(i) Any amounts which become payable to the Bank under the Facility Letter or the Security Documents and which are not paid when due shall accrue interest and be payable from the due date at the Bank’s Prime Rate plus 1.50% per annum, compounded monthly and payable on the last day of each month, both before and after demand, maturity, default and judgment, if no other interest rate is expressed for such amounts;

(j) All payments by the Borrower to the Bank shall be made at the address of the branch of the Bank set out on the first page of the Facility Letter or at such other place as the Bank may specify in writing from time to time. Any payment delivered or made to the Bank by 1:00 p.m. local time at the place where such payment is to be made shall be credited as of that day, but if made afterwards shall be credited as of the next day on which the said branch is open for business;

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Facility Letter, the Bank may, in its discretion, make an advance under the Loans to pay any unpaid interest or fees which have become due under the terms of the Facility Letter;

(1) The Borrower acknowledges that the actual recording of the amount of any advance or repayment thereof under the Loans, and interest, fees and other amounts due in connection with the Loans, in an account of the Borrower maintained by the Bank shall

constitute prima facie evidence of the Borrower’s indebtedness and liability from time to time under the Loans; provided that the obligation of the Borrower to pay or repay any indebtedness and liability in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loans shall not be affected by the failure of the Bank to make such recording. The Borrower also acknowledges being indebted to the Bank for principal amounts shown as outstanding from time to time in the Bank’s account records, and all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such amounts, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Facility Letter;

(m) The obligation of the Borrower to make all payments under the Facility Letter and the Security Documents shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be limited or affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation:

(i) any set-off, compensation, counterclaim, recoupment, defence or other right which the Borrower may have against the Bank or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; or

(ii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceedings by or against the Borrower;

(n) In addition to and not in limitation of any rights now or hereafter available to the Bank whether applicable law or arising in the Security Documents, the Bank is authorized, at any time and from time to time, upon delivery of written notice to the Borrower to set-off and appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general and special) and any other indebtedness at any time held by or owing by the Bank to or for the credit of the Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Bank under this Facility Letter. The Bank agrees to provide written notice of the exercise of any of the rights under this section immediately after the exercise of such rights;

(o) The remedies, rights and powers of the Bank under this Facility Letter, the Security Documents and at law and in equity are cumulative and not alternative and are not in substitution for any other remedies, rights or powers of the Bank and no delay or omission in exercise of such remedy, right, or power shall exhaust such remedies, rights or powers or be construed as a waiver of any of them.

IV. Conditions Precedent

In addition to the Conditions Precedent previously set out, it shall also be a condition precedent to the initial advance and continued availability of the Loans that the Bank shall have received:

(a) The Security Documents completed and, where necessary, registered in form and manner satisfactory to the Bank’s solicitors;

(b) Verification of insurance arranged by the Borrower conforming to the Bank’s requirements;

V. Borrower’s Covenants and Conditions

In addition to the conditions previously set out, the following conditions shall apply until the Loans are repaid in full and cancelled:

(a) The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Bank:

(i) grant or allow any lien, charge, security interest, privilege, hypothec or other encumbrance, to be registered against or exist on any of its assets and in particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not grant a trust deed or other instrument in favour of a trustee, other than second ranking liens in favor of Investissement Quebec and to be published on the date hereof;

(ii) become guarantor or endorser or otherwise become liable upon any note or other obligation other than in the normal course of business of the Borrower;

(iii) declare or pay dividends on any class or kind of its shares, repurchase or redeem any of its shares or reduce its capital in any way whatsoever or repay any shareholders’ advances;

(iv) amalgamate with or permit all or substantially all of its assets to be acquired by any other person, firm or corporation or permit any reorganization or change of control of the Borrower;

(v) permit any property taxes or strata fees to be past due at any time.

(b) The Bank shall have the right to waive the delivery of any Security Documents or the performance of any term or condition of the Facility Letter, and may advance all or any portion of the Loans prior to satisfaction of any of the Conditions Precedent, but waiver by the Bank of any obligation or condition shall not constitute a waiver of performance of such obligation or condition in the future;

(d) If the amount outstanding under any Loan in Canadian dollars plus the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the amount outstanding under any Loan in a currency other than Canadian dollars at any time exceeds the amount authorized under that Loan, the Bank may, from time to time, in its sole discretion:

(i) limit the further utilization of that Loan;

(ii) convert all or part of the amount outstanding under that Loan to Canadian Dollars in which event, interest shall accrue and be paid on such converted amounts at the rate set out in the Facility Letter for Canadian dollar advances accruing interest with reference to the Bank’s Prime Rate. If no such rate is set out in the Facility Letter, interest shall accrue on the amount so converted at the Bank’s Prime Rate

plus 3% per annum, compounded monthly and payable on the last day of each month, both before and after demand, maturity, default and judgment, until paid;

(iii) require the Borrower to pay off the excess;

(e) The Borrower shall indemnify the Bank against any loss incurred by it as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for the payment of any amount due under the Facility Letter or the Security Documents, where:

(i) such judgment or order is expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency of an outstanding loan (the “Loan Currency”); and

(ii) there is a variation between:

(c) the rate of exchange at which the Loan Currency amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purposes of such judgment or order, and

the rate of exchange at which the Bank is able to purchase the Loan Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency when actually received by the Bank.

