Without prejudice to the ability of the Lender to dispose of the Secured Property in any manner which is commercially reasonable, the Corporation and each Guarantor acknowledges that a disposition of Secured Property by the Lender which takes place substantially in accordance with the following provisions shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable:
ARTICLE 7 GENERAL
No act or omission by the Lender in any manner whatever shall extend to or be taken to affect any provision hereof or any subsequent breach or default or the rights resulting therefrom save only express waiver in writing. A waiver of default shall not extend to, or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect the rights of the Lender with respect to, any subsequent default, whether similar or not.
The rights of the Lender hereunder shall not be prejudiced nor shall the liabilities of the Corporation, Guarantors or of any other Person be reduced in any way by the taking of any other security of any nature or kind whatsoever either at the time of execution of this Debenture or at any time hereafter.
Neither the taking of any judgment nor the exercise of any power of seizure or sale shall operate to extinguish the liability of the Corporation to pay the moneys hereby secured nor shall the same operate as a merger of any covenant herein contained or of any other Obligation, nor shall the acceptance of any payment or other security constitute or create any novation.
LEGAL*52823942.10
The Corporation and each Guarantor, for valuable consideration for and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, irrevocably appoints the Lender and its officers from time to time or any of them to be the attorneys of the Corporation and each Guarantor in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation and each Guarantor to execute such deeds, transfers, conveyances, assignments, assurances and things and generally to use the name of the Corporation and each Guarantor as may be necessary or incidental to the exercise of all or any of the powers hereby conferred on the Lender.
The Corporation hereby grants to the Lender and its employees and agents an irrevocable and non‒exclusive licence, subject to the rights of tenants, to enter any of the Premises to conduct audits, testing and monitoring with respect to Hazardous Substances and to remove and analyze any Hazardous Substance at the cost and expense of the Corporation (which cost and expense shall be secured hereby).
The Corporation shall indemnify the Lender and hold the Lender harmless against and from all losses, costs, damages and expenses which the Lender may sustain, incur or be or become liable at any time whatsoever for by reason of or arising from the past, present or future existence, clean‒up, removal or disposal of any Hazardous Substance referred to in this Debenture or compliance with Environmental Laws or Environmental Orders relating thereto, including any clean‒up, decommissioning, restoration or remediation of the Premises and other affected lands or property (and this indemnification shall survive the satisfaction, release or extinguishment of the indebtedness secured hereby).
If the Corporation or any Guarantor fails to do anything hereby required to be done by it the Lender may, but shall not be obliged to, do such thing and all reasonable sums thereby expended by 1 he Lender shall be payable forthwith by the Corporation or any Guarantor, shall be secured hereby and shall have the benefit of the Encumbrances hereby created, but no such performance by the Lender shall be deemed to relieve the Corporation or any Guarantor from any default hereunder.
Any notice, direction, request, delivery or other communication to be given under this Debenture shall be in writing and given by delivering it or sending it by facsimile or other similar form of recorded communication (with confirmation of transmission), along with delivery by one of either personal delivery, nationally recognized courier or certified/registered mail, addressed:

LEGAL*52720627.3

ARTICLE 2 GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY
The Guarantors irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Party, as a continuing obligation, the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, declaration, demand, or otherwise.
The Guarantors’ liability under this guarantee is unlimited.
This is a continuing guarantee for payment when due under a current, running, or revolving account, credit facility, or similar account or facility, and not of collection. This guarantee is irrevocable by the Guarantors, and the Guarantors expressly and unconditionally waives any right to terminate this guarantee.
If the Secured Party cannot recover the Obligations under section 2.01 (Guarantee) for any reason, then, in addition to the guarantee provided by the Guarantors in section 2.01 (Guarantee) and as a separate and distinct obligation, the Guarantors shall indemnify the Secured Party against all direct and indirect claims, losses, payments, and expenses that the Secured Party may suffer or incur in connection with the Debtor’s failure to satisfy the Obligations.
If the Secured Party cannot recover the Obligations under section 2.01 (Guarantee) or if the Secured Party is not fully indemnified under section 2.04(Indemnity), in either case for any reason, then the Secured Party may recover those Obligations from any Guarantor as primary obligor as a separate and distinct obligation. In that case, the Secured Party may
(a) | treat all Obligations as due and payable, |
(c) | apply any amounts so collected to the Obligations or place those amounts to the credit of a special account. |
The Guarantors shall make payment under this guarantee immediately upon Demand by the Secured Party. The Guarantors’ liability will bear interest from the date that the Secured Party makes that Demand to the date of payment at the rate set out in section 2.08 (Interest).
In the absence of manifest error, the Guarantors shall accept and will be bound by any account settled or stated in writing by or between the Secured Party and the Debtor as prima facie evidence of the amount or balance that the Debtor must pay the Secured Party.
