2 |
(b) Interest Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the GameSquare Parties shall pay all interest payable pursuant to Section 2(a) (other than amounts described in the proviso thereto) by issuing to Holder shares of Common Stock (the “Interest Shares”) in the amounts and upon the terms set forth in this Section 2(b). The number of Interest Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be determined by dividing (x) the aggregate amount of any accrued and unpaid interest under this Note as of the Interest Payment Date, and (y) the Conversion Price. The Interest Shares shall be issuable as of the Interest Payment Date. GameSquare shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. All calculations under this Section 2(b) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, GameSquare shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.
(c) Adjustment to Conversion Price. Solely for purposes of the payment of Interest Shares hereunder, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2(c) (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 2(c)).
(i) Adjustment to Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 2(c)(ii) and except in the case of an event described in either Section 2(c)(iv) or Section 2(c)(v)], if GameSquare shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 2(c)(iii) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to a Conversion Price equal to the lowest price per share at which any such share of Common Stock has been issued or sold (or is deemed to have been issued or sold); provided, that if such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) was without consideration, then GameSquare shall be deemed to have received an aggregate of $0.01 of consideration for all such shares so issued or deemed to be issued.
(ii) Exceptions To Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price with respect to any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale in accordance with Section 2(c)(iii)) by GameSquare after the Issuance Date of shares of Common Stock (as such number of shares is equitably adjusted for subsequent stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, and recapitalizations) issued directly or upon the exercise of Options to directors, officers, employees, or consultants of GameSquare in connection with their service as directors of GameSquare, their employment by GameSquare, or their retention as consultants by GameSquare, in each case authorized by the Board or Directors of GameSquare and issued pursuant to GameSquare’s equity incentive plans (an “Excluded Issuance”).
(iii) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Conversion Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 2(c)(i), the following shall be applicable:
3 |
(1) Issuance of Options. If GameSquare shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the lowest price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 2(c)(iii)(4)) for which any one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon the exercise of any such Option is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then such share of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Option or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Security issuable upon the exercise of such Option shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price under Section 2(c)(i)), at a price per share equal to such lowest price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(c)(iii)(1), the lowest price per share for which any one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon the exercise of any such Option shall be equal to the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2(c)(i)) of the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by GameSquare as consideration with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon each of (A) the granting or sale of the Option, plus (B) the exercise of the Option, plus (C) in the case of an Option which relates to Convertible Securities, the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Security. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(c)(iii)(3), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options.
(2) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If GameSquare shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the lowest price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 2(c)(iii)(4)) for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then such share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Security shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price under Section 2(c)(i)), at a price per share equal to such lowest price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(c)(iii)(2), the lowest price per share for which any one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Security shall be equal to the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2(c)(i)) of the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by GameSquare as consideration with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon each of (A) the granting or sale of the Convertible Security, plus (B) the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Security. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(c)(iii)(3), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Conversion Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2(c)(iii).
4 |
(3) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by GameSquare as consideration with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2(c)(iii)(1) or Section 2(c)(iii)(2), (B) the lowest amounts of additional consideration, if any, payable to GameSquare with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2(c)(iii)(1) or Section 2(c)(iii)(2), (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2(c)(iii)(1) or Section 2(c)(iii)(2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 2(c)(iii)(1) or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2(c)(iii)(2) (in each case, other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance), then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 2(c)) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(c) had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate, or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment the Conversion Price then in effect is reduced.
(4) Calculation of Consideration Received. If GameSquare shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 2(c)(iii), any shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the gross amount received by GameSquare therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by GameSquare shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by GameSquare shall be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association, or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of GameSquare, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be $0.01; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which GameSquare is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Board of Directors of GameSquare and the Holder.
(5) Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the Conversion Price in accordance with this Section 2(c), in case GameSquare shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(6) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of GameSquare or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among GameSquare and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 2(c).
5 |
(7) Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2(c)(iii), if GameSquare shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of GameSquare (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock), cash, or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a)(i), in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of GameSquare, cash, or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note been exercised in full into shares of Common Stock on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities, cash, or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 2(c) with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities, cash, or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities, cash, or other property as the Holder would have received if this Note had been exercised in full into shares of Common Stock on the date of such event.
(iv) Adjustment to Conversion Price Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If GameSquare shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of GameSquare payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution, or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced. If GameSquare at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(c)(iv) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision, or combination becomes effective.
