unconditionally, and irrevocably, guarantees to the Canadian Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each Canadian Borrower when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations of such Canadian Borrower owed to the applicable Secured Parties. 
 (b)    The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (i) the first date on which all the Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans, any
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Canadian Facility Letters of Credit, all other Borrower Obligations then due and owing, and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 then due and owing shall
have been satisfied by payment in full in cash, no Canadian Facility Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (except for Canadian Facility Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Canadian Facility Issuing
Lender) and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the ABL Credit Agreement any of the Canadian Borrowers may be free from any Borrower Obligations, (ii) as to any Guarantor, the sale or
other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (to a Person other than the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) as permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement, or (iii) as to any Guarantor, the designation of such Guarantor

Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of any of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise
affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect

Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Canadian Facility Letters of Credit, all other Borrower Obligations then due and owing, are paid in full in cash, no Canadian Facility Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (except for Canadian Facility

any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, waived, modified, accelerated,
compromised, subordinated, waived, surrendered or released by the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or any other Secured Party, and the ABL Credit Agreement and the Other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in

 -11- 

 
Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or
nonpayment to or upon any Canadian Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to any of the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that the guarantee contained in this Section 2
shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all defenses (other than any suit for breach of a
contractual provision of any of the Loan Documents) that it may have arising out of or in connection with any and all of the following: (a) the validity or enforceability of the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the
Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any
defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by any of the Canadian Borrowers against the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or any other Secured

the Canadian Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto, including, without limitation: (i) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of any currency
(other than Dollars) for Dollars or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of Dollars in any legal exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice, (ii) a declaration of
banking moratorium or any suspension of payments by banks in such jurisdiction or the imposition by such jurisdiction or any Governmental Authority thereof of any moratorium on, the required rescheduling or restructuring of, or required approval of
payments on, any indebtedness in such jurisdiction, (iii) any expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition by such country or any Governmental Authority that directly or indirectly deprives any Canadian Borrower of any assets or
their use, or of the ability to operate its business or a material part thereof, or (iv) any war (whether or not declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in such jurisdiction which has the same
effect as the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above (in each of the cases contemplated in clauses (i) through (iv) above, to the extent occurring or existing on or at any time after the date of this Agreement), or
(h) any other circumstance whatsoever (other than payment in full in cash of the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by it hereunder) (with or without notice to or knowledge of any of the Borrowers or such Guarantor) that constitutes, or might be
construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any of the Canadian Borrowers for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making
any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent and any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or
otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any of the Canadian Borrowers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor
hereunder or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from
any Canadian Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any of the Canadian Borrowers, any other Guarantor or any other
Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter
of law, of the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

continues to be effective should any petition or other proceeding be filed by or against any Canadian Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, should any Canadian Borrower become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or
creditors or should an interim receiver, receiver, receiver and manager or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Canadian Borrower’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or to 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 fraudulent
preference, reviewable transaction 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

 3.3.1    Each
Grantor acknowledges that certain of the Pledged Collateral of such Grantor may now or in the future consist of ULC Shares, and that it is the intention of the Canadian Collateral Agent and each Grantor that neither the Canadian Collateral Agent nor
any other Secured Party should under any circumstances prior to realization be held to be a “member” or a “shareholder”, as applicable, of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws. Therefore, notwithstanding any provisions to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, where a Grantor is the registered and beneficial owner of ULC Shares which are Pledged Collateral of such Grantor, such Grantor will remain the sole
registered and beneficial owner of such ULC Shares until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the Canadian Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person on the books and records of the applicable
ULC. Accordingly, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend on or other distribution, if any, in respect of such ULC Shares (except for any dividend or distribution comprised of Pledged Security
Certificates of such Grantor, which shall be delivered to the Canadian Collateral Agent to hold hereunder) and shill have the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the applicable ULC to the same
extent as such Grantor would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the Canadian Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is intended to, and nothing in this Agreement, the ABL
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, constitute the Canadian Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person other than the applicable Grantor, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws (whether
listed or unlisted, registered or beneficial), until such time as notice is given to such Grantor and further steps are taken pursuant hereto or thereto so as to register the Canadian Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or such other Person,
as specified in such notice, as the holder of the ULC Shares. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party as a member or a shareholder, as applicable, of any ULC
prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and shall be ineffective with respect to ULC Shares which are Pledged Collateral of any Grantor without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or
rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged Collateral of any Grantor which is 

