The Lender shall have and hold the Collateral Property for its benefit, but subject to the provisions of this Debenture.

3.3 Attachment

The Corporation acknowledges that value has been given, that the Corporation and the Lender have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of the Security and that the Security is intended to attach, as to all of the Collateral Property in which the Corporation now has rights, when the Corporation executes this Debenture, and, as to all Collateral Property in which the Corporation only has rights after the execution of this Debenture, when the Corporation first has such rights.

3.4 Dealings in the Ordinary Course

Unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Corporation may, provided to do so is not contrary to any provision hereof or of any Finance Document, dispose of or deal with its assets on ordinary commercial terms, in the ordinary course of its business and for the purpose of carrying on such business, except that the Corporation shall not, without the consent of the Lender, create, assume or have outstanding, any Encumbrance on the Collateral Property purporting to rank or capable of being enforced in priority to or pari passu with the Security other than Permitted Encumbrances. All rights of the Corporation as vendor, consignor or lessor and all resulting Accounts shall be subject to the Security.

3.5 Proceeds Held in Trust

If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Corporation shall receive and hold all Proceeds in trust, separate and apart from other monies, instruments or property, and shall forthwith endorse as necessary and pay over or deliver them to the Lender to be held by the Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Debenture.

3.6 Account Debtor

3.7 Control of Securities and Security Entitlements


(a)	Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Debenture (with respect to Securities and Securities Entitlements in which the Corporation now has rights) and within five (5) Business Days of the Corporation first having rights in Securities and Securities Entitlements (with respect to Securities and Securities Entitlements

DM_MTL/017234.00001/2987689.3

- 6 -

in which the Corporation only has rights after the execution and delivery of this Debenture), the Corporation shall:


(i)	physically deliver to the Lender each certificated Security that is in bearer form;


(ii)	physically deliver to the Lender each certificated Security that is in registered form and, except for Unlimited Liability Shares, either (as the Lender shall direct) endorse the Security certificate to the Lender or in blank by an effective endorsement or register the Security certificate in the name of the Lender or its representative;


(iii)	deliver to the Lender each uncertificated Security, except for Unlimited Liability Shares, or cause the issuer of that uncertificated Security to agree with the Lender that such issuer will comply with the instructions and entitlement orders originated by the Lender without the further consent of the Corporation or any other entitlement holder;


(iv)	do one of the following (as the Lender shall direct):


(A)	cause the Lender or its representative to become the entitlement holder of each Security Entitlement, except for a Security Entitlement in Unlimited Liability Shares,


(B)	cause the securities intermediary to agree with the Lender that such securities intermediary will comply with entitlement orders in relation to each Security Entitlement that are originated by the Lender without the further consent of the Corporation or any other entitlement holder, or


(C)	cause another person that has control of any Security Entitlement in the manner contemplated by subclause (A) or (B) (other than on behalf of the Lender) to acknowledge that it has control on behalf of the Lender, or having previously obtained control, acknowledge that it has control on behalf of the Lender.

Any Security, including any Security Entitlement, held or controlled by the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 3.7(a) shall be held as Collateral under this Debenture.

(i)	with respect to any Securities or Security Entitlement held directly by the Lender or its representative, be exercised as the Corporation may direct; and

DM_MTL/017234.00001/2987689.3

- 7 -


(ii)	with respect to any Securities or Security Entitlement held directly by the Corporation or its representatives, be exercised by the Corporation.


(c)	With respect to the Corporation’s rights relating to any Securities:


(i)	such rights shall not be exercised in any manner which would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the rights intended to be conferred on the Lender by or pursuant to this Debenture;

(ii)

the Corporation shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lender, by the exercise of any of such rights or otherwise, permit or agree to any variation of the rights attached to or conferred by any of the Securities, participate in any rights issue, elect to receive or vote in favour of receiving any dividends other than in the form of cash or participate in any vote concerning a dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of an issuer of Securities pursuant to its incorporating statute (or any similar proceeding); and

(iii)

if a Default has occurred and is continuing (and without any consent or authority on the part of the Corporation), the Lender and its representatives may at the Lender’s discretion (in the name of the Corporation or otherwise) exercise or cause to be exercised in respect of any of the Securities (other than Securities comprised of Unlimited Liability Shares) any voting rights or rights to receive dividends, interest, principal or other payments of money, as the case may be, forming part of the Securities and all other rights conferred on or exercisable by the bearer or holder thereof.