(v) Adjustment to Conversion Price Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of GameSquare, (ii) reclassification of the stock of GameSquare (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up, or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of GameSquare with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of GameSquare’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 2(c)(iv)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, this Note shall, subject to Section 6(g), immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, be appropriately adjusted (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Note to insure that the provisions of Section 3(c) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Note in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter payable under this Note (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than GameSquare, an immediate adjustment in the Conversion Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 2(c)(v) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, or similar transactions. Subject to Section 6(g), GameSquare shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than GameSquare) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to pay to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder is entitled to receive.
6 |
(vi) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2(c) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights, or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board of Directors of GameSquare shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 2(c); provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c)(vi) shall increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2(c).
(vii) Certificate as to Adjustment.
(1) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, but in any event not later than 5 Business Days thereafter, GameSquare shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.
(2) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by GameSquare of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than 5 Business Days thereafter, GameSquare shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Conversion Price then in effect.
(viii) Notices. In the event:
(1) that GameSquare shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or
(2) of any capital reorganization of GameSquare, any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of GameSquare with or into another Person, or any sale of all or substantially all of GameSquare’s assets to another Person; or
(3) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of GameSquare;
then, and in each such case, GameSquare shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least 5 Business Days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent, or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution, or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of GameSquare shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to this Note and the Interest Shares.
7 |
(d) Default Rate. The GameSquare Parties shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon) on the outstanding Principal amount of this Note and all other Secured Obligations (including any past due interest) then outstanding at an interest rate per annum at all times equal to 10.00% (the “Default Rate”) automatically upon the occurrence of any Event of Default to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. All such interest accruing under this Section 2(c) upon and following the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be due and payable in cash on demand by the Holder. The imposition of the Default Rate is in addition to, and not in lieu of, Xxxxxx’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Holder may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Holder of carrying an obligation that is in default. Each of the GameSquare Parties agrees that the imposition of the Default Rate is a reasonable forecast of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Holder, and that the actual harm incurred by the Holder cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.
(e) Exchange Regulations. GameSquare shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise or conversion or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Note without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Primary Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the GameSquare (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Primary Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to GameSquare that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of the Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Note, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the Exchange Cap as of the Issuance Date.
3. CONVERSION; EXCHANGE.
(a) Optional Conversion or Exchange. If the Note remains outstanding (x) on or after December 31, 2025, (y) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (z) upon the receipt of a Change in Control Notice, the Holder may, at any time thereafter prior to the Election Deadline, elect by written notice to the GameSquare Companies to:
(i) convert the Note into Common Stock, in which case the Note shall automatically be converted on the Conversion Date into an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Amount as of the Conversion Date divided by the Conversion Price; or
(ii) exchange the Note for the FaZe Media Shares, in which case the Note shall automatically be exchanged on the Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(c).
As a result of a conversion or exchange pursuant to this Section 3(a), the outstanding Principal amount of this Note, and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be deemed paid in full.
(b) Notice of Election to Convert or Exchange. At any time after December 31, 2025, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or prospective consummation of a Change of Control, and prior to 5:00 p.m. on the date that is three Trading Days prior to the Maturity Date (the “Election Deadline”), the Holder may, by written notice to the GameSquare Parties, elect that, on the date specified in such notice (which must be prior to the Maturity Date) or the date of the consummation of a Change of Control (as applicable, the “Conversion Date”), (i) the Note be converted into shares of Common Stock, in which case the Note shall automatically be converted to Common Stock on the Conversion Date pursuant to Section 3(a)(i), or (ii) exchanged for the FaZe Media Shares, in which case the Note shall automatically be exchanged for the FaZe Media Shares (and any Additional FaZe Media Property) on the Conversion Date pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii) and Section 3(c).
