GUARANTEE
GUARANTEE
This Guarantee dated as of March 8, 2004 made by TSI MEDICAL CORP. (the “Guarantor”) to and in favour of THE XXXXXXX X. XXXXX CORPORATION (the “Lender”) as lender under the Loan Agreement hereinafter referred to.
WHEREAS:
A. | 689158 B.C. Ltd. (the “Borrower”)
has entered into a loan agreement with the Lender dated as of the date
hereof (as such agreement may at any time or from time tot time be amended,
supplemented, extended or otherwise modified or restated, the “Loan
Agreement”) pursuant to which a loan in the principal amount
of US$500,000 is being advanced by the Lender to the Borrower (the
“Loan”). |
B. | It is a condition of the advance of the Loan by
the lender to the Borrower that the Guarantor execute and deliver this
guarantee to and in favour of the Lender as collateral security for the
payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter
defined). |
NOW THEREFORE WITNESSETH that in consideration of the payment of the sum of $1.00 in lawful money of Canada by the Lender to the Guarantor and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor herby covenants, declares and agrees as follows:
1. | Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual performance
and payment to the Lender, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise, of all obligations of the Borrower to the Lender, now or
hereafter existing under or pursuant to the Loan Agreement, whether for
principal, interest, bonus, fees, expenses, indemnity or otherwise, and
any and all out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements
on a solicitor and own client basis) incurred by the Lender in enforcing
any of its rights under this guarantee (such obligations being herein
called the “Guaranteed Obligations”) |
|
2. | Absolute Liability. The Guarantor
guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. The liability
of the Guarantor under this guarantee shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of: |
|
a.
|
the lack of validity or enforceability of any terms
of the Loan Agreement or any security granted to the Lender by the Borrower
or any other person or persons pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement;
|
|
b. |
any consent by the Borrower or any other person
as to the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations or the validity or enforceability
of any terms of the Loan Agreement; |
|
c. |
any defence, counter-claim or right of set-off available
to the Borrower; |
|
d. |
any extension of the time or times for payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indulgences the Lender may grant
to the Borrower; |
|
e. |
any dealings with the security which the Lender
holds or may hold pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement,
including the taking and giving up of securities, the accepting of compositions
and the granting of releases and discharges; |
- 2 -
f. | the assignment of all or
any part of the benefits of this guarantee; |
|
g. | any modification or amendment
of or supplement to the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Agreement,
including, without limitation, any assignment or assumption of the commitment
or commitments of the Lender under the Loan Agreement and any increase
or decrease in the principal, the rates of interest or other amounts payable
under the Loan Agreement; or |
|
h. | any other circumstances
which might otherwise constituted a defence available to or a discharge
of a guarantor, the Borrower or any other person in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or of the Guarantor in respect to this guarantee. |
3. | Remedies. The
Guarantor agrees that the Lender shall not be bound to seek or exhaust
its recourses against the Borrower or any other person or to realize on
any security it may hold in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations before
being entitled to payment hereunder. Should the Lender elect to realize
on any security it may hold, either before, concurrently with our after
demand for payment under this guarantee, the Guarantor shall have no right
of discussion or division. |
4. | Amount of Guaranteed
Obligations. Any account settled or stated by or between the
Lender and the Borrower or, if any such account has not been so settled
or stated immediately before demand for payment under this guarantee,
any account thereafter stated by the Lender shall, in the absence of demonstrated
error, be accepted by the Guarantor as conclusive evidence of the amount
of the Guaranteed Obligations which at the date of the account so settled
or stated is due by the Borrower to the Lender or remains unpaid by the
Borrower to the Lender. |
5. | Payment on Demand.
The Guarantor shall make payment to the Lender of the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations forthwith after demand therefore is made in writing to it,
and such demand shall be deemed to have been effectively made when an
envelope containing such demand addressed to the Guarantor at: 000 Xxxxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: ________________
, is personally delivered to such address or is deposited, postage prepaid
and registered, in any post office within or outside Canada. The indebtedness
of the Guarantor hereunder shall bear interest from the date of such demand
to the date of payment thereof in full at the rate or rates of interest
applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations under and calculated in the manner
provided in the Loan Agreement. |
6. | Subrogation and Repayment.
