The Collateral Agent will be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Agreement, be delivered to it in a form and with substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it.

5.8 Entitled to Rely.

The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any writing, certificate, notice, statement, order or other document (including any facsimile) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons and need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document. The Collateral Agent may seek and rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by the Issuer or any other Obligor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Secured Debt Representative as to the Secured Parties for whom it acts, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the Collateral Documents has been duly authorized to do so. To the extent a certificate, Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel is required or permitted under this Agreement to be delivered to the Collateral Agent in respect of any matter, the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on such certificate, Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel as to such matter and such certificate, Officers’ Certificate or

- 43 -

5.9 Actionable Default.

The Collateral Agent will not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of any Actionable Default and will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any Actionable Default unless and until it receives a Notice of Actionable Default and instructions pursuant to an Act of Instructing Secured Parties.

5.10 Actions by Collateral Agent.

As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent will act or refrain from acting as directed by the Requisite Secured Parties or, in the case of any Enforcement Proceeding, an Act of Instructing Secured Parties, and will be fully protected if it does so, and any action taken, suffered or omitted pursuant to hereto or thereto shall be binding on the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the power, but need not be obliged, to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings (other than Enforcement Proceedings) as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair Liens or be prejudicial to the interests of the Secured Parties).

5.11 Instructions to Collateral Agent.

(a) At any time it is necessary to determine the Exposures of the Secured Parties hereunder in order to effect any approval or instructions by the Requisite Secured Parties or pursuant to an Act of Instructing Secured Parties, as applicable, the Collateral Agent shall request each Secured Debt Representative to provide to the Collateral Agent a written calculation of the total Exposure of the Series of Secured Debt represented by such Secured Debt Representative, and each such calculation to be certified true and correct by the Secured Debt Representative providing same. Such calculation of Exposures shall be in such detail as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent. Each Secured Debt Representative shall provide such calculation of Exposures within two (2) Business Days following the request of the Collateral Agent. Any such calculation provided by a particular Secured Debt Representative shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the total Exposures of the Series of Secured Debt represented by such Secured Debt Representative at such time and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such calculation. Within two (2) Business Days following the receipt of all such calculations of Exposures from

- 44 -

the Secured Debt Representatives, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Secured Debt Representatives of the total Exposures of each Series of Secured Debt.

(b) Following receipt of the notification from the Collateral Agent of the calculation of the total Exposures of each Series of Secured Debt and the relevant matter under this Agreement or the Security Documents requiring approval or instructions from the Requisite Secured Parties or pursuant to an Act of Instructing Secured Parties, as applicable, each Secured Debt Representative representing a Series of Secured Debt entitled to approve or instruct with respect to such matter in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall as soon as practicable and in any event no later than within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of such notification, seek a vote or consent solicitation with respect to such approval or instructions in accordance with the required procedures and timelines set out under its applicable Secured Debt Documents. Following the completion of such vote or consent solicitation, each such Secured Debt Representative shall notify the Collateral Agent of the results of such vote or consent solicitation, such results to be certified true and correct by the Secured Debt Representative providing same and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such certified results and act in accordance therewith.

(c) Prior to the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a Notice of Actionable Default, with respect to any matter requiring the approval of the Secured Parties hereunder (other than those matters specified in Section 9.1(a)(iii)), the Collateral Agent shall, following the determination of Exposures in accordance with Section 5.11(a), act in accordance with the approval or instructions of the Requisite Secured Parties.

(d) With respect to any amendment, supplement or other matter specified in Section 9.1(a)(iii), the Collateral Agent shall request written confirmation from each of the Secured Debt Representatives who represent each affected Series of Secured Debt that the requisite percentage or number of affected holders of each such affected Series of Secured Debt has approved the relevant amendment, supplement or other matter in accordance with the required voting thresholds for such amendment, supplement or other matter under the applicable Secured Debt Documents and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such written confirmation from such Secured Debt Representatives and act in accordance therewith.

(e) Any Obligor or the Secured Party may request at any time that the Collateral Agent seek approval or instructions with respect to any matter requiring the approval or instructions of the Secured Parties under this Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.11.

(f) Following receipt of a Notice of Actionable Default, in determining how to conduct an Enforcement Proceeding, the Collateral Agent shall, following the determination of Exposures in accordance with Section 5.11(a), request from the Secured Debt Representatives and take instruction pursuant to an Act of Instructing Secured Parties, and shall conduct the Enforcement Proceeding in

- 45 -

accordance therewith. In providing such instructions to the Collateral Agent, the Secured Debt Representatives shall act in good faith and may not act to frustrate any Enforcement Proceeding. If at any time following receipt of a Notice of Actionable Default, the Collateral Agent shall not have received clear instructions pursuant to an Act of Instructing Secured Parties within 14 days following a written request by the Collateral Agent for an Act of Instructing Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain instructions pursuant to an Act of Instructing Secured Parties by requesting a meeting of Secured Parties or meeting of Secured Parties for a particular Series of Secured Debt, as applicable, and the Secured Parties shall act in good faith in the conduct of such meeting and may not act to frustrate such meeting. Unless and until the Collateral Agent receives such clear instructions pursuant to an Act of Instructing Secured Parties, no Enforcement Proceeding shall be commenced.

