(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).
(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.
(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Secured Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and the Commitments shall have been terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may be free from any Borrower Credit Agreement Obligations; provided, that any Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee contained in this Section 2 as provided in Section 8.15.

guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment, remain liable for the Secured Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and the Commitments shall have been terminated; provided, that any Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee contained in this Section 2 as provided in Section 8.15.
2.2 Right of Contribution

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3.

If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights at any time when all of such Secured Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Pari Passu Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Pari Passu Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

6
LEGAL_US_E # 147951469.7
Secured Obligations continued, and the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in each case any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Applicable Required Lenders, or all Lenders, or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of set-off at any time held by the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional
. Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, with respect to the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, that the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collectability without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (other than a defense of payment or performance) (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower from the Borrower Credit Agreement Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from
7
LEGAL_US_E # 147951469.7
the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
2.6 Reinstatement
. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
2.7 Payments
. (a) Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office, in each case without set-off or counterclaim.
(b) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be.

Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any remedies provided in this Section 6.7 shall be subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.
6.8 Sale of Pledged Stock
.
(a) Subject in all respects to Section 10.14 of the Credit Agreement, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of any Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 6.7, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Pledged Stock: (i) any registration
20
LEGAL_US_E # 147951469.7
statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments thereto; and (ii) any other information in its possession relating to such Pledged Stock to the extent reasonably necessary to be disclosed in connection with such sale of Pledged Stock, in each case provided that the Pari Passu Collateral Agent uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such information is kept confidential in connection with such sale of Pledged Stock and the recipient is informed of the confidential nature of the information.
(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Pari Passu Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
6.9 Deficiency
. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Pari Passu Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7. THE PARI PASSU COLLATERAL AGENT
7.1 Pari Passu Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, in accordance with the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Pari Passu Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following (provided that anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing):
(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise
21
LEGAL_US_E # 147951469.7
deemed appropriate by the Pari Passu Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor in its own name, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Pari Passu Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.7 or 6.8, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or as the Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Pari Passu Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; (7) subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark of such Grantor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall in its reasonable discretion determine at the direction of the Applicable Required Lenders; and (8) subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Pari Passu Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Pari Passu Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s reasonable expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Pari Passu Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Applicable Required Lenders, may give such Grantor written notice of such failure to perform or comply and if such Grantor fails to perform or comply within five (5) Business Days of receiving such notice (or if the Pari Passu Collateral Agent reasonably determines that irreparable harm to the Collateral or to the security interest of the Pari Passu
22
LEGAL_US_E # 147951469.7
Collateral Agent hereunder could result prior to the end of such five-Business Day period), then the Pari Passu Collateral Agent may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
(d) The actions of the Pari Passu Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including the rights, protections, privileges, benefits, indemnities and immunities, which are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof. The Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Pari Passu Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Pari Passu Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Pari Passu Collateral Agent by a successor Pari Passu Collateral Agent, that permitted successor Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Pari Passu Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement from and after the exact time of such discharge. After any retiring Pari Passu Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Pari Passu Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and unless otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreements, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to any Collateral or any occasion requiring or permitting an approval, consent, discretion, waiver, election or other action on the part of the Pari Passu Collateral Agent only on the written instructions and at the written direction of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations then outstanding; provided that the Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Pari Passu Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to the Loan Documents or applicable laws.
7.2 Duty of Pari Passu Collateral Agent
. To the extent permitted by law, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Pari Passu Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Pari Passu Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Pari Passu Collateral Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have responsibility for, without limitation, (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral. None of the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or
23
LEGAL_US_E # 147951469.7
any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Security Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct or that of their directors, officers, employees or agents.
7.3 Execution of Financing Statements
. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Pari Passu Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments or Intellectual Property filings with respect to the Collateral (including fixture filings with respect to any Fixtures related to Material Real Property, if any, and amendments) without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Pari Passu Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Pari Passu Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Pari Passu Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property”, “all assets” or any similar phrase in any such financing statements. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information as the Pari Passu Collateral Agent may reasonably request necessary to enable the Pari Passu Collateral Agent to make any such filings promptly following any such request. Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the preparation, filing, recording, registration or maintenance of any financing statements or any instruments, agreements or other documents, all of which shall be the obligation of Borrower.
7.4 Authority of Pari Passu Collateral Agent
. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Pari Passu Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Pari Passu Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as among the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for itself, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party may have.