LEGAL*52720627.3
- 5 -
Each Guarantor's liability, whether as a guarantor, indemnitor, or primary obligor, bears interest from the date that the Secured Party makes Demand, both before and after Demand, default, or judgment and until actual payment in full, at an annual rate of interest fluctuating with and at all times equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest applicable to amounts owing under this guarantee will be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. Whenever interest is to be calculated on the basis of any period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined by that calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in that calendar year and divided by that period of time.
(c) | If any taxing authority directly assesses any Taxes against the Secured Party in connection with any payment that the Secured Party receives under this guarantee, then the Secured Party may pay those Taxes, in which case the Guarantors shall promptly pay those additional Taxes (including any penalties, interest, expenses, or any Taxes on that additional amount) as is necessary so that, after the payment of those Taxes, the net amount that the Secured Party receives is equal to the amount that the Secured Party would have received had that taxing authority not asserted those Taxes. |
LEGAL*52720627.3
- 6 -
(c) | If the amount of the Agreed Currency that the Secured Party is able to purchase with the amount of the other currency that it received is less than the amount due to it in connection with that Obligation, the Guarantors remain liable to the Secured Party for any deficiency, together with interest in accordance with section 2.08(Interest). |
The Secured Party will only release and discharge this guarantee by executing and delivering to the Guarantors an express written discharge at the Guarantors’ sole expense. This guarantee will not be satisfied or discharged, in whole or in part, by any intermediate payment of all or any part of the Obligations.
This guarantee will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any time, the Secured Party rescinds or otherwise returns, for any reason (including in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Debtor or the Guarantors or any allegation that the Secured Party received a payment in the nature of a preference), all or any part of any payment of any of the Obligations, all as though that payment had not been made.
The Secured Party may accelerate the maturity date of the Obligations as provided in the Debenture for the purposes of this guarantee, notwithstanding any stay existing under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar Law of any jurisdiction preventing that acceleration.
The Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, set-off and apply any counterclaim (including liabilities in respect of any monies that the Guarantors deposited with it, being general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) that the Secured Party holds and other obligations (in whatever currency) that the Secured Party owes to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantors against any and all of any Guarantor's liabilities now or later existing under this guarantee irrespective of whether or not the Secured Party has made any Demand under this guarantee and although those Guarantors’ liabilities may be unliquidated, contingent, or unmatured. The Secured Party’s rights under this section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off, consolidation of accounts, and bankers’ lien) that the Secured Party may have.

ARTICLE 3
ABSOLUTE LIABILITY; DEALINGS WITH THE DEBTOR AND OTHERS
The Guarantors’ liability under this guarantee is absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and is not limited, released, discharged, or otherwise affected by
(c) | any limitation, postponement, subordination, prohibition, or other restriction on the Secured Party’s rights and remedies in connection with the Obligations (including any court order that purports to prohibit or suspend the acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations, the Debtor’s payment of any of the Obligations, or the Secured Party’s rights and remedies against the Debtor in connection with the Obligations), |
(d) | any insolvency, bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, amalgamation, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting the Debtor, any Guarantor, the Secured Party, or any other Person, |
(l) | any other applicable Law or other circumstance that might otherwise constitute, in whole or in part, a legal or equitable defence available to, or complete or |
LEGAL*52720627.3
- 8 -
partial legal or equitable discharge of, any Guarantor, the Debtor, or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Obligations or any Guarantor’s liability under this guarantee.
Each Guarantor waives each of the defences noted above to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence and without limiting, releasing, discharging, or otherwise affecting, in whole or in part, each Guarantor’s liability under this guarantee, the Secured Party may, from time to time and without giving Notice to or obtaining the consent of any Guarantor,
(b) | make any change to the time, manner, or place of payment under, or to any other term of, the Transaction Documents (including supplementing or replacing any of those agreements), |
(c) | waive the Debtor’s failure to carry out any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, |
(d) | release any Guarantor of the Obligations hereunder, |
(e) | grant renewals, extensions of time, indulgences, releases, and discharges to the Debtor or any other Person, |
(iii) otherwise deal with that security or collateral in any manner it sees fit (including enforcing that security, whether in an improvident or commercially unreasonably manner as a result of the Secured Party’s negligence, recklessness, or wilful action or inaction, or otherwise, and regardless of any duty that the Secured Party might have to the Debtor under applicable Law in connection with the enforcement of that security),
LEGAL*52720627.3
- 9 -
other disposition of any property securing the Obligations or any guarantee thereof, or any defect in any notice of sale or other disposition,
Each Guarantor waives each of the above defences to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law.
If any limitation period applies to any claim for payment of the Obligations or remedy for enforcement of the Obligations, then
(c) | any applicable limitation period begins only after the Secured Party expressly Demands that the Guarantors pay the Obligations, |

This General Security Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. To the extent interpretation requires consideration of the grant of security and the perfection and enforcement thereof this General Security Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado and the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted therein.
