party is in default in the observance or performance of any material term or
material obligation to be performed by any of them under any material contract
to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound
and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would
constitute such a default, in any such case which default or event would have a
material adverse effect on the assets or properties, business, results of

person, based on the advice of reputable insurance brokers consulted by the
Company. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any material
claim on any policy of insurance or been refused any insurance coverage sought

not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage of the Company and each of
the Subsidiaries as an when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage
from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost
that would not be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the
assets or properties, business, results of operations, prospects or condition

material transaction or any proposed material transaction which, as the case
may be, materially affected, is material to or will materially affect the

7.                                      Closing

 

7.1                                 The Offering will be completed at the offices of the Company’s legal counsel,
Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, 40 King Street West, Toronto, Suite 5800,
Ontario, M5H 3Z7 at the Time of Closing or such other place, date or time as
may be mutually agreed to, provided that if the Company has not been able to
comply with any of the covenants or conditions set out herein required to be
complied with by the Time of Closing or such other date and time as may be
mutually agreed to, the respective obligations of the parties will terminate
without further liability or obligation except for payment of expenses in
accordance with Section 11, indemnity in accordance with Section 9
and contribution in accordance with Section 10.

 

7.2                                 At the Time of Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Agent:

 

(a)                                  Convertible Note Certificates duly registered as the Agent may
direct;

and

 

(d)                                 such further documentation as may be contemplated herein or as
counsel to the Agent or the applicable regulatory authorities may reasonably
require,

 

against payment of the purchase price for the
Convertible Notes by certified cheque, wire transfer or bank draft and delivery
of the duly completed and executed Subscription Agreements and other
documentation required to be provided by or on behalf of the Purchasers or the
Agent pursuant to this agreement. The Company will, at the Time of Closing, and
upon such payment of the purchase price, pay the Agency Fee to the Agent and reimburse
the Agent for all of its reasonable estimated expenses as contemplated in
Section 11 hereto incurred up to the Closing Date upon the delivery by it
to the Company of one or more invoices therefor, subject to any adjustment when
such actual expenses are finally determined in accordance with, and any
limitations set out in, Section 11 hereof.

 

7.3                                 All terms and conditions of this agreement shall be construed as
conditions and any breach or failure to comply with any such terms and
conditions shall entitle the Agent to terminate its obligations (and that of
the Purchasers to purchase the Convertible Notes) by written notice to that
effect given to the Company prior to the Time of Closing. It is understood that
the Agent may waive in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance
with, any of such terms and conditions on behalf of themselves and the
Purchasers without prejudice to their rights in respect of any such

 

22

 

terms and conditions or any other
subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Agent
and the Purchasers, any such waiver or extension must be in writing.

 

8.                                      Termination of Purchase Obligation

 

8.1                                 Without limiting any of the foregoing provisions of this agreement,
and in addition to any other remedies which may be available to it, the Agent
(on its own behalf and on behalf of the Purchasers) shall be entitled, at its
option, to terminate and cancel, without any liability, its obligations under
this agreement and those of the Purchasers, by giving written notice to the
Company at any time through to the Time of Closing, if:

 

(a)                                  the Agent, acting reasonably, is not satisfied in any reasonable
respect with the results of its due diligence investigations carried out prior
to the Time of Closing;

 

(b)                                 any order or ruling is issued, any inquiry, investigation or other
proceeding (whether formal or informal) in relation to the Company or any of
the Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors and officers is made,
threatened or announced by any officer or official of any stock exchange,
Securities Commission or other regulatory authority (other than an order based
solely upon the activities or alleged activities of the Agent) or any law or
regulation in a Qualifying Province is promulgated or changed which operates to
prevent or restrict trading in or distribution of the Convertible Notes, Unit
Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares, Compensation Options or Underlying
Compensation Securities;

 

(c)                                  there should develop, occur or come into effect any incident of
national or international consequence, any law, regulation or inquiry or any
other event, action or occurrence of any nature whatsoever which, in the
reasonable opinion of the Agent, materially and adversely affects or may
materially and adversely affect the financial markets in Canada generally or
the business, affairs or capital of the Company, taken as a whole;

 

(d)                                 there should occur any material change or change in a material fact
which, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, impacts materially and adversely
on the marketability of the Convertible Notes;

 

(e)                                  the Company is in breach of any material term, condition or covenant
of this agreement (which has not been waived, in writing, by the Agent) or any
material representation or warranty given by the Company in this agreement
becomes or is false (and such representation or warranty is not waived, in
writing, by the Agent); or

 

(f)                                    if the Agent otherwise determines it would be unprofitable or
impractical to offer or continue to offer the Convertible Notes;

 

the occurrence or non-occurrence of any of
the foregoing events or circumstances to be determined in the sole discretion
of the Agent, acting reasonably.

