Tenant shall continue to be bound by all of its obligations pursuant hereto notwithstanding any such further Transfers or any Amendments or Alterations, to the extent of what would have been Tenant’s obligations pursuant hereto had such Amendments or Alterations not been made. If this Lease is renewed or extended by any Transferee pursuant to any option of Tenant, or if any Transferee exercises any option to lease other premises pursuant to any option of Tenant, each Transferor shall be liable for all of the obligations of Tenant resulting from the exercise of either options throughout the Term as renewed or extended. (c) Every Transferee shall be obliged to comply with all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall enforce all of such obligations against each Transferee. Any default of any Transferee shall also constitute a default of Tenant hereunder. - 34 - (d) Tenant agrees that if this Lease is ever disclaimed, repudiated or terminated by or on behalf of a Transferee pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other creditors’ proceeding, including any proceeding under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), or if Landlord terminates this Lease as a result of any act or default of any Transferee, Tenant shall nonetheless remain responsible for fulfilment of all obligations of Tenant hereunder for what would have been the balance of the Term but for such disclaimer, repudiation or termination and shall, upon Landlord’s request, enter into a new lease of the Premises for such balance of the Term and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as in this Lease subject to such amendments hereto to which Tenant had agreed at any time prior to such disclaimer, repudiation or termination, and with the exception that Tenant will accept the Premises in “as is” condition. 14.6 No Advertising of Premises Tenant shall not advertise this Lease or all or any part of the Premises or the business or fixtures or contents therein for sale without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall be not unreasonably withheld subject to the other provisions hereof. 14.7 Mortgage of Lease Tenant shall not assign, sublet, mortgage, charge or otherwise transfer the Premises or this Lease for the purpose of securing any loan or the repayment thereof by Tenant. 14.8 Corporate Tenant/Indemnifier (a) If Tenant or any occupant of the Premises or Indemnifier at any time is a corporation, no: (I) transfer of the issued shares in the capital stock or transfer, issuance or division of any shares of the corporation or of any affiliate of the corporation sufficient to transfer control to others than the then present shareholders of the corporation (collectively called “Sale”); or (II) merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other corporate restructuring or reorganization (collectively called “Reorganization”) shall take place, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. Upon request, Tenant and Indemnifier shall make the corporate books and records of Tenant, Indemnifier and of any affiliate of Tenant and Indemnifier available to Landlord and its representatives for inspection in order to ascertain whether or not there has been any Sale or Reorganization. Tenant acknowledges that, in addition to Landlord’s rights under this Lease and at Law to withhold consent to any Transfer, Landlord may withhold consent to any Sale or Reorganization unless it is shown to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that the financial strength of Tenant or Indemnifier, as the case may be will not be adversely affected by such Sale or Reorganization. (b) This Section shall not apply to a Sale by Tenant if and as long as Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises and is a corporation whose shares are listed and traded on any recognized public stock exchange in Canada or the United States and shall not apply to a Sale by Indemnifier so long as the Indemnifier is a corporation whose shares are listed and traded on any recognized public stock exchange in Canada or the United States. (c) This section, 14.8(a) and (b) shall not apply to a municipal corporation. 14.9 Assignment by Landlord Landlord shall have the right to sell, lease, convey, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of the Shopping Centre or any part thereof and to assign this Lease and any interest of Landlord pursuant to this Lease without any restriction. If Landlord shall sell, lease, convey, mortgage or otherwise dispose of the Shopping Centre or any part thereof or shall assign this Lease and any interest of Landlord pursuant to this Lease, then to the extent that the purchaser or assignee agrees with Landlord to assume the covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder, Landlord shall thereupon and without further agreement be released of all liability pursuant to the terms of this - 35 - Lease. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale, lease, conveyance, mortgage or other disposition and Tenant agrees to attorn to Landlord’s successor in interest. 15.

Tenant shall at any time on notice from Landlord or holder of a Mortgage attorn to and become a tenant of the holder of any of such Mortgages upon the same terms and conditions as set forth herein, and shall execute promptly on request by Landlord any certificates, agreements, instruments of postponement or attornment, or other such instruments or agreements as requested - 36 - from time to time to postpone or subordinate this Lease and all of Tenant’s rights hereunder to any of such Mortgages or to otherwise give full effect to any of the provisions of this Article 15.

