(i)	During the construction and installation of Leasehold Improvements the Tenant shall keep the Building clean from any debris related thereto, and in any event after construction is completed the Tenant shall do an adequate "first clean" to the Premises.

(j)

The Tenant shall promptly pay all its contractors and suppliers and shall do all things necessary to prevent a lien attaching to the Lands or Building and should any such lien be made or filed, the Tenant shall discharge or vacate such lien immediately.  If the Tenant shall fail to discharge or vacate any lien, then in addition to any other right or remedy of the Landlord, the Landlord may discharge or vacate the lien by paying into Court the amount required by statute to be paid to obtain a discharge, and the amount so paid by the Landlord together with all costs and expenses including solicitor's fees (on a solicitor and his client basis) incurred in connection therewith shall be due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord on demand together with interest at the Interest Rate, calculated from the date of payment by the Landlord until all of such amounts have been paid by the Tenant to the Landlord.

6.8               Removal and Restoration:

(a)	The Leasehold Improvements shall immediately upon installation become the property of the Landlord without compensation to the Tenant.

(b)

Unless the Landlord by notice in writing requests otherwise, the Tenant shall at its expense, at the end of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, remove all (or part, as designated by the Landlord) of the Leasehold Improvements, and, subject only to reasonable wear and tear, restore the Premises to the base building standard with the basic systems of the Building, including the reconstruction necessary to reinstate the Premises original structure in the event structural changes were undertaken.   At the expiry or earlier termination of the Term or any extension thereof, the Tenant shall not be required to remove any Leasehold Improvements or to restore the Premises to base Building standard.  However, the Tenant shall be required to, at its own cost and expense, remove any installations which have required changes to base Building systems, installations of any uninterrupted power source, computer/telecommunications cabling and/or any other improvements not typical of a general office use, and make good any damage to the Premises or to the Building caused by such installation/removal.

(c)

Any damage to the Premises or to the Building caused by the installation or removal by the Tenant or by others on its behalf of Leasehold Improvements or trade fixtures shall be repaired forthwith by the Tenant at its expense (except that in the case of damage to areas outside of the Premises or to any structural or base building system or component, such repairs shall be made by the Landlord at the Tenant’s expense).

 6.9               External Changes:

The Tenant agrees that it shall not erect, affix or attach to any roof, exterior walls or surfaces of the Building any antennae, sign or fixture of any kind, nor shall it make any opening in or alteration to the roof, walls, or structure of the Premises, or install in the Premises or Building free standing air-conditioning units, without the prior written consent of the Landlord which may be arbitrarily withheld.

6.10               Trade Fixtures:

The Tenant may, at the end of the Term, if not in default, remove its Trade Fixtures, and the Tenant shall, in the case of every installation or removal of Trade Fixtures, make good any damage caused to the Premises or the Building by such installation or removal.  Any Trade Fixtures removed during the Term will be contemporaneously replaced with Trade Fixtures of equal or better similar quality.  Any Trade Fixtures and equipment belonging to the Tenant, if not removed at the termination or expiry of this Lease, shall, if the Landlord so elects, be deemed abandoned and become the property of the Landlord without compensation to the Tenant.  If the Landlord shall not so elect, the Landlord may remove such Trade Fixtures from the Premises and store them at the Tenant's risk and expense and the Tenant shall save the Landlord harmless from all damage to the Premises caused by such removal, whether by the Tenant or by the Landlord.