  

 -15- 

 
not ULC Shares. Except upon the exercise of rights of the Canadian Collateral Agent to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with
this Agreement, each Grantor shall not cause or permit, or enable a Pledged Issuer that is a ULC to cause or permit, the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to: (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such Pledged
Issuer; (b) have any notation entered in their favour in the share register of such Pledged Issuer; (c) be held out as shareholders or members of such Pledged Issuer; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or
other distributions from such Pledged Issuer by reason of the Canadian Collateral Agent holding the Security Interests over the ULC Shares; or (e) act as a shareholder of such Pledged Issuer, or exercise any rights of a shareholder including
the right to attend a meeting of shareholders of such Pledged Issuer or to vote its ULC Shares. 
 3.3.2    The Collateral shall not include the last day of the term of any lease or agreement therefor but upon the enforcement of the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral, the Grantors or any of them shall
stand possessed of such last day in trust to assign the same to any person acquiring such term. 
 3.3.3    The term “Goods” when used in this Agreement shall not include Consumer Goods of any Grantor. 
 3.3.4    Notwithstanding Section 3.1, any Grantor’s grant of security in Trade-marks under this Agreement shall be limited to a grant by such Grantor of a security interest in all of such
Grantor’s right, title and interest in such Trade-marks. 
 3.3.5    Each Grantor and the Canadian
Collateral Agent hereby acknowledge that (a) value has been given in respect of the security interests granted herein; (b) such Grantor has rights in the Collateral in which it has granted a security interest; and (c) this Agreement
constitutes a security agreement as that term is defined in the PPSA. 
 3.3.6    If the Collateral is
realized upon and the security interest in the Collateral is not sufficient to satisfy all of the Borrower Obligations or Guarantor Obligations, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the provisions of the PPSA, such Grantor shall
continue to be liable for any Borrower Obligations or Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, remaining outstanding and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be entitled to pursue full payment thereof.

Intercreditor Agreement or the recording of other applicable documents in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office may be necessary for perfection or enforceability, and except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

6.1(d) hereof. 
 (c)    At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement, at the Canadian Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Canadian Collateral Agent copies or, if required by the Canadian Collateral Agent for the
enforcement thereof or foreclosure thereon, originals of all documents held by such Grantor evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, including,
without limitation, all statements relating to such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral and all orders, invoices and shipping receipts. 
 (d)    So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall instruct the Collateral Account Bank to promptly remit any funds on deposit in each
Grantor’s Collateral Proceeds Account to such Grantor’s General Fund Account or any other account designated by such Grantor. In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the 

  

 -27- 

 
Canadian Collateral Agent and the Grantors agree that the Canadian Collateral Agent, at its option, may require that each Collateral Proceeds Account and the
General Fund Account of each Grantor be established at the Canadian Collateral Agent. Each Grantor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to withdraw such of its own funds from its own General Fund Account, and to maintain such
balances in its General Fund Account, as it shall deem to be necessary or desirable. 
 6.2    Communications with
Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. 
 (a)    The Canadian Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others,
may at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement, communicate with obligors under the Accounts Receivable and parties to the
Contracts (in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral) to verify with them to the Canadian Collateral Agent’s’ satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts Receivable or Contracts. 
 (b)    Upon the request of the Canadian Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall notify obligors on such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable and parties to such Grantor’s Contracts (in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral) that
such Accounts Receivable and such Contracts have been assigned to the Canadian Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Canadian Collateral Agent.

