The Vendor will execute and deliver to the Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after receipt of a written request from the Purchaser, authorizations to Governmental
 
- 7 -


Authorities necessary to permit the Purchaser to obtain information from their files, provided each such authorization expressly states that there shall not be any inspections by a Governmental Authority with respect to the Property and none is authorized or requested and such authorization must otherwise be satisfactory to the Vendor, acting reasonably.  The Purchaser shall not request any Governmental Authority to inspect any of the Property.
 
2.3
Tenant Estoppels
 
If requested by the Purchaser, the Vendor shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain and deliver to the Purchaser at least five (5) days prior to the Due Diligence Date, estoppel certificates ("Tenant Estoppels") from all Tenants (other than from Heritage Fine Clothing Manufacturers Ltd.), which Tenant Estoppels shall be dated no earlier than May 15, 2006.  The failure to obtain such Tenant Estoppels shall not constitute a default on the part of the Vendor nor shall such failure entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or to any other right or remedy whatsoever.  The Vendor shall not be required to spend any monies to obtain such Tenant Estoppels, other than its own costs of preparing and distributing the forms.  The Vendor shall provide the Purchaser with a copy of the Tenant Estoppels, if any, forthwith after they are received.  To the extent Tenant Estoppels shall not be forthcoming from any particular Tenant (other than from Heritage Fine Clothing Manufacturers Ltd.), the Vendor shall deliver a certificate (a "Certificate re: Lease") from a senior officer of the Vendor, without personal liability, certifying that matters which otherwise would have been the subject of the Tenant Estoppel for such Tenant. In the event that, at any time before or after Closing, the Vendor provides the Purchaser with a Tenant Estoppel for any Lease in respect of which the Vendor has given a Certificate re: Lease and such Tenant Estoppel contains information consistent in all material respects with that set out in the Certificate re: Lease in respect of such Lease then the Certificate re: Lease shall cease to be of any force and effect in respect of such Lease; and this provision for substitution survives Closing.
 
2.4
Access to Property
 
(a)           Subject to the Purchaser complying with each of its obligations herein and the rights of the Tenants under the Leases, from and after the Execution Date to and including the Due Diligence Date, the Purchaser and its agents, consultants and employees have had and shall continue to have access to the Property during the Vendor's normal business hours upon reasonable notice to the Vendor, at the Purchaser's sole risk and expense, for the purpose of inspecting the Property, including without limitation performing physical and structural inspections, soil tests and environmental audits.  Such inspections, tests and audits shall be conducted in a manner that minimizes interference with the use of the Property and does not contravene any Leases or unreasonably interfere with any Tenants.  The Purchaser and its agents, consultants and employees shall not have any communications with Tenants or their employees.  The Vendor shall have the right to accompany the Purchaser and its agents, consultants and employees on any inspections and shall have the right, acting reasonably, to approve, or to refuse approval for, invasive or intrusive inspections, tests and audits, if any are proposed by the Purchaser, prior to such inspections, tests and audits being undertaken.  No such inspections,
 
- 8 -


tests or audits shall occur unless the Purchaser has given the Vendor at least one complete Business Day’s prior written notice and complies with the foregoing requirements;
 
(b)           The Purchaser shall repair any damage caused by inspections, tests and audits performed by the Purchaser or its agents, consultants or employees and fully indemnify the Vendor from all costs of repairing any damage caused by such inspections, tests or audits and all Claims relating to any such inspections, tests and audits and from all Claims incurred by the Vendor as a result thereof.  This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement regardless of the cause of such termination.
 
2.5
Purchaser's Investigations
 
(a)           On or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date, the Purchaser shall conduct (subject to compliance with other relevant provisions of this Agreement) all investigations, inspections, reviews, tests and audits relating to the Subject Assets and the Property (including, without limitation, title to the Subject Assets and the Property and compliance with Applicable Laws) and the transactions provided for herein (collectively referred to herein as the "Due Diligence") which the Purchaser deems necessary or desirable.
 
