As of the date hereof and as of the date any Cash Consideration or

pursuant to this Agreement, the Grantor represents and warrants to the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that:
Section 3.01 Title and Authority. The Grantor has (or, in the case
-------------------
of after-acquired Collateral, on the date of its delivery to the Collateral
Agent, will have) good and valid rights in and title to the Collateral with
respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has
(or, in the case of after-acquired Collateral, on the date of its delivery to
the Collateral Agent, will have) full power and authority to grant to the
Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Collateral pursuant hereto and
has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of
any other Person, other than any consent or approval which has been obtained.
Section 3.02 Filings. The Grantor has (or promptly after the Closing
-------
Date, but in no event later than the date Collateral is first delivered to the
Collateral Agent, will have) made all the filings, recordings and registrations
listed on Schedule 3.02A, which are the only filings, recordings and
registrations necessary to create, preserve, perfect and protect the Security
Interest under all Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the PPSA) in
all applicable jurisdictions in Canada, and no further or subsequent filing,
refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration, of the
filings, recordings and reregistrations listed on Schedule 3.02A is necessary
under any such Applicable Law in any such applicable jurisdiction, except as
provided under Applicable Law with respect to the filing, recording or
registration of continuation statements, financing change statements or
analogous documents and except that additional filings, recordings or
registrations may be necessary if the Grantor thereafter changes its name,
identity or corporate structure or the location of its places of business, its
chief executive office, its chief place of business or the Collateral or
thereafter transfers all or any part of the Collateral, with or without the
prior consent of the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing or of Section 4.04, simultaneously with delivery of any Permitted Non-
Cash Consideration to the Collateral Agent or as soon thereafter as practicable,
the Grantor shall have taken all such actions and made all such filings,
recordings and registrations that are necessary in order to enable the
Collateral Agent to enforce directly against the applicable FMN
6
Debtor its obligations in respect of such Permitted Non-Cash Consideration and
to exercise remedies under the applicable FMN Mortgage, without the necessity of
any further consent or approval of the Grantor.
Section 3.03 Validity of Security Interest. The Security Interest
-----------------------------
constitutes (or, in the case of after-acquired Collateral, will on the date of
delivery of such after-acquired Collateral to the Collateral Agent constitute)
(a) a legal and valid security interest in all the Collateral securing the
payment and performance of the Obligations and (b) a perfected security interest

possession of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (assuming continuing
possession by the Collateral Agent) or (ii) filing, recording or registering a
financing statement or analogous document under the PPSA or any other Applicable
Law in any applicable jurisdiction in Canada. Except as otherwise agreed from

Permitted Lien.
Section 3.04 Absence of Other Liens. The Collateral is owned by the
----------------------
Grantor free and clear of any Lien (other than the Security Interest and any
Permitted Lien). Other than as contemplated hereby, the Grantor has not filed

permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings,
recordings or registrations have been made under all Applicable Laws in all
applicable jurisdictions in Canada or otherwise which are required in order for
the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a
legal, valid and perfected Lien in all the Collateral in which a Lien may be
perfected or by which the priority of the Lien may be protected under such
Applicable Law by filing, recording or registering this Agreement, any security
documentation delivered by the Grantor to the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto
or any by the Grantor to the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any financing
statement or similar document.

otherwise; (ii) to facilitate the creation and registration of appropriate
security in all appropriate jurisdictions; or (iii) if the Grantor merges or

rights and powers accruing to the owner of any Permitted Non-Cash Consideration

Agent effect such withdrawal not less than 10 Business Days prior to the

amount in the Cash Collateral Account after such retention and after any
application pursuant to Section 5.01(d) to prepayment of the Notes on such
Interest Date. Upon such written direction of the Grantor the Collateral Agent