 (c)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of such
Grantor’s Accounts Receivable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. None of the Canadian Collateral Agent,
the Canadian Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Canadian Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account Receivable (or
any agreement giving rise thereto) to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take
any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. 
 6.3    Pledged Securities. 
 (a)    Subject to subsection
3.3.1 hereof, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Pledgor of the Canadian Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights
pursuant to subsection 6.3(b), each Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Securities (subject to the last two sentences of subsection 5.3.4 of this Agreement) and all payments made
in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the ABL Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate
right exercised or such other action taken (other than in connection with a transaction expressly permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement) which, in the Canadian Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, would materially impair the Pledged
Securities or the related rights or remedies of the Secured Parties or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the ABL Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
  

 -28- 

 (b)    If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Canadian
Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Pledgor or Pledgors, (i) the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Secured Party Representative, acting as agent for the Canadian Collateral Agent, in
accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall have the right, except in the case of ULC Shares, to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application
thereof to the Obligations of the relevant Pledgor in such order as is provided in subsection 6.5, and (ii) except in the case of ULC Shares, any or all of the Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Canadian Collateral Agent
or the Secured Party Representative, or the respective nominee of either thereof, as applicable, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Secured Party Representative, or the respective nominee of
either thereof, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, may thereafter exercise (x) except in the case of ULC Shares, all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any
meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) except in the case of ULC Shares, any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged
Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities, other than ULC Shares, upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by the relevant Pledgor or the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement, of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, other than ULC Shares, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities, other than ULC Shares,
with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, may reasonably determine), all without liability (other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct) except to account for property actually received by it, but the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Secured Party
Representative, as applicable, shall have no duty to any Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing, provided that the Canadian Collateral Agent or the
Secured Party Representative, as applicable, shall not exercise any voting or other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Securities in any way that would constitute an exercise of the remedies described in subsection 6.6 other than in
accordance with subsection 6.6. 
 (c)    Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer or maker of any
Pledged Securities pledged by such Pledgor hereunder, other than ULC Shares, to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Canadian Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer or maker shall be fully protected in so complying, and
(ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted or prohibited hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Canadian Collateral Agent. 
 6.4    Proceeds To Be Turned Over to the Canadian Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Canadian Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties specified in subsection 6.1 with respect to payments of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have instructed any
Grantor to do so, all Proceeds of Collateral received by such Grantor consisting of cash, cheques and other Cash Equivalent items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereto, the Cash
Flow Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, any Additional Agent and the other applicable Additional Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, segregated 

  

 -29- 

 
from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Cash Flow
Collateral Agent, any Additional Agent or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (or their respective agents appointed for purposes of perfection), in the exact form received by
such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Cash Flow Collateral Agent, any Additional Agent or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if
required). All Proceeds of Collateral received by the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Canadian Collateral Agent in the relevant Collateral Proceeds Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds of
Collateral while held by the Canadian Collateral Agent in such Collateral Proceeds Account (or by the relevant Grantor in trust for the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all
the Obligations of such Grantor and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in subsection 6.5. 
 6.5    Application of Proceeds. It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all Proceeds of the relevant Grantor’s Collateral (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement)
received by the Canadian Collateral Agent (whether from the relevant Grantor or otherwise) shall be held by the Canadian Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations of the relevant Grantor
(whether matured or unmatured), and/or then or at any time thereafter may, in the sole discretion of the Canadian Collateral Agent, be applied by the Canadian Collateral Agent against the Obligations of the relevant Grantor then due and owing in the
order of priority set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 6.6    PPSA and Other Remedies. 
 (a)    Subject to subsection 3.3.1 hereof, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Canadian Collateral Agent, on
behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations to the
extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), the Winding-Up and Restructuring Act (Canada) and
the PPSA and under any other applicable law and in equity. Subject to subsection 3.3.1 hereof, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Canadian Collateral Agent, without demand of performance
or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are
hereby waived), may in such circumstances, forthwith (subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith,
subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses, sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at
public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best,
for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such sale or sales, to purchase the whole or
any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in such Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Canadian Collateral Agent’s request (subject to the terms of
any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing), to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Canadian Collateral Agent at places which the Canadian Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any 

  

