WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Existing Credit Agreement is being amended and restated, without constituting a novation, pursuant to a second amended and restated credit agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among, amongst others, United Rentals (North America), Inc. and each other U.S. Borrower (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement), United Rentals, Inc. and each other U.S. Guarantor (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement), the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as Agent, and the lenders party thereto;

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, each Grantor (and certain other grantors party thereto) entered into a Canadian Security Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, as amended as of October 14, 2011 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Security Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement by entering into the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to induce the Lenders to maintain and make loans and issue letters of credit as provided for in the Credit Agreement, the Grantors enter into this Agreement in favour of the Agent, and pursuant hereto agree to grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon the Collateral (as defined below) to secure their respective Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement);

 

WHEREAS, the Canadian Borrower is a borrower and has obligations to, amongst others, the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement;

 











 

WHEREAS, in connection with the entering into the Credit Agreement, the Canadian Guarantors have entered into a second amended and restated guarantee agreement (the “Canadian Borrower Guarantee”) dated of equal date herewith in favour of the Agent, whereby they each, jointly and severally agree to unconditionally guarantee and promise to pay to the Agent, or order to be paid, on demand, any and all Obligations of the Canadian Borrower and its successors and assigns;

 

WHEREAS, NSULC 1 and NSULC 2 have entered into a second amended and restated guarantee agreement (the “US Borrower Guarantee”) dated of equal date herewith in favour of the Agent, whereby they each, jointly and severally, agree to unconditionally guarantee and promise to pay to the Agent, or order to be paid, on demand, any and all Obligations of the U.S. Obligors;

 

WHEREAS the obligations of the Grantors pursuant to the Canadian Borrower Guarantee, and the U.S. Borrower Guarantee (collectively the “Guarantees”) form part of the Obligations of the Grantors pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, in consideration for, among other things, the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement by the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by the Agent and the Lenders, and to secure the full and prompt payment and performance of all of their respective Obligations, each Grantor agrees to grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in the Collateral, in order to ensure and secure the prompt payment and performance of their respective Obligations.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Security Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:

4











 

provided that the foregoing exclusion shall not be construed to apply to the extent any such term is ineffective or unenforceable under the UCC (including Sections 9 406, 9 407, 9 408 or 9 409), the comparable provisions of the PPSA, or any other requirement of applicable law so that no breach, default, abandonment, invalidity or unenforceability would occur.

 

(ii)           any asset to the extent the granting of a security interest therein to the Agent is prohibited by applicable law or would require the consent, approval, license or authorization of any Governmental Authority or, except with respect to any Rental Equipment, Merchandise and Consumables Inventory, any proceeds of any of the foregoing, any Material Accounts into which any such proceeds are deposited, or any books or records related to any of the foregoing, other third party (except a Grantor or any Subsidiary or other controlled Affiliate of a Grantor) that has not been obtained or waived; provided that the foregoing exclusion shall not be construed to apply to the extent any such prohibition or requirement for consent, approval, license or authorization is ineffective or unenforceable under the UCC (including Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409), comparable provisions of the PPSA, or any other applicable law;

 

(iii)          any property that is subject to a Lien securing purchase money obligations, Capital Lease Obligations or sale/leaseback Indebtedness permitted under the Credit Agreement pursuant to documents that prohibit such Grantor from granting any other Liens in such property, and such prohibition has not been or is not waived or the consent of the other party to such contract has not been or is not otherwise obtained or under Requirements of Law such prohibition cannot be waived, and only for so long as such Indebtedness remains outstanding;

 

(iv)          (i) except for rental fleet equipment required to be excluded from any Equipment Securitization Transaction pursuant to Section 7.20(b) of the Credit Agreement, any assets subject to a Securitization Transaction; or (ii) Accounts, Leases, contractual rights or any other assets subject to any Like-Kind Exchange;

 

(v)           the equity interests, and any certificates or instruments in respect thereof, in United Rentals of Nova Scotia (No.1), ULC and United Rentals of Nova Scotia (No.2), ULC or any other Nova Scotia unlimited liability company;

 

(vi)          the equity interests, and any certificates or instruments in respect thereof, in any joint venture or non-wholly owned Subsidiary, the governing agreements of which prohibit the pledge or other granting of security over equity interests in such Subsidiary and such prohibition has not been or is not waived or the consent of the other party to such contract has not been or is not otherwise obtained or under Requirements of Law such prohibition cannot be waived;

 

(vii)         any real property or any fee interest or leasehold interest in real property, including fixtures affixed or attached thereto;

 

(viii)        any right, title or interest in or to any copyrights, copyright licenses, patents, patent applications, patent licenses, trade secrets, trade secret licenses,

 

5

(ix)          any asset with respect to which the Agent and the Company have reasonably agreed that the cost of creating and/or perfecting a security interest therein is excessive in relation to the benefit to the Secured Parties of the security to be afforded thereby.

