 SECTION 2. WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS 
  

	2.1	Company shall furnish to Agent, in form and at intervals as Agent may request, any information Agent may reasonably request and allow Agent to examine, inspect, and copy any of
Company’s books and records. Company shall, at the request of Agent, mark its records and the Collateral to clearly indicate the security interest of Agent under this Agreement. 

  

	2.2	At the time any Collateral becomes, or is represented to be, subject to a security interest in favour of Agent, Company shall be deemed to have warranted that (a) Company is
the lawful owner of the Collateral and has the right and authority to subject it to a security interest granted to Bank; (b) none of the Collateral is subject to any security interest other than that in favour of Bank, and encumbrances listed
on Schedule “B” (the “Encumbrances”) and there are no financing statements on file, other than those in favour of Agent, and those filed with respect to the Encumbrances; (c) no person, other than Bank, has possession
or control of any Collateral of such nature that perfection of a security interest may be accomplished by possession; and (d) Company acquired its rights in the Collateral in the ordinary course of its business. 

  

	2.3	All Intellectual Property applications and registrations are valid and in good standing and Company is the owner of the applications and registrations. 

  

	2.4	Company will keep the Collateral free at all times from all claims, liens, security interests and encumbrances other than those in favour of Agent and the Encumbrances. Except as
expressly permitted under the Loan Agreement dated April 30, 2003 between Company and Comerica Bank (as amended, modified or amended and restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), Company will not, without the
prior written consent of Agent, sell, transfer or lease, or permit to be sold, transferred or leased, any or all of the Collateral, except for Inventory in the ordinary course of its business and will not return any Inventory to its supplier. Agent
and its representatives may at all reasonable times inspect the Collateral and may enter upon all premises where the Collateral is kept or might be located. 

  

	2.5	 Company will do all acts and will execute or cause to be executed all writings requested by Agent to establish, maintain and continue a perfected and security
interest of first 

  

 3 

	 	 
priority of Agent in the Collateral. Company agrees that Agent has no obligation to acquire or perfect any lien on or security interest in any asset(s),
whether realty or personalty, to secure payment of the Indebtedness, and Company is not relying upon assets in which Agent may have a lien or security interest for payment of the Indebtedness. 

  

	2.6	Company shall obtain the written consent of Agent prior to Company changing the location of its chief executive office, its principal place of business, its domicile (within the
meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec) or its books and records, acquiring any new such locations, or keeping, maintaining or storing any Collateral at any location other than the locations identified in Section 5.18 below. Upon obtaining
the written consent of Agent and before changing any such location or acquiring another such location (whether by purchase, lease or otherwise), Company shall provide Agent with such financing statements, charges, assignments, hypothecs, security
interests, security agreements, landlord agreements, warehouseman/bailee agreements and other agreements and legal opinions as Bank may reasonably require in order to assure and maintain the Agent’s first priority, perfected security interest
on the Collateral. 

  

	2.7	Company will deliver to Agent from time to time promptly upon request any Documents of Title, Instruments, Securities and Chattel Paper constituting, representing or relating to
Collateral for the purpose of protecting the security interest or the priority of such security of Agent in any such Documents of Title, Instruments, Securities or Chattel Paper. 

  

	2.8	Company will pay within the time that they are to be paid without interest or penalty all taxes, assessments and similar charges which at any time are or may become a lien, charge,
or encumbrance upon any Collateral, except to the extent contested in good faith and, if required by Agent, bonded in a manner satisfactory to Agent. If Company fails to pay any of these taxes, assessments, or other charges in the time provided
above, Bank has the option (but not the obligation) to do so and Company agrees to repay all amounts so expended by Agent immediately upon demand therefor, together with interest thereon at the highest per annum rate applicable to any of the
Indebtedness, but not in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law. 

  

	2.9	 Company will keep the Collateral in good condition and will protect it from loss, damage, and deterioration from any cause. Company has and will maintain at all
times (a) with respect to the Collateral, insurance under an “all risk” policy against fire and other risks customarily insured against, and (b) public liability insurance and other insurance as may be required by law or
reasonably required by Agent, all of which insurance shall be in amount, form and content, and written by companies as may be satisfactory to Bank, containing a lender’s loss payable endorsement acceptable to Agent, showing Bank as additional
insured and specifying that the insurer must give at least twenty (20) days notice to Agent before changing or cancelling it policy for any reason. Company will deliver to Agent immediately upon demand evidence satisfactory to Agent that the
required insurance has been procured. If Company fails to maintain satisfactory insurance, Agent has the option (but not the obligation) to do so and Company agrees to repay all amounts so expended by Agent immediately upon demand, together with

  

 4 

	 	 
interest at the highest lawful default rate which could be charged by the Agent on any Indebtedness. 

