NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

3.04

If any of the BDC Security or the Lender Security is claimed or found by a trustee in bankruptcy or a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, invalid, unregistered or unperfected, then the foregoing provisions of this Article 3 shall not apply to such security to the extent that such security is so found to be unenforceable, invalid, unregistered or unperfected as against a third party unless the secured party shall be diligently contesting such a claim and has provided the other party with a satisfactory indemnity.

3.05

Each of the parties hereto shall permit any of the other parties hereto and their employees, agents and contractors, access at all reasonable times to any property and assets of the Obligor upon which it has a prior charge or security interest in accordance with the terms hereof and to permit such other party to remove such property and assets from the premises of the Obligor at all reasonable times without interference, provided that such other party shall promptly repair any damage caused to the premises by the removal of any such property or assets.

5.9 Rights Cumulative

All rights and remedies of the Secured Party set out in this agreement shall be cumulative and no right or remedy contained herein is intended to be exclusive but each shall be in addition to every other right or remedy contained herein or in any existing or future security document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. The taking of a judgment or judgments with respect to any of the Secured Obligations of the Debtor shall not operate as a merger of any of the covenants contained in this agreement.

5.10 Care by the Secured Party

The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in the Secured Party’s possession if it takes such action for that purpose as the Debtor requests in writing, but failure of the Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not be deemed to be (or to be evidence of) a failure to exercise reasonable care, unless any such failure to comply constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct, and no failure of the Secured Party to preserve or protect any rights with respect to such Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the preservation of such Collateral not so requested by the Debtor, shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of such Collateral, unless any such failure or act constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

5.11 Standards of Sale

Without prejudice to the ability of the Secured Party to dispose of the Collateral in any manner which is commercially reasonable, the Debtor acknowledges that a disposition of Collateral by the Secured Party which takes place substantially in accordance with the following provisions shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by reason thereof:

(a)

Collateral may be disposed of in whole or in part;

(b)

Collateral may be disposed of by public sale following one advertisement in a newspaper or trade publication having general circulation appropriate to the public sale of such Collateral at least seven days prior to such sale;

(c)

Collateral may be disposed of by private sale after receipt by the Secured Party of not less than three bona fide written offers from arm’s length, unrelated parties;

(d)

the purchaser or lessee of such Collateral may be a customer of the Secured Party, provided that such customer acts at arm’s length with the Secured Party;

(e)

the disposition may be for cash or credit, or part cash and part credit; and

(f)

the Secured Party may establish a reserve bid in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral.

5.12 Securities of the Debtor

The Debtor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Securities that form part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the applicable securities laws or otherwise, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favourable to the seller than if

such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by reason of its being a private sale. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such Securities to register such Securities for public sale under the applicable securities law, or otherwise, even if the issuer would agree to do so.

Blocked Account

Commencing on the Activation Date, Bank shall transfer, prior to the end of each Business Day, all amounts on deposit in the Blocked Accounts to Secured Party’s account or accounts or such other account or accounts with such depositories as Secured Party may from time to time designate in writing (each, a “Collection Account”, and, collectively, the “Collection Accounts”).

4.4

Wire Transfers

Bank shall apply and credit to the applicable Blocked Account all wire transfers directed to that Blocked Account in accordance with Bank’s standard procedures.

4.5

Adverse Claims

In the event that Bank shall receive notice that any third party shall have asserted an adverse claim by legal process against the Disbursement Accounts, Blocked Accounts or any sums on deposit therein, whether such claim shall have arisen by tax lien, execution of judgment, statutory attachment, garnishment, levy, claim of a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, post-bankruptcy petition lender, court appointed receiver, or other judicial or regulatory order or process (each, a “Claim”), the Bank may, in addition to other remedies it possesses under this

Agreement or at law or in equity: (i) suspend disbursements from the Disbursement Accounts or Blocked Accounts without any liability until Bank shall have received an appropriate court order or other assurances reasonably acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion establishing that funds may continue to be disbursed according to instructions then applicable to the Disbursement Accounts or Blocked Accounts, and/or (ii) interplead such funds in the Disbursement Accounts or Blocked Accounts as permitted by applicable law. Bank’s costs, expenses and reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with any such Claim shall be reimbursed to Bank by the Company. Upon request, Bank shall provide a copy of any such notice to the Company or (if the notice referred to in Section 4.1 has been delivered) to Secured Party, and the Company shall promptly provide to the Secured Party a copy of any such notice received by the Company from Bank and Secured Party shall promptly provide to the Company a copy of any such notice received by Secured Party from Bank.

(b)

If a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding were commenced by or against the Company, Bank shall be entitled, without any liability, to refuse to (i) permit withdrawals or transfers from the Blocked Accounts or Disbursement Accounts or (ii) accept or comply with the notice thereafter received by Bank, until Bank shall have received an appropriate court order or other assurances reasonably acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion establishing that (A) continued withdrawals or transfers from the Blocked Accounts or Disbursement Accounts or honoring or following any instruction from the Secured Party are authorized and shall not violate any law, regulation, or order of any court and (B) the Bank shall have received adequate protection for its right to set off against or charge the Blocked Accounts or Disbursement Accounts or otherwise be reimbursed for related expenses or Chargebacks.

SECTION 5

FEES, EXPENSES, CHARGEBACKS AND INDEMNITY

5.2

Company’s Fee Obligations

The Company hereby agrees that it is responsible for all normal and customary fees and expenses established by Bank from time to time for the services provided hereunder (all such amounts, the “fees and expenses”). If any of the fees and expenses are not paid by the Company when due, Bank shall be entitled to automatically debit, by mechanical, electronic or manual means, any of the Disbursement Accounts for such fees and expenses. If there are insufficient funds in the Disbursement Accounts for Bank to recover the fees and expenses, Bank may automatically debit, by mechanical, electronic or manual means, any of the Blocked Accounts in an amount equal to the deficiency of funds in the Disbursement Accounts.

(b)	the amount of any required adjustments due to clerical errors or calculation errors directly related to any Blocked Account or Disbursement Account (“Error Amounts” and, together with Returned Amounts, “Chargebacks”),

and provided, further, that if Bank has transferred to a Collection Account the funds on deposit in a Blocked Account in respect of which Bank is entitled to a Chargeback and the funds in the Blocked Accounts and the Disbursement Accounts are insufficient to cover the amount of the relevant Chargeback, Secured Party shall pay to Bank the amount of the Chargeback not recoverable from the Blocked Accounts or Disbursement Accounts, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a statement signed by Bank confirming the details of such Chargeback and Bank’s entitlement to it under this Section 5.3 in form satisfactory to Secured Party; provided however, Secured Party shall only be required to make any such payment if Bank has made such request for payment in the case of (i) a Returned Amount, within ninety-five (95) days after the date the value represented by the Returned Amount was transferred to a Collection Account or otherwise paid to or to the order of Secured Party, and (ii) an Error Amount, within eighty-five (85) days after the error forming the basis of the Error Amount was made.

5.4

Indemnity

The Company and Secured Party hereby jointly and severally agree to pay, indemnify and hold harmless Bank from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, claim and expense incurred by it with respect to the performance of this Agreement by Bank or any of Bank’s directors, officers, or employees, unless arising from its or their own violation of law, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
