of the Secured Parties only as provided in subsection 5.5, and (ii) until so
turned over, shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Canadian Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of the Grantor.
All Proceeds constituting collections or other cash proceeds of Accounts
Receivable constituting Collateral while held by the Canadian Collateral Account
Bank (or by the Grantor in trust for the benefit of the Canadian Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security
for all of the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until
applied as hereinafter provided. At any time when an Event of Default specified
in subsection 9(a) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, at
the Canadian Collateral Agent's election, each of the Canadian Administrative
Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of the funds
on deposit in the Canadian Collateral Proceeds Account established by the
Grantor to the payment of the Obligations of the Grantor then due and owing,
such application to be made as set forth in subsection 5.5 hereof. So long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the funds on deposit in the
Canadian Collateral Proceeds Account shall be remitted as provided in subsection
5.1(d) hereof.
(c) At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the
Credit Agreement, at the Canadian Collateral Agent's request, the Grantor shall
deliver to the Canadian Collateral Agent copies or, if required by the Canadian
Administrative Agent for the enforcement thereof or
-22-
foreclosure thereon, originals of all documents held by the Grantor evidencing,
and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the
Grantor's Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, including, without
limitation, all statements relating to the Grantor's Accounts Receivable
constituting Collateral and all orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
(d) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Canadian Collateral Agent shall instruct the Canadian Collateral Account Bank to
promptly remit any funds on deposit in the Grantor's Canadian Collateral
Proceeds Account to the Grantor's General Fund Account. In the event that an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Canadian Collateral Agent
and the Grantors agree that the Canadian Collateral Agent, at its option, may
require that each Collateral Proceeds Account and the General Fund Account of
the Grantor be established at the Canadian Collateral Agent. The Grantor shall
have the right, at any time and from time to time, to withdraw such of its funds
from its General Fund Account, and to maintain such balances in its General Fund
Account, as it shall deem to be necessary or desirable.
5.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.
(a) The Canadian Collateral Agent, in its own name or in the name of
others, may at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the
Credit Agreement, communicate with obligors under the Accounts Receivable
constituting Collateral and parties to the Contracts (in each case, to the
extent constituting Collateral) to verify with them to the Canadian Collateral
Agent's satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts Receivable
constituting Collateral or Contracts.
(b) Upon the request of the Canadian Collateral Agent at any time
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified
in subsection 9(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Grantor shall notify obligors on
the Grantor's Accounts Receivable and parties to the Grantor's Contracts (in
each case, to the extent constituting Collateral) that such Accounts Receivable
and such Contracts have been assigned to the Canadian Collateral Agent, for the
rateable benefit of the Secured Parties, and that payments in respect thereof
shall be made directly to the Canadian Collateral Agent.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Grantor shall
remain liable under each of its Accounts Receivable to observe and perform all
the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder,
all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. None of
the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account
Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of
this Agreement or the receipt by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Canadian Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of
the obligations of the Grantor under or pursuant to any Account Receivable (or
any agreement giving rise thereto) to make any payment, to make any inquiry as
to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the
sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any
claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment
of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled
at any time or times.

5.3 Pledged Stock.
(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the Grantor of the
Canadian Collateral Agent's intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant
to subsection 5.3(b), the Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash
dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Stock (subject to the
last two sentences of subsection 4.17 of this Agreement) and all payments made
in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Credit
Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the
Pledged Stock; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate right
exercised or such other action taken (other than in connection with a
transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement) which, in the Canadian
Collateral Agent's reasonable judgment, would materially impair the Pledged
Stock or the related rights or remedies of the Secured Parties or which would be
inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit
Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the
Canadian Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such
rights to the Grantor, (i) the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right to
receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect
of the Pledged Stock and make application thereof to the Obligations of the
Grantor in such order as is provided in subsection 5.5, and (ii) any or all of
the Pledged Stock shall be registered in the name of the Canadian Collateral
Agent or its nominee, and the Canadian Collateral Agent or its nominee may
thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to
such Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or
Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange,
subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such
Pledged Stock as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without
limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged
Stock upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the
exercise by the Grantor or the Canadian Collateral Agent of any right, privilege
or option pertaining to such Pledged Stock, and in connection therewith, the
right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock with any
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon
such terms and conditions as the Canadian Collateral Agent may reasonably
determine), all without liability (other than for its gross negligence or wilful
misconduct) except to account for property actually received by it, but the
Canadian Collateral Agent shall have no duty to the Grantor to exercise any such
right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so
or delay in so doing, provided that the Canadian Collateral Agent shall not
exercise any voting or other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock
in any way that would constitute an exercise of the remedies described in
subsection 5.6 other than in accordance with subsection 5.6.