  

	2.10	On each occasion on which Company evidences to Agent the account balances on and the nature and extent of the Accounts Receivable (“Accounts Receivable” consists of
all accounts, intangibles, chattel paper, contract rights, deposit accounts, documents and instruments), Company shall be deemed to have warranted that except as otherwise indicated by Company (a) each of those Accounts Receivable is valid and
enforceable without performance by Company of any other act; (b) each of those account balances are in fact owing, (c) there are no set-offs, recoupments, credits, contra accounts, counterclaims or defences against any of those Accounts
Receivable, (d) as to any Accounts Receivable represented by a note, trade acceptance, draft or other instrument or by any Chattel Paper or document, the same have been endorsed and/or delivered by Company to Agent, (e) Company has not
received with respect to any Account Receivable, any notice of the death of the related account debtor, nor of the dissolution, liquidation, termination of existence, insolvency, business failure, appointment of a receiver for, assignment for the
benefit of creditors by, or filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or against, the account debtor, and (f) as to each Account Receivable, the account debtor is not an affiliate of Company, any department, agency or instrumentality of the
government of Canada or any of its provinces, territories or municipalities, or a citizen or resident of any jurisdiction outside of Canada or the United States of America. Company will do all acts and will execute all writings reasonably requested
by Agent to perform, enforce performance of, and collect all Accounts Receivable. Except in the ordinary course of business and in a manner consistent with past practice, Company shall neither make nor permit any modification, compromise or
substitution for any Account Receivable without the prior written consent of Agent. Company shall, at Agent’s request, arrange for verification of Accounts Receivable directly with account debtors or by other methods reasonably acceptable to
Agent. 

  

	2.11	Company at all times shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws including, without limitation, any laws, ordinances, directives, orders, statutes, or regulations
an object of which is to regulate or improve health, safety, or the environment (“Environmental Laws”). 

  

	2.12	 If Agent, in its discretion, redelivers Collateral to Company or Company’s designee for the purpose of (a) the ultimate sale or exchange thereof;
(b) presentation, collection, renewal, or registration or transfer thereof; or (c) loading, unloading, storing, shipping, transshipping, manufacturing, processing or otherwise dealing with it preliminary to sale or exchange, such
redelivery shall be in trust for the benefit of Agent and shall not constitute a release of Agent’s security interest in it or in the proceeds or products of it unless Agent specifically so agrees in writing. If Company requests any such
redelivery, Company will deliver with such request a duly executed financing statement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. Any proceeds of Collateral coming into Company’s possession as a result of any such redelivery shall be held in
trust for Agent and immediately delivered to Agent for application on the Indebtedness. Agent may (in its sole discretion) deliver any or all of the Collateral to Company, and such delivery by Agent shall discharge Agent from all liability or
responsibility for such Collateral. Agent, 

  

 5 

	 	 
at its option, may require delivery of any Collateral to Agent at any time with such endorsements or assignments of the Collateral as Agent may request.

  

	2.13	At any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default (or at any time with respect to subclause (d) below) and without notice, Agent may (a) cause any or all of the
Collateral to be transferred to its name or to the name of its nominees; (b) receive or collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, interest, principal payments and other sums and all other distributions at any time payable or
receivable on account of the Collateral, and hold the same as Collateral, or apply the same to the Indebtedness, the manner and distribution of the application to be in the sole discretion of Agent; (c) enter into any extension, subordination,
reorganization, deposit, merger or consolidation agreement or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and deposit or surrender control of the Collateral, and accept other property in exchange for the Collateral and hold or apply
the property or money so received pursuant to this Agreement; and (d) take such actions in its own name on the Company’s name as Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to establish exclusive possession over any of
the Collateral of such nature that perfection of Agent’s security interest may be accomplished by possession. 

  

	2.14	Agent and the Banks may assign any of the Indebtedness and deliver any or all of the Collateral or its interest therein to its assignee, who then shall have with respect to such
Indebtedness, Collateral or interest so delivered all the rights and powers of Agent under this Agreement. Following any such assignment, the Agent shall be fully discharged from all liability and responsibility with respect to Collateral so
delivered. 

  

	2.15	Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Agent and the Banks, their employees, agents, shareholders, affiliates, officers, and directors from and against any and all
claims, damages, fines, expenses, liabilities or causes of action of whatever kind, including without limit consultant fees, legal expenses, and attorney fees, suffered by any of them as a direct or indirect result of any actual or asserted
violation by Company of any law, including, without limit, Environmental Laws, or of any remediation relating to any property (to the extent remediation is the responsibility of Company) required by any law, including without limit Environmental
Laws. 