3.8 Unlimited Liability Shares

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Debenture or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto, the Corporation is the sole registered and beneficial owner of each Unlimited Liability Share subject to the Security and will remain so until such time as such Unlimited Liability Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the Lender or another person on the books and records of the Unlimited Company issuer thereof. Accordingly, the Corporation shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend on or other distribution, if any, in respect of such Unlimited Liability Shares (except insofar as the Corporation has granted a security interest in such dividend or other distribution in favour of the Lender hereunder, and any Securities which constitute Collateral Property shall be delivered forthwith upon receipt by the Corporation to the Lender to hold as Collateral Property hereunder) and shall have the right to vote such Unlimited Liability Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the issuer Unlimited Company to the same extent as the Corporation would if such Unlimited Liability Shares were not subject to the Security. Nothing in this Debenture or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto is intended to, or shall, constitute the Lender or any person other than the Corporation, a member of any Unlimited Company for the purposes of any applicable governing statute of such Unlimited Company until such time as notice is given to the Corporation (and not revoked) as provided herein and further steps are taken thereunder so as to register the Lender or such other person as holder of such Unlimited

DM_MTL/017234.00001/2987689.3

- 8 -

Liability Shares. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Lender as a member of the Unlimited Company issuer, such provision shall be severed therefrom and ineffective without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Debenture or such provision insofar as it relates to property which is not Unlimited Liability Shares. Except upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Unlimited Liability Shares following the occurrence of a Default, the Corporation shall not cause, permit or enable any Unlimited Company issuer to cause, permit, or enable the Lender to (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of the Unlimited Company, (b) have any notation entered in its favour in the share register in respect of Unlimited Liability Shares, (c) hold the Lender out as a shareholder or member of an Unlimited Company, (d) act or purport to act as a member of an Unlimited Company, or obtain, exercise or attempt to exercise any rights of a shareholder or member, of the Unlimited Company, (e) be held out as shareholder or member of the Unlimited Company, (f) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from the Unlimited Company by reason of the Lender holding a security interest in the Unlimited Liability Shares or (g) act as a shareholder or member of the Unlimited Company, or exercise any rights of a shareholder or member including the right to attend a meeting of, or to vote the shares of, an Unlimited Company or to be entitled to receive or receive any distribution in respect of Unlimited Liability Shares. The foregoing limitation shall not restrict the Lender from exercising the rights which it is entitled to exercise hereunder in respect of any Collateral Property constituting Unlimited Liability Shares or Security Entitlements in Unlimited Liability Shares at any time that the Lender shall be entitled to enforce the Security and realize on all or any portion of the Collateral Property pursuant to the Security.

3.9 General Partnership Interests

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Debenture or any other agreement or document among all or some of the parties hereto, the Corporation is the sole registered and beneficial owner of each interest held by it in any general partnership and general partnership interest in any limited partnership subject to the Security and will remain so until such time as such interest is effectively transferred into the name of another person on the books and records of the issuer thereof. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Lender as a general partner of any limited or general partnership, such provision shall be severed therefrom and ineffective without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Debenture or such provision insofar as it relates to property which is not such a general partner interest in a partnership.

3.10 Commingled Goods

If Collateral Property subsequently becomes part of a product or mass to which the security interest of another secured party attaches, “the cost of the total product or mass” within the meaning of section 37 of the PPSA shall not exceed the sum of the cost of such Collateral Property and the cost of all other goods forming part of such product or mass in which other secured parties have a security interest. Notwithstanding any limitation imposed by the PPSA on the Security in such product or mass and subject to any Permitted Encumbrances, the Security shall extend to all Accounts, Replacements or Proceeds arising from any dealing with such product or mass, ranking in priority to those of any other person holding an Encumbrance upon such product or mass. The

DM_MTL/017234.00001/2987689.3

- 9 -

Corporation shall not grant or permit to subsist any Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) in favour of any other creditor unless that creditor first agrees to the subordination of its Encumbrance to that of the Lender in all Accounts, Replacements and Proceeds arising from dealings with a product or mass, and the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of each existing secured creditor to the rights granted to the Lender in this Section 3.10.

