grant a continuing Lien on the Collateral (as herein defined) in favour of the
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the Obligations of the
Grantor (collectively, the “Grantor Obligations”);

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

 

1.                                  DEFINED TERMS.

 

All
capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given
to them in the Credit Agreement. All other undefined terms contained in this
Security Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise, have the meanings
provided for by the PPSA to the extent the same are used or defined therein.

 

2.                                  GRANT OF LIEN.

 

(a)                             As security for
the Grantor Obligations, the Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and lien on
all of the following property and assets of the Grantor, whether now owned or
existing or hereafter acquired or arising, regardless of where located, :

 

(i)                                     all Liquidity
Collateral and Shared Collateral, owned, either directly or indirectly by the
Grantor.

 

All
of the foregoing, and all other property of the Grantor in which the Agent, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, or any Secured Party may at any time be
granted a Lien as collateral for the Grantor Obligations, is herein
collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral”.

 

(b)                            All of the
Grantor Obligations shall be secured by all of the Collateral.

 

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in clauses (a) and (b) above, the
security interest created by this Agreement shall not extend to any interest
in, or assets of, a joint venture created after the Closing Date in accordance
with the terms of the Credit Agreement, to the extent that the grant of a
security interest therein is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default
under any organizational, joint venture or similar agreements.

 

3.                                       PERFECTION AND PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

 

(a)                                  The Grantor
shall, at its expense, perform all steps requested by the Agent at any time and
reasonably deemed necessary by the Agent to perfect, maintain, protect and
enforce the Agent’s Liens on the Collateral, including: (i) executing,
delivering and/or filing and recording of any Security Documents required to be
delivered in accordance with the Credit Agreement and filing or authorizing the
Agent to file financing or financing change statements, and amendments thereof,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) delivering
to the Agent the originals of all Instruments that are Collateral from any
single obligor having a value in excess of $250,000 and, upon the written
request of the Agent, documents and chattel paper that is, or represents
Collateral of the Grantor from any single obligor having a value in excess of
$250,000, and all other Collateral of which the Agent reasonably determines it should
have physical possession in order to perfect and protect the Agent's security
interest therein, duly pledged, endorsed or assigned to the Agent without
restriction; (iii) delivering to the Agent upon the Agent's Written request
made after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
warehouse receipts, pipeline operator receipts or receipts relating to any
facility where any Collateral is located, and for which receipts are issued and
certificates of title covering any portion of the Collateral for which
certificates of title have been issued; (iv) when an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, transferring its Inventory to warehouses,
pipelines, storage facilities or other locations designated by the Agent; (v) upon
the Agent’s written request made after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, placing notations on the Grantor’s books of
account to disclose the Agent’s security interest; (vi) obtaining control
agreements from securities intermediaries with respect to financial assets in
the possession of securities intermediaries that have a value of greater than
$1,000,000 or where such financial assets are to be included in the Borrowing
Base (vii) assigning and delivering to the Agent, upon the request of the
Agent made after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, means all supporting obligations including letters of credit and
guarantees issued in support of any Accounts that are Collateral, including
letters of credit on which the Grantor is named beneficiary with the written
consent of the issuer thereof and (viii) taking such other steps as are
deemed necessary by the Agent to maintain and protect the Agent’s Liens on the
Collateral. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Agent may (and the
Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to) file, without the Grantor’s signature,
one or more financing statements continuation statements or other documents and
amendments thereto for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing,
enforcing or protecting the Agent’s Liens on the Collateral. The Grantor hereby
authorizes the Agent to file financing or continuation statements, and amendments
thereto, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Agent may
determine (and signed only by the Agent (if necessary)), in its sole reasonable
discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted
to the Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in
the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description
of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Agent may
determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure
the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Agent
herein. The Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other
reproduction of this Security Agreement or of a financing statement is
sufficient as a financing statement.

 

(b)                            From time to
time, the Grantor shall, upon the written request of the Agent, execute and
deliver confirmatory written Instruments pledging to the Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties, the Collateral in which the Grantor has an
interest, but the Grantor’s failure to do so shall not affect or limit any
security interest or any other rights of the Agent or any Secured Party in and
to the

 

 

Collateral
with respect to the Grantor. So long as the Credit Agreement is in effect and
until all Grantor Obligations have been fully satisfied (other than
indemnification and contingent obligations not then due), the Agent’s Liens
shall continue in full force and effect in all Collateral (whether or not
deemed eligible for the purpose of calculating the Availability of a Borrower
or as the basis for any advance, loan, extension of credit or other financial
accommodation), except as any such Collateral may be released from the Liens
created hereby in accordance with the terms hereof or the Credit Agreement.