 

Subject to any limitations set forth herein, all of the Obligations of each Grantor shall be secured by all of the Collateral of such Grantor and any other property of such Grantor that secures any such Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, all parties hereto agree that at no time shall any U.S. Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of a U.S. Obligor (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) be secured by any of the Collateral of the Canadian Borrower or UR Financing Partnership or any other property of the Canadian Borrower or UR Financing Partnership.

 

SECTION 3.         Perfection and Protection of Security Interest.

 

(a)           (a) Except as explicitly set forth herein or in the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall, at its expense, perform all steps reasonably requested in writing by the Agent to perfect, maintain or protect the Agent’s Liens, including:  (i) executing and filing financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereof; (ii) executing, delivering and/or filing and recording in all appropriate offices the Intellectual Property Security Agreement (to the extent required under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to which such Grantor is a party); (iii) when an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 10.1(a), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (n) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, at the reasonable request of the Agent, transferring Inventory to warehouses or other locations designated by the Agent; (iv)  when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, placing notations on such Grantor’s books of account to disclose the Agent’s Liens; (v) taking such other steps reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain and protect the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral and (vi) in the case of the Security Collateral, (A) if any Pledged Debt shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument with an individual amount in excess of $10,000,000, deliver and pledge to the Agent hereunder such note or instrument duly indorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and (B) deliver and pledge to the Agent for benefit of the Secured Parties certificates representing Pledged Equity that constitutes certificated securities, accompanied by undated stock powers executed in blank; provided that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of the Grantors will be required to (i) take any action in any jurisdiction other than the Canada (including any province or territory thereof) or United States of America (including any state thereof), or required by the laws of any such other jurisdiction, or enter into any security agreement or pledge agreement governed by the laws of any such other jurisdiction, in order to either create any security interests (or other Liens) in assets located or titled outside of Canada (including any province or territory thereof) and the United States of America (including any state thereof) or to perfect any security interests (or other Liens) in any non-Canadian or non-

 

6











 

U.S. Collateral, (ii) deliver landlord lien waivers, estoppels or collateral access letters or (iii) file any fixture filing with respect to any security interest in fixtures affixed to or attached to any real property.

 

(b)           Unless the Agent shall otherwise consent in writing (which consent may be revoked at any time and from time to time), each Grantor shall deliver to the Agent all the Collateral consisting of negotiable Documents, Chattel Paper and Instruments (other than cheques received and processed in the ordinary course), in each case, with an individual value in excess of $10,000,000, promptly after such Grantor receives the same, and shall do everything reasonably requested by the Agent to ensure that the Agent obtains “Control” (as such term is defined in the Securities Transfer Act, 2006, S.O. c.8, the “STA”) of said documents and rights, but if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Grantor agrees to deliver to the Agent all such Collateral (regardless of value) upon the Agent’s request.

 

(c)           Upon obtaining an interest therein (but in the case of clause (ii) below, subject to the time period specified in Section 7.17(a) of the Credit Agreement), unless waived by the Agent in writing (which waiver may be revoked at any time and from time to time), each Grantor shall obtain control or blocked account agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, executed and delivered by (i) each issuer of uncertificated securities with an individual value in excess of $10,000,000, securities intermediary, and futures intermediary issuing or holding any financial assets or futures to or for such Grantor, except for securities and futures accounts of the Grantors that are not Material Accounts, and (ii) each depository bank at which such Grantor maintains a Material Account.

 

(d)           Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any PPSA, UCC, Quebec Civil Code (“CCQ”) or other applicable filing office any financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of the State of New York or such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) contain any other information required by such jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including where applicable whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to such Grantor.  Each Grantor agrees to furnish any such information to the Agent promptly upon request.  Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have filed in any UCC, PPSA, CCQ or other applicable filing office any like financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

 

(e)           Until Full Payment of the Obligations, the Agent’s Liens shall continue in full force and effect in all the Collateral (whether or not deemed eligible for the purpose of calculating the Availability or as the basis for any advance, loan, extension of credit, or other financial accommodation), provided that, the Agent agrees to release its Lien in any Collateral that is sold or disposed of by a Grantor as permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to release (if any) set forth in the Credit Agreement, including the continuance of the Agent’s Lien in any proceeds of such released Collateral.

