Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, 12 be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of the Collateral Agent. The identity of the Receiver, its replacement and its remuneration shall be within the sole and unfettered discretion of the Collateral Agent. (b) Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the 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 ARTICLE 7(a). (c) In addition to those rights granted herein and in any other agreement now or hereafter in effect between any Grantor and the Collateral Agent, and in addition to any other rights the Collateral Agent may have at law or in equity, the Collateral Agent shall have, both before and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA. However, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or accountable for any failure to exercise its remedies, take possession of, collect, enforce, realize, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or to institute any proceedings for such purposes. Furthermore, the 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 the Collateral Agent's possession, and shall not be liable or accountable for failure to do so. (d) Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may take possession of, collect, demand, sue on, enforce, recover and receive the Collateral and give valid and binding receipts and discharges therefor and in respect thereof and the Collateral Agent also may sell, license, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in such manner, at such time or times and place or places, for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as to the Collateral Agent may seem reasonable and in compliance with applicable law. (e) Each Grantor acknowledges that, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or any Receiver appointed by it may take possession of the Collateral wherever it may be located and by any method permitted by law and each Grantor agrees upon request from the Collateral Agent or any such Receiver to assemble and deliver possession of the Collateral at such place or places as directed. (f) The Collateral Agent will give Grantor such notice, if any, of the date, time and place of any public sale or of the date after which any private disposition of the Collateral is to be made as may be required by the PPSA. (g) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Collateral Agent complies with any applicable provincial or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral. (h) Each Grantor agrees to be liable for and to pay all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the Collateral Agent or any Receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent, whether directly or for services rendered (including reasonable legal and auditors' costs and expenses and Receiver remuneration), in operating such Grantor's accounts, in preparing or 13 enforcing this Agreement, taking and maintaining custody of, preserving, repairing, processing, preparing for disposition and disposing of the Collateral and in enforcing or collecting indebtedness and all such costs, charges and expenses, together with any amounts owing as a result of any borrowing by the Collateral Agent or any Receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent, as permitted hereby, shall be a first priority security interest on the proceeds of realization, collection or disposition of the Collateral and shall be secured hereby. (i) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Collateral Agent or any Receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or any Receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. (j) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and all cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to ARTICLE 8 hereof) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Senior Secured Note Obligations in such order as the Collateral Agent shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the Indenture. Any surplus of such cash or cash Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after the date on which the Discharge of Senior Secured Note Obligations has occurred shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. (k) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Trustee and the Holders are legally entitled, the Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable Senior Secured Note Document for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. (l) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Senior Secured Note Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Collateral Agent's rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that any Grantor lawfully may, such Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent's rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Senior Secured Note Obligations or under which any of the Senior Secured Note Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Senior Secured Note Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. 14 ARTICLE 8 INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES. (a) Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Trustee (and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent and the Trustee) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely and directly from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. (b) Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent and of any experts and agents (including, without limitation, any collateral trustee which may act as agent of the Collateral Agent), which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. ARTICLE 9 NOTICES, ETC (a) All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied or delivered, if to a Grantor, to it in care of the Company at its address specified in the Indenture and if to the Collateral Agent, to it at U.S. Bank National Association, 425 Walnut Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, Fax: (513)-632-5511, Attention: Corporate Trust Office; or as to any such Person, at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this ARTICLE 9(a). All such notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), when received or three (3) days after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first, (b) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation received or (c) if delivered, upon delivery. ARTICLE 10 SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE (a) All rights of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders, all Liens and all obligations of each of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other Senior Secured Note Document, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in 15 respect of, all or any of the Senior Secured Note Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Indenture or any other Senior Secured Note Document, (c) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Senior Secured Note Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any of the Grantors in respect of the Senior Secured Note Obligations. All authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any of the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest. (b) Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, in the event it amalgamates with any other company or companies, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the term "Grantor", when used herein, shall apply to each of the amalgamating companies and to the amalgamated company, such that the security interest granted hereby: (i) shall extend to "Collateral" (as that term is herein defined) owned by each of the amalgamating companies and the amalgamated company at the time of amalgamation and to any "Collateral" thereafter owned or acquired by the amalgamated company, and (ii) shall secure all "Senior Secured Note Obligations" (as that term is herein defined) of each of the amalgamating companies and the amalgamated company to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders at the time of amalgamation and all "Senior Secured Note Obligations" of the amalgamated company to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders thereafter arising. The security interest created herein shall attach to all "Collateral" owned by each company amalgamating with such Grantor, and by the amalgamated company, at the time of the amalgamation, and shall attach to all "Collateral" thereafter owned or acquired by the amalgamated company when such becomes owned or is acquired. ARTICLE 11 MISCELLANEOUS (a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement (including any Schedule attached hereto) shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Collateral Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. (b) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Senior Secured Note Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders provided herein and in the other Senior Secured Note Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders under any Senior Secured Note Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights under any other Senior Secured Note Document against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, any Grantor. 