If Tenant registers or causes or permits there to be registered against the title to the Shopping Centre any short form or notice of this Lease or other document, Tenant shall forthwith provide to Landlord details of such registration and a duplicate registered copy of the registered document. Any lease or notice or short form of this Lease registered by or at the request of Tenant shall contain an irrevocable power of attorney by Tenant in favour of Landlord, which power of attorney is also hereby irrevocably granted by Tenant to Landlord under the Powers of Attorney Act (Ontario) and which power of attorney shall survive the death or incapacity of Tenant, authorizing Landlord to execute on behalf of and in the name of Tenant such notices, agreements and documents as shall be required or desired by Landlord to expunge or discharge from the register of the title of the land on which the Shopping Centre is located any interest of Tenant therein after the expiry or earlier termination of this Lease, or to give full effect to Landlord’s rights under this Article 15. 16.

(g) a trustee, receiver, receiver-manager, manager, agent or other like person shall be appointed in respect of the assets or business of Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises; (h) Tenant attempts to or does abandon the Premises or remove or dispose of any goods and chattels from the Premises, so that there would not, in the event of such removal or disposal, be sufficient goods of Tenant on the Premises subject to distress to satisfy all arrears of Rent payable under this Lease and all Rent payable hereunder for a further period of at least twelve (12) months, or if the Premises are vacant or unoccupied without the prior written consent of Landlord;

then, without prejudice, and, in addition to any other rights or remedies to which Landlord is entitled hereunder or at law, the then current and the next three (3) months’ Rent shall be forthwith due and payable and Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, all of which are cumulative and not alternative, namely: (i) to terminate this Lease in respect of the whole or any part of the Premises by written notice to Tenant (it being understood that actual possession shall not be required to affect a termination of this Lease and that written notice, alone shall be sufficient); if this Lease is terminated in respect of part of the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to be amended by the appropriate amendments, and proportionate adjustments in respect of Rent and other appropriate adjustments shall be made; (ii) to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant without re-entering the Premises, provided that such termination notice permits Tenant to remain on the Premises as a tenant at will; Tenant agrees that if Landlord serves a notice of termination which, among other things, permits Tenant to remain in possession of the Premises as a tenant at will, this Lease will thereupon be terminated and Tenant shall be a tenant at will; - 38 - (iii) to enter the Premises as agent of Tenant and as such agent to relet them for whatever term (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term) and on whatever terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine and to receive the rent therefore and, as the agent of Tenant, to take possession of any furniture, fixtures, equipment, stock or other property thereon and, upon giving written notice to Tenant, to store the same at the expense and risk of Tenant or to sell or otherwise dispose of the same at public or private sale without further notice, and to make such alterations to the Premises in order to facilitate their reletting as Landlord shall determine, and to apply the net proceeds of the sale of any furniture, fixtures, equipment, stock or other property or from the reletting of the Premises, less all expenses incurred by Landlord in making the Premises ready for reletting and in reletting the Premises, on account of the Rent due and to become due under this Lease and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any deficiency and for all such expenses incurred by Landlord as aforesaid;

(v) to obtain damages from Tenant including, without limitation, if this Lease is terminated by Landlord, all deficiencies between all amounts which would have been payable by Tenant for what would have been the balance of the Term, but for such termination, and all net amounts actually received by Landlord for such period of time; (vi) suspend or cease to supply any utilities, services, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and humidity control to the Premises, all without liability of Landlord for any damages, including indirect or consequential damages, caused thereby; (vii) if this Lease is terminated due to the default of Tenant, or if it is disclaimed, repudiated or terminated in any insolvency proceedings related to Tenant (collectively “Termination”), to obtain payment from Tenant of the value of all tenant inducements which are received by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, the agreement to enter into this Lease or otherwise, including, without limitation, the amount equal to the value of any leasehold improvement allowance, tenant inducement payment, rent free periods, lease takeover, Leasehold Improvements or any other work for Tenant’s benefit completed at Landlord’s cost and moving allowance, which value shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of months from the date of Termination to the date which would have been the natural expiry of this Lease but for such Termination, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of months of the Term as originally agreed upon. - 39 - 16.2 Tenant’s Failure to Conduct Business If Tenant fails to open the whole of the Premises for the conduct of business with the public on the Commencement Date, or vacates the Premises in whole or in part, or fails to continuously and actively conduct its business in the whole of the Premises on such days, during such hours and as otherwise required by Landlord, whether or not any Rent payable under this Lease is in arrears, then Landlord, in addition and without prejudice to any of its other rights under this Lease or at law, shall, at its option, have the right to do any one or more of the