 

7












 

(f)                                   Each Grantor will give prompt written notice to the Agent of any change in its name, legal form or jurisdiction of organization (whether by merger or otherwise) (and in any event, within 30 days of such change); provided that, promptly after receiving a written request therefor from the Agent, such Grantor shall deliver to the Agent all additional financing statements and other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests created hereunder and other documents reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests as and to the extent provided for herein and upon receipt of such additional financing statements the Agent shall either promptly file such additional financing statements or approve the filing of such additional financing statements by such Grantor. Upon any such approval such Grantor shall proceed with the filing of the additional financing statements and deliver copies (or other evidence of filing) of the additional filed financing statements to the Agent.

 

(g)                                  No Grantor shall enter into any contract or agreement that restricts or prohibits the grant of a security interest in Accounts, Chattel Paper, Leases, Instruments or Payment Intangibles or the proceeds of the foregoing to the Agent, except for any agreement permitted pursuant to Section 8.8 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(h)                                 Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement or financing change statement with respect to any financing statement filed by the Agent without the prior written consent of the Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of the Agent.

 

(i)                                     With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security, such Grantor shall, to the extent the issuer thereof is a controlled Affiliate of the Grantor, or otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to, cause the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement without further consent of such Grantor.

 

(j)                                    Each Grantor agrees that it will pledge hereunder, promptly following its acquisition thereof, any and all additional Security Collateral (subject to any limitations contained herein with respect thereto) and deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties certificates or instruments representing any such Security Collateral that constitutes certificated securities, accompanied by undated stock or bond powers executed in blank.

8

SECTION 12.                     Right to Cure.

Each Grantor ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney.

SECTION 14.                     The Agent’s and the Other Secured Parties’ Rights, Duties and Liabilities.

 

(a)                                 As between the Grantors and the Secured Parties, each Grantor assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use, sale, lease, license or other disposition of the Collateral.  None of the Obligations shall be affected by any failure of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to take any steps to perfect the Agent’s Liens or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release any Grantor from any of the Obligations.  Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may (but shall not be required to), and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to (except as required under the Credit Agreement or under any applicable law) or consent from any Grantor, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of Grantors for the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter existing between any of the Secured Parties and any Grantor.

 

(b)                                 It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor shall remain liable under each Lease and each of its other contracts, agreements and licenses to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder.  Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have any obligation or liability under any Lease, contract, agreement or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties of any payment relating to any Lease, contract, agreement or license pursuant hereto.  Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Lease, contract, agreement or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Lease, contract, agreement or license, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 

(c)                                  With respect to Accounts and Leases, in each case not subject to any Securitization Transaction or Like-Kind Exchange, the Agent may, at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or if any rights of set-off (other than set-offs

 

11











 

against an Account arising under the contract giving rise to the same Account) or contra accounts may be asserted with respect to the following), without prior notice to any Grantor, notify Account Debtors, parties to Leases and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that the Agent has a security interest therein, and that payments shall be made directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Upon the request of the Agent, each Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on such Collateral.  Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on such Collateral and while any Event of Default exists and is continuing, no Grantor shall give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without the Agent’s prior written consent.

 

(d)                                 With respect to Accounts, and Leases, in each case not subject to any Securitization Transaction or Like-Kind Exchange, in connection with any audit, inspection or appraisal under, and subject to the terms of, Section 7.9 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent may at any time in the Agent’s own name, or in the name of any Grantor, following consultation with and notice to the Grantors, or without such notice and consultation during the continuance of an Event of Default, communicate with Account Debtors, parties to Leases, contracts, agreements or licenses to which such Grantor is a party, and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons, to the Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of Accounts, Leases, contracts and agreements, payment intangibles, Instruments or Chattel Paper.  Grantors shall deliver to the Agent, at their own expense, the results of each physical verification, if any, which any Grantor may in its discretion have made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of the Inventory.

 

SECTION 15.                     Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

 

(a)                                 Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Secured Parties that (i) as of the Agreement Date, such Grantor does not have any interest in, or title to, any material issued or applied-for patents, registered or applied-for trademarks or registered or applied-for copyrights except as set forth in Schedule II hereto and, (ii) this Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements referred to in Section 3(f) of this Agreement, the recording of the Trademark Agreement and the Patent Agreement with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and subsequent filings for any hereafter acquired, issued or applied-for patents, registered or applied-for trademarks or issued or applied-for copyrights, are effective to create valid, perfected, first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) and continuing Liens in favour of the Agent on such material patents, trademarks and copyrights.

