	13.4	The Recipient acknowledges the policy objectives served by the Minister’s agreement to make the Contribution, that the Contribution comes from the public monies,
and that the amount of damages sustained by Her Majesty in an Event of Default is difficult to ascertain and therefore, that it is fair and reasonable that the Minister be entitled to exercise any or all of the remedies, provided for in this
Agreement and to do so in the manner provided for in this Agreement, if an Event of Default occurs.

unless the failure is a result of a Temporary Cessation. The Borrower shall act in good faith in determining its number of employees as at December 31st in each year which number is intended to be generally representative of the Borrower’s number of employees. Any
attempt, in the Lender’s reasonably held opinion, by the Borrower to manipulate or artificially inflate the number of employees by artificial transactions or schemes shall be an Event of Default. 

 

	11.2	The Lender May Waive. The Lender may, at any time, waive any default or Event of Default which may have occurred; provided that, no such waiver shall
extend to, or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect, any subsequent default or Event of Default or the right to remedies resulting therefrom, and that no such waiver shall be, or shall be deemed to constitute, a waiver of such default unless

	11.3	Remedies. Without limiting the rights otherwise possessed by the Lender under this Agreement, the Security Documents or other document or instrument, in
case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement, the Security Documents, any other document or instrument, or the
Applicable Laws) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Security, including, but not limited to all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the PPSA and other Applicable Laws, and the Lender shall be
entitled, without limitation, to exercise any or all of the following rights, which the Borrower hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable: 

  

	 	(a)	the Lender may, immediately, without further notice to the Borrower, terminate its commitment and obligation to make the Loan; 

 

	 	(b)	the Lender shall be relieved of all obligations to make further Disbursements to the Borrower; 

 

	 	(c)	the Borrower shall have no right to earn any further performance incentives referred to in Articles 3 and 4 hereof; and

the Mandatory 

  
 32 

	 	
Prepayment and the corresponding interest and any and all costs and expenses unpaid will immediately become due and payable and the Lender may demand payment of all such obligations and it or its
agent may enforce its rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Security Documents or otherwise provided by the Applicable Laws, at any time. 

 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter while an Event of Default is continuing, the Lender, by notice to the Borrower, shall specify the date or dates in such notice
(whereupon the same shall become due and payable on such date together with accrued Interest thereon and any other sums then owed by the Borrower hereunder or under the Security Documents and under the provisions of Section 11.6 hereof shall
apply) or withdraw its declaration with effect from such date as it may specify in such notice.

	 	(b)	Section 2.5 hereof, the Lender shall only avail itself to the remedy provided for under Section 4.2 hereof.

received from or owing to the Borrower or the proceeds arising from the enforcement of the Security Documents in its discretion as it may see fit and the Borrower may not require any different appropriation. The taking of a judgment or any other
action or dealing whatsoever by the Lender in respect of the Security shall not operate as a merger of any of the Borrower’s obligations or in any way affect or prejudice the rights, remedies and powers which the Lender may have, and the
foreclosure, surrender, cancellation or any other dealing with any security or the Borrower’s obligations shall not release or affect the liability of the Borrower in respect of the remaining portion of the Borrower’s obligations.

  

	11.6	Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of the Lender provided for in this Agreement and the Security Documents, or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise by the Lender of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or
the Security Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Lender of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part
of the Lender to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. Unless otherwise required by this Agreement or the Security Documents, no demand, presentment, protest advertisement or notice of any kind to or on the
Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Lender or to any other or further action in any circumstances without demand
or notice. 

  
 33 

	11.7	Interest after Default. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that interest at the Interest Rate shall apply, from the date of the notice to the Borrower,
to any and all amounts in the event that that the Lender exercises any of its remedies pursuant to Sections 11.3 and 11.4 hereof until payment in full, during the course of any and all proceedings to collect such amounts, and such Interest Rate
shall apply to and be exigible as additional damages in any award of damages made by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to any such action, all without the necessity of any further act or agreement or notification to the Borrower.

  

	11.8	Costs and Expenses. Without limiting the Borrower’s obligations under Article 12 hereof, the Borrower will, upon demand, pay to the Lender the
amounts of all costs and expenses including, but not limited to, all legal and professional advisor fees and expenses (whether incurred without litigation or in connection with litigation at any level), which the Lender may incur in connection with
the preparation or enforcement of this Agreement, the Security Documents or the enforcement of the security interest granted pursuant to the Security Documents. 

