SECTION 3.03. Covenants.  (a) Each  Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and  all commercially reasonable actions necessary to (i) defend title to the applicable Collateral (other than  Intellectual Property, which is governed by Section 3.04) against all Persons, except with respect to  Collateral that such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment is no longer necessary or  

 

  -12- CAN_DMS: \149647507\7  beneficial to the conduct of such Grantor’s business (provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent  such Grantor from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its assets or properties to the extent  not prohibited by the Note Purchase Agreement) and (ii) upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent  (at the direction of the Required Purchasers), defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the  Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien, in each case subject to (x) Liens permitted pursuant to  the Note Purchase Agreement, (y) transfers made in compliance with the Note Purchase Agreement and (z)  the rights of such Grantor under Section 11.09 of the Note Purchase Agreement to obtain a release of the  Liens created hereunder.

(c) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments,  charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the  Collateral  and not permitted pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and  preservation of the Collateral to the extent either Grantor fails to do so as required by the Note Purchase  Agreement, this Agreement or any other Note Document and within a reasonable period of time after the  Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Purchasers) has requested that it do so, and the Grantors  agree to reimburse the Collateral Agent, within 10 days after demand, for any reasonable payment made or  expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization in accordance with Section  5.03(a); provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing the Grantors from the  performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform,  any covenants or other promises of the Grantors with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens,  security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Note  Documents.

SECTION 3.04. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.   (a) Each Grantor agrees to take commercially reasonable steps to (i) maintain the  validity and enforceability of any Canadian issued or registered Intellectual Property (or applications  therefor) that is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business and to maintain such registrations and  applications of such Intellectual Property in full force and effect and (ii) pursue the registration and, to the  extent such Grantor determine in its reasonable business judgment that maintenance of such Intellectual  Property is desirable in the conduct of its business, maintenance of each patent, trademark or copyright  registration or application included in the Intellectual Property of such Grantor.  Each Grantor shall take  commercially reasonable steps to defend title to and ownership of any Intellectual Property that is owned  by such Grantor and is material to the conduct of  such Grantor’s  business.  (b) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent as promptly as reasonably  practicable if it knows, after due inquiry, that (i) any application or registration relating to any material  Intellectual Property is likely to become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any materially  adverse determination or development related to such application or registration (including the institution  of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark  Office, the United States Copyright Office or the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or in any similar  office or agency or any court or tribunal in any country, but excluding any ordinary course office actions)  regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, right to use, interest in, or the validity of, any material Intellectual  Property owned by such Grantor or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the  same or (ii) any action or proceeding, to the extent such action is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, that  seeks to limit or cancel, or challenge the validity of, any material Intellectual Property owned by such  Grantor or such Grantor’s ownership interest therein is pending or, to the knowledge of such Grantor,  threatened.    (c) Each Grantor agrees that, should it (i) obtain an ownership or other interest in any  Intellectual Property after the date hereof, or (ii) file any application for the registration or issuance of any  Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright  Office or the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or in any similar office or agency within Canada (the  items in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “After-Acquired Intellectual Property”), then the provisions of  this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property shall  automatically become Intellectual Property subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  For the  avoidance of doubt, a security interest shall not be granted in any Intellectual Property that constitutes an  Excluded Asset.  

 

  -14- CAN_DMS: \149647507\7  ARTICLE IV    Remedies  SECTION 4.01. Remedies upon Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the  continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver, on demand, each item of Collateral to  the Collateral Agent or any Person designated by the Collateral Agent, and it is agreed that the Collateral  Agent (at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall have the right to take any of or all the following  actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property,  on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or  all such Collateral by each Grantor to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or to  license, whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such  terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of  any then-existing licensing arrangements or other agreement to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained),  but in any event, on a revocable basis under terms whereby such license should terminate immediately upon  cure of an Event of Default in connection with exercise of its remedies hereunder, and (b) subject to Section  2.04, with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take  possession of the Collateral and the Pledged Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any  premises where the Collateral or the Pledged Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession  of or removing the Collateral and the Pledged Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights  afforded to a secured party under the PPSA, the STA or other applicable law.  Without limiting the  generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the  mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below, to sell or otherwise  dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any  securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem  appropriate.  The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable  to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they  are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution  or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign,  transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at  any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the  applicable Grantor, and the applicable Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of  redemption, stay and appraisal that the applicable Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have  under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral  Agent (at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may also realize upon the Collateral and enforce its  rights, by: (a) appointing a receiver (which term as used in this security agreement includes an interim  receiver and a receiver and manager) or agent of all or any part of the Collateral and removing or replacing  from time to time any receiver or agent and/or (b) instituting proceedings in any court of competent  jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of all or any part of the Collateral. Any receiver appointed by  the Collateral Agent shall be vested with all rights of the Collateral Agent and all of the remedies which  could have been exercised by the Collateral Agent in respect of the Grantors or the Collateral and such  other powers and discretions as are granted in the instrument of appointment and any supplemental  instruments.  The choice of receiver and its remuneration shall be within the sole discretion of the Collateral  Agent.  Any receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent shall act as agent for the Collateral Agent and the  Purchasers for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral, but otherwise and for all other purposes  (except as provided below), as agent for the Grantors.  The receiver may sell, lease, or otherwise dispose  of Collateral as agent for the Grantors or as agent for the Collateral Agent as the Collateral Agent  may  determine in its sole discretion.  The Grantors agree to ratify and confirm all actions of the receiver acting  as agent for the Grantors, and to release and indemnify the receiver in respect of all such actions. The  

