ARTICLE 2 GRANT OF SECURITY
As general and continuing security for the due payment, observance, and performance by any Debtors of all Obligations, each Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party a Security Interest in the Collateral.
The parties acknowledge that (a) each Debtor has rights in their respective Collateral, (b) the Secured Party has given value to any Debtors, (c) the parties have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of the Security Interest, and (d) the Security Interest is intended to attach
(i) as to Collateral in which a Debtor now has rights, when such Debtor executes this agreement and (ii) as to Collateral in which a Debtor subsequently acquires rights, when such Debtor first obtains those rights.
The Secured Party may, at its discretion and at any time, release from the Security Interest any of the Collateral or any other security or surety for the Obligations either with or without sufficient consideration for that Collateral without releasing any other part of the Collateral or any Person from this agreement.
The Secured Party may, if a Default exists, notify and direct any Account Debtor of any Debtor to make payment directly to the Secured Party. The Secured Party may, at its discretion, apply the amounts received from any Account Debtor of any Debtor and any proceeds in accordance with section 7.24 (Application of payments) or hold them as part of the Collateral.
LEGAL*53308082.1
consent. Such Debtor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain that consent as soon as reasonably practicable.
(c) | To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Debtor shall hold in trust for the Secured Party and, after a Default occurs, provide the Secured Party with the benefits of, each agreement, right, Licence, or permit and enforce all Related Rights at the direction of and for the benefit of the Secured Party or at the direction of any other Person that the Secured Party may designate. |
Each Debtor grants the Security Interest in the Intellectual Property only as security. Before the Security Interest becomes enforceable under this agreement, the Secured Party will not be or be deemed to be the owner of any of the Intellectual Property. Further, the Secured Party will not be deemed to have assumed, or be deemed to be liable for, any covenant, agreement, or other obligation of any Debtor under any agreement, right, Licence, or permit relating to the Intellectual Property to which any Debtor is a party.
If the Collateral subsequently becomes part of a product or mass to which the security interest of another secured party attaches, the Security Interest will extend to all accounts, Replacements, or proceeds arising from any dealing with such product or mass.
Once any Debtor (or any Debtors) satisfies the Obligations in full, the Secured Party shall, within a reasonable time after it receives a written request from any Debtor, release the Security Interest and execute and deliver any releases and discharges that any Debtor may reasonably require. The Debtors shall pay all expenses incurred by the Secured Party in doing so.
ARTICLE 3 DEBTOR’S COVENANTS
The Debtors shall keep the Collateral in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
LEGAL*53308082.1
The Debtors shall keep the Collateral free of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. The Debtors shall defend the title of the Collateral against any Person. The Secured Party may, at any time, contest the validity, effect, perfection, or priority of any Lien. No Lien may rank in priority to or pari passu with the Security Interest, except for Permitted Liens. Nothing in this agreement is intended to create any rights (including subordination rights or any release of Security Interest) in favour of any Person other than the Secured Party, any Receiver, and the other Indemnified Parties.
From and after the first date on which the Secured Party exercises any remedies under Article 7 (Rights and Remedies), each Debtor shall hold any accounts, dividends, distributions, interest, proceeds, and other income that it collects in respect of the Collateral as agent and in trust for the Secured Party separate and apart from all its other property. Such Debtor shall pay any such amounts to the Secured Party immediately upon receipt.
The Debtors shall prevent the Collateral from becoming (a) an accession to any personal property not subject to this agreement or (b) affixed to any real property unless the Security Interest ranks prior to the interests of another Person in the realty.
(a) | The Debtors shall give Notice to the Secured Party |
(ii) | at least 10 Business Days prior to (A) any change of name of any Debtor and (B) any change in or addition to the location of Collateral from those locations referred to in section 5.03 (Location of Collateral), and |
Each Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party any information concerning the Collateral or any Debtor that the Secured Party may reasonably request.
LEGAL*53308082.1
Each Debtor shall keep proper Documents and shall keep the Documents at the locations specified in Schedule A (Location of Debtor and Collateral).

