Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(i) Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Other Collateral subject to the Security Interest, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

(j) Grantor shall not make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Other Collateral subject to the Security Interest or shall grant any other Lien in respect of such Other Collateral, except as permitted by the Financing Documents. Grantor shall not make or permit to be made any transfer of such Other Collateral and Grantor shall remain at all times in possession of such Other Collateral owned by it, except that unless and until the Canadian Collateral Agent shall notify Grantor that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and that during the continuance thereof Grantor shall not sell, convey, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any such Other Collateral (which notice may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing), Grantor may use and dispose of such Other Collateral in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Financing Documents or any other Intercompany Notes Document.

(k) Grantor will not, without the Canadian Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any Accounts included in the Other Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, compromises, settlements, releases, credits or discounts granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard practice used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which Grantor is engaged.

(l) Grantor will maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts (with no greater risk retention) and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies of established repute engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations. Each such policy of insurance maintained by Grantor (other than policies of the type in respect of which such actions customarily are not required) shall (i) in the case of each liability insurance policy, name the Canadian Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder, (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement that names the Canadian Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the loss payee thereunder and (iii) provide for at least 30 days’ (or such shorter number of days may be agreed to by the Canadian Collateral Agent) prior written notice to the Canadian Collateral Agent of any cancellation of such policy. Upon the Canadian Collateral Agent’s request, Grantor will furnish to the Canadian Collateral Agent information in reasonable detail as to the insurance so maintained. Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Canadian Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Canadian Collateral Agent) as Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the

continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Other Collateral subject to the Security Interest under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Canadian Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of Grantor hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Canadian Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Canadian Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by Grantor to the Canadian Collateral Agent and shall be additional Intercompany Obligations secured hereby.

(m) Grantor shall maintain, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Canadian Collateral Agent, records of its Chattel Paper and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto.

(a) Instruments. If Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments subject to the Security Interest, Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Canadian Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Canadian Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(b) Investment Property.

(i) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities subject to the Security Interest, Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Canadian Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Canadian Collateral Agent may from time to time specify.

(ii) In respect of any Uncertificated Securities included in the Pledged Collateral,

(A) on request by the Canadian Collateral Agent, Grantor shall cause and hereby authorizes and constitutes the Canadian Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact from time to time to cause each issuer of such Uncertificated Securities to register the Canadian

Collateral Agent or its nominee as the registered owner of such Uncertificated Securities.

(B) Grantor hereby consents to the Canadian Collateral Agent entering into an Investment Property Control Agreement with the issuer of any such Uncertificated Securities.

(iii) Grantor shall not consent to the entering into by any issuer of any Uncertificated Securities included in or relating to the Pledged Collateral of an Investment Property Control Agreement in respect of such Uncertificated Securities with any Person other than the Canadian Collateral Agent or its nominee.

(iv) With respect to any Pledged Collateral that is an interest in a partnership or a limited liability company which as of the date hereof does not satisfy one of the requirements listed in (j), if at any time hereafter any such requirement is satisfied, Grantor shall immediately give notice to such effect to the Collateral Agent.

(v) In respect of any Securities Accounts included in the Pledged Collateral or any Security Entitlements carried therein,

(A) on request by the Canadian Collateral Agent, Grantor shall direct the Securities Intermediary in respect of such Security Entitlements to transfer the Financial Assets to which such Security Entitlements relate to a Securities Account designated by the Canadian Collateral Agent; and

(B) Grantor hereby consents to the Canadian Collateral Agent entering into an Investment Property Control Agreement with the Securities Intermediary in respect of any such Security Entitlements.

(vi) Grantor shall not consent to the entering into by any Securities Intermediary for any Security Entitlements included in or relating to the Pledged Collateral of an Investment Property Control Agreement in respect of such Security Entitlements with any Person other than the Canadian Collateral Agent or its nominee.