16 (c) 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 portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. (d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the date on which the Discharge of Senior Secured Note Obligations has occurred and (ii) be binding on each Grantor and their respective successors (including any successor by reason of amalgamation) and assigns, and all other Persons who become bound as debtor to this Agreement in accordance with any other Senior Secured Note Document and shall enure, together with all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders and their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to any such Collateral Agent, Trustee or Holders shall mean the assignee of Collateral Agent, Trustee or the Holders. None of the rights or obligations of any Grantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, and any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void. (e) Upon the date on which the Discharge of Senior Secured Note Obligations has occurred, this Agreement and the security interests created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent's Liens upon the Collateral shall automatically be released upon any of the events specified in Section 10.03 of the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and the Collateral of any Grantor that is released from its Note Guarantee obligations and is no longer a Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.05 of the Indenture shall automatically be released upon such an event in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and such Grantor shall no longer be a party to this Agreement.. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this ARTICLE 11(e), the Collateral Agent will, upon any Grantor's request and at such Grantor's expense, without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, (i) return to such Grantor such Collateral to be released (in the case of a release) as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (ii) execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. (f) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND THE FEDERAL LAWS OF CANADA APPLICABLE THEREIN, AS THE SAME MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE IN EFFECT, INCLUDING, WHERE APPLICABLE, THE PPSA EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY AND PERFECTION OR THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREBY, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION. 17 (g) ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE COURT. (h) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforesaid courts in any such action, suit or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address provided herein, such service to become effective ten (10) days after such mailing. (i) Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of the Collateral Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Grantor or any property of any Grantor in any other jurisdiction. (j) Each Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. (k) Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. (l) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together constitute one in the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart. (m) All of the obligations of the Grantors hereunder are joint and several. The Collateral Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, enforce the provisions hereof against any of the Grantors and shall not be required to proceed against all Grantors jointly or seek payment from the Grantors ratably. In addition, the Collateral Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, select the Collateral of any one or more of the Grantors for sale or application to the Senior Secured Note Obligations, without regard to the ownership of such Collateral, and shall not be required to make such selection ratably from the Collateral owned by all of the Grantors. The release or discharge of any Grantor by the Collateral Agent shall not release or discharge any other Grantor from the obligations of such Person hereunder. 18 Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Senior Secured Note Document, if a "secured creditor" (as that term is defined under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to include a Person to whom obligations are owed on a joint or joint and several basis, then each Grantor's Senior Secured Note Obligations, to the extent such Senior Secured Note Obligations are secured, only shall be several obligations (each as to 100% of the Senior Secured Note Obligations) and not joint or joint and several obligations. (n) When the context so requires, the singular number shall be read as if the plural were expressed and the provisions hereof shall be read with all grammatical changes necessary dependent upon the person referred to being a male, female, firm or corporation. (o) The Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Holders, that, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Grantor shall be required to act or refrain from acting (A) in a manner that is inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement or (B) with respect to any Collateral in any manner that would result in a default under the terms and provisions of any Credit Facility Document and (ii) any action required to be taken by a Grantor (or omission to act) pursuant to the terms of any Credit Facility Document in respect of Collateral will not put such Grantor in violation of or result in a default under the terms of this Agreement or any other Senior Secured Note Document. (p) Each Grantor and the Collateral Agent hereby acknowledge that (i) value has been given, (ii) such Grantor has rights in the Collateral and, to the extent that such Grantor does not acquire rights or interests in any of the Collateral until after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the security interest created hereby shall attach to such Collateral at the time such Grantor acquires rights or interests therein, and (iii) this Agreement constitutes a security agreement as that term is defined in the PPSA. (q) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the terms of this Agreement, the Liens created hereby and the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders hereunder are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. (r) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee or similar Person be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor's assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Senior Secured Note 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 Senior Secured Note 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 Senior Secured Note Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. (s) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement. 19 (t) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives such Grantor's right to receive a copy of any financing statement or financing change statement registered by the Collateral Agent, or of any verification statement with respect to any financing statement or financing change statement registered by the Collateral Agent.
