(b) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash (other than contingent or indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Obligations, provided that any Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee contained in this Section 2 as provided in Section 8.15.

(c) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to release the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations are paid in full in cash (other than contingent or indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated, provided that any Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee contained in this Section 2 as provided in Section 8.15. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Guarantors be liable for payment of any amount in excess of the then outstanding Borrower Obligations and, without duplication, Guarantor Obligations.

2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, the Lenders and any of the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, the Lenders and each other Secured Party by the Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations are paid in full in cash (other than contingent or indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, the Lenders and each other Secured Party, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative

Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the respective Secured Parties party thereto may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, each any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and among the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (other than a defense of payment or performance) (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender and any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include, but not be limited to the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the appropriate funding office as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

LENDERS HEREUNDER, ALL OTHER RIGHTS AND BENEFITS AFFORDED HEREUNDER TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE REVOLVER AGENT AND THE LENDERS AND ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE GRANTORS HEREUNDER) ARE SUBJECT IN ALL RESPECTS TO THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT (AS SUPPLEMENTED BY THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT JOINDER). IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT (AS SUPPLEMENTED BY THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT JOINDER) AND THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT (AS SUPPLEMENTED BY THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT JOINDER) SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower thereunder, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Representations in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Guarantor, the representations and warranties set forth in Article V of the Credit Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct, in all material respects (other than any representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or makes reference to Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects), and each Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein, provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 4.1, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.

4.2 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor owns its Collateral in all material respects free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its business, grant licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned or developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” or a “claim” on such Intellectual Property. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, each Lender and each other Secured Party understands that any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity provisions may limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize, sell, Lease or transfer the related Intellectual Property or otherwise realize value from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.

4.3 Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 (including obtaining “control” (within the meaning of the STA) of Securities Accounts (other than Permitted Unperfected Accounts) and Investment Property will constitute valid perfected security interests (to the extent perfection of security interests therein may be perfected by filing of a financing statement under the PPSA and/or filings with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or Canadian Industrial Design Office, as applicable, possession by the Administrative Agent of the respective Investment Property or “control” of Securities Accounts) in all of the Collateral in favour of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor, other than purchasers in the ordinary course of business, and other than purchasers under transactions permitted under the Credit Agreement, and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement and other Liens which have priority over the Liens granted hereunder on the Collateral by operation of law.

4.4 Jurisdiction of Organization; Chief Executive Office. On the date hereof, such Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization, identification number from the jurisdiction of organization (if any), and the location of such Grantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business or principal residence, as the case may be, are specified on Schedule 4.

(d) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens in favour of, or claims of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement and as otherwise would not violate the applicable requirements of the Credit Agreement.

5.1 Covenants in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Guarantor, to the extent applicable, such Guarantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables and parties to the Contracts that the Receivables and the Contracts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Agent or Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, 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 which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.5, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter, during the continuance of such Event of Default, exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability (except liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment)) except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any 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.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative 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 such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Administrative Agent.

6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over to Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, upon receipt by such Grantor of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Revolver Agent, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, cheques and other similar near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, be turned over to the Administrative Agent forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.

6.5 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (but the Obligations shall not have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent may (and, at the request of the Revolver Agent, the Administrative Agent shall) apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 8.02(b) of the Credit Agreement.

6.6 Other Remedies.

(a) PPSA Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA or any other applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative 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 any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, have assigned to it, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, sublicense, 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 Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent or any Lender 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. Upon written demand from the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Administrative Agent an absolute assignment of all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by Law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by Law. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, 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 Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in the order set forth in Section 6.5 hereof, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of Law need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder, except for gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any such Person. 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 20 days before such sale or other disposition.

(b) Appointment of Receiver. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may appoint or reappoint by instrument in writing, any Person or Persons, whether an officer or officers or an employee or employees of the Administrative Agent 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 Collateral (including any interest, income or profits therefrom) and may remove any Receiver so appointed and appoint another in his/her/its stead. Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for his/her/its acts, be deemed the agent of the applicable Grantor and not the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent or any other Secured Party, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent or any other Secured Party shall be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or nonfeasance on the part of any such Receiver or his/her/its servants, agents or employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing him/her/it and the provisions of applicable law, any such Receiver shall have power to take possession of Collateral, to

preserve Collateral or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of the applicable Grantor and to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of Collateral. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the applicable Grantor, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the applicable Grantor wherein Collateral may be situated, maintain Collateral upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use Collateral directly in carrying on the applicable Grantor’s business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on the applicable Grantor’s business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by the 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 Administrative Agent. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of the Administrative Agent.

(i) The Administrative 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 this Section 6.6(b).

6.7 Private Sales.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Laws, 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. Each 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, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no 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 the Securities Laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its 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 the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, the Lenders and each of the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, the Lenders and each of the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, 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 under the Credit Agreement.

6.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

6.9 Intellectual Property License. The Grantors hereby grant the Administrative Agent a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license and right, effective solely during an Event of Default, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and to the extent of the Grantors’ interest therein, exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation, under and to any and all of the Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned by, licensed to, or otherwise used by the Grantors to purchase, use, market, repossess, possess, store, assemble, manufacture, process, sell, transfer, distribute, lease, license and otherwise exploit and dispose of any asset included in the Collateral to the extent the Administrative Agent takes possession of such in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any such Event of Default is cured in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the foregoing license shall automatically be suspended.

SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

7.1 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any 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 such Grantor and in the name of such 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 which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such 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 Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, 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;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and 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; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other

Anything in this Section 7.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1 unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon (which shall accrue only from the time upon which written demand therefor is made by the Administrative Agent) at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans (which rate shall increase to the rate applicable to such Loans that are past due for periods after the date that is 10 days after written demand for payment has been made upon the Borrower by the Administrative Agent) under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys 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 until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

7.2 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under the PPSA, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender, any other Secured Party or 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 any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s, the Revolver Agent’s, the Lenders’ and each other Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any of such Persons to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, the Lenders 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 any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.3 Filing of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable Law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent (or its designees) to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property” or similar language containing an equally effective description in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent (or its designees) of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

7.4 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent and the Lenders, 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 Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative 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 no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

A waiver by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender 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 such Agent or such Lender 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 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) To the same extent that the Borrower is required under such circumstances to do so pursuant to Section 11.04(a) of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each of the Secured Parties for all reasonable invoiced, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party.

Agent, the Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Agent or such Lender of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Agent and each Lender under this Section 8.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Agent or such Lender may have.

8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

8.18 Judgment Currency.

(a) Each of the Grantors’ obligations hereunder, and the obligations of the Loan Parties under the other Loan Documents, to make payments in Dollars (pursuant to such obligation, 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 Secured Parties of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Secured Parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any 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 (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 Dollar Equivalent thereof, determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”). For the purposes of this Section 8.18, “Dollar Equivalent” means, as to any amount denominated in a currency other than Dollars as of any date of determination, the amount of Dollars that would be required to purchase the amount of such other currency based upon the customary rate used by the Administrative Agent for commercial loans administered by it or at such other rate as may have been agreed in writing between the Borrower and Administrative Agent.

(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, each 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.

8.19 Interest Act (Canada).

For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whenever interest to be paid hereunder is to be calculated on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or such other number of days in such period, as the case may be.
