The security interest with respect to each Restrictive Agreement will constitute a trust in favour of the Canadian Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to which the Grantor holds as trustee all Proceeds arising under or in connection with the Restrictive Agreement in trust for the Canadian Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on the following basis: (i) subject to the Credit Agreement, until the security interest is enforceable, the Grantor is entitled to receive all such Proceeds; and (ii) whenever the security interest is enforceable, (A) all rights of the Grantor to receive such Proceeds cease and all such Proceeds will be immediately paid over to the Canadian Collateral -10- Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and (B) the Grantor will take all actions requested by the Canadian Collateral Agent to collect and enforce payment and other rights arising under the Restrictive Agreement; (b) any Equipment that would otherwise be included in the Collateral (and such Equipment shall not be deemed to constitute a part of the Collateral) if such Equipment is subject to a Lien permitted by subsection 8.3(h) of the Credit Agreement (but only for so long as such Liens are in place); (c) any property that would otherwise be included in the Collateral (and such property shall not be deemed to constitute a part of the Collateral) if such property has been sold or otherwise transferred in connection with a Sale and Leaseback Transaction permitted under subsection 8.11 of the Credit Agreement, or is subject to any Liens permitted under subsection 8.3(n) of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the security interest of the Collateral Agent shall attach to any money, securities or other consideration received by the Grantor as consideration for the sale or other disposition of such property; (d) any Money, cash, cheques, other negotiable instrument, funds and other evidence of payment held in any Deposit Account of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) for the benefit of customers of the Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and (ii) in the nature of security deposit with respect to obligations for the benefit of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, which must be held for or returned to the applicable counterparty under applicable law or pursuant to Contractual Obligations; (e) any ULC Shares.

Upon the request of the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Grantor shall execute and deliver all such agreements and deliver all such other documents, opinions and certificates (including without limitation share certificates evidencing such ULC Shares) as the Canadian Collateral Agent may reasonably require to receive a perfected, first ranking priority Security Interest in the ULC Shares, in each case, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Canadian Collateral Agent.

None of the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Grantor under or pursuant to any Account Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. -23- 5.3 Pledged Stock. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the Grantor of the Canadian Collateral Agent's intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to subsection 5.3(b), the Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Stock (subject to the last two sentences of subsection 4.17 of this Agreement) and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Stock; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or such other action taken (other than in connection with a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement) which, in the Canadian Collateral Agent's reasonable judgment, would materially impair the Pledged Stock or the related rights or remedies of the Secured Parties or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the Grantor, (i) the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and make application thereof to the Obligations of the Grantor in such order as is provided in subsection 5.5, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Stock shall be registered in the name of the Canadian Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Canadian Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Stock as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by the Grantor or the Canadian Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Stock, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Canadian Collateral Agent may reasonably determine), all without liability (other than for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct) except to account for property actually received by it, but the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have no duty to the Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing, provided that the Canadian Collateral Agent shall not exercise any voting or other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock in any way that would constitute an exercise of the remedies described in subsection 5.6 other than in accordance with subsection 5.6. (c) The Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer or maker of any Pledged Securities pledged by the Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Canadian Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from the Grantor, and the Grantor agrees that each -24- Issuer or maker shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Canadian Collateral Agent. 5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Canadian Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties specified in subsection 5.1 with respect to payments of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have instructed the Grantor to do so, all Proceeds received by the Grantor consisting of cash, cheques and other Cash Equivalent items shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereto, or as applicable, segregated from other funds of the Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Grantor, be turned over to the Canadian Collateral Agent (or its agents appointed for purposes of perfection) in the exact form received by the Grantor (duly endorsed by the Grantor to the Canadian Collateral Agent if required). All Proceeds received by the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Canadian Collateral Agent in the relevant Canadian Collateral Proceeds Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Canadian Collateral Agent in such Canadian Collateral Proceeds Account (or by the Grantor in trust for the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations of the Grantor and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in subsection 5.5. 5.5 Application of Proceeds. 