(vi) sixth: to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes payable under the Indenture which is then immediately due and payable; provided, further if such moneys shall not be sufficient to pay in full the entire amount then immediately due and payable, then to make pro rata payments, without any preference or priority, to each Holder;

(vii) seventh: to the ratable payment of the payable principal balance of, and, if any, premium on, the Notes which are then immediately due and payable; and if such moneys shall not be sufficient to pay in full the entire amount then immediately due and payable, then to make pro rata payments, without any preference or priority, to each Holder; and

(viii) eighth: to the payment of any such amounts remaining after payment in full of all Secured Obligations, to the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

For this purpose, “proceeds” of Collateral includes any and all cash, securities and other property received or realized from foreclosure, sale, collection suit or other means of realization of the Collateral Agent’s Liens upon any Collateral (including distributions of Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations) or distributed in any bankruptcy case or insolvency or liquidation proceeding in respect of any claim upon any Secured Obligation that is allowed or enforceable therein as a claim secured by any Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) If any of the Holders, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Trustee or any other party hereto collects or receives any proceeds of such foreclosure, sale, collection suit or other means of realization of the Collateral Agent’s Liens upon any Collateral which should have been applied in accordance with Section 2.6(a), whether after the commencement of an insolvency or liquidation proceeding or otherwise, such Person will forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with Section 2.6(a). Until so delivered, such proceeds will be held by that Person for the benefit of the holders the Secured Obligations, pending application as provided in Section 2.6(a).

(c) Any amounts received or held by the Collateral Agent which are not either (x) applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (y) provided for under any other provision of the Credit Facility Agreements or the Note Documents, shall be distributed in respect of amounts then immediately due and payable ratably by the Collateral Agent upon written direction of the Administrative Agent, the Trustee, or, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, in the proportion that the aggregate unpaid principal and interest then due to the Lenders, in the case of the Administrative Agent, or the unpaid


		11		Collateral Agency Agreement

principal amount of all Notes plus premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, in the case of the Trustee, bears to the aggregate of all outstanding principal due to the Lenders and under the Notes, plus premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, in no event shall any amounts be distributed that are not then immediately due and payable.

(d) This Section 2.6 sets forth relative rights, as lienholders, of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. Neither this Section 2.6 nor any other provision of this Agreement will:

(1) impair, as between the Company, any other Obligor and holders of the Secured Obligations, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on the Secured Obligations, and the obligation of each Subsidiary Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay its guarantee obligation with respect thereto, in accordance with their terms or to perform any obligation of the Company or any other Obligor under the Note Documents or the Credit Facility Documents, as applicable; or

(2) affect the relative rights of holders of Secured Obligations and other creditors of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries.

This Section 2.6 is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each present and future holder of Secured Obligations.

(e) Until the date that the Collateral Agent applies all proceeds pursuant to Section 2.6(a), a non-interest bearing segregated trust account (the “Collateral Account”) on behalf of the Trustee and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the respective holders of the Secured Obligations shall be maintained by the Collateral Agent at its corporate trust department in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Account shall be, at all times, under control of the Collateral Agent. All moneys that are received by the Collateral Agent from any foreclosure, collection suit or other realization of the Collateral Agent’s Liens upon any Collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account and, thereafter, shall be held and applied by the Collateral Agent all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) The Collateral Agent shall establish, in addition to the Collateral Account provided for in Section 2.6(e) above, a non-interest bearing segregated trust account on behalf of the Company in the event of any issuance of Additional Notes or any Sale of Collateral that results in Net Sale Proceeds. All cash and cash equivalents received by the Collateral Agent from issuances of Additional Notes or any Sale of Collateral that results in Net Sale Proceeds, shall be deposited in such account (“Asset Sale Proceeds Account”) and thereafter shall be held, applied and/or disbursed by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the applicable Control Agreement. Such Asset Sale Proceeds Account shall be maintained by the Collateral Agent at its corporate trust department in accordance with the terms of the applicable Control Agreement. The Asset Sale Proceeds Account shall be, at all times, under the sole control of the Collateral Agent. Proceeds from (i) any foreclosure or collection suit related to the Collateral shall only be deposited in a Collateral Account, (ii) the issuance of any Additional Notes and from a Sale of Collateral that relate to Net Proceeds shall only be deposited in an Asset Sale Proceeds Account.


		12		Collateral Agency Agreement

(g) Pending the distribution of funds in the Collateral Account or Asset Sale Proceeds Account in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Control Agreement, such Collateral Account and Asset Sale Proceeds Account will be maintained as provided below:

(1) the Collateral Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Article 3 and Article 6, and the other provisions of this Article 2, from time to time (i) invest amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account and the Asset Sale Proceeds Account in Temporary Cash Investments and (ii) invest interest paid on such Temporary Cash Investments and reinvest other proceeds of any such Temporary Cash Investments that may mature or be sold, in additional Temporary Cash Investments, in each case at the written direction of the Company so long as no Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing and in Temporary Cash Investments described in clause (2) of the definition of such term if such an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, with interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Temporary Cash Investments deposited and held in the Collateral Account or the Asset Sale Proceeds Account, as applicable; notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall to the extent possible, ensure that the Collateral Agent is directed to invest (and in the case of investments made while an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge, the Collateral Agent shall, to the extent possible, invest) any funds to be distributed on a date intended for the distribution of any amounts or proceeds therefrom in Temporary Cash Investment that shall mature or become liquid on or prior to such date;

(2) all Temporary Cash Investments in respect of the Collateral Account and the Asset Sale Proceeds Account and all interest and income received thereon and therefrom and the net proceeds realized on the maturity or sale thereof shall be held in the Collateral Account or the Asset Sale Proceeds Account, as applicable, as a part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof; and

(3) the Collateral Account and the Asset Sale Proceeds Account shall each be subject to such applicable laws, and such applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of any other appropriate banking or regulatory authority, as are in effect from time to time.