  
 SECTION 3. COLLECTION OF PROCEEDS 
  

	3.1	 Company agrees to collect and enforce payment of all Collateral until Agent shall direct Company to the contrary. Immediately upon notice to Company by Agent and at
all times after that, Company agrees to fully and promptly cooperate and assist Agent in the collection and enforcement of all Collateral and to hold in trust for Agent all payments received in connection with Collateral and from the sale, lease or
other disposition of any Collateral, all rights by way of suretyship or guaranty and all rights in the nature of a lien or security interest which Company now or later has regarding the Collateral. Immediately upon and after such notice, Company
agrees to (a) endorse to Agent and immediately deliver to Agent all payments received on Collateral or from the sale, lease or other disposition of any Collateral or arising from any other rights or interests of Company in the Collateral, in
the form received by Company without commingling with 

  

 6 

	 	 
any other funds, and (b) immediately deliver to Bank all property in Company’s possession or later coming into Company’s possession through
enforcement of Company’s rights or interests in the Collateral. Company irrevocably authorizes Agent and/or its employees or agents to endorse the name of Company upon any cheques or other items which are received in payment for any Collateral,
and to do any and all things necessary in order to reduce these items to Money. Agent shall not have any duty as to the collection or protection of Collateral or the Proceeds of it, nor as to the preservation of any related rights, beyond the use of
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in the possession of Agent. Company agrees to take all steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties with respect to the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 3.1 shall be
deemed to be a consent by Agent to any sale, lease or other disposition of any Collateral. 

  

	3.2	All items or amounts which are delivered by or for the benefit of Company to Agent on account of partial or full payment of, or with respect to, any Collateral shall be applied to
the payment of the Indebtedness, whether then due or not, in such order or at such time of application as Agent and the Banks may determine in its sole discretion. Company agrees that Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage which Company
may suffer as a result of Agent’s processing of items or its exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of revenues or profits, or any claim,
demand or action by any third party arising out of or in connection with the processing of items or the exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement. Company agrees to indemnify and hold Agent harmless from and against all such
third party claims, demands or actions, and all related expenses or liabilities, including, without limitation, legal fees, except for claims arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent. 

  

	3.3	Company agrees that immediately upon Agent’s request (whether or not an Event of Default exists), Company shall establish the cash management arrangements required by this
Section 3.3, and thereafter, the following provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be in full force and effect. 

  

	 	(1)	 Company shall at its sole expense establish and maintain, from the date of such request until the end of the term of this Agreement (or until Agent acting in its
sole discretion shall notify Company that the Indebtedness is no longer required to be on a remittance basis) a Canadian post office lockbox, (the “Lock Box”) to which Agent shall have exclusive access and control. Company expressly
authorizes Agent, from time to time, to remove all contents from the Lock Box, for disposition in accordance with this Agreement. Company agrees to notify all account debtors and other parties obligated to it that all payments made on any account,
invoice or other collateral (other than payments by electronic funds) shall be remitted, for the credit of Company, to the Lock Box, and Company shall include a like statement on all invoices. Payments made by electronic funds transfer shall be made
directly to a non-interest bearing deposit account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) to which Agent shall have exclusive access and control, and Company shall so instruct its account debtors and other parties obligated to it. Company
shall execute all documents, authorizations and other 

  

 7 

	 	 
agreements necessary to establish and maintain the Lock Box and the Cash Collateral Account. 

  

	 	(2)	Whether or not Company is required by Agent to maintain the Lock Box under this paragraph, from the date of such request until the end of the term of this Agreement, any and all
cash, checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money received by Company at any time, in full or partial payment of any of the Collateral shall forthwith, upon receipt, be transmitted and delivered to Agent (properly endorsed, where
required, so that such items may be collected by Agent). Any such items received by Company shall not be commingled with any other of Company’s funds or property, but will be held separate and apart from Company’s own funds or property,
and upon express trust for the benefit of Agent until delivery is made to Agent. 

  

	 	(3)	All items or amounts which are remitted to the Lock Box, to the Cash Collateral Account, or otherwise delivered by or for the benefit of Company to Agent on account of partial or
full payment of, or any other amount payable with respect to, any of the Collateral shall, at Agent’s option (i) be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether then due or not, in such order of application as Agent may determine in
its sole discretion, or, (ii) shall be deposited to the credit of the Cash Collateral Account. Company shall have no right whatsoever to withdraw any funds so deposited. Company further grants to Agent for the benefit of the Banks, a first
security interest in and lien on all funds on deposit in such accounts. To the extent collected funds remain at any time on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account after payment and discharge in full of the Indebtedness (provided there is then no
Event of Default hereunder), Agent shall release such surplus collected funds to Company. Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to endorse all items received for deposit to the Cash Collateral Account, notwithstanding the inclusion
on any such item of a restrictive notation, e.g., “paid in full”, “balance of account”, or other restriction. 

  

	 	(4)	Company agrees that Agent and the Banks shall not be liable for any loss or damage which Company suffers or may suffer as a result of Agent’s processing of items or its
exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of revenues or profits, or any claim, demand or action by any third party arising out of or in connection
with the processing of items or the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, this exculpation shall not apply to direct damages arising as a result of Agent’s and the Bank’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Company further agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and the Banks harmless from and against all such third party claims, demands or actions, including without limitation litigation costs and attorney fees. 

