Subject to the restrictions, if any, set out in the Credit Agreement, until the Security Interest has become enforceable, the Obligors may receive and retain any dividends or distributions on the Pledged Investment Property (whether paid or distributed in cash, securities or other property). Upon the Security Interest becoming enforceable, all rights of the Obligors to receive dividends or other distributions shall cease and all such rights shall be vested solely and absolutely in the Agent.

 

(c)

Any dividends or distributions received by the Obligors contrary to Section 1.5(b) or any other moneys or property received by the Obligors after the Security Interest has become enforceable shall be received as trustee for the Agent and shall be immediately paid over to the Agent.

1.6

Scope of Security Interest

 

(a)

To the extent that an assignment of amounts payable and other proceeds arising under, or the grant of a security interest in, any agreement, licence, permit or quota of the Obligors would result in the termination of such agreement, licence, permit or quota (each, a Restricted Asset), the Security Interest with respect to such Restricted Asset will constitute a trust created in favour of the Agent pursuant to which the Obligors hold as trustee all proceeds arising under or in connection with the Restricted Asset in trust for the Agent and the other Lender on the following basis:

 

(i)

until the Security Interest has become enforceable and subject to the Credit Agreement, the Obligors may receive all such proceeds; and

 

(ii)

upon the Security Interest becoming enforceable, (A) all rights of the Obligors to receive proceeds shall cease and all proceeds shall be immediately paid over to the Agent, and (B) the Obligors shall take all actions requested by the Agent to collect and enforce payment and other rights arising under the Restricted Asset.

 

(b)

The Security Interest with respect to Collateral consisting of trademarks shall constitute a security interest in, and a charge, hypothecation and pledge of, such Collateral in favour of the Agent, but shall not constitute an assignment or mortgage of such Collateral to the Agent or any other Lender.  Until the Security Interest has become enforceable, the grant of the Security Interest in the Intellectual Property will not affect in any way the Obligors’ rights to commercially exploit it or defend or enforce the Obligors’ rights in it or with respect to it.

 

(c)

The Security Interest shall not extend to consumer goods.

 

(d)

The Security Interest shall not extend or apply to the last day of the term of any lease or sublease or any agreement for a lease or sublease, now held or hereafter acquired by the Obligors in respect of real property, but the Obligors shall stand possessed of any such last day upon trust to assign and dispose of it as the Agent may direct.

CAN_DMS: \132141408\5

1.7

Care and Custody of Collateral

 

(a)

The Agent and the Lender shall have no obligation to keep Collateral in their possession identifiable.

 

(b)

The Agent and the Lender shall exercise in the physical keeping of any Negotiable Collateral or Pledged Certificated Securities, only the same degree of care as they would exercise in respect of their own such property kept at the same place.

 

(c)

The Agent is not required to see to the collection of dividends, distributions or interest payable on, or exercise any option or right in connection with, the Collateral.  In addition, it shall have no obligation to protect or preserve the Collateral from depreciating in value or becoming worthless and is hereby released from all responsibility for any loss or diminution of value of the Collateral.

 

(d)

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Security Interest has become enforceable, the Agent may (i) notify any Person obligated on an account, chattel paper or instrument to make payments to the Agent whether or not the Obligors were previously making collections on such accounts, chattel paper or instruments, and (ii) assume control of any proceeds arising from the Collateral.

1.8

Absence of Fiduciary Relationship

No implied agreements, covenants or obligations on the part of the Agent or any Lender with respect to the Obligors, a securities intermediary or an issuer of any Pledged Investment Property are to be read into this security agreement against the Agent or any other Lender.  Neither the Agent nor any other Lender owes any fiduciary duty to any of the Obligors, any issuer of Pledged Investment Property, any securities intermediary or any other Person in connection with this security agreement or the Collateral.

1.9

ULC Shares

Notwithstanding anything else contained in this security agreement or any other agreement among all or some of the parties, the Obligors are and shall remain the sole registered and beneficial owners of all Collateral that consists of shares of an unlimited company, an unlimited liability company or an unlimited liability corporation incorporated pursuant to, or otherwise governed by, the laws of any province of Canada (a ULC) until such time as the shares of the ULC (the ULC Shares) are transferred to the Agent or its nominee on the books and records of the ULC.  Until then, the Obligors shall receive for their own account any dividends or other distributions in respect of ULC Shares that are Collateral and may vote such ULC Shares and control the direction, management and policies of any ULC to the same extent as it would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the Agent.  Nothing in this security agreement or any other agreement among all or some of the parties is intended to, or shall, constitute the Agent or any other Lender, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the purposes of the Companies Act (Nova Scotia), the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) or any other applicable legislation until such time as notice is given by the Agent to the Obligors and further steps are taken, at the request and direction of the

CAN_DMS: \132141408\5

16

 


 

Agent, to register the Agent or its nominee as the holder of such ULC Shares.  If any provision of this security agreement would have the effect of constituting the Agent or any other Lender a member or shareholder of a ULC prior to such time, that provision shall be severed from this security agreement and ineffective with respect to shares of such ULC without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this security agreement as it relates to all other Collateral.