(c) The Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer or maker
of any Pledged Securities pledged by the Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with
any instruction received by it from the Canadian Collateral Agent in writing
that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y)
is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other
or further instructions from the Grantor, and the Grantor agrees that each
-24-
Issuer or maker shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless
otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with
respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Canadian Collateral Agent.
5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Canadian Collateral Agent.
In addition to the rights of the Canadian Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties specified in subsection 5.1 with respect to payments of
Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, if an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have instructed the
Grantor to do so, all Proceeds received by the Grantor consisting of cash,
cheques and other Cash Equivalent items shall be held by the Grantor in trust
for the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereto, or as
applicable, segregated from other funds of the Grantor, and shall, forthwith
upon receipt by the Grantor, be turned over to the Canadian Collateral Agent (or
its agents appointed for purposes of perfection) in the exact form received by
the Grantor (duly endorsed by the Grantor to the Canadian Collateral Agent if
required). All Proceeds received by the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder
shall be held by the Canadian Collateral Agent in the relevant Canadian
Collateral Proceeds Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All
Proceeds while held by the Canadian Collateral Agent in such Canadian Collateral
Proceeds Account (or by the Grantor in trust for the Canadian Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security
for all the Obligations of the Grantor and shall not constitute payment thereof
until applied as provided in subsection 5.5.
5.5 Application of Proceeds.
5.5.1 It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, any and all Proceeds of the Collateral received by the Canadian
Collateral Agent (whether from the Grantor or otherwise) shall be held by the
Canadian Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral
security for the Obligations of the Grantor (whether matured or unmatured),
and/or then or at any time thereafter may, in the sole discretion of the
Canadian Collateral Agent, be applied by the Canadian Collateral Agent against
the Obligations of the Grantor then due and owing as follows:
(a) first, to the payment of all amounts owing the Canadian Collateral
Agent for (i) any amounts advanced by the Canadian Collateral Agent in order to
preserve the Collateral or preserve its security interest in the Collateral,
(ii) in the event of the enforcement of any indebtedness, obligations, or
liabilities of the Grantor, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or
lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, or of
any exercise by the Canadian Collateral Agent of its rights hereunder, together
with reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs and (iii) all amounts paid to
which the Canadian Collateral Agent has the right to reimbursement under
subsection 8.5;
(b) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application
pursuant to the preceding clause (a), to the payment of all amounts owing to any
Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents in its capacity as such;
-25-
(c) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application
pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) and (b), an amount equal to the
outstanding Primary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Parties as provided
in subsection 5.5.2 hereof, with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to
its outstanding Primary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay
in full all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining
to be distributed;
(d) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application
pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) through (c), an amount equal to the
outstanding Secondary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Parties as
provided in subsection 5.5.2 hereof, with each Secured Party receiving an amount
equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations or, if the proceeds are
insufficient to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share
of the amount remaining to be distributed;
(e) fifth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application
pursuant to preceding clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, ratably to any then
remaining unpaid Obligations; and
(f) sixth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application
pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) through (e), inclusive, and following the
termination of this Agreement, to the Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully
entitled to receive such surplus.