8 |
(c) FaZe Media Shares Exchange. If the Holder has made an election in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii), then, on the Conversion Date, the Holder shall surrender this Note to GameSquare (on behalf of the GameSquare Parties) and, in exchange:
(i) each of the GameSquare Parties shall transfer, and shall be deemed to have transferred, to the Holder all of its right, title and interest in and to (A) the FaZe Media Shares and (B) all Additional FaZe Media Property received by, or on behalf or for the benefit of, any GameSquare Party after the Issuance Date, in each case, free and clear of any and all Liens other than the A-1 Call Right (as defined in the Game-Banks Purchase Agreement) (the “FaZe Media Transfer”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no other rights or obligations of GameSquare SPV under the Game-Banks Purchase Agreement shall be assigned or transferred to the Holder;
(ii) each of the GameSquare Parties shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (if applicable) to, take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law or as requested by the Holder to consummate and make effective the FaZe Media Transfer, including executing and delivering such further documents and instruments and obtaining from governmental authorities and other Persons all consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders as are necessary for the consummation thereof, including, without limitation, (A) identifying on its books and records the FaZe Media Transfer, (B) using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the FaZe Media Shares and any Additional FaZe Media Property to be registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, including by instructing FaZe Media or the applicable issuer of any other Equity Interests to register the FaZe Media Transfer on its books and records, by book-entry, on Carta, or otherwise, (C) conveying to the Holder all proceeds, cash, securities, dividends, instruments or other distributions and any other right or property evidencing, constituting or otherwise comprising the FaZe Media Shares and/or any Additional FaZe Media Property received by any GameSquare Party after the Issuance Date, (D) executing and/or delivering any instruments, and (E) executing and delivering any instruments or documents necessary to release any and all Liens, if any, on the FaZe Media Shares or any Additional FaZe Media Property so transferred, other than the A-1 Call Right (as defined in the Game-Banks Purchase Agreement);
(iii) the Holder may exercise any and all rights privileges or options pertaining to the FaZe Media Shares or any Additional FaZe Media Property in its possession as the absolute owner thereof; and
(iv) GameSquare and FaZe Media shall amend and restate the License Agreement upon the terms and in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
(d) Fractional Securities. GameSquare shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion pursuant to Section 3(a)(i). All calculations under this Section 3 shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001. If the issuance pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, GameSquare shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.
4. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
(a) An “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) shall have occurred:
(i) any representation, warranty or statement made or furnished by or on behalf of any GameSquare Party in or in connection with any Transaction Document shall be false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect on the date made or furnished; or
9 |
(ii) default in the payment of Principal of the Note or accrued interest thereon when due and the GameSquare Parties’ failure to cure such default within ten (10) days of written notice thereof; or

5. SECURITY

To secure the payment and performance in full of all of the indebtedness, obligations, liabilities and undertakings of the GameSquare Parties to the Holder, of any kind or description, individually or collectively, whether direct or indirect, joint or several, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, voluntary or involuntary, now existing or hereafter arising (including all interest, fees (including attorneys’ fees), costs and expenses that the GameSquare Parties are hereby or otherwise required to pay and perform pursuant to this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, by law or otherwise accruing before and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to any GameSquare Party, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest, fees or expenses is allowed in such proceeding), irrespective of whether for the payment of money, under or in respect of this Note, the Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including instruments or agreements executed and delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), each of the GameSquare Parties hereby pledges to the Holder, and hereby collaterally assigns, mortgages, transfers, hypothecates and grants to the Holder a continuing security interest in, all of such GameSquare Party’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following property and assets, wherever located, whether such GameSquare Party now has or hereafter acquires an ownership or other interest or power to transfer (all of which are collectively referred to as the “Collateral”):

(b) Priority of Security Interest. The GameSquare Parties represent and warrant to the Holder and covenant that the security interest granted herein is, and until the cancellation of this Note shall at all times continue to be, a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral.
(c) Perfection of Security Interest and Further Assurances.
(i) Each GameSquare Party hereby agrees that (A) such GameSquare Party shall deliver to the Holder (or its representative) all security certificates evidencing the FaZe Media Shares (if any) held by such GameSquare Party as of the Issuance Date, and (B) if any GameSquare Party shall receive, by virtue of such GameSquare Party being or having been an owner of any Pledged Interests or any other Collateral consisting of any (1) Equity Interest certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing an Equity Interest dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock split, spin-off or split-off), (2) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or in exchange for, any Pledged Interests, or otherwise, or (3) dividends, distributions, cash, Instruments, Investment Property and other Proceeds or property, including in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, such GameSquare Party shall receive such Equity Interest certificate, Instrument, option, right, payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Holder, shall segregate it from such GameSquare Party’s other property and shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days) deliver the same to the Holder (or his representative), in the exact form received, to be held as Collateral, in each case, together with (I) duly executed instruments of assignment or transfer in blank, and (II) with respect to the FaZe Media Shares and any other Pledged Interests constituting Equity Interests, a duly executed irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, and a duly acknowledged Issuer Acknowledgment from each Pledged Issuer, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. If any Collateral consist of Uncertificated Securities, unless the immediately following sentence is applicable thereto, the applicable GameSquare Party shall cause (x) the Holder (or its designated custodian or nominee) to become the registered holder thereof, or (y) each issuer of such securities to agree that it will comply with instructions originated by the Holder with respect to such securities without further consent by such GameSquare Party. If any Collateral consists of security entitlements, such GameSquare Party shall (x) transfer such security entitlements to the Holder (or its custodian, nominee or other designee), or (y) cause the applicable securities intermediary to agree that it will comply with entitlement orders by the Holder without further consent by such GameSquare Party.
