19
be immediately paid over to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors.
The Obligor shall not exercise any rights of set off with respect to amounts payable by it under or in connection with any Restricted Asset and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no other party to the Restricted Asset shall exercise any rights of set off against any such amounts. The Obligor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of each other party to the Restricted Asset to the assignment of the Restricted Asset to the Collateral Agent in accordance with this security agreement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all agreements entered into on and after the Effective Date expressly permit assignments of the benefits of such agreement as collateral security to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this security agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall be bound to exercise in the physical keeping of such Collateral only the same degree of care as it would exercise with respect to its own securities.

(vi) the pledge, collateral assignment and delivery to the Collateral Agent of the Collateral consisting of certificated Securities pursuant to this security agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in such certificated Securities, and the proceeds thereof, subject to no prior Lien or to any agreement purporting to grant to any third party a Lien on the property or assets of such the Obligor which would include the Securities (other than Permitted Liens) and the Collateral Agent is entitled to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the PPSA or other relevant personal property securities legislation as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfect security interests in respect of such Collateral; and

(b) of (i) any change, to the knowledge of the Obligor, in the location of the chief executive office or head office of each account debtor of the Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries to a jurisdiction other than any province of Canada or state in the United States of America; or (ii) any new account debtor with its chief executive office or head office in a jurisdiction other than any province of Canada or state in the United States of America; or (iii) any change, to the knowledge of the Obligor, in the location of Units leased to customers of the Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries to a jurisdiction other than the jurisdictions specified under the heading “Leased Units” in Schedule 4.1(d).
42
Section 4.24 Insurance.
Except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Documents, the Obligor will do nothing to impair the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral. The Obligor will at all times keep its Inventory and equipment (including the Units) insured in favour of the Collateral Agent, at the Obligor’s own expense to the extent required by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement against fire, theft and all other risks to which such Collateral may be subject; all policies or certificates with respect to such insurance shall be endorsed to the Collateral Agent’s reasonable satisfaction for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (including by naming the Collateral Agent as additional insured and loss payee) and deposited with the Collateral Agent. If the Obligor shall fail to insure such Inventory and equipment (including the Units) to the extent required by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or if the Obligor shall fail to so endorse and deposit all policies or certificates with respect thereto, the Collateral Agent, shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Obligor, to procure such insurance and the Obligor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses of procuring such insurance. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (or a Default under Section 9.1(e) of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), the Collateral Agent may apply any proceeds of such insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 4.24 in accordance with Section 5.10. The Obligor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it and the liability of the Obligor to pay the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to the Obligor.
Section 4.25 Perfection and Protection of Security Interest.
The Obligor agrees that it shall perform, execute and deliver, and cause its Subsidiaries to perform, execute and deliver, all acts, agreements, and other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent at any time to register, file, signify, publish, perfect, maintain, protect, and enforce the Security Interest including (i) executing, recording and filing of the Credit Documents and financing or continuation statements in connection therewith, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, acting reasonably, and pay all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith, (ii) delivering to the Collateral Agent the originals of all instruments, documents and chattel paper and all other Collateral of which the Collateral Agent reasonably determines it should have physical possession in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest, duly endorsed or assigned to the Collateral Agent, (iii) delivering to the Collateral Agent warehouse receipts covering any portion of the Collateral located in warehouses and for which warehouse receipts are listed, (iv) placing notations on its books of account to disclose the Security Interest, (v) delivering to the Collateral Agent all letters of credit on which the Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries is named beneficiary, and (vi) taking
43
such other steps as are deemed necessary by the Collateral Agent, acting reasonably, to maintain the Security Interest.
Section 4.26 Additional Security.
The Obligor agrees that it shall grant, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to grant, to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, security interests and mortgages in such assets and properties of the Obligor or such Subsidiary as are not covered by the original Credit Documents or as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Collateral Agent pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent constituting valid and enforceable perfected security interests superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens, except for Permitted Liens.
Section 4.27 Financing Statements.