(b)           The Purchaser shall be entitled, on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date, in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine whether it is satisfied with the results of its Due Diligence.  The Purchaser shall be deemed to not be satisfied with the result of its Due Diligence unless it delivers to the Vendor on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date a written notice in the form attached hereto (with the relevant details inserted therein) as Schedule H (the "Satisfaction Notice") stating that it is satisfied with the results of its Due Diligence including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the contents of the Tenant Estoppels.  If the Purchaser fails to give the Vendor a Satisfaction Notice by such time, then this Agreement shall terminate automatically at such time and, upon such termination, the Purchaser and Vendor shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement (except for those obligations which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement) and the Deposit and all interest earned on it shall be returned to the Purchaser.
 
(c)           If the Purchaser does deliver the Satisfaction Notice to the Vendor by such time, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.1), the Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to raise any objection to, or to have or make any Claim regarding, any circumstance, defect, matter or issue in respect of the Subject Assets or the Property, or any other aspect thereof of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, any objection or Claim relating to the Vendor's title to the Subject Assets or any matter relating to title to the Property or the existence of any Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances to be Discharged), as such title and Encumbrances exist on the Due Diligence Date, any non-compliance with Applicable Laws, or any Contract, Encumbrance or other instrument) unless the foregoing first arose or was created after the Due Diligence Date and then only to the extent otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser also agrees that it shall not have the right to seek an abatement to the Purchase Price or any other remedy by virtue of any matters Disclosed to the
 
- 9 -


Purchaser prior to the Due Diligence Date or as a result of any circumstance, defect, matter or issue in respect of the Subject Assets or the Property in respect of the Subject Assets or the Property, or any other aspect thereof of any nature whatsoever, in existence at the Due Diligence Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Closing does take place the foregoing does not derogate from the Purchaser's rights in the event of any breach of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement by the Vendor, except as is otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 2.8.
 
2.6
Confidentiality
 
(a)           The Vendor and Purchaser agree that each party:

shall keep all provisions of this Agreement confidential and shall not disclose any of its provisions to any Person; and
 
                    (ii)
shall keep confidential all Confidential Information and shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person,

(c)           It is agreed that if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, each party shall promptly return, or cause to be returned, to the other party all written Confidential Information in the possession or control of the other party or any other Person to whom Confidential Information has been provided and shall destroy, or cause to be destroyed, any Confidential Information stored in or on any computer memory, disk, tape or other contrivance whatsoever in the possession or control of the other party or any other Person to whom the other party has
 
- 10 -

provided Confidential Information.  On request of a party, the other party shall certify that it has complied with its obligation under this Section.
 
(d)           The provisions of this Section are supplementary to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement and do not in any way derogate from the obligations of the Purchaser pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement.  In the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Section and the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, the latter shall prevail.
 
(e)           The provisions of this Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement, regardless of the cause of such termination.

2.8
Subsequent Deliveries
 
Any documentation or other information provided by the Vendor to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2 may be amended or supplemented by the Vendor as necessary from time to time until the Due Diligence Date.  In addition, if the Vendor becomes aware of a failure to provide any document or other information that it is required to provide in accordance with Section 2.2 at any time prior to the Due Diligence Date, it may advise the Purchaser in writing of such failure and deliver such information to the Purchaser at any time prior to the Due Diligence Date.  If the Purchaser delivers a Satisfaction Notice pursuant to Section 2.5 prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Due Diligence Date, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted for all purposes all matters which have been Disclosed to the Purchaser on or before the Due Diligence Date and if any representation or warranty of the Vendor is incorrect or inaccurate but the Purchaser has received written notice from the Vendor or its Representatives on or before the Due Diligence Date of the instrument, circumstance, action, omission, matter or issue which causes such representation or warranty to be incorrect or inaccurate, then such representation and warranty shall be deemed to have been qualified by reference to such instrument, circumstance, matter or issue.

- 12 -


Vendor's Solicitors of any such notice or other document in good faith (provided that the Vendor's Solicitors shall not be relieved of any liability or responsibility for any loss or damage which may arise if the Vendor's Solicitors release the Deposit to a party hereto after having received prior written notice from the other party hereto claiming entitlement to such Deposit or a dispute to such entitlement).
 