  
 SECTION 4. DEFAULTS, ENFORCEMENT AND APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS 
  

	4.1	Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”), Company shall be in default under this Agreement: 

  

 8 

	 	(1)	Any failure to pay the Indebtedness or any other indebtedness when due, or such portion of it as may be due, by acceleration or otherwise and continuation beyond any applicable
period of cure; or 

  

	 	(2)	Any failure or neglect to comply with, or breach of or default under, any term of this Agreement which, except in the case of Section 2.4 or 2.9, continues for fifteen
(15) days after notice by Agent to Company, or any other agreement or commitment between Company, or any guarantor of any of the Indebtedness (“Guarantor”) and Bank and continuation beyond any applicable period of cure; or

  

	 	(3)	Any warranty, representation, financial statement, or other information made, given or furnished to Agent or any Bank by or on behalf of Company, or any Guarantor shall be, or shall
prove to have been, false or materially misleading when made, given, or furnished; or 

  

	 	(4)	Any loss, theft, substantial damage or destruction to or of any Collateral, or the issuance or filing of any attachment, levy, garnishment or the commencement of any proceeding in
connection with any Collateral or of any other judicial process of, upon or in respect of Company, any Guarantor, or any Collateral; or 

  

	 	(5)	Sale or other disposition by Company, or any Guarantor of any substantial portion of its assets or property or voluntary suspension of the transaction of business by Company, or any
Guarantor, or death, dissolution, termination of existence, merger, consolidation, insolvency, business failure, or assignment for the benefit of creditors of or by Company, or any Guarantor; or commencement of any proceedings under any provincial,
state or Canadian or U.S. federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or laws for the relief of debtors by or against Company, or any Guarantor; or the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, receiver-manager, trustee, court appointee, sequestrator
or otherwise, for all or any part of the property of Company, or any Guarantor; or 

  

	 	(6)	Agent or the Banks deem the margin of Collateral insufficient or themselves insecure, in good faith believing that the prospect of payment of the Indebtedness or performance of this
Agreement is impaired or shall fear deterioration, removal, or waste of Collateral; or 

  

	 	(7)	A default shall occur under any instrument, agreement or other document evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to any of the Indebtedness. 

  

	4.2	Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent and the Banks may at their discretion and without prior notice to Company declare any or all of the Indebtedness to be immediately
due and payable, and shall have and may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies: 

  

	 	(1)	Exercise all the rights and remedies available to secured parties under the provisions of the PPSA and other applicable law or in equity; 

  

 9 

	 	(2)	Institute legal proceedings to enforce the lien and security interest granted by this Agreement, to recover judgment for all amounts then due and owing as Indebtedness, and to
collect the same out of any Collateral or the proceeds of any sale of it; 

  

	 	(3)	Institute legal proceedings for the sale, under the judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, of any or all Collateral; and/or 

  

	 	(4)	Personally or by their agents, attorneys, or appointment of an interim receiver, receiver or receiver manager, enter upon any premises where Collateral may then be located, and take
possession of all or any of it and/or render it unusable; and without being responsible for loss or damage to such Collateral, hold, operate, sell, lease, or dispose of all or any Collateral at one or more public or private sales, leasings or other
disposition, at places and times and on terms and conditions as Agent may deem fit, without any previous demand or advertisement; and except as provided in this Agreement, all notice of sale, lease or other disposition, and advertisement, and other
notice or demand, any right or equity of redemption, and any obligation of a prospective purchaser or lessee to inquire as to the power and authority of Agent to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or as to the application by Agent
of the proceeds of sale or otherwise, which would otherwise be required by, or available to Company under applicable law are expressly waived by Company to the fullest extent permitted. 

  
 At any sale pursuant to this Section 4.2, whether under the power of
sale, by virtue of judicial proceedings or otherwise, it shall not be necessary for Agent or a public officer under order of a court to have present physical or constructive possession of Collateral to be sold. The recitals contained in any
conveyances and receipts made and given by Agent or the public officer to any purchaser at any sale made pursuant to this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters stated
(including, without limitation, as to the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Indebtedness, the accrual and nonpayment of it and advertisement and conduct of the sale); and all prerequisites to the sale shall be presumed to have been
satisfied and performed. Upon any sale of any Collateral, the receipt of the officer making the sale under judicial proceedings or of Agent shall be sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and the purchaser shall not be
obligated to see to the application of the money. Any sale of any Collateral under this Agreement shall be a perpetual bar against Company with respect to that Collateral. 
  

	4.3	An appointed interim receiver, receiver or receiver manager, as applicable, shall, so far as concerns responsibility for his acts, be deemed the agent of Company and not of Agent,
and Agent and the Banks shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence, or non-feasance on the part of any such receiver, his servants, agents or employees. Except as may be otherwise directed by Agent, all money received from
time to time by such interim receiver, receiver or receiver manager, as applicable, in carrying out his appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to Agent. Every such interim receiver, receiver or receiver manager, as applicable, may,
in the discretion of Bank, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of Agent. 

  

 10 

	4.4	Agent and the Banks shall not be liable or accountable for any failure to exercise any of its rights or remedies, take possession of, collect, enforce, realize, sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of Collateral or to institute any proceedings for such purposes. Furthermore, Agent and the Banks shall not have any obligation to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties to any Instrument or Chattel Paper whether
Collateral or Proceeds and whether or not in Agent’s possession and neither Agent nor any Bank shall not be liable or accountable for failure to do so. 