The Obligor agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such financing statements, in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, as the Collateral Agent may from time to time request or as are necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable and first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) perfected security interest in the Collateral as provided herein and in the other rights and security contemplated hereby all in accordance with the PPSA or the personal property security legislation as enacted in any and all relevant jurisdictions or any other relevant law. The Obligor will pay any applicable filing fees, recordation taxes and related expenses relating to its Collateral. The Obligor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any such financing statements without the signature of the Obligor where permitted by law.
Section 4.28 Deposit Accounts.
(1) The Obligor does not maintain, and shall not at any time after the Effective Date establish or maintain, any demand, time, savings, passbook or similar account, except for such accounts which are permitted pursuant to Section 8.16 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Schedule 4.28 accurately sets forth each account maintained by the Obligor (including a description thereof and the respective account number), the name of the respective bank with which such account is maintained, and the branch of the bank at which such account is maintained. For each account, the Obligor shall cause the bank with which the account is maintained to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, within 30 days after the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, a “control agreement” in the form of Exhibit “A” to Schedule 4.28 (appropriately completed) with such changes thereto as may be acceptable to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and the Obligor agree that: (i) the control agreement regarding deposit accounts between the Obligor, The Bank of Nova Scotia and Bankers Trust Company (now Deutsche Bank Trust
44
Company Americas), a predecessor in interest of the Collateral Agent, dated as of May 10, 2002 (the “Existing Control Agreement”), which control agreement has been assigned by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to the Collateral Agent by an agreement of even date herewith, constitutes a control agreement for the purposes of this Section 4.28; and (ii) the Existing Control Agreement is confirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. If any bank with which such account is maintained refuses to, or does not, enter into such a control agreement, the Obligor shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days of the date of the respective request) close the respective account and transfer all balances therein to another account meeting the requirements of this Section 4.28 (with respect to which a “control agreement” meeting the foregoing requirements has been entered into and is in full force and effect). If any bank with which an account is maintained refuses to subordinate all of its claims with respect to such account to the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein on terms satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, then the Collateral Agent, at its option, may (x) require that such account be terminated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence or (y) agree to a control agreement without such subordination, provided that in such event the Collateral Agent may at any time, at its option, subsequently require that such account be terminated (within 30 days after notice from the Collateral Agent) in accordance with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence.
(2) The Obligor shall not establish any new demand, time, savings, passbook or similar accounts, except for accounts established and maintained with banks and meeting the requirements of Section 4.28(1). At the time such an account is established, to the extent so requested by the Collateral Agent, the appropriate control agreement shall be executed in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.28(1) and the Obligor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Schedule 4.28 containing the relevant information with respect to the respective account and the bank with which the same is established.
(3) The Collateral Agent (x) shall not deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined in the Form of Control Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “B”) pursuant to any “control agreement” (other than with respect to any account maintained with the Collateral Agent) to any bank with which the Obligor has established an account unless an Event of Default then exists and is continuing, (y) shall not give instructions (as contemplated in the first sentence of Section 2(1) of Exhibit “B”) as to the withdrawal or disposition of funds in any account in any such “control agreement” (other than with respect to any account maintained with the Collateral Agent) unless an Event of Default then exists and is continuing, and (z) shall provide the Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions in the Amended and Restated Credit
45
Agreement with a copy of any such Notice of Exclusive Control delivered pursuant to any such “control agreement”.

Section 5.2 Discharge.
(1) The Security Interest shall be discharged upon, but only upon the Termination Date. Upon discharge of the Security Interest and at the request and expense of the Obligor, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Obligor such releases, discharges, financing statements and other documents or instruments as the Obligor may reasonably require and transfer and deliver to the Obligor the Collateral in its possession.
(2) So long as no payment default on any of the Obligations is in existence or would exist after the application of proceeds as provided below, the Collateral Agent shall, at the request of the Obligor, release any or all of the Collateral, provided that (x) such release is permitted by the terms of the Secured Debt Agreements or otherwise has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders or, to the extent required, all of the Lenders and (y) the proceeds of
47
such Collateral are applied to the extent required pursuant to the respective Secured Debt Agreements or any consent or waiver with respect thereto. Furthermore, upon the release of the Obligor from the Guarantee in accordance with the provisions thereof, the Obligor (and the Collateral at such time assigned by the Obligor pursuant hereto) shall be released from this security agreement.