6.11               Tenant's Signs:

The Tenant shall not at any time cause or permit any sign, picture, advertisement, notice, lettering, flag, decoration or direction (hereinafter collectively called "Signs") to be painted, displayed, inscribed, placed, affixed or maintained within the Premises and visible outside the Premises or in or on any windows or the exterior of the Premises (including glass demising walls facing onto Common Areas), nor anywhere else on or in the Building, without the prior and continuous consent of the Landlord which consent may, with respect to proposed signage on the main floor of the Building, or which can be seen from outside the Premises, be arbitrarily withheld, but otherwise shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the copy and style of any Signs shall be consistent with the first-class nature of the Building and in accordance with the Landlord's sign criteria.  No hand-written signs will be permitted.  The Landlord may at any time prescribe a uniform pattern of identification signs for tenants to be placed on the outside of the Premises and other premises.  Any breach by the Tenant of this provision may be immediately rectified by the Landlord at the Tenant's expense and in this connection, the Landlord shall be entitled to enter the Premises and remove any Signs contravening this provision and charge the Tenant the costs thereof, and same shall not constitute a re-entry under this Lease and the Landlord shall not be liable for any damages caused thereby, whether or not arising from its own negligence.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary as herein contained, the Landlord will, at its own cost and expense, supply and install:  (i) one (1) Building standard signage at the entrance of the Premises; (ii) directional signage in the elevator lobby on the floor on which the Premises are located; and (iii) one (1) entry bearing the name of the Tenant on all directory boards in the Building, each in accordance with the Landlord’s uniform scheme for identification signage.

6.12               Directory Board:

The Landlord may erect and maintain (as an Operating Cost) a directory board in the main lobby of the Building which shall indicate the name of the Tenant and the location of the Premises within the Building.  The Tenant shall pay the Landlord's cost of changes thereto, and any other signage with respect to the Premises.  Should sufficient space exist on the directory board, the Landlord may provide to the Tenant, at the Tenant's expense, additional entries as requested.  The directory board shall be for identification only and not for advertising.  The Landlord's acceptance of any name for listing on the directory board will not be deemed, nor will it substitute for, the Landlord's consent, as required by this Lease, to any sublease, assignment or other occupancy of the Premises.

6.13               Landlord's Signs:

In addition to the Landlord's right to install general information and direction signs in and about the Building as would be customary for comparable office building in the City of Toronto, the Landlord shall have the right at any time to place upon the Building a notice of reasonable dimensions, reasonably placed so as not to interfere with the Tenant's business, stating that the Building is for sale, or that areas of the Building are for lease, as the case may be, and at any time during the last six (6) months of the Term, that the Premises are for rent and the Tenant shall not remove such notices or signs.

(a)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the Tenant will fully comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Premises and the Tenant's use and occupation thereof.

(b)

If the Tenant is convicted of an offence under an Environmental Law which relates to the Premises or the Building, the Landlord will have the option, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Lease forthwith by notice in writing, and the Landlord will not be liable for any losses or damages of any kind however caused arising out of such termination.

(c)	The Tenant will obtain and comply with the terms of all licenses, certificates of approval, permits and other requirements under applicable Environmental Law for the safe and lawful conduct of its business at or from the Premises.

(d)	The Tenant will not use pesticides in the Premises or the Building unless the Tenant has first obtained written consent from the Landlord to do so and has obtained all necessary permits or approvals required under applicable Environmental Law.

(e)

The Tenant shall not cause or allow any Contaminant to be used, generated, stored, or disposed of on, under or about, or transported to or from, the Building, the Common Areas or the Premises (collectively the " Contaminant Activities") except in strict compliance, at the Tenant's expense, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and using all necessary and appropriate precautions which a cautious and prudent operator would exercise.

(f)

The Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant for any Contaminant Activities conducted or permitted by the Tenant in or about the Building, the Common Areas or the Premises during the Term, however caused, whether or not consented to by the Landlord.  The Tenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel, and hold the Landlord harmless from and against any claims, damages, costs and liabilities arising out of any and all such Contaminant Activities conducted or permitted by the Tenant.

(g)	The Tenant shall immediately notify the Landlord both by telephone and in writing of any Discharge and the Landlord, its representatives and employees may enter the Premises at any time during the Term to inspect the Tenant's compliance herewith.

