As continuing security for
the repayment and the performance of each of the Obligations of the Grantor to
the Lender, the Grantor grants to the Lender a continuing, specific and fixed
security interest in all of the Grantor’s property, assets, rights and
undertaking of every nature and kind, now owned or subsequently acquired and at
any time and from time to time existing or in which the Grantor has or acquires
an interest, wherever situate, including, without limitation, all of the
Secured Property.

 

2.2          Fixed Nature of Security Interests

 

The Security Interest is
intended to operate as a fixed and specific charge of all of the Secured
Property presently existing, and with respect to all future Secured Property,
to operate as a fixed and specific charge of such future Secured Property.

2.3          Attachment

 

The Grantor acknowledges
that value has been given. The Security Interest is intended to attach, as to
all of the Secured Property, upon the execution by the Grantor of this
Agreement.

 

2.4          Leases

 

The last day of any term
reserved by any lease, written or unwritten, or any agreement to lease, now
held or subsequently acquired by the Grantor is excepted out of the Security
Interests. As further security for the payment of the Obligations, the Grantor
agrees that it will stand possessed of the reversion of such last day of the
term and shall hold it in trust for the Lender for the purpose of this
Agreement. The Grantor shall assign and dispose of the same in such manner as
the Lender may from time to time direct in writing without cost or expense to
the Lender. Upon any sale, assignment, sublease or other disposition of such
lease or agreement to lease, the Lender shall, for the purpose of vesting the
residue of any such term in any purchaser, sublessee or such other acquiror of
the lease, agreement to lease or any interest in any of them, be entitled by
deed or other written instrument to assign to such other person, the residue of
any such term in place of the Grantor and to vest the residue freed and discharged
from any obligation whatsoever respecting the same.

 

2.5          Consent

 

Nothing in this Agreement
shall constitute an assignment or attempted assignment of any contract or
agreement which by its provisions or by law is not assignable or which requires
the consent of a third party to its assignment unless such consent has been
obtained. In each such case, the Grantor shall, unless the Lender otherwise
agrees in writing, promptly, upon written request by the Lender, attempt to
obtain the consent of any necessary third party to its assignment under this
Agreement and to its further assignment by the lender to any third party as a
result of the exercise by the Lender of remedies after demand. Upon such
consent being obtained or waived, this Agreement shall apply to the applicable
contract or agreement without regard to this section and without the necessity
of any further assurance to effect such assignment. Unless and until the
consent to assignment is obtained as provided above, the Grantor shall, to the
extent it may do so at law or pursuant to the provisions of the contract or
interest in question hold all benefit to be derived from such contracts or
agreements in trust for the Lender (including, without limitation, the Grantor’s
beneficial interest in any contract or agreement which may be held in trust for
the Grantor by a third party), as additional security for payment of
Obligations and shall deliver up all such benefit to the Lender, promptly upon
demand by the Lender.

Obligations only as they are actually

(f)                                    Power of Attorney - Upon the occurrence, and during the
continuance of, an Event of Default, the Grantor constitutes and appoints the
Lender from time to time, or any receiver appointed of the Grantor as provided
for in this Agreement, the true and lawful attorney of the Grantor irrevocably
with full power of substitution to do, make and execute all such documents,
acts, matters or things with the right to use the name of the Grantor whenever
and wherever it may be deemed necessary or expedient in connection with the
exercise of its rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement. Without
limitation, the Lender or its agent is authorized to sign any financing
statements and similar forms which may be necessary or desirable to perfect the
Security Interest in any jurisdiction on behalf of the Grantor. The Grantor
declares that the irrevocable power of attorney granted in this Agreement,
being coupled with an interest, is given for valuable consideration;

 

(g)                                 Securities -

 

