NOTICE OF MOTION(approval and vesting order)
Respondents
BDO Canada Limited ("BDO"), in its capacity as receiver (the "Receiver") of TDCI
Bracebridge Inc ("TDCI"), will make a motion to a judge presiding over the Commercial List on
Thursday, July 30, 2015 at 10:00 a.m., or as soon after that time as the Motion can be heard at the

Report pending completion of the Sale Transaction or further order of the
Court; and
Legal'14792862.2
-3-
(b) such further and other relief as counsel may request and this Honourable Court
may deem just.
THE GROUNDS FOR THE MOTION ARE
Background
(a) Thie Receiver was appointed in the context of an oppression remedy application.
On February 27, 2015, following a two day oral hearing, the Honourable Mr.
Justice Pattillo appointed the Receiver. The Receiver's mandate extends to
investigating certain aspects of TDCI's business and affairs and conducting an
accounting of funds diverted to the personal use of the respondents Clive Figueira
and Carol Tarback;
(b) In the First Report the Receiver outlined its activities since its appointment,
particularly its efforts to control and stabilize a TDCI's owned development
property in Bracebridge, Ontario;
(c) The Receiver has marketed and sold TDCI's property and entered into the Sale
Agreement, subject to court approval;
Sales Process
(d) Prior to the Receiver's appointment, Melvyn Eisen ("Eisen") had purported to
commence power of sale proceedings. Eisen provided the Receiver with a copy of
an agreement of purchase and sale dated February 10, 2015, between Eisen and
the Purchaser for the property known municipally as 345 Ecclestone Drive,
Bracebridge, Ontario (the "Ecclestone Property") and an adjacent 71 acre parcel
of potentially developable lands (the "Development Lands");
Legal"14792862.2
(e) The Receiver met with the Purchaser and advised that prior to entering an
agreement for the sale of the properties, the Receiver would need to complete a
marketing process and the Purchaser would need to submit an offer to the
Receiver (as opposed to Eisen);
(f) In March 2014, the Receiver engaged two appraisers to value the Ecclestone
Property, the Development Lands and a 35 acre parcel of land for potential
residential development (the "Keith Road Property", with the Ecclestone Property
and Development Lands, collectively, the "Properties"). Both appraisers
submitted their reports to the Receiver by May 5, 2015. The Receiver also
contacted real estate agents who had acted for TDCI in the past to request details
of the listing history and offers submitted through their offices;
(g) The Receiver engaged in a targeted marketing campaign of the Properties and
engaged a real estate broker;
(h) The Receiver's marketing process commenced on May 20, 2015. Specifically, the
Receiver:
(i) contacted brokers and commercial real estate agents in the previous sale
process;
(ii) sent an electronic announcement to over 800 members of the national
BDO network;
(iii) contacted various parties who previously expressed an interest in the
Properties directly to the Receiver;
(iv) placed advertisements in the Globe and Mail on June 2 and 4, 2015; and
Legal*14792862.2
-5-
(v) erected a for sale sign on the Ecclestone Property to increase exposure for
the sale.
(i) The Receiver also prepared a teaser ad and an information package, which was
distributed to interested parties who signed a confidentiality agreement. The
Receiver also drafted an asset purchase agreement;
(j) The deadline for the receipt of offers was June 26, 2015;
(k) A total of 24 parties provided expressions of interest, eleven parties signed
confidentiality agreements and four parties toured the Properties. One letter of
intent was submitted by June 26, 2015. The Purchaser also submitted an offer to
the Receiver;
(I) As a result of the sales process, effective June 30, 2015, the Receiver, subject to
Court approval, entered into the Sale Agreement with the Purchaser whereby the
Purchaser has agreed to purchase TDCI's right, title and interest, if any, in and to
the Purchased Assets;
(m) The purchase price for the Purchased Assets is to be satisfied by a combination of
cash consideration and financing to be provided by Eisen by either an
amendment/assumption of the existing Eisen mortgage debt or registration of a
new mortgage in favour of Eisen;
(n) The closing of the Sale Transaction is conditional on the granting of the requested
approval and vesting order by July 31, 2015, and the Purchaser entering into an
agreement with Premier and BVHL for the purchase of any and all personal
property located on the Properties owned by Premier or BVHL (the
"Premier/BVHL Condition"). The Receiver understands that the Purchaser and
Legal"14792862.2
Premier/BVHL have not entered into the agreement contemplated by the
Premier/BVHL Condition and that condition remains outstanding.
(o) For the reasons outlined in more detail in the Second Report, the Receiver is of the
view that the Sale Agreement should be approved as it is the result of a fair,
complete and transparent sales process, is accompanied by a substantial deposit,
and the Sales Transaction provides the greatest value to the stakeholders of any
of the offers received.
Auction of Other Assets
(p) Prior to closing of the Sale Transaction, the Excluded Property (as that term is
defined in the Sale Agreement) needs to be removed from the Ecclestone
Property. The Excluded Property is comprised of both assets of TDCI for which
other no other ownership claims have been asserted, and certain assets for which
Tarback and/or Figuiera have asserted ownership rights (the "Disputed Assets").
The Receiver has had difficulty reconciling what Figueira has claimed to be the
property of either he or Tarback, versus property purchased with TDCI funds due
to, among other reasons, a lack of documentation;
(q) As the Excluded Property must be removed prior to closing of the Sale
Transaction, the Receiver believes that it is most economical to sell the Excluded
Property prior to closing. The Receiver further believes that an on-site auction is
the most efficient way to realize upon the Excluded Property;
(r) The Receiver proposes that the Auctioneer be engaged to conduct the on-site
auction accordance with the terms of a letter agreement dated July 23, 2015, with
Legal"14792862.2
-7-
the net proceeds of sale from the auction to be received by the Receiver and to be
held pending further Court order;
Confidential Appendices
(s) Disclosure of the information contained in the Confidential Appendices to the
Second Report included in confidential appendix briefs would negatively impact
the Receiver's ability to carry out its mandate by, among other things, interfering
with the integrity of any subsequent sales process in respect of the Purchased
Assets if the Sales Transaction is not completed, included by impairing the
Receiver's ability to maximize realization of the Purchased Assets were any
information to be made public concerning any discussions of sales process or
value of the Purchased Assets among the Receiver, the parties or any of their
advisors and/or possible bidders for the Purchased Assets.