 

  -15- CAN_DMS: \149647507\7  Collateral Agent, in appointing or refraining from appointing any receiver, shall not incur any liability to  the receiver, the Grantors or any other Person and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence  of such Person.  The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors no less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice  of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of a public sale,  shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities  exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the  Collateral or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any such public sale  shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the  Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Collateral, or  portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent  (at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may (in their sole and absolute discretion) determine.  The  Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so,  regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.  The Collateral Agent  may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned  from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further  notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any  part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the  Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent  and the other Secured Parties shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail  to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold  again upon like notice.  At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to  this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any  right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of the Grantors (all said rights being also hereby  waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and  may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from  the Grantors as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the  terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Grantors  therefor.  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent (at  the direction of the Required Purchasers) may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this  Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or  courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.  Any sale  pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to in accordance with any requirements  under the PPSA or the STA or their equivalent in other jurisdictions.  SECTION 4.02. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property.  For the exclusive  purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time  as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor shall,  upon prior written request by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Purchasers) at any time  during the continuance of an Event of Default, grant to the Collateral Agent a nonexclusive, non- transferable irrevocable, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default)  to use any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such  Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable 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; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.02  shall require any Grantor to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or  is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license,  agreement, instrument or other document with respect to such Intellectual Property, or gives any third party  any right of acceleration, modification, termination or cancellation in any such document, or otherwise  unreasonably prejudices the value of such Intellectual Property; provided further that such licenses to be  

 

  -16- CAN_DMS: \149647507\7  granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the Collateral Agent’s maintenance of  quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to  preserve the validity of such Trademarks.  For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the  Collateral Agent may be exercised solely during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon  termination of the Event of Default; such license to the Intellectual Property shall automatically and  immediately terminate and any Intellectual Property in the possession of the Collateral Agent shall be  returned to the applicable Grantor.   ARTICLE V    Miscellaneous    SECTION 5.01. Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as  otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement.   SECTION 5.02. Waivers; Amendment.  (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent  or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Note Document  shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any  abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further  exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent  and the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Note Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive  of any rights or remedies that the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties would otherwise have.  No  waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Note Party therefrom shall  in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.02, and then  such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the purchase of a Note shall not be construed as a waiver  of any Default hereunder, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may have  had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.  No notice or demand on any Note Party in any case  shall entitle any Note Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or  modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent  and the Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any  consent required in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent may,  without the consent of any other Secured Party, consent to a departure by the any of Grantors from any  covenant set forth herein to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Collateral Agent  or Collateral Agent set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.  SECTION 5.03. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.  (a) Each  Grantor  agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers for any Collateral Agent Expenses  and Purchasers’ Expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the Note Purchase  Agreement and to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers in accordance with Section 13.2(a) of  the Note Purchase Agreement; provided that each reference therein to the “Issuer” shall be deemed to be a  reference to “the Grantors”, “each Grantor” or “any Grantor, as applicable.  (b) The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall remain operative and in full force and  effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Note Document, the consummation of  the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the  invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document, or  any investigation made by or on behalf of any Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 5.03 shall  be payable not later than twenty (20) Business Days after written demand therefor; provided, however, any  

 