following: (a) to collect, in addition to all Rent payable hereunder, an additional payment at a daily rate of Two Hundred ($200.00) Dollars per day for each and every day that Tenant fails to commence or conduct its business on the whole of the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease; such additional payment is a liquidated sum representing the parties’ genuine pre-estimate of the minimum amount of damages which Landlord will have suffered as a result of such breach by Tenant, and is without prejudice to any rights of Landlord to any other or greater sum in damages to which it may be entitled; (b) to obtain an injunction or a mandatory injunction in a court of competent jurisdiction to restrain Tenant from breaching its obligations under this Lease and to compel Tenant to comply with its obligations hereunder, including its obligations to conduct its business in the whole of the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease; Tenant hereby acknowledges that damages would be an inadequate and incomplete remedy and Tenant consents to Landlord obtaining such injunction or mandatory injunction upon establishing by affidavit or other evidence that Tenant has failed to, or that Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that Tenant is about to cease to, operate and conduct its business in the whole of the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease; and (c) to terminate this Lease on further written notice, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of Landlord, including the right to recover the cost of all Landlord’s Work and all Rent payable for what would have been the balance of the Term had the Lease not been terminated. 16.3 Interest and Costs (a) All amounts of Rent shall bear interest from their respective due dates until the actual dates of payment at a rate which shall be three (3%) percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest known as the prime rate of interest charged by Landlord’s bank in Ontario and which serves as the basis on which other interest rates are calculated for Canadian dollar loans in Ontario from time to time (“Prime Rate”). (b) Further, on each occurrence of default in the payment of Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand in addition to the aforesaid interest an administration fee equal to the greater of: (i) Five Hundred ($500.00) Dollars; and (ii) two percent (2%) of the amount of Rent in default. (c) The amounts payable pursuant to subsections 16.3(a) and (b) above shall only become payable upon demand but shall, for clarification, accrue from the respective due dates of the relevant payments, whether demanded or not, to the date of payment. (d) Tenant shall be responsible for and pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand all costs incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable compensation for all time expended by Landlord’s own personnel, legal costs on a substantial indemnity basis, and all other costs of any kind whatsoever, arising from or incurred as a result of any default of Tenant or any enforcement by Landlord of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or any other agreement or obligation of Tenant to Landlord, whether or not related to the Premises including, but not limited to, witness costs (such as transportation, accommodation and the like). - 40 - 16.4 Bankruptcy and Insolvency Tenant hereby waives any right it, or any person on its behalf, may have to disclaim, repudiate or terminate this Lease pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other creditors proceeding, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), and agrees that in the event of any such proceeding Landlord will comprise a separate class for voting purposes. Further, Tenant agrees that the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease shall not be released or discharged or otherwise affected by the bankruptcy, winding up, liquidation, dissolution or insolvency of the partnership constituting Tenant or any partner thereof or by change in the constitution of such partnership. 16.5 Allocation of Payments Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its option to be exercised by written notice to Tenant at any time, and without regard to and notwithstanding any instructions given by or allocations in respect of such amounts made by Tenant apply all sums received by Landlord from Tenant or any other persons in respect of any Rent to any amounts whatsoever payable by Tenant and it is further agreed that any allocation made by Landlord, on its books and records or by written notice to Tenant or otherwise, may subsequently be re-allocated by Landlord as it may determine in its sole discretion. 16.6 Landlord’s Right of Distress (a) For the purposes of Landlord’s right to distrain, Tenant’s trade fixtures shall be treated as chattels notwithstanding their level of affixation to the Premises. (b) Tenant hereby waives and renounces the benefit of any present or future statute taking away or limiting or purporting to limit Landlord’s right of distress and agrees with Landlord that, notwithstanding any such statute, all goods and chattels from time to time on the Premises shall be subject to distress for Rent and the fulfilment of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in the same manner as if such statute had not been passed. (c) Tenant further agrees that distress of all or any goods and chattels may be affected by written notice whether or not Landlord locks or otherwise secures such goods or chattels from Tenant on the Premises or elsewhere. (d) If Landlord effects distress by written notice or any other means, Tenant agrees not to remove or permit to be removed any distrained goods or chattels and not to interfere with the exercise of any right of distress. (e) Tenant agrees that Landlord’s exercise of any right of distress as permitted hereby or at law shall not constitute a trespass or breach of any express or implied term of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for loss or damage to goods or chattels against which distress is levied no matter how caused except to the extent of direct (and not indirect or consequential) damage caused by the gross negligence of Landlord or its employees; but Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by its bailiff or any agent through negligence or otherwise. (f) In exercising any right of distress, Landlord may hold all distrained goods or chattels without limit in time and Tenant waives all rights and remedies in respect thereof. (g) In addition to others entitled to do so, Landlord and its agents and employees shall have the right to purchase any goods or chattels on the Premises distrained by Landlord so long as the price paid by Landlord or its agents or employees is reasonably comparable to that which might reasonably be obtained by sale under distress to an arm’s length third party. 