ARTICLE 2 GRANT OF SECURITY
As general and continuing security for the due payment, observance, and performance by any Debtors of all Obligations, each Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party a Security Interest in the Collateral.
The parties acknowledge that (a) each Debtor has rights in their respective Collateral, (b) the Secured Party has given value to any Debtors, (c) the parties have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of the Security Interest, and (d) the Security Interest is intended to attach
(i) as to Collateral in which a Debtor now has rights, when such Debtor executes this agreement and (ii) as to Collateral in which a Debtor subsequently acquires rights, when such Debtor first obtains those rights.
The Secured Party may, at its discretion and at any time, release from the Security Interest any of the Collateral or any other security or surety for the Obligations either with or without sufficient consideration for that Collateral without releasing any other part of the Collateral or any Person from this agreement.
The Secured Party may, if a Default exists, notify and direct any Account Debtor of any Debtor to make payment directly to the Secured Party. The Secured Party may, at its discretion, apply the amounts received from any Account Debtor of any Debtor and any proceeds in accordance with section 7.24 (Application of payments) or hold them as part of the Collateral.
LEGAL*53308082.1
consent. Such Debtor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain that consent as soon as reasonably practicable.
(c) | To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Debtor shall hold in trust for the Secured Party and, after a Default occurs, provide the Secured Party 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 Secured Party or at the direction of any other Person that the Secured Party may designate. |
Each Debtor grants the Security Interest in the Intellectual Property only as security. Before the Security Interest becomes enforceable under this agreement, the Secured Party will not be or be deemed to be the owner of any of the Intellectual Property. Further, the Secured Party will not be deemed to have assumed, or be deemed to be liable for, any covenant, agreement, or other obligation of any Debtor under any agreement, right, Licence, or permit relating to the Intellectual Property to which any Debtor is a party.
If the Collateral subsequently becomes part of a product or mass to which the security interest of another secured party attaches, the Security Interest will extend to all accounts, Replacements, or proceeds arising from any dealing with such product or mass.
Once any Debtor (or any Debtors) satisfies the Obligations in full, the Secured Party shall, within a reasonable time after it receives a written request from any Debtor, release the Security Interest and execute and deliver any releases and discharges that any Debtor may reasonably require. The Debtors shall pay all expenses incurred by the Secured Party in doing so.
ARTICLE 3 DEBTOR’S COVENANTS
The Debtors shall keep the Collateral in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
LEGAL*53308082.1
The Debtors shall keep the Collateral free of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. The Debtors shall defend the title of the Collateral against any Person. The Secured Party may, at any time, contest the validity, effect, perfection, or priority of any Lien. No Lien may rank in priority to or pari passu with the Security Interest, except for Permitted Liens. Nothing in this agreement is intended to create any rights (including subordination rights or any release of Security Interest) in favour of any Person other than the Secured Party, any Receiver, and the other Indemnified Parties.
From and after the first date on which the Secured Party exercises any remedies under Article 7 (Rights and Remedies), each Debtor shall hold any accounts, dividends, distributions, interest, proceeds, and other income that it collects in respect of the Collateral as agent and in trust for the Secured Party separate and apart from all its other property. Such Debtor shall pay any such amounts to the Secured Party immediately upon receipt.
The Debtors shall prevent the Collateral from becoming (a) an accession to any personal property not subject to this agreement or (b) affixed to any real property unless the Security Interest ranks prior to the interests of another Person in the realty.
(a) | The Debtors shall give Notice to the Secured Party |
(ii) | at least 10 Business Days prior to (A) any change of name of any Debtor and (B) any change in or addition to the location of Collateral from those locations referred to in section 5.03 (Location of Collateral), and |
Each Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party any information concerning the Collateral or any Debtor that the Secured Party may reasonably request.
LEGAL*53308082.1
Each Debtor shall keep proper Documents and shall keep the Documents at the locations specified in Schedule A (Location of Debtor and Collateral).
Each Debtor shall allow the Secured Party or its representatives, on reasonable notice, (a) to have access at commercially reasonable times to all premises of such Debtor at which Collateral or Documents may be located, (b) to inspect the Collateral and all Documents, (c) to have temporary custody of, make copies of, and take extracts from any Documents, and (d) to verify the existence and state of the Collateral in any reasonable manner that the Secured Party may consider appropriate. The Secured Party shall keep confidential any information that the Secured Party obtains from that inspection, except as required by the Secured Party in exercising its rights under this agreement.
