(b) The Security Interest does not extend to consumer goods.
(c) The Security Interest does not extend or apply to the last day of the term of any lease or sublease or any agreement for a lease or sublease, now held or hereafter acquired by the Corporation in respect of real property, but the Corporation shall stand possessed of any such last day upon trust to assign and dispose of it as the Lender may direct.
1.7 Care and Custody of Collateral
(a) The Lender has no obligation to keep Collateral in its possession identifiable.

1.8 Amalgamation
In the event the Corporation amalgamates with any other corporation or corporations, it is the intention of the parties that the Security Interest will (a) extend to all of the property and assets that (i) any of the amalgamating corporations own, or (ii) the amalgamated corporation thereafter acquires, and (b) secure the payment and performance of all debts, liabilities and obligations, present or future, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time or from time to time due or accruing due and owing by or otherwise payable by any of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation to the Lender in any currency pursuant to or in connection with the Note and the other Credit Documents whether incurred prior to, or at the time of, or subsequent to, any amalgamation. The Security Interest will attach to the property and assets of the amalgamating corporations not previously subject to this security agreement at the time of amalgamation and to any property or assets thereafter owned or acquired by the amalgamated corporation when same becomes owned or is acquired. Upon any such amalgamation, the defined term Corporation means, collectively, each of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation, the defined term Collateral means all of the property, assets, undertaking and interests described in (a) above, and the defined term Obligations means the obligations described in (b) above.

2.4 Concerning a Receiver
(a) Any receiver appointed by the Lender shall be vested with all rights and remedies which could have been exercised by the Lender in respect of the Corporation or the Collateral and such other powers and discretions as are granted in the instrument of appointment and any supplemental instruments.

The Corporation agrees to ratify and confirm all actions of the receiver acting as agent for the Corporation, and to release and indemnify the receiver in respect of all such actions.
(c) The Lender, in appointing or refraining from appointing any receiver, shall not incur any liability to the receiver, the Corporation or otherwise and is not responsible for any misconduct or negligence of such receiver.
2.5 Exercise of Remedies
Any remedy may be exercised separately or in combination and is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies the Lender may have, however created. The Lender is not bound to exercise any right or remedy, and the exercise of rights and remedies is without prejudice to any other rights of the Lender in respect of the Obligations including the right to claim for any deficiency.
2.6 Appointment of Attorney
The Corporation irrevocably appoints the Lender (and its officers) as attorney of the Corporation (with full power of substitution) to do, make and execute, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, all such further acts, documents, matters and things which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this security agreement including the execution, endorsement and delivery of documents and any notices, receipts, assignments or verifications of the accounts. All acts of the attorney are hereby ratified and approved, and the attorney shall not be liable for any act, failure to act or any other matter or thing, except to the extent caused by its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. This power of attorney is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest, has been given for valuable consideration (the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged) and survives, and does not terminate upon, the bankruptcy, dissolution, winding up or insolvency of the Corporation. This power of attorney extends to and is binding upon the Corporation’s successors and permitted assigns. The Corporation authorizes the Lender to (a) delegate in writing to another person any power and authority of the Corporation under this power of attorney as may be necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Lender, and (b) revoke or suspend such delegation.

(b) The Lender may grant extensions or other indulgences, take and give up security, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with the Corporation and with other persons, guarantors, sureties or security as it may see fit without prejudice to the Obligations, the liability of the Corporation or the rights of the Lender in respect of the Collateral.
(c) The Lender is not (i) liable or accountable for any failure to collect, realize or obtain payment in respect of the Collateral, (ii) bound to institute proceedings for the purpose of collecting, enforcing, realizing or obtaining payment of the Collateral or for the purpose of preserving any rights of any persons in respect of the Collateral, (iii) responsible for any loss occasioned by any sale or other dealing with the Collateral or by the retention of or failure to sell or otherwise deal with the Collateral, or (iv) bound to protect the Collateral from depreciating in value or becoming worthless.
(d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, and without prejudice to the ability of the Lender to dispose of the Collateral in any such manner, the Corporation acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender to, and the Lender may, in its discretion (i) incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Lender to prepare the Collateral for disposition, (ii) exercise collection remedies directly or through the use of collection agencies, (iii) dispose of Collateral by way of public auction, public tender or private contract, with or without advertising and without any other formality, (iv) dispose of Collateral to the Lender or to a customer or client of the Lender, (v) contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Corporation, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vi) hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of the Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vii) establish an upset or reserve bid or price in respect of the Collateral, and (viii) establish such terms as to credit or otherwise as the Lender may determine.
(e) The Corporation acknowledges that the Lender may be unable to complete a public sale of any or all of the Collateral consisting of investment property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in applicable securities laws or otherwise. In connection therewith, it may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to 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. Any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favourable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, the Corporation agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner by reason of it being a private sale. The Lender is under no obligation to delay a sale of any or all of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such Collateral for public sale under applicable securities law or otherwise, even if the issuer agrees to do so.
2.8 Application of Proceeds
Any and all moneys realized by the Lender pursuant to this security agreement shall be applied by the Lender to such part of to the Obligations as the Lender in its sole discretion determines. The Lender may, at all times and from time to time, change any application so made in accordance with the Note and the other Credit Documents.
2.9 No Waiver
No delay or omission by the Lender, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Corporation of any provision of this security agreement waives, affects or diminishes any right of the Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.
2.10 Dealings by Third Parties
(a) No person dealing with the Lender, or an agent or receiver is required to determine (i) whether the Security Interest has become enforceable, (ii) whether the powers which such person is purporting to exercise have become exercisable, (iii) whether any money remains due to the Lender by the Corporation, (iv) the necessity or expediency of the stipulations and conditions subject to which any sale or lease is made, (v) the propriety or regularity of any sale or other dealing by the Lender or any agent with the Collateral, or (vi) how any money paid to the Lender has been applied.

2.11 Corporation Liable for Deficiency
The Corporation is liable to the Lender for any deficiency after the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral are received by the Lender.