3.2
Method of Payment of Purchase Price
 
On Closing the Purchase Price shall be satisfied as follows:
 
 
(a)
by application of the Deposit and interest earned thereon held by the Vendor's Solicitors;

(c)
by payment to the Vendor, or as the Vendor directs in writing, of an amount (the "Balance") equal to the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3, less the aggregate of the amounts referred to in paragraphs 3.2(a) and (b).  The Balance shall be paid on Closing by the Purchaser by certified cheque or negotiable bank draft of one of the five largest (by asset size) Schedule I Canadian chartered banks.
 
If at any time the Vendor delivers to the Purchaser a direction in writing in respect of the payment of the Balance the Purchaser shall forthwith provide, at the Vendor's request, in favour of any lender to the Vendor and/or affiliates of the Vendor an irrevocable acknowledgement of such direction and an agreement to act in accordance therewith unless otherwise agreed to by such lender.

If the final cost or amount of any item which is to be adjusted cannot be determined at Closing, then an initial adjustment for such item shall be made at Closing, such amount to be estimated by the Vendor, acting reasonably, as of the Closing Date on the basis of the best evidence available at the Closing as to what the final cost or amount of such item will be.  All amounts which have been estimated as at the Closing Date because they have not been finally determined at that date (the "Post Closing Adjustments") shall be finally adjusted on a post-closing basis once they have been determined and finalized.  In each case when a Post Closing Adjustment is determined, the Vendor or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall within 30 days of determination, provide a complete statement thereof, together with particulars relating thereto in reasonable detail, to the other and within 30 days thereafter the parties hereto shall make a final adjustment as of the Closing Date for the Post Closing Adjustment in question.  In the case of any dispute between the parties hereto with respect to any Post Closing Adjustments, the final amount of such Post Closing Adjustments shall be determined by the audit firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP and the cost of such determination shall be shared equally between the parties hereto.  Either party may refer any such dispute to Deloitte & Touche LLP for such determination and such determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.  The Vendor and Purchaser agree to execute and deliver on the Closing Date an undertaking to re-adjust and pay the amount of any Post Closing Adjustments as may be owing pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.  Such undertaking shall include an undertaking by the Vendor to make available its records regarding the calculation of its capital tax and large corporation tax required pursuant to the Leases and all such information as may be necessary to allow the Purchaser and Vendor to proceed to Post-Closing Adjustments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments and Post Closing Adjustments to be made pursuant to this Subsection 3.3(b) shall, in any event, be completed on or before the date which is the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Final Adjustment Date") and no claim for any re-adjustment may be made by either party thereafter, unless such claim is a claim contemplated by the provisions of Section 6.3, in which case such provisions shall apply.  It is agreed that no adjustments shall be made with respect to insurance premiums and that the Purchaser shall not assume or take an assignment of the Vendor's insurance policies.
 
 
(c)
The parties acknowledge that under the terms of Leases and Approved Leases, portions of certain payments, such as realty taxes and operating costs, (including, where recoverable, taxes on capital and large corporation taxes) although paid by the landlord, are charged to and payable by the Tenants under such Leases and Approved Leases (the "Rechargeable Sums") and are collected from such Tenants in monthly instalments on the basis of the landlord's estimates (the "Rechargeable Sum Estimates").  The Rechargeable Sum Estimates are subject
 
- 14 -


 
to adjustment with the Tenants when the total amounts of the Rechargeable Sums are finally determined.  For greater certainty, Rechargeable Sums shall not include any expenditures or any portion thereof which are not recoverable from the Tenants by the terms of the Leases and Approved Leases.  It is agreed that, with respect to the Rechargeable Sums and the Rechargeable Sum Estimates, adjustments shall be made not at Closing but forthwith after the actual amount of the Rechargeable Sums has been ascertained for the relevant fiscal year, calendar year or tax year, as appropriate, for the Property.  Such adjustments shall be made as follows:
 
