained in this Lease.
(vii) The Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, replace any plate glass or other glass that has been damaged, broken or removed during the Term and shall at all times keep the plate glass on the Leased Premises fully insured, pay the premiums therefor and provide the Landlord with a certificate of such plate glass insurance.

11.   OPERATING COSTS
(a) In each year of the Term, the Tenant will pay to the Landlord in addition to the Minimum Rent specified in Paragraph 4 hereof, as further additional rent, the Tenant’s proportionate share (as hereinafter defined) of the Landlord’s costs and expenses of maintaining, operating, insuring, repairing, replacing, restoring, supervising and administering (collectively “Operating Costs”) the Building and the Common Areas and Facilities, such costs and expenses to include, without limitation (i) the total costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in insuring the Building pursuant to Paragraph 10(a)(i) hereof; (ii) real property taxes (including school taxes and local improvement taxes and rates) and all business and other taxes, if any, from time to time payable by the Landlord which are levied or assessed or allocated by the Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 9(c) hereof, against or in respect of the Common Areas and Facilities or against the Landlord on account of its ownership thereof, capital taxes, and tax of any kind on rentals (iii) all expenses incurred or paid by the Landlord in connection with operating, maintaining, managing, lighting, cleaning (including without limitation, the supply of utilities and services in respect of the Common Areas and Facilities, snow and ice removal and clearance), supervising, policing, landscaping, repairing and replacing the Building and all Common Areas and Facilities, including, without limitation, all monies paid to persons, firms or corporations employed by the Landlord to perform same; and (iv) an administration fee of fifteen percent (15%) of Operating Costs.
(b) The term “proportionate share” as used in this Paragraph 11 and elsewhere in this Lease, shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Leased Premises and the denominator of which is the total rentable area of the Building. The Tenant’s proportionate share is approximately 11.5%.
(c) The amounts payable by the Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 11 may be estimated by the Landlord for such period or periods as the Landlord may determine from time to time, and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the Tenant’s proportionate share as so estimated of such amounts in monthly instalments in advance during such period together with all other rental payments provided for in this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this subparagraph (c) to the contrary, at such time as the Landlord expends any money or incurs any charges or expenses in respect of the cost of maintaining, operating, repairing, replacing or administrating the Building and the Common Areas and Facilities thereof, pursuant to Paragraph 11 (a) hereof, or, as soon as bills for all or any portion of the amounts so estimated by the Landlord, as aforesaid, are received, the Landlord may thereafter bill the Tenant for the Tenant’s proportionate share thereof (less all amounts previously paid by the Tenant on the basis of the Landlord’s estimate aforesaid, which have not already been so applied) and the Tenant shall forthwith pay to the Landlord upon demand such amounts so expended or billed, as additional rent. At the end of the period for which such estimated payments have been made, the Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant an audited statement of the actual amounts and costs referred to in this Paragraph 11 and the determination of the Tenant’s proportionate share thereof, and if necessary, an adjustment shall be made between the parties hereto. If the Tenant shall have paid in excess of such actual amounts, the excess shall be refunded by the Landlord within 30 days after delivery of the said statement. If the amount the Tenant has paid is less than such actual amounts, the Tenant agrees to pay to the Landlord any such extra amount or amounts with the next monthly payment of Minimum Rent. Any dispute by the Tenant of any item on the statement provided to the Tenant by the Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 11(c) must be brought to the attention of the Landlord, in writing, within two (2) months of deemed receipt of the statement by the Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 28 hereof or shall be forever barred.

Upon each such reletting all rentals received by the Landlord from such reletting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than rent due hereunder, owing by the Tenant to the Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees, solicitor’s fees and the costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of all rentals due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by the Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If the rentals received from such reletting during any month shall be less than that to be paid during that month by the Tenant hereunder, the Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to the Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by the Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to the Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, the Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Should the Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any remedies it may have, it may recover from the Tenant all damages it has incurred or may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, reasonable solicitor’s fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to the rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated Term over the then reasonable rental value as determined by the Landlord for the remainder of the stated Term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from the Tenant to the Landlord.