 

8.2                                 The Agent shall make reasonable efforts to give notice to the
Company (in writing or by other means) of the occurrence of any of the events
referred to in Section 8.1, provided that neither

 

23

 

the giving nor the failure to give such
notice shall in any way affect the Agent’s entitlement to exercise this right
at any time through to the Time of Closing.

 

8.3                                 The Agent’s rights of termination contained in this section are
in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have in respect of any
default, act or failure to act or non-compliance by the Company in respect of
any of the matters contemplated by this agreement.

 

8.4                                 If the obligations of the Agent and the Purchasers are terminated
under this agreement pursuant to the termination rights provided for in
Section 8.1, the Company’s liabilities to the Agent and the Purchasers
shall be limited to the Company’s obligations under the indemnity, contribution
and expense provisions of Sections 9, 10, and 11, respectively, of this
agreement.

 

9.                                      Indemnity

 

9.1                                 The Company hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify the Agent, and
its directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents (each being
hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnified Party”), against all losses (other than a loss
of profits), claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, joint or
several, including reimbursement to the Agent upon demand of the aggregate
amount paid in settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings or claims and the
reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel that may be incurred in advising
with respect to and/or defending any claim to which any Indemnified Party may
become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or
common law or otherwise, caused or incurred by reason of:

 

(a)                                  the Indemnified Party having acted as agent of the Company in
respect of the Offering (other than by reason of the negligence, wilful
misconduct or bad faith of the Indemnified Party);

 

(b)                                 any statement (other than a statement relating solely to, and
provided by, the Agent) contained in the Company’s Information Record which, at
the time and in the light of the circumstances under which it was made,
contains or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation;

 

(c)                                  the omission or alleged omission to state in any certificate of the
Company delivered hereunder or pursuant hereto or in the Company’s Information
Record any material fact (other than a material fact omitted in reliance upon
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Agent) required to
be stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances under which it was made;

 

(d)                                 any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceeding commenced or
threatened by any Securities Commission or other competent authority based upon
any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation in the Company’s Information
Record (other than a statement included in reliance upon information furnished
to the Company by or on behalf of the Agent) which prevents or restricts the trading
in the Convertible Notes, Unit Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares, Underlying
Compensation Securities or the distribution to the public, as the case may be,
of the Convertible Notes, Unit Shares, Warrants or Warrant

 

24

 

Shares in any
of the Qualifying Provinces or the distribution to the Agent of the Underlying
Compensation Securities;

 

(e)                                  the Company not complying with any requirement of any Applicable
Securities Laws or regulatory requirements (including any private placement
filing or other requirements under any of the Applicable Securities Laws in
connection with the Offering); or

 

(f)                                    any material breach of any representation or warranty of the Company
contained herein or the failure of the Company to comply with any of its
obligations hereunder.

 

9.2                                 If any action or claim shall be asserted against an Indemnified
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Company pursuant to
the provisions of Section 9.1 or if any potential claim contemplated
hereby shall come to the knowledge of an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified
Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing. If, through the fault of
the Indemnified Party, the Company does not receive notice of any such action,
claim or potential claim in time to contest effectively the determination of
any liability susceptible of being contested, the Company shall be entitled to
set off against the amount claimed by the Indemnified Party the amount of any
losses incurred by the Company which result from the Indemnified Party’s
failure to give such notice on a timely basis. The Company shall be entitled
but not obligated to participate in or assume the defence thereof, provided,
however, that the defence shall be through legal counsel acceptable to the
Indemnified Party, acting reasonably. In addition, the Indemnified Party shall
also have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and
participate in the defence thereof, and the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be borne by the Indemnified Party if:

 

(a)                                  the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in writing
by the Company;

 

(b)                                 the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel, acting
reasonably, in a written opinion setting out the reasons therefor, that representation
of the Company and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them; or

 

(c)                                  the Company has failed within a reasonable time after receipt of
such written notice to assume the defense of such action or claim;

 

provided that the Company shall not be
required to assume the fees and expenses of more than one additional counsel to
the Indemnified Party. Neither party shall effect any settlement of any such
action or claim or make any admission of liability or fact without the written
consent of the other party, such consent to be promptly considered and not to
be unreasonably withheld. The indemnity hereby provided for shall remain in
full force and effect and shall not be limited to or affected by any other
indemnity in respect of any matters specified herein obtained by the
Indemnified Party from any other person.