16.7 If any goods or chattels of Tenant shall be removed from the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to follow the same and exert against the same all of its rights as if such goods and chattels had remained on the Premises, such right of Landlord to include, without limitation, the right to follow such goods - 41 - and chattels for thirty (30) days in the same manner as is provided for in the Commercial Tenancies Act (Ontario).Tenant to Inform Landlord Tenant shall keep Landlord fully informed on a current basis of all need of repair, environmental problems or any other matter regarding the Premises which would be relevant to a prudent and cautious owner of such property. This Section 16.7 and any information given to Landlord pursuant hereto is for the information of Landlord only and does not create any obligation on Landlord. 16.8 Remedies to Subsist (a) No waiver of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and no waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder in respect of any default by Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to have occurred or be given as a result of any condoning, excusing, overlooking or delay in acting upon by Landlord in respect of any default by Tenant or by any other act or omission of Landlord including, without limitation, the acceptance of any Rent less than the full amount thereof, the acceptance of any Rent after the occurrence of any default by Tenant, or any verbal or written statements or agreements made by any employee of Landlord other than an agreement in writing duly executed on behalf of Landlord by one of its personnel with ostensible authority to do so. No waiver of any of Tenant’s obligations or any of Landlord’s rights hereunder shall be effective except and only to the extent of any express waiver in writing duly executed on behalf of Landlord by one of its personnel with ostensible authority to do so. The waiver by Landlord of any default of Tenant or of any rights of Landlord in respect of any term, covenant or condition herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default of Tenant or rights of Landlord in respect of such term, covenant or condition. (b) All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease and at law shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise by Landlord of any of its rights pursuant to this Lease or at law shall at all times be without prejudice to any other rights of Landlord, whether or not they are expressly reserved. Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall survive the expiry or earlier termination of this Lease and shall remain in full force and effect until fully complied with. (c) If Landlord assigns this Lease to a mortgagee or holder of other security on the Premises or the Shopping Centre or any part thereof or to any other person whatsoever Landlord shall nonetheless be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available to it pursuant to this Lease and at law without providing evidence of the approval or consent of such mortgagee, holder of other security or other person whatsoever. (d) All Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord without deduction, abatement or set-off whatsoever, except as and to the extent expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and Tenant hereby waives any rights of deduction, abatement or set-off available to it now or at any time in the future, including any right to deduction, abatement or set-off contained in any statute. 16.9 Impossibility of Performance Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, the Landlord shall not be deemed in default with respect to the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease if same shall be due to any strike, lockout, civil commotion, war-like operation, invasion, rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped power, sabotage, governmental regulation or controls, inability to obtain any material, service or financing, through act of God or other cause beyond the control of the Landlord (providing such cause is not due to the wilful act or neglect of the Landlord). Under such circumstances, the rent reserved and covenanted to be paid herein shall not commence until the possession of the Premises is given or the Premises are available for occupancy by the Tenant, and no such failure to give possession as aforesaid shall in any way affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of the Tenant hereunder, nor shall the same be construed in any way to extend the Term of this Lease. If the building in which the Premises are located is not in course of construction, and the Landlord is unable to give possession by reason of the holding over or retention of possession of any tenants or occupants or for any other reason, or if - 42 - repairs, improvements or alterations of the Premises or of the building of which the Premises form a part are not completed, no abatement or diminution of the rent to be paid hereunder shall be allowed to the Tenant nor shall the validity of this Lease be impaired under such circumstances, provided however, that the Tenant shall not be liable to make any payments of Rent until the Landlord is able to give possession of the Premises to the Tenant. 