of Remedies.
The
remedies under Section 3.2
and
Section 3.3
may be
exercised from time to time separately or in combination and are in addition
to,
and not in substitution for, any other rights of the Canadian Agent and the
Secured Parties however arising or created. The Canadian Agent and the Secured

rights and remedies is without prejudice to the rights of the Canadian Agent
and
the Secured Parties in respect of the Secured Obligations including the right
to
claim for any deficiency.
Section 3.5 Receiver's
Powers.
(1) |
Any
receiver appointed by the Canadian Agent is vested with the rights
and
remedies which could have been exercised by the Canadian Agent in
respect
of the Grantor or the Collateral and such other powers and discretions
as
are granted in the instrument of appointment and any supplemental
instruments. The identity of the receiver, its replacement and its
remuneration are within the sole and unfettered discretion of the
Canadian
Agent.
|
(2) |
Any
receiver appointed by the Canadian Agent will act as agent for the
Canadian Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral,
but otherwise and for all other purposes (except as provided below),
as
agent for the Grantor. The receiver may sell, lease, or otherwise
dispose
of Collateral as agent for the Grantor or as agent for the Canadian
Agent
as the Canadian Agent may determine in its discretion. The Grantor
agrees
to ratify and confirm all actions of the receiver acting as agent
for the
Grantor, and to release and indemnify the receiver in respect of
all such
actions save and except for any wilful misconduct or gross negligence
of
such receiver.
|

The
Canadian Agent, in appointing or refraining from appointing any receiver,
does not incur liability to the receiver, the Grantor or otherwise

Section 3.6 Appointment
of Attorney.
The
Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Canadian Agent (and
any
officer of the Canadian Agent) the true and lawful attorney of the Grantor.
As
the attorney of the Grantor, the Canadian Agent has the power to exercise for
and in the name of the Grantor with full power of substitution, upon
the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
any of
the Grantor's right (including the right of disposal), title and interest in
and
to the Collateral including the execution, endorsement, delivery and transfer
of
the Collateral to the Canadian Agent, its nominees or transferees, and the
Canadian Agent and its nominees or transferees are hereby empowered to exercise
all rights and powers and to perform all acts of ownership with respect to
the
Collateral to the same extent as the Grantor might do. All acts of the attorney
are ratified and approved, and the attorney is not liable for any act, failure
to act or any other matter or thing, except for its own gross negligence or
wilful misconduct. This power of attorney is irrevocable, is coupled with an
interest, has been given for valuable consideration (the receipt and adequacy
of
which is acknowledged) and survives, and does not terminate upon, the
bankruptcy, dissolution, winding up or insolvency of the Grantor. This power
of
attorney extends to and is binding upon the Grantor’s successors and permitted
assigns. The
Grantor authorizes the Canadian Agent to delegate in writing to another person
any power and authority of the Canadian Agent under this power of attorney
as
may be necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Canadian Agent, and to
revoke or suspend such delegation.

the Canadian Agent may consider
desirable.
|
(2) |

of the
Canadian Agent and the Secured Parties in respect of the
Collateral.

by any
governmental or regulatory authority or
official;

any
rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
adopted.