Each Debtor shall perform all covenants required under any Third Party Agreement (including promptly paying all required fees, royalties, and taxes) to maintain every item of Intellectual Property in full force and effect, except where noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Debtor shall vigorously protect, preserve, and maintain all of the value of, and all of the right, title, and interest of any Debtor in, the Intellectual Property owned by such Debtor (including the prosecution and defence against any suits concerning the validity, infringement, enforceability, ownership, or other aspects affecting any of the Intellectual Property), except where noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
At the request of the Secured Party, each Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party all items of Collateral that are chattel paper, instruments, or negotiable documents of title, endorsed to the Secured Party or in blank by an effective endorsement, as the Secured Party may reasonably request.
Each Debtor herby authorizes and if so required by the Secured Party shall make all necessary filings, registrations, and other recordations to protect the interest of the Secured Party in the Collateral (including all recordations in connection with patents, trade-marks, and copyrights forming part of the Intellectual Property), except where noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Debtor shall cause its representatives to immediately register, file, and record this agreement, or notice of this agreement, on behalf of the Secured Party at all proper offices where, in the opinion of counsel to the Secured Party, registration, filing, or recordation may be necessary or advantageous to create, perfect, preserve, or protect the Security Interest in the Collateral and its priority. Each Debtor shall subsequently cause its representatives to maintain all those registrations, filings, and recordations on behalf of the Secured Party in full force and effect (including by making timely payment of any renewal or maintenance fees).
LEGAL*53308082.1
connection with all claims, losses, and expenses that an Indemnified Party may suffer or incur in connection with
except that any Debtor will not be obliged to indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent those claims, losses, and expenses are determined by a final judgment to have directly resulted from the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Party.
The Secured Party or any assignee of the Secured Party may set off or apply against, or combine with, the Obligations any indebtedness owing by the Secured Party or any assignee of the Secured Party to any Debtor, direct or indirect, extended or renewed, actual or contingent, mutual or not, at any time before, upon, or after maturity, without demand upon or notice to anyone, and the terms of that indebtedness and Obligations will be changed to the extent necessary to permit and give effect to the set-off, application, and combination.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Debtor shall waive all of the rights, benefits, conditions, warranties, and protections given by the provisions of any existing or future statute that imposes limitations upon the rights of a secured party or upon the methods of realization of Security Interest.
ARTICLE 4 DEBTOR’S RIGHTS
Except as permitted by the Debenture, no Debtor shall sell, exchange, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of, grant a lien on, or deal in any way with the Collateral, or enter into any agreement or undertaking to do so.

(B) cause the securities intermediary to agree with the Secured Party that the securities intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders in relation to each security entitlement that are originated by the Secured Party without the further consent of any Debtor or any other entitlement holder, or (C) cause another Person that has control on behalf of the Secured Party, or having previously obtained control, to acknowledge that the Person has control on behalf of the Secured Party of any security entitlement in the manner contemplated by paragraphs (A) or (B) above; any security (including any security entitlement) held or controlled by the Secured Party under this paragraph will be held as Collateral under this agreement.

This agreement does not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties and their respective heirs, trustees, executors, administrators, and other legally appointed representatives, successors and assigns.
Each Debtor shall pay all costs and expenses (including legal fees) that it and the Secured Party or its agents on its behalf, incur in connection with the drafting and negotiation of the transactions contemplated by this agreement, and the execution and delivery of, and the perfection (including those incurred for registration costs of any financing statement registered in connection with the Security Interest) and enforcement of the Secured Party’s interest under, this agreement, which will be paid immediately upon demand and form part of the Obligations.
ARTICLE 7 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
Upon the occurrence of a Default, or if the Security Interest otherwise becomes enforceable, the Secured Party may exercise any of the following rights or remedies:
The rights, remedies, and powers provided to a party under this agreement are cumulative and in addition to, and are not exclusive of or in substitution for, any rights, remedies, and powers otherwise available to that party.
This agreement and the Security Interest are in addition to and not in substitution for any other security now or later held by the Secured Party in connection with any Debtor, the Obligations, or the Collateral. The Security Interest does not replace or otherwise affect any existing or future
LEGAL*53308082.1
Lien held by the Secured Party. No taking of any suit, action, or proceeding, judicial or extra- judicial, no refraining from doing so, and no dealing with any other security for any Obligations will release or affect (a) the Security Interest or (b) any of the other Liens held by the Secured Party for the payment or performance of the Obligations.
The covenants and agreements in Section 3.12 (General indemnity) survive the termination of this agreement.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular term of this agreement will not affect or limit the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms.
The Obligations will be accelerated and become immediately due and payable in full and the Security Interest will become immediately enforceable without the Secured Party having to take any further action.
LEGAL*53308082.1
Any floating charge will become a fixed charge and the Secured Party may register this agreement against any Debtors’ lands but does not extent to securities excluded from the Collateral.
The Secured Party may enter any premises owned, leased, or otherwise occupied by any Debtor or where any Collateral may be located to take possession of, dispose of, disable, or remove any Collateral by any method permitted by applicable Law. Each Debtor shall grant to the Secured Party a licence to occupy any of any Debtor’s premises for the purpose of storing any Collateral and shall, immediately upon demand, deliver to the Secured Party possession of any Collateral at the place specified by the Secured Party.