15.   EXPENSES AND REMOVAL OF CHATTELS
(a) In case suit shall be brought for recovery of possession of the Leased Premises, or, for the recovery of rent or any other amounts due under the provisions of this Lease, or because of the breach of any other covenants herein contained on the part of the Tenant to be kept or performed, and a breach shall be established, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all expenses incurred therefor, including a reasonable solicitor’s fee.
(b) In case of removal by the Tenant of the goods and chattels of the Tenant from the Leased Premises, the Landlord may follow same for thirty (30) days in the same manner as is provided for in the Commercial Tenancies Act R.S.O 1990 cL.7, as amended.
16.   LANDLORD MAY CURE TENANT’S DEFAULT
     If the Tenant shall fail to pay, when due, any amounts or charges required to be paid pursuant to this Lease, the Landlord, after giving five (5) days notice in writing to the Tenant, may, but shall not be obligated to, pay all or any part of the same. If the Tenant is in default in the performance of any of its covenants or obligations hereunder, (other than payment of Minimum Rent or other sums required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Lease), the Landlord may from time to time after the giving of such notice as it shall deem sufficient, having regard to the circumstances applicable (or no notice in the case of an emergency or apprehended emergency) perform or cause to be performed any of such covenants or obligations or any part thereof, and for such purpose may do such things as may be requisite, including without limitation, entering upon the Leased Premises and doing such things upon or in respect of the Leased Premises or any part thereof as the Landlord may reasonably consider requisite or necessary. All expenses incurred and expenditures made by or on behalf of the Landlord under this Paragraph 16, plus a sum equal to fifteen percent (15%) thereof shall be additional rent hereunder and shall be paid by the Tenant upon demand. The Landlord shall have no liability to the Tenant for any loss or damage resulting from any such action by the Landlord, and any entry by the Landlord under the provisions of this Paragraph 16 shall not constitute a breach of the covenant for quiet enjoyment or an eviction.
17.   LIEN ON TRADE FIXTURES
     If the Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall be in default under any covenant or agreement contained herein, the Landlord shall have a lien on all stock in-trade, inventory, fixtures, equipment and facilities of the Tenant as security against loss or damage resulting from any such default by the Tenant, and the stock-in-trade, inventory, fixtures, equipment or facilities shall not be removed by the Tenant until such default is cured, or as otherwise directed by the Landlord.
18.   ADDITIONAL RENT
     If the Tenant shall be in default in the payment of any amounts or charges required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Lease, they shall, if not paid when due, be collectible as rent with the next monthly instalment of Minimum Rent thereafter falling due hereunder, but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any amount, money or charge at the time same becomes due and payable hereunder, or limit any other remedy of the Landlord. The Tenant covenants and agrees that the Landlord may, at its option, apply or allocate any sums received from or due to the Tenant against any amounts due and payable hereunder in such manner as the Landlord, in its sole discretion, sees fit.

19


 

