ARTICLE 2 – CREDIT EXTENSIONS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
Section 2.1 Promise to Pay
Each Borrower promises to pay to Bank the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by Bank to Borrowers, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms hereof. All payments (whether on account of principal, interest or otherwise) shall be made in the currency in which the Credit Extension is outstanding.
Section 2.2 Revolving Facility
(1)Establishment and Purpose of Revolving Facility. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank establishes in favour of Borrowers the Revolving Facility. Borrower covenants to use the Revolving Facility only for the purpose of financing its working capital needs and acquisitions permitted hereunder pursuant to Section 7.3.
(2)Advances Under the Revolving Facility.
(a) | Amount and Availability. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a Borrower may request Advances in Canadian Dollars or US Dollars in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the Revolving Maximum Amount, less the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued under the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the aggregate limits of the corporate credit cards issued to Borrower under the Credit Card Services Sublimit. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.2(2) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time without penalty or premium prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.2(2) shall be immediately due and payable. |
2 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
(b) | Form of Request. Whenever a Borrower desires an Advance, such Borrower will notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time, on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Loan Payment/Advance Telephone Request Form in substantially the form of Exhibit B. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any facsimile or telephonic notice given by a Person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer, and each Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.2(2) to the applicable Borrower’s deposit account. |
(c) | Letter of Credit Sublimit. Subject to the availability under the Revolving Facility, and in reliance on the representations and warranties of Borrowers set forth herein, at any time and from time to time from the date hereof through the Business Day immediately prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, Bank shall issue for the account of Borrowers such Letters of Credit as a Borrower may request by delivering to Bank a duly executed letter of credit application on Bank’s standard form; provided, however, that the outstanding and undrawn amounts under all such Letters of Credit (i) shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and (ii) shall be deemed to constitute Advances for the purpose of calculating availability under the Revolving Facility; provided further, that the maturity date of any such Letter of Credit shall not be later than the Revolving Maturity Date. Any drawn but unreimbursed amounts under any Letters of Credit shall be charged as Advances against the Revolving Facility. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s form application and letter of credit agreement. Borrowers will pay any standard issuance and other fees that Bank notifies Borrowers it will charge for issuing and processing Letters of Credit. |
(d) | Credit Card Services Sublimit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a Borrower may request corporate credit cards from Bank (collectively, the “Credit Card Services”). The aggregate limit of the corporate credit cards shall not exceed the Credit Card Services Sublimit, provided that availability under the Revolving Facility shall be reduced by the aggregate limits of the corporate credit cards issued to Borrowers. In addition, Bank may, in its sole discretion, charge as Advances any amounts that become due or owing to Bank in connection with the Credit Card Services. The terms and conditions (including repayment and fees) of such Credit Card Services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Bank’s standard forms of application and agreement for the Credit Card Services, which Borrowers hereby agree to execute. |
(e) | Collateralization of Obligations Extending Beyond Maturity. Any Letters of Credit, Credit Card Services or FX Contracts that may extend beyond the Revolving Maturity Date, then, effective as of the Revolving Maturity Date, the balance in any deposit accounts held by Bank and the certificates of deposit or time deposit accounts issued by Bank in any Borrower’s name (and any interest paid thereon or proceeds thereof, including any amounts payable upon the maturity or liquidation of such certificates or accounts), shall automatically secure such obligations to the extent of the then continuing or outstanding and undrawn Letters of Credit, Credit Card Services or FX Contracts; provided, however, that if there are insufficient balances in such accounts to secure such obligations, Borrowers shall immediately deposit such additional funds as are necessary to fully secure such obligations. Each Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honour any drafts thereon or any requests by any Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the Letters of Credit, Credit Card Services or FX Contracts are outstanding or continue. |
3 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
Section 2.3 FX Facility
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other agreement that Borrowers may enter into with Bank in connection with foreign exchange transactions (“FX Contracts”), a Borrower may request Bank to enter into FX Contracts with such Borrower due not later than the Revolving Maturity Date. Borrowers shall pay any standard issuance and other fees that Bank notifies Borrowers will be charged for issuing and processing FX Contracts for Borrowers. The FX Amount shall at all times be equal to or less than One Hundred Million US Dollars (US$100,000,000). The“FX Amount” shall equal the amount determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate amount, in United States Dollars, of FX Contracts between Borrowers and Bank remaining outstanding as of any date of determination by (ii) the applicable Foreign Exchange Reserve Percentage as of such date. The“Foreign Exchange Reserve Percentage” shall be a percentage as determined by Bank, in its sole discretion from time to time. The initial Foreign Exchange Reserve Percentage shall be three percent (3%).
