Personal Property Securities Act The Customer acknowledges that under the Contract the Customer grants a Security Interest(s) to the Company, including but not limited to, the lien in Clause 6. The Customer acknowledges that the Contract constitutes a Security Agreement for the purposes of the PPS Act. The Guarantor acknowledges that under the Guarantee the Guarantor grants a Security Interest(s) to the Company, including (without limitation) a charge over all its property. The Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantee constitutes a Security Agreement for the purposes of the PPS Act. If there is a Security Interest in favour of the Customer or the Guarantor and the Customer or the Guarantor proposes to register the Security Interest under the PPS Act, the Customer or the Guarantor (as applicable) must give the Company written notice prior to the registration that the Customer or the Guarantor (as applicable) proposes to register the Security Interest. The Customer and the Guarantor will do anything reasonably required by the Company to enable the Company to register its Security Interests, with the priority the Company requires, and to maintain the registration. The Security Interests arising under the Contract or the Guarantee attach to the Collateral in accordance with section 19(2) of the PPS Act and the parties confirm that they have not agreed that any Security Interest arising under the Contract or the Guarantee attaches at any later time. The Customer and the Guarantor each acknowledge that the Company may perfect its Security Interests by lodging a Financing Statement on the Personal Property Securities Register. To the extent that any of the enforcement provisions of Chapter 4 of the PPS Act apply to the Security Interests created under or referred to in the Contract or the Guarantee, the following provisions of the PPS Act will not apply:
(i) section 95 (notice of removal of accession), to the extent that it requires the secured party to give a notice to the grantor;
(ii) subsection 121(4) (enforcement of liquid assets – notice to grantor);
(iii) section 130 (notice of disposal), to the extent that it requires the secured party to give the grantor a notice;
(iv) paragraph 132(3)(d) (contents of statement of account after disposal);
(v) subsection 132(4) (statement of account if no disposal);
(vi) section 135 (notice of retention);
(vii) section 142 (redemption of collateral); and
(viii) section 143 (reinstatement of security agreement). The Company does not need to give the Customer or the Guarantor any notice under the PPS Act (including a notice of a Verification Statement) unless the notice is required by the PPS Act and that requirement cannot be excluded. The parties agree that neither party will disclose to an “interested person” (as defined in section 275(9) of the PPS Act) or any other person, any information of the kind described in section 275(1) of the PPS Act. The Customer and the Guarantor will not authorise the disclosure of any information of the kind described in section 275(1) of the PPS Act.
Compliance with Securities Act The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant, and the Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any Shares except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the Shares being acquired are registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, the holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the Shares so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company. This Warrant and all Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: “THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS RELATED THERETO, (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED, (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, OR (iv) OTHERWISE COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7 OF THE WARRANT UNDER WHICH THESE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.” Said legend shall be removed by the Company, upon the request of a holder, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security shall have terminated. In addition, in connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the holder specifically represents to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:
(1) The holder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired information about the Company sufficient to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this Warrant. The holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof in violation of the Act.
(2) The holder understands that this Warrant has not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the holder’s investment intent as expressed herein.
(3) The holder further understands that this Warrant must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration and qualification are otherwise available. The holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Act.
