NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:

The parties hereto confirm that the foregoing recitals are true in substance and in fact.

The Term of the Lease and the Storage Term of the Storage Lease are each hereby extended for a further period of five (5) years commencing on the 1st day of July, 2009 and expiring on the 30th day of June, 2014 (‘Extension Term”) on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Lease and the Storage Lease respectively, except as expressly set out herein.

Effective as of the 1^st day of July, 2009 (“Effective Date”), the Lease is amended as follows:

1.1 Premises: That certain office space currently identified as “Suite 2300” in the building known as “160 Elgin”, located in the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario, containing a deemed area of nineteen thousand, nine hundred (19,900) square feet of Gross Rentable Area. The Premises are shown in that approximate location cross-hatched on Schedule “A”.

“1.2 Term: Fifteen (15) years, with an option to renew for an additional five year period,”

“For the period commencing July 1, 2009 up to and including June 30, 2014, an annual Minimum Rent of three hundred sixty-three thousand, one hundred seventy-five Dollars ($363,175.00), calculated at a net annual rate of eighteen dollars and twenty-five cents ($18.25) per square foot of Gross Rentable Area of the Premises, payable in Canadian money on the first day of each month, in equal, consecutive, monthly instalments of thirty thousand, two hundred sixty-four Dollars and Fifty-eight cents ($30,264.58).”

“1.9 Authorized Use: Any legally permitted general office use and training facility (with zoning to permit assembly/school use), including telecom and computer based training, and including providing space to unaffiliated third parties on a daily, non-exclusive basis, for meetings, courses, seminars and lectures, including offering to its staff and clientele complimentary food, snacks and refreshments incidental to such training sessions, meetings, courses, seminars and lectures, provided that Tenant shall at all times maintain supervision and control of the use of the Premises and provided that all uses of the Premises are to be in compliance with all applicable laws and all zoning requirements/restrictions applicable to the Building, and all said uses shall further be subject to: (i) any existing exclusives granted by Landlord to other tenants in the Building of which Tenant has been provided written notice, including, without limitation those set forth in Schedule “I” to this Lease; and (ii) the further limitations set out in Section 2 of Schedule “C” to this Lease”.

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Gross Rentable Area of the Premises is conclusively deemed, for the purpose of calculating Minimum Rent, to be nineteen thousand, nine hundred (19,900) square feet and that during the

Term, as same may be extended or renewed, there shall be no further remeasurement of the Premises as they exist as of October 1, 2008, and no right on the part of the Landlord to increase, and no right on the part of the Tenant to decrease, the Rentable Area of the Premises as they exist as of October 1, 2008 as a result of changes in calculations and measurement of rentable area pursuant to the Building Owners and Managers Association (“BOMA”) International Measurement Standards (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996), or for any other reason.”

The Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant for the purpose of carrying on the Authorized Use set forth in Section 1.9 hereof and for no other purpose. Other than as expressly provided in the Authorized Use, Tenant shall not permit any part of the Premises to be occupied by any Person other than Tenant or a permitted assignee or subtenant and their respective employees.”

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after July 1, 2009, if Landlord is required to construct or supervise Tenant’s leasehold improvements or changes to the existing Premises during the Term, there will be no fees (including but not limited to supervision, security, elevator, etc.) charged to Tenant but Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of all out-of-pocket expenses of Landlord, which shall be payable immediately upon receipt of evidence of such expenses, and which expenses shall form part of and be collectible as Additional Rent.

Further, Landlord agrees that Tenant may engage a space planner of its choice to complete a preliminary space plan of the Premises (plus one revision) at the Tenant’s cost, but which cost Landlord agrees to contribute to, to a maximum of ten cents ($0.10) per square foot of the Rentable Area of the Premises.”

(a) Subject to Section 17.19 of this Lease below (Landlord’s Right to Revoke), Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term of this Lease (together with the Storage Term of the Storage Lease) for one (1) further term of five (5) years (the “Extension Term”). Such extension shall be on the same terms and conditions as contained in this Lease, except that: (i) there shall be no further right to extend after the expiry of the Extension Term; (ii) the Minimum Rent payable for the Premises and the Storage Rent (as defined in the Storage Lease) payable for the Storage Premises shall be such amount as determined pursuant to subsection 17.6(b) below; and (iii) there shall be no tenant’s allowance or rent-free period for the Extension Term and the Premises and the Storage Premises shall be accepted by Tenant in “as is” condition at the commencement of the Extension Term without Landlord being required to perform any work. Such right to extend shall be exercisable by notice to Landlord by not later than nine (9) months prior to the expiry of the original Term hereof, failing which such right shall be null and void and forever extinguished.

