For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever interest to be paid under this agreement is to be calculated using a rate based on a period of time that is less than a calendar year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation- when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest is payable ends, and divided by the number of days used in such period of time.

3.5

Nominal Rate of Interest

The parties acknowledge and agree that all calculations of interest under this Agreement and the documents related thereto are to be made on the basis of the nominal interest rate described herein and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or on any other basis which gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest.  The parties acknowledge that there is a material difference between the stated nominal interest rates and the effective yearly rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations required to determine such effective yearly rates of interest.

3.6

Criminal Rate of Interest

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 3, the Borrower shall in no event be obliged to make any payments of interest or other amounts payable to the Lender hereunder in excess of an amount or rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in the receipt by the Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)).

3.7

Interest Calculation

(a)

Interest:  The principal amount outstanding from time to time hereunder, as to the Loan, shall bear interest at a rate of 6.65%.

(b)

Interest shall be calculated and payable monthly on the daily outstanding principal, and shall accrue both after and before maturity, default and judgment, with interest on overdue interest at the same rate computed from the date of each Advance calculated and payable monthly, in arrears, by 1:00 p.m. (EST) on the fifteenth (15th) day of each and every month in each and every year during the term commencing on the 15th day of the month next following the date of the Advance.

3.8

Increased Costs, Capital Adequacy, etc.

(a)

If any change in Applicable Law:

(i)

subjects the Lender to any cost or Tax or changes the basis of Taxation of payments due to the Lender or increases any existing cost or Tax on payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement (except for increased Taxes on the overall net income, assets or capital of the Lender);

(ii)

imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, regulatory or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by, the Lender or any drafts accepted by the Lender;

(iii)

imposes on the Lender a change in the manner in which the Lender is required to allocate capital resources to its obligations under this Agreement; or

(iv)

imposes on the Lender any other cost, Tax or condition with respect to this Agreement,

and the result of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) is, in the determination of the Lender, acting reasonably, to increase the cost to the Lender, or to impose a liability on or to reduce the income or return receivable by the Lender in respect of this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender that amount which indemnifies the Lender for such additional cost, liability or reduction in income or return (“Additional Compensation”).  Upon the Lender having determined that it is entitled to Additional Compensation, it shall within ten (10) Business Days of becoming aware of such Additional Compensation promptly notify the Borrower.  A certificate by a duly authorized officer of the Lender setting forth the amount of the Additional Compensation and the basis for it shall be prima facie evidence, in the absence of manifest error, of the amount of the Additional Compensation.  The Additional Compensation shall accrue from the date of delivery of the certificate to the Borrower.  If the Lender subsequently recovers all or a part thereof, it will repay an amount equal to such recovery to the Borrower.  For greater certainty, it is acknowledged that, if such increased cost, liability or reduction in income or return is also applicable, in part, to dealings between the Lender and its other customers, the obligation of the Borrower under this section to provide compensation therefor will not arise unless the Lender, as a general practice, also requires compensation therefor from such other customers and will not exceed the amount that is directly proportionate to the extent to which such increased costs, liabilities or reductions in income or return are attributable to the Borrower and the Loan made by the Lender hereunder.

(b)

If the Lender notifies the Borrower that Additional Compensation is owed to the Lender pursuant to Section 3.8(a), the Borrower shall have the right to make payment in full to the Lender in respect of the Loan within 30 days of the date specified of such notice, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date of repayment and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the termination, together with the Accelerated Amount provided that in such circumstances the Additional Compensation shall not be payable as to any period of time after such repayment.

3.9

Taxes

The following shall apply as to Taxes payable:

17


 

(a)

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Obligors hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that if the Obligor(s) shall be required to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Obligor(s) shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Obligor(s) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b)

In addition, the Borrower shall pay any such Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c)

The Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any such Taxes paid by the Lender, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender, shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error.

(d)

As soon as practicable after any payment of any such Taxes by the Obligors to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

3.10

Prepayment

(a)

Voluntary Prepayment.  Subject to the terms of the Agent Intercreditor Agreement, the Borrower is permitted to prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, at any time, provided that the Borrower gives to the Lender thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, and at the time the Borrower makes prepayment pursuant to this section, the Borrower shall also pay to the Lender the Interest Rate Differential, if any and if positive.