 ARTICLE 12 – INDEMNITY 
  

	12.1	Indemnity. The Borrower shall (a) indemnify and hold harmless the Lender and each of its employees, advisors, agents, successors, assigns and

 The term “Job” is defined in the Agreement. 
 To complete the chart under the heading
“Cumulative Job Target Status”, please specify first the current employment at the Project Facility. Then, please identify the number of anticipated Project related Jobs. This should be divided between the current number of Jobs at the
Project Facility, which are the “Retained Jobs”, and the number of Jobs created, which are the “New Jobs”. 
 Please list
the balance of the current employees at the Project Facility as “Other Jobs at Project Facility”. Please list these job numbers in the columns for each of the 5 years. (e.g., show 10 new jobs as follows: 10 (Yr1) + 10 (Yr2) + 10 (Yr3) + 10
(Yr4) + 10 (Yr5) = Cumulative Job Target of 50). Add each year for the “Total Jobs” and across to calculate the “5-year Cumulative Job Target”.

	 	(xi)	Fixtures. All structures, fixtures, accessions, hereditaments and appurtenances on or relating to all real and immovable property, wherever situate; and

  

	 	(xii)	Proceeds. All personal property in any form derived directly or indirectly from any dealing with the Collateral or the proceeds therefrom, including, without
limitation, insurance proceeds and any other payment representing indemnity or compensation for loss of or damage thereto or the proceeds therefrom (“Proceeds”). 

 

	 	(b)	Without limiting the generality of the description of Collateral as set out in this Section 3, and for greater certainty, 

 

	 	(i)	the Collateral shall include all present and future personal property of the Borrower located on or about or in transit to or from the locations listed in the
Perfection Certificate; and 

  

	 	(ii)	all interest, dividends, distributions and other amounts and property payable or distributable in respect of the Securities, including, without limitation,

  

	 	(A)	all cash dividends and distributions; 

  

	 	(B)	all stock, instruments or other securities or property paid or distributed by way of dividend or otherwise in respect of the Securities; all stock, instruments or other
securities or property (including, without limitation, cash) paid or distributed in respect of the Securities by way of stock-split, spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar rearrangement; all stock, instruments or
other securities or property (including, without limitation, cash) which may be paid in respect of the Securities by reason of any consolidation, merger, exchange of stock, conveyance of assets, liquidation or similar corporate reorganization; and

  

	 	(C)	all liquidating and extraordinary dividends and distributions 

 shall be deposited in or credited to a Pledged Account, or shall be paid or delivered directly to the Lender or its designee, and shall be retained as part of the Collateral. All dividends, distributions
or other payments which are received by the Borrower contrary to the provisions of this Section shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Borrower and shall be forthwith paid
over to the Lender as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). 

  
 4 

 4. Attachment. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) value has been given;
(b) the Borrower has rights in the Collateral; and (c) the Security Interest shall attach to existing Collateral upon execution of this Agreement by the Borrower and to each item of after-acquired Collateral at the time that the Borrower
acquires any rights therein. 
 5. Dealings with the Collateral.  

 

	 	(a)	With respect to the Inventory and Accounts, until and unless the Security Interest becomes enforceable, the Borrower may sell its Inventory and collect its Accounts in
the ordinary course of its business; provided that, after the Security Interest becomes enforceable, all Accounts collected by the Borrower shall be immediately remitted to the Lender. Until remitted, all Accounts received by the Borrower shall be
held by the Borrower as agent and in trust for the Lender. 

  

	 	(b)	With respect to the Securities, until and unless the Security Interest becomes enforceable, the Borrower or any investment manager shall be entitled to exercise all
voting rights attaching to any and all Securities, owned by the Borrower, and (subject to the terms of the relevant securities control agreement) to give consents, waivers or ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or
any consent, waiver or ratification given or any action taken which would violate, result in breach of any covenant contained in, or be inconsistent with, any of the terms of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement, any securities control agreement or
any other document delivered thereunder or hereunder, or which would have the effect of impairing the value of the Collateral or any part thereof or the position or interests of the Lender therein. All such rights of the Borrower or any investment
manager to vote and to give consents, waivers and ratifications shall immediately cease (i) if the Securities Interest becomes enforceable; or (ii) upon the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, defined below, under the securities
control agreement relating to such Securities. 

 6. Procedures Regarding Collateral; Securities Control Agreements;
Subsequently Acquired Securities; Deposit Accounts; Account Statements and Transaction Confirmations; Securities Transfer Act, 2006 (Ontario), etc. 

 

	 	(a)	To the extent that the Borrower at any time or from time to time owns, acquires or obtains any right, title or interest in any Securities, such Securities shall
automatically (and without the taking of any action by the Borrower) be pledged pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	The Borrower shall promptly take all actions required to perfect the security interest of the Lender under the Applicable Laws (including, in any event, the
Securities Transfer Act, 2006 (Ontario)), including all actions specified by the Lender as necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing. 