(h)

The Tenant shall also be responsible for proper disposal of all Contaminants and other materials which require special disposal measures, including oil, kitchen waste and grease.  The Tenant shall also, if required by the Landlord, refrigerate all garbage, such that it does not constitute a nuisance or health hazard. The Tenant will store and dispose of all of its waste in a lawful manner.  In particular, the Tenant will use the garbage collection service provided by the Landlord only to dispose of solid waste (which is not Hazardous Waste) which can lawfully be transported to, and dumped at, a landfill site without requiring payment of surcharges or penalties, and will use the sewers only to dispose of liquid waste (which is not Hazardous Waste) which may be lawfully discharged into the municipal sewer.  All other wastes will be disposed of by the Tenant, at its expense, at least once every month, using a properly licensed waste hauler retained by the Landlord, subject to the Landlord's right to require the Tenant, by giving the Tenant notice thereof, to retain a properly licensed waste hauler to take away all or part (as designated by the Landlord) of the Tenant's waste.  Regardless of whether the waste hauler is retained by the Landlord or the Tenant, the Tenant, and not the Landlord, shall be deemed to be the generator of the Tenant's waste.

(i)

Where the Landlord provides separate waste collection facilities for different types of waste, the Tenant will separate its waste and will deliver each waste to the appropriate facility.  If contamination of separated waste occurs as a result of Tenant's failure to comply with the foregoing sentence, the Tenant will indemnify the Landlord for all damages and costs incurred by the Landlord with respect to such contamination, together with an administration fee equal to twenty per cent (20%) of such costs.  The Tenant will comply with any waste reduction workplan prepared by Landlord from time to time (if any), at Tenant's cost.  The Tenant will comply with all reasonable requirements imposed by Landlord with respect to the implementation of a system for the storage, disposal, and separation of waste at the Building as contemplated by this Section 6.14.

(j)	Neither the Landlord nor the Tenant will not authorize, cause or permit a Discharge except in accordance with Environmental Law.

(k)

The Tenant will fully comply with all orders of an Authority which may be directed to the Landlord or the Tenant and which relate to the Premises or the Building in relation to the Premises, including orders to provide financial assurance, to perform studies, to improve pollution control, to remove waste, to conduct investigations or to prepare or perform an environmental cleanup of the Premises or the Building.  Should an order or direction of an Authority be issued to the Landlord or the Tenant, requiring the Landlord or the Tenant to do anything in relation to an environmental problem caused or contributed to by the Tenant, the Tenant will, upon receipt of written notice from the Landlord, satisfy the requirements of the order or direction at the Tenant's expense.

(l)

If the Tenant fails or refuses to promptly and fully satisfy the requirements of an order or direction referred to in this Section, or if, in the Landlord's opinion the Tenant is not competent to satisfy the requirements of the order or direction, the Landlord may elect in writing (but is not obligated) to satisfy the whole or any part of the requirements of the order or direction at the Tenant's expense.

(m)

If the Tenant fails or refuses to promptly and fully satisfy the requirements of any such order or direction the Landlord will have the option, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Lease forthwith by notice in writing, and Landlord will not be liable for any losses or damages of any kind however caused arising out of such termination.

6.15	Landlord's Alterations:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the Landlord shall have the right, at any time, to add buildings, additions and parking structures on the Lands or to make additions to, or subtractions from, or to change, rearrange or relocate any part of the Common Areas, the Lands or the Building including the Premises (as more particularly set out in Section 3.9 hereof). provided that in the case of the Premises, the premises, as rearranged or relocated shall in all material respects be comparable to the Premises and the Landlord shall give the Tenant at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of such rearrangement or relocation and shall pay all reasonable direct costs of construction and moving expenses in connection therewith.  The Landlord shall also have the right to enclose any open area, and to grant, modify or terminate easements and other agreements pertaining to the use and maintenance of all or any part of the Building, Common Areas or the Lands, and to close all or any part of the Lands, Common Areas or the Building to such extent as the Landlord considers reasonably necessary to prevent accrual of any rights therein to any persons at any time.  The Landlord is entitled to make changes to the parking areas and to make any changes or additions to the systems, pipes, conduits, Utilities or other building services within or serving the Premises or any other premises in the Building; provided that access to the Premises will at all times be available from the elevator lobby of the Building.