 
      (i)
the Purchaser shall provide to the Vendor a statement which sets out the amounts collected from each Tenant on account of Rechargeable Sums, as well as the Rechargeable Sums for the relevant fiscal year, calendar year or tax year, as appropriate, for the Property;
 
 
      (ii)
if such statement indicates that the Vendor has collected pursuant to the Rechargeable Sum Estimates more than the Vendor's share (as hereinafter defined) of the Rechargeable Sums for the relevant fiscal year, calendar year or tax year, as appropriate, the amount of such difference shall be paid by the Vendor to the Purchaser within ten Business Days after the amount of such difference has been finally determined pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Subsection 3.3(b) and the Purchaser shall be responsible for, and make, the required adjustments with the Tenants in respect of such over-collection in accordance with the terms of the Leases; the "Vendor's share" of the Rechargeable Sums means the amount obtained by multiplying the Rechargeable Sums by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the relevant fiscal year, calendar year or tax year, prior to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such fiscal, calendar or tax year; and
 
 
      (iii)
if such statement indicates that the Vendor has collected pursuant to the Rechargeable Sum Estimates less than the Vendor's share of the Rechargeable Sums, the amount of such difference shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor within ten Business Days after the amount of such difference has been finally determined pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Subsection 3.3(b) and such amount has been collected from the Tenants and the Purchaser shall be entitled to the amount collected in respect of such difference.
 
It is agreed that the Purchaser shall be responsible to conclude all final reconciliations and to make all payments and satisfy all obligations with all Tenants relating to the Rechargeable Sums and Rechargeable Sum Estimates.
 
 
(d)
The Vendor and the Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that:
 
- 15 -

(A)
any real estate or leasing commissions in respect of the Existing Leases and/or the Approved Leases, and the Vendor shall not have any responsibility therefor nor shall there be any adjustment in favour of the Purchaser in respect thereof; and
 
 
(B)
any tenant inducements, tenant allowances and/or early termination fees payable under the Existing Leases and/or the Approved Leases, and the Vendor shall not have any responsibility therefor nor shall there be any adjustment in favour of the Purchaser in respect thereof;
 
 
(ii)
the Purchaser shall not be entitled to be paid or receive the benefit of any amount payable or owing under the Leases for rent or any other amounts for any period prior to Closing, including without limitation accounts receivable under and pursuant to the Leases as at Closing, and the Purchaser shall use reasonable commercial efforts to collect such amounts following Closing (which amounts shall remain the property of the Vendor after Closing) provided that the Purchaser shall not be obliged to seize for rent, terminate any Lease or bring any action for payment of indebtedness and to the extent the Purchaser does receive any of the aforementioned amounts after Closing, they shall be applied as follows:
 
 
(A)
first, against any rent (including arrears of rent) and other amounts owing to the Purchaser by a Tenant or assumed by the Purchaser hereunder or arising after the Closing Date;
 
 
(B)
second, against any reasonable third party costs (including accounting costs) incurred by the Purchaser in respect of the collection of such arrears in rent; and
 
 
(C)
thereafter, the excess, if any, against the arrears in rent for periods prior to Closing, which the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor within ten (10) Business Days after collection thereof, together with a statement as to the amount of such arrears and the application of the proceeds thereof;
 
 
(iii)
in the event that there are any realty or business tax appeals for the period prior to Closing, the Vendor may, at its option, continue such appeals and shall be entitled to receive any payment resulting therefrom except to the extent that such payment is properly payable to any Tenants; provided that the Vendor shall consult with the Purchaser with respect to, and the Purchaser acting reasonably shall have the right to approve, any final
 
- 16 -


 
settlement or disposition of any such appeal.  Any refund or reassessment for the 2006 calendar year (after deduction of out-of-pocket expenses in conducting any such appeal or reassessment, including any commissions payable to agents or consultants) shall be readjusted as of the Closing Date after the conclusion of any assessment appeal and notwithstanding such readjustment occurs after the Final Adjustment Date.  The Purchaser agrees to co-operate with the Vendor with respect to all such appeals or reassessments and to provide the Vendor with access to any necessary documents or materials required to continue any such appeals or reassessments.  To the extent the Purchaser receives payment of any refund or reassessment for the period prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall hold such refund or reassessment payment in trust for the Vendor and shall endorse (without recourse) in favour of the Vendor and deliver to the Vendor all such payment cheques forthwith upon receipt; provided that in all cases, readjustments with the Tenants as the result of any refunds or reassessments may be effected by the Purchaser prior to the payment of any refund or reassessment to the Vendor or to the Purchaser and the amount otherwise owing to the Vendor in accordance with the foregoing shall be reduced by any amount payable to any Tenants as a result of any such adjustments.
 