3.11 Leases

(a)

The last day of the term of any lease, oral or written, or any agreement therefor (including, without limitation, the leases referred to in Section 3.1(a)(ii)), now held or hereafter acquired by the Corporation shall be excepted from the Security and shall not form part of the Collateral Property but the Corporation shall stand possessed of such last day remaining and shall hold it in trust to assign and dispose of the same as the Lender directs. If any such lease or agreement therefor contains a provision which provides in effect that such lease or agreement may not be assigned, sub-leased, charged or made the subject of any Encumbrance without the consent of the lessor, the application of the Security to any such lease or agreement shall be conditional upon such consent being obtained. Upon request in writing from time to time from the Lender, the Corporation shall forthwith use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain, as soon as reasonably practicable, such consent.

(b)

Upon request in writing from time to time from the Lender, the Corporation shall forthwith use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as soon as reasonably practicable, an agreement from the landlord of all premises leased by the Corporation intended to preserve and facilitate the realization of the Security with respect to Collateral Property located at such premises in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender acting reasonably.

3.12 Operating Rights

(a)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Corporation cannot lawfully grant the Security in any agreement, right or Licence comprised in the Collateral Property in which it now or hereafter has rights (“operating rights”) because the nature or terms of the operating rights prohibit or restrict such Security, the nature or terms of the operating rights require the consent of any person which has not been obtained or the grant of such Security in the operating rights would contravene or be void under applicable statute or regulation, those operating rights shall not, to the extent it would be illegal, void or result in a material loss and expense to the Corporation (any such operating rights, “Prescribed Operating Rights”), be subject to the Security (save to the extent provided below) unless and until such agreements, consents, waivers and approvals as may be required to avoid such illegality, voidness or loss and expense have been obtained (“Required Approvals”). The Security shall nonetheless immediately attach to any rights of the Corporation arising under, by reason of, or otherwise in respect of such operating rights, such as the right to receive payments thereunder and all Proceeds and Replacements of those

DM_MTL/017234.00001/2987689.3

- 10 -

operating rights (“Related Rights”), if and to the extent and as at the time such attachment to the Related Rights is not illegal, void or would not result in a material loss and expense to the Corporation.

(b)

To the extent permitted by applicable statute or regulation, the Corporation will hold in trust for the Lender, and, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Corporation shall (i) provide the Lender with the benefits of, all Prescribed Operating Rights and (ii) enforce all Related Rights at the direction of the Lender or at the direction of such other person (including any purchaser of Collateral Property from the Lender or any Receiver) as the Lender may designate.

(c)

The Corporation shall, at the time it enters into an IP Licence, other than an IP Licence of “off-the-shelf”, “shrink-wrap” and “click-wrap” software, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the licensor or licencee (as applicable) under such IP Licence (i) a consent to the Security in such IP Licence and related Intellectual Property, including all of the Corporation’s rights thereto, and to any disposition thereof pursuant to ARTICLE 6 and (ii) an agreement that neither the Lender nor any Receiver shall have any obligations to such licensor or licencee (as applicable) by reason only of such Security or disposition.


(d)	The Corporation shall forthwith use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as soon as reasonably practicable, all Required Approvals and acknowledgments of the nature referred to in Subsection 3.12(c).

3.13 Consumer Goods

The Corporation confirms and agrees that the Collateral Property does not and will not include any consumer goods.

ARTICLE 4
COVENANTS OF CORPORATION

4.1 Payment of Finance Obligations

The Corporation shall punctually pay and perform the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of each Finance Document.

4.2 Marking the Collateral Property

The Corporation shall, at the Lender’s reasonable request, mark Collateral Property to indicate clearly that it is subject to the Security.