  

	4.5	Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Company shall, at the request of Agent, notify the account debtors or obligors of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and
direct payment of it to Agent. Agent may, itself, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, so notify and direct any account debtor or obligor to make payment to Agent. At the request of Agent, whether or not an Event of Default shall have
occurred, Debtor shall immediately take such actions as Agent shall request to establish exclusive possession by Agent over any Collateral which is of such nature that perfection of such interest may be established by possession.

  

	4.6	The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral authorized by this Agreement shall be applied by Agent and the Banks first upon all expenses and all reasonable attorney
fees and legal expenses incurred by Agent or any Bank; the balance of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition shall be applied in the payment of the Indebtedness, first to interest, then to principal, then to remaining Indebtedness and the
surplus, if any, shall be paid over to Company or to such other person(s) as may be entitled to it under applicable law. Company shall remain liable for any deficiency, which it shall pay to Agent immediately upon demand. Company agrees that Agent
shall be under no obligation to accept any noncash proceeds in connection with any sale or disposition of Collateral unless failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable. If Agent agrees in its sole discretion to accept noncash proceeds
(unless the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable), Agent may ascribe any commercially reasonable value to such proceeds. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent may apply any discount factor in determining the present value of proceeds
to be received in the future or may elect to apply proceeds to be received in the future only as and when such proceeds are actually received in cash by Agent. 

  

	4.7	Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall it be construed, to preclude Agent from pursuing any other remedy provided by law for the collection of the Indebtedness or for the
recovery of any other sum to which Agent may be entitled for the breach of this Agreement by Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall reduce or release in any way any rights or security interests of Agent or any Bank contained in any existing
agreement between Company or any Guarantor and Agent or any Bank. 

  

	4.8	No waiver of default or consent to any act by Company shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Agent. No waiver of any default or forbearance on

in its own name, at Company’s expense, to do any of the following, as Agent, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate:

Agent at any place designated by Agent which is reasonably convenient to Agent and Company. 

  
 SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	5.1	Until Agent is advised in writing by Company to the contrary, all notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement or by law shall be given to, or made upon, Company at
the first address indicated in Section 5.18 below. 

  

	5.2	Agent and the Banks assume no duty of performance or other responsibility under any contracts contained within the Collateral. 

  

	5.3	Agent and the Banks have the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations or any interest in, any or all of the Indebtedness and any related obligations,
including without limitation, this Agreement. In connection with the above, but without limiting their ability to make other disclosures to the full extent allowable, Agent and the Banks may disclose all documents and information which Agent and the
Banks now or later have relating to Company, the Indebtedness or this Agreement, however obtained. Company further agrees that Agent and the Banks may provide information relating to this Agreement or relating to Company to their respective parent,
affiliates, subsidiaries, and service providers. 

  

	5.4	In addition to Agent’s and the Bank’s other rights, any indebtedness owing from a Bank to Company can be set off and applied by such Bank on any Indebtedness at any
time(s) either before or after maturity or demand without notice to anyone. Any such action shall not constitute an acceptance of collateral in discharge of the Indebtedness. 

  

 12 

	5.5	Company waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right to require Agent or any Bank to: (a) proceed against any person or property; (b) give notice of the terms, time
and place of any public or private sale of personal property security held from Company or any other person, or otherwise comply with the provisions of Part 5 of the PPSA; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Agent’s or any Bank’s power.
Company waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement and presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, dishonour, notice of dishonour, notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate or demand payment of any Indebtedness, any and all other
notices to which the undersigned might otherwise be entitled, and diligence in collecting any Indebtedness, and agree(s) that Agent and the Banks may, once or any number of times, modify the terms of any Indebtedness, compromise, extend, increase,
accelerate, renew or forbear to enforce payment of any or all Indebtedness, or permit Company to incur additional Indebtedness, all without notice to Company and without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligation of Company under this
Agreement. Company unconditionally and irrevocably waives each and every defence and set-off of any nature which, under principles of guaranty or otherwise, would operate to impair or diminish in any way the obligation of Company under this
Agreement, and acknowledges that such waiver is by this reference incorporated into each security agreement, collateral assignment, pledge and/or other document from Company now or later securing the Indebtedness, and acknowledges that as of the
date of this Agreement no such defence or set-off exists. 

  

	5.6	In the event that applicable law, this Agreement or the Credit Agreement shall obligate Agent to give prior notice to Company of any action to be taken under this Agreement, Company
agrees that a written notice given to Company at least fifteen days before the date of the action shall be reasonable notice of the action and, specifically, reasonable notification of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which
any private sale, lease, or other disposition is to be made, unless a shorter notice period is reasonable under the circumstances or otherwise permitted by law. A notice shall be deemed to be given under this Agreement when given as provided in the
Loan Agreement. 

