(i) actions necessary to obtain control of the Collateral as provided in Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the UCC, provided, that, entering into and delivering any Control Agreement shall be deemed necessary to the extent required by Section 4.1.3;

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor covenants and agrees to provide a complete and accurate list of (i) (A) all issued and applied-for Patents owned by each Grantor, including those that have been issued by or are on file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or corresponding offices in other countries of the world and (B) all Patent Licenses, (ii) (A) all registered and applied-for Trademarks owned by each Grantor, including those that are registered, or for which an application for registration has been made, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or corresponding offices in other countries of the world and (B) all Trademark Licenses, and (iii) (A) all registered and applied-for Copyrights owned by each Grantor, including those that are registered, or for which an application for registration has been made, with the United States Copyright Office or corresponding offices in other countries of the world and (B) all Copyright Licenses, including an indication of which of those Copyright Licenses are exclusive licenses granted to such Grantor in respect of any Copyright that is registered with the United States Copyright Office.

SECTION 4.7. As to Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that, until the Termination Date, with respect to any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $500,000 hereafter arising, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a supplement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, together with all supplements to schedules thereto identifying such new Commercial Tort Claims and take all such action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant to the Administrative Agent and perfect a security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim.

SECTION 4.8. Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201 of the U.S. Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the U.S. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the request of the Administrative Agent, shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Administrative Agent control under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Administrative Agent agrees with such Grantor that the Administrative Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Administrative Agent’s loss of control, for the Grantor to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the U.S. Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the U.S. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

SECTION 4.9. Further Assurances, etc. Each Grantor agrees that, from time to time at its own expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect, preserve and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Grantor will:

(b) file (and hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to file) such Filing Statements or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, IP Filings, and such other instruments or notices (including any assignment of claim form under or pursuant to the federal assignment of claims statute, 31 U.S.C. § 3726, any successor or amended version thereof or any regulation promulgated under or pursuant to any version thereof), as may be reasonably necessary or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect and preserve the security interests and other rights granted or purported to be granted to the Administrative Agent hereby; and

(c) furnish to the Administrative Agent, from time to time at the Administrative Agent’s request, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

With respect to the foregoing and the grant of the security interest hereunder, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any UCC financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a UCC financing statement where permitted by Law. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement.

ARTICLE 5.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 5.1. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including:

(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(b) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and Chattel Paper, in connection with clause (a) above;

(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; and

(d) to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

SECTION 5.2. Administrative Agent Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any of such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for:

(a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment Property, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters; or

(b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

SECTION 5.3. Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided, that, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of (a) any of the Collateral in its physical possession, if it handles the custody and preservation of the Collateral in the same manner as it deals with similar property for its own account and (b) any other Collateral, if it takes such action for that purpose as each Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Administrative Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.

ARTICLE 6.

REMEDIES

SECTION 6.1. Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may:

(i) take possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal process;

(ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(iii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal process;

Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, at least ten days’ prior written notice (unless an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(f) of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred, in which case, no such notice shall be required) to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) All cash Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Administrative Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

(v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral;

(vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral; and

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral:

(i) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment or assignments of the Intellectual Property Collateral, subject (in the case of any licenses thereunder) to any valid and enforceable requirements to obtain consents from any third parties, and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof;

(ii) each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may file applications and maintain registrations for the protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any licenses thereunder and, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist with such filing or enforcement (including the execution of relevant documents); and

(iii) in the event that the Administrative Agent elects not to make any filing or bring any suit as set forth in clause (ii), each Grantor shall, upon the request of Administrative Agent, use all commercially reasonable efforts, whether through making appropriate filings or bringing suit or otherwise, to protect, enforce and prevent the infringement, misappropriation, dilution, unauthorized use or other violation of the Intellectual Property Collateral.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, for the purposes of this Section 6.1, “Collateral” and “Intellectual Property Collateral” shall include any “intent to use” trademark application only to the extent (x) that the business of such Grantor, or portion thereof, to which that xxxx pertains is also included in the Collateral and (y) that such business is ongoing and existing.

SECTION 6.2. Securities Laws. If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Collateral that are Equity Interests pursuant to Section 6.1, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor will, at its own expense:

(a) execute and deliver, and cause (or, with respect to any issuer which is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each issuer of the Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by Law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto;

(b) use its best efforts to exempt the Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Administrative Agent;

(c) cause (or, with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each such issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and

(d) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable Law.

Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section and consequently agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) of such Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent shall demand compliance with this Section.

SECTION 6.3. Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with

such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and such Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Administrative Agent be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

SECTION 6.4. Protection of Collateral. The Administrative Agent may from time to time, at its option, (a) perform any act required under this Agreement or otherwise necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement which any Grantor fails to perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) and (b) take any other action which the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein and, in each case, the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor pursuant to and consistent with Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 7.3. Amendments, etc. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Grantor from its obligations under this Security Agreement, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement) and the Grantors and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

SECTION 7.13. Security Agreements. Without limiting any of the rights, remedies, privileges or benefits provided hereunder to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties, each Grantor and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement in respect of any Collateral subject to the pledge or other Lien of any other security agreement entered into for the benefit of the Secured Parties are, and shall be deemed to be, supplemental and in addition to the rights, remedies, privileges and benefits provided to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties under such other security agreement and under applicable Law to the extent consistent with applicable Law; provided, that, in the event that the terms of this Security Agreement conflict or are inconsistent with the applicable other security agreement or applicable Law governing such other security agreement, (a) to the extent that the provisions of such other security agreement or applicable foreign Law are, under applicable foreign Law, necessary for the creation, perfection or priority of the security interests in the Collateral subject to such other security agreement, the terms of such other security agreement or such applicable Law shall be controlling and (b) otherwise, the terms hereof shall be controlling.

