The Holder may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and the Holder will be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Holder at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale will hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of each GameSquare Party, and each GameSquare Party hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each GameSquare Party agrees that, to the extent notice of Disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to such GameSquare Party of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private Disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Holder shall not be obligated to make any Disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Holder may adjourn any public or private Disposition from time to time by announcement prior to or at the time and place fixed therefor, and such Disposition may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each GameSquare Party hereby waives any claims against the Holder arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private Disposition was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public Disposition or was less than the aggregate amount of the obligations owing under this Note, even if Holder accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that such GameSquare Party may have to require that all or any part of the Collateral be marshaled upon any Disposition (public or private) thereof. The Holder shall not be required to marshal any collateral security for, or other assurances of payment of, the outstanding Secured Obligations, and all of Holder’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

 

 11 

 

 

(ii) Pledged Interests. Each GameSquare Party recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Holder may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each GameSquare Party acknowledges that any such private placement may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a sale without such restrictions (including an offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, such GameSquare Party agrees that any such private placement will not be deemed, in and of itself, to be commercially unreasonable and that the Holder will have no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of the Collateral to register it for a form of sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.

 

(iii) Cash; Deficiency. Any cash held by the Holder (or his agent or designee) as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Holder in respect of any Disposition of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied by the Holder against the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Note. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Holder and remaining after the date on which all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full shall be paid over to the GameSquare Parties. In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Holder is legally entitled, the GameSquare Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency.

 

(iv) Waivers. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each GameSquare Party absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Holder, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each GameSquare Party hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind or all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

 

(v) Continuing Security Interest. This Security Agreement will create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and will (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, (ii) be binding upon each GameSquare Party and its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of the Holder and his successors, transferees, and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), but subject to the provisions of this Note, each assignee of this Note will become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Holder herein.

 

 12 

 

 

(vi) Disposition of Collateral. Without the prior written consent of the Holder, no GameSquare Party shall, directly or indirectly, (i) grant, pledge, assign or otherwise provide a Lien on any of the Collateral (other than the Lien in favor of the Holder hereunder), (ii) provide any Person (other than the Holder), or allow any Person (other than the Holder) to obtain, “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) of any of the Collateral or (iii) convey, transfer, lease or otherwise Dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) any of the Collateral.

 

(vii) Termination of Security Interest. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Note, (i) all liens in the Collateral granted by the GameSquare Parties in favor of the Holder under, or pursuant to, this Note shall automatically be terminated and released without any further action by any person or entity and all rights therein shall revert to the GameSquare Parties and (ii) the Holder will, at the GameSquare Parties’ sole cost and expense, release its liens in the Collateral and execute and deliver to the GameSquare Parties such documents reasonably requested by the GameSquare Parties to evidence such release.

 

7. Representations and Warranties. The GameSquare Parties hereby represent and warrant to the Holder that: (a) GameSquare is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and GameSquare SPV is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware; (b) the GameSquare Parties have all requisite power, authority and capacity to enter into and perform its obligations (including pledging the Collateral) under this Note and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein; (c) this Note has been duly executed and delivered by the GameSquare Parties pursuant to all necessary authorization and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the GameSquare Parties, enforceable against the GameSquare Parties in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws and principles of equity affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally; (d) no further action on the part of the GameSquare Parties is or will be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Note; (e) no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the borrowing of the funds pursuant to this Note and the pledge by the GameSquare Parties of the Collateral pursuant to this Note or for the execution and delivery of this Note by the GameSquare Parties or the performance by the GameSquare Parties of their obligations thereunder; (f) the execution and delivery of this Note by the GameSquare Parties and the performance by the GameSquare Parties of their obligations hereunder will not violate any provision of any applicable law or regulation or any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, applicable to the GameSquare Parties or any of its property or assets, the organizational or governing documents of the GameSquare Parties or any agreement or instrument to which the GameSquare Parties are party or by which they or their property or assets are bound; (g) the principal place of business of the GameSquare Parties is the address set forth below the GameSquare Parties’ signature on the signature pages hereto; (h) the GameSquare Parties own or have good and marketable title to the Collateral and no other person or entity has or can make any claim of ownership of any kind in the Collateral; (i) the GameSquare Parties have the full power, authority and legal right to grant the security interest in the Collateral hereunder; (j) the Collateral is free from any and all claims, encumbrances, rights of set-off or any other security interest or lien of any kind, except for the security interest in favor of the Holder created hereunder; and (k) this Note creates in favor of the Holder a valid security interest in the Collateral, securing payment of the Secured Obligations, and such security interest is first priority.