(vii) Grantor shall not enter into any agreement with any Securities Intermediary that governs any Securities Account included in or relating to any Pledged Collateral that specifies any such Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction to be a jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario for the purposes of the STA or which is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario or consent to any amendment to any such agreement that would change such Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction to a jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario for the

purposes of the STA or its governing law to a jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario.

(c) Collateral Access Agreements. Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement from the lessor of each leased property, mortgagee of owned property or bailee or consignee with respect to any warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location where Collateral is stored or located, which agreement or letter shall provide access rights and contain a waiver or subordination of all Liens or claims that the landlord, mortgagee, bailee or consignee may assert against the Collateral at that location. Grantor shall timely and fully pay and perform its obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each leased location or third party warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located.

(a) Grantor agrees that it will not take or omit to take any action (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from taking or omitting to take any action) whereby any Patent that is material to the conduct of Grantor’s business may become invalidated or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall continue to xxxx any products covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws.

(b) Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of Grantor’s business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or foreign registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any third party rights.

(c) Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work covered by a material Copyright, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable copyright laws.

(d) Grantor shall notify the Canadian Collateral Agent promptly if it knows or has reason to know that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of its business may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or any court or similar office of any country) regarding Grantor’s ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same.

(e) In no event shall Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (or for the registration of any Trademark or Copyright) with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of Canada or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, unless it promptly informs the Canadian Collateral Agent, and, upon request of the Canadian Collateral Agent, executes and delivers any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Canadian Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Canadian Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and Grantor hereby appoints the Canadian Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.

(f) Grantor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of Canada or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each material application relating to the Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of Grantor’s business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

(g) In the event that Grantor has reason to believe that any Other Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of Grantor’s business has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, Grantor promptly shall notify the Canadian Collateral Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment, promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Other Collateral.

(h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall use its best efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Canadian Collateral Agent or its designee.

The Canadian Collateral Agent shall give Grantor 15 days’ written notice (which Grantor agrees is reasonable notice) of the Canadian Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Canadian Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Canadian Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Canadian Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for

future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Canadian Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Canadian Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and Grantor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Intercompany Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Canadian Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.

The Canadian Collateral Agent may, in addition to any other rights it may have, appoint by instrument in writing a receiver or receiver and manager (both of which are herein called a “Receiver”) of all or any part of the Collateral or may institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such a Receiver. Any such Receiver is hereby given and shall have the same powers and rights and exclusions and limitations of liability as the Canadian Collateral Agent has under this Agreement, at law or in equity. In exercising any such powers, any such Receiver shall, to the extent permitted by law, act as and for all purposes shall be deemed to be the agent of Grantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any act or default of any such Receiver. The Canadian Collateral Agent may appoint one or more Receivers hereunder and may remove any such Receiver or Receivers and appoint another or others in his or their stead from time to time. Any Receiver so appointed may be an officer or employee of the Canadian Collateral Agent. A court need not appoint, ratify the appointment by the Canadian Collateral Agent of or otherwise supervise in any manner the actions of any Receiver. Upon Grantor receiving notice from the Canadian Collateral Agent of the taking of possession of the Collateral or the appointment of a Receiver, all powers, functions, rights and privileges of each of the directors and officers of Grantor with respect to the Collateral shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of the Canadian Collateral Agent.

FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Canadian Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Intercompany Notes Document or any of the Intercompany Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Intercompany Notes Document on behalf of Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Intercompany Notes Document and any other amounts due to the Canadian Collateral Agent under Section 5.03.

SECOND, to the payment in full of the other Intercompany Obligations secured by such Collateral (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the applicable Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of such Intercompany Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

THIRD, to Grantor, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Canadian Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Canadian Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Canadian Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Canadian Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

In view of the position of Grantor in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act (Ontario), or any similar statute in any other applicable jurisdiction hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (the Securities Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Grantor understands that compliance with the Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Canadian Collateral Agent if the Canadian Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Canadian Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Canadian Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Canadian Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Canadian Collateral Agent sells.

