If the Collateral at any time includes other Securities (other than shares in any affiliates of the Debtor), the Debtor authorizes the Creditor, upon default, to transfer the same or any part thereof into its own name or that of its nominee(s) so that the Creditor or its nominee(s) may appear of record as the sole owner thereof.

7.01    Until default, the Debtor reserves the right to receive any monies constituting income from or interest on the Collateral and if the Creditor receives any such monies prior to default, the Creditor shall either credit same against the Indebtedness or pay the same promptly to the Debtor.

 

7.02    After default, the Debtor will not request or receive any monies constituting income from or interest on the Collateral and if the Debtor receives any such monies without any request by it, the Debtor will pay the same promptly to the Creditor.

 

8. INCREASES, PROFITS, PAYMENTS OR DISTRIBUTIONS

 

8.01    Whether or not default has occurred, the Debtor authorizes the Creditor:

 

	
(a)  

	
to receive any increase in or profits on the Collateral (other than money) and to hold the same as part of the Collateral.  Money so received shall be treated as income for the purposes of sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof and dealt with accordingly; and

 

	
(b)  

	
to receive any payment or distribution upon redemption or retirement or upon dissolution and liquidation of the issuer of the Collateral; to surrender such Collateral in exchange therefor; and to hold any such payment or distribution as part of the Collateral.

 

8.02    If the Debtor receives any such increase or profits (other than money) or payments or distributions, the Debtor will deliver the same promptly to the Creditor to be held by the Creditor as herein provided.

 

9. DISPOSITION OF MONIES

10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

10.01    The happening of any of the following events or conditions shall constitute default hereunder which is herein referred to as “default”:

 

	
(a)  

	
the non-payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of any principal or interest forming part of the Indebtedness or the failure of the Debtor to observe or perform any obligation, covenant, term, provision or condition contained in this Security Agreement or any other agreement between the Debtor and the Creditor;

 

	
(b)  

	
the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Debtor; the filing against the Debtor of a petition in bankruptcy; the making of an authorized assignment or proposal for the benefit of creditors by the Debtor; the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Debtor or for any assets of the Debtor; or the institution by or against the Debtor of any other type of insolvency proceeding under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act or otherwise;

 

	
(c)  

	
the institution by or against the Debtor of any formal or informal proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of, settlement of claims against or winding up of affairs of the Debtor;

 

	
(d)  

	
if any Encumbrance affecting the Collateral becomes enforceable against the Collateral;

 

	
(e)  

	
if the Debtor ceases or threatens to cease to carry on business or makes or agrees to make a bulk sale of assets without complying with applicable law or commits or threatens to commit an act of bankruptcy;

if any execution, sequestration, extent or other process of any court becomes enforceable against the Debtor or if a distress or analogous process is levied upon the assets of the Debtor or any part thereof; or

11. ACCELERATION

 

11.01    The Creditor, in its sole discretion, may declare all or any part of the Indebtedness which is not by its terms payable on demand to be immediately due and payable, without demand or notice of any kind, in the event of default, or, if the Creditor in good faith believes and has commercially reasonable grounds to believe that a material adverse change has occurred in the financial and business position of the Debtor.  The provisions of this section 11.01 are not intended in any way to affect any right of the Creditor with respect to Indebtedness which may now or hereafter be payable on demand.

 

12. REMEDIES

 

12.01    Upon default, the Creditor may appoint or reappoint by instrument in writing, any person or persons, whether an officer or officers or an employee or employees of the Creditor or not, to be a receiver or receivers (hereinafter called a “Receiver”, which term when used herein shall include a receiver and manager) of the Collateral (including any interest, income or profits therefrom) and may remove any Receiver so appointed and appoint another in his stead.  Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for his acts, be deemed the agent of the Debtor and not the Creditor, and the Creditor shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence, or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver, his servants, agents or employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing him, any such Receiver shall have power to take possession of the Collateral, to preserve the Collateral or its value and to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of the Collateral.  To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may enter upon by peaceable or forcible means at any time of the day or night, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Debtor wherein the Collateral may be situate and maintain the Collateral upon such premises.  Except as may be otherwise directed by the Creditor, all monies received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to the Creditor.  Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of the Creditor, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of the Creditor.

 

12.02     Upon default, the Creditor may, either directly or through its agents or nominees, exercise all the powers and rights given to a Receiver by virtue of section 12.01 hereof.

 

12.03    The Creditor may take possession of, collect, demand, sue on, enforce, recover and receive the Collateral and give valid and binding receipts and discharges therefor and in respect thereof and, upon default, the Creditor may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in such manner, at such time or times and place or places, for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as to the Creditor may seem reasonable.