 

9.3                                 To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this
agreement, the Agent shall obtain and hold the right and benefit of the
indemnity provisions hereof in trust for and on behalf of

 

25

 

such Indemnified Party, entitled to enforce
such provisions for its benefit and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

 

10.                               Contribution

 

10.1                           In the event that the indemnity provided for above is, for any
reason, illegal or unenforceable as being contrary to public policy or for any
other reason, the Agent and the Company shall contribute to the aggregate of
all losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities (including any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party) of the
nature provided for above such that the Agent shall be responsible for that
portion represented by the percentage that the portion of the Agency Fee paid
by the Company to the Agent bears to the gross proceeds realized from the sale
of the Convertible Notes, and the Company shall be responsible for the balance,
provided that, in no event, shall the Agent be responsible for any amount in
excess of the amount of the Agency Fee actually received by the Agent. In the
event that the Company may be held to be entitled to contribution from the
Agent under the provisions of any statute or law, the Company shall be limited
to contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser of: (i) the portion of
the full amount of losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities,
giving rise to such contribution for which the Agent is responsible, as
determined above, and (ii) the amount of the Agency Fee actually received by
the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation shall not be entitled to contribution from the other party.
Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receiving notice of
commencement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against such party in
respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against the other party
under this section, notify such party from whom contribution may be sought. In
no case shall such party from whom contribution may be sought be liable under
this agreement unless such notice has been provided, but the omission to so
notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be
sought from any other obligation it may have otherwise than under this section,
except to the extent that such failure to notify jeopardizes the legal position
of the party from whom contribution may be sought. The right to contribution
provided in this section shall be in addition to, and not in derogation
of, any other right to contribution which the Agent or the Company may have by
statute or otherwise by law.

 

10.2                           The Company waives its right to recover contribution from the Agent
or any other Indemnified Party with respect to any liability of the Company
solely by reason of or arising out of any misrepresentation contained in the
Company’s Information Record, other than a misrepresentation included in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of the Agent specifically for use therein.

 

11.                               Expenses

 

11.1                           Whether or not the Offering is completed, all expenses incurred from
time to time in connection with the Offering (including the Agent’s reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses which include those expenses incurred in connection with
due diligence and marketing meetings) and the reasonable fees and disbursements
of the Agent’s legal counsel (up to a maximum of $40,000, exclusive of
disbursements) or incidental to the Offering and all matters in connection with
the transactions herein, including the costs and filing fees with respect to
the private placement of the Convertible Notes, costs associated with the
listing and posting for trading on the Exchange of the

 

26

 

Unit Shares, the Warrant Shares, the
Compensation Unit Shares and Compensation Warrant Shares, the cost of the
registration and delivery of the Convertible Notes, Unit Shares, Warrant
Certificates, Warrant Shares, the Compensation Option Certificates and the
Underlying Compensation Securities and the fees and expenses of each of the
Company’s auditors, counsel and local counsel shall be borne by the
Company.  Subject to the foregoing, the
Company shall also be responsible for any exigible Goods and Services Tax on
the foregoing amounts. The Company covenants and agrees to fully reimburse the
Agent from time to time for all such expenses within 5 business days from the
receipt of one or more invoices.

 

12.                               Right of First Refusal

 

12.1                           Subject to meeting or exceeding the thresholds set out under
Section 12.2 below, the Company hereby grants the Agent the right of first
refusal to provide, for a period from completion of the Offering set out in
Section 12.2 below, the following services to the Company and its
Subsidiaries, if such services are required by the Company or the Subsidiaries:

 

(a)                                  services as lead manager or lead underwriter for all equity
financings (whether private or public) conducted in Canada (and whether or not
such financing is conducted entirely in Canada or is the Canadian portion of a
financing that is also conducted in the United States or elsewhere); and

 

(b)                                 services as lead manager or lead underwriter for the Canadian
tranche of any foreign-led equity financing.

 

12.2                           The period under which the Agent will have the right of first
refusal will be:

 

(a)                                  one year if the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering (the
“Gross Proceeds”), other than those allocable to Protected List Purchases, are
at least $1,000,000 but less than $2,000,000; and

 

(b)                                 two years if the Gross Proceeds, other than those allocable to
Protected List Purchases, are at least $2,000,000.