16.10 Tenant’s Licences (a) Tenant shall during the whole of the Term maintain in good standing and in accordance with all Laws all licences and permits of any kind whatever required for the proper conduct by Tenant of its business pursuant to the terms hereof (all of which licences and permits are hereinafter in this Section 16.10 referred to as “Licences”). Landlord shall be entitled to receive copies of all correspondence and notices between Tenant and all relevant licensing authorities and Tenant shall co-operate with Landlord to seek to arrange for copies of all such correspondence and notices from all such authorities to be forwarded to Landlord automatically. (b) If this Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever, including Tenant’s failure to maintain the said Licences in good standing as set out herein, or if Landlord takes possession of the Premises during the Term for any reason whatsoever as permitted by this Lease or by law, including Tenant’s default, then, in any such events, Tenant covenants to and does hereby transfer to Landlord or as Landlord directs in writing all of such Licences subject to the approval of the relevant licensing authorities. For such purposes, Tenant agrees to execute or cause to be executed by the shareholders of Tenant all documents necessary to affect such transfers of Licences. Upon the execution and delivery of this Lease or at any time thereafter as requested by Landlord from time to time, Tenant shall execute and shall cause the shareholders of Tenant to execute such documents as are necessary to affect the prospective transfer of Licences referred to herein, and shall lodge the same in escrow with Landlord, with authority to date and use such documents as may be desired by Landlord in the event of Landlord being entitled to a transfer of the Licences. If Tenant or any of the shareholders of Tenant fail to execute any documents as required pursuant hereto within two (2) days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord shall thereupon be and is hereby appointed attorney for Tenant and the shareholders of Tenant to execute and deliver any and all of such documents in their names and on their behalves, such appointment being made pursuant to the Powers of Attorney Act (Ontario) and shall survive and be exercisable during any subsequent legal incapacity of the party granting such power of attorney. 17. CONTROL OF SHOPPING CENTRE 17.1 Landlord’s Control The Shopping Centre is at all times subject to the exclusive control and management of Landlord. The provisions of this Section 17.1 and any other provisions of this Lease shall not be interpreted so as to impose any liability or obligation whatsoever on Landlord and Landlord shall have only such obligations as are expressly set forth in this Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to (a) police and supervise any or all portions of the Shopping Centre; (b) obstruct, lock up or close off or restrict entry to all or any part of the Shopping Centre for purposes of performing any maintenance, repairs or replacements or for security purposes or to prevent the accrual of any rights to any person or the public or any dedication thereof; (c) grant, modify and terminate any easements or other agreements respecting any use or occupancy, maintenance of or supply of any services to any part of the Shopping Centre; (d) use or permit to be used any part of the Common Facilities for any purpose which shall be in accordance with prudent management practice from time to time, including promotional activities, merchandising, display, entertainment or special features; (e) restrict parking by tenants of the Shopping Centre and their employees to designated parking areas; and (f) impose parking charges for parking on the Common Facilities, and institute a parking validation system whereby tenants of the Shopping Centre may be required to validate the parking tickets of their customers and other visitors. In exercising any of its rights pursuant to this Section 17.1, Landlord shall use reasonable best efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s access to - 43 - and use of the Premises. The Shopping Centre shall be open for access during Business Hours, and at any other time access to premises in the Building shall be subject to compliance with all applicable rules and regulations of Landlord, including without limitation those related to security. In order to perform any maintenance, repairs, alterations or improvements in or relating to any part of the Shopping Centre, Landlord may cause reasonable and temporary obstructions of Common Facilities without thereby constituting or being deemed to constitute an interference with any of Tenant’s rights hereunder or a breach by Landlord of any of its obligations hereunder. 17.2 Alterations of the Shopping Centre (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, at any time and from time to time and either prior to or after the Commencement Date Landlord shall have the right to construct on or remove from the Shopping Centre or adjacent lands such other buildings or extensions of buildings as Landlord may desire. Landlord shall have the right to make any changes in, additions to, deletions from, re-arrangements of or relocations of any part or parts of the Shopping Centre including any of the Common Facilities as Landlord shall consider necessary or desirable (which, or any of which, are referred to in this Section 17.2 as “Changes”). (b) Landlord shall make any such Changes as expeditiously as is reasonably possible in the circumstances and shall interfere as little as is reasonably possible in the circumstances with Tenant’s business operation in the Premises. Tenant shall forthwith, at the request of Landlord, execute such further assurances, releases or documents as may be required by Landlord to give effect to any of Landlord’s rights under this Section 17.2. 17.3 Use of Common Facilities Tenant shall not itself and shall not permit any of its employees, servants, agents, customers or contractors to obstruct any Common Facilities including driveways, laneways, access routes or other portions of the Shopping Centre other than as expressly permitted pursuant hereto or as otherwise expressly permitted by Landlord in writing; if there shall be a breach of this Section 17.4, Landlord shall have the right, at the expense of Tenant, to remove such obstruction, the cost thereof to be paid by Tenant forthwith upon demand, and Landlord shall not be responsible for and is hereby released from any liability for any damage caused to the item creating the obstruction. Landlord shall also be entitled to hold such item as security for the payment of the costs of removing the same and any damage caused by the establishment or removal of such obstruction.