(ii) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any action that the Holder may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, each GameSquare Party hereby (A) authorizes the Holder (or its designee) at any time, and from time to time, to file one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such financing statements that (1) describe the Collateral, and (2) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment), and (B) ratifies such authorization to the extent that the Holder has filed any such financing statements, continuation statements, or amendments thereto, prior to the date hereof. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by applicable law.
12 |
(iii) At any time and from time to time, at the expense of the GameSquare Parties, the GameSquare Parties will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, obtain such agreements from third parties and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Holder may reasonably request, in order to create or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of, and protect any security interest, granted or purported to be granted hereby, or to enable the Holder to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any other agreement with respect to any Collateral. The GameSquare Parties hereby authorize the Holder to file or record any document necessary to perfect, continue, amend or terminate its security interest in the Collateral, including any financing statements (including amendments) authorized to be filed under the UCC or the Uniform Commercial Code of any other jurisdiction, without signature of the GameSquare Parties where permitted by law, including the filing of a financing statement describing the Collateral as the FaZe Media Shares, including all related Stock Rights and all governance, management, control, voting and approval rights and interests and other similar rights and interests, or words of similar effect. The GameSquare Parties also hereby ratify any previously filed documents or recordings regarding the Collateral, including any and all previously filed financing statements.
(d) Voting Rights and Distributions.
(i) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each GameSquare Party will be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Shares or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Note or the other Transaction Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default: (i) all rights of each GameSquare Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Holder, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Holder may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Shares or any other Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Shares or any other Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of any Pledged Shares or other Collateral, or upon the exercise by any Pledged Shares or other Collateral of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Shares or other Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Shares or other Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as the Holder may determine. In order to permit the Holder to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each GameSquare Party will promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Holder all such proxies and other instruments as the Holder may from time to time reasonably request.
(ii) If, at any time prior to the payment in full of this Note, any GameSquare Party shall receive any dividend, interest or other distribution paid in respect of the FaZe Media Shares or any other Pledged Interest, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Pledged Interests or other Collateral, or received in exchange therefor, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which the issuer thereof may be a party or otherwise, such dividend, interest or other distribution shall be and become part of the Collateral, and, if received by a GameSquare Party, shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Holder, shall be segregated from other funds and property of such GameSquare Party, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Holder in accordance with the terms of Section 5(c)(i) as Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Holder as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations. In order to permit the Holder to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, each GameSquare Party will promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Holder all such proxies, dividend payment orders, and other instruments as the Holder may from time to time reasonably request.
13 |
(e) Holder Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each GameSquare Party hereby appoints the Holder its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such GameSquare Party and in the name of such GameSquare Party, or otherwise, from time to time in the Holder’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of this Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents that the Holder may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but the Holder shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such GameSquare Party or any third party for failure to so do or take action), including, without limitation, (i) to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such GameSquare Party representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the FaZe Media Shares or other Collateral and to give full discharge for the same, and (ii) to vote the FaZe Media Shares and any and all other Collateral constituting Investment Property owned or held by such GameSquare Party or standing in its name and to do all things which such GameSquare Party might do if present and acting himself, including such rights set forth in Section 5(d) hereof or elsewhere herein (including, without limitation, rights of sale). The proxy and powers granted by such GameSquare Party pursuant to this Section 5(e) are IRREVOCABLE and coupled with an interest (including but not limited to this Note and the Purchase Agreement) and are given to secure the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5(e) to the contrary, the Holder agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney or the irrevocable proxy provided for in this Section 5(e) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each GameSquare Party hereby ratifies all that any such attorney lawfully (in accordance with applicable law) does or causes to be done by virtue of that authority.
(f) Holder may Perform. Upon prior written notice to the applicable GameSquare Party in accordance with Section 8.5 of the Purchase Agreement, if the GameSquare Party fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in this Security Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Holder, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, at the sole cost and expense of the applicable GameSquare Party.