12.04    In addition to those rights granted herein and in any other agreement now or hereafter in effect between the Debtor and the Creditor and in addition to any other rights the Creditor may have at law or in equity, the Creditor shall have, both before and after default, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the P.P.S.A.  Provided always, that the Creditor shall not be liable or accountable for any failure to exercise its remedies, take possession of, collect, enforce, realize, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or to institute any proceedings for such purposes.  Furthermore, the Creditor shall have no obligation to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties to any Instrument or Chattel Paper, whether Collateral or Proceeds and whether or not in the Creditor's possession, and shall not be liable or accountable for failure to do so.

 

12.05    The Debtor acknowledges that the Creditor or any Receiver appointed by it may take possession of the Collateral wherever it may be located and by any method permitted by law and the Debtor agrees upon request from the Creditor or any such Receiver to assemble and deliver possession of the Collateral at such place or places as directed.

 

12.06    In the event of default, the Debtor agrees to pay all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the Creditor or any Receiver appointed by it, whether directly or for services rendered (including reasonable solicitors and auditors costs, other legal expenses and Receiver remuneration) enforcing this Security Agreement, taking and maintaining custody of, preserving, repairing, processing, preparing for dispositions and disposing of the Collateral and all such costs, charges and expenses shall be a first charge on the proceeds of realization, collection or disposition of the Collateral and shall be secured hereby.

 

12.07    Unless the Collateral in question is perishable, the Creditor believes on reasonable grounds that the Collateral in question will decline speedily in value, the Collateral in question is of the type customarily sold on a recognized market, the cost and storage of the Collateral is disproportionately large relative to its value or a court of competent jurisdiction orders otherwise, the Creditor will give the Debtor such notice, if any, of the date, time and place of any public sale or of the date after which any private disposition of the Collateral is to be made, as may be required by the P.P.S.A.

 

13. MISCELLANEOUS

 

13.01    The Debtor hereby authorizes the Creditor to file such financing statements, financing change statements and other documents and do such acts, matters and things (including completing and adding schedules hereto identifying the Collateral or any permitted Encumbrances affecting the Collateral or identifying the locations at which the Debtor's business is carried on and the Collateral and records relating thereto are situate) as the Creditor may deem appropriate to perfect on an ongoing basis and continue the Security Interest, to protect and preserve the Collateral and to realize upon the Security Interest and the Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints any officer or director from time to time of the Creditor the true and lawful attorney of the Debtor, with full power of substitution, to do any of the foregoing in the name of the Debtor whenever and wherever it may be deemed necessary or expedient.

 

13.02    Without limiting any other right of the Creditor, whenever Indebtedness is immediately due and payable or the Creditor has the right to declare Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable (whether or not it has so declared), the Creditor may, in its sole discretion, set off against such Indebtedness any and all monies then owed to the Debtor by the Creditor in any capacity, whether or not due, and the Creditor shall be deemed to have exercised such right of setoff immediately at the time of making its decision to do so even though any charge therefor is made or entered on the Creditor's records subsequent thereto.

 

13.03    Upon the Debtor's failure to perform any of its duties hereunder, the Creditor may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any or all of such duties, and the Debtor shall pay to the Creditor, forthwith upon written demand therefor, an amount equal to the expense incurred by the Creditor in so doing plus interest thereon from the date such expense is incurred until it is paid at the rate of 12% per annum.

 

13.04    The Creditor may grant extensions of time and other indulgences, take and give up security, accept compositions, compound, compromise, settle, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with the Debtor, debtors of the Debtor, sureties and others and with the Collateral without prejudice to the liability of the Debtor or the Creditor's right to hold and realize the Security Interest.  Furthermore, after default, the Creditor may demand, collect and sue on the Collateral in either the Debtor's or the Creditor's name, at the Creditor's option, and may endorse the Debtor's name on any and all cheques, commercial paper, and any other Instruments pertaining to or constituting the Collateral.

 

13.05    No delay or omission by the Creditor in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or with respect to any Indebtedness shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  Furthermore, the Creditor may remedy any default by the Debtor hereunder or with respect to any Indebtedness in any reasonable manner without waiving the default remedied and without waiving any other prior or subsequent default by the Debtor.  All rights and remedies of the Creditor granted or recognized herein are cumulative and may be exercised at any time and from time to time independently or in combination.

 

13.06    The Debtor waives protest, notice of protest, notice of presentment and notice of dishonour of any Instrument constituting the Collateral at any time held by the Creditor on which the Debtor is in any way liable and subject to section 12.07 hereof, notice of any other action taken by the Creditor.
