2. Term of Sublease

The Sublease term begins on [[Sublease Start Date]] and ends on [[Sublease End Date]] (the "Sublease Term").

Monthly rent payable by Sublessee to Sublessor: $[[Sublease Monthly Rent Amount]], due on the [[Rent Due Day]] of each month.

Payment method: [[e.g. e-transfer to [[Sublessor Email]] or other agreed]].

The Sublessor remains solely responsible for paying the rent due to the Landlord under the Master Lease in the full amount required by the Master Lease (which may be higher or lower than the Sublease rent).

The Sublessor must comply with all LMR accounting and interest obligations toward the Sublessee independently of the Master Lease deposit (if any).

A copy of the Landlord's written consent (or the signed consent form) is attached as Exhibit B.

The Sublessor and Sublessee acknowledge that:

1. The Landlord's consent to sublet does not release the Sublessor from any liability under the Master Lease.

10. Right of Entry

The Sublessee acknowledges the Landlord's and Sublessor's rights of entry under RTA s. 27 (24 hours' written notice, 8 a.m., 8 p.m., specific reasons). The Sublessor shall provide the Sublessee with any required notices received from the Landlord.

The Sublessor may enter the Premises with the same notice rights as a landlord under the RTA for purposes of showing the Premises to prospective assignees or for inspections related to the Master Lease., -

11. Assignment and Further Subletting Prohibited

The Sublessee shall not assign this Sublease or further sublet the Premises without the prior written consent of both the Sublessor and the Landlord (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

The Sublessor shall provide the Sublessee with a separate accounting letter in the form of an Ontario rent deposit return letter., -