 

12.3                           The rights of the Agent referred to in Section 12.1 hereof must
be exercised by the Agent within a reasonable period of time, and in any event
not later than the tenth Business Day after the Agent has been provided with
written notice from the Company that such services are required, which notice
shall set out, in reasonably sufficient detail, the services required and the
proposed terms of such services.  If the
Agent does not exercise such rights, the Company may retain a third party to
provide such services but not on more favourable terms than those which were
offered to the Agent.  Any more
favourable terms of such services must first be offered to the Agent before
being offered to a third party. 
Further, if the Company engages the Agent pursuant to the provisions
described in Section 12.1 hereof, or if the Agent is required to execute
any documents relating to an offering, the Company and the Agent, as the case
may be, shall enter into one or more agreements with respect to such events in
a form satisfactory to the Company and the Agent, acting reasonably.

 

27

 

13.                               Survival of Warranties, Representations, Covenants and Agreements

 

13.1                           All warranties, representations, covenants and agreements of the

SCHEDULE “A”

 

ADB SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL LTD.

 

This
is Schedule “A” to the Agency Agreement between ADB Systems International
Ltd. and First Associates Investments Inc. made as of June 15, 2004.

 

	
  Issue:

  	
   

  	
  Up to $5,000,000 principal amount of
  Convertible Notes, to be issued by way of private placement exemptions from
  prospectus and registration requirements, subject to the receipt of any applicable
  regulatory and stock exchange approvals.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Issue Price:

  	
   

  	
  The Convertible Notes will be issued at par
  in integral multiples of $1,000.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Convertible Notes:

  	
   

  	
  The Convertible Notes will have the
  following material terms:

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  (a)

  	
  The Convertible Notes will bear interest
  at an annual rate of 7% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes
  outstanding from time to time, payable on the earlier of the conversion of
  the Convertible Notes or the Maturity Date (as defined below).  Interest will continue to accrue until
  paid;

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  (b)

  	
  The Convertible Notes will mature and be
  payable on the date that is the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the
  “Maturity Date”)

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  (c)

  	
  At any time up to and including the
  Maturity Date, all or any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible
  Notes outstanding from time to time will be convertible, at the option of the
  holder, provided that the holder complies with the notice provisions
  therefor, into units of securities of the Company (“Units”) at a conversion
  price of $0.31 per Unit (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustments for
  stock splits, consolidations, other capital reorganizations, extraordinary
  dividends or distributions;

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  (d)

  	
  Each Unit will consist of one common
  share in the capital of ADB (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common
  Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). 
  Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share
  at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, and will be exercisable at any time
  prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date; and

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  (e)

  	
  In the event that at any time from and
  after the first anniversary of the Closing Date the volume weighted average
  trading price of the Common Shares through its principal trading market for a
  20 consecutive trading day period is $0.70 or more, all then outstanding
  Convertible Notes, including any accrued interest thereon, will be
  automatically converted into Units at the Conversion Price.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Use of Proceeds:

  	
   

  	
  For working capital and general corporate
  purposes.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Security:

  	
   

  	
  The Convertible Notes will provide general
  security over the Corporation’s assets.

  

 

31

 

	
   

  	
   

  	
  Such security will be subordinate
  liabilities of the Corporation to current secured creditors.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Listing:

  	
   

  	
  The Common Share component of the Units
  (and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) will be listed
  on the TSX.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Commission:

  	
   

  	
  8% of the gross proceeds of the
  Offering.  In addition, the Agent will
  receive an option, exercisable until the second anniversary of the Closing
  Date, to purchase that number of Units as is equal to 10% of the Units
  issuable upon full conversion of the Convertible Notes sold under the
  Offering, at an exercise price equal to the Conversion Price.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Closing Date:

  	
   

  	
  On or about June 15, 2004.  The Offering may be completed through one
  or more closings.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Closing Time:

  	
   

  	
  2:00 p.m. (Toronto
  time) on the Closing Date.

GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT is made as of May 19, 2004 by ADB SYSTEMS
INTERNATIONAL LTD., an Ontario corporation, in favour of:

 

STONESTREET LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

 

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and adequacy of which
are acknowledged by the Company, the Company agrees with the Investor as
follows:

 

1.             Definitions.  In this Agreement, unless defined elsewhere in this Agreement,
capitalized terms shall bear the meanings set out in Schedule “A”.

 

2.             Grant
of Security.  As general and continuing
collateral security for the due payment and performance of the Indebtedness,
the Company grants to the Investor a security interest in the Collateral,
mortgages and charges the Collateral in favour of the Investor, and assigns the
Collateral, in favour of the Investor.