In doing any of the foregoing, the Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises and same shall not constitute a re-entry hereunder.  In connection with the Landlord’s re-entry to the Premises, the Landlord shall not be liable for any damage caused to the Tenant's property, whether or not except to the extent due to the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Landlord or those for whom the Landlord is in law responsible.  No claim for compensation shall be made by the Tenant by reason of inconvenience, nuisance or discomfort arising from such changes or the Landlord's entry.  The Landlord shall make such changes as expeditiously as is reasonably possible.  All Common Areas shall at all times be subject to the exclusive control and management of the Landlord or as the Landlord may direct from time to time.  The Tenant shall cooperate with the Landlord in any of its programmes to improve or make more efficient the operation of the Lands and Building.

7.5               Utilities:

(a)

Electrical Power:  The Landlord will supply to the Premises sufficient electrical power to operate the standard lighting fixtures supplied by the Landlord plus circuits sufficient to deliver power to the Premises as set out in Schedule "C" of this Lease.  If the Tenant requires electrical power at a different voltage or at a greater capacity than the Landlord's system can deliver, then any additional systems required, if available, shall be installed operated and maintained at the Tenant's cost.

The Tenant shall not assign this Lease, nor sublet all or any part of the Premises (together a “Transfer”) without the prior consent in writing of the Landlord, which consent shall, subject to Section 8.2 hereof, not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided however, that such consent to any assignment or subletting, shall not relieve the Tenant from its obligation to pay Rent and to perform all of the covenants, terms and conditions herein contained.  If this Lease is assigned or any part of the Premises is occupied by any person other than the Tenant, the Landlord may collect Rent or sums on account of Rent from the assignee, subtenant or transferee, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent payable hereunder but no such assignment, subletting, transfer of possession or collection or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or transferee as tenant shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant.

8.2               Landlord's Consent:

If the Tenant desires to assign this Lease, or to sublet the Premises, then and so often as such event shall occur, the Tenant shall make its request to the Landlord in writing, and the Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of all information requested by the Landlord, notify the Tenant in writing either that;  (a) the Landlord consents or does not consent, as the case may be, or (b) the Landlord elects to cancel and terminate this Lease if the request is to assign this Lease or to sublet all of the Premises, or if the request is to sublet a portion of the Premises only, to cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such portion.  If the Landlord elects to cancel this Lease as aforesaid, and so advises the Tenant in writing, the Tenant shall then notify the Landlord in writing within fifteen (15) days thereafter of the Tenant's intention either to refrain from such assigning or subletting or to accept the cancellation of this Lease (in whole, or in part).  Failure of the Tenant to deliver notice to the Landlord within such fifteen (15) day period advising of the Tenant's intention to refrain from such assigning or subletting, shall be deemed to be an acceptance by the Tenant of the Landlord's cancellation of this Lease (in whole, or in part, as the case may be). Any cancellation of this Lease pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be effective on the later of the date originally proposed by the Tenant as being the effective date of transfer or the last day of the month which is not less than sixty (60) days following the date of the Landlord's notice to cancel this Lease.

8.3               Requests for Consent:

Requests by the Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet all, or part of the Premises shall be in writing to the Landlord accompanied with such information as the Landlord may reasonably require and shall include an original copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, as the case may be.  Prior to any consent being given by the Landlord to the Tenant's request, the Landlord must be satisfied as to the following, inter alia:  (a) that the liability of the Tenant in fulfilling the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall remain; (b) the financial ability, good credit rating and business reputation and standing of the proposed assignee, subtenant or transferee, as the case may be; (c) that the Tenant has regularly and duly paid Rent and performed all of the covenants contained in this Lease; (d) that any Mortgagee will consent to such request; and (e) that the proposed assignee or subtenant has, or will enter into an agreement with the Landlord agreeing to be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.  Prior to receiving any consent pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Tenant will pay the Landlord's administrative fee of $1,000.00 plus G.S.T.  in connection with the review by the Landlord and/or its solicitors of the Tenant's request, and the preparation and review of any documentation in respect thereof.  If the Tenant receives consent pursuant to this Section 8.3, it shall be conditional on the Tenant paying to the Landlord as Additional Rent, any profit (net of all reasonable costs incurred by the Tenant in connection therewith) earned by the Tenant in assigning this Lease or subletting all or any part of the Premises.