(h) In connection with the application of proceeds pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (c), except as otherwise directed in writing by an Act of the Secured Debtholders or an Act of Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the Collateral Agent may sell any non-cash proceeds for cash prior to the application of the proceeds thereof.

(i) In connection with the application of proceeds pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (c), the Collateral Agent may be required, and is hereby authorized by the Trustee and the Administrative Agent, to convert C$ to US$ or US$ to C$, as may be required to satisfy the respective Secured Obligations in the currency in which such Secured Obligations are denominated. The Collateral Agent shall make any such conversion in accordance with its own banking procedures in a timely fashion so as to allow the distribution of proceeds pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (c) on the date otherwise specified for such payment.

(j) Except as provided in Section 2.6(g)(1) in the case of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the absence of timely and specific investment direction from the Company. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for the selection of


		13		Collateral Agency Agreement

investments or for any loss incurred in connection with any investment or any sale, liquidation or redemption.

(k) In the event the Collateral Agent receives proceeds of the disposition of any Collateral in circumstances in which the terms of the Security Documents do not direct the Collateral Agent as to the application of such proceeds, the Collateral Agent may request that the Trustee and the Administrative Agent instruct the Collateral Agent as to the proper application of such proceeds. If the Collateral Agent receives such instructions from the Trustee and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent shall act on such instructions without regard to any contradictory instructions from any other Person; provided that so long as no Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall not act on such instructions from the Trustee and the Administrative Agent unless it has also obtained the consent thereto from the Company. Prior to the receipt of such instructions and, if required as aforesaid such consent thereto contemplated by the terms of this Section 2.6(j), the Collateral Agent shall deposit such proceeds in the Asset Sale Proceeds Account. Neither the Trustee nor the Administrative Agent shall give instructions to the Collateral Agent to make payment to any holder of a Note or any to Lender under the Indenture or Credit Agreement, respectively, except to pay such amounts as are then immediately due and payable to such Person under such agreement.

SECTION 2.7 Credit Bid Rights.

(a) If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent forecloses any of its Liens upon any Collateral, whether by public sale or private sale or judicial foreclosure or otherwise, and if directed in writing by an Act of the Secured Debtholders or an Act of the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to exercise its credit bid rights as provided in this Section 2.7(a), the Collateral Agent, acting for and on behalf of the Secured Debtholders and other holders of Secured Obligations, shall be entitled (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) to use and apply then matured Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price payable by the Collateral Agent for any Collateral sold to the Collateral Agent at the corresponding foreclosure sale, for all purposes related to bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price at such foreclosure sale.

(b) Each of the Company, Subsidiary Guarantors and other Obligors hereby grants, confirms and agrees to cooperate with and permit the exercise and enforcement of the rights set forth in this Section 2.7.

SECTION 2.8 Appointment and Powers of the Collateral Agent.

(a) Reserved.

(b) The Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized and empowered to enter into and perform its obligations and protect, perfect, exercise and enforce its interest, rights, powers and remedies, in each case pursuant to the Security Documents and applicable law and to act as set forth in this Article 2 or as requested in any lawful directions given to it from time to time in respect of any matter by Act of the Secured Debtholders or Act of the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Except as specifically provided herein, the Administrative Agent and the Trustee are party to this Agreement solely to confirm their acknowledgement of the undertaking of the Collateral Agent set forth in Section 2.1(a) and their acceptance of the rights granted to them by this Agreement.

In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Security Document. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Agent and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Security 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, or the Collateral Agent is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Security Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 4.12 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral.


		21		Collateral Agency Agreement

(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 Liens on 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 that which it accords similar property, 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 (or simple negligence in the banking of funds), bad faith or willful 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.

SECTION

4.13 Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(1) each of the parties thereto will remain liable under each of the Security 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;

(2) 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 other Security Documents; and

(3) 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.

SECTION 4.14 No Liability for Clean Up of Hazardous Materials. In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust 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, state 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, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and


		22		Collateral Agency Agreement

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.

SECTION

4.15 Not Responsible for Recitals; Other Matters.

(a) The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the Collateral Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Collateral Agent makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement.

(b) In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Collateral Agent which conform to the requirements of this Agreement or the Security Documents.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of the Collateral Agent, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Collateral Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(d) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents the Collateral Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken, such matter may, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall be full warrant to the Collateral Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of the Agreement or the Security Documents upon the faith thereof.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights vested in it by this Agreement or the Security Documents or to enforce any remedy or realize upon any of the Collateral unless (i) it has been directed to take such action pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1(c) herein, and (ii) it has been offered security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities (including fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
