To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party as a member or a shareholder, as applicable, of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and shall be ineffective with respect to ULC Shares which are Pledged Collateral of any Granting Party, without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged Collateral of any Granting Party which is not ULC Shares. Except upon the exercise of rights of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with this Agreement, each Granting Party shall not cause or permit, or enable an Issuer that is a ULC to cause or permit, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to: (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such Issuer; (b) have any notation entered in their favor in the share register of such Issuer; (c) be held out as shareholders or members of such Issuer; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such Issuer by reason of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent holding the Security Interests over the ULC Shares; or (e) act as a shareholder of such Issuer, or exercise any rights of a shareholder including the right to attend a meeting of shareholders of such Issuer or to vote its ULC Shares;

(d) each Granting Party acknowledges that certain of the Pledged Collateral of such Granting Party may now or in the future consist of ULC Shares, and that it is the intention of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and each Granting Party that neither the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party should under any circumstances prior to realization be held to be a “member” or “shareholder”, as applicable, of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws. Therefore, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, where a Granting Party is the registered and beneficial owner of ULC Shares which are Pledged Collateral of such Granting Party, such Granting Party will remain the sole registered and beneficial owner of such ULC Shares until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person on the books and records of the applicable ULC. Accordingly, each Granting Party shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend or other distribution, if any, in respect of such ULC Shares (except for any dividend or distribution comprised of share certificates representing Pledged Collateral, which shall be delivered to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral hereunder) and shall have the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the applicable ULC to the same extent as such Granting Party would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent pursuant hereto.

To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party as a member or a shareholder, as applicable, of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and shall be ineffective with respect to ULC Shares which are Pledged Collateral of any Granting Party, without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged Collateral of any Granting Party which is not ULC Shares. Except upon the exercise of rights of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with this Agreement, each Granting Party shall not cause or permit, or enable an Issuer that is a ULC to cause or permit, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to: (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such Issuer; (b) have any notation entered in their favor in the share register of such Issuer; (c) be held out as shareholders or members of such Issuer; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such Issuer by reason of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent holding the Security Interests over the ULC Shares; or (e) act as a shareholder of such Issuer, or exercise any rights of a shareholder including the right to attend a meeting of shareholders of such Issuer or to vote its ULC Shares;