 

3.             Attachment.  The Security Interests created in this Agreement are intended to
attach: (i) to existing Collateral when the Company signs this Agreement; and
(ii) to Collateral subsequently acquired by the Company immediately upon the
Company acquiring any rights in such Collateral.

 

4.             Limitations
on Grant of Security.  The Security
Interests created by this Agreement do not extend to any Excluded
Collateral.  All Excluded Collateral
shall be held by the Company in trust for the Investor and, on the exercise by
the Investor of any of its rights under this Agreement following a Default,
will be assigned and otherwise dealt with by the Company as directed by the
Investor.

 

5.             Representations
and Warranties.  The Company
represents and warrants to the Investor that:

 

(a)           Legal Name of Company.  The name of the Company set out on the first page of this
agreement is the full legal name of the Company set out in the Company’s
constating documents, as amended and in effect on the date hereof.

 

(b)           Place of Business and Location of Records.  The Company’s chief executive office, the location of the office
where it keeps its records respecting its accounts receivable, and all other
places of Business of the Company are listed on Schedule “B” hereto.

 

(c)           Title; No Other Security Interests.  The Company owns (or, with respect to any leased or licensed
property forming part of the Collateral, holds a valid leasehold or licensed
interest in) the Collateral free and clear of any Security Interests, other
than Permitted Security Interests.

 

(d)           No Contravention of Other Obligations.  The Company is duly incorporated and has the power and authority
to grant to the Investor the Security Interests created by this Agreement and
to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under this

 

 

Agreement and
such execution, delivery and performance does not contravene any of the
Company’s constating documents or by-laws or to the best of its knowledge, any
material agreements or instruments to which the Company is a party.

 

(e)           Enforceability.  This agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject only by
bankruptcy, insolvency and any other laws of general application affecting
creditors’ rights and by rules of equity.

 

(f)            Ownership of Collateral.  The Company is, or is to become, the owner of the Collateral and
has, or will have when the Collateral is acquired, the right to create a
security interest in the Collateral in favour of the Investor.

 

6.             Covenants.  The Company covenants and agrees with the
Investor that:

 

(a)           Delivery of Information Regarding
Collateral.  The Company shall forthwith
on request, furnish to the Investor in writing all information requested by the
Investor, acting reasonably, relating to the Collateral (including reports,
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral),
forthwith on request, furnish to the Investor descriptions of any material
Collateral acquired after this Agreement is executed, and the Investor shall be
entitled from time to time, upon reasonable notice, to inspect the Collateral
and to take temporary custody of and make copies of all documents relating to
the Collateral and for such purposes the Investor shall, upon reasonable
notice, have access to all premises occupied by the Company or where the
Collateral or any of it may be found.

 

(b)           Further Documentation.  The Company shall from time to time forthwith on the Investor’s
request do, make and execute all such financing statements, further assignments
or agreements, documents, schedules to this Agreement, acts, matters and things
as may be required by the Investor, acting reasonably, of or with respect to
the Collateral or any part thereof or as may be required to give effect to
these presents.

 

(c)           No Change in Location of Collateral etc.  The Company will not change its chief executive office or the
location of the Collateral, (other than Inventory enroute from suppliers or
enroute to the Company or on lease or on consignment) or the location of the
office where it keeps its records respecting the Accounts, without providing to
the Investor such additional security and priority agreements, if any, as the
Investor may reasonably require and without obtaining the prior written
approval of the Investor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(d)           Notices. 
The Company agrees to immediately notify the Investor, if any person,
firm or corporation has the right to go into, collect or seize possession of
any part of the Collateral by means of execution, garnishment or other legal
process.

 

(e)           Payments Relating to Collateral.  The Company agrees to make all payments and keep current all
accounts which the Company is obliged to pay and which, if not

 

2

 

paid, may
result in an encumbrance against the Collateral and will provide to the
Investor such information requested by it from time to time to evidence that
such payments have been made.

 

(f)            Limitations on Other Security Interests.  The Company will not create, incur or permit to exist, and will
defend the Collateral against, and will take such other action as is necessary
to remove, any and all Security Interests on and claims in respect of the
Collateral other than the Permitted Security Interests and the Company will
defend the right, title and interest of the Investor in and to the Collateral
against the claims and demands of all Persons.

 

(g)           Limitations on Dispositions of Collateral.  The Company will not, without the Investor’s prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except in the ordinary course
of business.  Following Default, all
Proceeds of the Collateral (including all amounts received in respect of
Accounts), whether or not arising in the ordinary course of the Company’s
business, will be held (if received prior to the Default) or received and held
(if received after the Default) by the Company as trustee for the Investor and
will be immediately paid to the Investor upon request by the Investor.