5.5.1 It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all Proceeds of the Collateral received by the Canadian Collateral Agent (whether from the Grantor or otherwise) shall be held by the Canadian Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations of the Grantor (whether matured or unmatured), and/or then or at any time thereafter may, in the sole discretion of the Canadian Collateral Agent, be applied by the Canadian Collateral Agent against the Obligations of the Grantor then due and owing as follows: (a) first, to the payment of all amounts owing the Canadian Collateral Agent for (i) any amounts advanced by the Canadian Collateral Agent in order to preserve the Collateral or preserve its security interest in the Collateral, (ii) in the event of the enforcement of any indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities of the Grantor, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, or of any exercise by the Canadian Collateral Agent of its rights hereunder, together with reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs and (iii) all amounts paid to which the Canadian Collateral Agent has the right to reimbursement under subsection 8.5; (b) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (a), to the payment of all amounts owing to any Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents in its capacity as such; -25- (c) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) and (b), an amount equal to the outstanding Primary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Parties as provided in subsection 5.5.2 hereof, with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Primary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; (d) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) through (c), an amount equal to the outstanding Secondary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Parties as provided in subsection 5.5.2 hereof, with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; (e) fifth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, ratably to any then remaining unpaid Obligations; and (f) sixth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) through (e), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement, to the Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 5.5.2 For purposes of this Agreement, (i) "Pro Rata Share" shall mean, when calculating a Secured Party's portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Party's Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, (ii) "Primary Obligations" shall mean (x) in the case of the Loan Document Obligations, all unpaid principal (or, face amount or Stated Amount, as applicable) of, premium, if any, fees and interest on, all Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations, the Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses due and owing pursuant to the Credit Agreement and (y) in the case of the Other Obligations, all amounts due under each Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Permitted Hedging Arrangement with an Other Creditor (other than indemnities, fees (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) and similar obligations and liabilities), and (iii) "Secondary Obligations" shall mean all Obligations other than Primary Obligations. 5.5.3 Each of the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Security Documents, agrees and acknowledges that if the Lender Creditors receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement (which shall only occur after all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations constituting Primary Obligations have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the Canadian Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit of the respective Lender Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement constituting Primary Obligations and after the application of all such cash security to the repayment of all Obligations owing to the respective Lender Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit, if there -26- remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Canadian Administrative Agent to the Canadian Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with subsection 5.5.1 hereof. 5.5.4 All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Creditors and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a "Representative") for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the Other Creditors. 5.5.5 For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this subsection 5.5.5, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agents and (ii) the Representative or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Other Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agents, each Representative and the Other Creditors agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Canadian Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has received written notice from a Lender Creditor or an Other Creditor to the contrary, the Administrative Agents and each Representative, in furnishing information pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Canadian Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding. Unless it has written notice from an Other Creditor to the contrary, the Canadian Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Permitted Hedging Arrangements with an Other Creditor are in existence. 5.5.6 The Grantor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations. 5.5.7 To the extent any other Loan Document requires Proceeds of Collateral under such Loan Document to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Canadian Collateral Agent or holder under such other Loan Document shall apply such Proceeds in accordance with this Section. 5.6 PPSA and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Canadian Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA, any other applicable law and in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except to the extent restricted by applicable law, the Canadian Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances, enter onto any premises where Collateral consisting of tangible personal property may be located, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part -27- thereof; and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right, except to the extent restricted by applicable law, upon any such sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Grantor further agrees, at the Canadian Collateral Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Canadian Collateral Agent at places which the Canadian Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this subsection 5.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations of the Grantor then due and owing, in the order of priority specified in subsection 5.5 above, and only after such application and after the payment by the Canadian Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Canadian Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, other than any such claims, damages and demands that may arise from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any of the Canadian Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, and (ii) if any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. (b) The Canadian Collateral Agent may appoint, remove or reappoint by instrument in writing, any Person or Persons, whether an officer or officers or an employee or employees of the Grantor or not, to be an interim receiver, receiver or receivers (hereinafter called a "Receiver", which term when used herein shall include a receiver and manager) of such Collateral (including any interest, income or profits therefrom). Any such Receiver shall act as agent for the Canadian Collateral Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral but otherwise and for all other purpose, be deemed the agent of the Grantor and not of the Canadian Collateral Agent. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver or its servants, agents or employees. The identity of the receiver, its replacement and its remuneration are within the sole and unfettered discretion of the Canadian Collateral Agent. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing it, any such Receiver shall (i) have such powers as have been granted to the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Section 5 and (ii) shall be entitled to exercise such powers at any time that such powers would otherwise be exercisable by the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Section 5, which powers shall include, but are not limited to, the power to take possession of the Collateral, to preserve the Collateral or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of the Grantor and to sell, lease, license -28- or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of the Collateral. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Grantor, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Grantor wherein the Collateral may be situate, maintain the Collateral upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use the Collateral directly in carrying on the Grantor's business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on the Grantor's business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by the Canadian Collateral Agent, all money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her/its appointment shall be received in trust for and be paid over to the Canadian Collateral Agent and any surplus shall be applied in accordance with applicable law. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of the Canadian Collateral Agent, be vested with, in addition to the rights set out herein, all or any of the rights and powers of the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent described in the Credit Agreement, the PPSA, and any other applicable laws. 5.7 Registration Rights. (a) If the Canadian Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to subsection 5.6, and if in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent it is necessary or reasonably advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of applicable securities legislation, the Grantor will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and use its best efforts to cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the applicable securities legislation, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of not more than one year from the date of the first public offering of such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of applicable securities legislation and the rules and regulations of any applicable securities commission or regulation applicable thereto. The Grantor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities laws of any and all provinces and territories that the Canadian Collateral Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, any statements (which need not be audited) that will satisfy the provisions of applicable securities legislation. (b) The Grantor recognizes that the Canadian Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all such Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in applicable securities legislation or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favourable than if such sale were a public sale and, -29- notwithstanding such circumstances, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under applicable securities legislation, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. (c) The Grantor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of such Pledged Stock pursuant to this subsection 5.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. The Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this subsection 5.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this subsection 5.7 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantor, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement. 5.8 Waiver; Deficiency. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay in full, the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations constituting Obligations of the Grantor and, to the extent then due and owing, all other Obligations of the Grantor and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any legal counsel employed by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency. SECTION 6 THE CANADIAN COLLATERAL AGENT 6.1 Canadian Collateral Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Canadian Collateral Agent or any authorized officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law, provided that the Canadian Collateral Agent agree not to exercise such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law), (x) the Grantor hereby gives the Canadian Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice or assent by the Grantor, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in subsection 5.6 or 5.7, any endorsements, assessments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Grantor's Pledged Collateral, and (y) the Grantor hereby gives the Canadian Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice to or assent by the Grantor, to do any or all of the following: -30- (i) in the name of the Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any cheques, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account Receivable of the Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral of the Grantor and file any claim or take any other action or institute any proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Canadian Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account Receivable of the Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral of the Grantor whenever payable; (ii) in the case of any Copyright, Patent, Trade-mark, or Industrial Design constituting Collateral of the Grantor, execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Canadian Collateral Agent may reasonably request to the Grantor to evidence the Canadian Collateral Agent's and the Lenders' security interest in such Copyright, Patent, Trade-mark or Industrial Design and the goodwill and intangibles of the Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens, other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, levied or placed on the Collateral of the Grantor, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and (iv) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral of the Grantor to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Canadian Collateral Agent or as the Canadian Collateral Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral of the Grantor; (C) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral of the Grantor; (D) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral of the Grantor or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral of the Grantor; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Grantor with respect to any Collateral of the Grantor; (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Canadian Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (G) subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses, license or sublicense, any Copyright, Patent, Trade-mark or Industrial Design constituting Collateral of the Grantor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent, Trade-mark or Industrial Design pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Canadian Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral of the Grantor as fully and completely as though the Canadian Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Canadian Collateral Agent's option and the Grantor's expense, at any time, or from -31- time to time, all acts and things which the Canadian Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral of the Grantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent's and the other Secured Parties' security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do. (b) The reasonable expenses of the Canadian Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this subsection 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Loans that are RCF Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Canadian Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the Grantor, shall be payable by the Grantor to the Canadian Collateral Agent on demand. (c) The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable as to the Grantor until this Agreement is terminated, and the security interests in the Collateral of the Grantor created hereby are released. 