Act (Ontario) or other applicable law (including public or private sate), and after deducting expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), Bank may apply the proceeds thereof in part or full payment of
any of the Liabilities, whether due or not, in any manner or order Bank elects. In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence and at any time during the continuance or existence of any Event of Default hereunder, Bank may exercise any and all
rights and remedies available to it as a result thereof, whether by agreement, by law, or otherwise.

compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the absence of any Event of Default hereunder, shall not, in any way whatsoever, limit, restrict or otherwise affect or impair Bank’s right or ability to make demand for payment of
any or all Liabilities which may be on a demand basis at the time of such demand, in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion exercised using commercial reasonableness, and the existence of any Event of Default hereunder shall not be the sole reason
or basis for enabling Bank to make demand for payment of all or any part of such Liabilities. 
 9. No forbearance on the part
of the Bank in enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any renewal, extension or rearrangement of any payment or covenant to be made or performed by Company hereunder or any such other Loan
Document, shall constitute a waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement or such Loan Document or of any such right or remedy.

made in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Documents shall survive the borrowing hereunder or thereunder and shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Bank. All statements contained in any certificate or other document delivered to
Bank at any time by or on behalf of Company pursuant hereto shall constitute representations and warranties by Company. 
 12.
This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which taken together constitute one and the same instrument. 
 13. The unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. 

14. Company agrees that it will pay all costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with preparation of this Agreement and any
other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements of counsel for the Bank. 
 15.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Company shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or
otherwise in respect of any of the Liabilities without the prior written consent of Bank. 
 16. COMPANY AND BANK, AFTER
CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT, WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF, OR