 

8. Reissuance of this Note.

 

(a) Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to GameSquare, whereupon the GameSquare Parties will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note, registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereof).

 

 13 

 

 

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by GameSquare of evidence reasonably satisfactory to GameSquare of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to GameSquare in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the GameSquare Parties shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal.

 

(c) Issuance of New Notes.

9. Joint and Several Liability. The entire Principal amount of this Note shall be deemed to be jointly funded to and received by each of the GameSquare Parties. Each of the GameSquare Parties shall be jointly and severally liable under this Note for all Secured Obligations, regardless of the manner or amount in which proceeds hereof are used, allocated, shared or disbursed by or among the GameSquare Parties, or the manner in which the Holder accounts for its extension of credit hereunder on its books and records. The Secured Obligations of each of the GameSquare Parties under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Secured Obligations of any GameSquare Party or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Secured Obligations of any GameSquare Parties, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Secured Obligations from any GameSquare Party, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by the Holder with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations of any GameSquare Party, or any part thereof, or any other agreement executed as of the Issuance Date or thereafter executed by any GameSquare Party and delivered to the Holder, (iv) the failure by the Holder to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, the Collateral of any GameSquare Party, (v) the Holder’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any GameSquare Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of the Holder’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Secured Obligations of any GameSquare Party under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (viii) any other bankruptcy, insolvency, restructuring or reorganization proceedings under all applicable debtor relief laws or (ix) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any GameSquare Party (in each case, other than the defense of repayment in full of the Secured Obligations). With respect to any Secured Obligations of any GameSquare Party arising as a result of their joint and several liability hereunder with respect to any extensions of credit made to one or the other hereunder, each of the GameSquare Parties waives, until the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the Holder had as of the Issuance Date or may have thereafter against one or the other, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Holder to secure payment of the Secured Obligations or any other liability of the other GameSquare Party to the Holder. Upon any Event of Default, the Holder may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any of the GameSquare Parties to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Secured Obligations, without first proceeding against one or the other or any other Person, or against any security or Collateral for the Secured Obligations. Each of the GameSquare Parties consents and agrees that the Holder shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any GameSquare Party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations.

 

 14 

 

 

10. Covenants. The GameSquare Parties will defend the Collateral against all claims and demands made by any persons or entities claiming either the Collateral or any interest in it.

 

11. Secured Party Rights. Any and all rights of the Holder provided by this Note are in addition to any and all rights available to the Holder by law and shall be cumulative and may be exercised simultaneously. No delay, omission or failure on the part of the Holder to exercise or enforce any of its rights or remedies, either granted under this Note or by law, shall constitute an estoppel or waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. If the GameSquare Parties fail to perform any obligation contained in this Note, the Holder may (but is not required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, and the expenses of the Holder incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the GameSquare Parties. The GameSquare Parties hereby appoint the Holder the GameSquare Parties’ attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the GameSquare Parties and in the name of the GameSquare Parties or otherwise, from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default in the Holder’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Holder may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Note (but the Holder shall not be obligated to, and shall have no liability to the GameSquare Parties or any third party for failure to, do so or take action). The foregoing appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable prior to the cancellation of this Note pursuant to Section 14. The GameSquare Parties hereby ratify all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

 

12. Successors and Assigns. This Note shall bind the GameSquare Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and the benefits of this Note shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns. This Note, and the rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned or delegated (in whole or in part) by the GameSquare Parties without the prior written consent of the Holder. All references herein to the “GameSquare Parties” and the “Holder” shall be deemed to apply to the GameSquare Parties and the Holder, respectively, and to their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

13. Interest Rate Limitation. Nothing contained in this Note or any transaction related to this Note shall be construed or so operate as to require the GameSquare Parties to pay interest at a greater rate than is now lawful or in such case to contract for, or to make any payment, or to do any act contrary to applicable law. Should any interest or other charges paid by the GameSquare Parties, or parties liable for the payment of this Note, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or any other document delivered in connection with this Note, result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the maximum legal rate of interest that is legally permitted under applicable law, then any and all such excess shall be, and the same hereby is, waived by the Holder, and any and all such excess shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the balance due under this Note, and the portion of said excess that exceeds the balance due under this Note shall be paid by the Holder to the GameSquare Parties.

 

14. Cancellation. After all principal and all other amounts at any time owed on this Note have been indefeasibly paid in full, this Note shall be promptly surrendered to the GameSquare Parties for cancellation and shall result in the cancellation of this Note pursuant to this Section 14.