Section 2.4 Overadvances
If, at any time, the aggregate US Dollar Amount of the outstanding Advances exceeds the Revolving Maximum Amount, whether as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations or otherwise, Borrowers shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess. Any determination made by Bank in accordance with this Section shall be binding on Borrowers absent manifest error and Borrowers shall make any repayment required in connection therewith in accordance with this Section.
Section 2.5 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations
(1)Interest Rates. Except as set forth in Section 2.5(2), the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding Daily Balance thereof, at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the Prime Rate plus 1.00% in respect of Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars,and (ii) the US Prime Referenced Rate plus 1.00% in respect of Advances denominated in US Dollars. Each determination by Bank of the Prime Rate, the US Prime Rate or the US Prime Referenced Rate shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on Borrowers.
(2)Late Fee; Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default that is continuing, and so long as any such Event of Default remains unremedied or uncured thereafter, the Obligations outstanding under this Agreement shall bear interest at a per annum rate of five percent (5%) above the otherwise applicable interest rate hereunder, which interest shall be payable upon demand. In no event shall the interest payable under this Agreement at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.
(3)Payments. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid balance of the Obligations outstanding hereunder shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month, until maturity (whether as stated herein, by acceleration, or otherwise). In the event that any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on any day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, to the extent applicable, interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon during such extension at the rates set forth herein. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against the deposit account of a Borrower or against the Revolving Facility, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Borrowers shall repay in full the outstanding principal balance of all Advances under and all accrued and unpaid interest and other Obligations in connection with the Revolving Facility on the Revolving Maturity Date.
(4)Computation. In the event the Prime Rate, the US Prime Rate or the US Prime Referenced Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate, US Prime Rate or US Prime Referenced Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate, US Prime Rate or US Prime Referenced Rate. Interest on Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on Advances denominated in US Dollars hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
4 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
(5)Interest Act (Canada). For the purpose of theInterest Act (Canada), where in this Agreement a rate of interest is to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate is equivalent is the rate multiplied by the number of days in the year for which the calculation is made and divided by 360, 365 or 366, as applicable. Further, in this Agreement all interest shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method and the “deemed re investment principle” shall not apply to such calculations.
(6)Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of theCriminal Code (Canada)) payable by Borrowers under the Loan Documents exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in Section 347 of theCriminal Code (Canada)) under this Agreement lawfully permitted by that Section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of theCriminal Code (Canada)) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that Section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of Borrowers and Bank and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to Borrowers. For the purposes of this paragraph the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Bank will be prima facie evidence of such rate.
Section 2.6 Crediting Payments
Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, cheque or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as a Borrower specifies. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately apply any wire transfer of funds, cheque or other item of payment Bank may receive to conditionally reduce Obligations, but such applications of funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available funds or unless and until such cheque or other item of payment is honoured when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 2:00 noon Eastern time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.
Section 2.7 Fees
Borrowers shall pay to Bank, on the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, as and when they become due.
Section 2.8 Regulatory Developments and Other Circumstances
(a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Obligations under this Agreement, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or interest under this Agreement or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which Bank’s principal executive office or LIBOR Lending Office is located); or (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank, or shall impose on Bank or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting the Obligations; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of maintaining any part of the Obligations or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under this Agreement by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then Borrowers shall pay to Bank, within fifteen (15) days of Borrowers’ receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate of Bank, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrowers, setting forth the basis for determining such
5 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) In the event that any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank (or any corporation controlling Bank), and Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or the maintaining of any Obligations, and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or the maintaining of such Obligations to a level below that which Bank (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then Borrowers shall pay to Bank, within fifteen (15) days of Borrowers’ receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate Bank (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which Bank reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or to maintaining any Obligations. A certificate of Bank as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrowers, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.