  

	 	(c)	In addition to the foregoing actions, the Borrower shall (to the extent provided below) take the following actions (as promptly as practicable):

  

	 	(i)	 with respect to a certificated security or instrument (other than a certificated security or instrument credited to the Lender on the books of a
clearing agency or credited to a Pledged Securities Account) constituting part of the Collateral, the 

  
 5 

	 	
Borrower shall physically deliver such certificated security or instrument to the Lender, or to a bailee or custodian for the Lender designated by the Lender, duly endorsed to the Lender or
endorsed in blank (and, to the extent applicable, accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed in blank by the Borrower and otherwise in proper form for good delivery); 

 

	 	(ii)	with respect to an uncertificated security or other financial asset constituting part of the Collateral (other than an uncertificated security credited on the books of
a clearing agency), the Borrower shall cause the issuer of such uncertificated security and any securities intermediary for a Pledged Securities Account to duly authorize, execute and deliver to the Lender a securities control agreement, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Lender, pursuant to which such issuer shall agree to comply with any and all instructions originated by the Lender without further consent by the registered owner and (except to the extent expressly permitted in such
securities control agreement) not to comply with instructions regarding such uncertificated security originated by any other person other than a court of competent jurisdiction and otherwise in proper form to cause the Lender to have control of such
uncertificated security; 

  

	 	(iii)	with respect to a certificated security or uncertificated security credited on the books of a clearing agency (including, the Canadian Depository for Securities) and
constituting part of the Collateral, the Borrower shall promptly take all actions required (A) to comply with the applicable rules of such clearing agency; and (B) to preserve, protect and perfect the security interest of the Lender under
the Applicable Laws (including, in any event, the Securities Transfer Act, 2006 (Ontario)). The Borrower further agrees to take such actions as the Lender deems necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing; and 

 

	 	(iv)	with respect to any other Securities of the Borrower as to which the Lender may obtain control, the Borrower shall, if so requested by the Lender, take all actions as
specified from time to time by the Lender so that control of such Collateral is obtained and held by the Lender, including, if so requested by the Lender, (A) executing and delivering, and causing any securities intermediary which maintains a
Pledged Securities Account or Pledged Commodity Account or any other securities account or commodity account to which any such Securities is credited to execute and deliver to the Lender a securities control agreement satisfactory in form and
substance to the Lender; and (B) executing and delivering, and causing any depository bank which maintains a Pledged Deposit Account for the Borrower to execute and deliver, to the Lender a securities control agreement, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Lender, in each case granting to the Lender such control. 

  

	 	(d)	The Borrower hereby irrevocably instructs each securities intermediary and each depository bank, and authorizes the Lender (as attorney in fact for the Borrower or
otherwise) to instruct each securities intermediary and each depository bank to execute and deliver a securities control agreement with respect to any Pledged Account maintained with such securities intermediary or depository bank, such securities
control agreement and any related document (including any document evidencing the Borrower’s consent or agreement to the matters addressed in such securities control agreement) to be satisfactory in form and substance to the Lender in its sole
discretion. 

  
 6 

	 	(e)	Unless and until a securities intermediary or a depository bank receives from the Lender a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below) with respect to a Pledged
Account, the Borrower may operate the relevant Pledged Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable securities control agreement, and any account-opening agreement or other document at any time executed by (or delivered by
or to) the Borrower in connection with the opening, maintenance or operation of such Pledged Account; provided that, the Borrower may not withdraw or transfer any Securities from such Pledged Account which is a Pledged Securities Account or a
Pledged Commodity Account except to effect a sale or liquidation of Securities held therein in such manner that the proceeds of such sale, exchange or liquidation are credited to such Pledged Account or used to purchase securities or other financial
assets that are credited to the securities account. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any other document, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
deliver to any or every securities intermediary a written notice (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”) to the effect that Borrower shall thereafter have no right (and the Lender alone shall have the right) to trade, or in any manner withdraw
or transfer, any or all of the deposits, securities, credit balances or other financial assets credited to any Pledged Account and that each such securities intermediary will only act on the instructions it receives from the Lender in connection
therewith. 

  

	 	(f)	The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender and any officer or agent of the Lender, with full power of substitution, as attorney-in-fact for the Borrower or
otherwise, to cause any issuer of any Securities constituting Collateral and represented by a security certificate or the issuer of any uncertificated security constituting Collateral, in any case in which such Security is registered on the books of
such issuer (or its transfer agent) in the name of the Borrower, to reregister such Securities in the name or nominee name of the Lender or, in the case of any such uncertificated security, to execute and deliver a securities control agreement in
favour of the Lender in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender. 

