ARTICLE 3

SECURITY

 

3.1

Security

 

  (a)

Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, as general and continuing collateral security for the payment and satisfaction of its own Obligations, the Corporation and each Subsidiary Guarantor has granted pursuant to the Security Documents to the Lender a security interest in, and charges by way of a fixed and a floating charge, the whole of the undertaking of the Corporation or Subsidiary Guarantor (as the case may be) and all of its property and assets, real and personal, movable and immovable, tangible and intangible, of every nature and kind whatsoever, wheresoever situate, both now owned and hereafter acquired. The security under the Security Documents remains in full force and effect unamended, including therewith the guarantee of the guarantees given by the Subsidiary Guarantors, and extends to and includes the amended and restated terms of this Debenture including without limitation the advance of the tranche 2.

 

  (b)

The Corporation and each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Lender hereby acknowledge that (i) value has been given to the Corporation by the Lender, (ii) the Corporation and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors have rights in the Secured Property (other than after—acquired property), including without limitation the right to grant the Lender a security interest in the Secured Property, and (iii) the Corporation and the Subsidiary Guarantors have not agreed to postpone the time of attachment of the security interest granted to the Lender hereunder.

 

3.2

Exceptions as to Leases

The last day of any term created by any lease, verbal or written, or any agreement therefor, now held or hereafter acquired by the Corporation or any Subsidiary Guarantor is excepted out of the Secured Property, but the Corporation or Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall stand possessed of any such reversion remaining in the Corporation or Subsidiary Guarantor of any leasehold premises in trust for the Lender to assign and dispose thereof as the Lender may direct. Where the giving of a charge or security interest on any real or personal property held by the Corporation or a Subsidiary Guarantor under lease requires the consent of the lessor of such

 

18


property, the giving of the charge or security interest hereunder on such property shall not take effect until such consent is obtained or legally dispensed with but the suspension of the effect of the charge or security interest on such property shall not affect the charge or security interest on any other property of the Corporation or Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable.

 

3.3

Exception as to Contractual Rights

 

  (a)

To the extent that the creation of a granted security interest would constitute a breach, or cause the acceleration, of any agreement, right, licence, or permit to which the Corporation or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party, the security interest will not attach to such agreement, right, licence, or permit. However, such Corporation or Subsidiary Guarantor shall hold such contractual rights in trust for the Lender and shall assign that agreement, right, licence, or permit to the Lender immediately upon obtaining the consent of the other party.

 

  (b)

The security interest granted will be provided on the basis that it will nonetheless immediately attach to any related rights if, to the extent that, and as at the time that attachment to the related rights is not illegal, is not unenforceable against the Lender or other third parties generally, and would not result in an ineligible transfer or a material loss or expense to the Corporation or any Subsidiary Guarantor. The Corporation and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain all required material approvals as soon as reasonably practicable, it is acknowledged that consent and approval as to Health Canada licences is required to be obtained in the event of a Default and notice of realization by the Lender and the Corporation will undertake and cooperate in steps at that time to obtain the required consents and hereby agrees at the time that the Lender is authorized to make application for the consent to assignment of the licences in its name or in the name of the licensee.

 

  (c)

To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Corporation and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall hold in trust for the Lender and, after a Default occurs, provide the Lender with the benefits of, each agreement, right, licence, or permit and enforce all related rights at the direction of and for the benefit of the Lender or at the direction of any other Person that the Lender may designate.

 

3.4

Intellectual Property

The Corporation and each Subsidiary Guarantor will grant a security interest in its intellectual property only as security. Before the security interest becomes enforceable, the Lender will not be or be deemed to be the owner of any of the intellectual property. Further, the Lender will not be deemed to have assumed, or be deemed to be liable for, any covenant, agreement, or other obligation of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Guarantor under any agreement, right, licence, or permit relating to the intellectual property to which the Corporation or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party

 

3.5

Charge Valid Irrespective of Advance of Money

The charges and security interests hereby created shall have effect and be deemed to be effective whether or not the monies or obligations hereby secured or any part thereof shall be

 

19


advanced or owing or in existence before or after or upon the date of this Debenture and neither the giving of this Debenture nor any advance of funds shall oblige the Lender to advance any funds or any additional funds.

 

3.6

Continuing Security

Any and all payments made at any time in respect of the Obligations and the proceeds realized from any Secured Property held therefor (including amounts realized from the enforcement of this Debenture) may be applied (and reapplied from time to time notwithstanding any previous application) to such part or parts of the Obligations as the Lender sees fit. The Lender may hold as additional security hereunder any increase or profits or other proceeds realized from the Secured Property (including money) for such period of time as the Lender sees fit. The Corporation and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be accountable for any deficiency.