(3) At any time that the Obligor desires that the Collateral Agent take any action to give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to the foregoing Section 5.2(1) or Section 5.2(2), it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by an authorized officer stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to Section 5.2(1) or Section 5.2(2); provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event the Obligor sells Units or other Inventory in the ordinary course as (and to the extent) permitted elsewhere in the Credit Documents, the Obligor shall not be required to deliver a certificate in connection therewith and the release of such Units or other Inventory shall be effected as contemplated by the Bailee Agreement and Custodian Agreement. In the event that any part of the Collateral is released as provided in Section 5.2(2), the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the Obligor, will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Obligor or its designee (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold and as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this security agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted by this Section 5.2. Upon any release of Collateral pursuant to Section 5.2(1) or Section 5.2(2), none of the Secured Creditors shall have any continuing right or interest in such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof.
(4) To the extent not otherwise provided in preceding clauses, the Collateral Agent shall without the consent of any Secured Creditor, release all or any portion of the Collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations to the extent provided in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture.
Section 5.3 No Merger, Survival of Representations and Warranties.
This security agreement shall not operate by way of merger of any of the Obligations and no judgment recovered by the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Creditors shall operate by way of merger of, or in any way affect, the Security Interest, which is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other security now or hereafter held by the Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors in respect of the Obligations. The representations and warranties herein set forth or contained in any certificates or documents delivered to the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors pursuant to this security agreement or the other Credit Documents shall not merge in or be prejudiced by and shall survive any accommodation under
48
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the Security Interest has been discharged in accordance with Section 5.2.
Section 5.4 Further Assurances.
The Obligor shall from time to time, whether before or after the Security Interest shall have become enforceable, do all acts and things and execute and deliver all transfers, assignments and instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require for (i) protecting the Collateral, (ii) perfecting the Security Interest, and (iii) exercising all powers, authorities and discretions conferred upon the Collateral Agent pursuant to or in connection with this security agreement, or the other Credit Documents. The Obligor shall, from time to time after the Security Interest has become enforceable, do all acts and things and execute and deliver all transfers, assignments and instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require for facilitating the sale or other disposition of the Collateral in connection with its realization.
Section 5.5 Supplemental Security.
This security agreement is in addition and without prejudice to and supplemental to all other security now held or which may hereafter be held by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors.
Section 5.6 Successors and Assigns.
This security agreement shall be binding upon the Obligor, its successors and assigns, and shall enure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns. All rights of the Collateral Agent shall be assignable and in any action brought by an assignee to enforce any such right, the Obligor shall not assert against the assignee any claim or defence which the Obligor now has or hereafter may have against the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Creditors.
Section 5.7 Severability.
If any provision of this security agreement is deemed by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or void, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 5.8 Waivers, etc.
None of the terms and conditions of this security agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents to which the Obligor is a party may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner except as provided in the U.S. Security Agreement, provided that for purposes of this Section 5.8 the term “Assignor” as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement means “Obligor” as defined herein. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to derogate from the provisions contained in Section 5.2 of this security agreement.
49
Section 5.9 Collateral Agent and/or Secured Creditors not a Partner or Limited Liability Company Member
(1) Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor liable as a member of any limited liability company, unlimited liability company or partnership and neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Creditor by virtue of this security agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company, unlimited liability company or partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Collateral Agent shall become the absolute owner of Collateral consisting of the entire interest owned by the Obligor in a limited liability company, unlimited liability company or partnership pursuant hereto, this security agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Creditor and/or the Obligor.