ARTICLE VI. REMEDIES
Section 6.01 Remedies upon Default. (a) Upon the occurrence and
---------------------
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantor will deliver each
item of Collateral at the time in the possession of the Grantor to the
Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall
have the right (subject to applicable law), with or without legal process and
with or without previous notice or demand for performance, to exercise, in
addition to all other rights granted to the Collateral Agent in this Agreement,
any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the PPSA or other
Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Collateral Agent (and, in the case of Section 6.01(vi), any other Secured Party)
may at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default take any one or more of the following
actions:
(i) enter into possession of the Collateral;
(ii) commence proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for
sale or foreclosure of all or any part of the Collateral;
(iii) file proofs of claim and any other documents to establish its
claims in any proceeding relative to the Grantor;
(iv) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral,
and/or sell, give one or more options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of
and deliver all or any part of the Collateral (or contract to do any of the
foregoing), at public or private sale or sales, at any broker's board or on
any securities exchange or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as the
Collateral Agent may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best,
for cash or on credit or future delivery without assumption of any credit
risk;
(v) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or
otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part of any
property in addition to the Collateral securing any of the Obligations, or
compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than
the original period) any obligations of any nature of any Person with
respect to any such property; and/or
25
(vi) to the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase any or all of
the Collateral, whether in connection with a sale made under the power of
sale herein contained or pursuant to judicial proceedings or otherwise.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and, in
particular, of Sections 6.01(l)(iv) and 6.01(l)(vi), the Collateral Agent shall
be authorized at any offer or sale of any of the Collateral (if it deems it
advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons
who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their
own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale
thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have
the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof
the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such public or private sale
shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the
part of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by
law) all rights or equity of redemption, stay and appraisal which the Grantor
now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute
now existing or hereafter enacted. At any such public or private sale, the
Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety
or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute
discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any
sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the
fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The
Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice,
be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any
sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future
delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until
the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the
Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case
of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any
sale made pursuant to this Section 6.01 to any Secured Party, the Collateral or
any part thereof purchased by any such Secured Party shall be free (to the
extent permitted by law) from any right or equity of redemption, stay, valuation
or appraisal on the part of the Grantor (all said rights being also hereby
waived and released to the extent permitted by law). To the extent permitted by
law, such Secured Party may make payment on account of such sale by using any
claim under any Loan Document then due and payable to such Secured Party from
the Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may,
upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
property without further accountability to the Grantor therefor. For purposes
hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof
shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry
out such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Grantor shall not be entitled
to the return of the Collateral or any
26
portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the
Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default
shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.
(c) The Collateral Agent may take any or all of the foregoing actions
without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except as required by law) to or upon the
Grantor or any other Person, and the Grantor hereby waives each such demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement and notice to the extent permitted by
applicable law.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any
rights hereunder. The Grantor will remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds from any proceeding or of any collection, receipt, appropriation,
realization, sale, other disposition or delivery of the Collateral are
insufficient to pay and satisfy the Obligations.
Section 6.02 Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall
-----------------------
apply the proceeds from any proceeding or of any collection, receipt,
appropriation, realization, sale, other disposition or delivery of any of the
Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash and any amounts paid to
the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Mortgage, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the
Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in
connection with this Agreement, any of the Mortgages or any of the
Obligations or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the
Collateral, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses
of its agents, experts and one legal counsel on a solicitor and his own
client basis for it and the holders of the Notes (plus any necessary local
counsel), the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent
hereunder or under any Mortgage on behalf of the Grantor and any other
costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder or under any Mortgage;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations in such order as the
Collateral Agent may elect (the amounts so applied to be distributed among
the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of such
Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and
27
THIRD, after payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount
required by applicable law, to the Grantor or its successors, or to
whomsoever may lawfully be entitled to receive the same.
The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of
application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall apply such
-------- -------
proceeds, moneys or balances within 6 months of receipt thereof (such 6 months
to be subject to extension during any period for which the Collateral Agent is
not permitted by Applicable Law or this Agreement to apply such proceeds, moneys
or balances). Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent
(including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial
proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the
sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the
Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to
see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the
Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication thereof.
ARTICLE VII. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF COLLATERAL AGENT
SECTION 7.01. Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may execute
--------------------
any of its duties under any Loan Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-
fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel or other advisors concerning all
matters pertaining to its duties and rights hereunder. The Collateral Agent
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care except to the extent
otherwise expressly required by Section 7.02 or 8.03.
SECTION 7.02. Powers; General Immunity. (a) Each Secured Party, by
------------------------
its acquisition of any Note, irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take
such action on such Secured Party's behalf and to exercise such powers under the
Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to it by the terms thereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral
Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities which are expressly
specified in the Loan Documents and it may perform such duties by or through its
agents or employees. The duties of the Collateral Agent shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature; and the Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of
any Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Secured Party; and
nothing in any of the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or
shall be so construed as to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in
respect of any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein.
28
(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured
Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
collectability or sufficiency of any of the Loan Documents or for any Liens or
Guaranties granted by, or purported to be granted by, any of the Loan Documents,
or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or
therein or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other
statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in
connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Collateral Agent to
any Secured Party or by or on behalf of Buyer, Newco, Realco or the Grantor, to
the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, or be required to ascertain or
inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or of the
existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
neither the Collateral Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, investigators, consultants, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be
liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted under any of the
Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith unless, but only to the
extent, caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the
Collateral Agent shall request instructions with respect to any act or action
(including the failure to take an action) in connection with any of the Loan
Documents, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or
taking such action unless and until it shall have received instructions from the
Required Mortgage Lenders. Without prejudice to the generality of the
foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected
in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the
Grantor or its Affiliates), accountants, experts and other professional advisors
selected by it; and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action
whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent
acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under any Loan Document
in accordance with the instructions of the Required Mortgage Lenders. The
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any power,
discretion or authority vested in it under the Loan Documents unless and until
it has obtained the instructions of Required Mortgage Lenders.
(d) The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of
the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the
Collateral Agent in its individual capacity as a Secured Party. With respect to
any Notes that it holds, the Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though
it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder. The
Collateral Agent and its Affiliates
29
may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, financial advisory or any other business with the Grantor or any
Affiliate of the Grantor as if it were not performing the duties specified
herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Grantor or any
Affiliate of the Grantor without having to account for the same to the Secured
Parties.
(e) Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may deem and
treat the holder of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes. Any
request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such
request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of that
Note or of any Note issued in exchange therefor.
(f) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, on the Register and the copies of the Register, in
each case as provided to the Collateral Agent by the Grantor pursuant to Section
4.06, for purposes of determining the names and addresses of the holders of the
Notes.
Section 7.03 Non-Reliance on Agent. Each Secured Party, by its
---------------------
acquisition of any Note, expressly acknowledges that neither the Collateral
Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act
by the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by such Person. The Collateral Agent shall not have
any duty or responsibility either initially or on a continuing basis to make any
such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Secured Parties or to
provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information with respect
thereto, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect
to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the
Secured Parties.
Section 7.04 Determinations Pursuant to Loan Documents. In each
-----------------------------------------
circumstance where, under any provision of any Loan Document, the Collateral
Agent shall have the right to grant or withhold any consent, exercise any
remedy, make any determination or direct any action under such Loan Document,