The Secured Party may carry on, or concur in the carrying on of, all or any part of the businesses or undertaking of any Debtor and may, to the exclusion of all others (including any Debtor), enter upon, occupy, and use any of the premises, buildings, and plant of, occupied or used by any Debtor and may use all or any of those premises and the equipment and other Collateral located on those premises (including fixtures) for whatever time and purposes as the Secured Party sees fit, free of charge. The Secured Party will not be liable to any Debtor for any
LEGAL*53308082.1
act, omission, or negligence in doing so or in connection with any rent, charges, costs, depreciation, or damages in connection with that action.
The Secured Party may pay any liability owed to any actual or threatened Lien holder against any Collateral, and borrow money to maintain, preserve, or protect any Collateral or to carry on the businesses or undertaking of any Debtor, and may charge and grant further security interests in any Collateral in priority to the Security Interest as security for the money so borrowed. Immediately upon demand by the Secured Party, each Debtor shall reimburse the Secured Party for all those payments and borrowings.
(i) | enter into agreements and grant licences over or relating to Collateral, |
(c) | The Secured Party may take any actions to maintain, preserve, and protect the Collateral or otherwise deal with any Collateral in the manner, upon the terms, and at the times it deems advisable in its discretion without notice to any Debtor, except as otherwise required by applicable Law (including payments on account of other security interests affecting the Collateral); provided that the Secured Party will not be required to take any of those actions or make any of those expenditures. Any of the amounts that the Secured Party pays (including legal, Receiver’s, accounting, or other professional fees and expenses) will be added to the Obligations and will be secured by this agreement. |
(d) | The Secured Party may accept the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations. |
The Secured Party may upon any sale by the Secured Party of any leasehold interest under this agreement for the purpose of vesting the one day residue of the term or its renewal in any purchase, by deed or writing appoint the purchaser or any other Person as a new trustee of the
LEGAL*53308082.1
residue or renewal in place of any Debtor and may vest those rights in the new trustee so appointed free from any obligation in that Collateral.
The Secured Party may collect, sell, or otherwise deal with accounts (including notifying any Person obligated to any Debtor in connection with an account, chattel paper, or an instrument to make payment to the Secured Party of all present and future amounts that are due).
The Secured Party may collect any rents, income, and profits received in connection with the business of any Debtor or the Collateral, without carrying on the business.
(a) | The terms of this section related solely to the securities included in the Collateral. |
(c) | The Secured Party may comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with any proposed sale or other disposition of the securities necessary to comply with applicable Law (including any policy imposed by any stock exchange, securities commission, or other Governmental Body). That compliance by the Secured Party will not result in the sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor will the Secured Party be liable or accountable to any Debtor for any discount in the sale price of the securities that may be given because those securities are sold in compliance with any limitation or restriction. |
The Secured Party may register assignments of the Intellectual Property, and use, sell, assign, license, or sub-license any of the Intellectual Property.
The Secured Party may file proofs of claim and other documents in order to have the claims of the Secured Party lodged in any bankruptcy, winding-up, or other judicial proceeding relating to any Debtor or the Collateral.
LEGAL*53308082.1
Each Debtor shall appoint the Secured Party, acting by any officer, director, employee, agent, or representative for the time being of the Secured Party located at its address for notices in section 8.08 (Notice), to be its attorney with full power of substitution to do on such Debtor’s behalf anything that such Debtor can lawfully do by an attorney (including to do, make, and execute all agreements, deeds, acts, matters, or things, with the right to use the name of such Debtor) that it deems necessary or expedient and to carry out its obligations under this agreement, to revise and schedule to this agreement and to complete any missing information in this agreement. This power of attorney, being granted by way of security and coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Obligations are paid in full.
The Secured Party may retain the services of any lawyers, accountants, appraisers, and other agents, and consultants as the Secured Party deems necessary or desirable in connection with anything done or to be done by the Secured Party or with any of the rights of the Secured Party set out in this agreement and pay their commissions, fees, disbursements (which payments will constitute part of the Secured Party’s disbursements reimbursable by the Debtors under this agreement). Each Debtor shall immediately on demand reimburse the Secured Party for all those payments.
(a) | The Secured Party may |
(ii) | appoint an officer or employee of the Secured Party as Receiver, |
(iii) | remove any Receiver and appoint another Receiver, or |
Any Receiver will have the rights set out in this Article 7 (Rights and Remedies). In exercising those rights, a Receiver will act as, and for all purposes will be deemed to be, the agent of any Debtor. However, the Secured Party will not be responsible for any act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or default of any Receiver.