(2) Except as provided in the last sentence of Section 5.9(1), the Collateral Agent, by accepting this security agreement, did not intend to become a member of any limited liability company, unlimited liability company or partnership or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to the Obligor or any limited liability company, unlimited liability company or partnership either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred. The Collateral Agent shall have only those powers set forth herein and the Secured Creditors shall assume none of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company, unlimited liability company or partnership or the Obligor except as provided in the last sentence of Section 5.9(1).
(3) The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of the Obligor as a result of the Security Interest hereby granted.
(4) The acceptance by the Collateral Agent of this security agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral.
Section 5.10 Application of Proceeds.
(1) All monies collected by the Collateral Agent upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, together with all other monies received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Collateral Document which requires proceeds of Collateral to be applied in accordance with this security
50
agreement, shall be applied and payments shall be made in accordance with Section 7.4 of the U.S. Security Agreement.
(2) It is understood that the Obligor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between (x) the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and (y) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Obligations.
Section 5.11 Indemnity.
(1) The Obligor agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Creditor that is an indemnitee under Section 6 of Annex N to the U.S. Security Agreement and their respective successors, permitted assigns, employees, affiliates and agents (referred to individually as “Indemnitee”, and collectively as “Indemnitees”) harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments and any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other professionals) (for the purposes of this Section 5.11 the foregoing are collectively called “expenses”) of whatsoever kind and nature imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees in any way relating to or arising out of this security agreement, any other Secured Debt Agreement to which the Obligor is a party or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith to which the Obligor is a party or in any other way connected with the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms of, or the preservation of any rights hereunder or thereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchase, delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition, or use of the Collateral (including latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable), the violation of laws any country, state, province or other Governmental Entity, any tort (including claims arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury or death of any Person (including any Indemnitee), or property damage), or contract claim; provided that no Indemnitee shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.11(1) for losses, damages or liabilities to the extent caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and unappealable decision). The Obligor agrees that upon written notice by any Indemnitee of the assertion of such liability, obligation, damage, injury, penalty, claim, demand, action, suit or judgement, the Obligor shall assume full responsibility for the defence thereof. Each Indemnitee agrees to use its best efforts to promptly notify the Obligor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has knowledge.
(2) Without limiting the application of Section 5.11(1), the Obligor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with the creation,
51
preservation or protection of the Collateral Agent’s Liens on, and the Security Interest in, the Collateral, including all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Collateral, premiums for insurance paid by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Collateral.
(3) Without limiting the application of Section 5.11(1) or Section 5.11(2), the Obligor agrees to pay, indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any loss, costs, damages and expenses which such Indemnitee may suffer, expend or incur in consequence of or growing out of any misrepresentation by the Obligor in this security agreement, any other Secured Debt Agreement to which the Obligor is a party or in any writing contemplated by or made or delivered pursuant to or in connection with this security agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement to which the Obligor is a party.
(4) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Obligor under this Section 5.11 are unenforceable for any reason, the Obligor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.
Section 5.12 Indemnity Obligations Secured by Collateral; Survival.
Any amounts paid by any Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. The indemnity obligations of the Obligor contained in Section 5.11 and Section 5.12 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all of the other Obligations and notwithstanding the full payment of all the Notes issued and Loans made, under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the termination of all Interest Rate Agreements entered into with the Interest Rate Creditors, the full repayment of all the outstanding Senior Secured Notes and the payment of all other Obligations and notwithstanding the discharge thereof.
Section 5.13 Collateral Agent.
By accepting the benefits of this security agreement, each Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the rights and obligations of the Collateral Agent shall be as set forth in this security agreement and in Annex N to the U.S. Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.8 of this security agreement or Section 11.10 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, this Section 5.13, and the duties and obligations of the Collateral Agent
52
set forth in this Section 5.13, may not be amended or modified without the consent of the Collateral Agent.
Section 5.14 Governing Law.