the Collateral Agent shall act in respect of such consent, exercise of remedies,
determination or action, as the case may be, only with the consent of and at the
direction of the Required Mortgage Lenders; provided, however, that (i) no such
-------- -------
consent of the Required Mortgage Lenders shall be required with respect to any
consent, determination or other matter that is, in the Collateral Agent's
reasonable judgment, ministerial or administrative in nature or provided for in
such Loan Document, (ii) the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of
all of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any further consent from
any Secured Party, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to
30
release the security interests and Liens imposed by the Mortgage Documents in
connection with any dispositions permitted by the terms of the Mortgage
Documents or as may be required by Applicable Law and (iii) the Collateral Agent
may in its discretion take such action as it deems necessary, without the
consent or direction of the Required Mortgage Lenders, if in the good faith
determination of the Collateral Agent the interests of the Secured Parties would
be adversely affected were such action to be delayed pending the obtaining of
such consent or direction. In each circumstance where any consent of or
direction from the Required Mortgage Lenders is required, the Collateral Agent
shall send to the Secured Parties a notice setting forth a description in
reasonable detail of the matter as to which consent or direction is requested
and the Collateral Agent's proposed course of action with respect thereto. In
the event the Collateral Agent shall not have received a response from any
Secured Party within five Business Days after the giving of such notice (unless
such notice is given by mail, in which case 10 Business Days after the giving of
such notice), such Secured Party shall be deemed to have agreed to the course of
action proposed by the Collateral Agent, provided that such notice states that a
failure to respond shall have the consequences specified in this sentence.
Section 7.05 Resignation of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral
-----------------------------------
Agent may at any time, by giving 30 days' prior written notice to the Grantor,
resign and be discharged from the responsibilities hereby created, such
resignation to become effective upon the earlier of (i) the acceptance of the
appointment of a successor pursuant to the next sentence of this Section or (ii)
the appointment of a successor by the Required Mortgage Lenders and the
acceptance of such appointment by such successor. If no successor shall be
appointed and approved pursuant to clause (ii) above within 30 days after the
date of any such resignation, the Collateral Agent may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor to act until a successor shall
have been appointed by the Required Mortgage Lenders as above provided or may,
on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Any
successor Collateral Agent shall be (A) a Canadian chartered bank or any loan or
trust company organized under the laws of Canada or any province thereof with an
office in Toronto, Ontario, having a combined capital, surplus and undivided
profits (less any undivided losses), as of its last annual audited financial
statements, not less than C$250,000,000 and being authorized to perform the
functions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (who, if appointed after the fourth
anniversary of the Closing Date, shall be entitled to receive reasonable fees
from the Grantor for its services as Collateral Agent) or (B) the holder of at
least a majority of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding
plus all accrued interest thereon from the immediately preceding Interest Date.
ARTICLE VII MISCELLANEOUS
31
Section 8.01 Security Interest Absolute; Release of Security
-----------------------------------------------
Interest. (a) All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security
Interest and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the
Notes (or any Guaranty endorsed thereon), any Mortgage, any agreement with
respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating
to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment
of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Notes (or any
Guaranty endorsed thereon), any Mortgage or any other agreement or instrument,
(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or
any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any
guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any
other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement,
except the payment in full of the Obligations and except for any matter approved
in writing by, subject to paragraph 14 of the Notes, the Required Mortgage
Lenders and the Collateral Agent.
(b) The consent or approval of any Secured Party shall not be
required for the release of any Collateral by the Collateral Agent to the
Grantor in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement.
Section 8.02 Successors. Whenever in this Agreement any of the
----------
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
successors of such party (including, in the case of the Collateral Agent, any
successor Collateral Agent); and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on
behalf of the Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors
(including, in the case of the Collateral Agent, any successor Collateral
Agent).
Section 8.03 Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. (a) The
-------------------------------------------
Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of the
Grantor, with power of substitution and in the Grantor's name or otherwise, for
the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any
action and executing any instrument which the Collateral Agent may reasonably
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, including, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the power to
(a) receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances,
checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the
Collateral or any part thereof; (b) demand, collect, receive payment of, give
receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral;
(c) commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or
in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize
on all
32
or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral;
(d) settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or
proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; and (e) use, sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all
or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry
out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section or in this Agreement
-------- -------
shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any
commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or
to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the
moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby,
and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent with respect
