Section 2.01. Pledge

As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Secured Obligations, including pursuant to the Guaranty, each Grantor hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under (i) all Equity Interests held by it and listed on Schedule I and any other Equity Interests obtained in the future by such Grantor and, to the extent certificated, the certificates representing all such Equity Interests and including, without limitation all certificated securities, uncertificated securities, securities accounts, security entitlements and financial assets (the “Pledged Equity”); provided that the Pledged Equity shall not include any Excluded Security; (ii) the debt securities owned by it and listed opposite the name of such Grantor on Schedule I, any debt securities obtained in the future by such Grantor and the promissory notes and any other instruments evidencing any debt (the “Pledged Debt”); provided that the Pledged Debt shall not include any Excluded Security; (iii) subject to Section 2.05, all payments of principal or interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of, and all other Proceeds received in respect of, the Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt; (iv) subject to Section 2.05, all rights and privileges of such Grantor with respect to the securities and other property referred to in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) above; and (v) all Proceeds of any of the foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (i) through (v) above being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”); provided however, that in no event shall Pledged Collateral include any investment property that is a financial asset with respect to which a Grantor is treated as having a security entitlement, such investment property being “Article 3 Collateral” pursuant to Article 3.

- 11 -

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Pledged Collateral, together with all right, title, interest, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, unto the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, forever, subject, however, to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

(a) Unless and until, except in the case of ULC Shares where no suspension may occur, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have provided not less than 10 days prior notice to the Parent Borrower that the rights of the Grantors under this Section 2.05 are being suspended:

- 15 -

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner, except as may be permitted under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, that would materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of any of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to each Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as each Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.

(iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Laws; provided that any non-cash (and non-cash equivalent) dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). So long as no Event of Default has occurred that is continuing, if requested by the applicable Grantor the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to such Grantor any Pledged Securities in the

- 16 -

Administrative Agent’s possession owned by such Grantor in connection with any exchange, redemption or disposition of such Pledged Securities; provided that the Parent Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower certifying that such exchange, redemption or disposition is permitted under the Credit Agreement.

Nothing in this Section 2.05(a) shall be read as providing the Administrative Agent or any person other than the Grantor any voting or similar rights in ULC Shares or rights against the issuer of such ULC Shares prior to the transfer of those shares to the Administrative Agent or other person and the restrictions on ULC Shares hereunder are solely as a matter of contract between the applicable Grantor and the Administrative Agent.

(b) This Section 2.05(b) shall not apply to ULC Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Administrative Agent shall have provided the Parent Borrower with not less than 10 days’ prior notice of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05, then all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.05 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in an account to be established by the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 hereof. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05 that remain in such account.

(c) This Section 2.05(c) shall not apply to ULC Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Administrative Agent shall have provided the Parent Borrower with not less than 10 days’ prior notice of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under

- 17 -

paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.05, then all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.05, and the obligations of the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.05, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights at the discretion of the Administrative Agent. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.05.

(d) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower suspending the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.05 (i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

- 23 -

Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(f) If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim with a value in its reasonable opinion of greater than $5,000,000 and for which such Grantor (or predecessor in interest) has filed a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction, such Grantor shall, within 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter within which such complaint was filed, notify the Administrative Agent in writing signed by such Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Administrative Agent a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent

(g) Intellectual Property Covenants

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement and except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the Parent Borrower in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, to the extent it has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the CIPO, the USPTO and the USCO and any other governmental authority located in Canada or the United States, to pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor.

ARTICLE 4

REMEDIES

Section 4.01. Remedies Upon Default

Subject to Section 6.25 hereof in the case of ULC Shares, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to (and, at any time other than during an Equal and Ratable Period, shall at the direction of the requisite number or

- 25 -

percentage of Secured Parties as specified in any Secured Agreement) exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations under the PPSA or other applicable law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) declare the entire right, title, and interest of such Grantor in each of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights vested in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in which event such right, title, and interest shall immediately vest in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to below in Section 4.03 hereof to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and to record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency); (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors not less than 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in

- 26 -

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 such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default may have been remedied and the Secured Obligations may have been paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to commercially reasonable standards.

Section 4.02. Application Of Proceeds

(a) The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral of a Grantor, including any Collateral consisting of cash, as provided in Section 4.02(a) of the US Security Agreement.

(b) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(c) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon information from its (i) own records, or the records of the agent under any Replacement Credit Facility, as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Credit Facilities Obligations, (ii) the applicable Secured Notes Trustee for information as to the Other Secured Obligations, (iii) any Secured Party (or any trustee, agent or similar representatives designated by them in writing) for information as to its Secured Obligations and actions taken by it, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not obtained such information from the foregoing sources and (iv) the Parent Borrower, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not obtained information from the foregoing sources. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it.

