- 11 -

whether any such taxes, licence fees, rates, duties and assessments are payable by law by the Tenant or by the Landlord and whether or not same are allocated separately in respect of the Premises; and

(b)

all charges, rates, levies and assessments imposed, assessed or levied by any lawful authority during the Term in respect of electricity, light, heat, power, water, telephone and utilities of whatsoever nature or kind (including works and services in connection therewith) used in or supplied to the Premises.

and such amounts of Other Taxes shall, subject to Subsection 3.7(c) be paid:

	(iv)	at the same time and in the same manner monthly payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent are due and payable; or

	(v)	at the time the taxing authority in respect of Other Taxes requires the same to be paid by the Landlord if such time is earlier than the time in Subsection 3.7(a)(iv) above.

(b)

If a specific assessment of Other Taxes is unknown for whatever reason or the Landlord has not estimated a monthly payment of Other Taxes under Subsection 3.7(c) and any amount of Other Taxes is not paid in accordance with Subsections 3.7(a)(iv) and (v) above, then the Tenant shall pay the amount or amounts of Other Taxes to the Landlord within five business days of receipt of notice from the Landlord specifying the amount of such Other Taxes.

(c)

The Landlord shall for purposes of Subsection 3.7(a)(iv) above estimate the amount of Other Taxes to be paid in advance with monthly payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the period to which the estimate applies. Any necessary adjustment after the period in question shall be made in the same manner as Additional Rent.

- 12 -

	(d)	All Other Taxes shall be calculated and paid without regard to any input tax credits, set-offs, exceptions, exemptions or deductions to which the Landlord is or may be entitled to.

	(e)	The amounts payable by the Tenant as Other Taxes shall be deemed not to be Basic Rent or Additional Rent, but nevertheless the Landlord shall have all the same rights and remedies in the event of non-payment of Other Taxes as it has for non-payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent.

In no event will the Landlord have any obligations or liability in connection with the cessation or unavailability or interruption or suspension of any service or utilities at any time whether or not supplied by the Landlord. Should individual meters or apparatus for measurement of consumption for any or all utilities consumed on the Premises by the Tenant not be provided, the Landlord will allocate the cost of such utilities using as the basis for such allocation the Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the relative rates of consumption of each such tenant; such allocation by the Landlord will be conclusive and binding on the Tenant and will be payable by the Tenant with the monthly Basic Rent payment due.

3.9 Net Lease

The Tenant will pay to the Landlord duly and punctually all Basic Rent and Additional Rent required to be paid by the Tenant pursuant to this Lease without any deduction, abatement or setoff whatsoever, it being the intention of the Landlord and Tenant that this Lease is a completely carefree net lease to the Landlord, that all expenses, costs, payments and outgoings incurred in respect of the Premises and the Building, including their share of expenses for Common Areas and Facilities (unless otherwise expressly stipulated herein to the contrary) will be borne by the Tenant and other tenants of the Building, and that Basic Rent will be absolutely net to the Landlord.

3.10 Irregular Periods

If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to calculate Basic Rent or Additional Rent for irregular periods an appropriate pro rata adjustment will be made on a daily basis in order to compute such rent for such irregular periods as at the date of termination of the Term, unless otherwise expressly set out in this Lease.

- 13 -

3.11 Dispute as to Costs

If the Tenant disputes the amount of any moneys to be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord pursuant to this Lease, the certificate of a chartered accountant appointed by the Landlord to determine such amount will be conclusive and binding on the Landlord and Tenant. If the dispute is in connection with the amount of Common Costs, the determination of the chartered accountant need not be made before the date on which the Rental Year would have ended but for the expiration of the Term. The cost of obtaining such certificate shall be for the account of the Tenant unless the amount of money to be paid by the Tenant as claimed by the Landlord exceeds the amount of money to be paid by the Tenant as established in the certificate by more than five percent (5%) of the amount claimed by the Landlord.

Accordingly:

(a)

the Landlord, its servants and agents, accept no liability in respect of any loss, destruction, damage or theft of or from the vehicle or the contents of the vehicle save and to the extent where the same is proved by a court of competent jurisdiction in British Columbia to be caused by the negligence, wilful act or default or breach of statutory duty of the Landlord, its servants or agents, and

The Tenant will not locate, create or store in the Premises, the Building or the Lands and will not permit any of its agents, employees, suppliers, customers, invitees, sub-tenants, licensees or any other person having business with or under the control of the Tenant to locate, create or store on the Premises, the Building or the Lands any Hazardous Substance. A “Hazardous Substance” shall include, without limitation, any solid, liquid, smoke, waste, odour, heat, vibration, radiation, or combination thereof, which is deemed, classed or found to affect the natural, physical, chemical or biological quality of the environment, or which is or is likely to be injurious to the health or safety of persons, or which is injurious or damaging to property, plant or animal life, or which interferes with or is likely to interfere with the comfort, livelihood or enjoyment of life by a person, or which is declared to be hazardous or toxic under any law or regulation now or hereinafter enacted or promulgated by a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Landlord, the Tenant or the Premises, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing shall include any dangerous, noxious, toxic, flammable or explosive substance, radioactive material, asbestos or PCB’s. If the Tenant is in breach of the foregoing prohibition regarding the location, creation or storage of Hazardous Substances, the Landlord, in addition to all other remedies it has under this Lease, may require the Tenant, at the Tenant’s costs to cause such Hazardous Substances to be removed and to cause the Premises, the Building or the Lands, as the case may be, to be properly restored and repaired all in accordance with any applicable laws, bylaws, rules, regulations or orders. Alternatively, at its option, the Landlord may cause such hazardous substances to be removed and may repair and restore the Premises, the Building or the Lands, as the case may be, and may cause its employees or agents to enter on the Premises for such purpose. Should the Landlord undertake such removal, repair or restoration, the Tenant shall forthwith pay to the Landlord the total cost of such removal, repair or restoration plus a fee equal to ten percent (10%) of such cost and the total of such fee and costs shall, until paid to the Landlord, bear interest at the rate stipulated herein for amounts in arrears and shall be

- 16 -

recoverable as Additional Rent reserved hereunder. The Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds the Landlord harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage and expense (including, without limitation, legal fees on a solicitor and own client basis and costs incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement of claims) that the Landlord may incur as a result of or in connection with or arising from the breach of this Article 4.5 by the Tenant or in respect of non-compliance by the Tenant with any federal, provincial or municipal laws, bylaws, rules, regulations or orders relating to Hazardous Substances. The provisions of this paragraph requiring the Tenant to reimburse the Landlord’s costs plus pay a fee of ten percent (10%) of such costs, and requiring the Tenant to indemnify the Landlord, shall survive the termination of this Lease, anything to the contrary notwithstanding.

