The undersigned agrees that the Collateral shall be held by the Bank as a general and continuing collateral security for the payment of all obligations, indebtedness and liabilities, present or future, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or not, of the undersigned to the Bank, wheresoever and howsoever incurred, and any ultimate unpaid balance thereof, and as a first and prior claim upon the Collateral.

 

3. The undersigned covenants at all times to notify the Bank in writing promptly of any change in the information contained herein relating to the undersigned (including the name and location of the chief executive office, sole place of business or residence, as the case may be, of the undersigned aforesaid) and of any material default by any person in payment or other performance of obligations to the undersigned with respect to any of the Collateral.

 

4. So long as this assignment remains in effect, the undersigned covenants not to sell, or further assign or encumber the Collateral without the prior written consent of the Bank. The undersigned represents and warrants that the Collateral is genuine and owned by the undersigned free of all security interests or other encumbrances.

 

5.

7. The Bank may apply the amounts collected or received by it on account of such parts of the indebtedness and liabilities of the undersigned to the Bank as to the Bank seems best or hold the same in a separate collateral account for such time as it may see fit and then apply the same as aforesaid, the whole without prejudice to its claim for any deficiency.

 

8.

10. The Bank may charge on its own behalf and also pay to others reasonable sums for expenses incurred and for services rendered (expressly including legal advices and services) in or in connection with collecting, realizing and/or obtaining payment of the Collateral or any part thereof and may add the amount of such sums to the indebtedness of the undersigned.

13. This agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect, and shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. No remedy for the enforcement of the rights of the Bank hereunder shall be exclusive of or dependent on any other such remedy, but any one or more of such remedies may from time to time be exercised independently or in combination. The security interest created or provided for by this agreement is intended to attach when this agreement is signed by the undersigned and delivered to the Bank. The undersigned acknowledges and confirms that there has been no agreement between the Bank and the undersigned to postpone the time for attachment of the security interest hereby attached.

 

14. Nothing in this assignment contained shall or shall be deemed to restrict the rights and remedies at law or in equity or under any applicable personal property security legislation or otherwise, of the Bank against the undersigned and the Collateral, it being hereby agreed by the undersigned that the Bank has and shall have all such rights and remedies as if the same were herein at length set forth and by this reference the same are incorporated in and form a part hereof.

 

15. Should the undersigned be entitled to a release or discharge or amendment to any financing statement registered by the Bank relating to this assignment, then the undersigned will pay to the Bank all costs, charges, expenses and lawyer’s fees and disbursements (as between a solicitor and his own client on a full indemnity basis) incurred by the Bank in connection with such release, discharge or amendment.

 

16. For greater certainty it is declared that any and all future loans, advances or other value which the Bank may in its discretion make or extend to or for the account of the undersigned shall be secured by this agreement. If more than one person executes this agreement their obligations hereunder shall be joint and several.

 

17. This assignment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Province of Alberta as the same may from time to time be in effect, including, where applicable, the Personal Property Security Act.