19.   NET LEASE
     The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it is intended that this Lease is a completely carefree net lease to the Landlord, and, except as expressly herein set out, that the Landlord is not responsible during the Term of the lease for any costs, charges, expenses and outlays of any nature whatsoever arising from or relating to the Leased Premises or the use and occupancy thereof or to the contents thereof, or the business carried on therein, and the Tenant shall pay all charges, impositions, costs and expenses of any nature or kind relating to the Leased Premises, except as expressly herein set out.
20.   QUIET ENJOYMENT
     Upon the payment by the Tenant of the rents herein provided and upon the observance and performance of all covenants, terms and conditions on the Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, the Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the Term hereby demised without hindrance or interruption by the Landlord, or any other person or persons lawfully claiming by, through or under the Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
21.   RIGHT OF ENTRY
     The Landlord or its agents shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises at all times during normal business hours (except in the case of emergency, real or apprehended, in which case the Landlord may enter at any time and will notify the Tenant of such entry as soon as possible thereafter): (i) to examine the same, (ii) to show them to prospective purchasers, lessees or mortgagees, and, (iii) without any obligation upon the Landlord to do so, to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Leased Premises or the Building as the Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. The Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the Leased Premises which may be required therefor without the same constituting an eviction of the Tenant in whole or in part, and the rent reserved hereunder shall not abate while such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions are being made due to any loss or interruption of the business of the Tenant or otherwise. The Landlord shall diligently carry out all repairs so as to minimize interference with the Tenant’s business. The Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, injury or death caused to any person or property of the Tenant or of others located on the Leased Premises as a result of such entry. During the six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Term the Landlord may exhibit the Leased Premises to prospective tenants and place upon the Leased Premises its usual notice “To Let” which notice the Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without molestation. If the Tenant shall not be personally present to open and permit an entry into the Leased Premises at any time when for any reason entry therein shall be necessary or permissible, the Landlord or its agents may enter the same by a master key or may forcibly enter the same, without rendering the Landlord or such agents liable therefor, and without in any manner effecting the obligations and covenants of the Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon the landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for the care, maintenance or repair of the premises or any part thereof except as otherwise herein specifically provided.
22.   IMPROVEMENTS
     The Tenant will not make any repairs, alterations, replacements, decorations or improvements to any part of the Leased Premises without first obtaining the Landlord’s prior written approval such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Tenant shall submit to the Landlord details of the proposed work, such indemnification against liens, costs, damages and expenses as the Landlord shall require and evidence satisfactory to the Landlord that the Tenant has obtained, at its sole expense, all necessary consents, licences and approvals from all governmental authorities having jurisdiction. All such repairs, replacements, alterations, decorations or improvements made by the Tenant to the Leased Premises and approved of by the Landlord shall be at the sole cost of the Tenant, shall be performed by competent workmen in a good and workmanlike manner and shall be subject to the reasonable supervision of the Landlord. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, the Tenant’s selection of an electrical or mechanical contractor shall be subject to the written approval of the Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any such repairs, replacements, alterations, decorations or improvements made by the Tenant without the prior

20


 

written consent of the Landlord, or, which are not in accordance with the drawings and specifications approved by the Landlord, as aforesaid, shall, if requested by the Landlord, be promptly removed by the Tenant at its expense and the Leased Premises restored to their previous condition. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, no repair, replacement, alteration, addition, or improvement to the Leased Premises by or on behalf of the Tenant shall be permitted which may weaken or endanger the structure or adversely affect the condition or operation of the Leased Premises or the Building or diminish the value thereof, or restrict or reduce the Landlord’s coverage for zoning purposes. Any and all repairs, replacements, alterations, additions or improvements to the Leased Premises which may affect the structure of the Leased Premises or any part of the Building or which are to be installed outside the Leased Premises, shall be performed only by the Landlord at the Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
23.   FIRE
     If and whenever during the Term the Building shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, lightning or other perils as are insured against by the Landlord from time to time, then and in every such event:
(a) If the damage or destruction to the Building renders twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Building wholly unfit for occupancy or if it is impossible or unsafe to use and occupy the Building, or if in the opinion of the Landlord the Building is damaged or destroyed to such a material extent or the damage or destruction is of such a nature that the Building must be or should be totally or partially demolished, whether to be re-constructed in whole or in part or not, or if the cost of repairing or rebuilding the Building as a result of such damage or destruction exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the replacement cost thereof, the Landlord may at its option, terminate this Lease by giving to the Tenant notice in writing of such termination, in which event this Lease and the Term hereby demised shall cease and be at an end as of the date of such destruction or damage, and the Minimum Rent and all other payments for which the Tenant is liable under the terms of this Lease shall be apportioned and paid in full to the date of such destruction or damage.
(b) If the damage or destruction is such that the Leased Premises are rendered unfit for occupancy or if it is impossible or unsafe to use and occupy the Leased Premises, and if in either event, the damage, in the opinion of either the Landlords architect or engineer, to be given to the other party within thirty (30) days of the happening of such damage or destruction, cannot be repaired with reasonable diligence within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the happening of such damage or destruction, then, either the Landlord or the Tenant may within five (5) days next succeeding the giving of the Landlord’s opinion, as aforesaid, terminate this Lease by giving to the other notice in writing of such termination, in which event, this Lease and the Term hereby demised shall cease and be at an end as of the date of such damage or destruction, and the Minimum Rent and all other payments for which the Tenant is liable under the terms of this Lease shall be apportioned and paid in full to the date of such destruction and damage. In the event that neither the Landlord or the Tenant so terminate this Lease, then, the Landlord shall repair the Leased Premises (to the extent only of the Landlord’s work in connection with the original construction of the Leased Premises and for greater certainty shall in no event include any leasehold improvement or fixtures unless originally installed by the Landlord) with all reasonable speed and the Minimum Rent hereby reserved shall abate, to the extent of all insurance recoveries received by the Landlord from the date of the happening of the damage until the damage shall be repaired by the Landlord to the extent hereinbefore set out in this Paragraph 23(b).
(c) If the damage is such that the Leased Premises are wholly unfit for occupancy or if it is impossible and unsafe to use and occupy the Leased Premises but, if in either event, the damage, in the opinion of the Landlord, to be given to the Tenant within thirty (30) days from the happening of such damage can be repaired (to