12.                            THE AGENT’S AND SECURED PARTIES’ RIGHTS, DUTIES AND LIABILITIES.

 

(a)                             The Grantor
assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use,
sale or other disposition of the Collateral. The Grantor Obligations shall not
be affected by any failure of the Agent or any Secured Party to take any steps
to perfect the Agent’s Liens or to collect or realize upon any of the Collateral,
nor shall loss of or damage to any of the Collateral release the Grantor from
any of the Grantor Obligations. Following the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may (but shall not be required
to), and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to or
consent from the Grantor, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for
payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash,
credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions,
renewals, compositions or releases, and take or omit to take any other action
with respect to any or all of the Collateral, any security therefor, any
agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable
directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without
discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of the Grantor for the Grantor
Obligations or under the Credit Agreement or any other agreement now or
hereafter existing between the Agent and/or any Secured Party and the Grantor.

 

(b)                            It is expressly
agreed by the Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Grantor shall remain liable under each of its leases, agreements, contracts
and licences (each a “Contract” and collectively, the “Contracts”) to observe and
perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it
thereunder. None of the Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation
or liability under any Contract by reason of or arising out of this Security
Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Agent or
any Secured Party of any payment relating to any Contract pursuant hereto,
except for liabilities for any acts or omissions taken pursuant to such Contracts
with willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence and except as otherwise
imposed by applicable law. None of the Agent nor any Secured Party shall be
required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the
obligations of the Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract, or to make any
payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any
payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under
any Contract, or to present or file

 

 

any
claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the
payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.

 

(c)                                  The Agent may
at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
without prior notice to the Grantor, notify Account Debtors, parties to the
Contracts of the Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments and Chattel
Paper that is, or represents Collateral of the Grantor, that the Accounts of
the Grantor and the right, title and interest of the Grantor in and under such
Contracts, Instruments and Chattel Paper that, in each case, is, or represents
Collateral have been assigned to the Agent, and that payments shall be made
directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon the written
request of the Agent at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors, parties to Contracts
of the Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments and Chattel Paper that
is, or represents Collateral of the Grantor.

 

13.                            INDEMNIFICATION. In any suit,
proceeding or action brought by the Agent or any Secured Party relating to any
Account, document, or Chattel Paper that is, or represents Collateral, a
Contract, or an Instrument of a Grantor for any sum owing thereunder or to
enforce any provision of any Account, Chattel Paper, or document that is, or
represents Collateral, a Contract, or an Instrument of a Grantor, the Grantor,
to the extent required pursuant to Section 14.11 of the Credit Agreement,
will save, indemnify and keep the Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from
and against all expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses),
loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder,
arising out of a breach by the Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising
out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or
in favour of, such obligor or its successors from the Grantor, except in the
case of the Agent or any Secured Party, to the extent such expense, loss or
damage is attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction. All such obligations of the Grantor shall be and remain
enforceable against and only against the Grantor and shall not be enforceable
against the Agent or any Secured Party. The Grantor assumes all responsibility
and liability arising from the use of the Collateral in which the Grantor
granted a security interest hereunder in favour of the Agent, and the Grantor
hereby agrees, to the extent required pursuant to Section 14.11 of the
Credit Agreement, to indemnify and hold the Agent and the Secured Parties
harmless from and against any claim, suit, loss, damage or reasonable expense
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any alleged defect in any
product manufactured, promoted or sold by the Grantor (or any Affiliate or
Subsidiary thereof) in connection with any Collateral of the Grantor or out of
the manufacture, promotion, labelling, sale or advertisement of any such
product by the Grantor (or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof), except in the
case of the Agent or any Secured Party, to the extent such defect is
attributable to the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or material breach of
this Agreement by the Agent or such Secured Party, as finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. The Grantor agrees that the Agent and the
Secured Parties do not assume, and shall have no responsibility for, the
payment of any sums due or to become due under any agreement or contract
included in the Collateral in which the Grantor has granted a security interest
hereunder in favour of the Agent or the performance of any obligations to be
performed under or with respect to any such agreement or contract by the
Grantor, and the Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Agent and each
Secured Party harmless with respect to any and all claims by any Person
relating thereto all to the extent required pursuant to Section 14.11 of
the Credit Agreement.

 

14.                            LIMITATION ON LIENS ON COLLATERAL.  The Grantor will not create, permit or suffer to exist, and will take
such other action as is reasonably necessary to remove, any Lien on such
Collateral except Permitted Liens.