4.6 Signs

The Tenant will not erect, paint, display, place, affix or maintain or permit to be erected, painted, displayed, placed, affixed or maintained any sign, decoration, picture, lettering, symbol or notice of any nature or kind whatsoever (herein called the “Signs”) either on the exterior walls of the Premises or within the Premises if any such sign is visible from the exterior thereof or in the Building or Common Areas and Facilities without first obtaining the Landlord’s written consent which consent may be refused if in the Landlord’s sole discretion such Signs are not in keeping with the character of the Building. The Tenant, at its cost, will acquire all requisite statutory permits which may be required to erect or maintain any such approved Signs. The Tenant will cause any Signs to be maintained in a proper state of repair and will indemnify and save harmless the Landlord from all personal injuries or property damage or loss to any person caused by the existence of any such Signs. The Landlord will provide, at the cost of the Tenant, standard floor and door signage and will install and maintain a directory board for the Building in the lobby on the main floor.

4.7 Deliveries, Loading and Shipping

The Tenant will permit deliveries to the Premises and loading and unloading to be done only in and from loading areas designated by the Landlord and only in accordance with the Rules and Regulations as the Landlord from time to time may prescribe. The delivery or shipping of merchandise, supplies and fixtures to and from the Premises will be subject to such Rules and Regulations as in the sole judgment of the Landlord are necessary for the proper operation of the Premises and the Building.

4.8 Windows

The Landlord shall replace any glass in the outside windows and doors of the perimeter of the Premises (including perimeter windows in the exterior walls) with as good quality and size and in the case of perimeter windows, with glass of the same type and colour with the expense to be deemed a Common Cost during the continuance of this Lease, unless the glass shall be broken by the Tenant or the Tenant’s invitees, employees or agents, or by vandalism or in the course of a break-in in which event the Tenant shall forthwith reimburse the Landlord for such costs.

- 17 -

4.9 Condition of Premises

The Tenant will not permit the Premises to become untidy or unsightly and will not permit waste or refuse to accumulate therein.

4.10 Not to Affect Landlord’s Insurance

The Tenant will not do or omit to do or permit to be done or omitted to be done on the Premises or elsewhere in the Building anything which would directly or indirectly cause the insurance premiums in respect of the Building or the Landlord’s premiums for liability insurance to be increased. If any insurance premium is thereby increased, the Tenant will pay to the Landlord the amount by which the insurance premiums are so increased. The Tenant will not store or permit to be stored upon the Premises anything of a dangerous, inflammable or explosive nature or anything which would have the effect of increasing the Landlord’s insurance premiums or of leading to the cancellation of the Landlord’s insurance. If any insurance policy of the Landlord is cancelled by an insurer by reason of the use and occupation of the Premises by the Tenant or by an assignee, subtenant or anyone permitted by the Tenant to be on the Premises, then the Landlord, at its option and without prejudice to its other rights and remedies, may terminate this Lease upon seven (7) days’ written notice to the Tenant and thereupon Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be apportioned and paid in full to the date of expiration of such notice and the Tenant will immediately deliver up vacant possession of the Premises to the Landlord and the Landlord may re-enter and take possession of same and, at its option and at the expense of the Tenant, may rectify the situation causing such cancellation.

4.11 Preventing Cancellation

The Landlord, by its representatives, may at any time enter upon the Premises to remove any article or remedy any condition which, in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord, would be likely to lead to cancellation of any insurance policy.

4.12 Landlord’s Services

So long as the Tenant is not in default under this Lease, the Landlord will provide the services set forth in this Article 4 provided that the Landlord will have the right at any time, without liability or obligation to the Tenant, to discontinue or modify any services required of it under this Article 4 or elsewhere in this Lease during such times as may be necessary, or as the Landlord may deem reasonably advisable, by reason of accident or for the purpose of effecting repairs, replacements, alterations or improvements. Without limiting the foregoing, the Landlord will not be liable to the Tenant for failure for any reason to supply the said services or any of them provided that the Landlord will correct any such failure with reasonable diligence.

4.13 Cleaning

The Landlord will cause the Common Areas and Facilities to be kept clean and tidy and reasonably free of debris.

- 18 -

4.14 Electrical Current and Lighting Fixtures

The Landlord (subject to its ability to obtain same from its principal supplier) will cause the Premises to be supplied with electric current for normal lighting, which the Tenant agrees to take and receive from the Landlord. The Tenant will pay the cost, including installation, of all electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts used to replace those installed in the Premises at the commencement of the Term and the cost of cleaning, maintenance and repair of the fluorescent fixtures therein and the cost of periodic relamping and destaticizing of the said fluorescent fixtures as may be required from time to time by the Landlord in accordance with prudent building management practices. The Landlord, at its option, will have the exclusive right to provide and carry out at the Tenant’s expense such installations, maintenance, repair, relamping and destaticizing at reasonably competitive rates.