Ancillary Relief
(t) Further, the Receiver seeks the approval of the First Report and the Second
Report and its activities as set out therein;
(u) As set out in the Fee Affidavits, the Receiver and its counsel have incurred fees in
the course of their respective duties as Receiver and as counsel, and such fees
ought to be approved;
Other
(v) Rule 1.04, 2.01, 3.02, and 37 of the Rules of Civil Procedure;
(w) Such further and other grounds as the lawyers may advise.
Legal"14792862.2
THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE will be used at the hearing of the Motion:
(a) The Second Report and the appendices attached thereto; and
(b) Such further and other evidence as the lawyers may advise and this Honourable
Court may permit.

SECOND REPORT TO THE COURTSUBMITTED BY BDO CANADA LIMITEDIN ITS CAPACITY AS RECEIVER OF
TDCI BRACEBRIDGE INC.
July 24, 2015
Introduction
1. By Order of the Honourable Mr. Justice Pattillo dated February 27, 2015 (the
"Receivership Order"), BDO Canada Limited was appointed as receiver (in such capacity, the
"Receiver"), without security, of all of the assets, undertakings and properties of TDCI
Bracebridge Inc. ("TDCI"). The Receivership Order was granted on a motion brought by Beaver
Valley Holdings Limited ("BVHL"), Grace Adshade ("Adshade") and Premiere Self Storage
Ltd. ("Premiere") (collectively the "Applicants"). A copy of the Receivership Order is attached
hereto as Appendix "A". Justice Pattillo's reasons for decision ("Reasons") are attached as
Appendix "B".
2. As is clear from the Reasons, this is not a conventional secured creditor enforcement
proceeding. Prior to the dispute giving rise to these proceedings, Adshade and the respondent,
Clive Figueira ("Figueira"), were partners in the acquisition and proposed development (through
TDCI) of 124 acres of land in Bracebridge, Ontario.
~C'~
the Excluded Property, including the Disputed Assets, a detailed list of which are attached as
Appendix "~I,M" hereto (the "Auction Assets").
69. The Receiver proposes that Global Assets Solutions Inc. (the "Auctioneer") be engaged to
conduct the on-site auction substantialiv in accordance with the terms of a letter agreement
attached as Appendix "~N" hereto. Given the Receiver's knowledge of the auction market
generally, the nature and location of the assets and the required auction time frame for removal, the
Receiver is of the view that the 20% fee proposed by the Auctioneer is reasonable in the
circumstances.
70. The Receiver understands that Premier may also engage the Auctioneer to conduct an
auction of certain assets located in storage lockers at the Ecclestone Property (for which storage
payment has not been received) at the same time as the proposed auction of the Auction Assets.
71. Accordingly, the Receiver respectfully requests that the Court grant an order approving the
engagement of the Auctioneer on the terms set out in the letter agreement attached as Appendix
"~1N" hereto with respect to the Auction Assets with the net proceeds of sale from the auction
received by the Receiver to be held pending further Court order.
Secured Creditors and Priority Claims
72. A copy of the parcel abstract is attached as Appendix "~O" to this report. The Receiver is
advised that Eisen holds registered mortgages in first and second position totaling $7,250,000.
The former Dura Mortgage, with a face value of $1,700,000 is subordinated to Eisen's mortgages,
as is a mortgage in favour of Lisa Brault.
73. A copy of search results under the Personal Property Security Act as against TDCI is
attached as Appendix "OP". At the date of the appointment of the Receiver, the only registration
was from BVHL notifying of its ownership of the pylon sign in front of Ecclestone.
74. Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") has conducted audits of the employee source
deductions/payroll ("Payroll") for TDCI. Following the audit the CRA has advanced a claim for
unremitted payroll source amounts of $9,639.33. ~ rr-~-~~t-~e~at-e~-~:e
... , .
. ~ . . ': The Receiver believes that there is an HST
refund available as of the date of the Receivership.
-2-
3. The application (for among other things oppression remedy relied was commenced in
August 2014 and came to trial in February 2015. Justice Pattillo disbelieved Figueira's evidence
and found that his conduct in relation to the Applicants merited the appointment of a receiver
over TDCI pursuant to section 101 of the Courts of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.43, as
amended, and section 248 of the Business Corporations Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. B. 16, as amended.
The Reasons are uniformly critical of Figueira, finding, among other things, that he used TDCI
as his "personal cash machine".
4. It is important to note that Justice Pattillo ordered that the Receiver's mandate go beyond
the typical model order receivership powers. Specifically, the Reasons direct that the Receiver:
(a) "investigate the accounts of TDCI and such further records as may be necessary
to complete an accounting of all funds diverted or converted by Figueira and [the
respondent Carol Tarback ("Tarback")] to their personal use"; and
(b) investigate, report upon, and if possible resolve any issues involving TDCI and
Premiere, a co-applicant storage facility business owned by Adshade.
5. By way of background, TDCI purchased certain lands and buildings in Bracebridge (the
"Ecclestone Property") from Dura Automotive Systems (Canada), Ltd. ("Duc•a") on March 26,
2009 for $3,000,000.
6. The building on the Ecclestone Property has been substantially renovated but is only
partially leased. The revenue generated from the leased space currently provides the only cash
flow for TDCI.
