certificates and reports respecting all or any of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), the items or amounts received by Debtor in full or partial payment of any of the Collateral, and any goods (the sale

therein. 

  

	9.	AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. This Agreement may be amended, modified or terminated only in writing duly executed by Debtor and Bank. No delay by Bank in requiring Debtor’s compliance
herewith shall constitute a waiver of such right. The rights granted to Bank hereunder are cumulative, and in addition to any other rights Bank may have by agreement or under applicable law. This Agreement shall supersede and replace in their
entirety any prior advance formula agreements in effect between Bank and Debtor. 

  

	10.	DEMAND BASIS FORMULA LOANS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that the Formula Loans are at any time on a demand basis, Debtor

	11.	DILUTION OF ACCOUNTS. In the event that Bank, at any time in its sole discretion, determines that the dollar amount of Eligible Accounts collectable by Debtor is reduced or diluted
as a result of discounts or rebates granted by Debtor to the respective Account Debtor(s), returned or rejected Inventory or services, or such other reasons or factors as Bank deems applicable, Bank may, in its sole discretion, upon five
(5) business days’ prior written notice to Debtor, reduce or otherwise modify the percentage of Eligible Accounts included within the Advance Formula under paragraph 2(a) above and/or reduce the dollar amount of Debtor’s Eligible
Accounts by an amount determined by Bank in its sole discretion.

	13.	GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and of Canada applicable therein and the parties
attorn to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario. 

  

	14.	COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in as many counterparts as may be necessary and delivered by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and such
counterparts together shall constitute one and the same document.