 

3.7

Defeasance and Discharge

Provided that if the Corporation, its successors or assigns or any of them, make or cause to be made due payment or performance of all Obligations in full and the Lender has no remaining commitments in respect of the Loan, then, subject to this Debenture, this Debenture and the other Instruments, excluding any share purchase warrants granted by the Corporation to the Lender (or its nominee), shall be absolutely null and void and the Lender shall on request therefor by the Corporation, and at the expense of the Corporation, at that time surrender this Debenture to the Corporation and discharge all of the Instruments, but until that time the same shall remain in full force and effect despite the repayment or satisfaction from time to time of the whole or any part of the Obligations. For clarity, any share purchase warrants granted by the Corporation to the Lender (or its nominee) shall continue in full force in effect.

Schedule 5.1

BOARD OBSERVER

5.1 To the extent that the Lender is entitled to have a Board Observer present at the meetings of the Board or any committees of the Board (collectively, “Board Meetings”), the provisions of this policy will apply.

5.2 The Board Observer shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend (in person or by telephone, video conference or other means) each Board Meeting whether such Board Meeting is held in person, by telephone, video conference or any other means.

5.3 The Board Observer shall have the right to take part in discussions and deliberations of matters brought before the Board except those that directly relate to the rights and relationship of the Corporation with the Lender and/or its Affiliates. As to any such discussion the intent to discuss will be disclosed to the Board Observer and they will be directed to excuse themselves from the discussion.

5.4 The Board Observer shall not be entitled to vote on any matters brought before the Board or any committee of the Board.

5.5 The Corporation shall, in advance of each Board Meeting, send to the Board Observer all notices consents, minutes, documents and other information and materials that it sends to members of the Board for purposes of the applicable Board Meeting, in their capacities of such (collectively, the “Board Materials”), at substantially the same time and in substantially the same manner (or as close as may be reasonably practicable thereto) as the Corporation sends the Board Materials to members of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the failure to provide the Board Materials as described above in any way invalidate any action taken at a Board Meeting. No materials will be provided to the Board Observer that deal with the rights and relationship of the Corporation with the Lender and/or its Affiliates.

5.6 The Corporation shall deliver to the Board Observer copies of any written consent resolutions proposed to be adopted by the Board or any committee of the Board, at the same time as such written consent resolutions are circulated to members of the Board or any committee of the Board for signature, and shall advise the Board Observer as to the approval of such written consent resolutions.

5.7 The Board Observer shall not be entitled to any remuneration for acting in such capacity; provided, however that all reasonable expenses of the Board Observer shall be borne by the Corporation, to the same extent that such expenses are borne by the Corporation for members of the Board. For greater certainty, the Corporation shall have no obligation to pay directors fees or similar compensation or issue any options or other securities convertible into shares of the Corporation to the Board Observer in the Board Observer’s capacity as such.


5.8 The Board Observer must acknowledge that as a result of attending Board Meetings and receiving the Board Materials, the Board Observer will have access to confidential information of the Corporation, the disclosure of which could be detrimental to the interests of the Corporation. The Board Observer must: (i) hold all Board Materials and all other information in respect of the Corporation provided to him or her or learned by him or her in his/her capacity as Board Observer (including materials prepared by the Board Observer utilizing Board Materials or such other information) in strict confidence; (ii) not disclose, directly or indirectly, any such information to any person, except as permitted by this Debenture; (iii) comply with all applicable securities laws that may prohibit a Person who has material, non-public information in respect of the Corporation or any other information provided to him or her or learned by him or her in his/her capacity as Board Observer from trading in securities of the Corporation or any other entity to which such information relates; and (iv) comply with all trading restrictions or black-out periods imposed by the Board. The Board Observer shall be entitled to disclose all such information (or any portion thereof) to the Lender and each participant, their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, lawyers, consultants, financial and other advisors (collectively, the

“Representatives”) provided that each shall be required to treat the information as confidential in a manner consistent with this Debenture and the Lender will be liable for any loss or damage resulting from a failure to do so. This confidentiality provision will survive the termination of this Debenture.

5.9 The confidentiality obligations hereof shall not apply to information that: (i) was in the public domain at the time of its communication or disclosure or thereafter becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the Manager, its Affiliates or their Representatives, as applicable; (ii) was in the possession of the Lender, its participants and their Affiliates or their Representatives, as applicable, at the time of its communication or disclosure and was not acquired from the Corporation; (iii) was received from a third party without an obligation of confidentiality, provided there is no reason to believe such third party was under an obligation of confidentiality with respect to the information; or (iv) is required by law or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be disclosed.