 
(e)
The Purchaser shall provide the Vendor and its auditors, during normal business hours at any time and from time to time after Closing upon reasonable prior notice to the Purchaser, access to the books, files and records of the Purchaser relating exclusively to the Subject Assets, for the purpose of calculating or verifying the amount of any Adjustments, Rechargeable Sums and Rechargeable Sum Estimates and dealing with any tax appeals.
 
 
(f)
On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall issue replacement letters of credit and/or security deposits for the letters of credit and/or security deposits with respect to the Property, if any, (all of which shall be Disclosed to the Purchaser at least twenty (20) days prior to the Due Diligence Date) and shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause the Vendor's letters of credit and/or security deposits with respect to the Property to be released and returned to the Vendor.  Provided that to the extent that the Purchaser is unable to cause such letters of credit and/or security deposits to be released and returned to the Vendor, in lieu of issuing the replacement letters of credit and/or security deposits referred to above, the Purchaser shall cause matching letters of credit and/or security deposits to be provided to the Vendor, which matching letters of credit and/or security deposits may be drawn upon by the Vendor if and to the extent that the Vendor's letters of credit and/or security deposits are drawn upon.

(d)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.1, the Vendor shall not be responsible or liable for any misrepresentation, lack of disclosure or incorrect or incomplete disclosure of any nature whatsoever or failure to investigate the Property on the part of any real estate broker or sales agent, or any other purported or acknowledged agent, representative, contractor, consultant or employee of the Vendor or any third party.
 
6.5
Bulk Sales Legislation
 
The Purchaser agrees that it shall not require that the Vendor comply with the provisions of any statutes governing bulk sales or similar legislation applicable to the Transaction.  The Vendor agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Purchaser from and against all Claims which the Purchaser may suffer or incur as a result of or arising out of such non-compliance by the Vendor except those that are attributable to the Purchaser's breach after Closing of its obligations under any Contracts, or other obligations that have been assigned to it, or assumed by it, on Closing pursuant to this Agreement.  This Section 6.5 shall survive Closing.
 
6.6
Third Party Claims
 
(a)           In the case of Claims made by a third party after the Closing (a "Third Party Claim") with respect to which the Claiming Party seeks to make a Claim against the Responding Party as a result of the breach by the Responding Party of any representation, warranty, certification or covenant made by such Responding Party in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Closing Document, the Claiming Party shall give written notice to the Responding Party of any such Third Party Claim forthwith after receiving notice thereof.  If the Claiming Party fails to give such written notice to the Responding Party, such failure shall not preclude the Claiming Party from making such claim against the Responding Party, but its right to indemnification may be reduced to the extent that such delay prejudiced the defence of the Third Party Claim or increased the amount of liability or the cost of the defence.
 
(b)           The Responding Party shall have the right, by written notice to the Claiming Party given not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice referred to in Subsection 6.6(a), to assume the control of the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim.
 
(c)           Upon the assumption of control of any Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by Subsection 6.6(b), the Responding Party shall diligently proceed with the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim at its sole expense, including, if necessary, employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party and, in connection therewith, the Claiming Party shall co-operate fully (but at the expense of the Responding Party with respect to any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Claiming Party) to make available to the Responding Party all pertinent information and
 
- 27 -


 witnesses under the Claiming Party's control, make such assignments and take such other steps as in the opinion of counsel for the Responding Party, acting reasonably, are reasonably necessary to enable the Claiming Party to conduct such defence.  The Claiming Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim at its own expense and no Third Party Claim shall be settled, compromised or otherwise disposed of without the prior written consent of the Claiming Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If the Responding Party elects to assume control of the Third Party Claim as contemplated by Subsection 6.6(b), the Claiming Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of the Third Party Claim unless the Responding Party consents in writing to such payment or unless the Responding Party, subject to the last sentence of Subsection 6.6(d), withdraws from the defence of such Third Party Claim or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Responding Party is entered against the Claiming Party in respect of such Third Party Claim.
 