(b)

Mandatory Prepayment.  Subject to the terms of the Agent Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that the Borrower makes any mandatory prepayment under the Loan, whether in an Event of Default, on demand, or recalculation or otherwise, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender Lender the Interest Rate Differential, if any and if positive.

3.11

Place and Manner of Payment

The Borrower shall pay to the Lender, the principal and interest due at or before 1:00 p.m. on the date on which such principal and interest is due at 70 University Avenue, Suite 1200, Toronto, Ontario, or such other address as the Lender may advise from time to time by preauthorized chequing authority, and the Borrower will enter into any agreement and issue any payment instruction required to make payment on a direct pre-authorized debit from the Borrower’s account basis.  The receipt of funds shall satisfy and discharge the liability for the principal and interest to the extent of the sums represented thereby, unless such payment shall for any reason be reversed, stopped or otherwise not made as full and final, in which case the payment will be replaced immediately on notice from the Lender.

3.12

No Set-Off

The obligations of the Borrower to make all payments of principal and interest and all other amounts due hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation, any set-off, compensation, counter-claim, recoupment, defence or other right which the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person may have against the Lender or anyone else for any reason whatsoever.

3.13

Interest on Overdue Amounts

If the Borrower fails to pay any installment of interest or principal on the date on which the same is due, the Borrower shall pay interest on such overdue amount at the rate of interest under this Agreement then in effect. At any time, upon and during the continuance of a default in the payment of any other amount (other than principal and interest) due under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall pay interest on such overdue amount (which overdue amount, for greater certainty, shall not include overdue principal or interest) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate of interest under this Agreement then in effect plus 2%.  Interest on overdue amounts shall be payable on demand and shall be calculated on a daily basis and compounded monthly from the date such amount becomes due and payable and for so long as such amount remains unpaid and on the basis of a year of 365 days.  All interest provided for in this Agreement shall be payable both before and after maturity, default and judgment.

18


 

3.14

Fee

A commitment fee will be paid by the Borrower to the Lender of one percent (1%) of the principal amount of the Loan or $290,000.00, of which $87,000.00 has been paid to date with the balance to be paid at on the date of the Advance.

Events of Default

Each and every of the following shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement:

(a)

if the Borrower makes any default in payment of the principal and/or interest owing as Indebtedness as and when the same becomes due under any provision hereof and fails to cure such Default within five (5) days of the due date of such payment;

(b)

if any Obligor shall neglect to carry out or observe any covenant or condition (other than those relating to the payment of principal and interest as set forth in 6.1(a)) or if any Obligor shall neglect to carry out or observe any covenant or condition under the Security, and fails to cure such Default within thirty (30) days from the date of occurrence of such Default;

(c)

if any Obligor ceases, or threatens to cease, carrying on its business or if a petition shall be filed, an order shall be made or a resolution be passed for the winding-up or liquidation of any Obligor, or the auditor at any time issues an audit report expressing a “going concern” qualification with respect to any Obligor;

(d)

if any Obligor shall make a bulk sale of its assets (other than a bulk sale of assets among the Obligors after which bulk sale of assets the Lender has the same priority of security interest over the assets as prior to the bulk sale of such assets, being a first-ranking security interest in all of the assets of each of the Obligors subject only to Permitted Liens), a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, a proposal under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), or if a bankruptcy petition shall be filed or presented with respect to any Obligor and with respect to such proceeding instituted against it, such is not removed or discharged or unstayed prior to the legal effect of such process, or if a custodian, sequestrator, receiver, receiver and manager, or any other officer with similar powers shall be appointed of its properties, or any part thereof of any Obligor which is, in the opinion of the Lender, a substantial part thereof;

(e)

if any proceedings respecting any Obligor are commenced by or against any Obligor under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), the Winding-Up and Restructuring Act (Canada), or any legislation or other provision of law providing for similar effect;

(f)

if an encumbrancer shall take possession of the Property of any Obligor or any part thereof which is, in the opinion of the Lender, a substantial part thereof, or if a distress or execution or any similar process be levied or enforced against any Obligor, and such remains unsatisfied for such period as would permit such Property or such part thereof which is, in the opinion of the Lender, a substantial part to be sold or seized thereunder and such Property is not released or such process is not stayed prior to the date on which possession by such encumbrancer becomes legally effective;

(g)

if a default shall occur under any obligation of any Obligor to repay borrowed money or interest thereon to any Person which is outstanding in an aggregate amount exceeding $250,000 and such default is not waived or rectified within the period provided for rectification in any governing agreement;

(h)

if any of the representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect from time to time;

(i)

if, without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, there is a Change in Control exept as permitted in accordance with Section 5.4(n); or

(j)

if any Obligor purports to assign any Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Lender.