5.5.2 For purposes of this Agreement, (i) "Pro Rata Share" shall mean,
when calculating a Secured Party's portion of any distribution or amount, that
amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is
the then unpaid amount of such Secured Party's Primary Obligations or Secondary
Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then
outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the
case may be, (ii) "Primary Obligations" shall mean (x) in the case of the Loan
Document Obligations, all unpaid principal (or, face amount or Stated Amount, as
applicable) of, premium, if any, fees and interest on, all Loans, all
Reimbursement Obligations, the Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses due
and owing pursuant to the Credit Agreement and (y) in the case of the Other
Obligations, all amounts due under each Interest Rate Protection Agreement or
Permitted Hedging Arrangement with an Other Creditor (other than indemnities,
fees (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) and similar obligations
and liabilities), and (iii) "Secondary Obligations" shall mean all Obligations
other than Primary Obligations.
5.5.3 Each of the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits
hereof and of the other Security Documents, agrees and acknowledges that if the
Lender Creditors receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with
respect to Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement (which shall only
occur after all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations constituting Primary
Obligations have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the Canadian
Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal
and ratable benefit of the respective Lender Creditors, as cash security for the
repayment of Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors as such. If any amounts
are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then
upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Credit
Agreement constituting Primary Obligations and after the application of all such
cash security to the repayment of all Obligations owing to the respective Lender
Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit,
if there
-26-
remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Canadian
Administrative Agent to the Canadian Collateral Agent for distribution in
accordance with subsection 5.5.1 hereof.
5.5.4 All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if
to the Lender Creditors, to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lender Creditors and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to the trustee, paying
agent or other similar representative (each, a "Representative") for the Other
Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the Other
Creditors.
5.5.5 For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with
this subsection 5.5.5, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon (i) the Administrative Agents and (ii) the Representative or, in the
absence of such a Representative, upon the Other Creditors for a determination
(which the Administrative Agents, each Representative and the Other Creditors
agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Canadian Collateral Agent)
of the outstanding Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the
Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has
received written notice from a Lender Creditor or an Other Creditor to the
contrary, the Administrative Agents and each Representative, in furnishing
information pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Canadian Collateral
Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary
Obligations are outstanding. Unless it has written notice from an Other Creditor
to the contrary, the Canadian Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be
entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Permitted
Hedging Arrangements with an Other Creditor are in existence.
5.5.6 The Grantor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency
between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of
the Obligations.
5.5.7 To the extent any other Loan Document requires Proceeds of
Collateral under such Loan Document to be applied in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, the Canadian Collateral Agent or holder under such
other Loan Document shall apply such Proceeds in accordance with this Section.
5.6 PPSA and Other Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Canadian
Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to
all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or
relating to the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law, all
rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA, any other applicable law
and in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except to
the extent restricted by applicable law, the Canadian Collateral Agent, without
demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or
upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances, enter
onto any premises where Collateral consisting of tangible personal property may
be located, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part
-27-
thereof; and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to
purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof
(or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or
private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Canadian
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and
conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for
cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
The Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right,
except to the extent restricted by applicable law, upon any such sale or sales,
to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right
or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived
and released. The Grantor further agrees, at the Canadian Collateral Agent's
request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Canadian
Collateral Agent at places which the Canadian Collateral Agent shall reasonably
select, whether at the Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Canadian Collateral
Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this
subsection 5.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind
incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any
of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the
Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including,
without limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements, to the payment in
whole or in part of the Obligations of the Grantor then due and owing, in the
order of priority specified in subsection 5.5 above, and only after such
application and after the payment by the Canadian Collateral Agent of any other
amount required by any provision of law, need the Canadian Collateral Agent
account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, (i) the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may
acquire against the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising
out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, other than any
such claims, damages and demands that may arise from the gross negligence or
wilful misconduct of any of the Canadian Collateral Agent or such other Secured
Party, and (ii) if any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of
Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and
proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
(b) The Canadian Collateral Agent may appoint, remove or reappoint by
instrument in writing, any Person or Persons, whether an officer or officers or
an employee or employees of the Grantor or not, to be an interim receiver,
receiver or receivers (hereinafter called a "Receiver", which term when used
herein shall include a receiver and manager) of such Collateral (including any
interest, income or profits therefrom). Any such Receiver shall act as agent for
the Canadian Collateral Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the
Collateral but otherwise and for all other purpose, be deemed the agent of the
Grantor and not of the Canadian Collateral Agent. The Canadian Collateral Agent
shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or
non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver or its servants, agents or
employees. The identity of the receiver, its replacement and its remuneration
are within the sole and unfettered discretion of the Canadian Collateral Agent.
Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing it, any such Receiver
shall (i) have such powers as have been granted to the Canadian Collateral Agent
under this Section 5 and (ii) shall be entitled to exercise such powers at any
time that such powers would otherwise be exercisable by the Canadian Collateral
Agent under this Section 5, which powers shall include, but are not limited to,
the power to take possession of the Collateral, to preserve the Collateral or
its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business
of the Grantor and to sell, lease, license
-28-
or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise
disposing of the Collateral. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such
Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Grantor, enter upon,
use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Grantor wherein the
Collateral may be situate, maintain the Collateral upon such premises, borrow
money on a secured or unsecured basis and use the Collateral directly in
carrying on the Grantor's business or as security for loans or advances to
enable the Receiver to carry on the Grantor's business or otherwise, as such
Receiver shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine. Except as may be
otherwise directed by the Canadian Collateral Agent, all money received from
time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her/its appointment shall be
received in trust for and be paid over to the Canadian Collateral Agent and any
surplus shall be applied in accordance with applicable law. Every such Receiver
may, in the discretion of the Canadian Collateral Agent, be vested with, in
addition to the rights set out herein, all or any of the rights and powers of
the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent described in
the Credit Agreement, the PPSA, and any other applicable laws.
5.7 Registration Rights.
(a) If the Canadian Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its
right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to subsection 5.6, and if
in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent it is necessary or
reasonably advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be
sold, registered under the provisions of applicable securities legislation, the
Grantor will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i)
execute and deliver, and use its best efforts to cause the directors and
officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and
documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the
reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent necessary or advisable to
register such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the
provisions of the applicable securities legislation, (ii) use its reasonable
best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become
effective and to remain effective for a period of not more than one year from
the date of the first public offering of such Pledged Stock, or that portion
thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related
prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent are
necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of applicable
securities legislation and the rules and regulations of any applicable
securities commission or regulation applicable thereto. The Grantor agrees to
use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the
provisions of the securities laws of any and all provinces and territories that
the Canadian Collateral Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available
to its security holders, as soon as practicable, any statements (which need not
be audited) that will satisfy the provisions of applicable securities
legislation.
(b) The Grantor recognizes that the Canadian Collateral Agent may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all such Pledged Stock, by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in applicable securities legislation 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. The Grantor acknowledges and
agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less
favourable than if such sale were a public sale and,
-29-
notwithstanding such circumstances, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be under
any 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 applicable securities legislation, even if such Issuer would
agree to do so.
(c) The Grantor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to do or
cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or
sales of all or any portion of such Pledged Stock pursuant to this subsection
5.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable
Requirements of Law. The Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in this subsection 5.7 will cause irreparable injury to the
Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Canadian Collateral Agent
and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as
a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this subsection 5.7
shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantor, and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert
any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except
for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the
Credit Agreement.
