Secured Convertible Preferred Note

Issuance Date: February 9, 2017

Principal: U.S. $2,000,000

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GOLD TORRENT, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to CRH MEZZANINE PTE. LTD., a Singapore private limited company, or its designee (the “Holder”) the amount of Two Million Dollars and no cents (US$2,000,000)(as such amount may be increased or reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, whether through the payment of PIK Interest (as defined below) or through redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay Interest (as defined below) on the outstanding Principal at the rates, in the manner and at the times set forth herein. This Secured Convertible Preferred Note (including all Secured Convertible Preferred Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is one of an issue of Secured Convertible Preferred Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below)(collectively, the “Notes”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 26. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(1) PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On the Maturity Date, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and the Company shall pay to the Holder in cash an amount equal to the outstanding Principal (if any) and accrued and unpaid Interest thereon. The “Maturity Date” shall be February 9, 2019.

(2) INTEREST. Simple interest (“Interest”) shall accrue on the outstanding Principal at the Interest Rate from and including the date set forth above opposite the caption “Issuance Date” (the “Issuance Date”) until the Principal is paid in full, shall be computed on a monthly basis and, subject to the right of the Holder to include accrued and unpaid Interest in the Conversion Amount (as defined below) in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) below, shall be payable in arrears for each Interest Period no later than the date that is five (5) Business Days after the last day of the applicable Interest Period (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).

(a) Payment of Interest. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date to the record holder of this Note as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, subject to Section 2(b), (i) in cash (“Cash Interest”) or (ii) prior to the Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date, (as defined below) the Company shall instead pay such Interest through the addition of the amount of such Interest to the then outstanding Principal (any Interest paid in such manner, “PIK Interest”), provided that the there is no Event of Default (as defined below).

(b) PIK Interest Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Interest that is paid in the form of PIK Interest shall be considered paid or duly provided for, for all purposes under this Note, and shall not be considered overdue. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable by the Holder with respect to PIK Interest; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of PIK Interest to any Person other than the Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such PIK Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Holder otherwise agree in writing, the Company shall not be entitled to pay PIK Interest and shall instead, subject to Section 2(a)(ii), be required to pay all accrued and unpaid Interest in the form of Cash Interest on the applicable Interest Payment Date if, on the applicable Interest Payment Date there is an Event of Default.

(c) Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to this Note, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on this Note under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Holder in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect hereof, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

(3) CONVERSION OF NOTES. This Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

(a) Conversion Right. The Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, in multiples of $1,000 (or, if less, any remaining Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest thereon), into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would otherwise result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable by the Company with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Common Stock to any Person other than the Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Common Stock issued upon conversion.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (i) such Conversion Amount by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below) (the “Conversion Rate”).

	A.	“Conversion Amount” means the sum of (1) the portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made, and (2) accrued and unpaid Interest, including any PIK Interest, with respect to such portion of the Principal.

	B.	“Conversion Price” means, subject to adjustment as provided herein and Section 8 of this Note, the conversion price per share calculated as follows:

X = $2,000,000

(A/B) - A

Where:

	X =	Conversion Price

	A =	Number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis on the Conversion Date (as defined below).*

	B =	0.85

Fully diluted for the purposes of this calculation means the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including any shares issuable in connection with a financing, restructuring, acquisition, going public or other transaction plus any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Common Stock Equivalents, ratchet, true up or similar rights or obligations of the Company without payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof.

(i)

Optional Conversion. The Holder, at its sole option, shall be entitled at any time to convert any portion of the outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, in multiples of $1,000 (or, if less, any remaining Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest thereon), into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall: (1) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (2) if required by Section 3(c)(iv), surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the second (2^nd) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent. On or before the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the portion of the Conversion Amount constituting principal, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note (the “Note Delivery Date”) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 16(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(ii)