 

 

15.                            REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.

 

(a)                             In addition to
all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the
Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or
agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Grantor Obligations,
if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may
exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor expressly agrees that if
any Event of Default have occurred and be continuing, the Agent, without demand
of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the
notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon
the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements
and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the
PPSA and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of the
Grantor where any Collateral is located through self help, without judicial
process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving the Grantor or any
other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Agent’s claim or
action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize
upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease,
assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of
and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one
or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such
prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent or any Secured Party shall
have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted
by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any
right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption the Grantor hereby
releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or
without notice. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent
shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Grantor’s premises or
elsewhere and, in connection with such sales, shall have the right to use the
Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as the Agent deems
necessary or advisable.

 

(b)                            The Grantor
further agrees, at the Agent’s request only after an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, to assemble, or to direct the Collateral in which
it has granted a security interest hereunder to the Agent and make it available
to the Agent at places which the Agent shall select, whether at the Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere. Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease or other
disposition of the Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use
the Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate
for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other
purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent. The Agent shall have no obligation to
the Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of the Grantor as against third
parties with respect to the Collateral in which it granted a security interest
hereunder to the Agent while such Collateral is in the possession of the Agent.
The Agent may, if the Agent so elects, appoint a receiver or a receiver and
manager (both of which are herein called a “Receiver”) to take
possession of any of the Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent’s remedies
(for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment
without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Any such Receiver is
hereby given and shall have the same powers and rights and exclusions and
limitations of liability as the Agent has under this Security Agreement, at law
or in equity. In exercising any such powers, any such Receiver shall, to the
extent permitted by law, act as and for all purposes shall be deemed to be the
agent of the Grantor and the Agent shall not be responsible for any act or
default of any such Receiver. The Agent may appoint one or more Receivers
hereunder and may remove any such Receiver or Receivers and appoint another or others in his
or their stead from time to time. Any Receiver so appointed may be an officer
or employee of the Agent. A court need not appoint, ratify the appointment by
the Agent of or otherwise supervise in any manner the actions of any Receiver.
After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and upon the Grantor
receiving notice from the Agent of the taking of possession of the Collateral
or the appointment of a Receiver, all powers, functions, rights and privileges
of each of the directors and officers of the Agent with respect to the
Collateral shall cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of
the Agent. After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and upon
the exercise of remedies pursuant hereto, the Agent shall apply the net
proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization
or sale to the Grantor Obligations as provided in the Credit

 

 

Agreement,
and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the
Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, shall the Agent be
required to account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. After an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands against the
Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale
of any of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof except such as
arise solely out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of
the Agent or such Secured Party as determined by a final decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction. The Grantor agrees that fifteen (15) days prior notice
by the Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after
which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters.
The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale
or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all of the Grantor
Obligations, including any reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred by
the Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency, in each case, to the
extent required by the Credit Agreement.

 

(c)                             Except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, the Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand,
protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and
except as otherwise required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement) of any
kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral. Without
limiting any of the foregoing, the Grantor, to the maximum extent not
prohibited by applicable law, hereby (i) agrees that it will not invoke,
claim or assert the benefit of any rule of law or statute now or hereafter
in effect (including, without limitation, any right to prior notice or judicial
hearing in connection with the Agent’s possession, custody or disposition of any
Collateral or any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or
redemption law), or take or omit to take any other action, that would or could
reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impeding or preventing
the exercise of any rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, the
absolute sale of any of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any
purchaser at any sale thereof, and waives the benefit of all such laws and
further agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power granted hereunder to the Agent, but that it will permit the execution of
every such power as though no such laws were in effect, except that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph “(i)” the parties
hereto agree that prior to an Event of Default that is continuing, the Grantor
is permitted to deal with the Collateral in the ordinary course of business of
the Grantor, (ii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of
law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted to require the Agent to
marshal any Collateral or other assets in favour of the Grantor or any other
party or against or in payment of any or all of the Grantor Obligations, and (iii) waives
all rights that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter adopted to require the Agent to pursue any third party
for any of the Grantor Obligations.

 

(d)                            Without
limiting the foregoing, the Grantor further agrees, upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may (without assuming any
obligations or liability thereunder, at any time, enforce (and shall have the
exclusive right to enforce) against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and
remedies of the Grantor in, to and under any one or more licence agreements
with respect to the Collateral in which the Grantor has granted a security
interest hereunder in favour of the Agent, and take or refrain from taking any
action under any thereof, and the Grantor hereby releases the Agent and each
Secured Party from, and agrees to hold the Agent and each Secured Party free
and harmless from and against any claims arising out of, any action taken or
omitted to be taken with respect to any such licence agreement.

