The Sublease term is for a twenty (20) year period from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2025. The Subtenant has a right, upon written notice on or before June 30, 2023 and subject to certain other conditions, to extend the term of the Sublease for a successive period of 10 years to June 30, 2035. The annual Basic Rent, Percentage Rent, and Supplemental Rent for the extension Term were negotiated in 2005 and included in the Sublease. These existing provisions are set out in Confidential Attachment 1. The Subtenant, MLSE, wishes to extend the Sublease Term for an additional ten (10) years, with an option to extend for a further ten (10) years. However, it has proposed certain amendments to the Sublease for the extension term including with respect to Basic Rent, Percentage Rent, and Supplemental Rent. MLSE and BPC have entered into a conditional agreement setting out the proposed terms of the extension. Under the Head Lease, the Landlord's consent is required for any amendment to the Sublease. Accordingly, BPC has approached the City and Board requesting consent to the proposed amendments. It has been necessary for the Board, the City, and BPC to revisit the financial and revenue assumptions that were made in 2005, based on the performance of the Toronto Marlies hockey club during the initial term of the Sublease. Accordingly, Exhibition Place and CREM staff recommend that the Board and the City consent to the proposed amendments to the Sublease, as set out in Appendix B and Confidential Attachment 1, provided that BPC agrees to amend the Head Lease to increase the share of Sublease Rent payable to the City and Board, as landlord.