(i)                                     Disposal - Without limiting the generality of Section
7.1(d), the Grantor acknowledges that when disposing of any Securities, the
Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Securities,
or to sell any or all of the securities as a control block sale at more than a
stated premium to the “market price” of any shares, stock, instruments,
warrants, bonds, debenture stock and other securities forming part of the
Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act (Ontario) and applicable laws of other jurisdictions, but may
be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of
purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such
Securities as principal and to comply with other resale restrictions provided
for in the Securities Act (Ontario) and other applicable laws.
The Grantor 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 or a control block 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 Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the
Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such
securities to qualify such Securities for public sale under the Securities Act (Ontario) or under applicable securities laws of other
jurisdictions, even if the issuer would agree to do so, or to permit a
prospective purchaser to make a formal offer to all or substantially all
holders of any class of securities forming any part of the Securities;

 

11

 

(ii)                                  Exercise of Rights - Upon the occurrence, and during the
continuance of, an Event of Default the Lender may elect by written notice to
the Grantor and to an officer of the issuer of the Securities, that all or part
of the rights of the Grantor in the Securities including, without limitation,
the right to vote, give consents, waivers or ratifications and take other
actions and receive dividends or other distributions, shall cease, and upon
such election all such rights shall become vested in the Lender or as it may
direct;

 

(iii)                               Registration - Require that the Securities be registered
in the name of the Lender or as it may direct and the Lender may then, without
notice, exercise any and all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of the
issuers thereof and exercise any and all rights, privileges or options
pertaining to the Securities as if it were the absolute owner, including
without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion, any and all of the
Securities upon the issuer’s amalgamation, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment or upon the issuer’s
exercise of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Securities
and to deposit and deliver any and all of the Secured Property with any
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency
upon such terms and conditions as it may determine;

 

(h)                                 Collection of Accounts Receivable - Upon the occurrence, and during the
continuance of, an Event of Default the Lender on its own account or through a
receiver, receiver-manager or agent and whether alone or in conjunction with
the exercise of all or any other remedies contemplated by this Agreement, shall
have the right, at any time, to notify and direct Account Debtors to make all payments
whatever to the Lender and the Lender shall have the right, at any time, to
hold all amounts acquired from any Account Debtors and any Proceeds as part of
the Secured Property. Upon such occurrence and during such continuance, any
payments received by the Grantor shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the
Lender in the same medium in which received, shall not be commingled with any
assets of the Grantor and shall, at the request of the Lender be turned over to
the Lender not later than the next business day following the day of their
receipt;

 

(i)                                     Carry on Business - Carry
on or concur in the carrying on of all or any part of the business of the
Grantor and may, in any event, to the exclusion of all others, including the
Grantor, enter upon, occupy and use all premises of or occupied or used by the
Grantor and use any of the personal property (which shall include fixtures) of
the Grantor for such time and such purposes as the Lender sees fit. The Lender
shall not be liable to the Grantor for any neglect in so doing or in respect of
any related rent, costs, charges, depreciation or damages;

 

(j)                                     Payment of Encumbrances - Pay any encumbrance, lien, claim or charge
that may exist or be threatened against the Secured Property, and any amount so
paid together with costs, charges and expenses incurred shall be added to the
Obligations;

 

12

 

(k)                                  Payment of Deficiency - If the proceeds of realization are
insufficient to pay all monetary Obligations, the Grantor shall forthwith pay
or cause to be paid to the Lender any deficiency and the Lender may sue the
Grantor to collect the amount of such deficiency; and

 

(l)                                     Dealing with Secured Property - Subject to applicable law, seize, collect,
realize, borrow money on the security of, release to third parties, sell (by
way of public or private sale), lease or otherwise deal with the Secured
Property in such manner, upon such terms and conditions, at such time or times
and place or places and for such consideration as may seem to the Lender
advisable and without notice to the Grantor. The Lender may charge on its own
behalf and pay to others sums for expenses incurred and for services rendered
(expressly including without limitation, legal, consulting, broker, management,
receivership and accounting fees) in or in connection with seizing, collecting,
realizing, borrowing on the security of, selling or obtaining payment of the
Secured Property and may add all such sums to the Obligations.

 

7.2          Assemble the Secured Property

 

To assist the Lender in the
implementation of such rights and remedies, the Grantor will, at its own risk
and expense and immediately upon the Lender’s request, assemble and prepare for
removal such items of the Secured Property as are selected by the Lender as
shall, in the Lender’s sole judgment, have a value sufficient to cover all the
Obligations.