4.3 Encumbrances

The Corporation shall keep the Collateral Property free at all times from Encumbrance, except Permitted Encumbrances, and shall defend the title to the Collateral Property against all persons. The Corporation shall not permit, without the prior written consent of the

DM_MTL/017234.00001/2987689.3

- 11 -

Lender, any Collateral Property to become an accession to any property other than other Collateral Property or to become a fixture unless the Security ranks prior to the interests of all persons in the realty. The foregoing shall not in any way prevent the Lender from, at any time, contesting the validity, enforceability or priority of any Encumbrance. No Encumbrance shall be entitled to priority over the Security, except to the extent that it is entitled to such priority as a purchase-money security interest under the PPSA or the STA or it secures Statutory Prior Claims. Nothing in this Debenture is intended to create any rights (including subordination rights or any release of Security) in favour of any person other than the Lender, any Receiver and the other Indemnified Parties.

4.4 Insurance


(a)	The Corporation shall insure the Collateral Property as required by the provisions of each Finance Document. If the Corporation fails to obtain and maintain any such insurance, the Lender or any Receiver may do so and the Corporation shall forthwith upon demand reimburse the Lender or the Receiver for all its reasonable disbursements, costs and expenses so incurred.

(b)

Upon request by the Lender, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Lender, an assignment of all insurance proceeds arising under, by reason of or otherwise in respect of each policy of insurance maintained by the Corporation insuring against loss or damage to the Collateral Property in such form as the Lender shall reasonably require, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain forthwith the acknowledgement and consent thereto by the insurers and brokers.

4.5 Further Assurances

The Corporation shall at all times do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged or delivered all such further acts, deeds, transfers, mortgages, pledges and charges, security agreements, assignments, agreements, debentures and assurances as the Lender may reasonably require in order to give effect to the provisions of this Debenture and for the better securing or perfecting the Security and the priority accorded to the Security intended under this Debenture. Upon the request of the Lender, the Corporation shall specifically mortgage, pledge, charge, grant a security interest in, or assign in favour of the Lender any property which the Corporation now or hereafter has rights, other than property and assets expressly excluded hereunder and Intellectual Property and Unlimited Liability Shares shall not be mortgaged, charged or assigned to the Lender, and shall execute all documents reasonably required by the Lender in connection therewith. The Corporation constitutes and appoints the Lender acting by any officer for the time being of the Lender to be its attorney with full power of substitution to do on the Corporation’s behalf anything that the Corporation can lawfully do by an attorney, including to do, make and execute all such agreements, deeds, acts, matters or things, with the right to use the name of the Corporation, whenever and wherever it deems necessary or expedient and to carry out the Corporation’s obligations under this Debenture. Such power of attorney, being granted by way of security and coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are paid in full. Such power of attorney shall not be exercisable by the Lender unless a Default has occurred and is continuing.

DM_MTL/017234.00001/2987689.3

- 12 -

4.6 Costs and Expenses

The Corporation shall forthwith reimburse the Lender, on demand and on a full indemnity basis, for all interest, commissions, costs of realization and other costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses on a solicitor and his own client basis) incurred by the Lender or any Receiver in connection with the preparation, issuance, protection, enforcement of and advice with respect to this Debenture and the perfection, protection, enforcement of and advice with respect to the Security, including those arising in connection with the realization, disposition of, retention, protection or collection of any Collateral Property and the protection or enforcement of the rights of the Lender or any Receiver and those incurred for registration of any financing statement registered in connection with the Security.

4.7 Reimbursements as Secured Obligations

All amounts for which the Corporation is required hereunder to reimburse the Lender or any Receiver shall, from the date of demand made upon the Corporation until the date the Lender or such Receiver receives reimbursement, be deemed advanced to the Corporation by the Lender or such Receiver, as the case may be, on the faith and security of this Debenture shall be deemed to be Secured Obligations secured by the Security and shall bear interest from the date of demand, compounded and payable monthly, both before and after demand, default and judgment, until payment of such amount is paid in full at the Default Rate.

4.8 General Indemnity

The Corporation will indemnify the Lender, any Receiver and their respective representatives, (each, an “Indemnified Party”) in respect of, and save each Indemnified Party fully harmless from and against, all claims and loss and expense which an Indemnified Party may suffer or incur in connection with (a) the exercise by the Lender or any Receiver of any of its rights hereunder or (b) any breach by the Corporation of, or any failure by the Corporation to observe or perform, any of the Secured Obligations under this Debenture, save that the Corporation shall not be obliged to so indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent such losses and expenses are determined by a final judgment to have directly resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Party. The Lender shall be constituted as the trustee of each Indemnified Party, other than itself, and shall hold and enforce each such other Indemnified Party’s rights under this Section 4.8 for their respective benefits.