5.8 Waiver; Deficiency.
The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of
any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay in full,
the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations constituting Obligations of the Grantor
and, to the extent then due and owing, all other Obligations of the Grantor and
the reasonable fees and disbursements of any legal counsel employed by the
Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 6 THE CANADIAN COLLATERAL AGENT
6.1 Canadian Collateral Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Canadian Collateral Agent or any authorized 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 the Grantor and in the
name of the Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the
terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute
any and all documents and instruments that may be reasonably necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement to the extent permitted
by applicable law, provided that the Canadian Collateral Agent agree not to
exercise such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time
when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in each case to the
extent permitted by applicable law), (x) the Grantor hereby gives the Canadian
Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice
or assent by the Grantor, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for
in subsection 5.6 or 5.7, any endorsements, assessments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Grantor's Pledged Collateral, and (y)
the Grantor hereby gives the Canadian Collateral Agent the power and right, on
behalf of the Grantor, without notice to or assent by the Grantor, to do any or
all of the following:
-30-
(i) in the name of the Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take
possession of and endorse and collect any cheques, drafts, notes,
acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any
Account Receivable of the Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with
respect to any other Collateral of the Grantor and file any claim or take
any other action or institute any proceeding in any court of law or equity
or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Canadian Collateral Agent for the
purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account
Receivable of the Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to
any other Collateral of the Grantor whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Copyright, Patent, Trade-xxxx, or Industrial
Design constituting Collateral of the Grantor, execute and deliver any and
all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Canadian
Collateral Agent may reasonably request to the Grantor to evidence the
Canadian Collateral Agent's and the Lenders' security interest in such
Copyright, Patent, Trade-xxxx or Industrial Design and the goodwill and
intangibles of the Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens, other than Liens permitted
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, levied or placed on the
Collateral of the Grantor, 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; and
(iv) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the
Collateral of the Grantor to make payment of any and all moneys due or to
become due thereunder directly to the Canadian Collateral Agent or as the
Canadian Collateral Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect,
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 of the Grantor; (C) sign and endorse 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 of the Grantor; (D) commence and
prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any
court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral of the Grantor or
any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any
Collateral of the Grantor; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding
brought against the Grantor with respect to any Collateral of the Grantor;
(F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding
described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such
discharges or releases as the Canadian Collateral Agent may deem
appropriate; (G) subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses,
license or sublicense, any Copyright, Patent, Trade-xxxx or Industrial
Design constituting Collateral of the Grantor (along with the goodwill of
the business to which any such Copyright, Patent, Trade-xxxx or Industrial
Design pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such
manner, as the Canadian Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion
determine; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement
with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral of the Grantor
as fully and completely as though the Canadian Collateral Agent were the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Canadian Collateral
Agent's option and the Grantor's expense, at any time, or from
-31-
time to time, all acts and things which the Canadian Collateral Agent deems
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral of the
Grantor and the Canadian 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 the Grantor might do.
(b) The reasonable expenses of the Canadian Collateral Agent incurred
in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this subsection 6.1,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum
at which interest would then be payable on past due Loans that are RCF Loans
under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Canadian Collateral
Agent to the date reimbursed by the Grantor, shall be payable by the Grantor to
the Canadian Collateral Agent on demand.
(c) The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney 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 as
to the Grantor until this Agreement is terminated, and the security interests in
the Collateral of the Grantor created hereby are released.
6.2 Duty of Canadian Collateral Agent.
The Canadian Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody,
safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, shall
be to deal with it in the same manner as the Canadian Collateral Agent deals
with similar property for its own account. None of the Canadian Collateral Agent
or any other Secured Party nor 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
the Grantor or any other Person or, except as otherwise provided herein, to take
any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.
The powers conferred on the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Canadian Collateral Agent's and the
other Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any
such powers. The Canadian 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 the Grantor for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or for their own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct.
6.3 Financing Statements.
Pursuant to any applicable law, the Grantor authorizes the Canadian
Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements, financing change
statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect
to the Grantor's Collateral without the signature of the Grantor in such form
and in such offices as the Canadian Collateral Agent reasonably determine
appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Canadian Collateral Agent
under this Agreement. The Grantor authorizes the Canadian Collateral Agent to
use any collateral description determined by the Canadian Collateral Agent,
including, without limitation, the
-32-
collateral description "all personal property" or "all assets" in any such
financing statements or financing change statements.
6.4 Authority of Canadian Collateral Agent.
The Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the
Canadian Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken
by the Canadian Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Canadian
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 or
any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall, as
between the Canadian Collateral Agent and the 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 Canadian Collateral
Agent and the Grantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be conclusively
presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid
authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Grantor shall not be under
any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
6.5 Right of Inspection.
Upon reasonable written advance notice to the Grantor and as often as
may reasonably be desired, or at any time and from time to time after the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Canadian
Collateral Agent shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to
all the books, correspondence and records of the Grantor, and the Canadian
Collateral Agent and their respective representatives may examine the same, and
to the extent reasonable take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof,
and the Grantor agrees to render to the Canadian Collateral Agent at the
Grantor's reasonable cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may
be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Canadian Collateral Agent and
their respective representatives shall also have the right, upon reasonable
advance written notice to the Grantor subject to any lease restrictions, to
enter during normal business hours into and upon any premises owned, leased or
operated by the Grantor where any of the Grantor's Inventory or Equipment is
located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise
protecting its interests therein.