21


 

the extent hereinbefore set out in Paragraph 23 (b)) with reasonable diligence within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the happening of such damage, then, the Minimum Rent hereby reserved shall abate, to the extent of all insurance coverage received by the Landlord, from the date of the happening of such damage until the damage shall be repaired by the Landlord to the extent hereinbefore set out in Paragraph 23(b).
(d) If in the opinion of the Landlord, the damage to the Leased Premises can be made good, as aforesaid, within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the happening of such destruction or damage, and the damage is such that the Leased Premises are capable of being partially used for the purpose for which the Leased Premises are hereby leased, then, until such damage has been repaired (to the extent set out in Paragraph 23(b)), the Minimum Rent shall abate in the proportion that the part of the Leased Premises rendered unfit for occupancy bears to the whole of the Leased Premises, and the Landlord shall repair the damage (to the extent set out in Paragraph 23(b) with all reasonable speed.
(e) In the event the Landlord shall elect to repair, reconstruct or rebuild the Building or the Leased Premises, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 23, it is acknowledged and agreed by the Tenant that the Landlord shall be entitled to use all plans and specifications and working drawings in connection therewith other than those used in the original construction of the Building or the Leased Premises.
(f) The decision of the Landlord’s architect or engineer as to the time within which the Building and/or the Leased Premises can or cannot be repaired, the state of tenantability or fitness of the Leased Premises and/or the Building, and as to the date on which the Landlord’s work of repair is completed, shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
(g) If the damage or destruction is caused by the fault, negligence, carelessness or misuse of the Tenant, its servants, agents, employees, contractors, or others for whom the Tenant is in law responsible, there shall be no abatement of the Minimum Rent or any other amounts payable by the Tenant hereunder.
24.   ASSIGNMENT BY LANDLORD
     The Landlord declares that it may assign its rights under this Lease to a lending institution as collateral security for a loan to the Landlord and in the event that such an assignment is given and executed by the Landlord, and notification thereof is given to the Tenant by or on behalf of the Landlord, it is expressly agreed between the Landlord and the Tenant that this Lease shall not be cancelled or modified for any reason whatsoever except as provided for, anticipated or permitted by the terms of this Lease or by law, without the consent in writing of such lending institution. Upon the written request of the Tenant the Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain at the Tenant’s expense, an agreement from the mortgagee of the Building to permit the Tenant to remain in quiet possession of the Leased Premises without interruption or disturbance from such mortgagee provided that the Tenant pays the rent when due and complies with all the terms and conditions of the Lease and attorns to such mortgagee.
     The Tenant covenants and agrees with the Landlord that it will, if and whenever reasonably required by the Landlord, consent to and become a party to any instrument relating to this Lease which may be required by or on behalf of any purchaser, lender or mortgagee from time to time of the Leased Premises.
25.   LIMITATION OF LANDLORD’S LIABILITY
     The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease shall, so far as the covenants and obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned, be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the Building and in the event of any conveyance or transfer of ownership by the Landlord herein named, and in the case of any subsequent transfer or conveyances, the then vendor or transferor shall be automatically freed and relieved, from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, of all personal liability in respect of the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, provided that:

22


 