This security agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

Section 5.16 Acknowledgement and Confirmation
The Obligor hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees to and with the Collateral Agent and each of the First Lien Creditors that:
(1) it has been provided with and has reviewed the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and hereby consents to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement;
(2) it has been provided with and has reviewed the terms and conditions of this security agreement and hereby consents to the terms and conditions of this security agreement;

(4) the Guarantee and this security agreement are amendments and restatements of the Canadian Subsidiaries Guaranty and the Original Canadian Security Agreement, respectively, and do not constitute novations thereof, and the obligations thereunder are in full force and effect notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the amendment and restatement of the Original Canadian Security Agreement pursuant to this security agreement and each Credit Document to which it is a party continues

FORM OF CONTROL AGREEMENT REGARDING DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS
Agreement (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of l, among l (the “Obligor”), Bank of America, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and l (the “Deposit Account Bank”), as the bank with which one or more accounts are maintained by the Obligor (with all such accounts now or at any time in the future maintained by the Obligor with the Deposit Account Bank being herein called the “Deposit Accounts”).
RECITALS:
(a) the Obligor and the Collateral Agent have entered into an amended and restated security agreement dated as of March 26, 2002, amended and restated as of August 18, 2003 and amended and restated as of June 28, 2005, (as the same may be further amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), under which, among other things, in order to secure the payment of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), the Obligor has granted a security interest to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Security Agreement) in all of the right, title and interest of the Obligor in and into, inter alia, any and all accounts and in all moneys, securities, instruments and other investments deposited therein from time to time (collectively, herein called the “Collateral”); and
(b) the Obligor desires that the Deposit Account Bank enter into this Agreement in order to provide for the rights of the parties under this Agreement with respect to its Deposit Accounts;
In consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1 Obligor’s Dealings with Deposit Accounts; Notice of Exclusive Control.
Until the Deposit Account Bank shall have received from the Collateral Agent a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below), the Obligor shall be entitled to present items drawn on and otherwise to withdraw or direct the disposition of funds from the Deposit Accounts and give instructions in respect of the Deposit Accounts; provided, however, that the Obligor may not, and the Deposit Account
Bank agrees that it shall not permit the Obligor to, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, close any Deposit Account. If the Collateral Agent shall give to the Deposit Account Bank a notice of the Collateral Agent’s exclusive control of the Deposit Accounts, which notice states that it is a “Notice of Exclusive Control” (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”), only the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to withdraw funds from the Deposit Accounts, to give any instructions in respect of the Deposit Accounts and any funds held therein or credited thereto or otherwise to deal with the Deposit Accounts.
Section 2 Collateral Agent’s Right To Give Instructions As To Deposit Accounts.
(1) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any separate agreement that the Obligor may have with the Deposit Account Bank, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for purposes of this Agreement, at any time to give the Deposit Account Bank instructions as to the withdrawal or disposition of any funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account, or as to any other matters relating to any Deposit Account or any other Collateral, without further consent from the Obligor. The Obligor hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Deposit Account Bank, and the Deposit Account Bank hereby agrees, to comply with any such instructions from the Collateral Agent without any further consent from the Obligor. Such instructions may include the giving of stop payment orders for any items being presented to any Deposit Account for payment. The Deposit Account Bank shall be fully entitled to rely on, and shall comply with, such instructions from the Collateral Agent even if such instructions are contrary to any instructions or demands that the Obligor may give to the Deposit Account Bank. In case of any conflict between instructions received by the Deposit Account Bank from the Collateral Agent and the Obligor, the instructions from the Collateral Agent shall prevail.
(2) It is understood and agreed that the Deposit Account Bank’s duty to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent regarding the Deposit Accounts is absolute, and the Deposit Account Bank shall be under no duty or obligation, nor shall it have the authority, to inquire or determine whether or not such instructions are in accordance with the Security Agreement or any other Credit Document (as defined in the Security Agreement), nor seek confirmation thereof from the Obligor or any other Person (as defined in the Security Agreement).
Section 3 Obligor’s Exculpation And Indemnification Of Depository Bank.