7. Along with the Ecclestone Property, TDCI owns two other pieces of real property
(collectively the "Properties"): (i) an adjacent 71 acre parcel of potentially developable lands (the
"Developments Lands") and (ii) a 35 acre parcel of land for potential residential development
(the "Keith Road Property").
8. On March 13, 2015, the Receiver filed its First Report to the Court (the "First Report").
The First Report detailed conservatory and protective measures taken by the Receiver, provided
background as to power of sale proceedings commenced by first mortgagee Melvyn Eisen
("Eisen"), explained Figueira's interference with the administration of the receivership, and
-3-
described the Receiver's initial valuation and realization activities. A copy of the First Report
(without appendices) is attached as Appendix "C".
9. The Receivership Order was amended by the Court on March 17, 2015 to authorize the
Receiver to borrow up to $500,000 (the "Amended Receivership Order"). The amendment was
required because the Receivership Order inadvertently omitted a borrowing limit. A copy of the
Amended Receivership Order is attached as Appendix "D".
10. Justice Pattillo granted an order on July 10, 2015 (the "July 10 Order") that addressed
certain outstanding TDCI privilege claims and authorized the Receiver to obtain an independent
security review and conduct a mortgage accounting in respect of the Eisen mortgage security. A
copy of the July 10 Order is attached as Appendix "E".

Summary of Receiver's Activities Since Last Report
13. Since March 13, 2015, the Receiver's activities have included, among other things:
• Overseeing and monitoring TDCI's ongoing operations, including stabilizing
operations, reviewing ongoing operating commitments, and overseeing accounting
functions, rent collection and bill payments;
• Attending to critical repairs, including arranging for the installation of a gas meter
and reconnecting gas services to the building, remedying regulatory work orders (i.e.
Bracebridge Fire Department) and ensuring essential services are maintained;
• Considering cash flow constraints and funding/borrowing requirements;
• Monitoring receipts and disbursements, coordinating Receiver's borrowings, and
liaising with various stakeholders as appropriate;
• Attending numerous tenant meetings to address concerns regarding critical repairs
and to provide updates on the Receiver's sales efforts;

including commissioning appraisals of the Properties;
-5-
• Preparing relevant documents for use in the sales process including a confidentiality
agreement, investment summary, and template form of agreement of purchase;
• Facilitating site visits and responding to due diligence information requests from
prospective purchasers;
• Corresponding with prospective purchasers, realty brokers and other key
stakeholders;

• Updating relevant stakeholders througout the sales and marketing process;
• Corresponding with tenants, staff, creditors, stakeholders and their legal counsel;
• Reviewing and responding to communications and information requests from the
Applicants, mortgagees, and current and former legal counsel to TDCI and Tarback;
• Analyzing issues having to do with a solar power contract and solar array hardware
("Solar Assets") on the Ecclestone Property, particularly with respect to legal rights
asserted in the Solar Assets and the potential realization of value for creditors from
the Solar Assets;
~ Working to indentify and address issues having to do with the relationship between
TDCI and Premiere, particularly matters arising from how their respective businesses
were improperly combined by Figueira; and
• Preparing a mortgage accounting in respect of the Eisen Charges.
Status of Premises
14. In the months since the First Report, the Receiver has continued to expend a significant
amount of time and resources stabilizing TDCI's business and operations and conducting critical
repairs to the Ecclestone Property. Repairs have been required to fix non-functioning HVAC
systems, sprinkler systems and water mains, and to address leaks in the roof and fire code
violations. A gas meter that had been removed due to non-payment of accounts was reinstalled.
Essential heating, alarm and fire suppression systems were restored.
~:~
15. Security and fire watch services were maintained during non-business hours through to
May 19, 2015, as the fire suppression and alarm system at the Ecclestone Property was found to
be inoperative due to a water main break and damage to the pump house. This damage occurred
pre-receivership during the period when the premises were not heated.
Receiver's Borrowings
16. Pursuant to paragraph 21 of the Amended Receivership Order, the Receiver is permitted
to borrow up to $500,000 as is necessary or desirable to fund the receivership.
17. As explained in the First Report, the Receiver anticipated a $365,000 cash flow
deficiency over the March to May period as a result of expenditures required to stabilize
operations, perform critical repairs, and to fund Receivership administration costs.
18. The Receiver arranged a credit facility with Bridging Financial Inc. (the "BFI Demand
Loan") on March 24, 2015. A copy of the BFI Demand Loan agreement is attached as Appendix
«G»
19. The BFI Demand Loan provides for Receiver's Borrowings of up to $500,000 with a
repayment term not to exceed nine months from the date of the initial advance. As of July 15,
2015, $500,000 has been advanced as Receiver's Borrowings which amount remains
outstanding.
Books and Records
20. In the days immediately following its appointment, the Receiver was able to secure
certain TDCI's books and records, including some accounting records, located at the premises.
Other records, particularly documents related to agreements made by Figueira, were not found
on the premises and the Receiver has been advised by TDCI staff that such materials were
removed by Figueira. The Receiver's inability to locate TDCI records has made it impossible for
the Receiver to determine the ownership of certain assets on the premises, some of which have
been claimed by Figueira and Tarback as their personal property.
21. The Receiver contacted counsel for TDCI, Thomas M. Sheppard ("Sheppard"), to seek
access to relevant TDCI legal files, particularly files relating to TDCI financing and development
proposals. The Receiver was advised by Sheppard (or his counsel, Gowlings) that certain of the
-~-
documents requested by the Receiver were subject to potential claims of privilege such that they
would not be produced to the Receiver.
22. TDCI related privilege claims were negotiated between counsel for all parties asserting
an interest in the records. Ultimately, issues in relation to claims of privilege and access to
documents were settled. The settlement is reflected in the terms of the July 10 Order.
23. With the assistance of the July 10 Order, the Receiver has obtained a significant volume
of TDCI books and records from TDCI service providers. Despite repeated requests, Figueira
and Tarback have not produced any TDCI records to the Receiver.