 

(e)                             In the event of
any licence, assignment, sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any of
it, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Grantor shall supply (without payment of royalty or other compensation to the
Grantor) its know-how and expertise relating to the manufacture and sale of the
products bearing or in connection with the Proprietary Rights of the Grantor,
and its customer lists and other records relating to the Proprietary Rights of
the Grantor and to

 

 

the
distribution of said products, to the Agent or its designee in each case,
unless directed to do otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement.

 

16.                            GRANT OF LICENCE TO USE PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Unless directed to do otherwise pursuant to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, solely for the purpose of enabling the Agent to
exercise rights and remedies under Section 16 hereof (including,
without limiting the terms of Section 16 hereof, in order to take
possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for
sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as the Agent shall
be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies after an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, but without limiting the provisions of Section 15
hereof, the Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive licence (exercisable without payment of
royalty or other compensation to the Grantor) to use any Proprietary Rights now
owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor, and wherever the same may be
located, and including in such licence reasonable access to all media in which
any of the Proprietary Rights may be recorded or stored and to all computer
software and programs used for the compilation or printout of such Proprietary
Rights, subject to any rights of third parties in such Proprietary Rights and,
subject, in the case of trademarks and any property of similar nature, to
sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favour of the Grantor
required under applicable law to avoid risk of invalidation of said trademarks
and property of similar nature.

 

17.                            LIMITATION ON AGENT’S AND SECURED PARTIES’ DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL. The Agent and Secured Parties shall act in good faith and in a
commercially reasonable manner with respect to the care of the Collateral in
its possession or under its control. Neither the Agent nor any Secured Party
shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or
in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Agent or such
Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

 

18.                            MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)                             Reinstatement. This Security
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to Section 18(f) hereof,
and shall be reinstated and continue to be effective should any petition be
filed by or against the Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should the
Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor
or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of the Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of
the Grantor Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law,
rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by
any obligee of the Grantor Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent
conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not
been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned, the Grantor Obligations shall be reinstated and
deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored
or returned.

 

(b)                            Notices. Except as otherwise
provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand,
request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be
given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any
of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication
with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request,
consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and
shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the
Credit Agreement.

 

(c)                             Severability. Whenever
possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such

 

 

provision
or the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement
is to be read, construed and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete
understanding and agreement of the Agent, the Secured Parties and the Grantor
with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.

 

(d)                            No  Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. None of the Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act, delay,
omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Agent
and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar
to any right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have had on any future
occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the
Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No notice to or
demand upon the Grantor in any case shall entitle the Grantor to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the right of the Agent to exercise any right or remedy or take any
other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The
rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised
singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies
provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may

duly executed by the Agent and the Grantor.

 

(e)                             Limitation by Law. All rights,
remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only
to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable
provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are
intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may
be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not
render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or
not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any
applicable law.

 

(f)                               Termination of this Security Agreement. Subject to Section 18(a) hereof, this Security

Agreement in and upon the Collateral shall be automatically released) upon the
payment and performance in full in cash (where it is possible for such
obligations to be satisfied in cash) of all Grantor Obligations and the
cancellation and return of all Letters of Credit (or, to the extent not so
cancelled and returned, the deposit with the Agent of the Supporting Letters of

representation or warranty, such of the Collateral as may then be in the
possession of the Agent; provided, however, that in connection with the
termination of this Security Agreement and the release and termination of the
security interests in the Collateral, the Agent may require such indemnities as
it shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Agent and the
Secured Parties against loss on account of credits previously applied to the
Grantor Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked.
Notwithstanding anything in this Security Agreement to the contrary, upon any
sale, transfer (including without limitation, by merger or consolidation) or
other disposition by the Grantor of any Collateral in a transaction expressly
permitted under the Credit Agreement and the receipt by the Agent of the Net
Proceeds of such sale or other disposition as required by the Credit Agreement,
the Lien and security interest created by this Security Agreement in and upon
such Collateral shall be automatically released, and in connection with any
such release, the Agent, at the request and expense of the Grantor, will
promptly authorize, execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents and
instruments evidencing such release or termination as Grantor may reasonably
request and

 

 

will
assign, transfer and deliver to the Grantor, without recourse and without
representation or warranty, such of the Collateral so being released as may
then be in the possession of the Agent.

 

(g)                            Successors and Assigns. This Security
Agreement and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon

on behalf of the Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of
the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder, inure to the

Parties, hereunder. The Grantor may not assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement except as
permitted pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which
shall collectively and separately constitute one and the same agreement.