4.15 Air-Conditioning and Heating

The Landlord will provide an air-conditioning and heating system (but not any special air-conditioning as may be required with respect to the operation of computer equipment or any other equipment to be installed in the Premises) to provide a reasonable and constant supply of air to the Premises that is heated or cooled and capable of maintaining a reasonable temperature in the Premises. Same will be supplied during the following hours on business days; namely, Monday to Friday inclusive 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (except for statutory holidays) and on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The Landlord, however, when requested by the Tenant, may furnish air-conditioning to the Premises at such other times, including weekends and statutory holidays, but only at the expense of the Tenant, based on the Landlord’s estimate of its cost for labour and utilities used in the operation of the air-conditioning system at such hours or on such days. Such service will apply to all of the Building, provided always that the obligations of the Landlord hereunder will be conditional upon the following:

	(a)	the average amount of electrical energy consumed by the Tenant will be that amount required for normal lighting;

	(b)	the interior or partitioning of the Premises will not impede air-conditioning and heating;

	(c)	the Tenant shall keep the window shading on exterior windows fully closed when such windows are exposed to direct sunlight.

If the Landlord deems it necessary to run elements of the system through the Premises in order to serve other tenants, the Tenant will permit the Landlord and its agents and contractors to perform such work in the Premises. The Landlord will make a preliminary adjustment of the airconditioning and heating system at the commencement of the Term. The Tenant acknowledges that a reasonable time will be required after the Building has been fully occupied in order to fully adjust and balance the air-conditioning system and heating systems. If the apparatus or any part thereof used in heating and/or air-conditioning the Premises become damaged, destroyed or inoperative, the Landlord will have a reasonable time within which to repair the damage or repair the apparatus and the Landlord will not in any event be liable to the Tenant or its officers or

- 19 -

employees for any direct, indirect or consequential damage or damages for personal discomfort or illness arising by reason of the interruption of such service.

4.16 Use of Electric Current

The Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current will not exceed the capacity of existing electrical wiring in and supplying the Premises.

4.17 Floor Covering

The Tenant will maintain and repair the floor covering in the Premises in as good a condition as reasonable use will permit, reasonable wear and tear only excepted, and whether or not installed by the Landlord. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, such maintenance and repair will include in the case of carpeting regular spot cleaning and shampooing thereof in a manner acceptable to the Landlord or alternatively the Landlord may perform the Tenants obligation in Article 4.17 at its discretion.

4.18 Elevators

Subject to the supervision of the Landlord, the Landlord will furnish for use by the Tenant and its employees and invitees in common with other persons entitled thereto passenger elevator service to the Premises, and will furnish for the use of the Tenant in common with others entitled thereto at reasonable intervals and at such hours as the Landlord may select, freight elevator service to the Premises for the carriage of furniture, equipment, deliveries and supplies. If any elevator shall become inoperative or shall be damaged or destroyed, the Landlord shall have a reasonable time within which to repair such damage or replace such elevator and the Landlord shall repair or replace the same as soon as reasonably possible, but shall in no event be liable for indirect or consequential damages or other damages for personal discomfort or illness during such period of repair or replacement.

4.19 Washrooms

Unless the Premises include the washrooms on any floor which are standard to the Building and would otherwise be available for common use, the Landlord will provide for the use of the Tenant and its employees and invitees, in common with others entitled thereto, washrooms available to the Premises on each floor in the Building upon which any part of the Premises is located.

4.20 Janitor Services

The Landlord will provide janitor and cleaning services to the Premises, it being agreed by the Tenant that any janitor or cleaning service which the Landlord shall agree to provide in excess of services ordinarily provided by the Landlord for tenants of the Building (including those extra services which the Landlord shall make available by demand or special arrangement) shall be provided at the Tenant’s expense.

ARTICLE 5
ASSIGNMENT, SUB-LETTING, SALE

5.1 Consent Required

Prior to the Tenant agreeing to the terms and conditions with any person or persons (other than the Landlord) upon which it would be willing to effect a Transfer (as hereinafter defined) of this Lease, the Tenant shall give written notice thereof to the Landlord.

The Tenant will not assign this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part of the Premises, nor mortgage or encumber this Lease or the 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 Premises by any person (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to in this Article 5 as a “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of the Landlord in each instance. No request for consent will be considered by the Landlord unless the Tenant has notified the Landlord of all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer with the proposed Transferee (as hereinafter defined). Subject to the exercise of the Landlord’s option to cancel contained in Article 5.2 and to the covenant, creditworthiness, and business reputation of the Transferee being at least equal to that of the Tenant, the Landlord’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld. 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 restriction against a Transfer is to be construed so as to include a restriction against any Transfer by operation of law and no Transfer shall take place by reason of failure by the Landlord to give notice to the Tenant within ten (10) business days as required by Article 5.2.

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 Gross 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 or the Guarantor, if any, from the further performance by the Tenant or the Guarantor, if any, of the covenants or obligations on the part of the Tenant or the Guarantor, if any, herein contained. Any document or consent evidencing such Transfer of this Lease if permitted or consented to by the Landlord shall be prepared by the Landlord or its solicitors, and all legal costs with respect thereto shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord forthwith upon demand as Additional Rent. 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 any such Transfer permitted or consented to by the Landlord, the Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable with the Transferee on this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.

5.2 Landlord’s Option

If the Tenant intends to effect a Transfer of all or any part of the Premises or this Lease, in whole or in part, or any estate or interest hereunder, then and so often as such event shall occur, the

- 21 -

Tenant shall give prior written notice to the Landlord of such intent, specifying therein the proposed Transferee and providing all material information with respect thereto including, without limitation, information concerning the principals thereof and such credit, financial or business information relating to the proposed Transferee as the Landlord requires, and the Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days thereafter, notify the Tenant in writing that, either:

	(a)	it consents or does not consent in accordance with the provisions and qualifications to this Article 5 to the Transfer; or

	(b)	it elects to cancel this Lease on the date on which the proposed Transfer was to be effected in preference to giving such consent.

If the Landlord elects to cancel this Lease as aforesaid, the Tenant shall notify the Landlord in writing within five (5) days thereafter of the Tenant’s intention either to refrain from such Transfer or to accept the cancellation of this Lease, and if the Tenant fails to deliver such notice within such period of five (5) days, this Lease will thereby be terminated as of the date on which the proposed Transfer was to be effected. If the Tenant advises the Landlord within such five (5) day period that it intends to refrain from such Transfer, then the Landlord’s election to cancel this Lease as aforesaid shall become null and void in such instance.

