Section 2.03 Limitation on Grant of Security Interest.

 

(a)To the extent the grant of the security interest in respect of any contract, permit, lease, licence, instrument, document or other agreement entered into by the Debtor would result in the breach or termination of or cause a default under such contract, permit, lease, licence, instrument, or other agreement (each an “Excluded Asset”), each such Excluded Asset shall not be subject to the security interest created hereby while such restriction applies but shall be held in trust by the Debtor in favour of the Secured Party, but only for so long as such prohibition or requirement for consent is not terminated, rendered unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by the PPSA or any other applicable law; provided however that Excluded Assets shall not include any Proceeds, products, substitutions or replacements of any Excluded Asset (unless such Proceeds, products, substitutions, or replacements would themselves otherwise constitute Excluded Assets) and provided further that if any Excluded Asset would have otherwise constituted Collateral, when such asset shall cease to be an Excluded Asset, such asset shall be deemed at all times from and after the date hereof to constitute Collateral subject to the security interest created hereby.

Section 12.10 Counterparts and Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, notice or other forms of communication, may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. A handwritten or electronically signed counterpart of this Agreement delivered by email (“PDF” or “tif” format) or other electronic or digital transmission (including by transmission over an electronic platform acceptable to the Secured Party such as DocuSign or the equivalent thereof) is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement. Electronic signature means a signature that consists of one or more letters, characters, numbers or other symbols in digital form incorporated in, attached to or associated with an electronic document that is sent or stored by means of any electronic or digital transmission. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of similar import in any agreement, instruction, document, information or other form of communication, shall be deemed to include electronic or digital signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same effect, validity and enforceability as manually executed signatures or a paper-based record keeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for under applicable law, including Parts 2 and 3 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) and other similar federal or provincial laws.

 

Section 12.11 Conflict with Convertible Note. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Convertible Note, the terms of the Convertible Note shall govern to the extent necessary to remove the conflict or inconsistency.