  

	5.7	Notwithstanding any prior revocation, termination, surrender, or discharge of this Agreement in whole or in part, the effectiveness of this Agreement shall automatically continue or
be reinstated in the event that any payment received or credit given by Agent or any Bank in respect of the Indebtedness is returned, disgorged, or rescinded under any applicable law, including, without limitation, bankruptcy or insolvency laws, in
which case this Agreement, shall be enforceable against Company as if the returned, disgorged, or rescinded payment or credit had not been received or given by Agent or such Bank, as applicable, and whether or not Agent or such Bank relied upon this
payment or credit or changed its position as a consequence of it. In the event of continuation or reinstatement of this Agreement, Company agrees upon demand by Agent to execute and deliver to Agent those documents which Agent reasonably determines
are appropriate to further evidence (in the public records or otherwise) this continuation or reinstatement, although the failure of Company to do so shall not affect in any way the reinstatement or continuation. 

  

	5.8	 This Agreement and the security afforded hereby is in addition to and not in substitution for any other security now or hereafter held by Agent or any Bank and is,
and is intended 

  

 13 

	 	 
to be, a continuing Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until all Indebtedness contracted for or created, and any extensions or renewals
thereof together with interest accruing thereon and fees due in connection therewith, shall be paid, satisfied and terminated in full. 

  

	5.9	The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered a part of this Agreement and do not in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions of
this Agreement. 

  

	5.10	When the context so requires, the singular number shall be read as if the plural were expressed and the provisions hereof shall be read with all grammatical changes necessary
dependent upon the person referred to being a male, female, firm or corporation. 

  

	5.11	Nothing herein contained shall in any way obligate Agent or any Bank to grant, continue, renew, extend time for payment of or accept anything which constitutes or would constitute
Indebtedness. 

  

	5.12	This Agreement and the transactions evidenced hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable

to any other holder who derives from Agent or any Bank title to or an interest in the Indebtedness or any portion of it, and shall bind Company and the successors and assigns of Company. Nothing in this Section 5.14 is deemed to be a consent by
Agent to any assignment by Company. 

  

	5.15	If there is more than one Company, all undertakings, warranties and covenants made by Company and all rights, powers and authorities given to or conferred upon Agent and the Banks
are made or given jointly and severally. 

  

	5.16	No single or partial exercise, or delay in the exercise, of any right or power under this Agreement, shall preclude other or further exercise of the rights and powers under this

 RECITALS 
  
 A. Tecstar Automotive Group, Inc. (formerly known as Starcraft Corporation)
(“Borrower”), Agent and the lending institutions from time to time party thereto (the “Banks”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 19, 2006 (as amended, restated, supplemented or
replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). 
  
 B. Guarantors desire to see the success of Borrower and furthermore, Guarantors shall receive direct and/or indirect benefits from extensions of credit made or to be made pursuant to the Credit Agreement to Borrower. 
  
 C. Agent is acting as Agent for the Banks pursuant to Section 12 of the
Credit Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, as a continuing

 1. Definitions. Unless otherwise provided herein, all capitalized or other terms in this Guaranty shall have the meanings specified

 2. Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors hereby guarantees to the Agent and the Banks the due and punctual payment to the Banks when due,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all amounts, including, without limitation, principal, interest (including interest accruing on or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like
proceeding by the Borrower or any Account Party, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such a proceeding), and all other liabilities 

 
and obligations, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out of, or in
connection with: 
  
 (a) any and all Notes made
or to be made to the order of the Banks (or any of them) by Borrower from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement; 
  
 (b) any and all Letter of Credit Agreements executed or to be executed by the Account Parties from time to time pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, and any Letters of Credit issued or to be issued thereunder; 
  
 (c) all other Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of Borrower and/or any Account Party under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents or [Interest Rate Protection Agreements],
whether such Indebtedness is now existing or hereafter arising; and 
  
 (d) all extensions, renewals and amendments of or to such Notes, Letter of Credit Agreements, Letters of Credit or such other Indebtedness, or any replacements or substitutions therefor; 
  
 whether on account of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, and
reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent or any Bank) or otherwise, and hereby agrees that if Borrower or any other Account Party shall fail to pay any of such amounts
when and as the same shall be due and payable, or shall fail to perform and discharge any covenant, representation or warranty in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents (subject, in each
case, to any applicable periods of grace or cure), it will forthwith pay to the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, an amount equal to any such amount and will pay any and all damages that may be incurred or suffered in consequence thereof by Agent or
any of the Banks and all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by Agent in enforcing such covenant, representation or warranty of Borrower, or such Account Party and in enforcing the covenants and
agreements of this Guaranty. 
  