Figueira's Ongoing Interference with Receiver
24. The First Report extensively documents Figueira's activities and non-cooperation with
the Receiver.
25. More recently, Figueira has interfered with the receivership as follows:
• The Receiver has been advised by staff at eMove, a software service provider for the
storage business, that Figueira attempted to change account authority and redirect
funds collected for self storage locker rents. The Receiver was successful in securing
control of the account with eMove and funds are now being directed to the Receiver's
trust account;
• Figueira is believed to have contacted Hostgator, TDCI's website and email services
provider, and terminated all account access and services. Hostgator has refused to
restore access and authority to the Receiver on the basis that the company operates in
the United States and is not bound by the Receivership Order. The Receiver and its
counsel have been in contact with Hostgator, and its parent company, but have so far
not been able to restore access;
• On February 27, 2015, following the grant of the Receivership Order, Figueira and/or
Tarback apparently withdrew $11,003.95 from TDCI's bank account. The Receiver
had demanded return of the funds, but Figueira and Tarback have not complied; and
• Figueira has had ongoing contacts with staff employed at the Ecclestone Property,
notwithstanding the Receiver's direction that communications be through its offices.
Operating Results
26. As discussed in the First Report, BDO was initially engaged by the Applicants and
instructed by this Court to conduct a review of TDCI's business and accounts. BDO submitted
two reports to the Court detailing its observations.
27. BDO's observations included, among other things, incomplete books and records and
source documentation, incorrect and incomplete postings of material transactions, personal
expenses for Tarback and Figueira being paid from TDCI bank accounts, and improper
allocation of revenue and expenses.
28. This Court has found, at paragraph 43 of the Reasons, that Figueira has taken steps to
incorporate the business of the applicant, Premiere, into the business of TDCI. The Receiver's
mandate extends to considering how this was done, but not to "untangling" or "separating out"
Premiere from TDCI.
29. Due to the lack of records, and the poor and incomplete nature of available records, the
Receiver has unfortunately not been able to make significant progress in addressing issues
having to do with Figueira's attempted incorporation of Premiere's business into TDCI. Certain
of the Receiver's observations in respect of Premiere are summarized at Schedule "A" to this
Report.
30. The revenues associated with TDCI, BVHL and Premiere include the following:
• Premiere —rental payments from the self storage lockers;
• TDCI —rental payments from tenants under leases and month-to-month agreements;
• BVHL -Sign rental; and
• TDCI -Warehouse rental.
31. The Receiver has collected rents from the self storage lockers in the amount of
$77,426.45 from March 1 to July 21, 2015. Self storage locker revenue by month is summarized
in the attached Appendix "H".
32. At the commencement of the receivership proceedings, there were a number of tenants
that alleged they had "deals" (for set-off of rents or payment of rents by the provision of certain
services such as legal services for TDCI and Figueira personally, repairs and maintenance and
personal loans to Figueira which remain unpaid) with Figueira and accordingly were refusing to
pay rent to the Receiver. The Receiver advised that there would be no further set-offs
subsequent to the Receivership and that rents would need to be paid effective March 1, 2015.
The tenants who were claiming set-off were JPM Landscaping Ltd ("JPM"), Bask Pro Insulation
and Traffic Ticket Ally ("TTA").
33. The Receiver entered into a new lease agreement with Bask Pro Insulation, however JPM
and TTA would not agree to pay rent and vacated the premises.
34. Since its appointment, the Receiver has entered into eight new leases with tenants on
terms that the Receiver views as commercially fair and reasonable. The additional rental
revenue attributed to these leases totals $8,476 per month. Current rental collections from
tenants total $27,610 per month. A copy of July rent roll is attached as Appendix "I".
35. In addition to rents collected for use of space, certain tenants pay rent for advertising
space on the sign located in front of the Ecclestone Property. The sign is owned by BVHL, one
of the applicants in the proceedings. Monthly rents collected since the Receiver's appointment
total $1,350. A summary of the sign rents collected by month are attached as Appendix "J".
36. The Receiver did not collect any rents associated with the warehouse space other than
rent from Canadian Tire pursuant to a lease agreement of $1,719 per month. The warehouse
space was primarily being used as winter storage for boats and vehicles from approximately
October to May. Rents for the storage of the vehicles and boats were prepaid at the beginning of
the season.
Consideration of Solar Assets
37. As indicated in the summary of the Receiver's activities, the Receiver has devoted some
time to understanding rights and interests related to the Solar Assets. The focus of the review
was to assess potential value as may be realized for the account of TDCI creditors. The
Receiver's observations and conclusions in relation to the Solar Assets are summarized in
Schedule "B" to this Report.
38. As explained below, it is anticipated that the Solar Assets will be the subject of a
transaction between the proposed purchaser of the Properties and the owner of the Solar Assets.
-10-
Vroperty Sale Transaction
39. As discussed in the First Report, prior to the Receivership, Eisen purported to commence
power of sale proceedings in respect of the Properties. Eisen had provided the Receiver with a
copy of an agreement of Purchase and Sale dated February 10, 2015 with a scheduled closing
date of March 10, 2015 between Eisen as mortgagee and the Purchaser for the Ecclestone
Property and the Development Lands (the "Original Sancus Offer"). Eisen expressed to the
Receiver that in his view, the Receiver should complete the transaction contemplated by the
Original Sancus Offer.
40. The Receiver and Cassels held numerous discussions with Eisen regarding the process
that needed to occur prior to the Receiver entering into any sale transaction. That process
included obtaining independent appraisals and conducting a sale and marketing process prior to
seeking court approval of a sale by the Receiver.
41. In this context, the Receiver understands that prior to the receivership proceedings, the
Ecclestone Property had been listed with Avison Young Commercial Real Estate in May of 2013
for $8,250,000 with a later amended listing price of $8,750,000. As well, in August of 2013 the
Development Lands were listed with Colliers at a listing price of $10,500,000.