8.4               Assignment by Landlord:

In the event of the sale or lease by the Landlord of its interest in the Lands or Building or any part or parts thereof and in conjunction therewith the assignment by the Landlord of this Lease or any interest of the Landlord herein, the Landlord shall be relieved of all liability under this Lease accruing from and after the effective date of any such assignment.

8.5               Liability of Tenant after Transfers:

No Transfer or other disposition by the Tenant of this Lease or of any interest under this Lease shall release the Tenant from the performance of any of its covenants under this Lease and the Tenant shall continue to be bound by and liable under this Lease.  The Tenant's liability under this Lease after any Transfer of the Tenant's interest will continue notwithstanding the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of any transferee of this Lease or the termination of this Lease for default or the termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation of this Lease pursuant to any statute or rule of law.  Furthermore, if after any Transfer of the Tenant's interest, this Lease is terminated for default or is terminated, disclaimed, surrendered or repudiated pursuant to any statute or rule of law, then, in addition to and without limiting the Tenant's liability under this Lease, the Tenant, upon notice from the Landlord given within ninety (90) days after any such termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation, shall enter into a new lease with the Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation and expiring on the date this Lease would have expired but for such termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease with respect to the period after such termination, disclaimer, surrender or repudiation.

(a)	the standard mortgage clause as required by the Mortgagee;

(b)

a waiver by the insurer of any rights of subrogation or indemnity or any other claim over, to which such insurer might otherwise be entitled against the Landlord, the Manager, the Mortgagee, any owner of the freehold interest to the Building or Lands (if different from the Landlord) and those for whom all and any of them are or is in law responsible, whether or not the damage is caused by their act, omission or negligence;

9.4               Failure to Maintain:

If the Tenant fails to take out or keep in force any insurance referred to in this Article IX, or should any such insurance not be approved by either the Landlord or the Mortgagee and should the Tenant not rectify the situation within forty-eight (48) hours following receipt by the Tenant of written notice from the Landlord (stating, if the Landlord or the Mortgagee do not approve of such insurance, the reasons therefor), the Landlord shall have the right, without assuming any obligation in connection therewith, to effect such insurance at the sole cost of the Tenant and all outlays by the Landlord shall be payable by the Tenant to the Landlord and shall be due on the first day of the next month following said payment by the Landlord without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Landlord under this Lease.

If this Lease expires or is terminated at a time when the Premises or Leasehold Improvements are damaged or destroyed as a result of a peril required to be insured against by the Tenant, the Tenant shall pay or assign to the Landlord, free of any encumbrance, an amount equal to the proceeds or the proceeds of insurance required to be maintained by the Tenant with respect to such damage or destruction.

9.6               Increase in Insurance Premiums/Cancellation:

ARTICLE XII - LANDLORD'S REMEDIES

12.1               Landlord May Perform Tenant's Covenants:

If the Tenant is in default of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements under this Lease (other than its covenant to pay Rent) and such default shall have continued for a period of ten (10) consecutive days after notice by the Landlord to the Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity the nature of such default and requiring the same to be remedied (or, if by reason of the nature thereof, such default cannot be cured by the payment of money and cannot with due diligence be wholly cured within such ten (10) day period, if the Tenant shall fail to proceed promptly to cure the same or shall thereafter fail to prosecute the curing of such default with due diligence), the Landlord, without prejudice to any other rights which it may have with respect to such default, may remedy such default and the cost thereof to the Landlord together with Interest thereon from the date such cost was incurred by the Landlord until repaid by the Tenant shall be treated as Additional Rent and added to the Rent due on the next succeeding date on which Basic Rent is payable.  Notwithstanding the above, if the nature of the default is such that it can be wholly cured in less than ten (10) days, then the Landlord's notice shall stipulate such reasonable lesser period, and if the default is not remedied within the time period set out, the Landlord may remedy the default as set out above.