SECTION 7 NON-LENDER SECURED PARTIES
7.1 Rights to Collateral.
(a) The Non-Lender Secured Parties shall not have any right whatsoever
to do any of the following: (i) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to
the Collateral (such term, as used in this Section 7, having the meaning
assigned to it in the Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, the
right to (A) enforce any Liens or sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of
the Collateral, (B) request any action, institute any proceedings, exercise any
voting rights, give any instructions, make any election, notify account debtors
or make collections with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral or (C)
release the Grantor under this Agreement or release any Collateral from the
Liens of any Security Document or consent to or otherwise approve any such
release; (ii) demand, accept or obtain any Lien on any Collateral (except for
Liens arising under, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement); (iii) vote in
any
-33-
Bankruptcy Case or similar proceeding in respect of Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries (any such proceeding, for purposes of this clause (a), a
"Bankruptcy") with respect to, or take any other actions concerning the
Collateral; (iv) receive any proceeds from any sale, transfer or other
disposition of any of the Collateral (except in accordance with this Agreement);
(v) oppose any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral; (vi)
object to any debtor-in-possession financing in any Bankruptcy Case which is
provided by one or more Lenders among others; (vii) object to the use of cash
collateral in respect of the Collateral in any Bankruptcy; or (viii) seek, or
object to the Lenders seeking on an equal and rateable basis, any adequate
protection or relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Collateral in
any Bankruptcy.
(b) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits
of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, agrees that in exercising
rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Canadian Collateral
Agent and the Lenders, with the consent of the Canadian Collateral Agent, may
enforce the provisions of the Security Documents and exercise remedies
thereunder and under any other Loan Documents (or refrain from enforcing rights
and exercising remedies), all in such order and in such manner as they may
determine in the exercise of their sole business judgment. Such exercise and
enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to collect, sell,
dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, to incur
expenses in connection with such collection, sale, disposition or other
realization and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender
under the PPSA of any applicable jurisdiction. The Non-Lender Secured Parties
hereby agree by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other
Security Documents not to contest or otherwise challenge any such collection,
sale, disposition or other realization of or upon all or any of the Collateral.
Whether or not a Bankruptcy Case has been commenced, the Non-Lender Secured
Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or other disposition of
any property, business or assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and the
release of any or all of the Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document
in connection therewith.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 7.1, the
Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or
defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or
other pleadings (A) in order to prevent any Person from seeking to foreclose on
the Collateral or supersede the Non-Lender Secured Parties' claim thereto or (B)
in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made
by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims
of the Non-Lender Secured Parties.
(d) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefit of
this Agreement, agrees that the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders may
deal with the Collateral, including any exchange, taking or release of
Collateral, may change or increase the amount of the Obligations, and may
release the Grantor from its Obligations hereunder, all without any liability or
obligation (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) to the
Non-Lender Secured Parties.
7.2 Appointment of Agent.
Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of
this Agreement and the other Security Documents, shall be deemed irrevocably to
make, constitute
-34-
and appoint the Canadian Collateral Agent as agent under the Credit Agreement
(and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Canadian Collateral
Agent) as such Person's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such
capacity, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of
substitution for the Non-Lender Secured Parties and in each such Person's name
or otherwise, to effectuate any sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Canadian
Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Non-Lender Secured
Parties for the purposes set forth herein is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable. It is understood and agreed that the Canadian Collateral Agent has
appointed the Canadian Administrative Agent as its agent for purposes of
perfecting certain of the security interests created hereunder and for otherwise
carrying out certain of its obligations hereunder.