5.3 No Advertising of the Premises

The Tenant shall not advertise the whole or any part of the Premises or this Lease for purposes of a Transfer and shall not print, publish, post, display or broadcast any notice or advertisement to that effect, and shall not permit any broker or other person to do any of the foregoing, unless the complete text and format of any such notice, advertisement, or offer is first approved in writing by the Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Without in any way restricting or limiting the Landlord’s right to refuse any text or format on other grounds, any text or format proposed by the Tenant shall not contain any reference to the rental rate for the Premises.

5.4 Landlord’s Conveyance

Should the Landlord convey or assign or otherwise divest itself of its interest in the Building and to the extent that the transferee or assignee thereof assumes the covenants and obligations of the Landlord herein, the Landlord will be relieved of its obligations under this Lease from and after the effective date of such conveying, assigning or divesting, save and except for the obligation to account to the Tenant for any monies then due and payable to the Tenant by the Landlord pursuant to this Lease.

ARTICLE 6
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, BUILDERS’ LIENS, SECURITY INTERESTS

6.1 Compliance with Laws

The Tenant, during the Term and at its own expense, will promptly comply with all statutory requirements of every competent federal, provincial, municipal, regional and other statutory authority and all requirements of fire insurance underwriters in force from time to time during the Term which relate to the Tenant’s partitioning, equipment, operation and use of the Premises

- 22 -

or the making by the Tenant of any alterations, replacements, changes, improvements, repairs or additions to the Premises or the conduct of any business conducted in or from the Premises.

6.2 Builders’ Liens

The Tenant will not suffer or permit any lien under the Builders’ Lien Act of British Columbia or like statute to be registered against title to the Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises or against title to the Lands by reason of labour, services or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Tenant or anyone holding any interest through or under the Tenant during the Term. If any such lien is registered, the Tenant will procure registration of its discharge forthwith after the lien has come to the notice of the Tenant. If the Tenant desires to contest in good faith the amount or validity of any lien and has so notified the Landlord and if the Tenant has deposited with the Landlord or has paid into Court to the credit of the lien action, the amount of the lien claim plus an amount for costs satisfactory to the Landlord, then the Tenant may defer payment of such lien claim for a period of time sufficient to enable the Tenant to contest the claim with due diligence, provided always that neither the Premises nor the Tenant’s leasehold interest therein nor the Lands will thereby become liable to forfeiture or sale. The Landlord may, but will not be obliged to, discharge any such lien at any time if, in the Landlord’s judgment, the Premises or the Tenant’s interest therein or the Lands become liable to any forfeiture or sale or is otherwise in jeopardy and any amount paid by the Landlord in so doing, together with all reasonable costs and expenses of the Landlord, will be reimbursed to the Landlord by the Tenant forthwith on demand. Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Tenant, or imply consent or agreement on the part of the Landlord, to subject the Landlord’s estate and interest in the Premises to any lien. The Landlord may at any time and from to time during the Term or any renewal thereof enter the Premises to place notices upon the Premises that the Landlord will not be responsible for any alterations, additions, repairs or rebuilding work, and they also may give such notice in writing to any potential lien claimants.

6.3 No Security Interests

The Tenant covenants that it will not create a security interest in fixtures or goods installed in the Premises, or in any improvements, equipment or structures constituting replacements, alterations and additions to the Premises including, but not being limited to, any of the Tenant’s trade fixtures or personal property located in the Premises and all improvements, items or structures constituting replacements, alterations and additions to the Premises, nor permit the filing of a notice pursuant to Section 49 of the Personal Property Security Act of British Columbia against this Lease, the Premises, the Building or the Lands (or any portion thereof), provided that the Tenant may create a security interest in fixtures or goods which may become fixtures if each secured party covenants in writing with the Landlord in a form acceptable to the Landlord that the secured party’s interest is subordinate to the Landlord’s. If the Tenant creates a security interest in the fixtures or goods which may become fixtures in the Premises not in accordance with the foregoing, in favour of a third party, or if a creditor of the Tenant files a notice pursuant to Section 49 of the Personal Property Security Act of British Columbia and the Tenant fails to discharge the security interest or Section 49 notice within fourteen (14) days of such filing, then the Tenant is in default of this Article 6.3 and, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Landlord, the Landlord may make any payments to a secured party required to

- 23 -

release the secured party’s claim, and any such amounts paid by the Landlord shall be collectible by the Landlord from the Tenant in the same manner as rent.

ARTICLE 7
REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE AND ALTERATIONS

7.1 Agreement for Construction

In the event that the Landlord and Tenant enter into an agreement whereby the Landlord agrees at the Tenant’s cost and expense to provide labour and material and other costs for work to the Premises upon the receipt of the Tenant’s plans and specifications, the Landlord shall notify the Tenant of the estimated cost of such work (as estimated by the Landlord’s contractor and the Tenant waives any claims against the Landlord or the Landlord’s contractor with respect to the accuracy of the aforementioned estimate). Upon completion of the work by the Landlord’s contractor the Landlord shall bill the Tenant for the cost of the work and the Tenant covenants and agrees to pay such amount to the Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such statement. The cost of the work will include, in addition to labour, overhead and ancillary costs, material and equipment, permit, consultant and all other similar fees, and a management fee for a sum equal to ten percent (10%) of the final cost of the said work. Added to such cost shall be any costs incurred by the Landlord through changes that the Tenant may make or request after the Architect or other professional consultant to the Landlord has incorporated the Tenant’s approved design into the overall plans for the Building. Should the Tenant fail to make such payments as hereinabove provided, the Landlord may at any time thereafter declare this Lease to be null and void and of no further force and effect and the Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord for any costs, losses or damages.