1.10

Amalgamation

If the Borrower or any of the Guarantors amalgamate with any other corporation or corporations, it is the intention of the parties that the Security Interest will (a) extend to all of the property, assets and interests that (i) any of the amalgamating corporations own, or (ii) the amalgamated corporation thereafter acquires, and (b) secure the payment and performance of all debts, liabilities and obligations of any of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation to the Agent and the Lender, however or wherever incurred and whether as principal, guarantor or surety and whether incurred prior to, at the time of, or subsequent to, the amalgamation.  The Security Interest will attach to the property, assets and interests of the amalgamating corporations not previously subject to this security agreement at the time of amalgamation and to any property, assets or interests thereafter owned or acquired by the amalgamated corporation when such property, assets and interests become owned or are acquired.  Upon any such amalgamation with the Borrower, the defined term Borrower shall include each of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation. Upon any such amalgamation with any Guarantor, the defined term Guarantors shall include each of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation. Upon any such amalgamation, the defined term Collateral shall include all of the property, assets and interests described in (a) above, and the defined term Obligations shall include the obligations described in (b) above.

The Obligors acknowledge and agree that it is commercially reasonable for the Agent to, and the Agent may, in its sole discretion, (i) incur expenses to prepare the Collateral for disposition, (ii) exercise collection remedies directly or through the use of collection agencies, (iii) dispose of Collateral by way of public auction, public tender or private contract, with or without advertising and without any other formality, (iv) dispose of Collateral to a Lender or to a customer or client of a Lender, (v) contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Obligors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vi) hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of the Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vii) establish an upset or reserve bid or price in respect of the Collateral, and (viii) establish such terms as to credit or otherwise as the Agent may determine advantageous.

(c)

The Obligors acknowledge that the Agent may be unable to complete a public sale of Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in applicable securities laws.  In connection therewith, it may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favourable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, the Obligors agree that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner by reason of it being a private sale.  The Agent is under no obligation to delay a sale of any or all of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such Collateral for public sale under applicable securities law or otherwise, even if the issuer agrees to do so.

2.8

Appointment of Attorney

The Obligors irrevocably constitute and appoint the Agent (and each of its officers and directors) their true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) to do, make and execute, in the name of and on behalf of the Obligors, all such acts, documents, matters and things which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this security agreement including the execution, endorsement and delivery of documents and any notices, receipts, assignments or verifications of accounts.  This power of attorney is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any stock transfer powers of attorney delivered by the Obligors and any powers of attorney may be relied upon by the Agent severally or in combination.  All acts of the attorney are hereby ratified and approved, and the attorney shall not be liable for any act, failure to act or any other matter or thing, except to the extent caused by its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, provided that this power of attorney shall not be effective until the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing. This power of attorney is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest, has been given for valuable consideration (the receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged) and will survive, and will not terminate upon, the bankruptcy, dissolution, winding up or insolvency of any of the Obligors.  This power of attorney extends to and is binding upon the Obligors’ successors and assigns.  The Obligors authorize the Agent to (a) delegate in writing to another Person any power and authority granted under this power of attorney as may be necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Agent, and (b) revoke or suspend such delegation.

2.9

Dealings With Third Parties

 

(a)

No Person dealing with the Agent, any of the Lender or an agent or receiver is required to determine (i) whether the Security Interest has become enforceable, (ii) whether the powers which the Agent, a Lender or a receiver or agent is purporting to exercise have become exercisable, (iii) whether any money remains due to the Agent or the Lender by the Obligors, (iv) the necessity or expediency of the stipulations and conditions subject to which any sale, lease or other disposition is made, (v) the propriety or regularity of any sale or other dealing by the Agent, any Lender or any agent or receiver with the Collateral, or (vi) how any money paid to the Agent or Lender has been applied.

2.10