6.2

Acceleration on Event of Default

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, at law, or in equity, by written notice to the Borrower, declare the Indebtedness and the Interest Rate Differential to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall forthwith become immediately due and payable, and the Borrower shall forthwith pay to the Lender the Indebtedness.  For greater certainty, the Lender shall be entitled to the Interest Rate Differential upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

29


 

6.3

Waiver of Default

The Lender may at any time waive in writing any Default or Event of Default which may have occurred, provided that no such waiver shall extend to, or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect, any subsequent Event of Default or the rights or remedies resulting therefrom.  No delay or failure by the Lender to exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall impair any such right or remedy, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default hereunder or under the Security, or acquiescence therein.

6.4

Indebtedness Due Under Security

An Event of Default hereunder shall also be a default under each Security instrument and vice versa.

6.5

Remedies Cumulative

Each of the remedies available to the Lender is a separate remedy and in no way is a limitation on any one or more of the other remedies otherwise available to the Lender.  Subject to the terms of the Agent Intercreditor Agreement, the rights and remedies herein expressly specified or in the Security are cumulative and not exclusive.  The Lender may, in its sole discretion, exercise any and all rights, powers, remedies and recourses available herein or in the Security, or any other remedy available to it, and such rights, powers, remedies and recourses may be exercised concurrently or individually without the necessity of any election.

30


 

ARTICLE 7
ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY

7.1

Remedies

Whenever the Security has become enforceable, but subject to the provisions hereof and subject in all respects to the terms of the Agent Intercreditor Agreement:

(a)

the Lender may proceed to enforce its rights by any action, suit, remedy or proceeding authorized or permitted by law or by equity, and may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims lodged in any bankruptcy, winding-up or other judicial proceeding relative to any Obligor;

(b)

the Lender may enter into and upon and take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with full power to carry on, manage and conduct the business and operations of the Obligors, including the power to borrow monies or advance its own monies for the purpose of such business operations, the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral or any part thereof, the payment of Taxes, wages and other charges ranking in priority to the Indebtedness and operating expenses.  The Lender shall specifically have the right to exercise the rights and remedies of the Obligors under any joint venture, limited partnership, trust or equivalent agreement or arrangement.  The monies so borrowed or advanced shall be repaid by the Obligors on demand and until repaid with interest thereon at the rate per annum provided in Section 3.7 hereunder calculated monthly, in arrears, shall be paid in priority to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by the Security.  The Lender shall have the right to demand and to receive the revenues, incomes, issues and profits of the Collateral and to pay therefrom all of its expenses, charges and advances in carrying on the business operations or otherwise, of the Obligors, and the payment of all Taxes, assessments and other charges against the Collateral ranking in priority to the Indebtedness, or payment of which may be necessary to preserve the Collateral, and to apply the remainder of the monies so received in accordance with the provisions hereof;

(c)

the Lender may, either after entry as provided herein, or without any entry, and with or without possession or control of the Collateral sell and dispose of all the Collateral, either as a whole or in separate parcels at public auction, by tender, or by private contract at such time and on such terms and conditions, having first given such notice of the time and place of such sale, as it may think proper.  The Lender may make such sale whether by auction, tender or private contract, either for cash, upon credit, or in exchange for bonds, mortgages, stocks or other securities of another Person, or any combination thereof upon such reasonable conditions as to terms of payment as it may deem proper, and upon any such sale, shall be obliged to account to the Obligors only in relation to monies actually received and only at the time of receipt.  It shall be lawful for the Lender to rescind or vary any Contract of sale that may have been entered into, and resell with or under any of the powers conferred herein, to adjourn any such sale from time to time, and to execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers of the said Collateral, or any part thereof, good and sufficient deed or deeds for the same, the Lender being hereby irrevocably constituted an attorney of each Obligor for the purpose thereof, any such sale made as aforesaid shall be a perpetual bar both in law and equity against each Obligor and its assigns and all other Persons claiming the said Collateral or any part or parcel thereof, by, from, through, or under each Obligor or its assigns, and the proceeds of any such sale shall be distributed in the manner hereinafter provided;