12.2               Re-Entry:

When:

(a)	the Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent, whether lawfully demanded or not; after five (5) days’ prior written notice from the Landlord;

(b)

the Tenant is in default of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements under this Lease (other than its covenant to pay Rent) and such default has continued for a period of ten (10) consecutive days (or such shorter period set out in the Landlord's notice as may be reasonable in the circumstances) after notice by the Landlord to the Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity the nature of such default and requiring the same to be remedied, or, if by reason of the nature thereof, such default cannot be cured by the payment of money and cannot with due diligence be wholly cured within such ten (10) day period, if the Tenant has failed to proceed promptly to cure the same or has thereafter failed to prosecute the curing of such failure with due diligence;

(c)

an execution issues against any property of the Tenant or any guarantor or indemnifier of this Lease and remains outstanding for more than ten (10) days, or any receiver of any property of the Tenant or any guarantor or indemnifier of this Lease is appointed, or the Tenant or any guarantor or indemnifier of this Lease becomes insolvent or makes application for relief from creditors under the provisions of any statute now or hereafter in force or, under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, files a notice of intention or a proposal, makes an assignment in bankruptcy, has a receiving order made against it or otherwise becomes bankrupt, or any action, steps or proceedings whatever, are taken with a view to the winding up, dissolution or liquidation of the Tenant or any guarantor or indemnifier of this Lease, or with a view to the restructuring or compromise of any debt or other obligation of the Tenant or any guarantor or indemnifier of this Lease;

(d)	any insurance policy is cancelled or not renewed by any insurer by reason of any particular use or occupation of the Premises; or

 

(e)

the Premises have been abandoned, or have become vacant or have remained unoccupied for a period of five (5) consecutive days without the consent of the Landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or the Premises have been used by any other person or persons other than the Tenant or any person permitted by Article VIII hereof.

(f)

the Tenant or any company with which the Tenant is affiliated or associated (as those terms are defined in the Business Corporations Act, 1990 of Ontario, or any successor legislation thereto) is in default of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements under any lease or other written agreement between it and the Landlord (as owner or as manager) or any company with which the Landlord is affiliated or associated (as those terms are defined in the Business Corporations Act, 1990 of Ontario, or any successor legislation thereto), and such default shall have continued for such period of time that the Landlord's (or such affiliated or associated company's) remedies have become exercisable thereunder;

then, and in any of such cases, the then current month's Rent together with the Rent for the three (3) months next ensuing shall immediately become due and payable, and at the option of the Landlord the Term shall become forfeited and void, and the Landlord without notice or any form of legal process whatever may forthwith re-enter the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and repossess the same as of its former estate, anything contained in any statute or law to the contrary notwithstanding.  The Landlord may expel all persons and remove all property from the Premises and such property may be removed and sold or disposed of by the Landlord as it deems advisable or may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of  the Tenant without the Landlord being considered guilty of trespass or conversion or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby, provided, however, that such forfeiture shall be wholly without prejudice to the right of  the Landlord to recover arrears of rent and damages for any antecedent default by the Tenant of its covenants under this Lease. Should the Landlord at any time terminate this Lease by reason of any such event, then, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from the Tenant all damages it may incur as a result of such termination.

12.3               Right to Distrain:

The Tenant agrees that the Landlord shall have the right to distrain for any arrears of Rent without notice to the Tenant, in addition to the other rights reserved to it.  For such purpose the Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises as agent of the Tenant either by force or otherwise without being liable for any prosecution therefor and to take possession of any goods and chattels whatever on the Premises, and to sell the same at public or private sale and apply the proceeds of such sale on account of the Rent or in satisfaction of the breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Tenant under this Lease and the Tenant shall remain liable for the deficiency, if any.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Commercial Tenancies Act (Ontario), or any successor legislation or other statute which may hereafter be passed to take the place of the said act or to amend the same, none of the goods and chattels of the Tenant at any time during the continuance of the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for Rent and the Tenant hereby waives all and every benefit that it could or might have under such act.  Upon any claim being made for such exemption by the Tenant, or on distress being made by the Landlord, this provision may be pleaded as an estoppel against the Tenant in any action brought to test the right to the levying of distress upon any such goods.

12.4               Landlord May Follow Chattels:

In case of removal by the Tenant of the goods or chattels of the Tenant from the Premises, the Landlord may follow the same for thirty (30) days in the same manner as is provided for in the Commercial Tenancies Act, or any successor legislation or other statute which may hereafter be passed to take the place of the said act or to amend the same.