Section 2.9 Tax Indemnification
(1)Payments Not Subject to Taxes. All payments (each a “Loan-Related Payment”) whatsoever due under this Agreement or, in the case of enforcement, under any Security, will be made by Borrowers free and clear of, and without liability or withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any country or jurisdiction from or through which Loan-Related Payments are made (the “Tax Jurisdiction”) unless the withholding or deduction of any such Tax is required by law.
(2) | Taxes and Indemnification. |
(a) | Payment of Taxes By Borrower: If any deduction or withholding for Tax shall at any time be required by law in respect of any Loan-Related Payments, each Borrower acknowledges its obligation promptly: |
(i) | to pay over to the government or taxing authority imposing such Tax the full amount of Taxes (the “Tax Amount”) required to be deducted or withheld in respect thereof (including, without limitation, the full amount of any Tax required to be deducted or withheld from or otherwise paid in respect of any related Tax Reimbursement Amount (as defined below)), and |
(ii) | except as expressly provided in Section 2.9(2)(b) hereof, to pay to Bank such additional amount (the “Tax Reimbursement Amount”) as is necessary in order that the amount received by Bank, on the date such Loan-Related Payment is due after any required deduction or withholding of such Tax (including, without limitation, any required deduction, withholding or other payment of Tax on or with respect to such Tax Reimbursement Amount), shall equal the amount Bank would have received had no such deduction, withholding or other payment of such Tax been required. |
(b) | Reimbursement of Bank-Paid Amounts: Each Borrower shall indemnify Bank for the full amount of Taxes paid or required to be paid by Bank on amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement or any Security and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom, together with such amounts as will result in Bank receiving the amount that would otherwise have been received by it in the absence of such Taxes and the indemnification provided for herein. Except where a Borrower is required to deduct or withhold a Tax Amount as described in Section 2.9(2)(a) hereof, Bank shall notify Borrowers of any Taxes for which any Borrower is required to indemnify Bank pursuant to this Section 2.9(2)(b) and of the amount payable to it by Borrowers pursuant hereto and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to Bank within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of such notice. |
6 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
(c) | Notification Obligations: Borrowers will promptly furnish Bank with copies of the official receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts deducted or withheld as aforesaid (and paid over to such authorities) in respect of such Tax. |
Determinations by Bank for the purposes of this Section 2.9 of sums received by it, including any additional amounts required to compensate it in respect thereto, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Section 2.10 Currency Indemnity
(1) | Indemnity. If: |
(a) | any amount payable under, or in connection with any matter relating to or arising out of, the Loan Documents is received by Bank in a currency (the “Payment Currency”) other than that agreed to be payable hereunder or thereunder (the “Agreed Currency”), whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order, judgment or decision of any court, tribunal, arbitration panel or administrative agency or as a result of any bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation or other insolvency type proceedings or otherwise; and |
(b) | the amount so produced by converting the Payment Currency so received into the Agreed Currency is less than the relevant amount of the Agreed Currency; |
then:
(c) | the amount so received shall constitute a discharge of the liability of Borrowers under or in connection any of the Loan Documents only to the extent of the amount received following the conversion described in paragraph (b) above; and |
(d) | Borrowers shall, joint and severally, indemnify and save Bank harmless from and against such deficiency and any loss or damage arising as a result thereof. |
Any conversion pursuant to this Section 2.10(1) shall be made at such prevailing rate of exchange on the date the Payment Currency is received by Bank and in such market as is determined by Bank as being the most appropriate for such conversion. Borrowers shall in addition pay the costs of such conversion.