 -30- 

 
action taken by it pursuant to this subsection 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or
incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations of the relevant Grantor then due and owing, in the order of priority specified in subsection 6.5 above, and only after such application and after the payment by the
Canadian Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Canadian Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to such Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) such Grantor waives all claims,
damages and demands it may acquire against the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, other than any such claims, damages and demands that may arise from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Canadian Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, and (ii) if any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable
and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 
 (b)    The Canadian Collateral Agent may
appoint, remove or reappoint by instrument in writing, any Person or Persons, whether an officer or officers or an employee or employees of any Grantor or not, to be an interim receiver, receiver or receivers (hereinafter called a
“Receiver”, which term when used herein shall include a receiver and manager) of such Collateral (including any interest, income or profits therefrom). Any such Receiver shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed
the agent of such Grantor and not of the Canadian Collateral Agent, and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver or its servants, agents or
employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing it, any such Receiver shall (i) have such powers as have been granted to the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Section 6 and (ii) shall be entitled to exercise such
powers at any time that such powers would otherwise be exercisable by the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Section 6, which powers shall include, but (subject to subsection 3.3.1 hereof) are not limited to, the power to take possession of
the Collateral, to preserve the Collateral or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of such Grantor and, subject to existing reserved rights or licenses, to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or
concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of the Collateral. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including any Grantor, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or
occupied by such Grantor wherein the Collateral may be situate, maintain the Collateral upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use the Collateral directly in carrying on such Grantor’s business or as security for
loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on such Grantor’s business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by the Canadian Collateral Agent, all money received
from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her/its appointment shall be received in trust for and be paid over to the Canadian Collateral Agent and any surplus shall be applied in accordance with applicable law. Every such Receiver may,
in the discretion of the Canadian Collateral Agent, be vested with, in addition to the rights set out herein, all or any of the rights and powers of the Canadian Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent described in the ABL Credit Agreement, the PPSA,
the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) or the Winding-Up and Restructuring Act (Canada). 
 6.7    Registration Rights. 
 (a)    If the Canadian
Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Securities pursuant to subsection 6.6, and if in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent it is necessary or reasonably advisable to have the
Pledged Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the applicable securities legislation, the relevant 

  

 -31- 

 
Pledgor will, subject to subsection 3.3.1 hereof, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and use its
best efforts to cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent,
necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the applicable securities legislation, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement relating
thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of not more than one year from the date of the first public offering of such Pledged Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or
to the related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the applicable securities legislation and the rules and regulations of the applicable
securities commission or regulation applicable thereto. Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities laws of any and all provinces and territories that the Canadian
Collateral Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, any statements (which need not be audited) that will satisfy the provisions of applicable securities legislation. 
 (b)    Such Pledgor recognizes that the Canadian Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all such Pledged
Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained applicable securities legislation or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Such Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less
favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Canadian
Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under applicable securities legislation,
even if such Issuer would agree to do so. 
 (c)    Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to do or cause
to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of such Pledged Securities pursuant to this subsection 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law.
Such Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this subsection 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders have no adequate
remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this subsection 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Pledgor hereby
waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the ABL Credit Agreement. 
 6.8    Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay in full, the Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans, Reimbursement Obligations constituting Obligations of such Grantor and, to the extent then due and owing, all other Obligations of such
Grantor and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any legal counsel employed by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

 SECTION 7    THE CANADIAN COLLATERAL AGENT 
 7.1    Canadian Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. 
 (a)    Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Canadian Collateral Agent and any authorized officer or agent
thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out
the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable
law, provided that the Canadian Collateral Agent agrees not to exercise such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time when an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law), (x) each Pledgor hereby gives the Canadian Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice or assent by such
Pledgor, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in subsection 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assessments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral, and (y) each Grantor
hereby gives the Canadian Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following: 
 (i)    subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing, in the name of such Grantor
or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any cheques, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account Receivable of such Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with
respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor and file any claim or take any other action or institute any proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Canadian Collateral Agent for the impose of collecting any
and all such moneys due under any Account Receivable of such Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor whenever payable; 
 (ii)    in the case of any Copyright, Patent, Trade-mark or Industrial Design constituting Collateral of such
Grantor, execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Canadian Collateral Agent may reasonably request to such Grantor to evidence the Canadian Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest
in such Copyright, Patent, Trade-mark or Industrial Design and the goodwill and intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; 
 (iii)    pay or discharge taxes and Liens, other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including Permitted Liens), levied or placed on the Collateral of such
Grantor, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and 
 (iv)    subject to subsection 3.3.1 hereof and the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose
Financing, (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral of such Grantor to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Canadian Collateral Agent or as the Canadian Collateral
Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral of such Grantor; (C) sign
and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral of such Grantor;
(D) commence and 