12.5               Rights Cumulative:

The rights and remedies given to the Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative, and no one of them, whether or not exercised by the Landlord shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other rights or remedies provided in this Lease or by law or in equity.

12.6               Acceptance of Rent Non-Waiver:

No receipt of monies by the Landlord from the Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term, or affect any notice previously given to enforce the payment of Rent then due or thereafter falling due or operate as a waiver of the right of the Landlord to recover possession of the Premises by proper action, proceeding or other remedy; it being agreed that, after the service of a notice to cancel this Lease and after the commencement of any action, proceeding or other remedy, or after a final order or judgment for possession of the Premises, the Landlord may demand, receive and collect any monies due, or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such notice, action, proceeding, order or judgment; and any and all such monies so collected shall be deemed payments on account of the use and occupation of the Premises or at the election of the Landlord on account of the Tenant's liability hereunder.

13.3               Subordination:

Subject to the Landlord obtaining a non-disturbance agreement in favour of the Tenant pursuant to Section 13.3A hereof, the Tenant shall postpone and subordinate its rights under this Lease to the Mortgagee, and any mortgage or mortgages, or any lien resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing, now or hereafter in force against the Lands and Building or any part or parts thereof as it exists from time to time, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof.

13.4               Rights of Mortgagees:

If at any time during the currency of a mortgage of the interest of the Landlord in the Premises or Building, notice of which has been given to the Tenant, the Landlord shall be in default under this Lease and such default would give rise to a right in the Tenant to terminate this Lease, the Tenant, before becoming entitled as against the holder of such mortgage to exercise any right to terminate this Lease, shall give to such Mortgagee notice in writing of such default.  Such Mortgagee shall have sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice, or such longer period as may be reasonable in the circumstances, within which to remedy such default, and if such default is remedied within such time the Tenant shall not by reason thereof terminate this Lease.  The rights and privileges granted to any such Mortgagee by virtue of this Section shall not be deemed to alter, affect or prejudice any of the rights and remedies available to the Tenant as against the Landlord.  Any notice to be given to such Mortgagee shall be deemed to have been properly given if mailed by registered mail to its most recent address of which the Tenant has notice.

ARTICLE XIV - MISCELLANEOUS

14.1               Joint and Several Liability:

If two or more individuals, corporations, partnerships or other business associations (or any combination of two or more thereof) sign this Lease as the Tenant, the liability of each such individual, corporation, partnership or other business association to pay Rent and to perform all other obligations hereunder shall be deemed to be joint and several.  In like manner, if the Tenant is a partnership or other business association, the members of which are, by virtue of statute or general law, subject to personal liability, the liability of each such member shall be joint and several.  The Tenant warrants and represents that it is duly formed and in good standing, and has full corporate or partnership authority, as the case may be, to enter into this Lease, and has taken all corporate or partnership action, as the case may be, necessary to make this Lease a valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

No condoning or waiver by either the Landlord or Tenant of any default or breach by the other at any time or times in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed or observed by the other shall be deemed to operate as a waiver of the Landlord's or Tenant's rights under this Lease, as the case may be, in respect of any continuing or subsequent default or breach nor so as to defeat or affect in any way the rights or remedies of the Landlord or the Tenant under this Lease, as the case may be, in respect of any such continuing or subsequent default or breach.  Unless expressly waived in writing, the failure of the Landlord or the Tenant to insist in any case upon the strict performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease to be performed or observed by the other shall not be deemed to operate as a waiver of the future strict performance or observance of such terms, covenants and conditions.

maintain its rights to enforce the warranties, guarantees and similar covenants given to it by parties constructing the Building or installing items therein; or

(b)

ensure that such work is compatible with existing systems, structures or work.

Deficiencies:

The Tenant shall make good any deficiencies discovered by the Landlord's Tenant Coordinator or by the Building inspectors whether in its own Premises or in adjacent premises affected by the Tenant's construction.  Failure to comply to a written request within thirty (30) days will cause the Landlord to correct Tenant deficiencies at the Tenant's expense.
