Common use of Security over Assets Clause in Contracts

Security over Assets. (1) To secure the performance of the Obligations and Other Secured Obligations, each Obligor organized in Canada or the United States or which has assets located in Canada and the United States must provide in favour of the Agent and the Lenders security over all of its material personal and real property, tangible and intangible, present and future, provided that, subject to the following sentence, such security shall only be required to be created and perfected under the laws in effect in Canada and the United States. The Equity Interest of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in Material Subsidiaries must also be pledged to the Agent and the Lenders. The Borrower must ensure, to the extent permitted by law, that such Equity Interests are evidenced by certificates and must deliver to the Agent all such certificates (along with stock powers duly executed in blank). The Borrower shall not be required to deliver or cause the delivery of security by a Material Subsidiary or a pledge of the Equity Interests of a Material Subsidiary if doing so is prohibited by or exceeds the amount permitted by Applicable Law (in which case the security of such Material Subsidiary will be limited to such maximum amount) or if the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, determines that the cost of obtaining such security or pledge is excessive in relation to the value of the security or pledge to the Lenders. The Agent confirms that, in accordance with the foregoing, the Agent has determined that no pledge shall be required in respect of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary incorporated under the laws of Burkina Faso.