7.2 Repair and Maintenance

The Tenant, throughout the Term at its own expense, will repair, maintain and keep the Premises and all improvements, appurtenances and equipment therein and thereon in good repair and condition, as is fitting for a comparable quality retail and office development including all repairs and maintenance to electrical, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, sprinkler and plumbing fixtures and equipment, and whether such repairs are structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, excepting from such standard of repair and maintenance damage by fire and other risks (only to the extent that the Landlord is insured against such perils), reasonable wear and tear (to the extent only that such reasonable wear and tear is not inconsistent with maintenance in good order and condition of the Premises generally) and repairs for which the Landlord is responsible under this Lease. For the purposes of this paragraph, “repairs” will include replacements and renewals when necessary. Repairs and maintenance by the Tenant to the electrical heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, sprinkler and plumbing fixtures and equipment shall only be performed by or under the supervision of the Landlord, but shall be at the Tenant’s expense.

7.3 Inspection and Emergencies

The Landlord, by its representatives, may enter upon the Premises at all reasonable times and during any emergency to inspect the state of repair and maintenance.

- 24 -

7.4 Landlord’s Approval of the Tenant’s Repairs and Work

The Tenant shall not make any repairs, alterations, replacements, decorations or improvements to any part of the Premises without first obtaining the Landlord’s written approval. The Tenant shall submit to the Landlord:

(a)

details of the proposed work including drawings and specifications conforming to good construction practice and approved by the Landlord or consultants designated by the Landlord;

(b)

such indemnification against liens, costs, damages and expenses as the Landlord requires; and

(c)

evidence satisfactory to the Landlord that the Tenant has obtained, at its expense, all necessary consents, permits, licences and inspections from all governmental and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction. All such Tenant’s work, repairs, replacements, alterations or improvements by the Tenant to the Premises approved of by the Landlord shall be performed:

		at the sole cost of the Tenant;

		by competent workmen whose labour union affiliations are compatible with others employed by the Landlord and its contractors provided that the Tenant’s workmen shall not be required to submit to restrictive practices in contravention of the Labour Code of British Columbia in force at the time of their employment;

	(iii)	in a good and workmanlike manner;

	(iv)	in accordance with the drawings and specifications approved by the Landlord or its consultants; and

	(v)	subject to the reasonable regulations, controls and inspection of the Landlord.

Any such work, repair, replacement, alteration, decoration or improvement made by the Tenant without the prior written consent of the Landlord or which is not made in accordance with the drawings and specifications approved by the Landlord or its consultants shall, if requested by the Landlord, be promptly removed by the Tenant at the Tenant’s expense and the Premises restored to their previous condition. Failing such removal, the Landlord shall be entitled to remove the same forthwith without notice and at the Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease including, without limitation Article 7.2, if any such work, repairs, maintenance, alterations, decorations, additions or improvements to the Premises or to any improvements installed by or on behalf of the Tenant for the benefit of the Premises which are approved by the Landlord, affect the structure of the Premises or any part of the Building other than the Premises or are installed outside the Premises, such work shall at the option of the Landlord be performed only by the Landlord, at the Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

- 25 -

From time to time during the course of construction, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord upon demand, both the Landlord’s costs relating to any such work, repairs, alterations, decorations, additions or improvements including the fees of any architectural and engineering consultants plus a sum equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total cost thereof representing the Landlord’s overhead. No work, repairs, alterations, additions, decorations or improvements to the Premises by or on behalf of the Tenant shall be permitted which, in the Landlord’s opinion, may weaken or endanger the structure or adversely affect the condition or operation of the Premises or the Building or diminish the value thereof, or restrict or reduce the Landlord’s coverage for zoning purposes.

7.5 Maintenance by the Landlord

The Landlord shall, at all times throughout the Term, but subject to this Article 7 and reasonable wear and tear, maintain and repair, or cause to be maintained and repaired, as would a prudent owner of a reasonably similar commercial development, having regard to size, age and location, the structure of the Building including, without limitation, the foundations, exterior wall assemblies including weatherwalls, sub-floor, roof, bearing walls, and structural columns and beams of the Building. The cost of such maintenance and repairs (except for the cost of repairing or replacing any inherent structural defects or weaknesses or exterior glass damaged by the Tenant, its invitees, employees, or agents) shall form part of the Common Costs.

If the Tenant refuses or neglects to carry out any maintenance, repairs and replacements properly as required pursuant to Article 7.2 hereof, and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord, the Landlord may, but shall not be obliged to, perform such maintenance, repairs, and replacements without being liable for any loss or damages that may result to the Tenant’s merchandise, fixtures or other property or to the Tenant’s business by reason thereof. Upon completion of such maintenance, repairs and replacements, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord upon demand, the Landlord’s costs relating thereto plus a sum equal to fifteen percent (15%) thereof representing the Landlord’s overhead. The Tenant agrees that the making of any repairs by the Landlord pursuant to this Article 7.5 is not a re-entry or a breach of any covenant for quiet enjoyment contained in this Lease or implied by law. Without limiting the rights of the Landlord pursuant to Article 7.4, the Landlord will have the right at any time during the Term to repair, remodel, alter or improve the Building (or to change the location of the entrance or entrances to the Building and the Premises other than the entrance provided for the Tenant) without compensation or responsibility to the Tenant and to enter into, pass through, work upon and attach scaffolds or other temporary structures to the Premises putting the Tenant to as little disturbance or inconvenience as is reasonably practicable.

7.6 Repair where the Tenant is at Fault

Notwithstanding any other terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease (including, without limitation, the Landlord’s obligations to repair set out in Article 7.5, the Landlord’s obligations to take out insurance on the Building, and the Tenant’s obligation to pay its Proportionate Share of the cost of insurance premiums as a Common Cost), if the Building or any part thereof or the Common Areas and Facilities (including those Common Areas and Facilities within or passing through the Premises), or any equipment, machinery, facilities or improvements contained therein or made thereto, or the roof or outside walls of the Building or

- 26 -

any other structural portions thereof require repair or become damaged or destroyed through the negligence, carelessness or misuse of the Tenant (or those for whom it is in law responsible) or through it in any way stopping up or damaging the heating apparatus, water pipes, drainage pipes or other equipment or facilities or parts of the Building, the cost of the resulting repairs, replacements or alterations plus a sum equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the cost thereof representing the Landlord’s overhead, shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord as Additional Rent forthwith upon presentation of an account of such expenses incurred by the Landlord.