(a) any funds in the hands of the Landlord or the then vendor or transferor at the time of such transfer, in which the Tenant has an interest, shall be turned over to the purchaser or transferee and any amount then due and payable to the Tenant by the Landlord or the then vendor or transferor under any provision of this Lease shall be paid to the Tenant; and
(b) upon any such transfer or conveyance, the purchaser or transferee shall be deemed to have assumed, subject to the limitations of this Paragraph, all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed on the part of the Landlord.
     It is the intention of the parties pursuant to this Paragraph 25 that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of the Landlord shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding upon the Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their respective periods of ownership.
26.   SIGNS
     The Tenant will not paint, fix, display, or cause to be painted, fixed or displayed, any sign, picture, advertisement notice, lettering or decoration on any part of the exterior or the interior of the Leased Premises without, in each instance, the prior written approval of the Landlord such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. All signs erected by the Tenant with the Landlord’s approval, as aforesaid, shall nevertheless be of uniform size, lettering and location as the signs of all other tenants in the Building. Any such signs or other advertising material, as aforesaid, shall be removed by the Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and the Tenant shall promptly repair any and all damage caused by such installation or removal. If the Landlord shall, in its sole discretion, desire to establish a uniform sign policy for all tenants of the building, then, the Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Landlord, at its option, shall be entitled to erect all signs or other advertising material in or on the Building, advertising the respective tenants’ business operations therein (including the Tenant named herein.) The cost of such sign and the installation and erection thereof in respect of the Leased Premises shall be borne entirely by the Tenant and shall be payable forthwith on demand, as additional rent.
27.   WAIVER OF BREACH
     The waiver by the Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by the Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by the Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, regardless of the Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No covenant, term or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by the Landlord unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Landlord.
28.   NOTICES
     Any notice, demand, request or other instrument which may be or is required to be given under this Lease shall be delivered in person or sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, and shall be addressed (a) if to the Landlord at 555 Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 3BI, Attention: Property Manager or at such other address as the Landlord designates by written notice, and (b) if to the Tenant, at the Leased Premises.

Either party may at any time give notice in writing to the other of any change of address of the party giving such notice and from or after the giving of such notice, the address therein specified is deemed to be the address of such party for the giving of notices hereunder. Provided, however, if the postal service is interrupted or substantially delayed for any reason whatsoever, then, any notice, demand, request or other instrument shall be delivered in person only.

23


 

29.   STATUS STATEMENT
     Within ten (10) days after written request therefor by the Landlord, or in the event that upon any sale, assignment, lease or mortgage of the Leased Premises or the lands thereunder by the Landlord, a status statement shall be required from the Tenant, the Tenant hereby agrees to deliver in the form supplied by the Landlord a certificate to any proposed mortgagee or purchaser or to the Landlord, stating, (if such be the case), without limitation, that:
(a) this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and identify the modification agreements, if any) or if this Lease is not in full force and effect, the certificate shall so state;
(b) the date of the commencement of the Term;
(c) the date to which the Minimum Rent has been paid under this Lease; and
(d) whether or not there is any existing default by the Tenant in the payment of Minimum Rent or other sum of money under this Lease, and whether or not there is any other existing default by either party under this Lease with respect to which a notice of default has been served, and if there is any such default, specifying the nature and extent thereof.
30.   SUBORDINATION
     This Lease and all of the rights of the Tenant hereunder are, and shall at all times, be subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages, trust deeds or the charge or lien resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing or any renewals, or extensions thereof, now or hereafter in force against the lands, buildings and improvements comprising the Lands and the Building. Upon the request of the Landlord, the Tenant will subordinate this Lease and all of its rights hereunder in such form or forms as the Landlord may require to any such mortgage, trust deeds or the charge or lien resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, and will, if requested, attorn to the holder thereof. If within ten (10) days after the date of any request in respect thereof, the Tenant has not executed and delivered to the Landlord any instruments or certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 30 or Paragraph 29 hereof, then, the Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints the Landlord as the Tenant’s attorney with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of the Tenant any such instruments or certificates.
31.   IMPOSSIBILITY OF PERFORMANCE
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if either party hereto is bona fide delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any term, covenant or act required hereunder by reason of strikes, labour troubles, inability to procure materials or services, power failure, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, sabotage, rebellion, war, acts of God, or other reasons whether of a like nature or not which is not the fault of the party delayed in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease, then, the performance of such term, covenant or act is excused for the period of the delay and the party so delayed shall be entitled to perform such term, covenant or act within the appropriate time period after the expiration of the period of such delay. However, the provisions of this Paragraph 31 shall not in any way operate to excuse the Tenant from the prompt payment of Minimum Rent and additional rent or any of the payments required by the terms of this Lease.

