accordance with applicable legislation with full power of
substitution and to do on Debtor's behalf anything that is required
to assign, license or transfer, and to record any assignment,
licence or transfer of the Collateral. This power of attorney, which

matters and things (including

exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
Furthermore, RBC may remedy any default by Debtor hereunder or with
respect to any Indebtedness in any reasonable manner without waiving