to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give rise to any defense,
counterclaim or offset in favor of the Grantor or to any claim or action against
the Collateral Agent, other than any such matter to the extent arising out of
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent. It is
understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent
and attorney-in-fact of the Grantor for the purposes set forth above is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall in no
event relieve the Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any
Mortgage with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any
obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to proceed in any
particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any
way limit the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any other
or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter,
whether hereunder, by law or otherwise; provided, however, that the Collateral
-------- -------
Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession or under its control shall be
to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such Collateral. The
Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have used reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if the Collateral Agent
deals with such Collateral in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with
similar property for its own account and, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Collateral Agent need not take any steps to preserve rights against any
other Person (including prior parties).
(b) The Grantor also authorizes the Collateral Agent, at any time and
from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral in connection with any
sale provided for in Section 6.01 hereof.
Section 8.04 Collateral Agent's Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The
--------------------------------------------
Grantor will pay upon demand to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all
33
reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel
on a solicitor and his own client basis for it and the holders of the Notes
(plus any necessary local counsel), of any experts or agents and of any
financial institution with which any Cash Collateral Account is maintained,
which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration
of the Mortgage Documents, (ii) the custody, preservation or investment of, or
the sale of, collection from or other realization upon any of the Collateral,
(iii) the exercise, enforcement or protection of any of the rights of the
Collateral Agent (hereunder, under any Mortgage or otherwise) or (iv) the
failure of the Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, other
than any such expenses to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent. If the Grantor fails to perform or
observe any of the provisions hereof, then the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled, but shall have no obligation, to perform or observe or otherwise cause
the performance or observance of any of the provisions hereof.
(b) The Grantor will indemnify the Collateral Agent against, and hold
it harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses on a solicitor and his
own client basis, incurred by or asserted against it arising out of, in any way
connected with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of any
Mortgage Document, or any exercise of remedies thereunder, or any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating hereto or to the Collateral or
any Mortgage or Mortgaged Property, whether or not a party thereto, other than,
and only to the extent, caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Collateral Agent.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be
additional Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall remain operative
and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement,
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, any Note or any
Mortgage, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent.
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor.
Section 8.05 Waivers, Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the
------------------
Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder
are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and in any order, and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the
Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless
34
the same shall be permitted by Section 8.05(b), and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. No notice or demand on the Grantor in any case shall entitle the Grantor
to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor with respect to which such
waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required
in accordance with paragraph 14 of the Notes.
Section 8.06 Termination. This Agreement (including the
-----------
representations and warranties herein) and the Security Interest shall terminate
when and only when all the Obligations have been paid in full. Upon such
termination, the Collateral Agent shall forthwith assign, transfer and deliver
any Collateral in the possession or under the control of the Collateral Agent
(including any Collateral in any Cash Collateral Account) to or on order of the
Grantor and, at the Grantor's expense, execute and deliver to the Grantor such
documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
Any execution and delivery of such documents shall be without recourse to or
warranty by the Collateral Agent.
Section 8.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is
------------
inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstances shall not have
the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or unenforceable
in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or
provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent
whatsoever. The invalidity of any one or more phrases, sentences, clauses,
Sections or subsections of this Agreement shall not affect the remaining
portions of this Agreement.
Section 8.08 Notices. All notices and other communications made in
-------
connection with this Agreement shall be in writing. Any notice or other

operate to prejudice the security constituted by this Agreement. This Agreement
and the Security Interest are in addition to and not in substitution for any
other security now or hereafter held by the Collateral Agent in respect of the
Grantor, the Obligations or the Collateral. No remedy for the enforcement of
the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder will be exclusive of or dependent
on any other such remedy but any one or more of such remedies may from time to
time be exercise0d independently or in combination.
Section 8.15 Release of Information. The Grantor hereby authorizes

the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party to deliver a copy of this

the Secured Parties by Persons entitled thereto pursuant to the PPSA, any other
applicable statute and otherwise with the consent of the Grantor.
Section 8.16 Miscellaneous Provisions. Possession of an executed

to postpone the time for attachment of the Security Interest to any of the
Collateral.