  

 -33- 

 
prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral of such Grantor or any
portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral of such Grantor; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor; (F) settle, compromise or
adjust any such suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Canadian Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (G) subject to any existing reserved rights
or licenses, assign any Copyright, Patent, Trade-mark or Industrial Design constituting Collateral of such Grantor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent, Trade-mark or Industrial Design pertains), for such term
or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Canadian Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral of such Grantor as fully and completely as though the Canadian Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Canadian Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from
time to time, all acts and things which the Canadian Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral of such Grantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests
therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. 
 (b)    The
reasonable expenses of the Canadian Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this subsection 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be
payable on past due Loans, from the date of payment by the Canadian Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Canadian Collateral Agent on demand. 
 (c)    Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers,
authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable as to the relevant Grantor until this Agreement is terminated as to such Grantor, and the security interests in the Collateral of such Grantor
created hereby are released. 
 7.2    Duty of Canadian Collateral Agent. The Canadian Collateral Agent’s
sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Canadian Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of
the Canadian Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be
under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or, except as otherwise provided herein, to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.
The powers conferred on the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Canadian Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of
such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or for their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. 
 7.3    Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Canadian
Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements, financing change statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to such Grantor’s Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such
offices as the Canadian Collateral Agent reasonably 

  

 -34- 

 
determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Canadian
Collateral Agent to use any collateral description reasonably determined by the Canadian Collateral Agent, including the collateral description “all personal property” or “all assets” in any such financing statements or financing
change statements. The Canadian Collateral Agent agrees to notify the relevant Grantor of any financing or continuation statement filed by it; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any
such filing. 
 7.4    Authority of Canadian Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Canadian Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Canadian Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment
or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall, as between the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by
the ABL Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be
acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 
 7.5    Right of Inspection. Upon reasonable written advance notice to any Grantor and as often as may reasonably be desired,
or at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to all the books, correspondence and records of
such Grantor, and the Canadian Collateral Agent and its representatives may examine the same, and to the extent reasonable take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and such Grantor agrees to render to the Canadian Collateral Agent, at
such Grantor’s reasonable cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Canadian Collateral Agent and its representatives shall also have the right, upon reasonable advance written
notice to such Grantor subject to any lease restrictions, to enter during normal business hours into and upon any premises owned, leased or operated by such Grantor where any of such Grantor’s Inventory or Equipment is located for the purpose
of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein. 
 SECTION 8    NON-LENDER
SECURED PARTIES 
 8.1    Rights to Collateral. 
 (a)    The Non-Lender Secured Parties shall not have any right whatsoever to do any of the following; (i) exercise any rights or
remedies with respect to the Collateral (such term, as used in this Section 8, having the meaning assigned to it in the ABL Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, the right to (A) enforce any Liens or sell or otherwise foreclose
on any portion of the Collateral, (B) request any action, institute any proceedings, exercise any voting rights, give any instructions, make any election, notice account debtors or make collections with respect to all or any portion of the
Collateral or (C) release any Guarantor under this Agreement or release any Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document or consent to or otherwise approve any such release; (ii) demand, accept or obtain any Lien on any Collateral
(except for Liens arising under, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement); (iii) vote in any Bankruptcy Case or similar proceeding in respect of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (any such proceeding, for purposes of this
clause (a), a “Bankruptcy”) with respect to, or take any other actions concerning the Collateral; (iv) receive any proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral (except in accordance with this
Agreement); (v) oppose any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral; (vi) object to any debtor-in-possession financing in any Bankruptcy Case 

  