 

(h)           Maintenance of Collateral. The Company will maintain
all tangible Collateral in good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, and the Company will provide all maintenance, service and repairs
necessary for such purpose.  Further,
the Company shall take all action as necessary, desirable or reasonably requested
by the Investor to preserve the Excluded Collateral and all benefits deriving
therefrom for the benefit of the Investor.

 

(i)            Payment of Taxes.  The Company will from time to time pay or cause to be paid all
taxes, assessments, levies and similar impositions of every nature and kind
whatsoever (“Taxes”) which may be levied, assessed or imposed on the Collateral
or any part thereof.  The Company will
from time to time pay or cause to be paid all Taxes, general and special,
ordinary or extraordinary, of every nature and kind whatsoever, including local
improvement taxes, which shall be levied, assessed or imposed upon the
Collateral or any part thereof, or upon the Company or any other person on
account thereof, save and except when and so long as the validity of any such
Taxes, is in good faith contested by the Company, and, if applicable, the same
remain Permitted Security Interests. 
The Investor may, at any time and from time to time, at the Company’s
expense, obtain from the municipality pertaining to the lands, a tax
certificate confirming the status of property taxes in respect of such lands.

 

(j)            Insurance. 
The Company will keep the Collateral insured with financially sound and
reputable companies against loss or damage by fire, explosion, theft and such
other risks in such amounts and upon such terms as would a reasonably prudent
owner of similar property.  The Company
will, from time to time at the Investor’s reasonable request, deliver the
applicable insurance policies (or satisfactory evidence of such policies) to
the Investor.  If the Company does not
obtain or maintain such insurance,

 

3

 

the Investor
may, but need not, do so, in which event the Company will immediately on demand
reimburse the Investor for all payments made by the Investor in connection with
obtaining and maintaining such insurance, and until reimbursed any such payment
will form part of the Indebtedness and will be secured by the Security
Interests created by this Agreement.

 

7.             Survival
of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. 
All agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by the
Company in the Security Documents (except as may be otherwise specified
therein) will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any
investigation made at any time by or on behalf of the Investor and any
disposition or payment of the Indebtedness until repayment and performance in
full of the Indebtedness.

 

8.             Default.  Any one or more of the following events shall constitute a
“Default” pursuant to this Agreement:

 

(a)           Failure to Pay.  If the Company fails to make payment of any principal or interest
on account of the Indebtedness when the same shall become due and such Default
shall continue for a period of two (2) Business Days after a notice in writing
of such default has been given by the Investor to the Company.

 

(b)           Default under Agreements.

 

(i)            If the Company defaults under the Secured
Covertible Note, the subscription agreement under which the Secured Covertible
Note is subscribed, or any agreement which are schedules to the foregoing; or

 

(ii)           if the Company defaults under any secured
debt obligations of the Company other than the Secured Covertible Note.

 

(c)           Failure to Comply with Covenants.  If the Company defaults in observing or performing any other covenant
or condition of the Security Documents in its part to be observed or performed
and if such default shall continue for a period of 10 Business Days after a
notice in writing has been given by the Investor to the Company specifying such
default, provided that in the case of a Default which cannot be remedied simply
by payment of money such Default shall be deemed not to have occurred if, and
so long as, the Company shall have within such 10 Business Day period commenced
to remedy such Default and diligently pursued the remedying thereof.

 

(d)           False Representations.  If any representation or warranty of the Company made hereto in
any certificate or other instrument or document furnished by the Company to the
Investor shall have been false or misleading in any material respect when made.

 

(e)           Failure to Pay Taxes, etc.  If the Company fails to pay taxes, rates, levies, duties, public
utility charges and assessments, which shall be levied, assessed or imposed
upon the Collateral or any part thereof, or upon the Company on account thereof
(save and except when and so long as the validity thereof is in good faith
contested

 

4

 

by the Company
and the same remain Permitted Security Interests) and any such Default as
aforesaid shall continue either for a period of 30 days after written notice to
the Company from the Investor.

 

(f)            Appointment of Receiver.  If a receiver or receiver and manager or a liquidator or a
trustee in bankruptcy of the Company for all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company shall be appointed and the Company fails to seek to set aside
such appointment within 30 days after such appointment or if the Company
acquiesces to such appointment.

 

(g)           Inability of Pay Debts Generally.  If the Company shall admit its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due or otherwise acknowledge its insolvency or an
effective resolution passed for the winding-up of the Company or if the Company
shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or if the Company
shall make a proposal to its respective creditors under a bankruptcy act.