The Secured Party shall keep confidential any information that the Secured Party obtains from that inspection, except as required by the Secured Party in exercising its rights under this agreement.
Each Debtor shall perform all covenants required under any Third Party Agreement (including promptly paying all required fees, royalties, and taxes) to maintain every item of Intellectual Property in full force and effect, except where noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Debtor shall vigorously protect, preserve, and maintain all of the value of, and all of the right, title, and interest of any Debtor in, the Intellectual Property owned by such Debtor (including the prosecution and defence against any suits concerning the validity, infringement, enforceability, ownership, or other aspects affecting any of the Intellectual Property), except where noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
At the request of the Secured Party, each Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party all items of Collateral that are chattel paper, instruments, or negotiable documents of title, endorsed to the Secured Party or in blank by an effective endorsement, as the Secured Party may reasonably request.
Each Debtor herby authorizes and if so required by the Secured Party shall make all necessary filings, registrations, and other recordations to protect the interest of the Secured Party in the Collateral (including all recordations in connection with patents, trade-marks, and copyrights forming part of the Intellectual Property), except where noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Debtor shall cause its representatives to immediately register, file, and record this agreement, or notice of this agreement, on behalf of the Secured Party at all proper offices where, in the opinion of counsel to the Secured Party, registration, filing, or recordation may be necessary or advantageous to create, perfect, preserve, or protect the Security Interest in the Collateral and its priority. Each Debtor shall subsequently cause its representatives to maintain all those registrations, filings, and recordations on behalf of the Secured Party in full force and effect (including by making timely payment of any renewal or maintenance fees).
LEGAL*53308082.1
connection with all claims, losses, and expenses that an Indemnified Party may suffer or incur in connection with
except that any Debtor will not be obliged to indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent those claims, losses, and expenses are determined by a final judgment to have directly resulted from the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Party.
The Secured Party or any assignee of the Secured Party may set off or apply against, or combine with, the Obligations any indebtedness owing by the Secured Party or any assignee of the Secured Party to any Debtor, direct or indirect, extended or renewed, actual or contingent, mutual or not, at any time before, upon, or after maturity, without demand upon or notice to anyone, and the terms of that indebtedness and Obligations will be changed to the extent necessary to permit and give effect to the set-off, application, and combination.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Debtor shall waive all of the rights, benefits, conditions, warranties, and protections given by the provisions of any existing or future statute that imposes limitations upon the rights of a secured party or upon the methods of realization of Security Interest.
ARTICLE 4 DEBTOR’S RIGHTS
Except as permitted by the Debenture, no Debtor shall sell, exchange, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of, grant a lien on, or deal in any way with the Collateral, or enter into any agreement or undertaking to do so.

However, the Secured Party will not be responsible for any act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or default of any Receiver.
The Secured Party, or any Receiver appointed by the Secured Party in the enforcement of the Security Interest, may hold all payments made in connection with the Obligations and all monies
LEGAL*53308082.1
received as security for the Obligations (including each Recovery), or may apply those payments or monies in whatever manner they determine at their discretion.

Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will be liable or responsible for any claim, loss, and expense flowing from any failure resulting from any act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or default of the Secured Party, any Receiver, or any of their respective representatives or otherwise. If any Receiver or the Secured Party takes possession of any Collateral, neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will have any liability as a mortgagee in possession of the Collateral or be accountable for anything except actual receipts. Further, the Secured Party will not be deemed to have assumed, or be deemed to be liable for, any covenant, agreement, or other obligation of any Debtor under any agreement, right, Licence, or permit to which any Debtor is a party.
The Secured Party and any Receiver may grant renewals, extensions of time, and other indulgences, take and give up Liens, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges, perfect or fail to perfect any Liens, release any Collateral to third parties, and otherwise deal or fail to deal with the Collateral, other Liens, any Debtor, debtors of any Debtor, guarantors of any Debtor, sureties of any Debtor, and others as the Secured Party or such Receiver may see fit, all without prejudice to the Obligations and the rights of the Secured Party or any Receiver to hold and realize upon the Security Interest. However, no extension of time, forbearance, indulgence, or other accommodation will operate as a waiver, alteration, or amendment of the Secured Party’s rights or otherwise preclude the Secured Party from enforcing those rights and nothing in this agreement obligates the Secured Party to extend the time for payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations.
If any Debtor fails to perform any Obligations, the Secured Party or any Receiver may perform those Obligations as attorney for any Debtor in accordance with section 7.20 (Power of attorney). The rights conferred on the Secured Party and any Receiver under this agreement are for the purpose of protecting the Security Interest in the Collateral and do not impose any obligation upon the Secured Party or any Receiver to exercise any of those rights. Each Debtor will remain liable under each agreement to which it is party or by which it or any of its businesses, undertaking, and properties is bound and shall perform all of its obligations under
LEGAL*53308082.1
each of those agreements; any Debtor will not be released from any of its obligations under any agreement by the exercise of any rights by the Secured Party or any Receiver.
No Person dealing with the Secured Party, any Receiver, or any representative of the Secured Party or any Receiver has any obligation to enquire whether the Security has become enforceable, whether any right of the Secured Party or any Receiver has become exercisable, whether any Obligations remain outstanding, or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of any dealing by the Secured Party or any Receiver with any Collateral or to see to the application of any money paid to the Secured Party or any Receiver. In the absence of fraud on the part of any Person, those dealings will be deemed to be within the rights conferred under this agreement and to be valid and effective accordingly.
Nothing in this agreement obligates the Secured Party to make any loan or accommodation to any Debtor or to extend the time for payment or satisfaction of any Obligation.