The Tenant shall, when it becomes aware of same or when the Tenant should, acting reasonably, have become aware of same, notify the Landlord of any damage to, or deficiency or defect in any part of the Building, including the Premises, any equipment or utility systems, or any installations located therein, notwithstanding the fact that the Landlord may have no obligations with respect to them.

7.9 Tenant Improvement Allowance

Provided the Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises and further provided that there has been no default by the Tenant in its obligations under the Lease, the Landlord shall pay, as a contribution toward the initial leasehold improvements installed by or on behalf of the Tenant, the maximum sum of $100,000.00, plus GST thereon (the “Allowance”). The Allowance shall be spent solely on improvements to the Premises, and shall be payable to the Tenant’s approved contractor in instalments as agreed between the Landlord, the Tenant and the approved contractor, on submission of the contractor’s invoices duly certified as correct by the Tenant and provided that the work specified therein has been carried out, and provided further that the Tenant has executed the Lease in a form satisfactory to the Landlord.

	(b)	the Tenant has furnished evidence satisfactory to the Landlord of such installations;

ARTICLE 12
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION AND EXPROPRIATION

12.1 Destruction of the Premises

If the Premises are at any time destroyed or damaged (including smoke damage), as a result of fire or other hazard or casualty against which the Landlord is insured then and so often as such event occurs the Lease will continue in full force and effect, except that the Basic Rent and contributions to Common Costs hereby reserved will abate to the extent of any recovery by the Landlord under its rental interruption insurance in respect of the Premises. The Landlord, provided it does not terminate the tenancy pursuant to this Article 12 and to the extent of any recovery by the Landlord under its insurance policies (other than rental interruption insurance) taken out pursuant to the terms of this Lease, will commence diligently to reconstruct, rebuild or repair the Premises except to the extent that the Tenant is obliged to repair hereunder. In the event of damage or destruction to the leasehold improvements covered by insurance required to be taken out by the Tenant pursuant to Subsection 11.1(a), and this Term and tenancy are not cancelled, the Landlord and the Landlord’s mortgagee or mortgagees will release the insurance proceeds to the Tenant and the Tenant will use the proceeds of such insurance for the purpose of repairing or restoring such leasehold improvements. If the Term and tenancy are cancelled pursuant to either this Article 12.1 or Article 12.3 then the Landlord and the Landlord’s mortgagee or mortgagees will be entitled to the insurance proceeds relating to the leasehold improvements. Upon the Tenant being notified in writing by the Landlord that the Landlord’s

- 33 -

work of reconstruction or rebuilding or repairs is substantially completed, the Tenant will complete forthwith all Tenant’s work including, without limitation, such work as is required to fully restore the Premises for business and the Tenant will recommence paying Basic Rent and contributions to Common Costs within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Landlord’s notice that the Landlord’s work is substantially completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises are damaged or destroyed as aforesaid at any time during the last two years of the Term or of any renewal term contained herein, the Landlord will not be required to reconstruct, rebuild or repair the Premises following any such damage or destruction unless the Tenant has exercised at least one of any subsequent options to renew which it may have in accordance with this Lease. If the Landlord elects not to reconstruct, rebuild or repair the Premises following any such damage or destruction, the Landlord will so notify the Tenant within ninety (90) days following any such damage or destruction of its election and in the case of such election, the Term and the tenancy hereby created will expire by lapse of time upon the 30th day after such election is made, and the Tenant, within such thirty (30) day period, will vacate the Premises and surrender the same to the Landlord and the Landlord will have the right to re-enter and/or repossess the Premises discharged of this Lease and to remove all persons and property therefrom.

12.2 Destruction of Building

If less than fifteen percent (15%) of the area of the Building is at any time destroyed or damaged (including smoke damage) as a result of fire, hazard or other casualty against which the Landlord is insured notwithstanding that the Premises may be unaffected by such occurrence, or, if more than fifteen percent (15%) of the area of the Building is so damaged or destroyed but the Landlord does not exercise its option to terminate this Lease as set out in Article 12.3, then so often as such event occurs, the Lease will continue in full force and effect, except that the rent hereby reserved will abate to the extent of any recovery by the Landlord under its rental interruption insurance in respect of the Premises, and the Landlord will commence diligently to reconstruct, rebuild or repair the Building following such destruction or damage, but only to the extent of the Landlord’s responsibilities pursuant to the terms of the various leases of premises in the Building exclusive of any tenant’s responsibilities set out therein.

12.3 Termination

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 12.1, if fifteen percent (15%) or more of the area of the Building is at any time destroyed or damaged as set out in Article 12.2, then, and so often as such event may occur, the Landlord, at its option, to be exercised by notice in writing to the Tenant, given within ninety (90) days next following any such occurrence, may elect to cancel or terminate this Lease and in the case of such election, the Term and the tenancy hereby created shall expire by lapse of time upon the 30th day after such notice is given, and the Tenant, within such thirty (30) day period will vacate the Premises and surrender the same to the Landlord with the Landlord having the right to re-enter and/or repossess the Premises discharged of this Lease and to remove all persons and property therefrom.

The certificate of the Architect as to the percentage of the area of the Building damaged or destroyed, the date upon which the Landlord’s work or Tenant’s work of reconstruction and/or repairs is substantially completed, and the state of completion of any work of either the Landlord or the Tenant under this Lease will be conclusive and binding on the Landlord and Tenant. “Area” in this Article 12 means Rentable Area calculated in accordance with this Lease.