 

(h)           Declaration of Bankruptcy or Insolvency
Under the Law.  If the Company declares
bankruptcy or insolvency under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
winding-up or adjustment of debts and does not commence a challenge, appeal or
seek to set aside such decision within 15 days after receipt of notice of such
decision and proceed vigorously thereafter with such challenge.

 

9.             Rights
on Default.  On Default and so long as such
Default is continuing, the security constituted by this Agreement will be
enforceable, and the Investor may, personally or by agent do any one or more of
the following:

 

(a)           Rights under PPSA, etc.  Exercise all of the rights and remedies granted to secured
parties under the PPSA and any other applicable statute, or otherwise available
to the Investor at law or in equity.

(c)           Take Possession.  Enter on any premises where any Collateral is located and take

law.

 

(d)           Use of Collateral.  Hold, store and keep idle, or operate, lease or otherwise use or

retain all earnings and other sums due or to become due from any Person in
respect of any of the Collateral.

 

(e)           Carry on Business.  Carry on, or concur in the carrying on of, any or all of the

give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any or all of the
Collateral (or contract to do any of the above), in one or more parcels at any

Investor or elsewhere, on such terms and conditions as the Investor may deem
advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for
future delivery.

 

(h)           Court-Approved Disposition of Collateral.  Apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the sale or
foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral.

 

(i)            File Claims. 
File such proofs of claim or other documents as may be necessary or
desirable to have the Investor’s claim lodged in any bankruptcy, winding-up,
liquidation, dissolution or other proceedings (voluntary or otherwise relating
to the Company).

 

(j)            Purchase by Investor.  At any public sale, and to the extent permitted by law on any
private sale, bid for and purchase any or all of the Collateral offered for
sale and, upon compliance with the terms of such sale, hold, retain and dispose
of such Collateral without any further accountability to the Company or any
other Person with respect to such holding, retention or disposition, except as
required by law.

 

(k)           Payment of Indebtedness.  Pay any liability secured by any Security Interest against any
Collateral.  The Company will upon
request reimburse the Investor for all such payments, such payments will form
part of the Indebtedness and will be secured by the Security Interests created

(l)            Appointment of Receiver Pursuant to
Agreement.  Appoint by instrument in writing one or more

Receiver from time to time.  To the
extent permitted by applicable law, any Receiver appointed by the Investor will
(for purposes relating to responsibility for the Receiver’s acts or omissions)
be considered to be the agent of the Company and not of the Investor.  The Investor may from time to time fix the
Receiver’s remuneration and the Company will be obliged to pay to the Investor,
acting reasonably, the amount of such remuneration.

 

(m)          Court-Appointed Receiver.  Apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a Receiver of the Company or of any or all of the Collateral.

 

6

 

10.           Enforcement
of Security.  Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement, the Investor agrees that in enforcing the security
constituted by this Agreement, the Investor shall exercise the remedies
available to it in the following order:

 

(a)           firstly, against the EDC Policy proceeds
for up to $350,000 of amounts owing to the Investor under the Note; and

 

(b)           secondly, against other Collateral.

 

11.           Application
of Proceeds.  All Proceeds of Collateral
received by the Investor or by a Receiver may be applied to discharge or
satisfy expenses (including the Receiver’s remuneration and other reasonable
expenses of enforcing the Investor’s rights under the Security Documents)
including but not limited to borrowings, taxes and other outgoings affecting
the Collateral or which are considered advisable by the Investor or the
Receiver to protect, preserve, repair, process, maintain or enhance the
Collateral or prepare it for sale, lease or other disposition, or to keep in
good standing any Security Interests on the Collateral ranking in priority to
any of the Security Interests created by this Agreement, or to sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral. 
The balance of such Proceeds may be held as collateral security for the
Indebtedness or be applied to such of the Indebtedness (whether or not the same
are due and payable) in such manner and at such times as the Investor considers
appropriate and thereafter will be accounted for as required by law.

 

12.           Continuing
Liability of Company.  The Company
will remain liable for any Indebtedness that are outstanding following
realization of all or any part of the Collateral and the application of the
Proceeds thereof.

 

13.           Investor’s  Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.  The Company constitutes and appoints the
Investor, and any officer or agent of the Investor, with full power of
substitution, as the Company’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power
and authority in the place of the Company and in the name of the Company or in
its own name, from time to time in the Investor’s discretion after a Default
and only for so long as such Default is continuing, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments as, in
the opinion of such attorney acting reasonably, may be necessary or desirable
to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. 
These powers are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this
Agreement is terminated and the Security Interests created by this Agreement
are released.  Nothing in this section
affects the right of the Investor or any other Person, to sign and file or
deliver (as applicable) all such financing statements, financing change
statements, notices, verification agreements and other documents relating to
the Collateral and this Agreement as the Investor or such other Person
considers appropriate, acting reasonably.