(g) Irrevocable. All powers, proxies, authorizations, and agencies contained in this Security Agreement are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the Secured Obligations and are irrevocable until the Note is indefeasibly paid in full and terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
14 |
(h) Remedies Upon an Event of Default.
(i) Generally. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Holder may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC or other applicable law (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into Holder’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Holder has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Holder, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, and (ii) without notice (subject to the immediately succeeding sentence) Dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Holder’s offices, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Holder may reasonably deem commercially reasonable. The Holder may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and the Holder will be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Holder at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale will hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of each GameSquare Party, and each GameSquare Party hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each GameSquare Party agrees that, to the extent notice of Disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to such GameSquare Party of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private Disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Holder shall not be obligated to make any Disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Holder may adjourn any public or private Disposition from time to time by announcement prior to or at the time and place fixed therefor, and such Disposition may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each GameSquare Party hereby waives any claims against the Holder arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private Disposition was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public Disposition or was less than the aggregate amount of the obligations owing under this Note, even if Holder accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that such GameSquare Party may have to require that all or any part of the Collateral be marshaled upon any Disposition (public or private) thereof. The Holder shall not be required to marshal any collateral security for, or other assurances of payment of, the outstanding Secured Obligations, and all of Holder’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.
(ii) Pledged Interests. Each GameSquare Party recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Holder may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each GameSquare Party acknowledges that any such private placement may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a sale without such restrictions (including an offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, such GameSquare Party agrees that any such private placement will not be deemed, in and of itself, to be commercially unreasonable and that the Holder will have no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of the Collateral to register it for a form of sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.
(iii) Cash; Deficiency. Any cash held by the Holder (or his agent or designee) as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Holder in respect of any Disposition of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied by the Holder against the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Note. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Holder and remaining after the date on which all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full shall be paid over to the GameSquare Parties. In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Holder is legally entitled, the GameSquare Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency.
15 |
(iv) Waivers. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each GameSquare Party absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Holder, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each GameSquare Party hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind or all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.
(v) Continuing Security Interest. This Security Agreement will create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and will (i) remain in full force and effect until the earlier of the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, or conversion or exchange of the Note in accordance with Section 3, (ii) be binding upon each GameSquare Party and its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of the Holder and his successors, transferees, and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), but subject to the provisions of this Note, each assignee of this Note will become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Holder herein.
(i) Disposition of Collateral. Without the prior written consent of the Holder, no GameSquare Party shall, directly or indirectly, (i) grant, pledge, assign or otherwise provide a Lien on any of the Collateral (other than the Lien in favor of the Holder hereunder), (ii) provide any Person (other than the Holder), or allow any Person (other than the Holder) to obtain, “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) of any of the Collateral or (iii) convey, transfer, lease or otherwise Dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) any of the Collateral.
(j) Termination of Security Interest. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Note, (i) all liens in the Collateral granted by the GameSquare Parties in favor of the Holder under, or pursuant to, this Note shall automatically be terminated and released without any further action by any person or entity and all rights therein shall revert to the GameSquare Parties and (ii) the Holder will, at the GameSquare Parties’ sole cost and expense, release its liens in the Collateral and execute and deliver to the GameSquare Parties such documents reasonably requested by the GameSquare Parties to evidence such release.
6. OTHER PROVISIONS.
(a) All calculations under this Section 6 shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.
(b) So long as this Note remains outstanding, GameSquare shall have reserved from its duly authorized share capital, and shall have instructed its transfer agent to irrevocably reserve, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) this Note is convertible at the Conversion Price as of the date of determination, (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Note set forth herein or therein (the “Required Reserve Amount”)), provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 6(b) be reduced other than pursuant to the conversion of this Note in accordance with their terms, and/or cancellation, or reverse stock split. If at any time while this Note remains outstanding, GameSquare does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy the obligation to reserve for issuance the Required Reserve Amount, GameSquare will promptly take all corporate action necessary to increase its authorized share capital necessary to meet GameSquare’s obligations pursuant to this Note. GameSquare covenants that, upon issuance in accordance with conversion of this Note in accordance with its terms, the shares of Common Stock, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
16 |
(c) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 4 herein for the GameSquare Parties’ failure to deliver certificates or issue book entries representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion or delivering the FaZe Media Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
(d) Legal Opinions. GameSquare is obligated to cause its legal counsel to deliver legal opinions to GameSquare’s transfer agent in connection with any legend removal upon the expiration of any holding period or other requirement for which the Underlying Shares may bear legends restricting the transfer thereof. To the extent that a legal opinion is not provided (either timely or at all), then, in addition to being an Event of Default hereunder, the GameSquare Parties agree to reimburse the Holder for all reasonable costs incurred by the Holder in connection with any legal opinions paid for by the Holder in connection with sale or transfer of Underlying Shares. The Holder shall notify the GameSquare Parties of any such costs and expenses it incurs that are referred to in this Section from time to time and all amounts owed hereunder shall be paid by the GameSquare Parties with reasonable promptness.