Section 4.03. Grant Of License To Use Intellectual Property; Power Of Attorney

For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor shall, upon not less than 10 days’ prior written request by

- 28 -

the Administrative Agent at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, grant to the Administrative Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the Administrative Agent to use, license or sublicense such Intellectual Property shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events of Default, and nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default. Furthermore, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an absolute power of attorney to sign, upon providing the Parent Borrower with not less than 10 days’ prior written notice after the continuance of any Event of Default, any document which may be required by the USPTO or the USCO or the CIPO in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each registration and application for a Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and to record the same.

ARTICLE 5

INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION

Section 5.01. Contribution And Subrogation.

Each Grantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 5.02) that, in the event assets of any other Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall be sold pursuant to any Collateral Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall

- 29 -

be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date hereof. Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment.

Section 5.02. Subordination.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors under Section 5.01 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations. No failure on the part of any Grantor to make the payments required by Section 5.01 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

ARTICLE 6

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 6.01. Notices

All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Parent Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.02. Waivers; Amendment

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

- 30 -

making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required (i) during an Equal and Ratable Period, in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement (or equivalent provision of any Replacement Credit Facility) and (ii) during any period other than an Equal and Ratable Period, in accordance with the Other Secured Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Secured Party, waive, amend or modify any provision hereof or of any other Collateral Document (including by entering into new or supplemental agreements) to (i) cure any ambiguity or defect herein or in any other Collateral Document, (ii) make technical, conforming and other changes necessary to reflect the termination in accordance with the Credit Agreement or Replacement Credit Facility of the Liens securing the Credit Facilities Obligations and to give effect to the applicable collateral requirements of the Other Secured Agreements, (iii) upon the consummation of any Replacement Credit Facility, give effect to the applicable collateral requirements of such Replacement Credit Facility or any other amendment required by such Replacement Credit Facility, to the extent consistent with the Other Secured Agreements and (iv) reflect the issuance of any Additional Secured Debt Obligations that are secured on a junior basis to the Secured Obligations, as permitted by the Credit Agreement or any Replacement Credit Facility, as applicable. The Secured Parties, by accepting the benefits hereof, shall be deemed to have consented to any amendment, waiver or modification in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 6.03. Administrative Agent’s Fee, Expenses and Indemnity

(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder and to indemnification as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Secured Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,

- 31 -

the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Secured Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.

Section 6.04. Successors And Assigns

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under (i) Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement (or equivalent provision of any Replacement Credit Facility) with respect to the Credit Facilities Obligations, or (ii) the applicable Other Secured Agreement with respect to the Other Secured Obligations.

Section 6.05. Survival Of Agreement

All representations and warranties made hereunder or other document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Secured Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

Section 6.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness, Successors And Assigns; Several Agreement

This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Administrative Agent and their respective

- 32 -

successors and assigns permitted thereby, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

Section 6.07. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.08. Right Of Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates shall have the rights specified in Section 10.09 of the Credit Agreement (in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Persons may have).

Section 6.09. Governing Law and Attornment

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein. For the purpose of all legal proceedings this Agreement will be deemed to have been performed in the Province of Ontario and the courts of the Province of Ontario will have non-exclusive jurisdiction to entertain any action arising under this Agreement.

Section 6.12. Security Interest Absolute

(a) All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other Secured Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other Secured Agreement or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

(b) Each Grantor acknowledges that the security interests herein created attach upon the execution of this Agreement (except to the extent specifically stated herein to the contrary), that value has been given by the Secured Parties and that Grantor has, or in the case of after-acquired property will have, rights in the Pledged Collateral or the power to transfer rights in the Pledged Collateral to the Secured Parties.

Section 6.13. Termination Or Release

(a) The Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate with respect to all Credit Facilities Obligations and any Liens arising therefrom that secure the Credit Facilities Obligations shall be automatically released upon the termination of each Equal and Ratable Period.

(b) This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate with respect to any Other Secured Obligations and any Liens arising therefrom that secure such Other Secured Obligations shall be automatically released when the outstanding amount of such Other Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been paid in full or defeased or discharged in accordance with their terms.