7.3 Waiver of Claims.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Non-Lender Secured Party
waives any claim it might have against the Canadian Collateral Agent or the
Lenders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any
error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of
the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Lenders or their respective directors,
officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies
under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral
(including, without limitation, any such exercise described in subsection 7.1(b)
above), except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes wilful
misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. None of the Canadian Collateral
Agent or any Lender or any of their respective directors, officers, 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 Holdings, any
Subsidiary of Holdings, any Non-Lender Secured Party or any other Person or to
take any other action or forbear from doing so whatsoever with regard to the
Collateral or any part thereof, except for any such action or failure to act
which constitutes wilful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person.
SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Amendments in Writing.
None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived,
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument
executed by the Grantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent, provided that (a) any
provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on the Grantor may be waived by
the Canadian Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Canadian
Collateral Agent and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection
11.1 of the Credit Agreement, no such waiver and no such amendment or
modification shall amend, modify or waive the definition of "Secured Party" or
subsection 5.5 if such waiver, amendment, or modification would adversely affect
a Secured Party without the written consent of each such affected Secured Party.
8.2 Notices.
-35-
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Canadian Collateral
Agent or the Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in
subsection 11.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request
or demand to or upon the Grantor shall be addressed to the Grantor at its notice
address set forth on Schedule 1, unless and until the Grantor shall change such
address by notice to the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Canadian
Administrative Agent given in accordance with subsection 11.2 of the Credit
Agreement.
8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.
None of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall
by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 8.1), delay,
indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure
to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Canadian 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 Canadian
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 Canadian 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 Further Assurances.
The Grantor will do all acts and things and execute and deliver, or
cause to be executed and delivered, all agreements, documents and instruments
that the Collateral Agent may require, including as a result of the coming into
force of proposed legislation currently known as the Securities Transfer Act
(Ontario) (and similar legislation in the Provinces of Alberta and British
Columbia and other applicable jurisdictions), and take all further steps
relating to the Collateral or any other property or assets of the Grantor that
the Collateral Agent may require for (i) protecting the Collateral, (ii)
perfecting the security interest, and (iii) exercising all powers, authorities
and discretions conferred upon the Canadian Collateral Agent. After the security
interest becomes enforceable, the Grantor will do all acts and things and
execute and deliver all documents and instruments that the Collateral Agent may
require for facilitating the sale or other disposition of the Collateral in
connection with its realization.
8.5 Enforcement Expenses.
(a) The Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Canadian Collateral
Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless
from, (x) any and all liabilities, costs, losses and expenses of whatever kind
with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp,
excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be
payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
-36-
administration of this Agreement (collectively, the "indemnified liabilities"),
in each case to the extent the Parent Borrower would be required to do so
pursuant to subsection 11.5 of the Credit Agreement, and in any event excluding
any taxes or other indemnified liabilities arising from gross negligence or
wilful misconduct of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.
(b) The agreements in this subsection 8.5 shall survive repayment of
the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
8.6 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of
the Grantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their
respective successors and assigns; provided that the Grantor may not assign,
transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Canadian Collateral Agent.
8.7 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts
taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
8.8 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction; provided that, with respect to any Pledged Stock issued by a
Subsidiary, all rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement may be
exercised only to the extent that they do not violate any provision of any law,
rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any such Pledged
Stock or affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the
provisions of this Agreement against the Grantor (such laws, rules or
regulations, "Applicable Law") and are intended to be limited to the extent
necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or
not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any
Applicable Law.
8.9 Section Headings.
The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into

the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding
may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or
any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its
address referred to in subsection 8.2 or at such other address of which the
Canadian Collateral Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent (in the case of
any other party hereto) or the Parent Borrower (in the case of the Canadian
Collateral Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent) shall have been notified
pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right
to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it
may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in
this Section any consequential or punitive damages.