2
The Obligor hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Deposit Account Bank to follow instructions from the Collateral Agent regarding the Deposit Accounts even if the result of following such instructions from the Collateral Agent is that the Deposit Account Bank dishonours items presented for payment from any Deposit Account. The Obligor further confirms that the Deposit Account Bank shall have no liability to the Obligor for wrongful dishonour of such items in following such instructions from the Collateral Agent. The Deposit Account Bank shall have no duty to inquire or determine whether the Obligor’s obligations to the Collateral Agent are in default or whether the Collateral Agent is entitled, under any separate agreement between the Obligor and the Collateral Agent, to give any such instructions. The Obligor further agrees to be responsible for the Deposit Account Bank’s customary charges and to indemnify the Deposit Account Bank from and to hold the Deposit Account Bank harmless against any loss, cost or expense that the Deposit Account Bank may sustain or incur in acting upon instructions which the Deposit Account Bank believes in good faith to be instructions from the Collateral Agent.
Section 4 Subordination of Security Interests; Deposit Account Bank’s Recourse to Deposit Accounts.
The Deposit Account Bank hereby subordinates any claims and security interests it may have against, or with respect to, any Deposit Account at any time established or maintained with it by the Obligor (including any amounts, investments, instruments or other Collateral from time to time on deposit therein) to the security interests of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Creditors) therein, and agrees that no amounts shall be charged by it to, or withheld or set-off or otherwise recouped by it from, any Deposit Account of the Obligor or any amounts, investments, instruments or other Collateral from time to time on deposit therein; provided that the Deposit Account Bank may, however, from time to time debit the Deposit Accounts for any of its customary charges in maintaining the Deposit Accounts or for reimbursement for the reversal of any provisional credits granted by the Deposit Account Bank to any Deposit Account, to the extent, in each case, that the Obligor has not separately paid or reimbursed the Deposit Account Bank therefor.(1)
Section 5 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Deposit Account Bank.
(1) If the respective Deposit Account Bank is unwilling to agree to this paragraph, then the Collateral Agent may take the action described in Section 4.28 of the Security Agreement.
3
The Deposit Account Bank represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent that:
(a) All account agreements in respect of each Deposit Account in existence on the date hereof are listed on Annex A hereto and copies of all such account agreements have been furnished to the Collateral Agent. The Deposit Account Bank will promptly furnish to the Collateral Agent a copy of the account agreement for each Deposit Account hereafter established by the Deposit Account Bank for the Obligor.
(b) The Deposit Account Bank has not entered and will not enter, into any agreement with any other Person by which the Deposit Account Bank is obligated to comply with instructions from such other Person as to the disposition of funds from any Deposit Account or other dealings with any Deposit Account or other of the Collateral.
(c) On the date hereof the Deposit Account Bank maintains no Deposit Accounts for the Obligor other than the Deposit Accounts specifically identified in Annex A hereto.
(d) Any items or funds received by the Deposit Account Bank for the Obligor’s account will be credited to said Deposit Accounts specified in paragraph (c) above or to any other Deposit Accounts hereafter established by the Deposit Account Bank for the Obligor in accordance with this Agreement.
(e) The Deposit Account Bank will promptly notify the Collateral Agent of each Deposit Account hereafter established by the Deposit Account Bank for the Obligor (which notice shall specify the account number of such Deposit Account and the location at which the Deposit Account is maintained), and each such new Deposit Account shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.
Section 6 Deposit Account Statements and Information.
The Deposit Account Bank agrees, and is hereby authorized and instructed by the Obligor, to furnish to the Collateral Agent at its address indicated below copies of all account statements and other information relating to each Deposit Account that the Deposit Account Bank sends to the Obligor and to disclose to the Collateral Agent all information requested by the Collateral Agent regarding any Deposit Account.
4
Section 7 Conflicting Agreements.
This Agreement shall have control over any conflicting agreement between the Deposit Account Bank and the Obligor.
Section 8 Merger or Consolidation of Deposit Account Bank.
Without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, any bank into which the Deposit Account Bank may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any bank resulting from any merger to which the Deposit Account Bank shall be a party, shall be the successor of the Deposit Account Bank hereunder and shall be bound by all provisions hereof which are binding upon the Deposit Account Bank and shall be deemed to affirm as to itself all representations and warranties of the Deposit Account Bank contained herein.