4.9 Registration

Unless the Lender notifies the Corporation otherwise, the Corporation shall cause its representatives to forthwith register, file and record this Debenture or notice thereof, on behalf of the Lender at all proper offices where, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Lender, such registration, filing or recording may be necessary or advantageous to create, perfect, preserve or protect the Security in the Collateral Property and its priority and shall hereafter cause its representatives to maintain all such registrations, filings and recordings on behalf of the Lender in full force and effect.

ARTICLE 5
DEFAULT

5.1 Default

Whenever any Default referred to in Section 5.2 (c) occurs, unless the Lender notifies the Corporation to the contrary and subject to such terms and conditions as may be contained in such notice, the Secured Obligations shall be accelerated and be immediately due and payable in full and the Security shall become immediately crystallized and enforceable without the necessity for any further action or notice by the Lender, except that no Security over Unlimited Liability Shares shall be crystallized and enforceable without notice in writing from the Lender to the Corporation that specifically identifies the Unlimited Liability Shares and states the intention of the Lender to enforce the Security over such Unlimited Liability Shares, which notice has not been revoked. Whenever any Default referred to in Section 5.2 (a) or Section 5.2(b) occurs, the Lender may, at its option, declare the Secured Obligations accelerated and immediately due and payable in full and the Security shall become immediately crystallized and enforceable.

5.2 Events of Default

Each of the following events constitutes a Default:


(a)	an “Event of Default” referred to and defined in the Credit Agreement occurs;


(b)	an event occurs which entitles the Lender to terminate the Turbine Supply Agreement pursuant to Clause GC 2‑11(a) thereof; or


(c)	an Insolvency Event with respect to the Corporation occurs.

5.3 Security Enforceable

The fact that this Debenture provides for Defaults and rights of acceleration shall not derogate from the demand nature of any Secured Obligation payable on demand.

5.4 Waiver

The Lender may waive any Default or any breach by the Corporation of any of the provisions of this Debenture. No waiver, however, shall be deemed to extend to a subsequent breach or Default, whether or not the same as or similar to the breach or Default waived, and no act or omission by the Lender shall extend to, or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect, any subsequent breach or Default or the rights of the Lender arising therefrom. Any such waiver must be in writing and signed by the Lender to be effective. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay by the Lender in exercising, any right under this Debenture shall operate as a waiver of such right. No single or partial exercise of any such right shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right or the exercise of any other right.

ARTICLE 6
REMEDIES ON DEFAULT

DM_MTL/017234.00001/2987689.3

- 14 -

6.1 Remedies of Lender

If the Security becomes enforceable in accordance with ARTICLE 5, the Lender shall have the rights set out in this ARTICLE 6.

6.2 Right to Appoint a Receiver

If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may appoint by instrument in writing one or more Receivers of any Collateral Property. Any such Receiver shall have the rights set out in this ARTICLE 6. In exercising such rights, any Receiver shall act as and for all purposes shall be deemed to be the agent of the Corporation and the Lender shall not be responsible for any act or default of any Receiver. The Lender may remove any Receiver and appoint another from time to time. An officer or employee of the Lender may be appointed as a Receiver. No Receiver appointed by the Lender need be appointed by, nor need its appointment be ratified by, or its actions in any way supervised by, a court. If two or more Receivers are appointed to act concurrently, they shall, unless otherwise expressly provided in the instrument appointing them, so act severally and not jointly and severally. The appointment of any Receiver or anything done by a Receiver or the removal or termination of any Receiver shall not have the effect of constituting the Lender a mortgagee in possession in respect of the Collateral Property.

6.3 Rights of a Receiver

Any Receiver appointed by the Lender shall have the following rights:

the Receiver from further exercise of its power of sale in accordance with this clause.