  

	 	(g)	The Borrower hereby agrees that the Lender may require any securities intermediary and depository bank to forward duplicate copies of all monthly statements of account,
notices and transaction confirmations for any Pledged Account to the Lender. 

  

	 	(h)	Nothing herein shall waive the obligation of the Borrower to ensure that the Collateral is maintained in a Pledged Account or otherwise under the control of the Lender,
and has the minimum value required pursuant to this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and any other document(s) delivered hereunder or thereunder. 

  

	 	(i)	The Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all fees and commissions in connection with the maintenance of the Securities by any securities intermediary or
depository bank and/or any custodian or sub-custodian and any trading permitted hereunder. 

  
 7 

	 	(j)	The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the actions of any securities intermediary or depository bank with respect to any Pledged Account will be governed by the
terms of the securities control agreement for such Pledged Account to the extent inconsistent with the terms of any agreement establishing such Pledged Account. 

 

	 	(k)	If the Borrower shall acquire (by purchase, stock dividend or otherwise) any additional Securities forming the Collateral at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof, such Collateral shall automatically (and without any further action being required to be taken) be subject to the pledge and Security Interests created pursuant to Section 3 hereof and, furthermore, the Borrower will promptly
thereafter take (or cause to be taken) all action with respect to such Collateral in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof, and will promptly thereafter (i) deliver to the Lender a certificate executed by the
Borrower describing such Collateral and certifying that the same has been duly pledged in favour of the Lender hereunder; and (ii) provide any and all information to cause the Lender to have complete and accurate information about such
Collateral at such time provided that (unless requested by the Lender) the foregoing actions shall not be required to be taken with respect to changes in Securities, other financial assets and commodity contracts credited to a Pledged Securities
Account or a Pledged Commodity Account. 

  

	 	(l)	At any time and at the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, the Lender may “block” any or all of the Pledged Deposit Account so as to prevent the
withdrawal or transfer of any amount (including interest) therefrom by the Borrower or by any other person or entity except the Lender. If the Securities Interest is not enforceable, the Lender may, at each maturity date of any term deposit
constituting part of the Collateral, extend the maturity date of such term deposit (or renew such term deposit) for such period as is provided in the account-opening agreement or other agreement between the Borrower and the Depository Bank governing
the maintenance of such term deposit, and any such extension or renewal shall likewise constitute a Pledged Deposit Account hereunder. 

  

	 	(m)	 If at any time when the Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Collateral consisting of the Securities pursuant to
an Event of Default, and such Securities or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively qualified for distribution pursuant to a receipted prospectus under applicable securities legislation (“Qualified for
Distribution”) , as then in effect, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell such Securities or part thereof, in accordance with the Securities Act (Ontario) or any applicable securities legislation, in such manner and
under such circumstances as the Lender may deem necessary or advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without the securities being Qualified for Distribution. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the
Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) proceed to make such sale notwithstanding that a prospectus shall have been filed under the Securities Act (Ontario) or any applicable securities legislation for the purpose of
qualifying such Securities or part thereof under the Securities Act (Ontario) or any applicable securities legislation; (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale; and (iii) may restrict
such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Securities or part thereof. In the event of any such sale, the
Lender shall incur no 

  
 8 

	 	
responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Securities at a price which the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the
circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until the securities were Qualified for Distributions as aforesaid. 

 

	 	(n)	Notwithstanding any of the provisions set forth in Section 6(a) to (m), the Borrower shall not be required to take any steps to perfect the security interest of
the Lender (for clarity, a Personal Property Security Act (Ontario) registration has already been filed by Ontario), deliver any share certificates or control agreements, or otherwise take any action required by Sections 6(a) to (m) in
respect of any Securities until such time as the Lender obtains a first-ranking security interest over such Securities. Upon the Lender obtaining a first-ranking security interest over such Securities, the Borrower covenants and agrees to take, at
its expense, all reasonable and necessary action under Sections 6(a) to (m) to give effect to the provisions thereto. 