(d)           If the Responding Party fails to give written notice to the Claiming Party as contemplated by Subsection 6.6(b), the Claiming Party shall be entitled to make such settlement of the Third Party Claim, or otherwise deal therewith, as it deems appropriate, acting reasonably, and such settlement or any other final determination of the claim or demand shall be binding upon the Responding Party.  If the Responding Party fails to defend or, if after commencing or undertaking such defence, fails to prosecute or withdraws from such defence, the Claiming Party shall have the right to undertake the defence or settlement thereof.  If the Claiming Party assumes the defence of any Third Party Claim and proposes to settle it prior to a final judgment thereon or to forego any appeal with respect thereto, then the Claiming Party shall give the Responding Party prompt written notice thereof, and the Responding Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defence of such Third Party Claim.

OPERATION UNTIL CLOSING
 
7.1
Operation Before Closing
 
From the date hereof until Closing, the Vendor shall operate the Property in accordance with its current management practices applicable to the Property.
 
7.2
Damage Before Closing
 
The interest of the Vendor in and to the Property shall be at the risk of the Vendor until Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  If loss or damage to the Property occurs, then:
 
 
(a)
if the cost of repair or restoration, in the opinion of the Vendor's architect or engineer, will exceed an amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price (such damage being referred to herein as "Substantial Damage"), then the Vendor or the Purchaser may by notice to the other party within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of such Substantial Damage, elect to terminate this Agreement in
 
- 28 -


 
which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate, be null and void and of no further force and effect whatsoever, the Purchaser and Vendor shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement (except those which are expressly stated to survive any termination of this Agreement) and the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to the Purchaser; and
 
 
(b)
if such loss or damage is not Substantial Damage, or is Substantial Damage but neither party has elected to exercise the termination right with respect to the Agreement, pursuant to Subsection 7.2(a), then neither party shall have any right to terminate this Agreement by virtue thereof, the Vendor shall pay any insurance deductibles in respect of such loss or damage, the Purchaser shall be entitled to all proceeds of property insurance in respect of such loss or damage (except that portion, if any, required to reimburse the Vendor for repair or restoration work it has done prior to Closing and insurance for loss of income prior to Closing, all of which shall be paid to the Vendor), the parties shall complete the Transaction and the Purchaser shall promptly and diligently repair such damage at its own expense following Closing.
 
If the damage or destruction occurs at such time that there is insufficient time for the Vendor or the Purchaser to make its election hereunder, the Closing Date shall be postponed to a date which is five (5) Business Days after the earlier of the date such election is made or the period for making such election has expired, or if such date is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day thereafter.
 
7.3
Leasing and Contracts
 
(a)           The Vendor shall not enter into any new Lease (other than a Lease for storage space, kiosks or parking space or for a term of more than six months) after the date hereof without the prior approval of the Purchaser (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) provided that the requirement for the approval of the Purchaser shall not apply in the event that the Vendor is bound to enter into the relevant new Lease on specified terms and conditions pursuant to a lease, agreement or offer in existence prior to the date hereof.  The Vendor shall not enter into any new material Contract (unless such Contract is terminable without penalty upon notice of not more than 180 days) after the date hereof without the prior approval of the Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  In the case of each such Lease or Contract where the approval of the Purchaser is required, such approval shall be deemed to have been given if no response is received from the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following written request therefor sent in accordance with the provisions hereof.
 