(vi)

The Corporation agrees that any Receiver may, in its discretion, approach a restricted number of potential purchasers to effect any sale of any Securities comprised in the Collateral Property pursuant to Subsection 6.3(b)(i) and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for Collateral Property than would otherwise be obtainable if the same were registered and sold in the open market. The Corporation agrees that:


(A)	in the event any Receiver shall so sell Collateral Property at such private sale or sales, the Receiver shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any person who regularly deals in or evaluates Securities of the type constituting the Collateral Property as to the best price obtainable in a commercially reasonable manner; and


(B)	such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Receiver handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner.

(c)

Carrying on Business. Any Receiver may carry on, or concur in the carrying on of, any of the business or undertaking of the Corporation and may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Corporation, enter upon, occupy and use any of the premises, buildings, plant and undertaking of or occupied or used by the Corporation and may use any of the Equipment and Intangibles of the Corporation for such time and such purposes as the Receiver sees fit. No Receiver shall be liable to the Corporation for any negligence in so doing or in respect of any rent, charges, costs, depreciation or damages in connection with any such action.

Pay Encumbrances. Any Receiver may pay any liability secured by any actual or threatened Encumbrance against any Collateral Property.

The Corporation will forthwith upon demand reimburse the Receiver for all such costs and expenses.

The Corporation shall forthwith on demand reimburse the Receiver for all such payments.

6.4 Right to have Court Appoint a Receiver

The Lender may, at any time, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Receiver, or other official, who may have powers the same as, greater or lesser than, or otherwise different from, those capable of being granted to a Receiver appointed by the Lender pursuant to this Debenture.

6.5 Lender may exercise rights of a Receiver

In lieu of, or in addition to, exercising its rights under Sections 6.3 and 6.4, but subject to Section 3.8, the Lender has, and may exercise, any of the rights which are capable of being granted to a Receiver appointed by the Lender pursuant to this Debenture.

6.6 Retention of Collateral Property

If the Security becomes enforceable, the Lender may elect to retain any Collateral Property in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. The Lender may designate any part of the Secured Obligations to be satisfied by the retention of particular Collateral Property which the Lender considers to have a net realizable value approximating the amount of the designated part of the Secured Obligations, in which case only the designated part of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to be satisfied by the retention of the particular Collateral Property.

6.7 Limitation of Liability

Neither the Lender, nor any Receiver shall be liable or accountable for any failure of the Lender or any Receiver to seize, collect, realize, dispose of, enforce or otherwise deal with any Collateral Property nor shall either of them be bound to institute any proceeding for any such purposes or for the purpose of preserving any rights of the Lender, the Corporation or any other person in respect of any Collateral Property. Neither the Lender, nor any Receiver shall be liable or responsible for any claim or loss and expense whatever which may accrue in consequence of any such failure resulting from any negligence of the Lender, any Receiver or any of their respective representatives or otherwise, except to the extent determined by a final judgment to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any Receiver, the Lender or their respective representatives. If any Receiver or the Lender takes possession of any Collateral Property, neither the Lender, nor any Receiver shall have any liability as a mortgagee in possession or be accountable for anything except actual receipts.

The Secured Obligations will be paid by the Corporation without regard to any equities between the Corporation and the Lender or any right of set-off.

If the Corporation fails to perform any Secured Obligations, without limiting any other provision hereof, the Lender or any Receiver may perform those Secured Obligations as attorney for the Corporation in accordance with Section 4.5.

Neither the Lender, nor any Receiver shall have any obligation under any such agreement, right or Licence, by reason of this Debenture, nor shall the Lender, or any Receiver be obliged to perform any of the obligations of the Corporation thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim made subject to the security of this Debenture. The rights conferred on the Lender and any Receiver under this Debenture are for the purpose of protecting the Security in the Collateral Property and shall not impose any obligation upon the Lender or any Receiver to exercise any such rights.

6.15 Effect of Appointment of Receiver

6.17 Marshalling

No right of the Lender or any Receiver shall be exclusive of or dependent on any other. Any such right may be exercised separately or in combination, and at any time.

Each Recovery received by the Lender will be applied by the Lender as follows:


(a)	First, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations due and owing to the Lender and/or any other Indemnified Party under the Secured Documents in such order as the Lender sees fit, or otherwise to be held by the Lender as security for the Secured Obligations, at its discretion, and