7. Notification to Account Debtors. The Lender may, after the Security Interest becomes enforceable, notify any person obligated to the
Borrower in respect of an Account, Chattel Paper or an Instrument to make payment to the Lender of all such present and future amounts due thereon. 
 8. Exception Regarding Leasehold Interests and Contractual Rights. The last day of the term of any lease, sublease or agreement therefor is specifically excepted from the Security
Interest, but the Borrower agrees to stand possessed of such last day in trust for any person acquiring such interest of the Borrower. To the extent that the creation of the Security Interest would constitute a breach or cause the acceleration of
any agreement, right, licence or permit to which the Borrower is a party, the Security Interest shall not attach thereto, but the Borrower shall hold its interest therein in trust for the Lender, and the Security Interest shall attach to such
agreement, right, license or permit forthwith upon obtaining the consent of the other party thereto. 
 9. Duties of the Lender.
It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Lender with respect to the Collateral, interests therein and the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in the PPSA and this
Agreement. In particular, beyond the use of reasonable care of any Collateral in the custody of the Lender, the Lender shall not have any duty as to the Collateral, as to any Income and Proceeds therefrom, or as to the preservation of rights against
prior parties or of any other rights pertaining thereto. The exercise by the Lender of the same degree of care toward the Collateral in its custody, if any, as it exercises toward its own similar property shall constitute reasonable care of such
Collateral and the Lender shall not be held to a higher standard of care under this Agreement. 
 10. Representations and
Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants for so long as the Obligations remain outstanding that the following representations and warranties shall remain true and correct at all times:

  

	 	(a)	this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable
against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights
and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); 

  
 9 

	 	(b)	except to the extent already obtained or made, no consent of any Person (including, without limitation, any shareholder, partner, member or creditor of the Borrower)
and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental authority is required to be obtained by the Borrower in connection with (i) the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement; (ii) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any security interest granted to the Lender hereunder; (iii) the perfection or priority of the Lender’s Security Interest
in the Collateral; or (iv) except for compliance with or as may be required by the Applicable Laws, the exercise by the Lender of any of its rights or remedies provided herein; 

 

	 	(c)	the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not (i) violate any provision of any Applicable Laws or regulation or of any order, judgment, writ,
award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, applicable to the Borrower, or (if the Borrower is an Organization, as defined below) of the organizational documents of the Borrower or of any securities
issued by the Borrower, or of any contract, agreement, instrument or undertaking to which the Borrower is a party or which purports to be binding upon the Borrower or any of its assets; or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of (or the
obligation to create or impose) any lien or encumbrance on any of the assets of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries except for the Security Interest and Permitted Encumbrances. In this Agreement, the term “Organization” means a
corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, trust or any other entity except a natural person; 

  

	 	(d)	the Borrower is the owner of, and has good and valid title to, all Collateral and has sufficient interest in all Collateral in which a Security Interest is purported to
be created hereunder for such Security Interest to attach and be enforceable (subject, in each case, to no lien, option, adverse claim or other encumbrance whatsoever, except for the Security Interest created by this Agreement and Permitted
Encumbrances, as set forth in Annex 1, attached hereto), and no Person other than the Borrower (to the limited extent permitted herein) or the Lender has an interest in the Collateral; 

 

	 	(e)	the Borrower has full capacity, power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to grant to the Lender a Security Interest in all
the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof; 

  

	 	(f)	all Securities constituting the Collateral have been duly and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are not subject to options to purchase or other
similar rights; 

  

	 	(g)	all properties constituting the Collateral are fully paid; 

  

	 	(h)	this Agreement is effective to create in favour of the Lender a valid and perfected second priority Security Interest in all Collateral, subject to the Permitted
Encumbrances (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and the Lender is entitled to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the PPSA or other relevant law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfected Security Interests in respect of
such Collateral; 

  

	 	(i)	 the Borrower has taken such actions, and has executed and delivered any such further agreements, documents or instruments, as may be determined by the
Lender to be 

  
 10 

	 	
necessary or desirable to perfect its Security Interest in the Collateral with a second priority, including, without limitation, as a result of any amendments to the PPSA, the Securities
Transfer Act, 2006 (Ontario), or any other Applicable Laws relating to the Lender’s Security Interest in the Collateral. 

  

	 	(j)	each Collateral was acquired with funds lawfully obtained and is being used for lawful purposes; 

 

	 	(k)	the Borrower is (and after giving effect to the pledge of the Collateral hereunder will remain) solvent, adequately capitalized, and able to pay its debts generally as
they become due; 

  

	 	(l)	the chief executive office of the Borrower is located at the address of the Borrower set out in the Perfection Certificate; 

 

	 	(m)	the Collateral is located at the location set out in the Perfection Certificate; and 

 

	 	(n)	the Collateral does not include any goods which are used or acquired by the Borrower primarily for personal, family or household purposes. 