The Secured Party, or any Receiver appointed by the Secured Party in the enforcement of the Security Interest, may hold all payments made in connection with the Obligations and all monies
LEGAL*53308082.1
received as security for the Obligations (including each Recovery), or may apply those payments or monies in whatever manner they determine at their discretion. The Secured Party may at any time apply or change any application of those payments, monies, or Recoveries to any parts of the Obligations as the Secured Party may determine at its discretion. Each Debtor will remain liable to the Secured Party for any deficiency. The Secured Party shall pay any surplus funds realized after the satisfaction of all Obligations in accordance with applicable Law.
If the proceeds of the realization of any Collateral are insufficient to repay all Obligations, the Debtors shall immediately pay or cause to be paid the deficiency to the Secured Party.
Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will be liable for any negligence in accordance with any rent, charges, costs, depreciation, or damages in connection with any of its actions. Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will be liable or accountable to any Debtor for any failure to seize, collect, realize, dispose of, enforce, or otherwise deal with any Collateral, nor will any of them be bound to bring any action or proceeding for any of those purposes or to preserve any rights of any Person in any of the Collateral. Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will be liable or responsible for any claim, loss, and expense flowing from any failure resulting from any act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or default of the Secured Party, any Receiver, or any of their respective representatives or otherwise. If any Receiver or the Secured Party takes possession of any Collateral, neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will have any liability as a mortgagee in possession of the Collateral or be accountable for anything except actual receipts. Further, the Secured Party will not be deemed to have assumed, or be deemed to be liable for, any covenant, agreement, or other obligation of any Debtor under any agreement, right, Licence, or permit to which any Debtor is a party.
The Secured Party and any Receiver may grant renewals, extensions of time, and other indulgences, take and give up Liens, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges, perfect or fail to perfect any Liens, release any Collateral to third parties, and otherwise deal or fail to deal with the Collateral, other Liens, any Debtor, debtors of any Debtor, guarantors of any Debtor, sureties of any Debtor, and others as the Secured Party or such Receiver may see fit, all without prejudice to the Obligations and the rights of the Secured Party or any Receiver to hold and realize upon the Security Interest. However, no extension of time, forbearance, indulgence, or other accommodation will operate as a waiver, alteration, or amendment of the Secured Party’s rights or otherwise preclude the Secured Party from enforcing those rights and nothing in this agreement obligates the Secured Party to extend the time for payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations.
If any Debtor fails to perform any Obligations, the Secured Party or any Receiver may perform those Obligations as attorney for any Debtor in accordance with section 7.20 (Power of attorney). The rights conferred on the Secured Party and any Receiver under this agreement are for the purpose of protecting the Security Interest in the Collateral and do not impose any obligation upon the Secured Party or any Receiver to exercise any of those rights. Each Debtor will remain liable under each agreement to which it is party or by which it or any of its businesses, undertaking, and properties is bound and shall perform all of its obligations under
LEGAL*53308082.1
each of those agreements; any Debtor will not be released from any of its obligations under any agreement by the exercise of any rights by the Secured Party or any Receiver.
No Person dealing with the Secured Party, any Receiver, or any representative of the Secured Party or any Receiver has any obligation to enquire whether the Security has become enforceable, whether any right of the Secured Party or any Receiver has become exercisable, whether any Obligations remain outstanding, or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of any dealing by the Secured Party or any Receiver with any Collateral or to see to the application of any money paid to the Secured Party or any Receiver. In the absence of fraud on the part of any Person, those dealings will be deemed to be within the rights conferred under this agreement and to be valid and effective accordingly.
Nothing in this agreement obligates the Secured Party to make any loan or accommodation to any Debtor or to extend the time for payment or satisfaction of any Obligation.
ARTICLE 8 GENERAL
This agreement together with Debenture and the other Transaction Documents
Each party, upon receipt of Notice by another party, shall sign (or cause to be signed) all further documents, do (or cause to be done) all further acts, and provide all reasonable assurances as may reasonably be necessary or desirable to give effect to this agreement and the transactions contemplated by this agreement.
This agreement may only be amended by a written document signed by each of the parties.

This agreement enures to the benefit of and binds the parties and their respective heirs, trustees, executors, administrators, and other legally appointed representatives, successors and assigns.
LEGAL*53308082.1

(b) | the Security Interest will (i) continue to attach to the Collateral, (ii) attach to the Collateral of each other amalgamating entity, and (iii) attach to the Collateral of the amalgamated entity after the amalgamation, and |
(c) | all defined terms and other terms of this agreement will be deemed to have been amended to reflect the amalgamation, to the extent required by the context. |
The Secured Party may assign this agreement and the Obligations in whole or in part to any Person without Notice to or the consent of any Debtor. Without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, any Debtor may not assign this agreement.
To be effective, a Notice must be in writing and given in the manner contemplated in the Debenture, and the provisions of section 9.8 thereof are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.