 -35- 

 
which is provided by one or more Lenders among others; (vii) object to the use of cash collateral in respect of the Collateral in any Bankruptcy; or
(viii) seek, or object to the Lenders seeking on an equal and ratable basis, any adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Collateral in any Bankruptcy. 
 (b)    Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, agrees
that in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Canadian Facility Lenders, with the consent of the Canadian Collateral Agent, may enforce the provisions of the Security Documents and
exercise remedies thereunder and under any other Loan Documents (or refrain froth enforcing rights and exercising remedies), all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole business judgment. Such exercise
and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to collect, sell, dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such collection, sale, disposition or other realization and
to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the PPSA. The Non-Lender Secured Parties by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents hereby agree not to contest or otherwise challenge any
such collection, sale, disposition or other realization of or upon all or any of the Collateral. Whether or not a Bankruptcy Case has been commenced, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or other disposition
of any property, business or assets of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the release of any or all of the Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document in connection therewith. 
 (c)    Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 8.1, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary
responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleadings (A) in order to prevent any Person from seeking to foreclose on the Collateral or supersede the Non-Lender Secured Parties’ claim
thereto or (B) in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Non-Lender Secured Parties.

from its Obligations hereunder, all without any liability or obligation (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) to the Non-Lender Secured Parties. 
 8.2    Appointment of Agent. Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, shall be deemed irrevocably to make,
constitute and appoint the Canadian Collateral Agent, as agent under the ABL Credit Agreement (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Canadian Collateral Agent) as such Person’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and
in such capacity, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for the Non-Lender Secured Parties and in each such Person’s name or otherwise, to effectuate any sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Canadian Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Non-Lender Secured Parties for the purposes set forth herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. It is
understood and agreed that the Canadian Collateral Agent has appointed the Canadian Agent as its agent for purposes of perfecting certain of the security interests created hereunder and for otherwise carrying out certain of its obligations
hereunder.

Collateral Agent or the Lenders or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect, to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation,
any such exercise described in subsection 8.1(b) above), except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. None of the Canadian Collateral Agent, any Lender or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral
upon the request of the Parent Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, any Non-Lender Secured Party or any other Person or to take any other action or forbear from doing so whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except for any such
action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. 
 SECTION
9    MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1    Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent; provided that (a) any provision of this Agreement imposing
obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the Canadian Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Canadian Collateral Agent and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection 11.1 of the ABL Credit Agreement, no such
waiver and no such amendment or modification shall amend, modify or waive the definition of “Secured Party” or subsection 6.5 if such waiver, amendment, or modification would adversely affect a Secured Party without the written consent of
each such affected Secured Party. 
 9.2    Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Canadian
Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in subsection 11.2 of the ABL Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such
Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1, unless and until such Guarantor shall change such address by notice to the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Canadian Agent given in accordance with subsection 11.2 of the ABL Credit
Agreement. 
 9.3    No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. None of the Canadian Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of
Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on
any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Canadian Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 
 9.4    Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. 
 (a)    Each Guarantor jointly and
severally agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Canadian Collateral Agent for all their respective reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting against any Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or

or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (collectively, the
“indemnified liabilities”), in each case to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 11.5 of the ABL Credit Agreement, and in any event excluding any taxes or other indemnified liabilities arising
from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or any other Secured Party. 
 (c)    The agreements in this subsection 9.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the ABL Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 9.5    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the
Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent
of the Canadian Collateral Agent. 
 9.6    Set-Off. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the
Canadian Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time without notice to such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor and by
the Borrower, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement so long as any amount remains unpaid after it becomes due and payable by
such Guarantor hereunder, to setoff and appropriate and apply against any such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than the Collateral Proceeds Account), in any currency, and any other
credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or such other Secured Party to or
for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or such other Secured Party may elect. The Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent and each other Secured
Party shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or-such other Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent and each other Secured Party under this subsection 9.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or such other Secured Party may have. 
 9.7    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute
one and the same instrument. 
 9.8    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or 

  

 -38- 

 
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; provided that, with
respect to any Pledged Securities issued by a Subsidiary, all rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that they do not violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of any Governmental
Authority applicable to any such Pledged Securities or affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement against the Pledgor (such laws, rules or regulations, “Applicable Law”) and are
intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any Applicable Law. 
 9.9    Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to
affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Grantors, the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein

Capital Stock of any Guarantor (other than to the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) or the sale or other disposition of Collateral (other than a sale or disposition to another Grantor) permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Canadian
Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt from the Parent Borrower of a written request for the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee or the release of the Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, identifying such Guarantor or the