11. Covenants of the Borrower. The Borrower covenants and agrees in favour of the Lender as follows: 

 

	 	(a)	to keep the Collateral free and clear of all taxes, assessments, liens, mortgages, charges, claims, encumbrances and security interests whatsoever, except for the
Security Interest and Permitted Encumbrances; 

  

	 	(b)	not to sell, exchange, transfer, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of or deal in any way with the Collateral or any interest therein, or enter into any agreement or
undertaking to do so, except as may be permitted in this Agreement or the Loan Agreement; 

  

	 	(c)	to keep the Collateral in good condition and to keep the Collateral located at the places warranted herein; 

 

	 	(d)	to promptly notify the Lender of any loss or damage to the Collateral and of any change in any information provided by the Borrower in this Agreement;

  

	 	(e)	not to breach or violate any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the Security Documents; and

  

	 	(f)	to do, make, execute and deliver such further and other assignments, transfers, deeds, agreements and other documents as may be required by the Lender to establish in
favour of the Lender the Security Interest intended to be created hereby and to accomplish the intention of this Agreement. 

12. Enforcement. The Security Interest shall become enforceable immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. 

  
 11 

 13. Remedies. 
  

	 	(a)	Without limiting the rights otherwise possessed by the Lender under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Security Documents or any other document or instrument, in
case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement, by the Loan Agreement, by the Security Documents or by any other
document or instrument or by the Applicable Laws) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the PPSA and other
Applicable Laws, and the Lender shall be entitled, without limitation, to exercise any or all of the following rights, which the Borrower hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable: 

 

	 	(i)	entry of any premises where the Collateral may be located; 

  

	 	(ii)	possession of the Collateral by any method permitted by the Applicable Laws; 

 

	 	(iii)	the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral; 

  

	 	(iv)	to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral and to otherwise collect and realized upon the Collateral or any part thereof including, without limitation,
rents, income and profits received in connection with the business of the Borrower or the Collateral; 

  

	 	(v)	the collection, realization, sale or other dealing with the Collateral; 

  

	 	(vi)	to exert sole and exclusive control over the Collateral as though it were the absolute owner thereof and to transfer or take possession of all or any part of the
Collateral into the Lender’s name or the name of its agent or nominee and do all such acts as it considers advisable for the purpose of being able to realize upon and otherwise deal with the Collateral; 

 

	 	(vii)	the appointment by instrument in writing of a receiver or a receiver and manager (each of which is herein called a “Receiver”) of the Collateral;

  

	 	(viii)	the exercise by the Lender of any of the powers set out in Section 16 hereof, without the appointment of a Receiver; and 

 

	 	(ix)	with respect to the Securities, 

  

	 	(A)	to vote all or any part of the Securities (whether or not transferred into the name of the Lender) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the
Securities and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the absolute owner thereof (the Borrower hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Lender the proxy and attorney-in-fact of the Borrower, with full power of substitution,
to do so); 

  

	 	(B)	 exercise all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, entitlements, and options pertaining to any of the
Securities as though it were the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange in its discretion any and all of the Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or the readjustment of any

  
 12 

	 	
issuer of any of the Securities or upon the exercise by any issuer of the Securities or the Lender of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Securities, and in connection
therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for
property actually received by the Lender; and 

  

	 	(C)	at any time or from time to time to sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Securities, or
any interest therein, in one or more parcels, at any public or private sale, or on any exchange or broker’s board or at any of the Lender’s offices, without demand of performance, advertisement or notice of intention to sell or of the time
or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to redeem or otherwise (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by the Applicable Laws), for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery
without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or prices and on such terms and conditions as the Lender in its absolute discretion may determine; provided that, to the extent notice of such sale is required to be given by the Applicable
Laws (any such notice being hereby waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by the Applicable Laws), at least five (5) days’ notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to the Borrower. The Lender shall not
be obligated to make such sale of the Securities regardless of whether any such notice of sale has theretofore been given. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property so sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the
Borrower, and the Borrower hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Securities, whether before or after sale hereunder, all rights, if any, to require marshalling the
Securities and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise, and all rights, if any, of stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. At any such
sale, public or private, unless prohibited by the Applicable Laws, the Lender may bid for and purchase (by bidding in Obligations or otherwise) all or any part of the Securities so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption;

  

	 	(x)	proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver or a receiver and manager or for the sale of the Collateral; and

  

	 	(xi)	the filing of proofs of claim and other documents in order to have the claims of the Lender lodged in any bankruptcy, winding-up or other judicial proceeding relating
to the Borrower. 

  

	 	(b)	 The Lender is authorized, in connection with any offer, sale or lease of any of the Collateral, to comply with any limitation or restriction as it may
be advised by its legal counsel or other advisors as is necessary to comply with the Applicable Laws. The Borrower agrees that compliance with any such limitation or restriction will not result in

  
 13 

	 	
a sale or lease being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, and the Lender will not be liable or accountable to the Borrower for any discount allowed by
reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. 

  

	 	(c)	Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Lender hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt
of the Lender or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase
money paid over to the Lender or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof. 