The parties irrevocably attorn to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario which will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any matter arising out of this agreement, as to any exercise of rights of enforcement as to the security granted hereby the Secured Party may chose the jurisdiction of the writs of the State of Colorado and the parties also irrevocably attorn to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Colorado.
This agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which is an original, and all of which taken together constitute one single document.
Each Debtor acknowledges receipt of an executed copy of this agreement and copies of the verification statements relating to the financing statements or financing change statements filed by the Secured Party or its representatives under the PPSA and under the personal property security statutes of other provinces in connection with this agreement.
This agreement is effective as of the date shown at the top of the first page, even if any signatures are made after that date.

NON-TRANSFERABLE WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON SHARES OF ASSURE HOLDINGS CORP.
Warrant Certificate Number: WC-US-2021-001 |
Number of Warrants: 1,375,000 |
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT for value received Centurion Financial Trust (the "Warrantholder"), at Toronto, Ontario has the right to purchase in respect of each warrant ("Warrants") represented by this certificate or by a replacement certificate (in either case this "Warrant Certificate"), at any time up to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time), on the 14th day of June, 2025 (the "Expiry Time") one fully paid and non-assessable common share ("Common Shares" and which term shall include any shares or other securities to be issued in addition thereto or in substitution or replacement therefor as provided herein) of Assure Holdings Corp. (the "Corporation"), a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Nevada, as constituted on the date hereof at a purchase price (the purchase price in effect from time to time being called the "Exercise Price") of US$1.51 per Common Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
The Corporation agrees that the Common Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants shall be and be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant Certificate shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Common Shares as aforesaid.
Nothing contained herein shall confer any right upon the Warrantholder to subscribe for or purchase any Common Shares at any time after the Expiry Time and, from and after the Expiry Time, the Warrants and all rights under this Warrant Certificate shall be null and void and of no value.
The above provisions are subject to the following:
(1) | Cash Exercise: In the event that the Warrantholder desires to exercise the right to purchase Common Shares conferred hereby, the Warrantholder shall (a) complete to the extent possible in the manner indicated and execute a subscription form in the form attached as Schedule A to this Warrant Certificate, (b) surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Corporation in accordance with section 9 hereof, and (c) pay the amount payable on the exercise of such Warrants in respect of the Common Shares subscribed for by certified cheque, bank draft or money order in lawful money of the United States of America payable to the Corporation or by transmitting same day funds in lawful money of the United States of America by wire to such account as the Corporation shall direct the Warrantholder. Upon such surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Warrantholder shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of record of the number of Common Shares to be so issued and the Warrantholder shall be entitled to delivery of a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares and the Corporation shall cause such certificate or certificates to be delivered to the Warrantholder at the address specified in the subscription form within ten business days after such surrender and payment as aforesaid. No fractional Common Shares will be issuable upon any exercise of the Warrants and the Warrantholder will not be entitled to any cash payment or compensation in lieu of a fractional Common Share. |
(2) | US Persons: Notwithstanding any provision in sections 1, 2 or 3 hereof, the Warrants may not be exercised, in whole or in part, by a U.S. Person or person within the United |
#4119003
3
States (or on behalf of a U.S. Person or person within the United States) unless registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. As used herein, the terms "United States" and "U.S. Person" have the meaning assigned to them in Regulation S under the 1933 Act.
(1) | Definitions: For the purposes of this section 5, unless there is something in the subject matter or context inconsistent therewith, the words and terms defined below shall have the respective meanings specified therefor in this subsection 5(1): |
(a) | "Adjustment Period" means the period commencing on the date of issue of the Warrants and ending at the Expiry Time; |
#4119003
4
sale price of all Common Shares sold on the said exchange or market, as the case may be, during such twenty (20) consecutive trading days by the total number of Common Shares so sold; and provided further that if the Common Shares are not then listed on any Canadian stock exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market, then the Current Market Price shall be determined by a firm of independent chartered accountants selected by the directors of the Corporation;
(d) | "trading day" with respect to a stock exchange or over-the-counter market means a day on which such stock exchange or market is open for business. |
(i) | fix a record date for the issue of, or issue, Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend; |
(iii) | subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or |
(iv) | consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, |
(any of such events in subclauses 5(2)(a)(i), 5(2)(a)(ii), 5(2)(a)(iii) and 5(2)(a)(iv) above being herein called a "Common Share Reorganization"), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the earlier of the record date on which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Common Share Reorganization and the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction:
A. | the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization; and |
B. | the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares which will be outstanding immediately after giving effect |
#4119003
5
to such Common Share Reorganization (including in the case of a distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such date).
To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5(2)(a) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange or conversion right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right. Any Warrantholder who has not exercised his right to subscribe for and purchase Common Shares on or prior to the record date of such stock dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such right thereafter shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Common Shares then subscribed for and purchased by such Warrantholder, at the Exercise Price determined in accordance with this clause 5(2)(a) the aggregate number of Common Shares that such Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Common Share Reorganization, if, on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, such Warrantholder had been the holder of record of the number of Common Shares so subscribed for and purchased.