Pledged Securities issued by such Issuer shall be automatically released, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrower, deliver to such
Grantor any such Pledged Securities held by the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder and the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Canadian Agent shall execute and deliver to the relevant Grantor (at the sole cost and expense of such Grantor) all

reasonably request. 
 9.17    Judgment Currency. 
 (a)    The obligations of any Grantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars or in Canadian
Dollars, as the case may be (for the purposes of this subsection 9.17, 

  

 -41- 

 
the “Obligation Currency”), shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or
converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Canadian Collateral Agent or a Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed
to be payable to the Canadian Collateral Agent or a Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Grantor or any other Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it
becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (for the purposes of this subsection 9.17, such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the
Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the 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 subsection 9.17, such Business Day 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, each Grantor covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser
amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with
the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. 
 (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 Obligation Currency. 

9.18    Attachment of Security Interest. The security interest created hereby is intended to attach, in respect of
Collateral or Pledged Collateral, as applicable, in which any Grantor has rights at the time this Agreement is signed by such Grantor and delivered to the Canadian Collateral Agent and, in respect of Collateral or Pledged Collateral, as applicable,
in which any Grantor subsequently acquires rights, at the time such Grantor subsequently acquires such rights. Each Grantor acknowledges and confirms that the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders have given value to such Grantor and that such
Grantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of any of the security interests to any of the Collateral or Pledged Collateral, as applicable, of such Grantor. 
 9.19    Copy of Agreement; Verification Statement. The Grantors hereby acknowledge receipt of a signed copy of this Agreement
and hereby waive the requirement to be provided with a copy of any verification statement issued in respect of a financing statement or financing change statement filed under the PPSA in connection with this Agreement to perfect the security
interest created herein. 
 9.20    Amalgamation. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, in the event it
amalgamates with any other company or companies, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the term “Grantor” or “Pledgor,” as the case may be, when used herein, shall apply to each of the amalgamating corporations and to
the amalgamated corporation, such that the lien granted hereby: 
 (a)    shall extend to Collateral (or
in the case of a Pledgor, Pledged Collateral) owned by each of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporations at the time of amalgamation and to any Collateral (or in the case of a Pledgor, Pledged Collateral) thereafter owned or
acquired by the amalgamated corporation, and 
 (b)    shall secure all Obligations of each of the
amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporations to the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties at the time of amalgamation and all Obligations of the amalgamated corporation to the Canadian Collateral 

  

 -42- 

 
Agent and the Secured Parties thereafter arising. The Lien shall attach to all Collateral (or in the case of a Pledgor, Pledged Collateral) owned by each
corporation amalgamating with Grantor, and by the amalgamated corporation, at the time of the amalgamation, and shall attach to all Collateral (or in the case of a Pledgor, Pledged Collateral) thereafter owned or acquired by the amalgamated
corporation when such becomes owned or is acquired. 
 9.21    Joint and Several Liability. The obligations of the
Guarantors hereunder shall be joint and several and, as such, each Guarantor shall be liable for all of the Obligations of the other Guarantor under this Agreement. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the liability of each Guarantor for
the obligations of the other applicable Guarantors under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without regard to (1) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the obligations hereunder or thereunder or
any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any applicable Secured Party, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by such other applicable Guarantor or any other Person against any Secured Party or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of
such other applicable Guarantor or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of such other applicable Guarantor for the obligations hereunder, or of such Guarantor under this Section, in
bankruptcy or in any other instance. 
 9.22    Language. The parties hereto confirm that it is their wish that
this Agreement, as well as any other documents relating to this Agreement, including notices, schedules and authorizations, have been and shall be drawn up in the English language only. Les signataires conferment leur volonté que la
présente convention, de même que tous les documents s’y rattachant, y compris tout avis, annexe et autorisation, soient rédiges en anglais seulement. 
 9.23    No Implicit Subordination. The inclusion of reference to Permitted Liens in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
is not intended to subordinate and shall not subordinate, and shall not be interpreted as subordinating, any Lien created by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to any Permitted Lien. 
 9.24    Taxes. Each Grantor hereby agrees that all payments made by it under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with
Section 4.11 of the ABL Credit Agreement, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, read as to apply to each Grantor and payments made under this Agreement.