(b) The Minimum Rent and Storage Rent for the Extension Term shall be the market rent (“Market Rent”) for the Premises and the Storage Premises, respectively (which for purposes of the definition of Market Rent are collectively referred to as “Premises”). As used herein, “Market Rent” means the annual rental which could reasonably be obtained by Landlord for the Premises from a

willing tenant or willing tenants dealing at arms’ length with Landlord in the market prevailing for a term commencing on the relevant date, having regard to all relevant circumstances including the size and location of the Premises, the facilities afforded, the terms of the lease thereof (including its provisions for Additional Rent), and the improvements therein, and with the assumption that the improvements existing at the time are ideal for Tenant’s use as is, and disregarding any deficiencies in the condition and state of repair of the Premises as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations hereunder in respect of the maintenance and repair of the Premises, and having regard to all economic inducements and rentals currently being obtained for space in the Building (if applicable) and for comparable space in other buildings comparably located. The Market Rent for the Extension Term shall be as agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant or, failing agreement by Landlord and Tenant, by not later than three (3) months prior to the expiry of the Term hereof, the Market Rent shall be established by single arbitration pursuant to the Arbitration Act, Ontario. In the event that the Minimum Rent and the Storage Rent payable during the Extension Term has not been determined prior to the commencement of the Extension Term, then until such determination has been made, Tenant shall pay Minimum Rent and Storage Rent at a rate equal to one hundred and ten (110%) percent of the Minimum Rent and Storage Rent payable during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period. Upon determination of the Minimum Rent and Storage Rent for the relevant Extension Term, either Landlord shall pay to Tenant any excess or Tenant shall pay to Landlord any deficiency in the payments of Minimum Rent and Storage Rent previously made by Tenant.”

Provided the Tenant is not in default under any provisions of this Lease and subject to any pre-existing rights granted or to be granted to Gowlings, Strathy & Henderson (such granting to occur no later than August 31, 1999) or pre-existing rights granted to other tenants under leases existing at September 25, 2008, the Landlord hereby grants to the Tenant a right of first refusal to lease, during the Term or any renewal or extension thereof, any space adjoining the Premises ~~space~~that may become available to be leased (“RFR Premises”), on the terms and conditions of a bona fide offer to lease acceptable to the Landlord received from an arms’ length party (“Offer”). The Landlord agrees to deliver a true copy of any such ~~bona fide offer~~Offer to the Tenant with all reference to the third party tenant (“Offeror”) being removed (“RER Notice”). The Tenant shall have five (5) business days from the date of receipt of the RFR Notice within which to exercise the right of first refusal to lease the ~~adjoining space~~RFR Premises referred to in the RFR Notice (“ROFR”). This ~~right~~ROFR may he exercised by the Tenant’s delivering a notice in writing of its acceptance of the terms of the ~~offer~~ RFR Notice to the Landlord, whereupon a binding agreement to lease ~~such premises~~the RFR Premises shall exist between the Landlord and the Tenant.

If the Tenant does not so exercise this ~~right of first refusal~~ROFR to lease the ~~premises~~ RFR Premises within the time and in the manner as aforesaid, then the RFR Premises ~~premises~~ may thereafter be leased by the Landlord to the ~~person identified in the bona fide offer~~ Offeror and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein or on terms less favourable to the Offeror, but not otherwise, and if the Landlord and the ~~third party~~ Offeror fail to enter into a lease of the RER Premises ~~on the terms of the offer~~ within ninety (90) days of the giving of the RFR Notice ~~notice~~ to the Tenant, the provisions of this section shall apply again and so on from time to time. The Tenant shall not have the right to assign this ~~right of refusal~~ ROFR to lease ~~adjoining space~~ any RFR Premises except in conjunction with a permitted assignment of all its rights under ~~the~~ this Lease.”

(e) It is understood and agreed that Landlord is not responsible for theft of or damage to any Automobile or its equipment or articles left in any Automobile.”

“In addition, Tenant shall, at its own expense, be permitted to install signage in the Premises visible from the elevator lobby of the floor(s) on which the Premises is (are) located, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and Landlord’s sign policy for the Building (which sign policy shall be reasonable and shall not conflict with any other provisions of or infringe upon any other rights of the Tenant pursuant to this Lease and notice of which policy shall be provided to Tenant), and subject to Landlord’s prior written approval of such signage, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed.

Landlord agrees to permit Tenant to maintain its existing non-permanent signage (“Non-Permanent Signage”) in close proximity to the lower bank of elevators of the Building as such Non-Permanent Signage exists on September 25, 2008. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord chooses to install new building standard directional signage (New Building Signage”) in the lobby adjacent to

the lower elevator bank in proximity of the current location of the Non-Permanent Signage, and, acting reasonably but in its sole discretion, decides that such New Building Signage is a reasonable replacement for the function and visibility of the Tenant’s Non-Permanent Signage, then, promptly upon Landlord’s written request, which shall follow operation of the New Building Signage, the Tenant shall remove its Non-Permanent Signage and make good any damage done to the Building by the installation or removal thereof.”