  -17- CAN_DMS: \149647507\7  Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there  is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to  such payment pursuant to this Section 5.03.  Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be  additional Secured Obligations.  SECTION 5.04. Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the  parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns  of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Grantors or the Collateral  Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors  and assigns.  SECTION 5.05. Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations  and warranties made by the Grantors in this Agreement or any other Note Document and in the certificates  or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note  Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the  execution and delivery of the Note Documents and the purchase of any Notes, regardless of any  investigation made by or on behalf of any Secured Party and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, the  Purchasers or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect  representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Note Purchase Agreement or any  other Note Document, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred,  in each case, in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.  SECTION 5.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement.  This Agreement  may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which  shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery  of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be  effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall become  effective when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of each of the Grantors and shall have been delivered  to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent,  and thereafter shall be binding upon the Grantors and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted  successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the other  Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Grantors shall not have the right  to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or  transfer shall be void) except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement.  SECTION 5.07. Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,  illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such  invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the  remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not  invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  SECTION 5.08. Right of Set-off.  If an Event of Default under the Note Purchase  Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, each Purchaser and its respective Affiliates are hereby  authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any  and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency, but not  withholding or payroll accounts, employee benefits accounts, de minimis accounts or other accounts used  exclusively for taxes or fiduciary or trust purposes) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever  currency) at any time owing by such Purchaser or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of  each Grantor against any of and all the obligations of such Grantor then due and owing under this  Agreement held by such Purchaser, irrespective of whether or not such Purchaser shall have made any  demand under this Agreement and although (i) such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and (ii)  

 

  -18- CAN_DMS: \149647507\7  such obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Purchaser different from the branch or office holding  such deposit or obligated on such Debt.  The applicable Purchaser shall notify the applicable Grantor and  the Collateral Agent of such setoff and application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving  such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section 5.08.  The  rights of each Purchaser and its Affiliates under this Section 5.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies  (including other rights of setoff) that such Purchaser and its Affiliates may have.

The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually  received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers,  directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantors for any act or failure to act hereunder,  except for their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or that of any of their controlled  Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact.

If the Collateral  Agent has a right to take or omit to take any action hereunder, it shall exercise such right if so instructed by  the Required Purchasers. With respect to any discretion, consent, approval or similar such action to be  made, taken, omitted to be taken or determined by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement (each an  “Agent Determination”), such Agent Determination shall be made by the Collateral Agent at the direction  of the Required Purchasers.  SECTION 5.15. Further Assurances.

SECTION 5.16. Judgment Currency.  (a)  If, for the purposes of obtaining  judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due to a Secured Party in any currency (the “Original  Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they  may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal  banking procedures, such Secured Party could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on  the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given or, if permitted by applicable law, on  the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied.  (b) The obligations of a Grantor in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to  any Secured Party under this Agreement shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be  discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Secured Party of any sum  adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, such Secured Party may, in accordance with normal banking  procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original  Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Secured Party in the Original Currency,  

 

  -21- CAN_DMS: \149647507\7  such Grantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify such Secured  Party against any loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally  due to such Secured Party in the Original Currency, such Secured Party shall remit such excess such  Grantor.  SECTION 5.17. Amalgamation.  If any Grantor amalgamates with any other  corporation or corporations, it is the intention of the parties that the Security Interest will (a) extend to all  of the property, assets and interests that (i) any of the amalgamating corporations own, or (ii) the  amalgamated corporation thereafter acquires, and (b) secure the payment and performance of all debts,  liabilities and obligations of any of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation to the  Collateral Agent, however or wherever incurred and whether as principal, guarantor or surety and whether  incurred prior to, at the time of, or subsequent to, the amalgamation.  The Security Interest will attach to  the property, assets and interests of the amalgamating corporations not previously subject to this Agreement  at the time of amalgamation and to any property, assets or interests thereafter owned or acquired by the  amalgamated corporation when such property, assets or interests become owned or are acquired.  Upon any  such amalgamation, the defined term “Grantor” shall include each of the amalgamating corporations and  the amalgamated corporation, the defined term Collateral shall include all of the property, assets and  interests described in (a) above, and the defined term Obligations shall include the obligations described in  (b) above.

(b) So long as the Company qualifies as a “controlled company” for  purposes of applicable stock exchange rules, the Company may elect to be a “controlled company”  for purposes of applicable stock exchange rules, and will disclose in its annual meeting proxy  statement that it is a “controlled company” and the basis for that determination.  If the Company  ceases to qualify as a “controlled company” for purposes of applicable stock exchange rules, the  Stockholders and the Company will take whatever action may be reasonably necessary and within  their control in relation to such party, if any, to cause the Company to comply with applicable  stock exchange rules as then in effect within the timeframe for compliance available under such  rules.  2. Remedies.  2.1 Covenants. Subject to the Company and Founder Stockholders’  obligation to take all actions necessary and within their control to give effect to the  provisions herein, the Company and the Founder Stockholders otherwise agree to use its  reasonable best efforts, within the requirements of applicable law, to ensure that the rights  granted under this Agreement are effective and that the parties enjoy the benefits of this  Agreement. Such actions include, without limitation, the use of the Company’s reasonable  best efforts to cause the nomination and election of the directors as provided in this  Agreement.  2.2 Specific Enforcement.

No delay or omission to exercise any right,  power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default  of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of  such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any  such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default  thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver  of any other breach or default previously or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit,

All remedies, either under this Agreement  or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.   6.9 Severability.