SECTION 4.05. Registration.Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason the Canadian Collateral Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Collateral at a public sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Canadian Collateral Agent, use its best efforts to take or to cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Canadian Collateral Agent to permit the public sale of such Pledged Collateral. Grantor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Canadian Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party, any underwriter and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including, without limitation,

reasonable fees and expenses to the Canadian Collateral Agent of legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to Grantor or the issuer of such Pledged Collateral by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Grantor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its best efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Collateral under applicable securities laws of such states or provinces as may be requested by the Canadian Collateral Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Grantor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section. Grantor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section may be specifically enforced.

SECTION 5.02. Waivers; Amendment.(a) No failure or delay by the Canadian Collateral Agent, or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Intercompany Notes Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Canadian Collateral Agent, and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Intercompany Notes Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Intercompany Notes Document or consent to any departure by Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Grantor in any case shall entitle Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Canadian Collateral Agent and Grantor with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required under the Financing Documents. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall enter into such waivers, amendments or modifications of this Agreement as it may be directed (subject to the immediately preceding sentence) to enter into by the Collateral Agent; provided that the Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to execute any such waiver, amendment or modification that adversely affects the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Canadian Collateral Agent.

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Intercompany Notes Documents, Grantor agrees to indemnify the Canadian Collateral Agent, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (the “Indemnitees”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided

that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Intercompany Obligations secured hereby and by the other Intercompany Note Security Documents. The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Intercompany Notes Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Intercompany Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Intercompany Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor.

(b) Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario or Quebec, the courts of Canada, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Intercompany Security Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Province. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Intercompany Notes Document shall affect any right that the Canadian Collateral Agent, or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Intercompany Notes Document against Grantor, or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Intercompany Notes Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Intercompany Notes Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(a) The obligations of any party to this Agreement hereunder and under the other Intercompany Notes Document to make payments in Canadian Dollars or in US Dollars,

as the case may be (for the purposes of this Section, the “Intercompany 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 Intercompany Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Canadian Collateral Agent or a Secured Party of the full amount of the Intercompany Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Canadian Collateral Agent or a Secured Party under this Agreement or the other Intercompany Notes Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any party to this Agreement or any Secured Parties in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Intercompany Obligation Currency (for the purposes of this Section, such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Intercompany Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange prevailing, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (for the purposes of this Section, such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(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, 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 Intercompany 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.

(c) For purposes of determining the prevailing rate of exchange, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Intercompany Obligation Currency.

(a) This Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all the Intercompany Obligations (other than contingent obligations) have been indefeasibly paid in full pursuant to the terms thereof and not in violation of any restriction set forth in any Financing Document.

(b) Upon any sale or other transfer by the Grantor of any Collateral, which sale or transfer is permitted under this Agreement and each of the Financing Documents, or upon a sale or other disposition of the ABL Collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written direction to release of such Lien by the Collateral Agent, the security interest and Lien created in such Collateral under each of the Intercompany Note Security Documents shall be automatically released. In connection with any release pursuant to this Section, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantor and the Collateral Agent, at the Grantor’s expense, all documents that the Grantor or Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence such release; provided however, that the Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute or deliver any such documents unless it shall have been directed to do so by the Collateral Agent. Any such execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Canadian Collateral Agent.

Grantor acknowledges that all right title and interest of the Company in and under this Agreement is, simultaneous with its execution and delivery to the Canadian Collateral Agent, subject to a Lien granted by the Company to secure the Financing Document Obligations. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce this Agreement against Grantor to the extent set forth in the Financing Documents and the Collateral Agreement. Grantor further acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Financing Documents. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take any action under this Agreement or any other Intercompany Note Security Document except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth herein or in such other Intercompany Note Security Document. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall take only such enforcement actions and exercise remedies hereunder and under the other Intercompany Note Security Documents as it is from time to time directed, in writing, to take or exercise by the Collateral Agent (as pledgee of the Intercompany Notes pursuant to the Collateral Agreement), provided that such actions or such exercise of remedies is not inconsistent with or contrary to the provisions of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