 

14.           Performance
by Investor of Company’s Obligations.  If
the Company fails to perform or comply with any of its obligations under this
Agreement, the Investor may, but need not, perform or otherwise cause the
performance or compliance of such obligation, provided that such performance or
compliance will not constitute a waiver, remedy or satisfaction of such
failure.  The reasonable expenses of the
Investor incurred in connection with any such performance or compliance will be
payable by the Company to the Investor, any such reasonable expenses will form
part of the Indebtedness and will be secured by the Security Interests created
by this Agreement.

 

7

 

15.           Right
of Set-Off.  The Investor may at any time
and from time to time after the occurrence of a Default, upon notice to the
Company or any other Person, set-off, appropriate and apply any and all
indebtedness and liabilities of the Investor  to the Company, liquidated,
unliquidated, contingent, matured or unmatured, against and on account of any
Indebtedness of any kind whatsoever, including for greater certainty
liquidated, unliquidated, contingent, matured or unmatured, in such order of
application as the Investor shall from time to time determine.

 

16.           Rights
of Investor and Limitations on Investor’s Obligations.

 

(a)           Limitations on Investor’s Liability.  The Investor will not be liable to the Company or any other
Person for any failure or delay in exercising any of its rights under this
Agreement (including any failure to take possession of, collect, sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of any Collateral, or to preserve rights against prior
parties). Neither the Investor nor a Receiver (including, in Alberta, any
sheriff) is required to take, or will have any liability for any failure to
take or delay in taking, any steps necessary or advisable to preserve rights
against other Persons under any Collateral in its possession.  Neither the Investor nor any Receiver will
be liable for any, and the Company will bear the full risk of all, loss or
damage to any and all of the Collateral (including any Collateral in the
possession of the Investor or any Receiver) caused for any reason other than
the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Investor or such Receiver.

 

(b)           Company Remains Liable under Accounts and
Contracts.  Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement, the Company will remain liable under each of the Accounts and
Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be
observed and performed by the Company thereunder, all in accordance with the
terms of any agreement giving rise to each such Account or in accordance with
and pursuant to the terms and provisions of each such Contract.  Neither the Investor nor any Receiver have
any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise
thereto) or Contact by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the
receipt by the Investor of any payment relating to such Account or Contract
pursuant hereto, and in particular (but without limitation), the Investor will
not be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Company
under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or
under or pursuant to any Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as
to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the
sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account (or any agreement
giving rise thereto) or under any Contract, to present or file any claim, to
take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any
amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at
any time.

 

(c)           Collections on Accounts and Contracts.  The Investor hereby authorizes the Company to collect the
Accounts and payments under the Contracts in the normal course of its business
and for the purpose of carrying on the same. 
All such amounts while held by the Investor and all income in respect
thereof will continue to be collateral security for the Indebtedness and will
not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided.  At such intervals as may be agreed upon by
the Company and

 

8

 

the Investor,
or, if a Default will have occurred and be continuing at any time or from time
to time, the Investor will apply all or any part of the accounts and payments
collected under the contracts on account of the Indebtedness in such order as
the Investor may elect.  At the Investor’s
request, the Company will deliver to the Investor any documents evidencing and
relating to the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Accounts and
Contracts, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

 

17.           Dealings
by Investor.  The Investor will not be
obliged to exhaust its recourse against any other Person or against any other
Security Interests it may hold in respect of the Indebtedness before realizing
upon or otherwise dealing with the Collateral in such manner as the Investor
may consider desirable.  The Investor
may grant extensions of time and other indulgences, take and give up security,
accept compositions, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with any
other Person, and with any or all of the Collateral, and with other security
and sureties, as the Investor may see fit, all without prejudice to the
Indebtedness or to the rights and remedies of the Investor under this
Agreement.  The powers conferred on the
Investor under this Agreement are solely to protect the respective interests of
the Investor in the Collateral and will not impose any duty upon the Investor
to exercise any such powers.

 

18.           Additional
Security.  The Security Interests created by this
Agreement are in addition and without prejudice to any other Security Interests
now or later held by the Investor.  No
Security Interests held by the Investor will be exclusive of or dependent upon
or merge in any other Security Interests, and the Investor may exercise its
rights under such Security Interests independently or in combination.
