6.0 Adjustments to Sublease Gross Rent
6.1 If, after the Commencement Date, there is any change to the Leased Premises or any parts thereof that would change the Rentable Area of the Sublet Premises, then, as at the effective date of such change, the Sublease Gross Rent will be adjusted appropriately with appropriate adjustment to the Sublease Gross Rent and any other Sublease Rent paid by the Subtenant in respect of any period of time after the date of such change.
7.0 Apportionment of Sublease Gross Rent
7.1 Sublease Gross Rent will be considered as accruing from day to day under this Sublease. If it is necessary to calculate Sublease Gross Rent for a period of less than one year or less than one calendar month, an appropriate apportionment and adjustment on a pro rata daily basis will be made.
8.0 Amounts Chargeable as Sublease Rent





8.1 All costs incurred by the Sublandlord in collecting any amounts payable under this Sublease or enforcing any right or obligation of the Subtenant under this Sublease will be payable by the Subtenant on demand and will be deemed to be Sublease Rent for all purposes from the date demand therefor is made. In addition to Sublease Rent under this Sublease, the Subtenant will remit to the Sublandlord any GST or other tax or imposition collectible by the Sublandlord for the use of the Sublet Premises by the Subtenant or goods or services provided to the Subtenant, and the Sublandlord will be entitled to exercise all remedies in respect of any failure by the Subtenant to pay such amounts as if they were Sublease Rent in arrears.
8.2 If the Subtenant fails to make any payment to the Sublandlord or otherwise hereunder when due, the Subtenant will pay to the Sublandlord a fee of $200.00 for each such late or missed payment, and interest calculated from the date that the payment was due until the date payment is actually made to the Sublandlord, at the rate of interest per annum designated from time to time by the Sublandlord’s principal bank (the “Bank”) as being the prime commercial lending rate charged by the Bank for demand loans in Canadian funds made at the main branch of the Bank in Vancouver, British Columbia, calculated daily, not in advance. Acceptance of any late payment without the fee or interest will not constitute a waiver of the Sublandlord’s right to require the fee and interest. The Subtenant will be deemed to have failed to make a payment on, and the fee and interest will be due from, the date such payment is first payable, and not the date after the expiry of notice of non‑payment, if any notice is required to be given or is given.
9.0 Deposits
9.1 The Subtenant will pay to the Sublandlord a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) of $20,000 plus GST, and the Sublandlord will hold and deal with the Security Deposit as follows:
(a) the Security Deposit will be applied to the costs incurred by the Sublandlord to repair the Sublet Premises at the end of the Sublease Term if the Subtenant fails to do so as required hereunder (provided that the amount of the Security Deposit will not be deemed to be a limit on the amount recoverable in respect of the costs incurred by the Sublandlord under this Section) and will be repaid to the Subtenant within 30 days after the expiry or earlier termination of this Sublease as it relates to Premises A if not otherwise applied by the Sublandlord in accordance with this Section 9.1;
(b) in the event of termination of this Sublease by reason of default by the Subtenant the Security Deposit will be applied by the Sublandlord on account of Sublease Rent and damages incurred by the Sublandlord for which the Subtenant is liable hereunder and any balance remaining will be refunded to the Subtenant within 30 days after the termination of this Sublease as it relates to Premises A.
9.2 The Sublandlord will have no obligation to invest the Security Deposit for interest and the Subtenant will not be entitled to any interest thereon.
10.0 As Is
10.1 The Subtenant will accept the Sublet Premises on an “as is” basis:
11.0 Alterations to the Sublet Premises
11.1 The Subtenant will not remove, alter, or add to the Sublet Premises or any part thereof (the “Subtenant’s Work”) without first having submitted working drawings and specifications of such work to the Sublandlord and the Head Landlord for the Sublandlord’s and the Head Landlord’s prior written approval.
11.2 Preparation of working drawings and specifications and the performance of the Subtenant’s Work will be entirely at the expense of the Subtenant and the Subtenant will be responsible, at its sole cost, for all Subtenant’s Work.
11.3 The Subtenant will engage contractors and subcontractors to perform the Subtenant’s Work and will ensure that the Subtenant’s Work is performed in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with all applicable laws, bylaws, and regulations, and the Subtenant will obtain and comply with all building, electrical, or other permits that may be required in respect of the Subtenant’s Work and will pay all fees and procure all applicable inspections.
11.4 The Subtenant will include in its contracts with contractors for Subtenant’s Work:
(a) a statement to the effect that; and
(b) a covenant of the applicable contractor to notify any of its subcontractors or suppliers involved with the Subtenant’s Work that,
any work undertaken in respect of the Subtenant’s Work is undertaken solely at the request of, on the credit of, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Subtenant and that the contractor accordingly has no builders’ lien rights in respect of the interest of the Sublandlord or the Head Landlord in the Building or the Lands.
11.5 At the Sublandlord’s option, the Sublandlord may submit its own proposal to construct the Subtenant’s Work at the Subtenant’s cost, which the Subtenant may accept or reject without consequence hereunder.





11.6 The Subtenant agrees that all Subtenant’s Work made or installed at any time prior to or after the Commencement Date, whether by the Subtenant or the Sublandlord, will, immediately upon affixation or installation become the property of the Sublandlord and will remain upon the Sublet Premises and the Building, other than the Subtenant’s trade fixtures and personal property.
11.7 The Subtenant will not be required to restore the Sublet Premises or remove its Leasehold Improvements from the Sublet Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
12.0 Delay
12.1 The Sublandlord will not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any of its obligations in this Sublease during any period when the Sublandlord is prevented from performance by reason of being unable, using reasonable efforts (without expenditure of any funds other than reimbursement of the Head Landlord’s legal costs) to obtain the consent of the Head Landlord, and neither the Sublandlord nor the Subtenant will be deemed to be in default of their respective obligations during any period when such party is prevented from performance by reason of the default of the other party, or by reason of being unable to obtain the materials, goods, equipment, service, or labour required by reason of any statute, law, bylaw, ordinance, or regulation, or by reason of any strikes, lockouts, slowdowns, or other combined action of workmen or shortages of material or any other cause beyond its control, and the time for the performance of any such obligation will be extended accordingly. The inability to perform an obligation due to lack of financial resources will not be deemed to be beyond a party’s control.
13.0 Liens
13.1 If any lien or encumbrance arising out of work done by or on behalf of the Subtenant in respect of the Sublet Premises is filed or attached against the Building or title to the Lands, the Subtenant will, within five days after notice of the lien or encumbrance, procure its discharge, failing which the Sublandlord may, at its option and in addition to any other remedies it may have under the Sublease arising out of defaults by the Subtenant, make any payments into court required to procure such discharge; and the Subtenant will promptly reimburse the Sublandlord for any payment, cost, or expense incurred in so doing, whether or not such lien or encumbrance was without merit or excessive.

19.6 If there is a permitted assignment, the Sublandlord may collect rent from the Transferee and apply the net rent collected to the Sublease Rent required to be paid pursuant to this Sublease, but no acceptance by the Sublandlord of any payment by a Transferee will be deemed a waiver of any covenants under this Sublease including this Section 19.0 on the part of the Subtenant to be observed or performed, or the acceptance of the Transferee as subtenant. No assignment, subletting, licensing or other disposition will release the Subtenant from its obligations under this Sublease.