Mandatory Conversion. If at any time from and after (A) the Company completes an equity raise of at least US$5,000,000 (which shall include the conversion of the Notes under this Section 3(c)(ii) for the purposes of the calculation) and (B) the earlier of: (the “Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date”) of: (1) the date the Company completes a Canadian Going Public Transaction or (2) the date on which the Streaming Transaction is fully funded under the terms of the Streaming Agreement, and subject to the Equity Conditions having been satisfied (or waived in writing by the Holder), during the period commencing on the Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date through the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below), the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to convert all, but not less than all, of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Note as designated in the Mandatory Conversion Notice (as defined below) into fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 3(c)(ii) at the Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below) (a “Mandatory Conversion”). The Company may exercise its right to require conversion under this Section 3(c)(ii), by delivering to Holder, not less than five (5) or more than ten (10) Company Trading Days prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, a written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder of the Note and the Transfer Agent (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice” and the date the Holder received such notice by facsimile is referred to as the “Mandatory Conversion Notice Date”). The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state (i) the Company Trading Day selected for the Mandatory Conversion in accordance with Section 3(c)(iii), which Company Trading Day shall be at least five (5) Company Trading Days but not more than ten (10) Company Trading Days following the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”), (ii) the Conversion Amount of the Note subject to mandatory conversion from the Holder of the Note pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

(iii)

Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail to issue a certificate to the Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion of any Conversion Amount on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the Conversion Date (a “Conversion Failure”), then (A) the Company shall pay damages in cash to the Holder for each date of such Conversion Failure in an amount equal to 1.25% of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(iii) or otherwise. At the Holder’s option in lieu of the foregoing, if within three (3) Company Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Common Stock Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request (which shall include written evidence of a Common Stock Buy-In) and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Common Stock Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Common Stock Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.

(iv)

Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Principal represented by this Note is being converted, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the portion of Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

(4) Holder’s conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to Section 3 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion as set forth on the applicable Conversion Notice or Mandatory Conversion Notice, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) convert of the remaining, non-converted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4 applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Conversion Notice or Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Note is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4, in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 4 shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Holder declares the Notes to be immediately due and payable (or the Notes become due and payable following an Event of Default under clauses (iv) or (v) of Section 5(a)) and the (x) the sum of the Outstanding Note Obligations plus the Event of Default Premium (if any) (the sum of such amounts, the “Event of Default Redemption Price”) is less than (y) the product of (1) the Conversion Rate that would have been applicable to the Outstanding Note Obligations if the Holder’s Note had been submitted for conversion into shares of Common Stock on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default and (2) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default (the product of such amounts, the “Alternative Event of Default Redemption Price”), the Company shall pay to the Holder in cash, in lieu of the Event of Default Redemption Price, the Alternative Event of Default Redemption Price. The Company shall pay the Event of Default Redemption Price or the Alternative Event of Default Redemption Price, as applicable, to the Holder within five (5) Business Days after the date that the Outstanding Note Obligations are declared due and payable, and upon full payment, the Notes shall be extinguished.

(6) RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amount and the interest rate of this Note and having similar ranking to this Note, and satisfactory to the Holder (any such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the conversion or redemption of this Note prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. The provisions of this Section 6(a) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

(b) Holder Redemption Right. No later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date of the consummation of such Change of Control (or, in the event a Change of Control Notice is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control, at any time on or after the date which is ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control and ending ten (10) days after the consummation of such Change of Control), the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note in cash by delivering written notice thereof (“Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 6 shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control by (B) the Conversion Price and (ii) 110% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed (the “Holder Change of Control Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 6(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to common stockholders in connection with a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(b), until the Holder Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 6(b) (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.

(7) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS. Subject to Section 6(a) hereof, in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

(8) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

(a) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Shares covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case “Distributed Property”), then, unless taken into account pursuant to Section 8(b) below, upon any conversion of this Note that occurs after such record date, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed Property that the Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such record date.

(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(c) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Lower Price Issuance. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date issues or agrees to issue additional shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any Person or entity at an effective price per share or conversion or exercise price per share that is less than the Conversion Price in effect at such time, then the Conversion Price shall automatically be reduced to such other lower price. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this section the issuance of any security of the Corporation carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the adjustments described above upon the sooner of the agreement to issue or actual issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or option and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Conversion Price in effect upon such issuance.

(9) COLLATERAL. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is secured by the Security Agreement by and between the Company, certain other grantors party thereto, and the Holder, which creates legal and valid encumbrances on an assignment of all of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement).

(20) FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder of this Note in exercising any power or right under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof of the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any notice in similar or other circumstances. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