SECTION 7.14. Perfection under Foreign Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement with respect to (a) the assets or properties of any Grantor that are located in a non-U.S. jurisdiction (a “Foreign Jurisdiction”) or hereafter are moved to a Foreign Jurisdiction (any assets or properties so located or moved being “Foreign Located Assets”), and (b) Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiary that are owned by any Grantor (such Equity Interests being “Foreign Equity”):

(a) except with respect to the Luxembourg Share Pledge Agreement, no action in any jurisdiction other than the United States shall be required in order to create or perfect any security interest in any assets of the Grantors (it being understood and agreed that no security agreements and no pledge agreements shall be governed under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States); and

(b) no representation or warranty by any Grantor herein as to the perfection of any security interest granted in any Foreign Located Asset or Foreign Equity shall be deemed to refer to any action to create or perfect any security interest in or Lien on such Foreign Located Assets or Foreign Equity owned by such Grantor under the law of any Foreign Jurisdiction (“Foreign Perfection”) that may be required under the laws of any Foreign Jurisdiction in connection therewith.

SECTION 7.15. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. The terms and provisions of Section 11.22 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms and provisions.

SECTION 7.16. Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Security Agreement. The parties to the Existing Security Agreement each hereby agrees that the Existing Security Agreement automatically shall be deemed amended, superseded and restated in its entirety by this Security Agreement. All indebtedness, obligations, liabilities and liens created by the Existing Security Agreement shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect, as amended and restated in this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement does not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Security Agreement, and this Security Agreement evidences the obligations of the Grantors under the Existing Security Agreement as continued and amended and restated hereby.

SECTION 7.17. ULC Shares. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Security Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document or agreement to which any party to this Security Agreement is also party, each Grantor that is a registered and beneficial owner of the shares and other Equity Interests pledged hereunder (collectively, the “ULC Shares”) of an unlimited company, unlimited liability company or unlimited liability corporation incorporated or otherwise existing under the laws of any province or territory of Canada or under the federal laws of Canada, or any other entity whose members or shareholders have liability comparable to that of members or shareholders of any of those entities (each, a “ULC”) that is from time to time an issuer of ULC Shares, is the sole registered and beneficial owner of such ULC Shares. Each such Grantor will remain so until the ULC Shares are, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which has not been revoked) and in the course of realization of the security interests under this Security Agreement, transferred on the books and records of the applicable issuer of ULC Shares into the name of the Administrative Agent, its nominee, any Secured Party or a purchaser designated by the Administrative Agent. Accordingly, each such Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend, distribution, payment or other proceeds in respect of the ULC Shares (except insofar as such Grantor has granted a security interest in the dividend or other distribution in favor of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, in which case the other terms of the security interest will apply) and shall have the right to vote the ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the issuer of ULC Shares to the same extent as such Grantor would if the ULC Shares were not pledged to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document is intended to or shall constitute the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any person other than the Grantors, a shareholder or member of any issuer of ULC Shares for the purposes of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), the Companies Act (Nova Scotia), the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or any other applicable legislation governing the formation of a ULC (“ULC Legislation”) until such time as the ULC Shares are transferred in the course of realization as described above in this Section. To the extent any provision of this Security Agreement would have the effect of constituting the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or any person other than the Grantors as a shareholder or member of any ULC that is from time to time an issuer of ULC Shares for the purposes of the ULC Legislation before then, the provision shall be deemed not to apply to the ULC Shares or that ULC, as the case may be, and shall be ineffective without otherwise invalidating or rendering this Security Agreement unenforceable or invalidating or rendering the provision in question unenforceable insofar as it relates to property that is not the ULC Shares. Notwithstanding anything else in this Security Agreement, except upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of the ULC Shares following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the applicable Grantors shall not cause, permit or enable any issuer of ULC Shares to cause, permit, or enable, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to: (a) be registered as a shareholder of the issuer of ULC Shares; (b) have any notation entered in its favor in the share register or

other books and records of a ULC in respect of the ULC Shares; (c) act or purport to act as a shareholder of the issuer of ULC Shares, or obtain, exercise or attempt to exercise any rights of a shareholder of the issuer of ULC Shares, including the right to attend a meeting of the issuer of ULC Shares, or to vote the ULC Shares; (d) be held out as shareholder or member of the issuer of ULC Shares; or (e) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from the issuer of ULC Shares by reason of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party holding a security interest in the ULC Shares. The limitations in this Section shall not restrict the Administrative Agent from (i) exercising the rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares that it is entitled to exercise under this Security Agreement or (ii) having the ULC Shares registered in its name, in either case at any time that the Administrative Agent is entitled to realize on all or any portion of the ULC Shares pursuant to this Security Agreement and, in either case, provided that the Administrative Agent has (y) given notice to such Grantor of its intention to realize upon those ULC Shares (including by selling or disposing of or re-registering those ULC Shares) and (z) consented in writing to any change in registration and not revoked its consent.