8.13 Waiver Of Jury Trial.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY

-38-
8.14 Releases.
(a) At such time as the Loans (including the face amount of all
outstanding Bankers' Acceptance Loans), the Reimbursement Obligations and the
other Obligations (other than any Obligations owing to a Non-Lender Secured
Party in respect of the provision of cash management services) then due and
owing, in each case, shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been
terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, all Collateral shall
be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all
obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of
the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all
without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and
all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor. At the request and
sole expense of the Grantor following any such termination, the Canadian
Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Grantor any Collateral held by the
Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Grantor such
documents (including without limitation, PPSA financing change statements and
discharges) as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.
(b) In connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral
permitted by the Credit Agreement (other than any sale or disposition to another
Grantor), the Lien pursuant to this Agreement on such sold or disposed of
Collateral shall be automatically released. In connection with the sale or other
disposition of all of the Capital Stock of the Grantor (other than to Holdings,
the Parent Borrower or a Subsidiary of either) or the sale or other disposition
of Collateral (other than a sale or disposition to another Grantor) permitted
under the Credit Agreement, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt
from the Parent Borrower of a written request for the release of the Grantor
from its Guarantee, if applicable, or the release of the Collateral subject to
such sale or other disposition, identifying the Grantor or the relevant
Collateral and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail,
including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together
with a certification by the Parent Borrower stating that such transaction is in
compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, execute and
deliver to the Grantor (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantor and without
representation or warranty of any kind) all releases or other documents
(including without limitation, PPSA financing change statements or discharges)
necessary or reasonably desirable for the release of such Guarantee or the Liens
created hereby on such Collateral, as applicable, as the Grantor may reasonably
request.
8.15 Judgment Currency.
(a) The obligations of the Grantor hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents to make payments in Dollars or in Canadian Dollars, as the case may be
(for the purposes of this Section 8.15, the "Obligation Currency"), shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment
expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency,
except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective
receipt by the Canadian Collateral Agent or a Lender of the full amount of the
Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Canadian Collateral Agent or
a Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose
of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Grantor or any other Loan Party
in any court or in any jurisdiction, it
-39-
becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation
Currency (for the purposes of this Section 8.15, such other currency being
hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in the
Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange
prevailing, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which
the judgment is given (for the purposes of this Section 8.15, such Business Day
being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency Conversion Date").
(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between
the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the
amount due, the Grantor covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such
additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be
necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when
converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will
produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased
with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial
award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion
Date.
(c) For purposes of determining the prevailing rate of exchange, such
amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the
purchase of the Obligation Currency.
8.16 Attachment of Security Interest.
The security interest created hereby is intended to attach, in respect
of Collateral in which the Grantor has rights at the time this Agreement is
signed by the Grantor and delivered to the Canadian Collateral Agent and, in
respect of Collateral in which the Grantor subsequently acquires rights, at the
time the Grantor subsequently acquires such rights. The Grantor acknowledges and
confirms that the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders have given value to
the Grantors.
8.17 Copy of Agreement; Verification Statement.
The Grantor hereby acknowledges receipt of a signed copy of this
Agreement and hereby waives the requirement to be provided with a copy of any
verification statement issued in respect of a financing statement or financing
change statement filed under the PPSA in connection with this Agreement to
perfect the security interest created herein.
8.18 Amalgamation.
The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, in the event it amalgamates
with any other company or companies, it is the intention of the parties hereto
that the term "Grantor" when used herein, shall apply to each of the
amalgamating corporations and to the amalgamated corporation, such that the lien
granted hereby:

corporations and the amalgamated corporations at the time of amalgamation and to
any Collateral thereafter owned or acquired by the amalgamated corporation, and
-40-

corporations and the amalgamated corporations to the Canadian Collateral Agent
and the Secured Parties at the time of amalgamation and all Obligations of the
amalgamated corporation to the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties
thereafter arising. The Lien shall attach to all Collateral owned by each
corporation amalgamating with the Grantor, and by the amalgamated corporation,
at the time of the amalgamation, and shall attach to all Collateral thereafter
owned or acquired by the amalgamated corporation when such becomes owned or is
acquired.
8.19 Language.The parties hereto confirm that it is their wish that
this Agreement, as well as any other documents relating to this Agreement,
including notices, schedules and authorizations, have been and shall be drawn up