42. The Receiver also met with the Purchaser and advised that prior to entering into an
agreement with the Receiver, an offer would need to be submitted to the Receiver and could not
be entered into by the Receiver until such time as appraisals had been received and a sale and
marketing process had been completed.
43. The Receiver engaged Altus Group Limited ("Altus") and Appraisers Canada Inc.
("ACI") in March of 2015. Although the Receiver advised the appraisers of the urgency of the
matter, submission of the appraisals was significantly delayed by both parties due to the nature of
the Properties and the complexities of the storage and solar installations.
44. Altus submitted its appraisal reports on May 6, 12 and 13, 2015 for each of the Properties
with an effective date of April 1, 2015 (the "Altus Appraisals"). Copies of the unredacted Altus
Appraisals are attached as Confidential Appendix "A".
-11-
45. ACI submitted its appraisal report on May 5, 2015 for all of the Properties with an
effective date of April 15, 2015 (the "ACI Appraisal"). A copy of the unredacted ACI Appraisal
is attached as Confidential Appendix "B".
46. The Receiver is seeking a sealing order in respect of the Altus Appraisals and the ACI
Appraisal pending closing of the Sale Transaction or further Order of the Court in order to ensure
that the value of the Properties is not impacted if the Sale Transaction for which court-approval
is being sought does not close.
47. As discussed above, the Ecclestone Property and the Development Lands had previously
been listed. The information provided to the Receiver by the various listing agents informed the
marketing and sale process undertaken by the Receiver. The sales and marketing process was
also developed to take into account the current status of the Properties, current market conditions
and the limited funding available to the Receiver.
48. The Receiver's sales and marketing process commenced on May 20, 2015. Specifically,
the Receiver:
• contacted brokers and commercial real estate agents involved in the previous sale
process;
• sent an electronic announcement to over 800 members of the national BDO network;
• contacted various parties who previously expressed an interest in the Properties
directly to the Receiver;
• placed advertisements in the Globe and Mail on June 2 and 4, 2015; and
• erected a for sale sign on the Ecclestone Property to increase exposure of the sale.
49. The Receiver also prepared a teaser, compiled an information package and distributed the
information package to interested parties who signed a Confidentiality Agreement ("CA"). A
template form of Asset Purchase Agreements ("APA") was provided to the prospective
purchasers to ensure as far as possible, terms and conditions of sale were standardized and easily
comparable.
50. Potential parties were advised by the Receiver that the deadline for the receipt of offers
was June 26, 2015.
-12-
51. A total of 24 parties provided expressions of interest, eleven parties signed CAs and were
provided information packages and four parties completed tours of the Properties. One letter of
intent was submitted by June 26, 2015 (the "Letter of Intent"). A copy of the Letter of Intent is
attached as Confidential Appendix "C".
52. As well, an offer was submitted by the Purchaser which, after negotiations, resulted in the
Sale Agreement which was accepted by the Receiver as of June 30, 2015, subject to the approval
of this Court.
53. Key terms of the Sale Agreement include:
• The Purchased Assets include the real property comprising the Properties along
with Accounts Receivable, Contracts, Equipment, Intellectual Property, Books
and Records and Licenses (as those terms are defined in the Sale Agreement), but
excludes the Excluded Property which is listed on Schedule C to the Sale
Agreement (the "Excluded Property");
• The purchase price for the Purchased Assets is to be satisfied by a combination of
cash consideration and financing to be provided by Eisen (by either an
amendment/assumption of the existing Eisen mortgage debt or registration of a
new mortgage in favour of Eisen);
• The assets are being sold on an ̀as is/where is' basis;
• A significant deposit is required to be paid by the Purchaser (and has been
received by the Receiver);
• The Closing Date is anticipated to be August 10, 2015 or such other date as the
Purchaser and Receiver may agree to in writing;
• The Closing is conditional upon
• an approval and vesting order being granted by the Court no later than
July 31, 2015;
• the Purchaser entering into an agreement with Premiere and BVHL for the
purchase of any and all personal property located on the Properties owned
by Premier or BVHL (the "Premier/BVHL Condition"); and
-13-
• the Receiver shall have received an independent opinion or declaration
from the Court that the Eisen Charges are valid and enforceable and have
priority over other registered security interests in the Properties.
54. At this time the Receiver understands that the Purchaser and Premier/BVHL have not
entered in to an agreement as contemplated by the Premier/BVHL Condition and that condition
remains outstanding.
55. The Receiver further understands that the Purchaser has entered into a separate contract
with Fovere Glenbarra Energy Fund 1 Ltd. ("Fovere") for the purchase of the Solar Assets which
the Receiver understands is scheduled to close contemporaneously with the closing of the Sale
Transaction.
56. A copy of the Sale Agreement with the purchase price and amount of financing redacted
is attached as Appendix "K". A copy of the unredacted Sale Agreement is attached as
Confidential Appendix "D". The Receiver is seeking an order sealing the Confidential
Appendices pending the completion the Sale Transaction or further Order of the Court in order to
ensure that value of the Properties is not impacted if the Sale Transaction does not close.
Evaluation of the Sale Agreement
57. The Receiver has summarized all current and recent appraisals and opinions of value in
the attached Confidential Appendix "E". The consideration contemplated by the Sale Agreement
compares favourably to the appraised values as set out in the Altus Appraisals and the ACI
Appraisal obtained by the Receiver. The Receiver has reviewed a copy of an appraisal obtained
by Figueira for purposes of obtaining financing prior to the receivership (the "Prior Appraisal")
and notes that the value in the Prior Appraisal exceeds the consideration contemplated by the
Sale Agreement. Given the information received by the Receiver, including the results of the
sale and marketing process and the value of the appraisals obtained by the Receiver, the Receiver
is of the view that the value set out in the Prior Appraisal is not reflective of the current market.
