(d) each U.S. Pledgor acknowledges that certain of the Pledged Collateral of such U.S. Pledgor may now or in the future consist of ULC Shares, and that it is the intention of the ABL Collateral Agent and each U.S. Pledgor that neither the 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 U.S. Pledgor is the registered and beneficial owner of ULC Shares which are Pledged Collateral of such U.S. Pledgor, such U.S. Pledgor 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 ABL Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person on the books and records of the applicable ULC. Accordingly, each U.S. Pledgor 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 Collateral Representative 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 U.S. Pledgor would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the ABL Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is intended to, and nothing in this Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, constitute the ABL Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person other than the applicable U.S. Pledgor, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws (whether listed or unlisted, registered or beneficial), until such time as notice is given to such U.S. Pledgor and further steps are taken pursuant hereto or thereto so as to register the ABL Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or such other Person, as specified in such notice, as the holder of the ULC Shares. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the 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 U.S. Pledgor, without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged Collateral of any U.S. Pledgor which is not ULC Shares. Except upon the exercise of rights of the ABL Collateral Agent to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with this Agreement, each U.S. Pledgor shall not cause or permit, or enable an Issuer that is a ULC to cause or permit, the 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 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;

(j) assets to the extent the granting or perfecting of a security interest in such assets would result in costs or other consequences to Holding or any of its Subsidiaries as reasonably determined in writing by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and, to the extent such assets would otherwise constitute ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent, that are excessive in view of the benefits that would be obtained by the Secured Parties;

(d) each U.S. Pledgor acknowledges that certain of the Pledged Collateral of such U.S. Pledgor may now or in the future consist of ULC Shares, and that it is the intention of the ABL Collateral Agent and each U.S. Pledgor that neither the 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 U.S. Pledgor is the registered and beneficial owner of ULC Shares which are Pledged Collateral of such U.S. Pledgor, such U.S. Pledgor 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 ABL Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person on the books and records of the applicable ULC. Accordingly, each U.S. Pledgor 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 Collateral Representative 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 U.S. Pledgor would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the ABL Collateral Agent pursuant hereto.

To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the 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 U.S. Pledgor, without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged Collateral of any U.S. Pledgor which is not ULC Shares. Except upon the exercise of rights of the ABL Collateral Agent to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with this Agreement, each U.S. Pledgor shall not cause or permit, or enable an Issuer that is a ULC to cause or permit, the 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 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;

(j) assets to the extent the granting or perfecting of a security interest in such assets would result in costs or other consequences to Holding or any of its Subsidiaries as reasonably determined in writing by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and, to the extent such assets would otherwise constitute ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent, that are excessive in view of the benefits that would be obtained by the Secured Parties;

To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the 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 Canadian Pledgor, without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged Collateral of any Canadian Pledgor which is not ULC Shares. Except upon the exercise of rights of the ABL Collateral Agent to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with this Agreement, each Canadian Pledgor shall not cause or permit, or enable an Issuer that is a ULC to cause or permit, the 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 favour 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 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;

(j) those assets over which the granting of security interests in such assets would be prohibited by contract permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement, applicable law or regulation or the organizational or joint venture documents of any non-wholly owned Subsidiary (after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the PPSA, or any other applicable law or principles of equity as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction), or to the extent that such security interests would result in material adverse tax consequences to the Parent Borrower or any one or more of its Subsidiaries as reasonably determined in writing by the Parent Borrower and consented to in writing by the ABL Collateral Agent (it being understood that the Lenders shall not require the Canadian Borrower or any of its subsidiaries to enter into any security agreements or pledge agreements governed by foreign law);
(k) Foreign Intellectual Property; and