5.12 Security or Indemnity in Favour of the Collateral Agent.

The Collateral Agent (a) will not be required to advance or expend any funds, post any guarantee, bond or security, or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security and indemnity in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion against any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action and (b) shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Agreement at the request or direction of any instructing Party unless such instructing Party has provided to the Collateral Agent indemnity and/or security in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion against any loss liability, cost or expense in relation to such exercise. The Collateral Agent has the power and authority to grant indemnification to a depository bank pursuant to any deposit account control agreement if and as necessary, and each of the Secured Debt Representatives, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties under the Series of Secured Debt represented by it, hereby acknowledges that the Collateral Agent, in order to so indemnify the depository bank, shall have recourse against any part of the Collateral granted to it by each Obligor.

5.13 Rights of the Collateral Agent.

In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any Secured Debt Document or any Collateral Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such Secured Debt Document or Collateral Document. In the event that (a) the Collateral Agent is in doubt as to what action it is required or permitted to take or to refrain from taking hereunder or (b) there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement, the Secured Debt Documents or any of the Collateral Documents resulting in adverse claims being made or threatened in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Agent or the terms of this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Agent is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, the Collateral Agent will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until (i) it is directed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the Parties entitled to give such direction, (ii) it receives an Opinion of Counsel confirming that it is permitted to take or refrain from taking a particular action or (iii) it is

- 46 -

ordered to take or refrain from taking such action by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to take such actions as it reasonably deems necessary to seek such written direction, Opinion of Counsel or court order.

5.14 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Agent will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Lien in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to the care afforded to collateral of similar substance and value located within the same approximate geographic market by collateral agents of similar size as the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

(b) The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Obligor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the present and future holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the Liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral.

5.15 Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(a) each of the parties thereto will remain liable under each of the Collateral Documents (other than this Agreement) to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not be executed;

- 47 -

(b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder will not release such parties from any of their respective duties or obligations under the Collateral Documents; and

(c) the Collateral Agent will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the parties thereunder other than the Collateral Agent.

5.16 No Liability for Clean Up of Hazardous Materials.

In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to realize upon an asset for any reason, or take any action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, provincial or local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Agent or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, provincial or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

(a) such Person will succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the predecessor Collateral Agent, and the predecessor Collateral Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; and

(b) the predecessor Collateral Agent will (at the expense of the Issuer) promptly transfer all Liens and collateral security within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Agent and will execute instruments and assignments as may be necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the successor Collateral Agent to transfer to the successor Collateral Agent all Liens, interests, rights, powers and remedies of the predecessor Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral Documents.

Thereafter the predecessor Collateral Agent will remain entitled to enforce the immunities granted to it in Article 5 and the provisions of Sections 9.9 and 9.10 with respect to any action or inaction by it or other event or circumstance which occurred prior to its resignation and transfer of its duties under this Agreement.

(a) Nothing herein shall be deemed to hold the Collateral Agent responsible for failure by the Issuer or any other Obligor to maintain insurance coverage or for any loss arising out of any want, defect or insufficiency in any insurance policy, or because of failure of any insurer to pay the full amount of any loss or damage insured against. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request and rely absolutely upon an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuer and the other Obligors maintain adequate insurance coverage with respect to the Collateral. No duty with respect to effecting or maintaining insurance coverage shall rest with the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any loss by reason of want, defect or insufficiency of insurance or by reason of the failure of any insurer in which the insurance is carried to pay the full amount of any loss against which they have insured.

(b) The Issuer covenants with the Collateral Agent that so long as any Secured Obligations remain outstanding the Issuer will or will cause others to insure and keep insured the Collateral against all loss or damage by fire and other insurable hazards which such assets are commonly insured against and in such amounts as a prudent owner of similar property would effect in the circumstances; provided that the insurance policies may contain such exclusions from the risks insured against as are in accordance with the customary practice of insurers who are members of the Canadian Underwriters Association. The Issuer will, or will cause others to, duly pay all premiums and other sums of money payable for maintaining such insurance, and will, if required, give to the Collateral Agent evidence of such insurance and the payment of such premiums.

(c) Such insurance will be effected and maintained in such amounts as will reasonably protect the Issuer against such loss or damage and in any event to the same extent as may from time to time be usual and prudent for companies carrying on a similar business or operating or owning similar properties.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely absolutely upon certificates of the Issuer that the amount of insurance carried from time to time is in compliance with the foregoing provisions. No duty with respect to effecting or maintaining insurance, or notifying the holders of bonds or others of the failure of the Issuer to insure, shall rest upon the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be

- 53 -

responsible for any loss by reason of the failure of any insurer in which the insurance is carried to pay the full amount of any loss against which they may have insured the Issuer.
