FROM: | 2304101 Ontario Inc. (operating as Behavioural Neurological Applications and Solutions), an Ontario corporation (the "Debtor") |
1. | DEFINITIONS |
|
|
| All capitalized terms used in this Agreement and in any schedules attached hereto shall, except where defined herein, be interpreted pursuant to their respective meanings when used in the Personal Property Security Act (the "PPSA") of the province or territory referred to in the "Governing Law" section of this Agreement (the "Province") and any regulations issued thereunder. |
2. | SECURITY INTEREST AND CHARGE |
(a) | As general and continuing collateral security for the payment and performance of all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Debtor to the Purchasers identified on Schedule “C” hereto (the “Purchasers”) under a certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) among such Purchasers, the Notes acquired in connection therewith, the obligations of the Debtor arising under and in connection with the Transaction Documents (as defined in the SPA) howsoever arising, both present and future, absolute and contingent, direct and indirect, matured or not, and whether the Debtor be bound alone or jointly or severally with others (the "Indebtedness"), the Debtor hereby assigns and grants a mortgage, pledge, charge and security interest (which, in the case of any real property and any other Collateral (as hereinafter defined) not subject to the PPSA, shall be a mortgage as and by way of a floating charge) to and in favour of Collateral Agent in all property, assets and undertaking of the Debtor referred to in Schedule "A" (including all such property, assets and undertaking owned or leased by or licensed to the Debtor and in which the Debtor at any time has an interest or to which the Debtor is or at any time may become entitled) and in all Proceeds and renewals thereof, Accessions thereto and substitutions therefor (herein collectively called the "Collateral "). | |
(b) | The assignments, mortgages, pledges, charges, security interests and floating charges (if applicable) granted hereunder are hereinafter collectively called the "Security Interests". The Debtor warrants and acknowledges to and in favour of Collateral Agent that: |
| (i) | the Debtor has rights in all existing Collateral and the parties intend the Security Interest hereby created in any of the Debtor's existing property which is subject to the PPSA to attach upon execution and delivery hereof; | |
| |||
| (ii) | the parties intend the Security Interest created in any of the Debtor's after-acquired property which is subject to the PPSA to attach at the same time as it acquires rights in the after-acquired property; and | |
| |||
| (iii) | value has been given. |
1 |
(c) | For greater certainty, where the Collateral includes all of the Debtor's present and after-acquired Personal Property, and any of such Collateral is or becomes located on lands or premises leased or subleased by the Debtor, the Collateral includes the Debtor's interest as tenant or lessee under any and all of such leases and subleases of the lands or premises. | |
(d) | The last day of any term reserved by any lease or agreement to lease is excepted out of the Security Interest and does not form part of the Collateral, but the Debtor shall stand possessed of such last day in trust to assign the same to any person acquiring such term. | |
(e) | If the grant of the Security Interest in respect of any contract, lease, agreement to lease, license, permit, approval or intellectual property right would result in the termination or breach of such contract, lease, agreement to lease, license, permit, approval or intellectual property right, then the applicable contract, lease, agreement to lease, license, permit, approval or intellectual property right will not be subject to the Security Interest but will be held in trust by the Debtor for the benefit of Collateral Agent and, on exercise by Collateral Agent of any of its rights under this Agreement following Default, assigned by the Debtor as directed by Collateral Agent. |
3. | CONTINUOUS INTEREST |
|
|
| The Security Interest hereby created is a continuing charge, and shall secure all Indebtedness notwithstanding that the Indebtedness may be fluctuating and even may from time to time and at any time be reduced to a nil balance, and notwithstanding that monies advanced may be repaid and future advances may be made to or to the order of the Debtor or in respect of which the Debtor is liable. The Security Interest maintains priority for all Indebtedness secured hereby whether incurred or arising before or after the creation or registration of any Encumbrance (as hereinafter defined) and notwithstanding that at any time there may not be any Indebtedness then outstanding. |
4. | AUTHORIZED DEALING WITH COLLATERAL |
|
|
| Until Default (as hereinafter defined), or until Collateral Agent provides written notice to the contrary to the Debtor, the Debtor may deal with the Collateral in the ordinary course of the Debtor's business in any manner not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that the Debtor shall not, without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent: |
(a) | sell, exchange, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral other than inventory being sold, leased or disposed of for fair market value in the ordinary course of the Debtor's business as it is presently conducted and for the purpose of carrying on that business, or | |
(b) | create, incur or permit to exist any security interest, mortgage, lien, claim, charge or other encumbrance (herein collectively called the "Encumbrances" and individually, an "Encumbrance") upon any of the Collateral whether it would rank or purport to rank in priority to, equally with or behind the Security Interest granted under this Agreement, except operating leases incurred in the ordinary course of the Debtor's business. |
Nothing in this Agreement or otherwise creates a postponement or subordination of any priority of Collateral Agent in any of the Collateral in favour of any present or future holder of an Encumbrance (including without limitation, a holder of a lease) in any of the Collateral. | |
|
|
If the Collateral comprises any Investment Property, Chattel Paper, Instrument, Money or Document of Title, the Debtor will, forthwith upon request, deliver the same to Collateral Agent and will allow Collateral Agent to retain possession of the same. If the Collateral comprises any Investment Property that is a Certificated Security, the Debtor will, upon request, deliver to Collateral Agent all Security Certificates relating to such Certificated Security endorsed in blank. If the Collateral comprises any Investment Property that is an Uncertificated Security or a Security Entitlement, the Debtor, on request by Collateral Agent, will, or will cause the issuer of such Investment Property to, or will cause the Securities Intermediary that holds such Investment Property to, take all steps as are necessary to give exclusive control (as that term is used in the PPSA) over such Investment Property to Collateral Agent on terms and conditions satisfactory to Collateral Agent. |

