Securities or Instruments are now or at any time become evidenced, in whole or
in part, by uncertified securities registered or recorded in records maintained
by or on behalf of the issuer thereof in the name of a clearing agency or a

Schedule A recording the acquisition and particulars of such Instruments or
Securities within 15 days after such acquisition.  Upon request by the Security Agent, the

Securities or Instruments as security for the Secured Obligations, each
accompanied by a stock transfer power of attorney duly endorsed in blank for
transfer.  The Obligor will also promptly

(5)           At the

acquisition and particulars of such additional Intellectual Property.

 

Section 2.4            Scope of Security Interest.

 

(1)           To the
extent that an assignment of amounts payable and other proceeds arising under
or in connection with, or the grant of a security interest in any agreement,
licence, permit or quota of the Obligor would result in the termination of such
agreement, licence, permit or quota (each, a “Restricted
Asset”), the Security Interest with respect to each Restricted Asset
will constitute a trust created in favour of the Security Agent, for the
benefit of the Finance Parties, pursuant to which the Obligor holds as trustee
all proceeds arising under or in connection with the Restricted Asset in trust
for the Security Agent, for the benefit of the Finance Parties, on the
following basis:

 

(a)           subject
to the Facilities Agreement, until the Security Interest is enforceable the
Obligor is entitled to receive all such proceeds; and

 

(b)           whenever
the Security Interest is enforceable, (i) all rights of the Obligor to receive
such proceeds cease and all such proceeds will be immediately paid over to the
Security Agent for the benefit of the Finance Parties, and (ii) the Obligor
will take all actions requested by the Security Agent to collect and enforce
payment and other rights arising under the Restricted Asset.

 

The Obligor will use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
consent of each other party to any and all Restricted Assets to the assignment
of such Restricted Asset to the Security Agent in accordance with this
Agreement.  The Obligor will also use all
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all agreements entered into on
and after the date of this Agreement expressly permit assignments of the
benefits of such agreements as collateral security to the Security Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(2)           The
Security Interest with respect to trade-marks constitutes a security interest
in, and a charge, hypothecation and pledge of, such Collateral in favour of the
Security Agent for the benefit of the Finance Parties, but does not constitute
an assignment of such Collateral to the Security Agent or any Finance Party.

 

8

 

(3)           Until
the Security Interest is enforceable, the grant of the Security Interest in the
Intellectual Property does not affect in any way the Obligor’s rights to
commercially exploit the Intellectual Property, defend it, enforce the
Obligor’s rights in it or with respect to it against third parties in any court
or claim and be entitled to receive any damages with respect to any
infringement of it.

 

(4)           The
Security Interest does not extend to consumer goods or ULC Shares.

 

(5)           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 the Obligor, but the Obligor
will stand possessed of any such last day upon trust to assign and dispose of
it as the Security Agent may reasonably direct.

 

Section 2.5            Grant of Licence to Use Intellectual Property.

 

At such time as the Security Agent is lawfully entitled to exercise its
rights and remedies under Article 3, the Obligor grants to the Security
Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive licence (exercisable without payment of
royalty or other compensation to the Obligor) to use or sublicense or to assign
any Intellectual Property in which the 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 Security Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under Article 3
and for no other purpose.

 

Section 2.6            Care and Custody of Collateral.

 

(1)           The
Finance Parties have no obligation to keep Collateral in their possession
identifiable.

 

(2)           The
Security Agent may, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default,
(i) notify any Person obligated on an Instrument, Security or account to make
payments to the Security Agent, whether or not the Obligor was previously
making collections on such accounts, chattel paper or instruments, and (ii)
assume control of any proceeds arising from the Collateral.  For greater certainty, except where it is a
condition for the charge of any such Instrument, Security or account to be
valid and enforceable, the Obligor shall not be required to notify any Person
who is party to any such Instrument, Security or account that has been charged
hereunder that such Instrument, Security or account has been so charged (prior
to enforcement of the Security Interest) so long as the Parent notifies the
Security Agent in writing that, in the reasonable opinion of the Parent, such
notification would be likely to materially prejudice the relationship the
Obligor has with such Person.

 

9

 

(3)           The
Security Agent has no obligation to collect dividends, distributions or
interest payable on, or exercise any option or right in connection with, any
Securities or Instruments.  The Security
Agent has no obligation to protect or preserve any Securities or Instruments
from depreciating in value or becoming worthless and is released from all
responsibility for any loss of value.  In
the physical keeping of any Securities, the Security Agent is only obliged to
exercise the same degree of care as it would exercise with respect to its own
Securities kept at the same place.

 

Section 2.7            Rights of the Obligor.

 

(1)           Until
the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Obligor is entitled
to (i) vote the Securities that are part of the Collateral provided that,
the Obligor shall not be entitled to vote, or otherwise permit or agree to any
(a) variation of any rights attaching to or conferred by any of the
Securities, (b) increase the issued capital of the entity whose securities
are pledged hereunder, which in either case for (a) and (b) above, would, in
the reasonable opinion of the Security Agent, prejudice the ability of the
Security Agent or the Finance Parties to enforce the Security Interest, and
(ii) to receive all dividends and distributions on such Securities.  In
order to allow the Obligor to vote any Securities registered in the Security
Agent’s name or the name of its nominee, at the request and the expense of the
Obligor, the Security Agent will, prior to the Security Interest being
enforceable, and may, after the Security Interest is enforceable, execute valid
proxies appointing proxyholders to attend and act at meetings of shareholders,
and execute resolutions in writing, all pursuant to the relevant provisions of
the issuer’s governing legislation.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the Obligor to vote (under
any proxy given by the Security Agent (or its nominee) or otherwise) or to
receive distributions or dividends cease and all such rights become vested
solely and absolutely in the Security Agent.

 

(2)           Any
distributions or dividends received by the Obligor contrary to
Section 2.7(1) or any other moneys or property received by the Obligor
after the Security Interest is enforceable will be received as trustee for the
Security Agent and the Finance Parties and shall be immediately paid over to
the Security Agent.

 

Section 2.8            Expenses.

 

The Obligor is liable for and will pay on demand by the Security Agent
any and all Expenses.

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 Security Agent and the
Finance Parties however arising or created. 
The Security Agent and the Finance Parties are not bound to exercise any
right or remedy, and the exercise of rights and remedies is without prejudice
to the rights of the Security Agent and the Finance Parties 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 Security Agent is vested with the rights and remedies
which could have been exercised by the Security Agent in respect of the Obligor
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 Security
Agent.

 

(2)           Any
receiver appointed by the Security Agent will act as agent for the Security
Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral, but otherwise
and for all other purposes (except as provided below), as agent for the
Obligor.  The receiver may sell, lease,
or otherwise dispose of Collateral as agent for the Obligor or as agent for the
Security Agent as the Security Agent may determine in its discretion.  The Obligor agrees to ratify and confirm all
actions of the receiver acting as agent for the Obligor, and to release and
indemnify the receiver in respect of all such actions.

 

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

 

Section 3.6            Appointment of Attorney.

 

The Obligor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Security
Agent (and any officer of the Security Agent) the true and lawful attorney of
the Obligor.  As the attorney of the Obligor,
the Security Agent has the power to exercise for and in the name of the Obligor
with full power of substitution, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, any of the Obligor’s 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 Security Agent, its
nominees or transferees, and the Security 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 the 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

 

14

 

acknowledged) and survives, and does not terminate upon, the
bankruptcy, dissolution, winding up or insolvency of the Obligor.  This power of attorney extends to and is
binding upon the Obligor’s successors and permitted assigns.  The Obligor authorizes the Security Agent to
delegate in writing to another Person any power and authority of the Security
Agent under this power of attorney as may be necessary or desirable in the opinion
of the Security Agent, and to revoke or suspend such delegation.

 

Section 3.7            Dealing with the Collateral.

 

(1)           The
Security Agent and the Finance Parties are not obliged to exhaust their
recourse against the Obligor 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 Security Agent may
consider desirable.

 

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

 

(3)           Except
as otherwise provided by law or this Agreement, the Security Agent and the
Finance Parties 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 Security Agent to dispose of the
Collateral in any manner which is commercially reasonable, the Obligor
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

assignee of such Collateral may be the Security Agent, a Finance Party or a
customer of any such Person;

 

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

 

(g)           the
Security 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 Security Agent, any of the Finance Parties 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
Security Agent or the Finance Parties by the Obligor, (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 Security Agent or any Finance Party with the Collateral, or (vi) how any
money paid to the Security Agent or the Finance Parties has been applied.

 

(2)           Any
bona fide purchaser of all or any part of the Collateral from the Security
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
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 the Obligor has or may have under any rule of law or statute
now existing or hereafter adopted.

 

16

 

Section 3.10         Registration

of such issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and
do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the

22

This Agreement does not operate by way of merger of any of the Secured

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 and undertaking that any of the amalgamating corporations then
owns, (B) all of the property and undertaking that the amalgamated corporation
thereafter acquires, (C) all of the property and undertaking in which any of

Section 5.8            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

officer of the Security Agent (with the consent of the required Finance Parties
as stipulated by the Facilities Agreement). 
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.

 

24

 

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

 

Section 5.11         Application

under such other Finance Document shall apply such proceeds in accordance with
this Section.

 

Section 5.12         Conflict.

 

In
the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
provisions of the Facilities Agreement which cannot be resolved by both
provisions being complied with, the provisions contained in the Facilities

Agreement will be governed by, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable
therein.

Obligor irrevocably attorns and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any
court of competent jurisdiction of the Province of Ontario sitting in Toronto,
Ontario in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement.  The Obligor 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 Security Agent to bring
proceedings against the Obligor in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

 

(3)           The

the acquisition by the Obligor of any Registrable Intellectual Property. The

of such additional Intellectual Property.

 

Section 2.4            Scope of Security
Interest.

 

(1)           To the extent that an assignment of amounts payable and other
proceeds arising under or in connection with, or the grant of a security
interest in any agreement, licence, permit or quota of the Obligor would result
in the termination of such agreement, licence, permit or quota (each, a “Restricted Asset”), the Security Interest with respect to
each Restricted Asset will constitute a trust created in favour of the Security
Agent, for the benefit of the Finance Parties, pursuant to which the Obligor
holds as trustee all proceeds arising under or in connection with the
Restricted Asset in trust for the Security Agent, for the benefit of the
Finance Parties, on the following basis:

 

(a)           subject to the Facilities Agreement, until the Security Interest is
enforceable the Obligor is entitled to receive all such proceeds; and

 

(b)           whenever the Security Interest is enforceable, (i) all rights of the
Obligor to receive such proceeds cease and all such proceeds will be
immediately paid over to the Security Agent for the benefit of the Finance
Parties, and (ii) the Obligor will take all actions requested by the Security
Agent to collect and enforce payment and other rights arising under the
Restricted Asset.

 

The Obligor will use all commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the consent of each other party to any and all Restricted
Assets to the assignment of such Restricted Asset to the Security Agent in
accordance with this Agreement. 

 

7

 

The Obligor will also use all commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that all agreements entered into on and after the date of
this Agreement expressly permit assignments of the benefits of such agreements
as collateral security to the Security Agent in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.

 

(2)           The Security Interest with respect to trade-marks constitutes a
security interest in, and a charge, hypothecation and pledge of, such
Collateral in favour of the Security Agent for the benefit of the Finance
Parties, but does not constitute an assignment of such Collateral to the
Security Agent or any Finance Party.

 

(3)           Until the Security Interest is enforceable, the grant of the
Security Interest in the Intellectual Property does not affect in any way the
Obligor’s rights to commercially exploit the Intellectual Property, defend it,
enforce the Obligor’s rights in it or with respect to it against third parties
in any court or claim and be entitled to receive any damages with respect to
any infringement of it.

 

(4)           The Security Interest does not extend to consumer goods or ULC
Shares.

 

(5)           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 the Obligor,
but the Obligor will stand possessed of any such last day upon trust to assign
and dispose of it as the Security Agent may reasonably direct.

 

Section 2.5            Grant of Licence to Use
Intellectual Property.

 

At such time as the Security Agent is
lawfully entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under Article 3, the
Obligor grants to the Security Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive licence
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Obligor)
to use or sublicense or to assign any Intellectual Property in which the
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 Security
Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under Article 3 and for no other
purpose.

 

Section 2.6            Care and Custody of
Collateral.

 

(1)           The Finance Parties have no obligation to keep Collateral in their
possession identifiable.

 

(2)           The Security Agent may, upon
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, (i) notify any
Person obligated on an Instrument, Security or account to make payments to the
Security Agent, whether or not the Obligor was 

 

8

 

previously
making collections on such accounts, chattel paper or instruments, and (ii)
assume control of any proceeds arising from the Collateral. For greater
certainty, except where it is a condition for the charge of any such
Instrument, Security or account to be valid and enforceable, the Obligor shall
not be required to notify any Person who is party to any such Instrument,
Security or account that has been charged hereunder that such Instrument,
Security or account has been so charged (prior to enforcement of the Security
Interest) so long as the Parent notifies the Security Agent in writing that, in
the reasonable opinion of the Parent, such notification would be likely to
materially prejudice the relationship the Obligor has with such Person.

 

(3)           The Security Agent has no obligation to collect dividends,
distributions or interest payable on, or exercise any option or right in
connection with, any Securities or Instruments. The Security Agent has no
obligation to protect or preserve any Securities or Instruments from
depreciating in value or becoming worthless and is released from all
responsibility for any loss of value. In the physical keeping of any
Securities, the Security Agent is only obliged to exercise the same degree of
care as it would exercise with respect to its own Securities kept at the same
place.

 

Section 2.7            Rights of the Obligor.

 

(1)           Until the occurrence of an
Event of Default which is continuing, the Obligor is entitled to
(i) vote the Securities that are part of the Collateral provided that, the
Obligor shall not be entitled to vote, or otherwise permit or agree to any
(a) variation of any rights attaching to or conferred by any of the
Securities, (b) increase the issued capital of the entity whose securities
are pledged hereunder, which in either case for (a) and (b) above, would, in
the reasonable opinion of the Security Agent, prejudice the ability of the
Security Agent or the Finance Parties to enforce the Security Interest, and
(ii) to receive all dividends and distributions on such Securities. In order to
allow the Obligor to vote any Securities registered in the Security Agent’s
name or the name of its nominee, at the request and the expense of the Obligor,
the Security Agent will, prior to the Security Interest being enforceable, and
may, after the Security Interest is enforceable, execute valid proxies
appointing proxyholders to attend and act at meetings of shareholders, and
execute resolutions in writing, all pursuant to the relevant provisions of the
issuer’s governing legislation. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
all rights of the Obligor to vote (under any proxy given by the Security Agent
(or its nominee) or otherwise) or to receive distributions or dividends cease
and all such rights become vested solely and absolutely in the Security Agent.

 

9

 

(2)           Any
distributions or dividends received by the Obligor contrary to Section 2.7(1)
or any other moneys or property received by the Obligor after the Security
Interest is enforceable will be received as trustee for the Security Agent and
the Finance Parties and shall be immediately paid over to the Security Agent.

 

Section 2.8            Expenses.

 

The Obligor is liable for and will pay on
demand by the Security Agent any and all Expenses.

 

ARTICLE 3

ENFORCEMENT

 

Section 3.1            Enforcement.

 

The Security
Interest shall be and become enforceable against the Obligor upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing and has not been waived
under the Facilities Agreement and which has resulted in the Facility Agent
serving a notice under clause 23.16(a) of the Facilities Agreement.

 

Section 3.2            Remedies.

 

Whenever the Security Interest is
enforceable, the Security Agent may realize upon the Collateral and enforce the
rights of the Security Agent and the Finance Parties by:

 

(a)           entry onto any premises where Collateral consisting of tangible
personal property may be located;

 

(b)           entry into possession of the Collateral by any method permitted by

Intellectual Property);

 

(i)            instruction to any bank which has entered into a control agreement
with the Security Agent to transfer all moneys, Securities and Instruments held
by such depositary bank to an account maintained with or by the Security Agent;

 

(j)            application of any moneys constituting Collateral or proceeds
thereof in accordance with Section 5.11;

 

(k)           appointment by instrument in writing of a receiver (which term as
used in this Agreement includes a receiver and manager) or agent of all or any
part of the Collateral and removal or replacement from time to time of any
receiver or agent;

 

(l)            institution of proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a receiver of all or any part of the Collateral;

 

(m)          institution of proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction

Section 3.2 and elsewhere in this Agreement, whenever the Security
Interest is enforceable, the Security Agent may:

Collateral at a place or places designated by notice in writing and the Obligor
agrees to so assemble the Collateral immediately upon receipt of such notice;

Security Agent the location or locations of the Collateral and the Obligor
agrees to promptly make such disclosure when so required;

for such time as the Security Agent sees fit, free of charge, and the Security

(h)           borrow for the purpose of carrying on the business of the Obligor or

(j)            at any public sale, and to the extent permitted by law on any
private sale, bid for and purchase any or all of the Collateral offered for
sale and upon compliance with the terms of such sale, hold, retain and dispose
of such Collateral without any further accountability to the Obligor or any
other Person with respect to such holding, retention or 

 

12

 

disposition, except as required by law. In
any such sale to the Security Agent, the Security Agent may, for the purpose of
making payment for all or any part of the Collateral so purchased, use any
claim for Secured Liabilities then due and payable to it as a credit against
the purchase price.

 

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 Security Agent and the Finance Parties however arising or created.
The Security Agent and the Finance Parties are not bound to exercise any right
or remedy, and the exercise of rights and remedies is without prejudice to the
rights of the Security Agent and the Finance Parties in respect of the Secured
Liabilities including the right to claim for any deficiency.

 

Section 3.5            Receiver’s Powers.

 

(1)           Any receiver appointed by the Security Agent is vested with the
rights and remedies which could have been exercised by the Security Agent in
respect of the Obligor 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 Security Agent.

 

(2)           Any receiver appointed by the Security Agent will act as agent for
the Security Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral, but
otherwise and for all other purposes (except as provided below), as agent for
the Obligor. The receiver may sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of Collateral
as agent for the Obligor or as agent for the Security Agent as the Security
Agent may determine in its discretion. The Obligor agrees to ratify and confirm
all actions of the receiver acting as agent for the Obligor, and to release and
indemnify the receiver in respect of all such actions.

 

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

 

Section 3.6            Appointment of Attorney.

 

The Obligor hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints the Security Agent (and any officer of the Security Agent) the
true and lawful attorney of the Obligor. As the attorney of the Obligor, the Security
Agent has the power to exercise for and in the name of the Obligor with full
power of substitution, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, any of the Obligor’s right (including the right of disposal),
title and interest in and to the Collateral including the 

 

13

 

execution, endorsement, delivery and transfer of the
Collateral to the Security Agent, its nominees or transferees, and the Security
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 the 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 the Obligor. This power of attorney extends to and is binding
upon the Obligor’s successors and permitted assigns. The Obligor authorizes the Security Agent to delegate in writing to
another Person any power and authority of the Security Agent under this power
of attorney as may be necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Security
Agent, and to revoke or suspend such delegation.

 

Section 3.7            Dealing with the
Collateral.

 

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

 

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

 

(3)           Except as otherwise provided by law or this Agreement, the Security
Agent and the Finance Parties 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
Security Agent to dispose of the Collateral in any manner which is commercially
reasonable, the Obligor acknowledges that:

 

14

 

(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 Security Agent, a Finance
Party or a customer of any such Person;

 

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

 

(g)           the Security 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 Security Agent, any of the Finance
Parties 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 Security Agent or the Finance Parties by the Obligor,
(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 Security Agent or any Finance Party with the Collateral,
or (vi) how any money paid to the Security Agent or the Finance Parties has
been applied.

 

(2)           Any bona fide purchaser of all or any part of the Collateral from
the Security Agent or any receiver or agent will hold the Collateral
absolutely, free from 

 

15

 

any
claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity of redemption, of the
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 the Obligor has or may have under any rule of law or statute
now existing or hereafter adopted.

 

Section 3.10         Registration Rights.

 

If the Security
Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities
that are Collateral, and if in the opinion of the Security Agent it is
necessary or advisable to have any such Securities:

 

(a)           qualified for distribution by prospectus pursuant to the applicable
securities legislation in any or all provinces and territories of Canada, the
Obligor will cause the issuer thereof to (i) use its best efforts to file, and
obtain a receipt from the applicable securities regulatory authorities, for a
preliminary and final prospectus offering for sale such number of Securities as
the Security Agent directs; and (ii) execute and deliver, and cause the
directors and officers of such issuer to execute and deliver, all such

the Obligor will cause the issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause
the directors and officers of such issuer to execute and deliver, all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as
may be, in the opinion of the Security Agent, necessary or advisable to
register the Securities pledged hereunder, or that portion thereof to be sold,
under the provisions of the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the
registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain
effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering
of the Securities pledged hereunder, or that portion thereof to be sold, and
(iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in
the opinion of the Security Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in
conformity with the requirements of the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations
applicable thereto.

 

The Obligor
agrees to cause such issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities
legislation in effect in any or all of the provinces of Canada, the U.S.

Interest over such share capital or other 

 

21

 

equity interests of
the Parent in favour of the Security Agent (and the Finance Parties to the
extent required by applicable local law) on substantially the same terms as the
pledge of Securities herein.

 

Section 5.3            No Merger, Survival of
Representations and Warranties.

 

This Agreement does not operate by way of
merger of any of the Secured Liabilities and no judgment recovered by the
Security Agent or any of the Finance Parties 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 Security
Agent and the Finance Parties in respect of the Secured Liabilities. The
representations, warranties and covenants of the Obligor in this Agreement
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any advances under the
Facilities Agreement. Notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Security Agent or the Finance Parties the covenants, representations and
warranties continue in full force and effect.

 

Section 5.4            Further Assurances.

 

The Obligor will do all acts and things and
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all documents and

prejudice to and supplemental to all other security now held or which may
hereafter be held by the Security Agent or the Finance Parties.

 

Section 5.6            Successors and Assigns.

 

This Agreement is binding on the Obligor,
its successors and assigns, and enures to the benefit of the Security Agent,
the Finance Parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement
may be assigned by the Security Agent without the consent of, or notice to, the
Obligor, to such Person as the Security Agent may determine and, in such event,
such Person will be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Security
Agent as set forth in this Agreement or otherwise. In any action brought by an
assignee to enforce any such right or remedy, the Obligor will not assert
against the assignee any claim or defence which the Obligor now has or may have
against the Security Agent or any of the Finance 

 

22

 

Parties. The
Obligor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Security Agent
which may be unreasonably withheld.

 

Section 5.7            Amalgamation.

 

The Obligor 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 and undertaking that any
of the amalgamating corporations then owns, (B) all of the property and
undertaking that the amalgamated corporation thereafter acquires, (C) all of
the property and undertaking in which any of the amalgamating corporations then
has any interest and (D) all of the property and undertaking in which the
amalgamated corporation thereafter acquires any interest; and (ii) secures the
payment and performance of all debts, liabilities and obligations, present or
future, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any
time or from time to time due or accruing due and owing by or otherwise payable
by each of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation to the
Finance Parties in any currency, however or wherever incurred, and whether
incurred alone or jointly with another or others and whether as principal,
guarantor or surety 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”
means, 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 Liabilities”
means the obligations described in (ii) above.

 

Section 5.8            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 5.9            Amendment.

 

This Agreement may only be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified by written agreement executed by the
Security Agent (with the consent of the required Finance Parties as stipulated
by the Facilities Agreement) and the Obligor.

 

Section 5.10         Waivers, etc.

 

(1)           No consent or waiver by the Security Agent or the Finance Parties in
respect of this Agreement is binding unless made in writing and signed by an
authorized officer of the Security Agent (with the consent of the required 

 

23

 

Finance
Parties as stipulated by the Facilities Agreement). 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 Security Agent or the Finance
Parties in exercising a right under this Agreement does not operate as a waiver
of, or impair, any right of the Security Agent or the Finance Parties however
arising. A single or partial exercise of a right on the part of the Security
Agent or the Finance Parties does not preclude any other or further exercise of
that right or the exercise of any other right by the Security Agent or the
Finance Parties.

 

Section 5.11         Application of Proceeds of
Security.

 

All monies collected by the Security Agent
upon the enforcement of the Security Agent’s or the Finance Parties’ rights and
remedies under the Security Documents and the Encumbrances created by them
including any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, together with all
other monies received by the Security Agent and the Finance Parties under the
Security Documents, will be applied in accordance with the Intercreditor Deed. To
the extent any other Finance Document requires proceeds of collateral under
such Finance Document to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Security Agent or holder under such other Finance Document shall
apply such proceeds in accordance with this Section.

 

Section 5.12         Conflict.

 

In the event of
any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the
Facilities Agreement which cannot be resolved by both provisions being complied
with, the provisions contained in the Facilities Agreement will prevail to the
extent of such conflict.

 

Section 5.13         Governing Law.

 

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

 

(2)           The Obligor irrevocably attorns and submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction of the
Province of Ontario sitting in Toronto, Ontario in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Obligor 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 Security 

 

24

 

Agent to bring proceedings against the Obligor in
the courts of any other jurisdiction.

 

(3)           The Obligor 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 the Obligor at 5403 Eglinton
Avenue West, Etobicoke, Ontario, M9C 5K6. Nothing in this Section affects the right of the Security Agent to serve
process in any manner permitted by law.

 

Section 5.14         Application of Saskatchewan

Contracts (Actions) Act (Saskatchewan) shall have no application to