 

(b)                                 Each Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly if it knows that any application or registration relating to any material patent, trademark or copyright (now or hereafter existing) owned or licensed by such Grantor will become abandoned or dedicated, or of any material and 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) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any material patent, trademark or copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

 

(c)                                  If, before Full Payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Lenders’ commitments to lend under the Credit Agreement, any Grantor shall obtain ownership of any additional issued or applied-for patent, registered or applied-for trademark or issued or

 

12











 

applied-for copyright (except to the extent any application for a trademark is excluded from the definition of “Collateral” under subclause (c) of Section 2 of this Agreement), with respect to goods sold in such Grantor’s business, the Agent shall have a Lien in, and the provisions of Section 2 shall automatically apply to, such issued or applied-for patent, registered or applied-for trademark or issued or applied-for copyright, and also to any composite marks or other marks of such Grantor which are confusingly similar to such mark, and such Grantor shall give to the Agent prompt written notice of such ownership within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar year or more frequently upon the request of the Agent, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in which such Grantor obtains ownership of such patent, trademark, or copyright.  This Section 15(c) shall not apply to trademarks which are owned by others and licensed to any Grantor.

 

(d)                                 Each Grantor authorizes the Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule II to include any additional issued or applied-for patents, registered or applied-for copyrights or registered or applied-for trademarks owned by such Grantor and not included in Schedule II, and to have this Agreement, as amended, or any other document evidencing the security interest granted therein, recorded in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office at the expense of such Grantor.  The Agent shall provide notice to the Grantors of any amendment or modification to be effected pursuant to this Section.

 

(e)                                  Upon written request of the Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver any and all security agreements and other notices of the Agent’s Liens as the Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Agent’s Lien on such patent, trademark or copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

 

(f)                                   Each Grantor shall take all actions reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the patents, trademarks and copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings, unless such Grantor shall determine that such patent, trademark or copyright is not material to the conduct of its business.

 

(g)                                  In the event that any Grantor has knowledge that any of the material patent, trademark or copyright Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly after such Grantor learns thereof.  Each Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral is not material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly take commercially reasonable actions including such actions as the Agent shall reasonably request under the circumstances to protect such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral.

 

SECTION 16.                     Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc..

 

(a)                                 So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor (i) shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right

 

13











 

if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Security Collateral or any part thereof and (ii) shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents; provided that such Grantor shall deliver and pledge to the Agent any such dividends or distributions payable in the form of stock to the extent required hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of each Grantor (i) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 16(a) shall, upon written notice to such Grantor by the Agent, cease and (ii) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 16(a) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions

 

SECTION 17.                     Indemnification.  In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto or to enforce any rights or claims with respect thereto, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to save, indemnify and keep the Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favour of, such obligor or its successors from any Grantor, except in the case of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties, to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent or such other Secured Party.  All such obligations of Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and only against Grantors and shall not be enforceable against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties.

 

SECTION 18.                     Limitation on Liens on Collateral.  No Grantor will create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Permitted Liens, and will defend the right, title and interest of the Agent and the other Secured Parties in and to any of such Grantor’s rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands (other than Permitted Liens) of all Persons whomsoever.

 

SECTION 19.                     Extensions. The Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation and perfection of security interests in, or obtaining a delivery of documents or other deliverables with respect to, particular assets of any Grantor where it determines that (x) such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be accomplished by this Agreement or any other Security Documents or (y) such an extension is otherwise appropriate.

 

14











 

SECTION 20.                     Remedies; Rights Upon Default.

 

(a)                                 In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations or pursuant to any other applicable law, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA, UCC, CCQ and other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the PPSA, UCC and CCQ and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of such Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Agent’s claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until the Agent or the other Secured Parties receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the Agent may resell the Collateral without further notice to any Grantor. The Agent or any of the other Secured Parties 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 for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases.  Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice.  The Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on premises of any Grantor or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as the Agent deems necessary or advisable.

 

(b)                                 Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent’s request following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place or places designated by the Agent which are reasonably convenient to the Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.  Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use the Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent.  The Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with respect to the Collateral while the Collateral is in the possession of the Agent or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. In the event the Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by the judicial process, each Grantor irrevocably waives (i) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral and (ii) any requirement that the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment.  The Agent may, if it so elects, and, 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

 

15











 

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 Secured Parties and the Agent have under this Security 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 the Grantor, and the Secured Parties and the Agent shall not be responsible for any act or default of any such Receiver.  The 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 Agent or any of the other Secured Parties.  A court need not appoint, ratify the appointment by the Agent of or otherwise supervise in any manner the actions of any Receiver.  Upon the Grantor receiving notice from the 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 the Grantor with respect to the Collateral shall cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of the Agent.  The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations first to all expenses of collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, including reasonable attorney’s fees, and then as provided in the Credit Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the applicable Grantor.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Unless a greater period of time is required by applicable law, each Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by the Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters.  Each Grantor shall remain liable, jointly and severally with the other Grantors, for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees or other expenses (to the extent provided for herein or in the Credit Agreement) incurred by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.