(i) | the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of |
A. | the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering, and |
B. | the quotient determined by dividing |
(1) | either (a) the product of the number of Common Shares offered during the Rights Period pursuant to the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares |
#4119003
6
are offered, or, (b) the product of the exchange or conversion price of the securities so offered and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged or converted, as the case may be, by
If by the terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this clause 5(2)(b), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered, shall be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5(2)(b) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this clause 5(2)(b), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.
(c) | If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of: |
(i) | shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares; |
#4119003
7
(iv) | any property or assets of the Corporation; |
and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a "Special Distribution"), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for the Special Distribution by a fraction:
(1) | the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date, and |
Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5(2)(c) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this clause 5(2)(c), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exercise, exchange or conversion right to the amount which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.
(d) | If at any time during the Adjustment Period there shall occur: |
#4119003
8
(any of such events being called a "Capital Reorganization"), after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of the Warrants, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled upon the exercise of the Warrants, the kind and aggregate number of shares and other securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of the Warrants. If necessary, as a result of any such Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder to the end that the provisions shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants.
(e) | If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of clause 5(2)(a), 5(2)(b) or 5(2)(c) of this Warrant Certificate, then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of the Warrants shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price. |
(a) | Subject to the following clauses of this subsection 5(3), any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 5(2) hereof shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur. |
(b) | No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one per cent in the then Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of the Warrants unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which except for the provision of this clause 5(3)(b) would otherwise have been required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of subsection 5(2) hereof, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (except in respect of the Common Share Reorganization described in subclause 5(2)(a)(iv) hereof or a Capital Reorganization described in subclause 5(2)(d)(ii) hereof). |
#4119003
9
(c) | No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be made in respect of any event described in section 5 hereof if the Warrantholder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Warrantholder had exercised the Warrants prior to or on the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event. |
(d) | No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be made pursuant to subsection 5(2) hereof in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares pursuant to this Warrant Certificate or pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan in effect from time to time for directors, officers or employees of the Corporation and/or any subsidiary of the Corporation and any such issue, and any grant of options in connection therewith, shall be deemed not to be a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering nor any other event described in subsection 5(2) hereof. |
(e) | If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in subsection 5(2) hereof, which in the opinion of the directors would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of Warrantholders, either or both the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of Warrants shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time by action by the directors, in their sole discretion, as may be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of the taking of action by the directors so as to provide for an adjustment prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances. |
(g) | In any case in which this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in subsection 5(2) hereof, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event: |
(ii) | delivering to the Warrantholder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Common Shares or other securities after such record date and before such event; |
#4119003
10
provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to the Warrantholder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of the Warrantholder upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants and to such distribution declared with respect to any such additional Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Warrants.
(j) | As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to subsection 5(2) hereof, including the Exercise Price and the number or class of Common Shares or other securities which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any action which may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable shares all of the Common Shares or other securities which the Warrantholder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate. |
(2) | Notice: At least 21 days prior to the earlier of the record date or effective date of any event which requires or might require an adjustment in any of the rights of the Warrantholder under this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant Certificate, the Corporation shall deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate of the Corporation specifying the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the calculation of such adjustment. In case any adjustment for which a notice in this subsection 5(4) has been given is not then determinable, the Corporation shall promptly |
#4119003
11
after such adjustment is determinable deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate providing the calculation of such adjustment. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that the register of transfers and share transfer books for the Common Shares will be open, and that the Corporation will not take any action which might deprive the Warrantholder of the opportunity of exercising the rights of subscription contained in this Warrant Certificate, during such 21 day period.
8. | Governing Laws: This Warrant Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. |
Notices to the Corporation shall be addressed to:
Assure Holdings Corp. 4600 South Ulster Street Denver, Colorado 80237
Attention: John Farlinger, CEO Email: john.farlinger@assureiom.com
Notices to the Warrantholder shall be addressed to the address of the Warrantholder set out on page 2 of this Warrant Certificate.
The Corporation and the Warrantholder may change its address for service by notice in writing to the other of them specifying its new address for service under this Warrant Certificate.
Any certificate representing Common Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants prior to the date which is four months and one day after the date hereof will bear the following legends:
"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL NOT TRADE THE SECURITIES BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER JUNE 14, 2021.

provided that at any time subsequent to the date which is four months and one day after the date hereof any certificate representing such Common Shares may be exchanged for a certificate bearing no such legend. The Corporation shall use the best efforts thereof to cause the registrar and transfer agent to deliver the certificate representing such Common Shares within ten (10) business days after receipt of the legended certificate or certificates.
In addition to the foregoing, any certificate representing Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants will bear the following legend:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