(d)

the Lender or any agent or representative thereof, may become the purchaser at any sale of the Collateral whether made under the power of sale herein contained, pursuant to foreclosure, or other judicial proceedings; and

(e)

with respect to any US-based Obligors, exercise any other rights or remedies afforded under the UCC.  Such rights and remedies include the rights to (i) take possession of any Collateral; (ii) require such Obligors to assemble Collateral, at Obligors’ expense, and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender; (iii) enter any premises where Collateral is located and store Collateral on such premises until sold (and if the premises are owned or leased by any such Obligor, such Obligors agree not to charge for such storage); and (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in its then condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale, with such notice as may be required by Applicable Law, in lots or in bulk, at such locations, all as Lender, in its discretion, deems advisable.  Each such Obligor agrees that 10 days’ notice of any proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral by Lender shall be reasonable, and that any sale conducted on the internet or to a licensor of Intellectual Property shall be commercially reasonable.  Lender may conduct sales on any Obligor’s premises, without charge, and any sales may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with Applicable Law.  Lender shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Lender may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by Applicable Law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may credit bid and set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.

7.2

Remedies Not Prejudiced by Delay

No delay or omission of the Lender to exercise any remedy shall impair any such remedy, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default hereunder or under the Security, or acquiescence therein.

31


 

7.3

Yield Possession

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Obligors shall yield possession of the Collateral and the conduct of the business in connection therewith to the Lender and agree to put no obstacles in the way of, but to facilitate by all legal means, the actions of the Lender hereunder, and not to interfere with the carrying out of the powers hereby granted to it.  Each Obligor shall forthwith, by and through its officers and directors, at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, and upon request in writing by the Lender, execute such documents and transfers as may be necessary to place the Lender in legal possession of the Collateral and its business in connection therewith, and thereupon all the powers and functions, rights and privileges of each and every of its directors and officers shall cease with respect to the possession of the Collateral, unless specifically continued in writing by the Lender, or unless the Collateral shall have been restored to the Obligors.

7.4

Lender Entitled to Perform Covenants

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Lender may, in its discretion, perform any of the covenants of the Obligors capable of being performed by the Lender, and if any such covenant requires the payment or expenditure of money, the Lender may make payments or expenditure with its own funds, or with money borrowed by or advanced to it for such purpose, but shall be under no obligation to do so, and all sums so expended or advanced shall be at once payable by the Borrower on demand, shall bear interest at the rate of twelve per cent (12%) per annum, calculated and payable monthly, in arrears, until paid, and shall be payable out of any funds coming into the possession of the Lender in priority to the Indebtedness, but no such performance or payment shall be deemed to relieve any Obligor from any Event of Default hereunder.

7.5

The Lender as Lender and Power of Attorney

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, and written notification by the Lender, each Obligor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender to be its attorney, and in its name and on its behalf, to execute and carry out any deeds, documents, transfers, conveyances, assignments, assurances, consents and things which such Obligor ought to, or may, sign, execute and do hereunder, and generally to use its name in the exercise of all or any of the powers hereby conferred on the Lender, with full power of substitution and revocation.  Such appointment is coupled with an interest.  In the exercise of all of its rights hereunder, the Lender shall be, so far as concerns responsibility for its action or inaction, the agent of the Obligors.

7.6

For the Protection of the Lender

In realizing upon the Collateral, the Lender shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by any demand, collection, enforcement, sale or other realization thereof, or the failure to, or delay in, demand, collect, enforce or sell any portion, and the Lender shall not be bound to protect the Collateral from depreciating in value.  Upon any sale or realization of the Collateral by way of public auction, the Lender may become purchaser free from any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity is expressly waived by the Obligors and the Lender may, in paying the purchase price, apply so much of the obligations of the Obligors hereunder on account of the purchase price as may be necessary for such purpose.

7.7

Charges for Late Payment

Notwithstanding any waiver or enforcement of an Event of Default hereunder, the Borrower acknowledges that the Lender shall be paid interest on overdue interest at the applicable rate set out in Section 3.7 and the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($250.00) in each instance, to compensate for costs, penalties or expenses caused to the Lender arising as a result of any payment made after its due date hereunder.

32