Upon receipt by the Lender of any payments on account of liability under
this guarantee, whether by realization on security or otherwise, the Guarantor
shall not be entitled to claim repayment against the Borrower until the
Lender’s claims against the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations have been repaid in full. In the case of the liquidation,
winding-up or bankruptcy of the Borrower (whether voluntary or compulsory)
or in the event that the Borrower shall make a bulk sale of any of the
Borrower’s assets within the provisions of any bulk sales legislation
or any composition with creditors or scheme of arrangement, the Lender
shall have the right to rank in priority to the Guarantor for its full
claims in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and receive all dividends
or other payments in respect thereof until its claims in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, and the Guarantor shall
continue to be liable, less any payments made by or on behalf of the Guarantor,
for any balance which may be owing to the Lender by the Borrower. In the
event of the valuation by the Lender of any of its security or the retention
thereof by the Lender or both, such valuation or retention, or both, shall
not, as between the Lender and the Guarantor, be considered as a purchase
of such security, or as payment or satisfaction or reduction of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor
on account of any subrogation rights at any time when all the Guaranteed
Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held
in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to
the Lender to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured. |
- 3 -
7. | Assignment
and Postponement. |
|
(1) |
All obligations, liabilities and indebtedness
of the Borrower to the Guarantor of any nature whatsoever, and all security
therefore, (the “Subject Indebtedness”) are hereby
assigned and transferred to the Lender as continuing and collateral security
for the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. The Guarantor shall not
assign the Subject Indebtedness or any part thereof to any person other
than the Lender or as permitted pursuant to the Loan Agreement. |
|
(2) |
From and after demand by the Lender pursuant
to Section 5 hereof, the Subject Indebtedness shall be held in trust by
the Guarantor for the Lender and shall be collected, enforced or proved
subject to and for the purposes of this guarantee, and any payments received
by the Guarantor in respect thereof shall be segregated from other funds
and property held by the Guarantor and forthwith paid over to the Lender
on account of the Guaranteed Obligations. |
|
(3) |
From and after demand by the Lender pursuant
to Section 5 hereof, the Lender shall be entitled to receive payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations in full before the Guarantor shall be entitled
to receive any payment on account of the Subject Indebtedness. The Subject
Indebtedness shall not be released or withdrawn by the Guarantor unless
the Lender’s written consent to such release or withdrawal is first
obtained, and the Guarantor shall not permit the prescription of the Subject
Indebtedness by any stature of limitations or ask for or obtain any security
or negotiable paper for or other evidence of the Subject Indebtedness
except for the purpose of delivering the same to the Lender. |
|
8. | No Prejudice
to the Lender. The Lender shall not be prejudiced in any way
in the right to enforce any provision of this guarantee by any act or
failure to act on the part of the Borrower. The Lender may, at any time
and from time to time, without any consent of or notice to the Guarantor
and without impairing or releasing the Guarantor from its obligations
hereunder: |
|
a. |
change the manner, place or terms of
payment or change or extend time of payment of, or renew or alter, the
Guaranteed Obligations; |
|
b. |
release anyone liable in any manner under
or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; |
|
c. |
exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights against the Borrower or the Guarantor or any other person; and
|
|
d. |
apply to the Guaranteed Obligations any
sums from time to time received. |
|
9. | Rights of Set-Off.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantor shall make all
payments hereunder without regard to any defence, counter-claim or right
of set-off available to it. Upon the making of a demand for payment hereunder,
the Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held or other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the
credit or the account of the Guarantor against the Guaranteed Obligations
and other amounts due to the Lender hereunder irrespective of whether
or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this guarantee and
although such Guaranteed Obligation and other amounts may be contingent
and unmatured. The rights of the Lender under this Section 9 are in addition,
without prejudice and supplemental to any other rights and remedies (including,
without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Lender may have. |
- 4 -
10. | No Recourse.
Any right of subrogation acquired by the Guarantor by reason of payment
under or pursuant to this guarantee shall not be exercised until the Guaranteed
Obligations and other amounts due to the Lender hereunder have been paid
or repaid in full to the Lender, and shall be no greater than the right
held by the Lender and the Guarantor shall have no recourse against the
Lender for any invalidity, non- perfection or unenforceability of any
security held by the Lender or any irregularity or defect in the manner
or procedure by which the Lender realizes on such security. |
||
11. | Continuing
Guarantee. This guarantee shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. |
||
12. | Supplemental
Security. This guarantee is in addition, without prejudice and
supplemental to all other guarantees and securities held, or which may
hereafter be held, by or for the Lender. |
||
