Until the Secured Party demands payment of the Obligations, the Debtor shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights attached to the Investment Property and give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and receive dividends and distributions in respect of all Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be prejudicial to the interests of the Secured Party or which would have the effect of reducing the value of the Investment Property as security for the Obligations or imposing any restriction on the transferability of any of the Investment Property.  All such rights of the Debtor to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications and receive dividends and other distributions shall cease immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default by the Debtor in the performance of any of the Obligations or upon the security interests granted pursuant to this agreement otherwise becoming enforceable.







The responsibility of the Secured Party in respect of any Investment Property held by the Secured Party shall be limited to exercising the same degree of care which it gives valuable property of the Secured Party at the Secured Party’s office where any Investment Property is held.  The Secured Party shall not be bound under any circumstances to realize upon any Investment Property or allow any Investment Property to be sold, or exercise any option or right attaching thereto, or be responsible for any loss occasioned by any sale of Investment Property or by the retention or other refusal to sell the same; nor shall the Secured Party be obliged to collect or see to the payment of interest or dividends thereon, but all such interest and dividends, if and when received by the Debtor, shall be held in trust for the Secured Party and shall be forthwith paid to the Secured Party.







The Debtor shall, at the request of the Secured Party (in the Secured Party’s sole discretion), (i) enter into and cause any securities intermediary holding a securities account in respect of Investment Property of the Debtor to enter into a securities account control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party (a “Securities Account Control Agreement”) in respect of any Investment Property constituting security entitlements of the Debtor, and (ii) deliver each such Securities Account Control Agreement to the Secured Party.  The Debtor shall cause all securities underlying any security entitlements acquired by the Debtor after the date hereof to be credited to a securities account that is subject to a Securities Account Control Agreement.


 



	
15.  

	
The Debtor hereby agrees that it will at all times, both before and after default, do or cause to be done such additional things and execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such further acts and documents including without limitation any assignments, deeds or control agreements as the Secured Party may reasonably require for the better mortgaging, charging, transferring, assigning, confirming, granting and perfecting of security interests in the present or after-acquired Collateral to the Secured Party.

(f)  

	
if an execution or any other process of any court becomes enforceable against any Borrower or if a distress or analogous process is levied upon the property of any Borrower or any part thereof;

 Remedies of the Secured Party


 



	
17.  

	
Whenever the security granted pursuant to this agreement shall have become enforceable, and so long as it shall remain enforceable, the Secured Party may proceed to realize such security and to enforce its rights by:







 



	
(a)  

	
entry;







 



	
(b)  

	
the appointment by instrument in writing of a Receiver or Receivers of the Collateral or any part thereof (which Receiver or Receivers may be any person or persons, whether an officer or officers or employee or employees of the Secured Party or not and the Secured Party may remove any Receiver or Receivers so appointed and appoint another or others in his or their stead);







 



	
(c)  

	
proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Receiver or Receivers or for sale of the Collateral or any part thereof;  or







 



	
(d)  

	
any other action, suit, remedy or proceeding authorized or permitted hereby or by law or by equity.







 


In addition, the Secured Party may file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claim lodged in any bankruptcy, winding-up or other judicial proceedings relating to the Debtor.


 


Any Receiver appointed by the Secured Party shall be deemed to be agent of the Debtor unless the Secured Party expressly specifies in writing that the Receiver shall be agent of the Secured Party.


 


Any Receiver or Receivers so appointed shall have power to:


 



	
(i)  

	
take possession of and to use the Collateral or any part thereof;







 



	
(ii)

deal with any security entitlements, securities accounts and financial intermediaries holding securities entitlements as if the Secured Party or the Receiver on behalf of the Secured Party were the owner thereof, including instructing a securities intermediary to register the securities accounts of the Debtor in the Secured Party’s name or as it may direct.







 


The Secured Party shall not be responsible for any actions or errors of omission by the Receiver or Receivers in exercising any such powers.  Any Receiver appointed shall act as agent of the Secured Party for the purpose of taking possession of the Collateral, and as agent of such Debtor for all other purposes, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the occupation of the premises of such Debtor and the carrying on of such Debtor’s business.  For the purposes of realizing on any security granted by any Debtor over any of the Collateral, the Receiver shall be deemed to be the agent of such Debtor, or as the agent of the Secured Party, as the Secured Party may determine in its sole discretion.  The Debtor agrees to ratify and confirm all actions of the Receiver acting as agent for the Debtor, and to release and indemnify the Receiver in respect of all such actions.


 


In addition, the Secured Party may enter upon, use, occupy and possess the Collateral or any part thereof, free from all liens, charges, mortgages, security interests and other encumbrances except for Permitted Liens, without hindrance, interruption or denial of the same by the Debtor or by any other person or persons save only a landlord pursuant to its rights of reversion under any lease of real property on expiry of its term, and may lease or sell the whole or any part or parts of the Collateral.  Any sale hereunder may be made by public auction, by public tender or by private contract, with or without notice and with or without advertising and without any other formality (except as required by law), all of which are hereby waived by the Debtor.  Such sale shall be on such terms and conditions as to credit or otherwise and as to upset or reserve bid or price as to the Secured Party in its sole discretion may seem advantageous.  Such sale may take place whether or not the Secured Party has taken possession of the Collateral.


 


The Debtor agrees to pay to the Secured Party forthwith on demand all expenses incurred by the Secured Party in the preparation, perfection, administration and enforcement of this agreement (including, without limitation, expenses incurred in considering and protecting or improving the Secured Party’s position, or attempting to do so, whether before or after default), all amounts borrowed by the Receiver from the Secured Party as hereinbefore provided and all costs, charges, expenses and fees (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the fees and expenses of any Receiver and legal fees on a solicitor and client basis) of or incurred by the Secured Party and by any Receiver or Receivers or agent or agents appointed by the Secured Party in connection with the recovery or enforcing of payment of any moneys owing hereunder, whether by realization, by taking possession or otherwise.  All such sums, together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to the Obligations, shall form part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the security interests granted herein.


 




  





11











  






 


No remedy for the realization of the security interests granted herein or for the enforcement of the rights of the Secured Party 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.


 



	
18.  

	
Any and all payments made in respect of the Obligations from time to time and moneys realized from any securities held therefor (including moneys realized on any enforcement of this agreement) may be applied to such part or parts of the Obligations as the Secured Party may see fit, and the Secured Party shall at all times and from time to time have the right to change any appropriation as the Secured Party may see fit.

In the event of the Secured Party satisfying any such lien, charge, mortgage, security interest or encumbrance, it shall be entitled to all the equities and securities of the person or persons so paid and is hereby authorized to obtain any discharge thereof and hold such discharge without registration for so long as it may deem advisable to do so.