12.6 Expropriation

Both the Landlord and the Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in respect of any expropriation of all or any part of the Premises or any other part of the Building, so that each may receive the maximum award in the case of any expropriation to which they are respectively entitled at law. If and to the extent that any portion of the Building other than the Premises is expropriated, then the full proceeds accruing therefrom or awarded as a result thereof, shall belong solely to the Landlord and the Tenant will abandon or assign to the Landlord any rights which the Tenant may have or acquire by operation of law to such proceeds or award and will promptly execute such documents as in the opinion of the Landlord are or may be necessary to give effect to this intention. All compensation and damages awarded by the expropriating authority with respect to the taking of the Premises or part thereof including any payment for diminution in value of the remainder of the Premises will belong to the Landlord and the Tenant will only be entitled to receive such compensation or damages as it may claim and recover from the expropriating authority in respect of the loss of occupancy, interruption and Tenant’s fixtures.

ARTICLE 13
QUIET ENJOYMENT

13.1 Quiet Enjoyment

If the Tenant duly and punctually pays the Basic Rent and Additional Rent and complies with its obligations under this Lease, the Tenant will be entitled to peaceably possess and enjoy the Premises during the Term without any interruption or disturbance from the Landlord or any person or persons claiming by, through or under the Landlord.

ARTICLE 14
PERFORMANCE OF TENANT’S COVENANTS, DEFAULT AND BANKRUPTCY

14.1 Landlord or its Lender(s) may Perform Covenants

If the Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease, then the Landlord, without limiting any other remedy which it may have, will have the right to remedy any such default and

- 35 -

for such purpose may at any time enter upon the Premises. No entry for such purpose will be deemed to cause a forfeiture or termination of this Lease or shall be deemed to be a trespass. In order to cure such default, the Landlord may do such things as are necessary to cure the default and such things as may be incidental thereto (including, without limitation, the right to make repairs and to expend moneys). The Tenant will reimburse the Landlord for the aggregate of all expenses incurred by the Landlord in remedying any such default. The Landlord will be under no obligation to remedy any default of the Tenant and will not incur any liability to the Tenant for any action or omission in the course of its remedying or attempting to remedy any such default unless such act amounts to intentional misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Landlord.

In the event of a default by the Landlord resulting in the commencement of enforcement proceedings by their mortgage lender(s) against the Landlord in respect of financing that encumbers the Building and Lands, the Tenant will, upon receiving written notice of same, attorn to the Lender for the duration of the Lease upon the same terms and conditions as herein. Within five (5) business days of the Landlord providing the Tenant with a short form agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Landlord’s lender(s) to give effect to the forgoing section (the “Attornment Agreement”), the Tenant shall execute same and return one fully executed copy to the lender as specified in the Attornment Agreement. The Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints the Landlord as Attorney for the Tenant with full power to execute and deliver the Attornment Agreement for and in the name of the Tenant should the Tenant fail to do so within five (5) business days of receiving same.

14.2 Rights of Termination

If and whenever:

	(a)	any Basic Rent or Additional Rent is not paid when due;

	(b)	the Tenant has on more than one occasion in any Rental Year not paid any Basic Rent or Additional Rent on the day on which the same ought to have been paid;

	(c)	there is a breach of any of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder (other than as set out in the other clauses of this Article) including without limitation the Rules and Regulations set out in Schedule “B”, which is not cured within five (5) days after delivery of notice by the Landlord to the Tenant specifying such breach, provided that if any default of the Tenant can only be cured by the performance of work or the furnishing of materials and if such work cannot reasonably be completed or such materials reasonably obtained and utilized within said five (5) days, then such default will not be deemed to continue if the Tenant proceeds promptly with such work as may be necessary to cure the default and continues diligently to complete such work;

	(d)	the Term or any goods and chattels on the Premises are at any time seized or taken in execution or attachment;

	(e)	the Tenant assigns, sublets or parts with possession of the Premises without the Landlord’s consent as required herein; or

- 36 -

(f)

the Premises remain vacant or unoccupied without the written consent of the Landlord;

then in any of the said cases (and notwithstanding any prior waiver of breach of covenant) the Landlord, at its option, may (and without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may then have or be entitled to) immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice or any form of legal process take possession of the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and expel the Tenant and those claiming through or under it and remove its or their effects (forcibly if necessary) without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, any statute or law to the contrary notwithstanding.

14.3 Bankruptcy

If and whenever:

	(a)	a receiver, receiver manager, guardian, trustee in bankruptcy or any other similar officer is appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of the property of the Tenant or the Guarantor, if any, by a court of competent jurisdiction;

	(b)	a petition is filed for the re-organization of the Tenant or the Guarantor, if any, under any provision of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act or any law of Canada or any province thereof or of the jurisdiction in which the Tenant or the Guarantor as the case may be is incorporated relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, then in force;

	(c)	the Tenant or the Guarantor, if any, becomes insolvent; or

	(d)	if any application or petition or certificate or order is made or granted for the winding up or dissolution of the Tenant or the Guarantor, if any, voluntarily or otherwise;

then in any such case this Lease, at the option of the Landlord, will thereupon terminate and the Term will immediately become forfeited and void and the current month’s Gross Rent and the next ensuing three (3) months’ Gross Rent will immediately become due and payable and the Landlord, without notice or any form of legal process, may re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and expel the Tenant and those claiming under it and remove its or their effects (forcibly if necessary) without being deemed guilty of trespass, any statute or law to the contrary notwithstanding.

14.4 Waiver with Respect to Re-Entry

The Tenant hereby waives any present or future requirement that notice of the Landlord’s intention to re-enter be served or that the Landlord commence legal proceedings in order to reenter.

- 37 -

14.5 Waiver of Benefit of Legislation and Seizure

The Tenant irrevocably waives and renounces the benefit of any present or future law taking away or diminishing the Landlord’s privilege on the property of the Tenant and right of distress and agrees with the Landlord notwithstanding any such law, that the Landlord may seize and sell all the Tenant’s goods and property, whether within the Premises or not, and apply the proceeds of such sale upon Basic Rent and Additional Rent and upon the cost of the seizure and sale in the same manner as might have been done if such law had not been passed. If the Tenant vacates the Premises leaving any Basic Rent or Additional Rent unpaid, the Landlord, in addition to any remedy otherwise provided at law or in equity, may seize and sell the goods and chattels of the Tenant at any place to which the Tenant or any other person may have removed them in the same manner as if such goods and chattels had remained on the Premises. If the Landlord, being entitled so to do, levies distress against the Tenant’s goods and chattels, the Landlord may use such force as the Landlord may deem necessary for the purpose and for gaining admission to the Premises without the Landlord being liable for any loss or damage caused thereby.