The Debtor acknowledges that any payments on or other proceeds of Collateral received by the Debtor from Account Debtor after Default under this Agreement and whether before or after notification of this Security Interest to Account Debtor shall be received and held by the Debtor in trust for Collateral Agent and shall be turned over to Collateral Agent on request.

(c) | the Debtor irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as its attorney and agent, with full powers of substitution, to sell, transfer, surrender, redeem, endorse or otherwise deal with any of the Retained Collateral as Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may see fit. These powers are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the Security Interests created by this Agreement are released; and | |
(d) | Collateral Agent shall have all rights and powers, but shall not be required to exercise any right or benefit which the holder or owner of the Retained Collateral may at any time have in connection with the Retained Collateral. |

In the event of Default, Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may without demand or notice of any kind, declare all or any of the Indebtedness which is not by its terms payable on demand, to be immediately due and payable. The provisions of this section are not intended in any way to affect any rights of Collateral Agent with respect to any Indebtedness which may now or hereafter be payable on demand. | |
13. | NOTICE |
Any notice or demand required or permitted to be made or given by Collateral Agent to the Debtor may be validly served by delivering the same or by mailing the same prepaid registered mail, addressed to the Debtor at the last known address of the Debtor or of any officer or director thereof, as shown on the records of Collateral Agent, and in the case of mailing, such notice or demand shall be deemed to have been received by the Debtor on the third business day following the date of mailing. | |

15. | REGISTRATION |
The Debtor will ensure that this Agreement and all such supplementary and corrective instruments and any additional mortgage and security documents, and all documents, caveats, cautions, security notices and financing statements in respect thereof, are promptly filed and refiled, registered and re-registered and deposited and re-deposited, in such manner, in such offices and places, and at such times and as often as may be required by applicable law or as may be necessary or desirable to perfect and preserve the Security Interests as a first priority mortgage, charge and security interest and the rights conferred or intended to be conferred upon Collateral Agent by the Security Interests and will cause to be furnished promptly to Collateral Agent evidence satisfactory to Collateral Agent of such filing, registering and depositing. | |
16. | MISCELLANEOUS |
(a) | Without limiting any other right of Collateral Agent, whenever the debts and liabilities of the Debtor to Collateral Agent are immediately due and payable, or Collateral Agent has the right to declare the debts and liabilities to be immediately due and payable, whether or not it has so declared, Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, set-off against the debts and liabilities any and all monies then owed to the Debtor by Collateral Agent in any capacity, whether due or not due, and Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised such right of set-off immediately at the time of making its decision to do so even though any charge therefor is made or entered on Collateral Agent 's records subsequent thereto. | |
(b) | Collateral Agent 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, sureties and others and with Collateral and other security as Collateral Agent may see fit without prejudice to the liability of the Debtor or to Collateral Agent's right to hold and realize the Security Interest. Collateral Agent may demand, collect and xxx on the Collateral in either the Debtor's or Collateral Agent 's name, at Collateral Agent's option, and may endorse the Debtor's name on any and all cheques, commercial paper and any other instruments pertaining to or constituting Collateral and for this purpose, the Debtor irrevocably authorizes and appoints Collateral Agent as its attorney and agent, with full power of substitution. These powers are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the Security Interests created by this Agreement are released. |
10 |
(c) | Upon the Debtor's failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Collateral Agent may, but shall not be required to, perform any such obligations, and the Debtor will pay to Collateral Agent, upon demand, an amount equal to the expense incurred by Collateral Agent in so doing with interest thereon from the date such expense is incurred at a rate equal to the highest rate of interest payable by the Debtor on any portion of the Indebtedness. | |
(d) | This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. The Debtor may not assign this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent. In any action brought by an assignee of this Agreement or the Security Interest created hereunder or any part thereof, the Debtor shall not assert against the assignee any claim or defense which the Debtor now has or hereafter may have against Collateral Agent. | |
(e) | If more than one person executes this Agreement as the Debtor: |
| (i) | the obligations of such persons hereunder shall be joint and several; | |
| |||
| (ii) | the Security Interests shall secure the Indebtedness of each Debtor, whether or not any other Debtor or any other person is also liable therefor; and | |
| |||
| (iii) | the Collateral shall include the interest of any Debtor in the property, assets and undertaking constituting Collateral owned or otherwise held by such Debtor, whether or not any other Debtor also has an interest therein. |
(f) | The Debtor acknowledges and agrees that in the event it amalgamates with any other corporation or corporations it is the intention of the parties hereto that the term "Debtor" when used herein shall apply to each of the amalgamating corporations and to the amalgamated corporation, such that the Security Interests granted hereby: |
| (i) | shall extend and attach to "Collateral" (as that term is herein defined) owned by each of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation at the time of amalgamation and to any "Collateral" thereafter owned or acquired by the amalgamated corporation; and | |
| |||
| (ii) | shall secure the "Indebtedness" (as that term is herein defined) of each of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation to Collateral Agent at the time of amalgamation and any "Indebtedness" of the amalgamated corporation to Collateral Agent thereafter arising. |
(g) | This Agreement is in addition to and not in substitution for any other security or securities now or hereafter held by Collateral Agent and all such other securities shall remain in full force and effect.

GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
1. Appointment.The Purchasers (all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided in the General Security Agreement to which this Schedule A is attached (the “Agreement”), by their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby designate [REQUIRES COMPLETION] (“Collateral Agent”) as the Collateral Agent to act as specified herein and in the Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Agreement and any other Transaction Document (as such term is defined in the SPA) and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.
2. Nature of Duties. The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Agreement. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, be responsible for the consequence of any oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused solely by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction. The duties of the Collateral Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of Debtor or any Purchaser; and nothing in the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except as expressly set forth herein and therein.
3. Lack of Reliance on the Collateral Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, each Purchaser, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with such Purchaser’s investment in the Debtor, the creation and continuance of the Obligations, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and of the value of the Collateral from time to time, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Purchaser with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or at any time or times thereafter. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Debtor or any Purchaser for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the financial condition of the Debtor or the value of any of the Collateral, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the financial condition of the Debtor, or the value of any of the Collateral, or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default under the Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents.
4. Certain Rights of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral, on behalf of all of the Secured Parties. To the extent practical, the Collateral Agent shall request instructions from the Secured Parties with respect to any material act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of Secured Parties holding a majority in principal amount of Notes (based on then-outstanding principal amounts of Notes at the time of any such determination); if such instructions are not provided despite the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action, and if such action is taken, shall be entitled to appropriate indemnification from the Secured Parties in respect of actions to be taken by the Collateral Agent; and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any person or entity by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) no Purchaser shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and the Debtor shall have no right to question or challenge the authority of, or the instructions given to, the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing and (b) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action which the Collateral Agent believes (i) could reasonably be expected to expose it to personal liability or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or applicable law.
19 |
5. Reliance. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it and upon all other matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of other experts selected by it. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Purchaser to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Debtor or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted pursuant to the Agreement have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.
6. Indemnification. To the extent that the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Debtor, the Secured Parties will jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent, in proportion to their initially purchased respective principal amounts of Notes, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except for those determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Prior to taking any action hereunder as Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may require each Purchaser to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines in good faith is necessary to protect the Collateral Agent for costs and expenses associated with taking such action.
7. Resignation by the Collateral Agent.
(a) The Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving 5 days’ prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Debtor and the Secured Parties. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.
(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting by a Majority in Interest, shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c) If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 5-day period, the Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor Collateral Agent who shall serve as Collateral Agent until such time, if any, as the Secured Parties appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided above. If a successor Collateral Agent has not been appointed within such 5-day period, the Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Debtor and the Secured Parties in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, and all fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith, shall be payable by the Debtor on demand.
8. Rights with respect to Collateral. Each Purchaser agrees with all other Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent (i) that it shall not, and shall not attempt to, exercise any rights with respect to its security interest in the Collateral, whether pursuant to any other agreement or otherwise (other than pursuant to this Agreement), or take or institute any action against the Collateral Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral or its rights hereunder (other than any such action arising from the breach of this Agreement) and (ii) that such Purchaser has no other rights with respect to the Collateral other than as set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of the Agreement including this Annex B shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent.
