WHEREAS, the Collateral Agent is to hold for its own benefit and is to act as agent under the Credit Agreement, inter alia, to hold as agent for the rateable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, any and all security for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to execute and deliver this agreement to and in favour of the Collateral Agent as security for the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Terms defined in the Personal Property Security Act (Ontario) (as amended from time to time, the “PPSA”) and used in this agreement have the same meanings.

Any reference to the “STA” in this agreement means the Securities Transfer Act (Ontario), as amended from time to time.

Any references to the “General Security Agreement” shall mean that certain General Security Agreement dated as of or about the date hereof between the Company, as grantor, and the Collateral Agent, as same may be amended, supplemented, revised, restated or replaced from time to time.

“Collateral Agent” shall include, in addition to the Collateral Agent referred to in the preamble of the Credit Agreement, any successors and assigns to the Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to the Credit Agreement and means the “Collateral Agent” in its capacity as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with respect to the Secured Obligations.

The Company assigns, mortgages, charges, hypothecates and pledges to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit as a Lender (acting through its Canada branch) and as agent for the rateable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties and grants to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit as a Lender (acting through its Canada branch) and as agent for the rateable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, a security interest in the following property and assets (collectively, the “Collateral”): (i) all certificated and uncertificated securities registered in the name of the Company including those as described in Schedule “A” (collectively, the “Pledged Securities”), (ii) all securities accounts of the Company including those described in Schedule “B” (collectively, the “Pledged Securities Accounts”), all cash balances in the Pledged Securities Accounts and all security entitlements in respect of financial assets from time to time listed or described on the Pledged Securities Accounts or any statement in respect thereof, (the “Pledged Securities Entitlements”) (iv) all options, warrants and rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for, the Pledged Securities, the Pledged Security Accounts or the financial assets and other property subject to the Pledged Security Entitlements, (v) all dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any such Pledged Securities, Pledged Security Entitlements, Pledged Securities Accounts, options, warrants and rights; (vi) all other rights and claims of the Company in respect of, or in connection with, the foregoing and (vii) all proceeds arising out of the foregoing; provided, however, that the foregoing grant of security interest shall not include a security interest in any Excluded Property; and provided, further, that, if and when any property shall cease to be Excluded Property, the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall have, and at all times from and after the date hereof be deemed to have had, a security interest in such property.

For greater certainty, the Collateral includes any substitutions or additions arising out of any consolidation, subdivision, reclassification, stock dividend or similar increase or decrease in, or alteration to, the capital of any issuer of the Pledged Securities or the financial assets and other property subject to the Pledged Security Entitlements or otherwise held in any Pledged Securities Account.

The assignments, mortgages, charges, hypothecations, pledges and security interests granted hereby (the “Security Interest”) secure the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Secured Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) (collectively, and together with the expenses, costs and charges set out in Section 1.3(b), the “Obligations”).

All expenses, costs and charges incurred by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in connection with this agreement, the Security Interest or the realization of the Collateral including all legal fees, court costs, receiver’s or agent’s remuneration and other expenses of, or of taking or defending any action in connection with, taking possession of, protecting, insuring, preparing for disposition, realizing, collecting, selling, transferring, delivering or obtaining payment of the Collateral or other lawful exercise of the powers conferred by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are to be added to and form a part of the Obligations.

The Company acknowledges that (i) value has been given, (ii) it has rights in the Collateral (other than after-acquired Collateral), (iii) it has not agreed to postpone the time of attachment of the Security Interest, and (iv) it has received a duplicate original copy of this agreement.

The Company will deliver to the Collateral Agent, immediately upon receipt thereof, any and all certificates representing the Pledged Securities and, to the extent applicable, the other Collateral, in each case accompanied by a duly executed stock power of attorney or similar transfer form constituting an effective endorsement.

If the Company becomes entitled to receive or receives any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or any certificate issued in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any reorganization), option, warrant or right (if in deliverable form) in respect of the Collateral, whether in addition to, in substitution for, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any of the Collateral, the Company will accept it as the agent of the Collateral Agent and hold the same in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in the form received, and will immediately deliver it to the Collateral Agent together with a duly executed stock power of attorney or transfer form constituting an effective endorsement, as applicable.