24


 

32. MISCELLANEOUS
     The Landlord and Tenant agree that:
(a) Successors and Assigns
     All rights and liabilities herein given to or imposed upon the respective parties hereto shall extend to and bind the several respective permitted heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the said parties, and if there shall be more than one Tenant, they shall be bound jointly and severally by the terms, covenants and agreements contained herein.

(b) Accord and Satisfaction
     No payment by the Tenant or receipt by the Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Minimum Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement or any cheque or any letter accompanying any cheque or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and the Landlord may accept such cheque or payment without prejudice to the landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.

33. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
(a) Fixturing Period
The Tenant and its consultants, vendors and contractors shall be permitted reasonable access to the Premises for the purpose of design, planning and completion of the Tenant’s Work from execution of the Lease until March 31, 2005 (the “Fixturing Period”). The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord’s Work may continue during the Fixturing Period. The Landlord and Tenant will mutually cooperate with each other with respect to the completion of their respective work during the Fixturing Period.
The Tenant shall not be responsible for payment of Net Rent, its share of Realty Taxes, Operating Costs and Hydro Charges during the Fixturing Period but shall otherwise abide by and observe all other terms and provisions of the Lease, including without limitation discharging its obligation to insure the Premises.
(b) Removal of Leasehold Improvements by Tenant
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Tenant shall not be responsible at expiration of the Term for:
  (i)   removing those leasehold improvements installed in the Premises prior to February 14, 2005; and
 
  (ii)   removing those leasehold improvement(s) the Tenant installs in the Leased Premises that have been approved in writing in advance by the Landlord including specific written acknowledgement that such leasehold improvement(s) do not require removal at the expiration of the Term. It shall be deemed reasonable for the Landlord to refuse to waive the Tenant’s obligation to remove same if in its opinion such leasehold improvement is not of a generic office nature likely to be re-usable by subsequent tenant(s) leasing the Leased Premises, or detracts from the value or the appearance of the Leased Premises.
(c) Right of First Opportunity
If during the time periods set out in Section 33(b)(i) and 33(b)(ii) below, the noted premises are available for lease and not under formal negotiation between the Landlord and a third-party, then the Tenant shall have the right to lease same on the terms and provisions set out hereunder by delivering written notice to the Landlord exercising such right.
  (i)   During the first Eighteen (18) months of the Term, the Tenant shall have an ongoing Right of First Opportunity (“ROFO1”) to lease Suite 215 in the Building (shown outlined in blue on the plan attached hereto as Schedule “A” and encompassing approximately 6,000 rentable square feet of area on the 2nd floor) on the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease including but not limited to Minimum Rent rate, Fixturing Period, early occupancy rights and Leasehold Allowance, save and except that the Term for Suite 215 shall expire on October 31, 2010 and Fixturing Period, early occupancy rights and Leasehold Allowance shall be adjusted on a pro-rated basis to reflect any resulting term of lease less than Sixty (60) months.
 
  (ii)   During the first Twelve (12) months of the Term, the Tenant shall have an ongoing Right of First Opportunity (“ROFO2”) to lease Suite 217 in the Building (shown outlined in green on the plan attached hereto as Schedule “A” and encompassing approximately 5,841 rentable square feet of area on the 2nd floor) on the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease including but not limited to Minimum Rent rate, Fixturing Period, early occupancy rights and Leasehold Allowance, save and except that the Term for Suite 217 shall expire on October 31, 2010 and Fixturing Period, early occupancy rights and Leasehold Allowance shall be adjusted on a pro-rated basis to reflect any resulting term of lease less than Sixty (60) months.