(b)           At any time after the date hereof, the Vendor shall not voluntarily amend, terminate or accept a surrender of any Lease (other than: (i) the lease, dated the 20th day of August, 1998, between Malamar Developments Limited (a predecessor in interest of the Vendor), as landlord, and Heritage Fine Clothing Manufacturers Ltd., as tenant, in respect of premises, shown outlined in red on Schedule "B-1" to the said lease, located at 770 Lawrence
 
- 29 -


Avenue West, Toronto, Ontario), and or release any Tenant from its liability under its Lease or any Approved Lease (other than the Lease excepted as set out above) or voluntarily materially amend or terminate any material Contract without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  In each such case where the approval of the Purchaser is required, such approval shall be deemed to have been given if no response is received from the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following written request therefor sent in accordance with the provisions hereof.
 
(c)           If any Contracts involving the provision of services to the Property, or other similar Contracts, also apply to any other properties, the Vendor shall be entitled, with the consent of the Purchaser, prior to the Due Diligence Date, to amend each such Contract, or replace it with a new or restated agreement, in order to provide that the Contract, as so amended or replaced (it being agreed that the Contract as so amended or replaced is the Contract for all purposes of this Agreement), shall not apply to any properties other than the Property.  The provisions of Subsection 7.3(b) shall be applicable in respect of any such amendment or replacement of such Contract, if (but only if) such Contract is a material Contract and changes are being made thereto other than for the purpose described above (and all necessary conforming changes) or if the amount payable for such services is not currently allocated to each property covered by such Contract on a discrete basis.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no default by any Person other than the Vendor under any Lease, Permitted Encumbrances or Contract (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy or event of insolvency) or repudiation or termination thereof, or proceeding for relief therefrom, at any time after the Due Diligence Date, and no other change adverse to the Subject Assets or the Property or their value at any time after the Due Diligence Date (it being acknowledged that the Purchaser has a right of termination prior to the Due Diligence Date pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof), other than a change caused by the wrongful act of the Vendor, shall entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or to an abatement of the Purchase Price or any other right or remedy whatsoever, the Purchaser agreeing to accept the risk of the foregoing.  The foregoing does not relieve, however, the Vendor from any consequences of any default by the Vendor under any such Lease, Permitted Encumbrance or Contract where the result of such default would be the breach by the Vendor of any of its representations or warranties or non-satisfaction of the conditions set out in Section 4.2, it being agreed that in the case of any such default, if it has a material adverse effect on the Property, the Purchaser shall be entitled to an adjustment of the Purchase Price by the amount of the diminution in value of the Property caused by such default, if any, but no other remedy.
 
7.4
Assignment of Contracts
 
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an assignment of, or an attempt to assign to the Purchaser, any Contract or Permitted Encumbrance which is (i) not assignable, or (ii) not assignable without the approval or consent of the other party or parties thereto, without first obtaining such approval or consent (collectively "Non-Assignable Rights").  The failure to obtain any such approval or consent, or the fact that a Contract or Permitted Encumbrance is not
 
- 30 -


assignable, shall not entitle the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or to any other right or remedy whatsoever (without prejudice to the right of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement prior to the Due Diligence Date pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.5 if the Purchaser is not satisfied with its Due Diligence).  In connection with such Non-Assignable Rights the Vendor shall, at the request of the Purchaser and in each case at the Purchaser's expense:
 
 
(a)
apply for and use all reasonable efforts to obtain all such consents or approvals, in a form satisfactory to the Purchaser acting reasonably, provided that nothing herein shall require the Vendor to make any payment to any other party to any of the Contracts; and
 
 
(b)
co-operate with the Purchaser in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide the benefits of such Non-Assignable Rights to the Purchaser, including without limitation, holding any such Non-Assignable Rights in trust for the Purchaser or acting as agent for the Purchaser, provided that pursuant to such arrangements the Purchaser fully indemnifies the Vendor for all obligations or liabilities incurred thereunder or in connection therewith.
 
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Section and any other provision of this Agreement, this Section shall prevail.  This provision survives the Closing.
 
7.5
Trade-Marks
 
No trade-marks, trade-names, logos, commercial symbols, business names or other intellectual property rights are conveyed or intended to be conveyed to the Purchaser as part of the Subject Assets.
