(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 Agents 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 Agents 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 Issuer or maker shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly

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.

If any amounts are held as cash security
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT
- 26 -
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 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.

5.5.5 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.

5.6 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
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT
- 27 -
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 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, brokers 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 Agents 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 Grantors 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 SECURITY AGREEMENT
- 28 -
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 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 Grantors business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on the Grantors 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
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT
- 29 -
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, 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 Agents 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 Grantors Pledged Collateral, and

6.2 Duty of Canadian Collateral Agent.
The Canadian Collateral Agents 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.

The powers conferred on the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Canadian Collateral Agents 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.

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 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 Persons 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 Persons name or otherwise, to effectuate any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral.

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.

8.2 Notices.
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.

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.

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.

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 becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (for