 

7.3          Allocation of proceeds

 

All monies collected or
received by the Lender in respect of the Secured Property may be held by the
Lender and may be applied on account of such parts of the Obligations at the
sole discretion of the Lender.

 

7.4          Waivers and Extensions

 

The Lender may waive default
or any breach by the Grantor of any of the provisions contained in this
Agreement. No waiver shall extend to a subsequent breach or default, whether or
not the same as or similar to the breach or default waived and no act or
omission of the Lender shall extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to
affect any subsequent breach or default of the Grantor or the rights of the
Lender resulting therefrom. Any such waiver must be in writing and signed by
the Lender to be effective.

 

The Lender may also grant
extensions of time and other indulgences, take and give up securities, accept
compositions, grant releases and discharges, release the Secured Property to
third parties and otherwise deal with the Grantor’s guarantors or sureties and
others and with the Secured Property and other securities as the Lender may see
fit without prejudice to the liability of the Grantor to the Lender, or the
Lender’s rights, remedies and powers under this Agreement. No extension of
time, forbearance, indulgence or other accommodation now, heretofore or
hereafter given by the Lender to the Grantor shall operate as a waiver,
alteration or amendment of the rights of the Lender or otherwise preclude the
Lender from enforcing such rights.

 

13

 

7.5          Remedies Cumulative and Waivers

 

For greater certainty, it is
expressly understood and agreed that the rights and remedies of the Lender
under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in
substitution for any rights or remedies provided by law or equity; and any
single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy for a default or
breach of any term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in this
Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of, or to alter, affect or
prejudice, any other right or remedy to which any one or more of the Lenders
may be lawfully entitled for such default or breach. Any waiver by the Lender
of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any term, covenant,
condition or other matter contained in this Agreement and any indulgence
granted, either expressly or by course of conduct by the Lender shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was
given and shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any right or remedy of the
Lender under this Agreement as a result of any other default or breach under
this Agreement.

 

7.6          Effect of Possession or Receiver

 

As soon as the Lender takes
possession of any Secured Property or appoints a receiver, all powers,
functions, rights and privileges of the Grantor and the directors and officers
of the Grantor with respect to the Secured Property shall cease, unless
specifically continued by the written consent of the Lender or the receiver.

 

7.7          Set-off or Compensation

 

In addition to and not in
limitation of any rights granted now or after the date of this Agreement at
law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Lender may at any time and from time to time without notice to the Grantor (it
being expressly waived by the Grantor) to set-off and compensate and apply any
and all deposits, general or special, term or demand, provisional or final,
matured or unmatured, and any other indebtedness at any time owing by the
Lender, or to appropriate any other properties or assets at any time held by
the Lender, to or for the credit of or the account of the Grantor, against and
on account of the Obligations, even if any of them are contingent or unmatured.

 

7.8          Limitation of Liability

 

The Lender shall not be
liable or accountable:

 

(a)                                  by reason of any entry into or taking
possession of all or any of the Secured Property, to account as mortgagee in
possession or for anything except actual receipts, or for any loss on
realization or any act or omission for which a secured party in possession
might be liable; or

 

(b)                                 for any failure to exercise its remedies,
take possession of, seize, collect, realize, sell, lease or otherwise dispose
of or obtain payment for the Secured Property and shall not be bound to
institute proceedings for such purposes or for the purpose of preserving any
rights, remedies or powers of the Lender, the Grantor or any other person in
respect of same.

 

14

 

The Lender shall not by
virtue of these presents be deemed to be a mortgagee in possession of the
Secured Property. The Grantor releases and discharges the Lender and the
receiver from every claim of every nature, whether sounding in damages or not,
which may arise or be caused to the Grantor or any person claiming through or
under the Grantor by reason or as a result of anything done by the Lender or
any successor or assign claiming through or under the Lender or the receiver
under the provisions of this Agreement unless such claim be the result of
dishonesty or gross neglect.