The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Borrower and shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted to the Borrower from time to time, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

VI. Bank Visits

Representatives of the Bank shall be entitled to attend at the Borrower’s business premises and to view all financial records of the Borrower at any time, on reasonable notice.

VII. Non-Merger and Non-Assignment

This Facility Letter shall, on execution by the Borrower and each Guarantor, replace all previous facility letters from the Bank to the Borrower with respect to the Loan. Any existing loan to the Borrower shall be modified, not refinanced, without novation of the Borrower’s existing facilities or obligations, by virtue of the Facility Letter unless otherwise provided in the Facility Letter. The terms and conditions of the Facility Letter shall not be merged by and shall survive the execution of the Security Documents. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Facility Letter and the terms of the Security Documents, the terms of this Facility Letter shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.

The benefits conferred by this Facility Letter shall enure to the benefit of the Bank and its successors and assigns and shall be binding on the Borrower and Guarantor and their successors and permitted assigns.

Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor shall assign all or any of its rights, benefits or obligations under this Facility Letter without the prior written consent of the Bank.

VIII. Waiver or Variation

No term or condition of the Facility Letter or any of the Security Documents may be waived or varied verbally or by any course of conduct of any officer, employee or agent of the Bank. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.

Any amendment to the Facility Letter or the Security Documents must be in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Bank and the Borrower.

IX. Consent and Acknowledgement to Collection, Use and Disclosure of Information

When it is necessary for providing products and services to the Borrower or any Guarantor, the Borrower and each Guarantor consents to the Bank obtaining from any credit reporting agency or from any person any information (including personal information) that the Bank may require at any time. The Borrower and each Guarantor also consent to the disclosure at any time by the Bank any information concerning the Borrower and any Guarantor to any credit grantor, to any credit reporting agency, or to the Bank’s subsidiaries and affiliates. If applicable, the Borrower also authorizes the Bank to release the information contemplated by any builder’s lien or similar legislation to all persons claiming a right to such information under such legislation. The Borrower and each Guarantor may refuse or withdraw these consents; however this may result in the Bank cancelling or withholding products or services for which these consents are necessary. Unless each Guarantor advises the Bank otherwise, the Bank may use the each Guarantor’s social insurance number to help ensure accurate credit enquiries.

X. Time of Essence

Time shall be of the essence of the Facility Letter.

XI. Governing Law

This Facility Letter and, unless otherwise specified therein, all other documents or instruments delivered in accordance with this Facility Letter shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Quebec (the “Governing Jurisdiction”) and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

Attention: Messrs. Herschel Segal and Howard Tafler

Dear Sirs:

Reference is made to that certain facility letter addressed to you by HSBC Bank Canada (“Bank”) dated August 19, 2013, as amended from time to time (“Facility Letter”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Facility Letter.

The Bank hereby confirms to you that the Capital Loan is a committed term facility maturing on September 30, 2016 (“Maturity Date”) and repayable in equal consecutive monthly instalments of principal, together with interest as set forth in the Facility Letter, and sections 2.1 and 2.4 of the Facility Letter are amended accordingly. The Bank confirms to you that the Capital Loan can be repaid prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or in part, without interest penalties provided that banker’s acceptances may only be repaid at maturity and Libor Loans are subject to payment of a Compensating Amount if paid other than at the end of the Libor Period.

A second paragraph is added to section 2.4 as follows:

“The Capital Loan is repayable in full upon the occurrence of a Default (as defined in the scheduled hereto) which is continuing.”

The schedule is amended by adding the following definition of “Default”:

“Default” means each of the following events or circumstances:

(a) if the Borrower fails to pay when due any amount payable pursuant hereto;

(b) if the Borrower fails to pay any indebtedness for borrowed money exceeding CDN S200,000 in the aggregate and which are owed otherwise than under this Facility Letter, and if such failure is not remedied or waived within five Business Days after a notice to that effect is given to the Borrower by the Bank;

(c) if the Borrower or Guarantor ceases to carry on its business or becomes insolvent or bankrupt, or if a liquidator is appointed in respect of the Borrower or the Guarantor;

(d) if the Guarantor attempts to terminate its Guarantee;

(e) if property of the Borrower having a value in excess of S250,000 is seized

or is subject to a taking of possession by a creditor, or is placed under sequestration, unless such seizure, taking of possession or sequestration is being contested in good faith and does not disrupt the normal operations of the Borrower;

(f) if any of the representations and warranties made in this Facility Letter, or if a document supplied by the Borrower in connection with this Facility Letter is erroneous in any material respect at the time such representation and warranty is made;

(g) if the Borrower otherwise fails to fulfil any of its obligations under this Facility Letter or any agreement evidencing the Security and if such failure is not remedied within seven (7) Business Days after a notice of such failure is given by the Bank;

(h) if there is a change in the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower that would reasonably be expected to have a significant adverse effect on the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder.”

In all other respects, the Facility Letter is hereby ratified and confirmed.

Kindly acknowledge your receipt and acceptance of the terms hereof by signing this letter in the space indicated below and returning it to the Bank on or before May 30th, 2014, failing which the terms hereof shall be null and of no effect.

Yours very truly.