26b


 

(d) Right of First Refusal

2. Right of First Refusal: Provided the Tenant is not in default under the Lease, then subordinate to any existing rights of other tenants in the Building as of the date of unconditional acceptance of this Agreement, the Tenant will have a right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”) on any office space on the main and second (2nd) floors of the Building having a rentable area greater than two thousand five hundred (2,500) rentable square feet that come available from time to time (the “RFR Space”). If at any time during the term of this Lease the Landlord receives from a third party an offer to lease that incorporates all or part of the RFR space which the Landlord is prepared to accept (the “Third Party Offer”), the Landlord shall offer the RFR space to the Tenant, in writing, at the terms and conditions of the Third Party Offer in its entirety, including without limitation the lease of space that is not RFR space, with the exception of the following:
  i)   In the event the party submitting the Third Party Offer is substantially more creditworthy than the Tenant, then any upfront allowances or inducements may not be granted to the Tenant provided that in such an event the Minimum Rent payable by the Tenant shall be discounted on a pro-rata basis.

The Tenant will have five (5) business days following receipt of the terms for the Third Party Offer to advise the Landlord of its acceptance or refusal of the Landlord’s offer. If the Tenant does not exercise its Right of First Refusal and thereafter if the Landlord does not enter into a lease with the new tenant based on the terms and provisions of the Third Party Offer within sixty (60) days after notice is provided to the Tenant then the Tenant’s Right of First Refusal will be in full force and effect. If the Tenant does not exercise its Right of First Refusal and thereafter the Landlord enters into a lease with a new tenant based on the terms and provisions of the Third Party Offer within sixty (60) days after notice is provided to the Tenant, then the Tenant’s Right of First Refusal with respect to the Third Party Offer space will be null and void and of no further force or effect. However, the Right of First Refusal shall continue to be in effect for the remaining RFR Space. The Provisions of this Right of First Refusal are personal to the Tenant.
3. Option to Extend:
If,
(a) The Tenant pays the Rent (including Minimum Rent and Additional Rent) as and when due and punctually observes and performs the terms, covenants and conditions to be observed and performed by it in accordance with the terms of the Lease;
(b) The Tenant is not in default under the Lease;
(c) The Tenant gives the Landlord not less than Nine (9) months and not more than Eighteen (18) months written notice prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease of the Tenant’s intention to extend the Extended Term of the Lease; and
(d) So long as the Tenant is Eloqua Corporation, or a Permitted Transferee as defined in Subsection 3(e) hereunder, and itself or a Permitted Transferee is in occupation and conducting business in the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease, the Tenant expressly acknowledging and agreeing that the provisions of this section are personal to the Tenant or a permitted Transferee, then the Landlord will grant to the Tenant the right to extend the Extended Term of this Lease upon the expiry of the Extended Term for a period of Five (5) years (the “Further Extended Term”) upon the same terms and conditions as set out in the Lease except that:
  i)   The Landlord may at its option require the Tenant to enter into a Further Extension Agreement, as prepared by the Landlord at the Tenant’s expense to give effect to the Further Extended Term; and
 
  ii)   The Minimum Rent payable during each year of the Further Extended Term shall be based on the fair market rent, all economic factors considered, for comparable premises (including comparable leasehold improvements), in comparable buildings, in the same neighbourhood, Nine (9) months prior to expiration of the Extended Term. For the purpose of this clause 555 and 543 Richmond Street West are deemed to be comparable buildings. Failing agreement as to the fair market rent, such rent shall be determined by an arbitrator agreed on by the parties both acting reasonably, such arbitrator employing baseball style/final offer arbirtration whereby each party submits a final offer and the arbitrator selects one of the two offers to which the parties will be bound.
  (e)   A Permitted Transferee is defined as follows:
  i)   A holding body corporate, a subsidiary body corporate or affiliated body corporate (as those terms are defined as of the date of this Offer pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act) of the Tenant;
 
  ii)   A corporation formed as a result of a merger or amalgamation involving the Tenant with another corporation or corporations; or
 
  iii)   A purchaser, whether by acquisition of shares or assets, of all or a majority of the Tenant’s business and/or assets.