(e) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If GameSquare, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its shares of Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of GameSquare, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(f) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 6(e) hereof, the GameSquare Parties shall promptly provide the Holder with a written notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
17 |
(g) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the GameSquare Parties or any Subsidiary of the GameSquare Parties with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the GameSquare Parties or any Subsidiary of the GameSquare Parties of all or substantially all of the assets of the GameSquare Parties in one or a series of related transactions (a “Change in Control”), the Holder shall have the right to (A) subject to the consummation of such Change in Control, elect to convert this Note into the Conversion Shares or be exchanged for the FaZe Media Shares, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3, immediately prior to the closing of the Change in Control as if the closing of such Change in Control is the Conversion/Exchange Time, (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Note with a Principal amount equal to the aggregate Principal amount of this Note then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which such newly issued convertible Note shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Note, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Note set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Note was issued or (C) require this Note be prepaid in cash contemporaneously with the closing of the Change in Control in accordance with Section 1(b)(ii) (a “Change in Control Payment Election”). In the case of clause (B), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of capital stock or convertible debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The GameSquare Parties shall notify the Holder at least 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated closing date of a Change in Control of the material terms and conditions of such Change in Control or such earlier date as required to permit the Holder to elect to convert, exchange or receive payment of this Note in connection with such Change in Control in accordance with this paragraph (the “Change in Control Notice”). Provided that the GameSquare Companies provide the Change in Control Notice, the Holder shall notify the GameSquare Companies of its election to convert or exchange the Note or to receive payment in cash not less than five (5) days prior to the consummation of the Change in Control. The terms of any such Change in Control shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.
(h) The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Note in order to effect a conversion or exchange hereunder.
7. REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.
(a) Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to GameSquare, whereupon the GameSquare Parties will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note, registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereof).
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by GameSquare of evidence reasonably satisfactory to GameSquare of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to GameSquare in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the GameSquare Parties shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal.

(b) Jurisdiction; Venue; Service.
(i) The GameSquare Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state courts of the Governing Jurisdiction and, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of any United States District Court for the Governing Jurisdiction.
(ii) The GameSquare Parties agree that venue shall be proper in any court of the Governing Jurisdiction selected by the Holder or, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, in any United States District Court in the Governing Jurisdiction. The GameSquare Parties waive any right to object to the maintenance of any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, in any of the state or federal courts of the Governing Jurisdiction on the basis of improper venue or inconvenience of forum.
(iii) Any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, brought by the GameSquare Parties against the Holder arising out of or based upon this Note or any matter relating to this Note, or any other Transaction Document, or any contemplated transaction, shall be brought in a court only in the Governing Jurisdiction. The GameSquare Parties shall not file any counterclaim against the Holder in any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by the Holder against the GameSquare Parties in a jurisdiction outside of the Governing Jurisdiction unless under the rules of the court in which the Holder brought such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding the counterclaim is mandatory, and not permissive, and would be considered waived unless filed as a counterclaim in the suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding instituted by the Holder against the GameSquare Parties.

Furthermore, the GameSquare Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agree that they will not bring or commence any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Holder arising out of or based upon this Note or any matter relating to this Note, or any other Transaction Document, or any contemplated transaction, in any forum other than the courts of the Governing Jurisdiction sitting in New Castle County, and the United States District Court of the Governing Jurisdiction, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. The GameSquare Parties and the Holder agree that a final judgment in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
20 |
(iv) The GameSquare Parties and the Holder irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, to it at the address provided for notices in this Note, such service to become effective thirty (30) days after the date of mailing.

(c) THE PARTIES MUTUALLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS NOTE OR ANY MATTER RELATING TO THIS NOTE, OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND THAT THE PARTIES EACH MAKE THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CHOICE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE OF A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, WITHOUT A JURY.
12. WAIVERS. Any waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.
13. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The GameSquare Parties covenant (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the GameSquare Parties from paying all or any portion of the Principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the GameSquare Parties (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