 3. Unconditional Character of
Guaranty. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be a guaranty of payment and not of collection, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Credit
Agreement, the Letter of Credit Agreements, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents, or any provision thereof, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to or any amendment of any provision
thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of the obligations of Borrower or any Account Party under the Notes, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan
Documents, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation, defense or termination, whether with or without notice to any of the Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives diligence, demand for payment, filing of claims with any court, any
proceeding to enforce any provision of the Notes executed by Borrower, or the Credit Agreement, the Letter of Credit Agreements, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents, any right to require a proceeding first against Borrower, any
Account Party, or 

  

 2 

 
against any other guarantor or other party providing collateral, or to exhaust any security for the performance of the obligations of Borrower or any Account
Party, any protest, presentment, notice or demand whatsoever, and each of the Guarantors hereby covenants that this Guaranty shall not be terminated, discharged or released except, subject to Section 6.8 hereof, upon final payment in full
subject to no revocation or rescission of all amounts due and to become due from Borrower or any Account Party, as and to the extent described in Section 2 above, and only to the extent of any such payment, performance and discharge. Each of
the Guarantors further covenants that no security now or subsequently held by the Agent or the Banks for the payment of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes made by Borrower under the Credit Agreement, or for the payment of any other Indebtedness
of Borrower or any Account Party to the Agent or the Banks under the Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement or Letter of Credit or the other Loan Documents, whether in the nature of a security interest, pledge, lien, assignment, setoff,
suretyship, guaranty, indemnity, insurance or otherwise, and no act, omission or other conduct of Agent or the Banks in respect of such security (excluding fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct), shall affect in any manner whatsoever the
unconditional obligation of this Guaranty, and that Agent and each of the Banks, in their respective sole discretion and without notice to any of the Guarantors, may release, exchange, enforce, apply the proceeds of and otherwise deal with any such
security without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligation of this Guaranty. 
  
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations, and the rights of the Agent to enforce the same on behalf of the Banks, by proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall
not be in any way affected by (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding up or other proceeding involving or affecting Borrower or any Account Party or others, or (ii) any
change in the ownership of any of the capital stock or other equity interests of Borrower, any Account Party or any other party providing collateral for any indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, or any of their respective Affiliates. 
  
 Each of the Guarantors hereby waives to the fullest extent possible under
applicable law: 
  
 (a) any defense based upon
the doctrine of marshalling of assets or upon an election of remedies by Agent or the Banks, including, without limitation, an election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure; 
  
 (b) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which
provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; 
  
 (c) any duty on the part of Agent or any of the Banks to disclose to the Guarantors any facts Agent or the Banks may now or hereafter know
about Borrower or any Account Party regardless of whether Agent or any Bank has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which each of the Guarantors intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts
are unknown to any of the Guarantors or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to the each of the Guarantors, since each of the Guarantors acknowledges that it is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial
condition of Borrower and the Account Parties and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any Indebtedness hereby guaranteed; 
  

 3 

 (d) any claim for reimbursement, contribution, exoneration, indemnity or subrogation, or
any other similar claim, which any such Guarantor may have or obtain against any Borrower or any Account Party by reason of the existence of this Guaranty, or by reason of the payment by any of the Guarantors of any Indebtedness or the performance
of this Guaranty or of any other Loan Documents; and 
  
 (e) any other event or action (excluding any of the Guarantors’ compliance with the provisions hereof) that would result in the discharge by operation of law or otherwise of any of the Guarantors from the performance or observance of
any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Guaranty. 
  
 The Agent and each of the Banks may deal with Borrower and the Account Parties and any security held by them for the obligations of Borrower or the Account Parties (as aforesaid), in the same manner and as freely as if this Guaranty did not
exist and Agent shall be entitled, on behalf of Banks, without notice to any of the Guarantors, among other things, to grant to Borrower and the Account Parties such extension or extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may seem advisable to
Agent (on behalf of the Banks) at any time and from time to time, and to permit Borrowers or the Account Parties to incur additional indebtedness to Agent, the Banks, or any of them, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity or
enforceability of this Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder. 
  
 The Agent may proceed, either in its own name (on behalf of the Banks) or in the name of one or more of the Guarantors, or otherwise, to protect and enforce any or all of its rights under this Guaranty by suit in
equity, action at law or by other appropriate proceedings, or to take any action authorized or permitted under applicable law, and shall be entitled to require and enforce the performance of all acts and things required to be performed hereunder by
the Guarantors. Each and every remedy of the Agent and of the Banks shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. 
  
 No waiver or release shall be deemed to have been made by the Agent or any of
the Banks of any of its rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all of the Banks or on behalf of the Banks by the Agent, and any such waiver shall be a waiver or release only with respect to the specific matter involved
and shall in no way impair the rights of the Agent or any of the Banks or the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty in any other respect at any other time. 
  
 At the option of the Agent, each of the Guarantors may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by the Agent against
any Borrower or any Account Party or any of the other parties providing collateral for any indebtedness covered by this Guaranty in connection with or based upon the Notes made by Borrower, the Credit Agreement, the Letter of Credit Agreements, the
Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents or other Indebtedness, or any provision thereof, and recovery may be had against each of the Guarantors in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against each of the
Guarantors, without 

  

 4 

 
any requirement that the Agent or the Banks first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against Borrower, any Account Party and/or any other party
providing collateral for any Indebtedness covered by this Guaranty. 
  
