2
PPSA, Borrower shall continue to be liable for any Obligations remaining outstanding and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to pursue full payment thereof.

any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favour of, such obligor or its successors from Borrower, except in the case of

7
continuing, Collateral Agent may appoint or reappoint by instrument in writing, any Person or Persons, whether an officer or officers or an employee or employees of Collateral Agent or not, to be a receiver or receivers (hereinafter called a "Receiver", which term when used herein shall include a receiver and manager) of Collateral (including any interest, income or profits therefrom) and may remove any Receiver so appointed and appoint another in its stead. Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for its acts, be deemed the agent of Borrower and not of Collateral Agent, and Collateral Agent shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver, its servants, agents or employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing it, any such Receiver shall have power to take possession of Collateral, to preserve Collateral or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of Borrower and to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of Collateral. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including Borrower, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by Borrower wherein Collateral may be situated, maintain Collateral upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use Collateral directly in carrying on Borrower's business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on Borrower's business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of Requisite Lenders), all Money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out its appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to Collateral Agent for application in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of Collateral Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of Collateral Agent.
7.2 Exercise of Rights by Collateral Agent. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may, either directly or through its agents or nominees, exercise any or all of the powers and rights given to a Receiver by virtue of Section 7.1.
7.3 Taking Possession of Collateral. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may take possession of, collect, demand, xxx on, enforce, recover and receive Collateral and give valid and binding receipts and discharges therefor and in respect thereof and Collateral Agent may sell, licence, lease or otherwise dispose of Collateral in such manner, at such time or times and place or places, for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as to Collateral Agent may seem reasonable (acting on the instructions of Requisite Lenders). Collateral Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Collateral Agent, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto except solely to the extent Collateral Agent has thereto agreed under Section 9.20.
7.4 Rights and Remedies under PPSA. In addition to those rights granted herein and in any other agreement now or hereafter in effect between Borrower and Agents and Lenders and in addition to any other rights Collateral Agent may have at law or in equity, Collateral Agent shall have, both before and after an Event of Default, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA. However, Collateral Agent shall not be liable or accountable for any failure to exercise its remedies, take possession of, collect, enforce, realize, sell, lease, licence or otherwise dispose of Collateral or to institute any proceedings for such purposes. Furthermore, Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties to any Instrument or Chattel Paper whether Collateral or Proceeds and whether or not in Collateral Agent's possession and shall not be liable or accountable for failure to do so.
7.5 Cooperation of Borrower with respect to Taking Possession. After and during continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower acknowledges that Collateral Agent or any Receiver appointed by it may take possession of Collateral wherever it may be located and by any method permitted by law and Borrower agrees upon request from Collateral Agent or any such Receiver (each acting on the instructions of Requisite Lenders) to assemble and deliver possession of Collateral at such place or places as directed.
7.6 Costs. Borrower agrees to be liable for and to pay all costs, charges and expenses incurred by Collateral Agent or any Receiver appointed by it, whether directly or for services rendered (including reasonable legal and auditors' costs and other legal expenses and Receiver remuneration), in operating Borrower's accounts, in preparing or enforcing this Security Agreement, taking and maintaining custody of, preserving, repairing, processing, preparing for disposition and disposing of Collateral and in enforcing or collecting
8
indebtedness and all such costs, charges and expenses, together with any amounts owing as a result of any borrowing by Collateral Agent or any Receiver appointed by it, as permitted hereby, shall be a first priority security interest on the proceeds of realization, collection or disposition of Collateral and shall be secured hereby.
7.7 Notice of Sale. Collateral Agent will give Borrower such notice, if any, of the date, time and place of any public sale or of the date after which any private disposition of Collateral is to be made as may be required by the PPSA.
7.8 Intellectual Property Licence. For the purpose of enabling Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 7 hereof, Borrower hereby grants to Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive licence (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Borrower) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such licence access to all media in which any of the licenced items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
SECTION 8 — REINSTATEMENT
This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, should Borrower become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Borrower's property or assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference", "fraudulent conveyance," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Furthermore, Collateral Agent may (acting on the instructions of Requisite Lenders) remedy any default by Borrower hereunder or with respect to any Obligations in any manner without waiving the default remedied and without waiving any other prior or subsequent default by Borrower.

9.8 Remedies Cumulative. This Security Agreement and the security afforded hereby is in addition to and not in substitution for any other security now or hereafter held by Collateral Agent and is intended to be a continuing security agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations and any extensions or renewals thereof together with interest accruing thereon shall be paid in full.

11
Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange on the Judgment Conversion Date.