  

	 	(d)	The Lender shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor shall the Lender be under any
obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. 

  

	 	(e)	The Lender may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral as a whole or in separate parcels by public auction or private tender or by private contract with or
without notice and with or without advertising and without any other formality, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower and any such sale, lease or disposition shall be on such terms and conditions as to credit, as to upset or
reserve bid or price and otherwise as the Lender may consider commercially reasonable. In the event that any disposition is made on credit or part cash and part credit, the Lender need only credit the actual cash received at the time of disposition
against the Obligations and any payments made pursuant to any credit granted at the time of the disposition shall be credited against the Obligations as and when received. The Lender may rescind, terminate or vary any contract for the sale, lease or
disposition of any Collateral and may resell, relet or otherwise redispose of the Collateral without being accountable or otherwise liable for any loss occasioned thereby. Any sale, lease or other disposition of any Collateral may be made by the
Lender whether or not it has taken possession of the Collateral. 

 14. Remedies, Etc., Cumulative. Each right,
power and remedy of the Lender provided for in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the Security Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other
such right, power or remedy. The exercise by the Lender of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the Security Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute
or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Lender of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Lender to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver
thereof. Unless otherwise required by this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the Security Documents, no demand, presentment, protest advertisement or notice of any kind to or on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or
further notice or demand in similar other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Lender or to any other or further action in any circumstances without demand or notice. 

15. Failure of the Lender to Exercise Remedies. The Lender shall not be liable for any delay or failure to enforce any remedies available
to it or any delay or failure to institute any proceedings for such purposes.

	 	(e)	to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Receiver shall determine in its
discretion; 

  

	 	(f)	to demand, commence, continue or defend any judicial or administrative proceedings for the purpose of protecting, seizing, collecting, realizing or obtaining possession

 21. Separate Security. This Agreement and the Security Interest are in addition to and not in substitution
for any other security now or hereafter held by the Lender in respect of the Borrower, the Obligations or the Collateral and any other present and future rights or remedies which the Lender might have with respect thereto.

 23.
Termination; Release.  
  

	 	(a)	 On the Termination Date (as defined below), this Agreement shall terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth in the Loan Agreement and the
Security Documents and any other provision intended to survive shall survive) and the Lender, at the request and expense of the Borrower, will execute and deliver to the Borrower a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and
termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any financing change statements or other documents required to discharge the Lender’s Security Interest and instruments of satisfaction, discharge and/or reconveyance), and will duly
assign, transfer and deliver to the Borrower (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Lender and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released
pursuant to this Agreement, together with any Money at the time held by the 

  
 17 

	 	
Lender or any of its agents hereunder. With respect to any Collateral consisting of an uncertificated security or a Pledged Securities Account, security entitlement or Pledged Commodity Account

the Lender to the Borrower, upon which, all Disbursements and any interests, costs and expenses have been indefeasibly paid in full, and all other Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lender has no commitment or obligation
(contingent or otherwise) to extend any credit to or for the account of the Borrower.

the Collateral is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or upon the appointment of any intervener or conservator of, or trustee
or similar official for, or any substantial part of the properties of the Borrower, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

 24. Recourse. This Agreement is made with full recourse to the Borrower and pursuant to and upon all the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements on the part of the Borrower
contained herein, the Loan Agreement, the Security Documents and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith. It is the desire and intent of the Borrower that this Agreement shall be enforced against the Borrower and the Collateral, as
provided herein, the Loan Agreement and the Security Documents, to the fullest extent permissible under the Applicable Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. 

25. The Lender not a Partner. 
  

	 	(a)	Nothing herein, nor any pledge to the Lender of any interest of the Borrower in a partnership, shall be construed to (i) make the Lender liable as a partner in any
partnership, or (ii) impose on the Lender any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a partner of a partnership. 

  

	 	(b)	The Lender, by accepting this Agreement, does not intend to become a partner of any partnership or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with the Borrower either

Lender to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral or to take any action hereunder or thereunder or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability in respect of the
Collateral. 

  
 18

the Loan Agreement. 
 27. Amalgamation of Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in the event that it
amalgamates with any other persons (which it is prohibited from doing without the prior written consent of the Lender) then the Collateral and the Security Interest shall extend to and include all like property of the amalgamated corporation and all
references herein to Borrower shall extend to and include the amalgamated corporation and all references herein to Obligations shall extend to and include all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of every type and kind of the amalgamated
corporation. 
 28. Waivers. The Lender shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have expressly or
impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and executed by an authorized officer of the Lender. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver
by the Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or
otherwise. 
 29. Assignment. The Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any of the benefits or obligations hereunder to any
Person, without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender will have the right at any time to assign this Agreement and any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any Person.

shall not impair or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and each such provision shall be interpreted in such a manner as to render them valid, legal and enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by
Applicable Laws. Each provision of this Agreement is declared to be separate, severable and distinct. 
 33. Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the Borrower successors and permitted assigns. 
 34. Time. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. 
 35. Counterparty;
Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery by facsimile transmission of a counterpart of this Agreement
signed by the Borrower shall be effective as a manual delivery of an original signed counterpart of this Agreement and the Borrower undertakes to provide the Lender with a copy of this Agreement bearing original signatures forthwith upon demand.