 

(c)                                  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

 

(d)                                 To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare the Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to the Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of the Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on the Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against the Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against

 

16











 

Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on the Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of the Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of the Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of the Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of the Collateral, (l) to dispose of Leases, Inventory and related Collateral in one or more portfolio sales or in individual sale transactions, or (m) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 19(d) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 19(d).  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 19(d) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 19(d).

 

SECTION 21.                     Grant of License to Use Proprietary Rights.  Solely for the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 19 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 19 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral), effective solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and exercisable at such time as the Agent shall be otherwise lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Proprietary Rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

 

SECTION 22.                     Limitation on the Agent’s and the Other Secured Parties’ Duty in Respect of Collateral.  The Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.  Except as required by applicable law, neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of the Agent or nominee of the Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

SECTION 23.                     Miscellaneous. Reinstatement.

 

(a)                                 This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

(b)                                 Notices.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  This Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of the Agent, the other Secured Parties and Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein provided that, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall govern.

 

(d)                                 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Amendments and Additional Grantors.

 

(i)                                     Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth.  A waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion.  No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

 

18











 

(ii)                                  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Agent and Grantors.  Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security Agreement Supplement.

 

(e)                                  Limitation by Law.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 

(f)                                   Termination of this Agreement; Releases.

 

(i)                                     Subject to Section 22(a) hereof, this Agreement shall terminate upon Full Payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Lenders’ commitments to lend under the Credit Agreement.

 

(ii)                                  The Agent shall release, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to release (if any) set forth in the Credit Agreement, including the continuance of the applicable Agent’s Lien in any proceeds of released Collateral, any such Agent’s Liens upon any applicable Collateral pursuant to the terms of Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(iii)                               Upon any Collateral being or becoming an Excluded Asset, the Lien created hereby on such Collateral shall automatically terminate and be released without further actions by any Person.  In connection therewith, the Agent, at the request and sole expense of the applicable Grantor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence such termination and release in accordance with Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(g)                                  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of such Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and shall, together with the rights, remedies and obligations of the Agent, hereunder, inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Secured Parties, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns.  No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder.  Except as expressly

 

19











 

permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, no Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Agreement.

 

(h)                                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one and the same agreement.  This Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or by electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

 

(i)                                     Governing Law.  This General Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario.

 

ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO OR OF THE FEDERAL COURTS OF CANADA THEREIN, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH OF THE GRANTORS AND THE AGENT CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE GRANTORS AND THE AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH GRANTOR WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF ONTARIO.

 

The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim, whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity with respect to, in connection with, or arising out of this General Security Agreement, other financing agreements, the obligations of the Borrowers and the Corporation, the Collateral, or any instrument, document or guarantee delivered pursuant hereto or to any of the foregoing, or the validity, protection, interpretation, administration, collection or enforcement hereof or thereof, or any other claim or dispute hereunder or thereunder. The Corporation agrees that it will not assert against the Lender any claim for consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages in connection with this General Security Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  No officer of the Lender has authority to waive, condition, or modify this provision.

 

(j)                                    Judgment Currency:  If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Lender could purchase in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. The Corporation agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder

 

20











 

shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Lender receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, the Corporation agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Lender against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 8.16 means the spot rate at which the Lender, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

 

(k)                                 Section Titles.  The Section titles contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

 

(l)                                     No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

(m)                             Advice of Counsel.  Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 22(i) and Section 22(j), with its counsel.

 

(n)                                 Benefit of the Secured Parties.  All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and all proceeds or payments realized from the Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Obligations (or the Guaranteed Obligations, as applicable) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 24.                     Amendment and Restatement

 

On the date hereof, the Existing Security Agreement is hereby amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined under the Existing Credit Agreement) or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated on the date hereof); and (iii) the security interests, Lien and pledge granted under the Existing Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and are hereby fully ratified and affirmed in favour of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Grantors hereby fully and unconditionally ratifies and affirms this Agreement and agrees that all security interests, Liens and pledges granted hereunder

 

21











 

and under the Existing Security Agreement shall from and after the date hereof secure all Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