(c) A Grantor shall automatically be released from (i) during an Equal and Ratable Period, its obligations hereunder as provided in Section 9.11 (excluding Section 9.11(a)(i) of, or otherwise in accordance with, the Credit Agreement) or equivalent provision of, or otherwise in accordance with, any Replacement Credit Facility; provided that the Credit Facility Lenders shall have consented to such transaction to the extent required by the Credit Agreement (or Replacement Credit Facility) and (ii) its obligations hereunder with respect to any Other Secured Obligations as provided by the terms of the applicable Other Secured Agreement; provided that any consents required by the terms of the Other Secured Agreement shall have been obtained.

During an Equal and Ratable Period, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement or equivalent provision of any Replacement Credit Facility, such security interest in such Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof) shall be automatically released with respect to all Secured Obligations. Upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to any Other Secured Agreement, such security interest in such collateral shall be released solely respect to the applicable Other Secured Obligations.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement, each Cash Management Bank and each Hedge Bank hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the obligations of the Loan Parties or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries under any Secured Hedge Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations shall be secured pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and (ii) any release of Collateral effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.

Section 6.14. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-fact

Each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable (until termination of the Security Interest and all other security interests with respect to all of the Secured Obligations) and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, cheques, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings

- 36 -

relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Administrative Agent; (h) to make, settle and adjust claims in respect of Article 3 Collateral under policies of insurance, including endorsing the name of any Grantor on any cheque, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement or paying any premium in whole or in part relating thereto; and (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor 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 any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact.

The Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on the advice of (i) with respect to the Other Secured Agreement, the applicable Secured Notes Trustees and (ii) with respect to any Replacement Credit Agreement, the applicable agent or trustee thereunder, in determining whether any direction, consent, request, approval, advice or concurrence has been received from the Required Secured Parties (or such other number or percentage of Secured Parties as shall be required hereunder or pursuant to the applicable Secured Agreement in the circumstances).

With respect to its Secured Obligations, each Agent Related Person shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement or under any Secured Agreement as any other Secured Party and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent-Related Person.

The Administrative Agent may resign as the collateral agent hereunder (i) during an Equal and Ratable Period, as provided in Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement (or the corresponding provisions of any Replacement Credit Facility) and (ii) at any time other than during an Equal and Ratable Period, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Secured Notes Trustee and the Parent Borrower and in which case the remainder of this Section 6.23 shall apply. If the Administrative Agent resigns pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Required Secured Parties (or such greater number of Secured Parties as shall be required pursuant to the Secured Agreements) shall appoint a successor agent for the Secured Parties, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Parent Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Secured Notes Trustee, a successor agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent and/or supplemental collateral agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of Sections 6.03 and 6.14 through 6.21 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor collateral agent has accepted appointment as the

- 41 -

Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Secured Parties shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as a successor agent is appointed as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices as may be necessary, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, the new Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 6.23.

Section 6.24. Appointment Of Supplemental Administrative Agents

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents or Secured Agreements, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Collateral Documents or Secured Agreements, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Collateral Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise

- 42 -

such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Collateral Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article 6 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Parent Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

Section 6.25. ULC Shares

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto, the Grantor of any security interest in ULC Shares is the sole registered and beneficial owner of all Pledged Collateral which is ULC Shares and will remain so until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the Administrative Agent or any other person on the books and records of the issuer of such ULC Shares. Accordingly, such Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends, property or other distributions, if any, in respect of such ULC Shares (except insofar as the Grantor has granted a security interest in such dividends, property or other distributions, and any shares shall be delivered to the Administrative 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 issuer of such ULC Shares to the same extent as the Grantor would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto. Nothing in this Agreement or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto is intended to, and nothing in this Agreement or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto shall constitute Agent or any Secured Party, or any person other than the Grantor a shareholder or member of an unlimited company for the

- 43 -

purposes of the Companies Act (Nova Scotia) until such time as notice is given to the Grantor and further steps are taken thereunder so as to register Agent, or any other person as holder of Pledged Collateral which are ULC Shares. To the extent any provision hereof or of any other document would have the effect of constituting the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party, or any other person as a shareholder or member of an unlimited company for the purposes of the Companies Act (Nova Scotia) prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom or therefrom and ineffective with respect to the Pledged Collateral which is ULC Shares without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or such other agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged Collateral which is not ULC Shares. Except upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Pledged Collateral which is ULC Shares following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Grantor shall cause or permit, or enable any unlimited company in which it holds ULC Shares to cause or permit, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to: (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such unlimited company; (b) have any notation entered in its favour in the share register of such unlimited company; (c) be held out as a shareholder or member of such unlimited company; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such unlimited company by reason of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party holding a security interest in such unlimited company; or (e) act as a shareholder or member of such unlimited company, or exercise any rights of a shareholder or member including the right to attend a meeting of, or to vote the shares of, such unlimited company.