14.6 Re-Entry and Damages

If and whenever the Landlord is entitled to re-enter the Premises, or does re-enter the Premises, the Landlord may either terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the Tenant, or by posting notice of termination in the Premises, and in such event the Tenant will forthwith vacate and surrender the Premises or alternatively, the Landlord may from time to time without terminating the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, make alterations and repairs considered by the Landlord necessary to facilitate a sub-letting, and sub-let the Premises or any part thereof as agent of the Tenant for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as the Landlord in its reasonable discretion considers advisable. Upon each subletting all rent and other moneys received by the Landlord from the sub-letting will be applied, first to the payment of indebtedness other than Basic Rent due hereunder from the Tenant to the Landlord, second to the payment of costs and expenses of the sub-letting including brokerage fees and solicitors’ fees and costs of the alterations and repairs, and third to the payment of Basic Rent due and unpaid hereunder. The residue, if any, will be held by the Landlord and applied in payment of future Gross Rent as it becomes due and payable. If the Gross Rent received from the sub-letting during a month is less than the Gross Rent to be paid during that month by the Tenant, the Tenant will pay the deficiency to the Landlord. The deficiency will be calculated and paid monthly. No re-entry by the Landlord will be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of that intention is given to the Tenant. Despite a sub-letting without termination, the Landlord may elect at any time to terminate this Lease for a previous breach. If the Landlord terminates this Lease for any breach and elects to claim damages for such breach, the Tenant will pay to the Landlord on demand therefor:

	(a)	Gross Rent up to the time of re-entry or termination;

	(b)	all additional charges and Additional Rent payable by the Tenant pursuant to the provisions hereof up until the date of re-entry or termination whichever is later;

- 38 -

	(c)	such expenses as the Landlord may incur or has incurred in connection with re- entering or terminating or re-letting, or collecting sums due or payable by the Tenant or realizing upon assets seized including brokerage expense, legal fees and disbursements determined on a solicitor and own client basis, or the expense of keeping the Premises in good order and repairing or maintaining the same or preparing the Premises for re-letting; and

	(d)	as liquidated damages for the loss of Gross Rent and other income of the Landlord expected to be derived from this Lease during the period which would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term had it not been terminated, the amount, if any, by which the rental value of the Premises for such period established by reference to the terms and provisions of this Lease, exceeds the rental value of the Premises for such period established by reference to the terms and provisions upon which the Landlord re-lets them, if such re-letting is accomplished within a reasonable time after termination of this Lease, and otherwise with reference to all market and other relevant circumstances. Rental value is to be computed in each case by reducing to present worth at an assumed interest rate of ten percent (10%) per annum all rent and other amounts to become payable for such period and where the ascertainment of amounts to become payable requires it, the Landlord may make estimates and assumptions which will govern unless shown to be unreasonable or erroneous.

14.7 Remedies of Landlord are Cumulative

The remedies of the Landlord in this Lease are cumulative and are in addition to any remedies of the Landlord at law or in equity. No remedy will be deemed to be exclusive and the Landlord may from time to time have recourse to one or more of all the available remedies specified herein or at law or in equity.

14.8 Legal Fees

If the Landlord retains a lawyer or other person reasonably necessary for the purpose of assisting the Landlord in enforcing any of its rights under this Lease in the event of default by the Tenant, the Landlord will be entitled to collect from the Tenant as Additional Rent the costs of all such services on a solicitor and own client basis.

ARTICLE 15

The Tenant will not be entitled to any compensation for any inconvenience, nuisance or discomfort thereby occasioned or to cancel this Lease, and no such

- 39 -

interruption will be deemed to be a disturbance of the Tenant’s enjoyment of the Premises. The Landlord, in the event of such interruption, will proceed to overcome same with all reasonable diligence.

ARTICLE 16
REGULATIONS

16.1 Regulations

The Tenant and its licensees and invitees will be bound by all such reasonable regulations as the Landlord may from time to time make of which written notice is given to the Tenant including those set out in Schedule “B”. All such regulations will be deemed to be incorporated into and form part of this Lease. Nothing in this Lease will be construed so as to oblige the Landlord to enforce such regulations against other tenants in the Building and the Landlord will not be liable to the Tenant for violation of the regulations by such tenants or their invitees or licensees.

ARTICLE 17
OVERHOLDING

17.1 Overholding

If the Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term and without the execution and delivery of a new lease or without the express consent in writing of the Landlord, the Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises and remove the Tenant therefrom and the Landlord may use such force as it may deem necessary for that purpose without being liable in respect thereof or for any loss or damage occasioned thereby. While the Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term, the tenancy, in the absence of written agreement, will be from month to month only at a rent per month equal to two times the Gross Rent payable in respect of the month immediately preceding expiration of the Term, payable in advance on the 1st day of each month, and the Tenant will be subject to all terms of this Lease, except that the tenancy will be from month to month only and a tenancy from year to year will not be created by implication of law or otherwise.

ARTICLE 18
INSPECTION

18.1 Inspection

OPTION TO RENEW

21.1 Option to Renew

The Landlord covenants and agrees with the Tenant that if the Tenant duly and punctually observes and performs the covenants, agreements and provisos in this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be observed and performed, the Landlord will at the expiration of the Term upon the Tenant’s written request delivered to the Landlord not later than six (6) months and not earlier than eight (8) months prior to the expiration of the Term, grant to the Tenant one renewal lease of the Premises for a term of five (5)years upon all the terms, covenants, agreements and provisos contained in this Lease except:
