by such Obligor of any Registrable Intellectual Property at the time of
delivery of its quarterly and annual financial statements in accordance with
the Indenture. At such time, the applicable Obligor will provide the Collateral
Agent with revised Schedules (8)(a) and (8)(b) of the Perfection
Certificate, as applicable, recording the acquisition and particulars of such
additional Proprietary Rights Collateral and with a Confirmation of Security
Interest in the form of Schedule A in respect of such
Canadian Registrable Intellectual Property and Schedule B in respect of such
U.S. Registrable Intellectual Property, as applicable, confirming the
assignment for security of such Registrable Intellectual Property to the
Collateral Agent and immediately make all such filings, registrations and
recordings as are necessary or appropriate to perfect the Security Interest
granted to the Collateral Agent in the Registrable Intellectual Property
(including filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the
United States Copyright Office and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office).

 

Section 2.4                                               Scope
of Security Interest.

 

(1)                                  The
Security Interest with respect to Trademarks constitutes a security interest
in, and a charge, hypothecation and pledge of, such Collateral in favour of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, but does not
constitute an assignment or mortgage of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent
or any Secured Creditor.

 

(2)                                  Until
the Security Interest is enforceable, the grant of the Security Interest in the
Proprietary Rights Collateral does not affect in any way the applicable Obligor’s,
rights to (i) commercially exploit the Proprietary Rights Collateral, (ii) defend
it, (iii) enforce such Obligor’s rights in it or with respect to it
against third parties in any court or (iv) claim and be entitled to
receive any damages with respect to any infringement of it.

 

(3)                                  The
Security Interest does not extend to consumer goods.

 

(4)                                  The
Security Interest does not extend or apply to the last day of the term of any
lease or sublease of real property or any agreement for a lease or sublease of
real property, now held or hereafter acquired by any of the Obligors, but each
of such Obligor will stand possessed of any such last day upon trust to assign
and dispose of it as the Collateral Agent may reasonably direct.

 

(5)                                  Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Security Interest will not extend to
Capital Stock of any Credit Party if the pledge of any such Capital Stock
hereunder would require, pursuant to Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of
Regulation S-X under the U.S. Securities Act (or any other law, rule or
regulation), the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of
separate financial statements of such Credit Party due to the fact that such
Credit Party’s Capital Stock secure the Secured

 

17

 

Obligations.  In the event that Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16
of Regulation S-X under the U.S. Securities Act is amended, modified or
interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or
regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would
permit) such Credit Party’s Capital Stock to secure the Secured Obligations
without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate
financial statements of such Credit Party, then the Security Interest securing
the Secured Obligations of such Credit Party shall automatically be deemed to
extend to such Capital Stock.

 

Section 2.5                Grant
of Licence to Use Proprietary Rights Collateral.

 

(1)                                  At
such time as the Collateral Agent is lawfully entitled to exercise its rights and
remedies under Article 3, each of the Obligors grants to the Collateral
Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive licence (exercisable without payment of
royalty or other compensation to such Obligor) to use, assign or sublicense any
Proprietary Rights Collateral in which such Obligor has rights wherever the
same may be located, including in such licence access to (i) all media in
which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored, and (ii) all
software and computer programs used for compilation or print-out.  The license granted under this Section is
to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under Article 3
and for no other purpose.

 

(2)                                  The Collateral Agent acknowledges that the standard of
quality for the use, assignment or sublicensing of Proprietary
Rights Collateral of each of the
Obligors shall be no less than the standard of quality employed by such Obligor
as of the day before the exercise of rights and remedies under Article 3
by the Collateral Agent in conjunction with wares and/or services sold in
association with such Proprietary Rights Collateral.

 

Section 2.6                Care
and Custody of Collateral.

 

(1)                                  The
Secured Creditors have no obligation to keep fungible Collateral in their
possession identifiable.

 

(2)                                  The
Collateral Agent has no obligation to collect dividends, distributions or
interest payable on, or exercise any option or right in connection with any
Collateral.  The Collateral Agent has no
obligation to protect or preserve any Collateral from depreciating in value or
becoming worthless and is released from all responsibility for any loss of
value, whether such Collateral is in the possession of, is a security
entitlement of, or is subject to the control of, the Collateral Agent, a
securities intermediary, any of the Obligors or any other Person.

 

Section 2.7                Rights
of the Obligors.

 

(1)                                  Until
the occurrence of an Event of Default
which is continuing and upon notice from the Collateral Agent,
each Obligor is entitled to vote the Capital Stock and to receive all dividends
and distributions on the Capital Stock. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
and upon notice from the Collateral Agent, all rights of each Obligor to vote
(under any proxy given by the 

 

18

 

Collateral Agent (or its
nominee) or otherwise) or to receive distributions or dividends (other than
distributions or dividends in any fiscal year from one Obligor to another
Obligor which do not exceed the amount of the tax payments required to be made
by such other Obligor in such fiscal year)  cease and all
such rights become vested solely and absolutely in the Collateral Agent.

 

(2)                                  Any
distributions or dividends received by each Obligor contrary to Section 2.7(1) any
other moneys or property received by each Obligor after the Security Interest
is enforceable, and upon the Collateral Agent’s notice of its intent to
exercise such rights, will be received as trustee for the Collateral Agent and
the Secured Creditors and shall be immediately paid over to the Collateral
Agent.

 

Section 2.8                Collateral
Account.

 

On
the date hereof, Gibson Energy shall duly execute and deliver to the Collateral
Agent a control agreement substantially in the form attached as Schedule E (or such other form acceptable to the
Collateral Agent) with respect to such Collateral Account and take all
necessary steps to establish account arrangements with the Collateral Agent as
contemplated thereunder.  On or prior to
opening or creating the Collateral Account, Gibson Energy shall notify the ABL
Credit Agent and the Collateral Agent of the details of the Collateral Account.

Section 3.3                Additional
Rights.

(a)                                  require
each of the Obligors, at the applicable Obligor’s expense, to assemble the
Collateral at a place or places designated by notice in writing and such
Obligor agrees to so assemble the Collateral promptly upon receipt of such
notice;

 

20

 

(b)                                 require

on the Obligors);

 

(e)                                  pay
any liability secured by any Lien against any Collateral (each of the Obligors,
as applicable, will promptly upon receipt of written notice reimburse the
Collateral Agent for all such payments);

 

(f)                                    carry
on all or any part of the business of any of the Obligors and, to the exclusion
of all others including the applicable Obligor, enter upon, occupy and use all
or any of the premises, buildings, and other property of or used by such
Obligor for such time as the Collateral Agent sees fit, free of charge, and the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors are not liable to such Obligor for
any act, omission or negligence in so doing or for any rent, charges,
depreciation or damages incurred in connection with or resulting from such
action;

 

(g)                                 borrow
for the purpose of carrying on the business of any of the Obligors or for the
maintenance, preservation or protection of the Collateral and grant a security
interest in the Collateral, whether or not in priority to the Security
Interest, to secure repayment;

 

(h)                                 commence,
continue or defend any judicial or administrative proceedings for the purpose
of protecting, seizing, collecting, realizing or obtaining possession or
payment of the Collateral, and give good and valid receipts and discharges in
respect of the Collateral and compromise or give time for the payment or

any public sale, and to the extent permitted by law on any private sale, bid

compliance with the terms of such sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
Collateral without any further accountability to any of the Obligors or any
other Person with respect to such holding, retention or disposition, except as
required by law.  In any such sale to the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may, for the purpose of making payment
for all or any part of the Collateral so purchased, use any claim for Secured
Obligations then due and payable to it as a credit against the purchase price.

 

21

 

Section 3.4                Exercise
of Remedies.

 

The remedies under Section 3.2 and Section 3.3
may be exercised from time to time separately or in combination and are in
addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights of the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Creditors however arising or created.  The Collateral Agent and the Secured
Creditors are not bound to exercise any right or remedy, and the exercise of
rights and remedies is without prejudice to the rights of the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Creditors in respect of the Secured Obligations including the
right to claim for any deficiency.

 

Section 3.5                Receiver’s
Powers.

 

(1)                                  Any
receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent is vested with the rights and
remedies which could have been exercised by the Collateral Agent in respect of
each of the Obligors or the Collateral and such other powers and discretions as
are granted in the instrument of appointment and any supplemental
instruments.  The identity of the
receiver, its replacement and its remuneration are within the sole and
unfettered discretion of the Collateral Agent.

 

(2)                                  Any
receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent will act as agent for the Collateral
Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral, but otherwise
and for all other purposes (except as provided below), as agent for each of the
Obligors.  The receiver may sell, lease,
or otherwise dispose of Collateral as agent for each of the Obligors or as
agent for the Collateral Agent as the Collateral Agent may determine in its
discretion.

 

(3)                                  The
Collateral Agent, in appointing or refraining from appointing any receiver,
does not incur liability to the receiver, each of the Obligors or otherwise and
is not responsible for any misconduct or negligence of such receiver.

 

Section 3.6                Appointment
of Attorney.

 

Each of the Obligors hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints the Collateral Agent (and any officer of the Collateral Agent) the
true and lawful attorney of the Obligors. 
As the attorney of the Obligors, the Collateral Agent has the power to
exercise for and in the name of each of the Obligors with full power of
substitution, upon (and only
upon) the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
any of the Obligors’ right (including the right of disposal), title and
interest in and to the Collateral including the execution, endorsement,
delivery and transfer of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent, its nominees
or transferees, and the Collateral Agent and its nominees or transferees are
hereby empowered to exercise all rights and powers and to perform all acts of
ownership with respect to the Collateral to the same extent as such Obligor
might do.  This power of attorney is
irrevocable, is coupled with an interest, has been given for valuable
consideration (the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged) and survives,
and does not terminate upon, the bankruptcy, dissolution, winding up or
insolvency of any of the Obligors.  This
power of attorney extends to and is binding upon each of the Obligor’s
successors and permitted assigns.  Each
of the  Obligors authorizes the Collateral Agent to delegate
in writing to another Person any power and authority of the Collateral Agent 

 

22

 

under
this power of attorney as may be necessary or desirable in the opinion of the
Collateral Agent, and to revoke or suspend such delegation.

 

Section 3.7                Dealing
with the Collateral.

 

(1)                                  The
Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors are not obliged to exhaust their
recourse against any of the Obligors or any other Person or against any other
security they may hold in respect of the Secured Obligations before realizing
upon or otherwise dealing with the Collateral in such manner as the Collateral
Agent may consider desirable.

 

(2)                                  The
Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors may grant extensions or other indulgences,
take and give up securities, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges
and otherwise deal with each of the Obligors and with other Persons, sureties
or securities as they may see fit without prejudice to the Secured Obligations,
the liability of the applicable Obligor or the rights of the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Creditors in respect of the Collateral.

 

(3)                                  Except
as otherwise provided by law or this Agreement, the Collateral Agent and the
Secured Creditors are not (i) liable or accountable for any failure to
collect, realize or obtain payment in respect of the Collateral, (ii) bound
to institute proceedings for the purpose of collecting, enforcing, realizing or
obtaining payment of the Collateral or for the purpose of preserving any rights
of any Persons in respect of the Collateral, (iii) responsible for any
loss occasioned by any sale or other dealing with the Collateral or by the
retention of or failure to sell or otherwise deal with the Collateral, or (iv) bound
to protect the Collateral from depreciating in value or becoming worthless.

 

Section 3.8                Standards
of Sale.

 

Without prejudice to the ability of the Collateral
Agent to dispose of the Collateral in any manner which is commercially
reasonable, each of the Obligors acknowledges that:

 

(a)                                  the
Collateral may be disposed of in whole or in part;

 

(b)                                 the
Collateral may be disposed of by public auction, public tender or private
contract, with or without advertising and without any other formality;

 

(c)                                  any
assignee of such Collateral may be the Collateral Agent, a Secured Creditor or
a customer of any such Person;

 

(d)                                 any
sale conducted by the Collateral Agent will be at such time and place, on such
notice and in accordance with such procedures as the Collateral Agent, in its
sole discretion, may deem advantageous;

 

(e)                                  the
Collateral may be disposed of in any manner and on any terms necessary to avoid
violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may
restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that the
prospective bidders and purchasers have certain 

 

23

 

qualifications, and restrict
the prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree
that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or resale of the Collateral) or in order to obtain any
required approval of the disposition (or of the resulting purchase) by any
governmental or regulatory authority or official;

 

(f)                                    a
disposition of the Collateral may be on such terms and conditions as to credit
or otherwise as the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem
advantageous; and

 

(g)                                 the
Collateral Agent may establish an upset or reserve bid or price in respect of
the Collateral.

 

Section 3.9                Dealings
by Third Parties.

 

(1)                                  No
Person dealing with the Collateral Agent, any of the Secured Creditors or an
agent or receiver is required to determine (i) whether the Security
Interest has become enforceable, (ii) whether the powers which such Person
is purporting to exercise have become exercisable, (iii) whether any money
remains due to the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors by any of the
Obligors, (iv) the necessity or expediency of the stipulations and conditions
subject to which any sale or lease is made, (v) the propriety or
regularity of any sale or other dealing by the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Creditor with the Collateral, or (vi) how any money paid to the Collateral
Agent or the Secured Creditors has been applied.

 

(2)                                  Any
bona fide purchaser of all or any part of the Collateral from the Collateral
Agent or any receiver or agent will hold the Collateral absolutely, free from
any claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity of redemption, of the
applicable Obligor, which it specifically waives (to the fullest extent
permitted by law) as against any such purchaser together with all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which such Obligor has or may have under any rule of
law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.

 

Section 3.10             ULC
Limitation.

 

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Indenture Document or
other agreement among all or some of the parties hereto, each Obligor is as of
the date of this Agreement the sole registered and beneficial owner of all
Pledged ULC Shares more particularly described in Schedule (7)(a) of the
Perfection Certificate as being held by it and will remain so until such time
as such Pledged ULC Shares are fully and effectively transferred into the name
of the Collateral Agent or any other person on the books and records of such
ULC.  Nothing in this Agreement, the
Indenture or any other Indenture Document or other agreement delivered among
all or some of the parties hereto is intended to or shall constitute any
Secured Creditor or any person other than an Obligor to be a member or
shareholder of any ULC until such time as written notice is given to the
applicable Obligor and all further steps are taken so as to register such
Secured Creditor or other person as holder of the Pledged ULC Shares.  The granting of the pledge and Security
Interest pursuant to Article 2 does not make 

 

24

 

the Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Creditor a successor to any Obligor as a member or shareholder of
any ULC, and none of the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Creditor and any
of its or their respective successors or permitted assigns hereunder shall be
deemed to become a member or shareholder of any ULC by accepting this Agreement
or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if any, when
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor or any successor or assign
expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC.  Each Obligor shall be entitled to receive and
retain for its own account any dividends or other distributions, if any, in
respect of the Collateral, and shall have the right to vote such Pledged ULC
Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the ULC issuing
such Pledged ULC shares to the same extent as such Obligor would if such
Pledged ULC Shares were not pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Creditors or to any other person pursuant hereto.  To the extent any provision hereof would have
the effect of constituting the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor
to be a member or shareholder of any ULC prior to such time, such provision
shall be severed herefrom and ineffective with respect to the relevant Pledged
ULC Shares without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this
Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as
it relates to Collateral other than Pledged ULC Shares.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary (except to the extent, if any, that the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Creditor or any of its or their successors or assigns hereafter
expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC), none of the
Collateral Agent, any other Secured Creditor and any of its or their respective
successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become
liable for any debts or obligations of any ULC. 
Except upon the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Creditor or other persons of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Pledged ULC
Shares or other remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, each Obligor shall not cause or permit, or enable any ULC
in which it holds Pledged ULC Shares to cause or permit, the Collateral Agent
or any other Secured Creditor to: (a) be registered as member or
shareholder of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favour in
the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as member or shareholder
of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property
or other distributions from such ULC by reason of the Secured Creditor or other
person holding a security interest in the Pledged ULC Shares; or (e) act
as a member or shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a member or
shareholder of such ULC, including the right to attend a meeting of such ULC or
vote the shares of such ULC.

 

Section 3.11             Voting.

 

(1)                                  The
provisions of this Section 3.11 shall apply solely after incurrence of the
Additional Secured Obligations.  The
provisions of the Indenture shall apply prior to the incurrence of any such
Additional Secured Obligations.

 

(2)                                  The
Required Secured Creditors shall have the right to direct the Collateral Agent,
following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, to
foreclose on, or exercise its other rights with respect to, the Collateral (or
exercise other remedies with respect to the Collateral). For the purposes of
determining the Required Secured Creditors and their directions in accordance
with this Section, each Secured Creditor or its Authorized Representative shall
provide to the Collateral Agent certificates, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, 

 

25

 

setting forth the respective
amounts of outstanding principal obligations owing to such Secured Creditors
and their direction or vote and the Collateral Agent shall be fully entitled to
rely on such certificates.

 

(3)                                  Any
action taken or not taken without the vote of any Secured Creditor or Secured
Creditors under this Section 3.11 shall nevertheless be binding on such
Secured Creditor or Secured Creditors.

 

(4)                                  Except
as provided in the succeeding sentence or in Section 5.17, in the case of
an Event of Default which is continuing, the Collateral Agent will only be
permitted, subject to applicable law, to exercise remedies and sell the
Collateral under this Agreement at the direction of the Required Secured
Creditors.  If the Collateral Agent has
asked the Secured Creditors for instruction and the applicable Secured
Creditors have not yet responded to such request, the Collateral Agent shall be
authorized to take, but shall not be required to take, and shall in no event
have any liability for the taking, any delay in taking or the failure to take,
such actions with regard to a Default or Event of Default which  is continuing which the Collateral Agent, in
good faith, believes to be reasonably required to promote and protect the
interests of the Secured Creditors and to preserve the value of the Collateral
and shall give the Secured Creditors appropriate notice of such action;
provided that once instructions with respect to such request have been received
by the Collateral Agent from the applicable Secured Creditors, the actions of
the Collateral Agent shall be governed thereby and the Collateral Agent shall
not take any further action which would be contrary thereto.

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

 

Section 4.1                General
Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

 

Each of the Obligors represents and warrants and
covenants and agrees, acknowledging and confirming that the Collateral Agent
and each other Secured Creditor is relying on such representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements, that:

 

(a)                                  Continuous Perfection.  Schedule (2) of
the Perfection Certificate sets out each Obligor’s chief executive office,
being the address of the office of each of the Obligors where its most senior
executive officers are located, where such executive officers generally
transact business and from which the chief administrative and policy-making
functions of such Obligor emanate. 
Schedule (2) of the Perfection Certificate also sets out the
address at which the books and records of each of the Obligors are located and
the address from which the invoices and accounts of each of the Obligors are
issued.

 

Section 4.2                Additional Security
Perfection and Protection of Security Interest.

 

Each of the Obligors will grant to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, security interests,
assignments, mortgages, charges, hypothecations and pledges in the Collateral
of such Obligor that is not subject to a valid and perfected first ranking
security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) constituted by the Security
Documents, in 

 

26

 

each relevant jurisdiction
as reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent.  Each of the Obligors will execute,
acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgement and delivery
of, and thereafter register, file, signify, publish, perfect, preserve,
maintain, or record, or cause to be registered, filed, signified, published,
perfected, preserved, maintained or recorded, in an appropriate governmental
office, any document or instrument supplemental to or confirmatory of the
Security Documents or otherwise deemed by the Collateral Agent reasonably
necessary or desirable for the continued validity, perfection, preservation,
maintenance, protection and priority of the Liens on the Collateral covered
thereby subject to no other Liens except Permitted Liens including: (i) executing,
recording and filing of financing or other statements, and paying all taxes,
fees and other charges payable, (ii) placing notations on its books of
account to disclose the Security Interest, and (iii) executing and
delivering any certificates, endorsements, instructions, agreements, documents
and instruments that may be required under the STA.  Each of the Obligors will deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Collateral Agent from time to time such other
documentation, consents, authorizations, approvals and orders in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent as the Collateral
Agent shall reasonably deem necessary to perfect or maintain the perfection and
priority of the Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Security
Documents.  If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, upon the exercise by the Collateral Agent or the
Required Secured Creditors of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to
any Indenture Document which requires any consent, approval, registration,
qualification or authorization of any Governmental Entity, each of the Obligors
will execute and deliver all applications, certifications, instruments and
other documents and papers that the Collateral Agent or the Required Secured
Creditors may reasonably require.  If the
Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Required Secured Creditors determine that
they are required by law to have appraisals prepared in respect of the Real
Property of any Obligor constituting Collateral, such Obligor shall provide to
the Collateral Agent appraisals that satisfy the applicable requirements of the
Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of FIRREA and are otherwise in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent.  Each of the Obligors shall, from time to time
whether before or after the Security Interest becomes enforceable, promptly and
duly authorize, execute and deliver such further deeds, transfers, assignments,
agreements, instruments and documents, and take such further action, as the
Collateral Agent may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the
full benefits of, and the rights and powers granted by, this Agreement.  The documents contemplated by this paragraph
must be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and all such
actions and deliveries shall be at the expense of each of the Obligors.

 

Section 4.3                Further
Documentation.

 

Each of the Obligors acknowledges that this
Agreement has been prepared based on the existing laws of the Province of
Alberta, and that a change in such laws, or the laws of other jurisdictions, may
require the execution and delivery of different forms of security
documentation.  Accordingly, each of the
Obligors agrees that the Collateral Agent will have the right to require that
this Agreement be amended or supplemented or replaced, and that such Obligor
will immediately on request of the Collateral Agent authorize, execute and
deliver any such amendment, supplement or replacement (i) to reflect any
changes in such laws, whether arising as a result of statutory amendments,
court decisions or

 

27

 

otherwise; (ii) to
facilitate the creation and registration of appropriate security in all
appropriate jurisdictions; or (iii) if such Obligor merges or amalgamates
with any other Person or enters into any corporate reorganization, in each case
in order to confer on the Collateral Agent Liens similar to, and having the
same effect as, the Security Interest. 
The Obligors shall, from time to time after the Security Interest has
become enforceable, do all such acts and things and execute and deliver all
such deeds, transfers, assignments, agreements, instruments and documents as
the Collateral Agent may require for facilitating the sale or other disposition
of the Collateral in connection with any realization thereof.

Section 5.2                Discharge.

 

(1)                                  Except
as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.2(2) and 5.2(3), the
Security Interest will be discharged upon, but only upon, full payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations and termination of all commitments
thereunder (other than contingent indemnity obligations), if any.  Upon discharge of the Security Interest and
at the request and expense of the Obligors, the Collateral Agent will execute
and deliver to the Obligors such financing statements and other documents or
instruments as the Obligors may reasonably require and the Collateral Agent
will redeliver to the Obligors against receipt and without recourse to or
warranty by the Collateral Agent, or as the Obligors may otherwise direct the
Collateral Agent, any Collateral in its possession which shall not have been
sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(2)                                  The
Security Interest in proceeds of Collateral which:

 

(a)                                  constitute
any Accounts (other than Accounts comprising part of the Specified Contract
Rights), Assigned Claims (other than Assigned Claims comprising part of the
Specified Contract Rights), cash, cash equivalents, currency and moneys (other
than cash, cash equivalents, currency or moneys directed to be and deposited in
or credited to the Collateral Account) which arise, become payable or are paid
or collected prior to the Proceeds Date in the following circumstances:

 

(i)                                     where
the ABL Credit Agent had no actual knowledge that same constituted proceeds of
Collateral (x) at the time any such Accounts or Assigned Claims giving
rise to the payments, collections, cash, cash equivalents, currency or moneys
were created or, (y) in the case of payments or collections, not resulting
from any Account or Assigned Claim, at the time such payments, collections,
cash, cash equivalents, currency or moneys were paid or collected; and

 

(ii)                                  where
at such Proceeds Date, there are outstanding Loan Agreement Obligations; and

 

(iii)                               where
the ABL Credit Agent in its sole discretion has not expressly agreed that any
such proceeds constitute proceeds of Collateral; and

 

(b)                                 which
form part of the Liquidity Collateral;

 

will be automatically
released on the Proceeds Date without any further action by the Collateral
Agent.

 

30

 

For the purposes of this Section 5.2(2),
the terms “Accounts”, “Assigned Claims”, “Loan Agreement Obligations” and “Proceeds
Date” have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(3)                                  The
Collateral shall be released from the liens created hereunder pursuant to
provisions of Sections 8.04 and 8.07 of the Indenture; provided that after the
issuance of Additional Secured Obligations, no Collateral shall be released
from the lien of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.2(3), unless
such release is also permitted by the Additional Secured Debt Documents.

 

(4)                                  At
any time that any Obligor desires that the Collateral Agent take any action to
acknowledge or give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to Section 5.2(1),
Section 5.2(2) or Section 5.2(3) the Obligor shall deliver
to the Collateral Agent (a) a certificate signed by an officer of such
Obligor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted
pursuant to such Section 5.2(1), Section 5.2(2) or Section 5.2(3) and
(b) any other documents required by Section 8.04 of the Indenture.

 

(5)                                  The
Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured
Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with
(or which the Collateral Agent believes to be in accordance with) this Section 5.2.

 

Section 5.3                No Merger, Survival of
Representations and Warranties.

 

This Agreement does not operate by way of merger of
any of the Secured Obligations and no judgment recovered by the Collateral
Agent or any of the Secured Creditors will operate by way of merger of, or in
any way affect, the Security Interest, which is in addition to, and not in
substitution for, any other security now or hereafter held by the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Creditors in respect of the Secured Obligations.  The representations, warranties and covenants
of each of the Obligors in this Agreement survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the issuance of Notes. 
Notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral
Agent or the Secured Creditors these covenants, representations and warranties
continue in full force and effect.

 

Section 5.4                Supplemental Security.

 

This Agreement is in addition to, without prejudice
to and supplemental to all other security now held or which may hereafter be
held by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors.

 

Section 5.5                Successors and Assigns.

 

This Agreement creates a continuing Security
Interest in the Collateral and shall (i) be binding on each of the
Obligors and its successors and assigns, and (ii) enure, together with the
rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors and each of their respective
successors, permitted transferees and permitted assigns.  No other Person (including any other creditor
of any Obligor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with
respect hereto.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any Secured Creditor may transfer any indebtedness
held by it secured by this Agreement to any other Person, and such other 

 

31

 

Person shall thereupon
become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured
Creditor, herein or otherwise, subject however, in the case of a Noteholder, to
the provisions of the Indenture, and in the case of an Additional Secured
Creditor, to the provisions of the Additional Secured Debt Documents.  None of the Obligors may
assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent which may
be unreasonably withheld except pursuant to transactions permitted under the
Indenture.  Each of the Obligors
agrees that its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored by the Secured Creditors upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Obligor or otherwise.

 

Section 5.6                Amalgamation.

 

Each of the Obligors acknowledges and agrees that in
the event it amalgamates with any other corporation or corporations, it is the
intention of the parties that the Security Interest (i) subject to Section 2.4,
extends to: (A) all of the property of the type and description set forth
in Section 2.1 that any of the amalgamating corporations then owns, (B) all
of the property of the type and description set forth in Section 2.1 that
the amalgamated corporation thereafter acquires, (C) all of the property
of the type and description set forth in Section 2.1 in which any of the amalgamating
corporations then has any interest and (D) all of the property of the type
and description set forth in Section 2.1 in which the amalgamated
corporation thereafter acquires any interest; and (ii) secures the payment
and performance of all debts, liabilities and obligations of each of the
amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation of nature and kind
set forth in Section 2.2 and whether incurred prior to, at the time of or
subsequent to the amalgamation.  The
Security Interest attaches to the additional collateral at the time of
amalgamation and to any collateral thereafter owned or acquired by the
amalgamated corporation when such becomes owned or is acquired.  Upon any such amalgamation, the defined term “Obligor”
includes, collectively, each of the amalgamating corporations and the
amalgamated corporation, the defined term “Collateral” means all of the
property and undertaking and interests described in (i) above, and the
defined term “Secured
Obligations” means the obligations described in (ii) above.

 

Section 5.7                Severability.

 

If any court of competent jurisdiction from which no
appeal exists or is taken, determines any provision of this Agreement to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed from this Agreement
and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

 

Section 5.8                Amendment.

 

This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified by written agreement executed by the Collateral Agent and
each of the Obligors affected by such amendment, supplement or modification and
subject to any consent of the Noteholders required in accordance with the
Indenture and any consent of the Additional Secured Creditors required by the
Additional Secured Debt Documents.

 

32

 

Section 5.9                Waivers, etc.

 

(1)                                  No
consent or waiver by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors in respect
of this Agreement is binding unless made in writing and signed by an authorized
officer of the Collateral Agent and subject to any consent of the Noteholders
required in accordance with the Indenture and any consent of the Additional
Secured Creditors required by the Additional Secured Debt Documents.  Any consent or waiver given under this
Agreement is effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given.  No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement constitutes a waiver of any other
provision.

 

(2)                                  A
failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors
in exercising a right under this Agreement does not operate as a waiver of, or
impair, any right of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors however
arising.  A single or partial exercise of
a right on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors does not
preclude any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any
other right by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors.

 

Section 5.10             Application of Proceeds of
Security.

 

(1)                                  Prior

Collateral Agent’s or the Secured Creditors’ rights and remedies under the
Security Documents and the Liens created by them including any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral, together with all other monies received by the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors under the Collateral Documents, will
be applied as provided in the Indenture.

 

(2)                                  After
the joinder of any Additional Secured Creditors pursuant to Section 5.15,
all monies collected by the Collateral Agent upon the enforcement of the
Collateral Agent’s or the Secured Creditors’ rights and remedies under the
Security Documents and the Liens created by them including any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral, together with all other monies received by the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors under the Security Documents will be
applied as follows:

 

(a)                                  First,
to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and
taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to
the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities
and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith
and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification
pursuant to the provisions of any Indenture Document, together with interest on
each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from
and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

 

(b)                                 Second,

Additional Secured Debt Documents;

 

(c)                                  Third,
without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clause (1) above, to
the payment in full in cash, pro rata, of interest and other amounts
constituting Secured Obligations (other than principal) and any fees and
premiums constituting Secured Obligations and any interest accrued thereon, in
each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof
then due and owing;

 

(d)                                 Fourth,
to the payment in full in cash, pro rata, of principal amount of the Secured
Obligations and any premium thereon; and

 

(e)                                  Fifth,
the balance, if any, to the person lawfully entitled thereto (including the
applicable Credit Party or its successors or assigns) or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct.

 

All applications of proceeds pursuant to clauses (a) through
(d) above shall be allocated among the Secured Creditors on a pro rata
basis according to the principal (or, in the case of discount notes, accreted
value), interest and other amounts owing in respect of the Secured Obligations
at the time of the distribution.  In the
event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items
described in clauses (1) through (3) of this Section 5.10(2),
the Obligors shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency.

 

(3)                                  Upon
the request of the Collateral Agent prior to any distribution under this Section 5.10,
each Secured Creditor or its Authorized Representative shall provide to the
Collateral Agent certificates, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent, setting forth the respective amounts referred to in Section 5.10(2),

entitled to receive, and the Collateral Agent shall be fully entitled to rely
on such certificates.

 

(4)                                  If,
despite the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Creditor shall receive
any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account
of the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this
Agreement, such Secured Creditor shall hold such payment or recovery in trust
for the benefit of all Secured Creditors for distribution in accordance with
this Section 5.10.

 

Section 5.11             Governing Law.

 

(1)                                  This Agreement will be governed by, interpreted and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal
laws of Canada applicable therein.

 

(2)                                  Each of the Obligors irrevocably attorns and submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction of the
Province of Alberta sitting in Calgary, Alberta in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this 

 

34

 

Agreement
and the other Indenture Documents to which it is a party.  Each of the Obligors irrevocably waives
objection to the venue of any action or proceeding in such court or that such
court provides an inconvenient forum. 
Nothing in this Section limits the right of the Collateral Agent to
bring proceedings against any of the Obligors in the courts of any other
jurisdiction.

 

(3)                                  Each of the Obligors hereby irrevocably consents to the
service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the delivery
of copies of such process to such Obligor as set forth in Section 12.02 of
the Indenture.  Nothing in this Section affects
the right of the Collateral Agent to serve process in any manner permitted by
law.

 

Section 5.12             Application of Saskatchewan Law.

 

(1)                                  The Land Contracts (Actions) Act (Saskatchewan) shall have no application to any action, as
defined therein, with respect to this Agreement.

 

(2)                                  The Limitation of Civil Rights Act (Saskatchewan) shall have no application to (i) this
Agreement, (ii) any mortgage, charge or other security for the payment of
money made, given or created by this Agreement, (iii) any agreement or
instrument renewing or extending or collateral to this Agreement or any
mortgage, charge or other security referred to or mentioned in (ii) above,
or (iv) the rights, powers or remedies of the Agent under this Agreement
or any mortgage, charge, other security, agreement or instrument referred to or
mentioned in (ii) or (iii) above.

 

Section 5.13             Filings.

 

Each Obligor hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time, to file in any relevant
jurisdiction any financing statement (including fixture filings) and amendments
thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC of
each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or
amendment relating to the Collateral, including the filing of a financing
statement describing the Collateral as “all assets now owned or hereafter
acquired by the Obligor or in which Obligor otherwise has rights”.  Each Obligor agrees to provide all
information necessary for such filings to the Collateral Agent promptly upon
request by the Collateral Agent.  Each
Obligor hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent to file filings with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or
the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (or any successor office or any
similar office in any other country), including this Agreement, the
Confirmation of Security Interest in Intellectual Property, or other documents
for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting
the security interest granted by such Obligor hereunder, without the signature
of such Obligor, and naming such Obligor, as debtor, and the Collateral Agent,
as secured party.

 

Section 5.14                            Waiver
of Financing Statement, Etc.

 

Each of the Obligors hereby waives the right to
receive from the Collateral Agent or the Secured Creditors a copy of any
financing statement, financing change statement or other statement or document
filed or registered at any time in respect of this Agreement or 

 

35

 

any verification statement
or other statement or document issued by any registry that confirms or
evidences registration of or relates to this Agreement.

 

Section 5.15             Additional Secured Obligations.

 

On or after the date hereof, the Issuers may from
time to time designate additional First Lien Obligations as additional Secured
Obligations hereunder (the “Additional Secured
Obligations”) by delivering to the Collateral Agent (a) a
certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Issuers (i) identifying
the obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face amount
thereof, stating that such obligations are designated as Additional Secured
Obligations for purposes hereof, (ii) representing that such designation
of such obligations as Additional Secured Obligations complies with the terms
of the Indenture and (iii) specifying the name and address of the
Authorized Representative for such obligations; and (b) a fully executed
Additional Secured Creditor Joinder (in the form attached as Schedule D).  Each Authorized Representative agrees that
upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in the preceding sentence,
the Collateral Agent shall act as agent under and subject to the terms of this
Agreement for the benefit of all Secured Creditors, including any Additional
Secured Creditors that hold any such Additional Secured Obligations, and each
Authorized Representative agrees to the appointment, and acceptance of the
appointment, of the Collateral Agent as agent for the holders of such
Additional Secured Obligations as set forth in the Additional Secured Creditor
Joinder, and the Authorized Representative providing such Additional Secured
Creditor Joinder shall, on behalf of itself and each Additional Secured
Creditor it represents, be bound by this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, all
Obligations arising under or in connection with the Notes (including Additional
Notes and Exchange Notes) constitute Note Obligations rather than Additional
Secured Obligations; however upon the issuance of Additional Notes, the Issuers
shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by the chief
financial officer of the Issuers setting forth the particulars of the
Additional Notes including the aggregate principal amount or face amount
thereof and certifying that such issuance of First Lien Obligations complies
with the terms of the Indenture.

 

Section 5.16             Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts (including counterparts by facsimile) and all such counterparts
taken together will be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  The party sending the facsimile transmission
will also deliver the original signed counterpart to the other parties,
however, failure to deliver the original signed counterpart shall not
invalidate this Agreement.

 

Section 5.17             Collateral Agent.

 

(1)                                  Each
Noteholder, by its acceptance of the Indenture, and each Authorized Representative
of any Additional Secured Creditors on behalf of itself and the Additional
Secured Creditors that it represents, by its execution of an Additional Secured
Creditor Joinder, has appointed, and each other Secured Creditor, by accepting
the benefits hereof, hereby appoints, BNY Trust Company of Canada to serve as
Collateral Agent and representative of itself and any other Secured Creditors
that it represents under each of the Security Documents, and authorizes 

 

36

 

the Collateral Agent to act
as agent for itself and such Secured Creditors for the purpose of executing and
delivering, on behalf of itself and such Secured Creditors, each of the
Security Documents and any other documents or instruments related thereto or
necessary or, as determined by the Collateral Agent, desirable to perfect the
Liens granted to the Collateral Agent thereunder, for the purpose of holding
the Liens on the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents, and,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, for the purpose of enforcing its
and such Secured Creditors’ rights in respect of the Collateral and the
obligations of the Obligors under the Security Documents, and for the purpose
of, or in connection with, releasing the obligations of the Obligors under the
Security Documents.  The Collateral Agent
hereby agrees that it shall so act as Collateral Agent and representative of
the Secured Creditors subject to, in respect of any Additional Secured
Creditors, compliance by the Authorized Representative on behalf of such
Additional Secured Creditors with Section 5.15. The Collateral Agent shall
have the sole authority to exercise remedies under the Security Documents.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right
hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the
release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with the Secured
Agreements.  The Collateral Agent may resign,
may be removed and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner
provided under Section 5.19.

 

(2)                                  The
Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which a reasonable
person accords his own property consisting of similar property, instruments or
interests, it being understood that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the
Secured Creditors shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking
action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve
rights against any person with respect to any Collateral.

 

(3)                                  The
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement,
certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to the Secured Agreements
and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it (who may be
counsel to one or more of the Obligors). 
The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive,
direct or indirect knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent has received written
notice from a Secured Creditor, the Issuers or an Obligor referring to the
applicable Secured Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and
stating that it is a “notice of default” or a “notice of event of default”,
setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances thereof and
stating that the Collateral Agent may rely on such notice without further
inquiry.  The Collateral Agent shall have
no obligation or duty prior to or after receiving any such notice to inquire
whether a Default or Event

 

37

 

of Default has in fact
occurred and shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully
protected in so relying, on any such notice furnished to it.

 

(4)                                  If
any item of Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral
Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or
instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions
hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security
agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the
terms of this Agreement shall apply.

 

(5)                                  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent is authorized,
but not obligated, (i) to take any action reasonably required to perfect
or continue the perfection of the liens on the Collateral for the benefit of
the Secured Creditors and (ii) when instructions from the Authorized
Representatives on behalf of the applicable Secured Creditors have been
requested by the Collateral Agent but have not yet been received, to take any
action which the Collateral Agent, in good faith, believes to be reasonably
required to promote and protect the interests of the Secured Creditors in the
Collateral; provided that once instructions have been received, the actions of
the Collateral Agent shall be governed thereby and the Collateral Agent shall
not take any further action which would be contrary thereto.

 

(6)                                  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Security Document, the
Collateral Agent shall not be required to take or refrain from taking, and
shall have no liability to any Secured Creditor for taking or refraining from
taking, any action that exposes or, in the good faith judgment of the
Collateral Agent may expose, the Collateral Agent or its officers, directors,
agents or employees to personal liability, unless the Collateral Agent shall be
adequately indemnified, or that is, or in the good faith judgment of the
Collateral Agent may be, contrary to any Security Document, any other Secured
Agreement or applicable law.  Upon
receipt of such indemnity, however, the Collateral Agent shall act upon the
specific instructions of the Authorized Representatives provided in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, except for any instructions that in the
good faith judgment of the Collateral Agent may be contrary to any Security
Document, any other Secured Agreement or applicable law.

 

(7)                                  For
purposes of this Agreement and other Security Documents, each Secured Creditor
shall appoint a Person as its Authorized Representative for the purpose of
giving or delivering any notices or instructions hereunder and thereunder.  Any instructions given by the Authorized
Representatives (other than the Trustee) on behalf of the applicable Secured
Creditors to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be
in writing signed by the Authorized Representative(s) of the applicable
Secured Creditors with respect to such instructions and such instructions shall
certify to and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent the outstanding
aggregate principal amount (or, in the case of discount notes, accreted value)
of all Secured Obligations that the Secured Creditors authorizing such
instructions hold.  In determining
whether the applicable Secured Creditors have consented to any action under the
Security Documents, the Collateral Agent may 

 

38

 

conclusively rely on each
Authorized Representative as to the amount of Secured Obligations held by holders
represented by such Authorized Representative. 
The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively and absolutely
rely on such instructions and certification as to the identity of the
applicable Secured Creditors with respect to such instructions, and the
Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action, and shall not be
liable to any Secured Creditor for failing or refusing to act, pursuant to any
instructions which are not given or delivered by the Authorized Representatives
of various Secured Creditors comprising the applicable Secured Creditors as
required by Section 3.11.

 

(8)                                  Each
Obligor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral
Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent
or the exercise or nonexercise by the 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 shall, as between the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Creditors, be governed by the provisions of this
Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from
time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Obligors,
the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for
the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors with full and valid
authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Obligor shall be under any
obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

 

(9)                                  Subject
to Section 5.17(6), neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its 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 Obligor or any other person or to take any other action
whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.  The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent
hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Collateral Agent in the
Collateral and, subject to Section 5.17(6), shall not impose any duty upon
the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers.  The Collateral Agent shall be accountable
only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such
powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents
shall have any duty or liability or be responsible to any Obligor for any act
or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  The Collateral Agent shall
have no duty or liability as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve
or protect the Collateral or to preserve rights against prior parties.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral
Agent shall not be required or obligated, to (i) present or file any claim
or notice or take any action with respect to any Collateral or in connection
therewith or (ii) notify any Obligor of any decline in the value of any
Collateral.  The Collateral Agent shall
have no duty as to the collection of any Collateral in its possession or
control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the
Collateral Agent, or any income thereon or any other rights pertaining thereto.

 

39

 

(10)                            No
provision of the Secured Agreements shall be deemed to impose any duty or
obligation on the Collateral Agent to perform any act or acts, receive or
obtain any interest in property or exercise any interest in property, or
exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any
jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Collateral Agent
shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to
perform any such act or acts, to receive or obtain any such interest in
property or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation; and no
permissive or discretionary power or authority available to the Collateral
Agent shall be construed to be a duty.

 

(11)                            The
Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give
notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or
refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of
Collateral), in each case in accordance with the Secured Agreements.

 

(12)                            Upon
resignation of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 5.19,
the Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Secured Agreements. 
Following the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the provisions of the
Secured Agreements shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it under the Secured Agreements while it was the
Collateral Agent.

 

(13)                            The
Collateral Agent shall not have any liability hereunder except for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct, or material breach and under no
circumstances shall the Collateral Agent be liable for any special, punitive,
exemplary or consequential damages.

 

(14)                            The
Collateral Agent shall be vested with all of the rights, powers, benefits,
privileges and protections of the Collateral Agent set forth in the Indenture,
all of which are incorporated herein and shall apply to all of the Security
Documents.

 

(15)                            The
Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights
and powers hereunder or under any other Indenture Document by or through, or
delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents
appointed by such Agent, including a sub-agent which is a non-U.S. affiliate of
the Collateral Agent. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.17,
neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors,
employees, attorney or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence,
genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality,
enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Security Documents, for the
creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Lien securing
the First Lien Obligations, or for any defect or deficiency as to any such
matters, or for any failure to demand, collect, foreclose or realize upon or
otherwise enforce any such Liens or Security Documents or any delay in doing so
provided that if instructed by the Required Secured Creditors in accordance
with the provisions of the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent (subject to
receipt of an indemnity requested by it and acceptable to it and any other
applicable provisions of the Security Documents) shall comply with instructions
from such Required Secured 

 

40

 

Creditors.  The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Affiliates.  The
exculpatory provisions of this Section 5.17 shall apply to any agent,
attorneys-in-fact or sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent
and any such agent, attorneys-in-fact or sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the exercise of the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent provided for hereunder, as well as all other
activities as Collateral Agent.

 

Section 5.18             Costs
and Expenses.

 

(1)                                  Each
Obligor, on a joint and several basis, shall pay all reasonable out of pocket
expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent (including the fees,
charges and disbursements of not more than one counsel plus, if necessary, one
local counsel per jurisdiction for the Trustee or the Collateral Agent), in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (i) in
connection with this Agreement and the other Indenture Documents, including its
rights under this Section 5.18 (ii) in connection with the Indenture
Documents, the Security Interest created thereunder or the Collateral,
including all legal fees, court costs, receiver’s or agent’s remuneration and
other expenses of taking possession of, repairing, protecting, insuring,
preparing for disposition, realizing, collecting, selling, transferring,
delivering or obtaining payment for the Collateral, and of taking, defending or
participating in any action or proceeding in connection with any of the
foregoing matters or otherwise in connection with the interest of the
Collateral Agent, the Secured Creditors’ (or any one of them) interest in any
Collateral, whether or not directly relating to the enforcement of this
Agreement and the other Indenture Documents, or (iii) in connection with
the issuance of Notes under the Indenture, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
of such issuance of Notes and (iv) all documentary and similar taxes and
charges in respect of the Indenture Documents.

 

(2)                                  Each
Obligor, on a joint and several basis, shall indemnify the Trustee (and any
sub-trustee thereof) and the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and
their respective Affiliates and each officer, director, employee or agent
thereof (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses (including reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee
or asserted against any Indemnitee by any party hereto or any third party
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any action,
investigation, suit or proceeding (whether commenced or threatened) relating to
or arising out of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any
other Indenture Document, or any amendment, amendment and restatement,
modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof, or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any
issuance of Notes or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any
actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous
Materials on, at, under or from any property or facility owned, leased or
operated by any Credit Party at any time, or any 

 

41

 

Environmental Claim related
in any way to any Credit Party, or (iv)  any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by Issuers or any other Credit Party, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to
any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by any
Credit Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s
obligations hereunder or under any other Indenture Document, if such Credit
Party has obtained a judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(3)                                  All
amounts due under this Section 5.18 shall be payable not later than three (3) Business
Days after demand therefor.

 

Section 5.19               Resignation
and Removal of Collateral Agent.

 

(1)                                  A
resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor
Collateral Agent will become effective only upon the successor Collateral Agent’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 5.19.

 

(2)                                  The
Collateral Agent may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from its
obligations hereunder created by so notifying the Issuers.  Prior to the incurrence of Additional Secured
Obligations, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may remove the Collateral Agent by so notifying the
Collateral Agent and the Issuers in writing. 
After incurrence of the Additional Secured Obligations, the Required
Secured Creditors may remove the Collateral Agent by so notifying the
Collateral Agent and the Issuers in writing. 
The Issuers may remove the Collateral Agent if:

 

(a)                                  the
Collateral Agent is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief
is entered with respect to the Collateral Agent under any Bankruptcy Law;

 

(b)                                 a
custodian or public officer takes charge of the Collateral Agent or its
property; or

 

(c)                                  the
Collateral Agent becomes incapable of acting.

 

(3)                                  If
the Collateral Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office
of Collateral Agent for any reason, the Issuers will promptly appoint a
successor Collateral Agent.  Within one
year after the successor Collateral Agent takes office, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (and,
after the issuance of any Additional Secured Obligations, solely the Required
Secured Creditors) may appoint a successor Collateral Agent to replace the
successor Collateral Agent appointed by the Issuers.

 

42

 

(4)                                  If a
successor Collateral Agent does not take office within sixty (60) days after
the retiring Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Collateral
Agent, the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (and, after the issuance of any Additional
Secured Obligations, the holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Secured Obligations) may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

 

(5)                                  A
successor Collateral Agent will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment
to the retiring Collateral Agent and to the Issuers.  The resignation or removal of a Collateral
Agent shall become effective only upon (a) the execution and delivery of
such documents or instruments as are necessary to transfer the rights and
obligations of the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents and (b) the
recording or filing of such documents, instruments or financing statements and
the delivery of such Collateral as may be necessary to maintain the priority
and perfection of any security interest granted by the Security Documents.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the
Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent and compliance with the
immediately preceding sentence, the resignation or removal of the retiring
Collateral Agent will become effective, and the successor Collateral Agent will
have all the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent under the
Indenture and the Security Documents, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall
thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Secured
Agreements.  After any retiring
Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under the Secured
Agreements while it was the Collateral Agent.  The successor Collateral Agent will mail a
notice of its succession to each Authorized Representative.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Collateral
Agent pursuant to this Section 5.19, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 5.18
hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Collateral Agent.

 

(6)                                  If
the Collateral Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the
successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Collateral
Agent.

Section 2.3                                   Management of Account.

 

(1)                                  Prior
to receipt of a written notice from the Issuer or any Secured Creditor of the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and upon receipt of a direction
from the Issuer, the Collateral Agent shall invest the Cash Collateral Payments
in Permitted Investments in the name of the Collateral Agent in accordance with
such direction. After the Collateral Agent receives written notice from the
Issuer or any Secured Creditor of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default (and so long as such notice is not withdrawn by notice in writing by
the Collateral Agent), the proceeds received upon maturity, payment,
redemption, sale, disposition or collection of any Permitted Investment
together with any Yield thereon shall be deposited in the Account.

direction from the Issuer to the Collateral Agent shall be in writing and shall
be provided to the Collateral Agent no later than 9:00 a.m. Toronto time
on the day on which the investment is to be made. Any such direction received
by the Collateral Agent after 9:00 a.m. Toronto time or received on a
non-Business Day, shall be deemed to have been given prior to 9:00 a.m.
Toronto time the next Business Day. In the event that the Collateral Agent does
not receive a direction or only a partial direction, the Collateral Agent may
leave the undirected portion of Cash Collateral Payments on deposit in the
Account or may, but need not, invest same in its deposit department or the
deposit department of one of its affiliates; but the Collateral Agent and its
affiliates shall not be liable to account for any profit to any parties to this
Agreement or to any other Person other than at a rate, if any, established from
time to time by the Collateral Agent or one of its affiliates.

 

(3)                                  All
Permitted Investments or other securities and instruments or any other property
underlying any financial asset credited to the Account shall be registered in
the name of the Collateral Agent only or endorsed to the Collateral Agent or in
blank and in no case will any investment or other security or instrument
credited to the Account be registered in the name of the Issuer (or any of its
affiliates), payable to the order of the Issuer (or any of its affiliates) or
specially endorsed to the Issuer (or any of its affiliates).

 

Section 2.4                                   Reporting and Statements.

 

The Collateral
Agent will provide to the Issuer, at the Issuer’s expense, monthly statements
summarizing the daily activity in the Account. At such time or times as the
Issuer may request, the Collateral Agent will cause such financial institution
to promptly furnish to the Issuer any copies of bank statements, deposit
tickets, deposited items, debit and credit advices and other records maintained
by such financial institution or provide direct electronic access to such
information to the Issuer. The Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably and
expressly consents to the release of this information to the Issuer.  The Issuer will pay such reasonable fees and
expenses of such financial institution in providing such items and electronic
access to the Issuer.

 

Section 2.5                                   The Yield.

 

The Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to collect the Yield and to hold and apply the Yield in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 2.6                                   Costs and Expenses.

 

The normal and
customary out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent payable in
connection with the management of the Accounts shall be for the sole account of
the Issuer and such costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent shall
be payable on demand by the Issuer to the Collateral Agent and may be charged
by the Collateral Agent to the Account.

 

Section 2.7                                   Compliance with Court Order.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall have the right
to automatically debit the Account in accordance with any court order or any
other legal requirement with which the Collateral Agent reasonably determines
it is required to comply. The Collateral Agent shall provide prompt notice to
the Issuer of any such court order or other legal requirement.