If and to the extent any of the Pledged Securities are or become uncertificated, the Company will enter into and cause the issuer of such Pledged Securities to enter into a Control Account Agreement (as such term is defined in the General Security Agreement) in order to ensure that the Collateral Agent has control (as such term is used in the STA and the PPSA) of the uncertificated Pledged Securities.

If and to the extent the Company now or hereafter has one or more Pledged Securities Accounts, it shall take all action necessary to cause the relevant securities intermediary to enter into a Control Account Agreement (as such term is defined in the General Security Agreement) with the Collateral Agent pursuant to which the securities intermediary will agree, among other things, to comply with entitlement orders originated by the Collateral Agent or its nominee without further consent of the Company or any other Person.

At the election of the Collateral Agent and immediately upon written notice being provided by the Collateral Agent to the Company, the Company will take all action required to (i) permit the Pledged Securities to be transferred into and registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or as it may direct, and (ii) cause the Pledged Securities Account and Pledged Security Entitlements recorded therein to be transferred to the Collateral Agent or as it may direct so that it or its nominee becomes the entitlement holder thereof. The Company covenants that, at the time of any such transfer, it will provide all required consents and approvals and cause the issuer of the Pledged Securities or the securities intermediary, as the case may be, to make appropriate notations on its share register or in the relevant securities account, as applicable.

Until the Security Interest becomes enforceable, the Company may vote the Pledged Securities, give consents, ratifications or waivers, make entitlement orders, exercise all rights of conversion or other similar rights with respect to the Collateral and receive all cash dividends and other distributions, money or property relating to the Collateral. Whenever the Security Interest becomes enforceable, all rights of the Company to vote, make entitlement orders, give consents, ratifications or waivers, exercise other rights or receive dividends or other money or property will cease and all such rights will become vested solely and absolutely in the Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of the Lenders.

The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties may grant extensions or other indulgences, take and give up security, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with the Company and with other Persons, sureties or security as they may see fit without prejudice to the Obligations, the liability of the Company or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral.

The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties are not (i) liable or accountable for any failure to collect, realize or obtain payment in respect of the Collateral, (ii) bound to institute proceedings for the purpose of collecting, enforcing, realizing or obtaining payment of the Collateral or for the purpose of preserving any rights of any Persons, (iii) responsible for any loss occasioned by any sale or other dealing with the Collateral or by the retention of or failure to sell or otherwise deal with the Collateral, or (iv) bound to protect the Collateral from depreciating in value or becoming worthless.

No Person dealing with the Collateral Agent, any of the Secured Parties or an agent or receiver thereof is required to determine (i) whether the Security Interest has become enforceable, (ii) whether the powers which such Person is purporting to exercise have become exercisable, (iii) whether any money remains due to the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Parties by the Company, (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 Collateral Agent, any Secured Parties or any other Person with the Collateral, or (vi) how any money paid to the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or agent or receiver has been applied.

At the time provided in Section 10.7(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens hereby and this agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and the Company 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 Company. At the request and sole expense of the Company following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Company any Collateral of the Company held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to the Company, at the sole expense of the Company, such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

If the Collateral Agent shall be directed or permitted pursuant to Section 10.7(b)(ii) or (iii) of the Credit Agreement to release any Lien created hereby upon any Collateral (including any Collateral sold or disposed of by the Company in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement), such Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, Section 10.7(b)(ii) or (iii) of the Credit Agreement. In connection therewith but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Company, shall execute and deliver to the Company, all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Lien created hereby on such Collateral.

None of the terms or provisions of this agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that schedules to this agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through amendments in a form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, in each case duly executed by the Collateral Agent and the Company.

Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall by any act, delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder operates as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder precludes any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

This agreement is governed by and is to be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.

The Company irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of any suit, action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have based upon doctrines of venue or forum inconveniens.