(2) | Independent Obligation. The indemnity set out in Section 2.10(1): |
(a) | is a joint and several obligation of each Borrower which is separate and independent from all other obligations of such Borrower under any of the Loan Documents; |
(b) | gives rise to a separate and independent cause of action; |
(c) | applies irrespective of any indulgence granted by or on behalf of Bank; and |
(d) | continues in full force and effect notwithstanding, and does not merge with, any order, judgment or decision of any court, tribunal, arbitration panel or administrative agency or as a result of any bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation or other insolvency type proceeding or otherwise as to any amount due under this Agreement and the Security or in connection herewith or therewith. |
Section 2.11 Term
This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its
7 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

ARTICLE 9 – BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
Section 9.1 Rights and Remedies
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrowers:
20 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
(a) | Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 (insolvency), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank); |
(b) | Demand that Borrowers (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, outstanding Credit Card Services, or outstanding FX Contracts, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, outstanding Credit Card Services, or outstanding FX Contracts, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit, Credit Card Services fees, or FX Contracts fees, and Borrowers shall promptly deposit and pay such amounts; |
(c) | Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement or under any other agreement between any Borrower and Bank; |
(d) | Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable; |
(e) | Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers agree to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Borrowers authorize Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrowers’ owned premises, Borrowers hereby grant Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; |
(f) | Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower held by Bank, and (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower held by Bank; |
(g) | Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrowers’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit; |
(h) | Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrowers’ premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate. Bank may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Bank may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Bank sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrowers will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Bank, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may resell the Collateral and Borrowers shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale; |
(i) | Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; |
21 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
(j) | Enforce and realize on Security; |
(k) | Apply for the appointment of a receiver, receiver-manager, receiver and manager, interim receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Collateral, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard to the solvency of any Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations; and |
(l) | Proceed to exercise any and all rights under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or otherwise permitted by law. |
Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. Bank may comply with any applicable provincial, territorial, state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
Section 9.2 Power of Attorney
Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse such Borrower’s name on any cheques or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession; (c) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to such Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; (g) file any of such Borrower’s tax returns and related documents with the appropriate Governmental Authority; (h) enter into a short-form intellectual property security agreement consistent with the terms of this Agreement for recording purposes only or modify, in its sole discretion, any security agreement entered into between such Borrower and Bank without first obtaining such Borrower’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending the exhibits or schedules thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or other Intellectual Property Collateral acquired by such Borrower after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or other Intellectual Property Collateral in which such Borrower no longer has or claims to have any right, title or interest; and (i) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing statements, financing change statements or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of such Borrower where permitted by law; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of such Borrower on any of the documents described in clauses (h) and (i) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as a Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extension hereunder is terminated.
Section 9.3 Accounts Collection
At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to a Borrower of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to such Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
Section 9.4 Bank Expenses

22 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
under any facility as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
Section 9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral
Bank has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.
Section 9.6 No Obligation to Pursue Others
Bank has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them and Bank may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Bank’s rights against Borrowers. Each Borrower waives any right it may have to require Bank to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations.
Section 9.7 Remedies Cumulative
Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the PPSA, the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on a Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver.

No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Each Borrower expressly agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Bank by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise.

25 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers, including without limitation Disbursement Request Forms, Borrowing Base Certificates and Compliance Certificates. Furthermore, the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group of Borrowers, such that each Borrower will benefit from any Credit Extensions Bank makes to another Borrower.

This authorization cannot be revoked, and Bank need not inquire as to each Borrower’s authority to act for or on behalf of a Borrower.
Section 13.4 Subrogation and Similar Rights
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating a Borrower to the rights of Bank under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 13.4 shall be null and void.

Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Bank from foreclosing on the Lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder, and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of Bank that changes the scope of a Borrower’s risks hereunder.
Section 13.6 Right to Settle, Release
(1) The liability of Borrowers hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement, understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by another Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, of rights, if any, which Bank may now or hereafter have against any other Person, including another Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.
26 | LOAN AGREEMENT |
(2) Without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Bank may (i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents relating to the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (iv) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether pledged by a Borrower or any other Person, or (v) compromise, settle, renew, or extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other Person who is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the Obligations.
Section 13.7 Subordination
All indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter arising held by another Borrower is subordinated to the Obligations and such Borrower holding the indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by Bank to effect, to enforce and to give notice of such subordination.