  
 19 

 36. Headings. The headings of the several sections and subsections in this Agreement are for
purposes of reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning hereof. No ambiguity in any provisions of this Agreement shall be construed against the Lender on the ground that it or its legal counsel drafted such provisions or this Agreement.
Captions are included in this Agreement for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way amplify, limit or otherwise affect this Agreement for any other purpose.

this Agreement.

	 	(b)	For purposes of any suit, action or proceeding involving this Agreement or any judgment entered by a court in respect of such suit, action or proceeding, the Borrower
expressly submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario and agrees that any summons, order, process or other paper of such courts may be served upon the Borrower within or without such courts’ jurisdiction
by mailing a copy to the Borrower in its address specified in Section 26 hereof. The Borrower irrevocably waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement brought in any such court and further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the Lender’s right to

disbursements of money to or for the account of the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Loan”); 
 AND WHEREAS, the Guarantor is a major shareholder of the Borrower and is receiving substantial benefits from the Loan made to the Borrower, and is executing this Guaranty in consideration of such

present and future debts and liabilities, direct or indirect, now or at any time and from time to time hereafter due or owing (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) to the Lender from or by the Borrower and whether incurred by
the Borrower alone or jointly with any other corporation, person or persons, including, without limitation, pursuant to the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that the liability of the Guarantor is limited to its percentage of ownership held in the
Borrower multiplied by the overall liability of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement, plus any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Guaranty, all with interest at the rate

postponed to the Obligations, and all money received by the Guarantor in respect thereof after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be received in trust for the Lender and forthwith upon receipt shall be
paid over to the Lender, the whole without in any way lessening or limiting the liability of the Guarantor hereunder and this assignment and postponement is independent of this Guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until, in the case of
the assignment, the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty has been discharged or terminated and, in the case of the postponement, until payment in full to the Lender of all obligations owing by the Guarantor under this Guaranty.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to hinder or prevent repayment to the undersigned by the Borrower from time to time of all debts and liabilities, present and
future, of the Borrower to the undersigned until such time as an Event of Default occurs. 

  

	12.	Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Guaranty may be modified or waived without the prior written consent of the Lender. No delay on the
part of the Lender in exercising any of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle it to any
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 

 

	13.	Copy of Guaranty. The Guarantor acknowledges receipt of an executed copy of this Guaranty. 

 

	14.	The Loan Agreement. The Guarantor acknowledges that executed (or conformed) copy of the Loan Agreement and all other documents have been made
available to it and it is familiar with the contents thereof. 

  

	15.	Waiver of Consequential and Punitive Damages. The Guarantor agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waves, any claim that it may at any time
have against the Lender for consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages in connection with this Guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

 

	16.	Cumulative Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies granted to the Lender herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any rights, powers and remedies
to which the Lender may be entitled either by operation of law or pursuant to any other document or instrument heretofore or from time to time hereafter delivered to the Lender in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise. No election not to
exercise or failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, nor any course of dealing or performance, shall operate as a waiver of any right of the Lender under this Guaranty, nor shall any partial exercise of any such right preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right of the Lender under this Guaranty. 

  

	17.	 Illegality; Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty or any other document evidencing the Loan Agreement shall be held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or in any 

  
 5 

	 	
respect, then the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or the validity, legality and enforceability in any jurisdiction of the remaining provisions
contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired, and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to amend or substitute such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision with enforceable and valid provisions which would
produce as nearly as possible the rights and obligations previously intended by the parties hereto. 

  

	18.	Captions. The headings of the Sections of this Guaranty are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of
any provision of this Guaranty.

Canadian currency.

	 	(d)	may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of a signed
counterpart of this Guaranty by facsimile transmission shall be effective as a manual delivery of such counterpart. 

  

	22.	Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Process Agent. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of
Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. For purposes of any suit, action or proceeding involving this Guaranty or any judgment entered by a court in respect of such suit, action or proceeding, the Guarantor expressly submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario and agrees that any summons, order, process or other paper of such courts may be served upon the Guarantor within or without such courts’ jurisdiction by mailing a copy to the