 As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with Agent that, should the amounts referred to in Section 2 of this Guaranty not be recoverable from
such Guarantor in its capacity as a guarantor under this Guaranty for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement or Letter of Credit, or any of
the other Loan Documents being or becoming void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law) then, notwithstanding any knowledge thereof by Agent and the Banks or any of them at any time, such Guarantor as sole, original and
independent obligor, upon demand by Agent, will make payment to Agent of all such amounts, by way of a full indemnity. 
  
 4. Benefit of the Credit. The initial Guarantors (other than Quantum) are Subsidiaries of the Borrower and each of the other Guarantors (other than
Quantum) will be a Subsidiary of the Borrower. The Borrower has requested that the Banks make credit available to Borrower to, among other things, provide a letter of credit facility for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the benefit of Borrower
and the Account Parties. Borrower and each of the Guarantors is expecting to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the credit extended by the Banks to Borrower and the Account Parties. 
  
 5. Collateral for Guaranty. The obligations of the Guarantors (other
than Quantum) under this Guaranty shall be secured by the security agreements, collateral assignments, and other Loan Documents executed and delivered to Agent, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, together with such other Loan Documents as required to
be executed and delivered by one or more of the Guarantors concurrently with or subsequent to the date hereof, all pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

can be effected in compliance with the Credit Agreement. Except to the extent of payments of principal, interest and/or other sums actually received by the Agent (or the Banks) pursuant to such cure, the exercise of such right to cure by any of the
Guarantors shall not reduce or otherwise affect the liability of such guarantor or any of the other Guarantors under this Guaranty.

United States Federal or Michigan state court sitting in Detroit in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty and each of the Guarantors and Agent hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in any such United States Federal or Michigan state court. Each of the Guarantors irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding brought in any court in or of the

GUARANTORS AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION 

  

 7 

 
BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS GUARANTY OR ANY COURSE
OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. NEITHER THE AGENT NOR ANY OF THE GUARANTORS SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY
OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE GUARANTORS EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY ALL OF
THEM. 
  
 6.11 Limitation under Applicable
Insolvency Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is the intention of each of the Guarantors, Agent and the Banks that the amount of each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be in, but not in excess of, the
maximum amount thereof not subject to avoidance or recovery by operation of applicable law governing bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent transfers or conveyances or
other similar laws (collectively, “Applicable Insolvency Laws”). To that end, but only in the event and to the extent that a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or any payment made pursuant thereto would, but for the operation of the
foregoing proviso, be subject to avoidance or recovery under Applicable Insolvency Laws, the amount of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be limited to the largest amount which, after effect thereto, would not, under Applicable
Insolvency Laws, render such Guarantor’s respective obligations hereunder unenforceable or avoidable or subject to recovery under Applicable Insolvency Laws. To the extent any payment actually made hereunder exceeds the limitation contained in
this Section 6.10, then the amount of such excess shall, from and after the time of payment by the Guarantors (or any of them), be reimbursed by the Banks upon demand by such Guarantor. The foregoing proviso is intended solely to preserve the
rights of the Agent and the Banks hereunder against the Guarantors to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither Company nor any Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 6.11
that would not otherwise be available under Applicable Insolvency Laws. 
  
 6.12 Amendment and Restatement. This Guaranty amends and restates in its entirety the Guaranty dated September 9, 2005 by certain of the Guarantors in favor of Agent. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned Guarantors has executed this
Guaranty as of the date set forth above.

 THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT is dated as of
                    ,
                    , by
                     , a
                     corporation (“New Guarantor”). 
  
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.19 of that certain Second Credit Amended and Restated Agreement dated as of
May 19, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrower, the Banks signatory thereto and Comerica Bank, as Agent for the Banks (in such capacity, “Agent”), and pursuant to Section 6.7 of that certain Guaranty
dated as of May 19, 2006 (the “Guaranty”) executed and delivered by the Guarantors named therein (“Guarantors”) in favor of Agent, for and on behalf of the Banks, the New Guarantor must execute and deliver a joinder
agreement in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty. 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, as a further inducement to Banks to continue to provide credit accommodations to Company and the Account Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement), New Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows: 

 

	 	1.	All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement unless expressly defined to the contrary. 

  

	 	2.	New Guarantor hereby enters into this Joinder Agreement in order to comply with Section 7.19 of the Credit Agreement and Section 6.7 of the Guaranty and does so in
consideration of the Advances made or to be made from time to time under the Credit Agreement (and the other Loan Documents, as defined in the Credit Agreement), from which New Guarantor shall derive direct and indirect benefit as with the other
Guarantors (all as set forth and on the same basis as in the Guaranty). 

  

	 	3.	New Guarantor shall be considered, and deemed to be, for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, a Guarantor under the Guaranty as fully as
though New Guarantor had executed and delivered the Guaranty at the time originally executed and delivered under the Credit Agreement and hereby ratifies and confirms its obligations under the Guaranty, all in accordance with the terms thereof.

  

	 	4.	No Default or Event of Default (each such term being defined in the Loan Agreement) has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement. 

  

	 	5.	This Joinder Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan and shall be binding upon New Guarantor and its successors and assigns. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned New Guarantor has executed and delivered this Joinder