58. The Receiver has also summarized offers or expressions of interest that were generated
through previous marketing efforts of which it is aware. Such summary is attached as
Confidential Appendix "F". In many cases the offers included representations by the vendor,
TDCI, regarding the amount of rental revenue in the building. Based on the Receiver's review of
-14-
operations both before and since its appointment none of these rental revenue representations
were ever achieved by TDCI.
59. In the Receiver's view the Sale Agreement compares favourably to the appraised values
received by the Receiver and is the highest and is the highest and best offer received by the
Receiver as a result of the sale and marketing process. Therefore the Receiver recommends
acceptance of the Sale Agreement to the Court.
Auction of Other Assets
60. The Receiver is seeking Court approval to auction the Excluded Property and hold the
proceeds of sale pending further Court Order.
61. The Excluded Property needs to be removed from the Ecclestone Property prior to the
closing of the Sale Transaction. The Excluded Property is comprised of both assets of TDCI for
which no other ownership claims have been asserted and certain assets for which
Tarback/Figuiera have asserted ownership rights (the "Disputed Assets") as described below.
62. Specifically, on March 2, 2015 the Receiver was contacted by Ormston List Frawley LLP
("Ormston"), TDCI's former legal counsel and counsel to Tarback, advising that Tarback and
Figueira had certain personal belongs stored on the property and requested that Figueira be
permitted to attend for the purposes of cataloguing that property.
63. The Receiver advised that Figueira and Tarback would be permitted to attend, however
ownership would need to be proven and, if applicable, storage charges would need to be paid
prior to release of any property.
64. The Receiver made arrangements with Figueira to attend on May 20, 2015, with a
representative of the Receiver for the purposes of identifying property of Tarback and Figueira.
During the attendance the Receiver documented items identified by Figueira as being property
owned by Figueira and Tarback. Some of the assets identified were in the general TDCI space.
Other assets were stored in lockers.
65. The Receiver wrote to Ormston on May 25, 2015 summarizing its tour with Figueira and
its difficulty in reconciling what Figueira claimed to be Figueira or Tarback property versus
property purchased with TDCI funds. The issues are identified as follows:
-15-
• Discrepancies with furniture, equipment and other items being claimed as
property by Figueira are materially different than the information provided to the
Receiver by TDCI staff. As an example, a TDCI staff member provided the
Receiver with proof of purchase for a particular item on a personal credit card,
reimbursed by TDCI, which was being claimed by Figueira;
• Adshade has advised that BVHL advanced funds to purchase office furniture for
use in the TDCI premises, which furniture Figueira also claimed;
• TDCI's general ledger reflects purchases for furniture and equipment in the
amount of $77,000, for which there is no back up documentation;
• TDCI's general ledger also reflects furniture purchases for Figueira and Tarback
personally, paid for with TDCI funds; and
• The Receiver encountered difficulties in determining what furniture and
equipment was purchased by TDCI as the accounting records are incomplete,
invoices for purchases are missing, and there is no listing for furniture and
equipment.
A copy of the Receiver's email of May 25, 2015 is attached as Appendix "L".
66. Another attendance was set up with Figueira on June 11, 2015, for the purpose of
cataloging tools alleged to be owned personally by Figueira. During the attendance Figueira did
not catalogue any of the tools, rather he advised the Receiver that all of the tools were his
personal tools, despite TDCI staff advising the Receiver that many tools were purchased with
TDCI funds.
67. On July 8, 2015, Ormston contacted the Receiver requesting that the Receiver provide a
current invoice for the storage fees outstanding in relation to Figueira's and Tarback's property
and confirmation that Figueira and Tarback could retrieve their property subject to payment of
the storage fees. The Receiver advised Ormston that property would not be released to Figueira
or Tarback as the ownership of the property as outlined in the Receiver's May 25
correspondence had not been resolved.
68. Given that the Excluded Property needs to be removed prior to closing of the Sale
Transaction, the Receiver is of the view that it is most economical to sell the property prior to
-16-
closing. The Receiver's view is that an on-site auction is the most efficient way to realize value
for the Excluded Property, including the Disputed Assets, a detailed list of which are attached as
Appendix "M" hereto (the "Auction Assets").
69. The Receiver proposes that Global Assets Solutions Inc. (the "Auctioneer") be engaged
to conduct the on-site auction substantially in accordance with the terms of a letter agreement
attached as Appendix "N" hereto. Given the Receiver's knowledge of the auction market
generally, the nature and location of the assets and the required auction time frame for removal,
the Receiver is of the view that the 20% fee proposed by the Auctioneer is reasonable in the
circumstances.
70. The Receiver understands that Premier may also engage the Auctioneer to conduct an
auction of certain assets located in storage lockers at the Ecclestone Property (for which storage
payment has not been received) at the same time as the proposed auction of the Auction Assets.
71. Accordingly, the Receiver respectfully requests that the Court grant an order approving
the engagement of the Auctioneer on the terms set out in the letter agreement attached as
Appendix "N" hereto with respect to the Auction Assets with the net proceeds of sale from the
auction received by the Receiver to be held pending further Court order.
Secured Creditors and Priority Claims
72. A copy of the parcel abstract is attached as Appendix "O" to this report. The Receiver is
advised that Eisen holds registered mortgages in first and second position totaling $7,250,000.
The former Dura Mortgage, with a face value of $1,700,000 is subordinated to Eisen's
mortgages, as is a mortgage in favour of Lisa Brault.
73. A copy of search results under the Personal Property Security Act as against TDCI is
attached as Appendix "P". At the date of the appointment of the Receiver, the only registration
was from BVHL notifying of its ownership of the pylon sign in front of Ecclestone.
74. Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") has conducted audits of the employee source
deductions/payroll ("Payroll") for TDCI. Following the audit the CRA has advanced a claim for
unremitted payroll source amounts of $9,639.33. The Receiver believes that there is an HST
refund available as of the date of the Receivership.
-17-
75. The Town of Bracebridge Property Tax Arrears Notice dated July 6, 2015, reflects
outstanding property tax arrears of $107,377.24. It is anticipated that the arrears will be paid on
closing of the Sale Transaction. The Receiver has applied for a realty tax rebate from the Town
of Bracebridge due to vacancies in Ecclestone for the periods prior to and during the Receiver's
occupation.
Security Review and Mortgage Accounting
76. The Sale Agreement provides for the amendment/assumption of the existing mortgage
security of Eisen or the entering into of a new mortgage in favour of Eisen. There is some cash
consideration to paid on Closing of the Sale Transaction, however the bulk of the proceeds are,
in effect, being distributed to Eisen on closing. As noted, it is a condition of closing that the
Receiver receive a independent opinion or court declaration in respect of the Eisen Charges.
77. The Receiver has recently obtained a legal opinion on the validity, enforceability and
registered priority of the Eisen Charges. Cassels has opined, subject to the standard assumptions,
customary qualifications and limitations contained in its opinion, that the Eisen mortgages (i)
create a valid and enforceable charge on the real property of TDCI (Eisen 1st Mortgage
registered against the Ecclestone Property and the Development Lands, while the Eisen 2nd
Mortgage is registered against the Properties); (ii) has been properly registered against the real
property of TDCI as set out in the brackets to (i) above; and (iii) constitutes a legal and binding
obligation of TDCI, enforceable against TDCI in accordance with its terms.
78. In accordance with the July 10 Order, the Receiver has also undertaken an accounting of
the Eisen Charges. The Eisen Mortgage accounting is included as Schedule C to this Report.
Receiver's Receipts and Disbursements
79. The Receiver's Interim Statement of Receipts and Disbursements for the period February
27, 2015 to July 22, 2015 is attached hereto as Appendix "F'.
Professional Fees
80. The Receiver's fees and disbursements for services rendered for the period February 27,
2015 to July 20, 2015 are particularized in the affidavit of William Courage sworn July 22, 2015
(the "Receiver's Affidavit"). Receiver's fees for the period total $224,817.90. A copy of the
Receiver's Affidavit in support of approval of its accounts is attached hereto as Appendix "Q".
81. The fees and disbursements incurred by Cassels during the period February 27, 2015 to
June 30, 2015 are particularized in the affidavit of Jane O. Dietrich sworn July 23, 2015 (the
"Cassels Affidavit"). The total amount of the invoices for this period is $73,157.48 plus
applicable HST (the "Cassels Fees"). A copy of the Cassels Affidavit containing all Cassels
invoices is attached hereto as Appendix "R".
82. The Receiver has reviewed the invoices of Cassels and finds the work performed and
charges to be appropriate and reasonable.
Next Steps
83. As indicated, the Receiver's mandate extends to completing an accounting of "all funds
diverted or converted by Figueira and Tarback to their personal use. This [includes] a tracing of
those funds into any assets purchased or accounts controlled by them."
84. Due to limited resources, and an initial focus on stabilizing operations and realizing value
for the Properties, the Receiver has not as yet undertaken the Figueira/Tarback asset tracing
exercise. The Receiver is considering what resources may be available to do this and will pursue
this mandate as may be appropriate.
85. It is likely that some additional authorities will also be required in order to effectively
conduct an asset tracing. In this regard, the Receiver notes that the Receivership Order does not
specifically direct third party financial institutions to provide the Receiver with access to
Figueira and Tarback's personal account information.
Relief Requested
86. Based upon the foregoing the Receiver respectfully requests that this Honourable Court
issue an order for the relief outlined in paragraph 11 herein.
All of which is respectfully submitted this 24th day of July, 2015.

Schedule "A"
Issues Relating to Premiere Self Storage
1. The Receiver has considered whether or not it would be possible to "un-tangle" (in the
words of Justice Pattillo), from an historical account perspective, the TDCI business from that of
the applicant Premiere.
2. As is apparent from the analysis in the following paragraphs, which is preliminary, it
would appear impossible to accurately and cost-efficiently untangle these businesses. At most,
one could attempt an account historical reconciliation based on a set of assumptions. However,
the assumptions may themselves be a source of controversy as between Adshade and Figueira.
3. In the Applicants' materials in support of the motion to appoint the Receiver there are
two leases between TDCI and Premiere for 80,491 square feet and 6,816 square feet of space
respectively Aggregate net rental for the first year is $785,763. Rent increases in subsequent
years. Adshade advises that she was coerced to sign these leases by Figueira so that potential
purchasers and potential financing sources for the property would see high rental revenue.
4. The Applicants' materials also include a document entitled "Premiere Office Service
Agreement" between TDCI and Premiere. The agreement relates to offices for TDCI and
prescribe an annual gross rental payment of $57,600.
5. After discussing these agreements with Adshade and TDCI staff, the Receiver has
concluded that the financial terms of these agreements were simply ignored. Annual rents due to
TDCI from Premiere exceed annual revenue achieved by the entire building. While the space
purportedly leased to Premiere comprises the majority of the building, the core business of
Premiere, being lockers, could not possibly achieve this level of revenue.
6. The 2012 and 2013 financial statements of Premiere show rent paid, presumably to
TDCI, of $97,314 and $64,941 respectively. There is no evidence as to the basis for calculation
of rent, or the amount of space leased by Premiere.
7. The 2013 financial statements of Premiere indicate that the capital cost of the lockers is
$99,360 and that leasehold improvements associated with the premises total $73,029. Adshade
-21 -
and her counsel have asserted that it was the original intention for Premiere to run a business on
the TDCI premises. The business was to include the office rental business.