6.2 Duty of Canadian Collateral Agent. The Canadian Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Canadian Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or any other Person or, except as otherwise provided herein, to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Canadian Collateral Agent's and the other Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or for their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 6.3 Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, the Grantor authorizes the Canadian Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements, financing change statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Grantor's Collateral without the signature of the Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Canadian Collateral Agent reasonably determine appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Agreement. The Grantor authorizes the Canadian Collateral Agent to use any collateral description determined by the Canadian Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, the -32- collateral description "all personal property" or "all assets" in any such financing statements or financing change statements. 6.4 Authority of Canadian Collateral Agent. The Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Canadian Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Canadian Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall, as between the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Grantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Grantor shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 6.5 Right of Inspection. Upon reasonable written advance notice to the Grantor and as often as may reasonably be desired, or at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to all the books, correspondence and records of the Grantor, and the Canadian Collateral Agent and their respective representatives may examine the same, and to the extent reasonable take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and the Grantor agrees to render to the Canadian Collateral Agent at the Grantor's reasonable cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Canadian Collateral Agent and their respective representatives shall also have the right, upon reasonable advance written notice to the Grantor subject to any lease restrictions, to enter during normal business hours into and upon any premises owned, leased or operated by the Grantor where any of the Grantor's Inventory or Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein. SECTION 7 NON-LENDER SECURED PARTIES 7.1 Rights to Collateral. (a) The Non-Lender Secured Parties shall not have any right whatsoever to do any of the following: (i) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral (such term, as used in this Section 7, having the meaning assigned to it in the Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, the right to (A) enforce any Liens or sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of the Collateral, (B) request any action, institute any proceedings, exercise any voting rights, give any instructions, make any election, notify account debtors or make collections with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral or (C) release the Grantor under this Agreement or release any Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document or consent to or otherwise approve any such release; (ii) demand, accept or obtain any Lien on any Collateral (except for Liens arising under, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement); (iii) vote in any -33- Bankruptcy Case or similar proceeding in respect of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (any such proceeding, for purposes of this clause (a), a "Bankruptcy") with respect to, or take any other actions concerning the Collateral; (iv) receive any proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral (except in accordance with this Agreement); (v) oppose any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral; (vi) object to any debtor-in-possession financing in any Bankruptcy Case which is provided by one or more Lenders among others; (vii) object to the use of cash collateral in respect of the Collateral in any Bankruptcy; or (viii) seek, or object to the Lenders seeking on an equal and rateable basis, any adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Collateral in any Bankruptcy. (b) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, agrees that in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders, with the consent of the Canadian Collateral Agent, may enforce the provisions of the Security Documents and exercise remedies thereunder and under any other Loan Documents (or refrain from enforcing rights and exercising remedies), all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole business judgment. Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to collect, sell, dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such collection, sale, disposition or other realization and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the PPSA of any applicable jurisdiction. The Non-Lender Secured Parties hereby agree by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents not to contest or otherwise challenge any such collection, sale, disposition or other realization of or upon all or any of the Collateral. Whether or not a Bankruptcy Case has been commenced, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or other disposition of any property, business or assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and the release of any or all of the Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document in connection therewith. (c) Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 7.1, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleadings (A) in order to prevent any Person from seeking to foreclose on the Collateral or supersede the Non-Lender Secured Parties' claim thereto or (B) in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Non-Lender Secured Parties. (d) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefit of this Agreement, agrees that the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders may deal with the Collateral, including any exchange, taking or release of Collateral, may change or increase the amount of the Obligations, and may release the Grantor from its Obligations hereunder, all without any liability or obligation (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) to the Non-Lender Secured Parties. 7.2 Appointment of Agent. Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, shall be deemed irrevocably to make, constitute -34- and appoint the Canadian Collateral Agent as agent under the Credit Agreement (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Canadian Collateral Agent) as such Person's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for the Non-Lender Secured Parties and in each such Person's name or otherwise, to effectuate any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Canadian Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Non-Lender Secured Parties for the purposes set forth herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. It is understood and agreed that the Canadian Collateral Agent has appointed the Canadian Administrative Agent as its agent for purposes of perfecting certain of the security interests created hereunder and for otherwise carrying out certain of its obligations hereunder. 7.3 Waiver of Claims. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Non-Lender Secured Party waives any claim it might have against the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Lenders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Lenders or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such exercise described in subsection 7.1(b) above), except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes wilful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. None of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any Lender or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Holdings, any Subsidiary of Holdings, any Non-Lender Secured Party or any other Person or to take any other action or forbear from doing so whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes wilful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS 8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Grantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent, provided that (a) any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on the Grantor may be waived by the Canadian Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Canadian Collateral Agent and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, no such waiver and no such amendment or modification shall amend, modify or waive the definition of "Secured Party" or subsection 5.5 if such waiver, amendment, or modification would adversely affect a Secured Party without the written consent of each such affected Secured Party. 8.2 Notices. -35- All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in subsection 11.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon the Grantor shall be addressed to the Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1, unless and until the Grantor shall change such address by notice to the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent given in accordance with subsection 11.2 of the Credit Agreement. 8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. None of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Canadian Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 8.4 Further Assurances. The Grantor will do all acts and things and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all agreements, documents and instruments that the Collateral Agent may require, including as a result of the coming into force of proposed legislation currently known as the Securities Transfer Act (Ontario) (and similar legislation in the Provinces of Alberta and British Columbia and other applicable jurisdictions), and take all further steps relating to the Collateral or any other property or assets of the Grantor that the Collateral Agent may require for (i) protecting the Collateral, (ii) perfecting the security interest, and (iii) exercising all powers, authorities and discretions conferred upon the Canadian Collateral Agent. After the security interest becomes enforceable, the Grantor will do all acts and things and execute and deliver all documents and instruments that the Collateral Agent may require for facilitating the sale or other disposition of the Collateral in connection with its realization. 8.5 Enforcement Expenses. (a) The Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, (x) any and all liabilities, costs, losses and expenses of whatever kind with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and -36- administration of this Agreement (collectively, the "indemnified liabilities"), in each case to the extent the Parent Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 11.5 of the Credit Agreement, and in any event excluding any taxes or other indemnified liabilities arising from gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. (b) The agreements in this subsection 8.5 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 8.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of the Grantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that the Grantor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Canadian Collateral Agent. 8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; provided that, with respect to any Pledged Stock issued by a Subsidiary, all rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that they do not violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any such Pledged Stock or affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement against the Grantor (such laws, rules or regulations, "Applicable Law") and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any Applicable Law. 8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. -37- 8.10 Integration.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. -38- 8.14 Releases. (a) At such time as the Loans (including the face amount of all outstanding Bankers' Acceptance Loans), the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (other than any Obligations owing to a Non-Lender Secured Party in respect of the provision of cash management services) then due and owing, in each case, shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, all Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor. At the request and sole expense of the Grantor following any such termination, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Grantor any Collateral held by the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents (including without limitation, PPSA financing change statements and discharges) as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. (b) In connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral permitted by the Credit Agreement (other than any sale or disposition to another Grantor), the Lien pursuant to this Agreement on such sold or disposed of Collateral shall be automatically released. In connection with the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of the Grantor (other than to Holdings, the Parent Borrower or a Subsidiary of either) or the sale or other disposition of Collateral (other than a sale or disposition to another Grantor) permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt from the Parent Borrower of a written request for the release of the Grantor from its Guarantee, if applicable, or the release of the Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, identifying the Grantor or the relevant Collateral and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Parent Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, execute and deliver to the Grantor (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantor and without representation or warranty of any kind) all releases or other documents (including without limitation, PPSA financing change statements or discharges) necessary or reasonably desirable for the release of such Guarantee or the Liens created hereby on such Collateral, as applicable, as the Grantor may reasonably request. 8.15 Judgment Currency. (a) The obligations of the Grantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars or in Canadian Dollars, as the case may be (for the purposes of this Section 8.15, the "Obligation Currency"), shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Canadian Collateral Agent or a Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Canadian Collateral Agent or a Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Grantor or any other Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it -39- becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (for the purposes of this Section 8.15, such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange prevailing, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (for the purposes of this Section 8.15, such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency Conversion Date"). (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Grantor covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. (c) For purposes of determining the prevailing rate of exchange, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency. 8.16 Attachment of Security Interest.