8. The Receiver has estimated that the lockers themselves, including the space surrounding
them, occupy 28,694 square feet. This does not include access space from outside or space for
supervisory personnel. Premiere has suggested that it would be willing to rent the locker space
for $5.00 per square foot net plus common costs not to exceed $1.10 per square foot. Based on
the 2014 financial statements for TDCI common costs appear to be approximately $1.80 per
square foot, not including wages and benefits.
9. A significant challenge in operating both the office rental business of TDCI and the
storage business of Premiere is that staff are required on the premises. The office rental business
requires reception and phone services. The rental business of Premiere requires someone to
control access to the storage lockers, find new renters and collect rents.
10. The Receiver agrees that, to the extent possible, an accounting ought to be completed
between the Receiver and Premiere in respect of the locker rentals, and between the Receiver and
BVHL in respect of the sign rentals.
11. To address the lockers, in terms of leased area the Receiver suggests that the area
occupied by the lockers plus 5% (to account for access space to the lockers) be the leased area
including space for employed staff, or 30,129 square feet.
12. The Receiver has identified direct costs for credit card payments and software to operate
the storage business and calculated "normal" costs associated with running the building, not
including extraordinary maintenance expenses, during the Receiver's period of control and
suggests apro-rata allocation of those expenses. While the staff time allocated to the storage
business during the Receiver's operation may be under-represented in this calculation, the
Receiver is of the view that staff have not been able to devote a customary amount of time to the
storage business due to the requirements of the Receiver in dealing with transition, maintenance,
tenant and receivership issues.
13. Attached as Appendix "S" is the Receiver's calculation regarding the entitlement of
Premiere. Based on these calculations Premiere owes TDCI $7,454.22 at present. The Receiver
has provided these calculations to Premiere.
-22-
14. The Receiver is also of the view that BVHL, as owner of the sign, should receive the
rents from that asset. Rents for use of the sign received by the Receiver since its appointment
total $1,350. The Receiver recommends that these funds be paid to BVHL.

Schedule "13"
Consideration of Solar Assets
1. The Receiver's activities in relation to the Solar Assets include:
• Arranging a meeting between Fovere, the Receiver and Cassels to discuss the solar
contract;
• Obtaining copies of the Feed in Tariff ("FIT") program contract;
• Obtaining documents related to the original installation and financing of the Solar
Assets;
• Reviewing payments made pursuant to the installation;
• Reviewing agreements between Fovere Glenbarra Energy Fund I Ltd. (the owner of
the Solar array) and TDCI.
2. It appears that prior to the appointment of the Receiver Figueira negotiated a sale of the
Solar Assets to an arm's length third party, Ecclestone Drive Solar Inc. ("Ecclestone Solar").
This sale was approved by this Court on January 27, 2015 on the condition that the proceeds be
held in trust by counsel for TDCI. The sale was not completed. The Receiver was appointed
one month later.
3. The Receiver asked Eisen whether allon-Disturbance Agreement was available that
would allow the Receiver to revive a sale. Eisen advised that he would not execute a Non-
Disturbance Agreement without a substantial payment. Further the Receiver's understanding of
the proposed sale transaction was that no rent would be paid to TDCI by the new owner of the
Solar Assets. In the Receiver's view this detracted from the value of the Ecclestone Property.
4. In considering the potential sale of the Solar Assets to a third party the Receiver
considered that the most logical purchaser of the solar assets would be the purchaser of the
Ecclestone Property. The Receiver was advised that Fovere wished to sell the Solar Assets and
associated FIT contract. The Receiver was not able to obtain financing in the time available to
fund the purchase so that it could control the Solar Assets. As the Receiver was unable to
purchase the Solar Assets, Fovere has advised that it has negotiated a sale of the Solar Assets to
-24-
the Purchaser of the Properties. The sale of the Solar Assets is anticipated to close
contemporaneously with the closing of the Sale Transaction for which court-approval is being
sought by the Receiver.
5. The Receiver has been advised by Fovere's counsel that upon the closing of the Sale
Transaction and the closing of the Solar Assets to the Purchaser, payment of accrued rent in the
approximate amount of $14,000 will be paid to the Receiver in addition to a further $75,000
which represents the return of TDCI's deposit paid to Fovere.
6. Notwithstanding the intention to return the deposit to the Receiver, counsel for Fovere
has advised that they received a letter dated July 8, 2015 (the "July 8 Letter") from counsel for
Indial Services Inc. ("Indial") alleging that Indial is entitled to receive $200,000 in respect of
work done for TDCI in respect of the solar installation. Indial has also registered a $200,000
lien under the Repair and Storage Liens Act ("RSLA") against Fovere and Panasonic, the
supplier of the solar panels. A copy of the July 8 Letter is attached as Appendix "T".
7. Counsel for Fovere has advised that they have no obligation to Indial. Panasonic has
confirmed that they used Greenside Electric (a company related to Indial) during the installation
of the solar panels, but that all invoices were paid in full.
8. The Receiver has considered the basis for the Indial claim. As noted above, TDCI
entered into an agreement to sell the Solar Assets to Ecclestone Solar in January 2015. A
component of the transaction was a consulting agreement (the "Ecclestone Solar Agreement")
that provided for the payment of a "consulting fee" to TDCI of $514,415.38. A copy of the
Ecclestone Solar Agreement is attached as Appendix "U". Included in that consulting fee is a
sub-consulting fee payable to Indial. As noted, sale of the Solar Assets to Ecclestone Solar did
not proceed. Further Indial was not a party to the Ecclestone Solar Agreement. Based on the
information reviewed, the Receiver does not consider the Indial lien claim to have merit.

6. In November 2013, Eisen replaced the Second Eisen Mortgage with a mortgage in the

time of the deposit. The remaining funds were transferred to TDCI's checking account.

$122,250 was paid to Heel Strike Corporation, an entity controlled by Sheppard, in repayment of