(n)                            Security in Addition. The security
interest hereby constituted is not in substitution for any other security
interests securing the Grantor Obligations or for any other agreement between
the parties creating a security interest in all or part of the Collateral,
whether heretofore or hereafter made, and such security and such agreements
shall be deemed to be continued and not affected hereby.

 

(o)                            Security Interest Effective Immediately. The parties intend the security interest created hereby to attach and

19.                            JUDGMENT CURRENCY. If for the
purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount
due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”)
into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange
applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures,
the Agent could purchase in the Toronto, Ontario foreign exchange market, the
Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business
Days preceding that on which judgment is given. The Grantor agrees that its
obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall,
notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged
only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Agent
receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second
Currency, the Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures,
purchase, in the Toronto, Ontario foreign exchange market,

 

 

the
Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the
amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is
less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, the Grantor
agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or
judgment to indemnify the Agent against such loss. The term “rate of exchange”
in this Section 19 means the spot rate at which the Agent, in accordance
with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original
Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange
payable in connection with such purchase.

 

20.                            PRECEDENCE. In the event
that any provisions of this Security Agreement contradict and are otherwise
incapable of being construed in conjunction with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement, the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall take precedence over
those contained in this Security Agreement.

 

21.                            INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.
Notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Agent’s rights
under the Loan Documents may be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no
action taken or not taken by the Agent or any Secured Party in accordance with
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to
constitute, a waiver by the Agent or any Secured Party of any rights they have
with respect to any Grantor under any Loan Document and except as specified
herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to
modify any of the provisions of this Security Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, which, as among the Grantors, the Agent and the Secured Parties

hereafter existing between the Agent and/or any Secured Party and any Grantor.

 

(b)           It is expressly
agreed by each Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,

contracts and licenses (each a “Contract” and
collectively, the “Contracts”) to observe and perform all
the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder.
None of the Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability
under any Contract by reason of or arising out of this Security

Party of any payment relating to any Contract pursuant hereto, except for
liabilities for any acts or omissions taken pursuant to such Contracts with
willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence and except as otherwise
imposed by applicable law. None of the Agent nor any Secured Party shall be
required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the
obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract, or to make any
payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any
payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under
any Contract, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to
collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have
been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

is, or represents Collateral of the any Grantor, that the Accounts of any
Grantor and the right, title and interest of any Grantor in and under such
Contracts, Instruments and Chattel Paper that, in each case, is, or represents

directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon the written
request of the Agent at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, each Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors, parties to Contracts
of such Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments and Chattel Paper that
is, or represents Collateral of such Grantor.

 

13.           INDEMNIFICATION.
In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Agent or any Secured Party
relating to any Account, document, or Chattel Paper that is, or represents

thereunder or to enforce any provision of any Account, Chattel Paper, or
document that is, or represents Collateral, a Contract, or an Instrument of a
Grantor, such Grantor, to the extent required pursuant to Section 14.11 of
the Credit Agreement, will save, indemnify and keep the Agent and the Secured
Parties harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor
thereunder, arising out of a breach by such Grantor of any obligation
thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at
any time owing to, or in favour of, such obligor or its successors from such
Grantor, except in the case of the Agent or any Secured Party, to the extent
such expense, loss or damage is attributable to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of such Grantor shall be and
remain enforceable against and only against such Grantor and shall not be
enforceable against the Agent or any Secured Party. Each Grantor assumes all
responsibility and liability arising from the use of the Collateral in which
such Grantor granted a security interest hereunder in favour of the Agent, and
each Grantor hereby agrees, to the extent required pursuant to Section 14.11
of the Credit Agreement, to indemnify and hold the Agent and the Secured
Parties harmless from and against any claim, suit, loss, damage or reasonable
expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any alleged
defect in any product manufactured, promoted or sold by such Grantor (or any
Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) in connection with any Collateral of such
Grantor or out of the manufacture, promotion, labelling, sale or advertisement
of any such product by such Grantor (or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof),
except in the case of the Agent or any Secured Party, to the extent such defect
is attributable to the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or material breach
of this Agreement by the Agent or such Secured Party, as finally determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that the Agent and the
Secured Parties do not assume, and shall have no responsibility for, the
payment of any sums due or to become due under any agreement or contract
included in the Collateral in which any Grantor has granted a security interest
hereunder in favour of the Agent or the performance of any obligations to be
performed under or with respect to any such agreement or contract by any
Grantor, and each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Agent and
each Secured Party harmless with respect to any and all claims by any Person
relating thereto all to the extent required pursuant to Section 14.11 of
the Credit Agreement.

 

 

14.           LIMITATION
ON LIENS ON COLLATERAL. Each Grantor will not
create, permit or suffer to exist, and will take such other action as is
reasonably necessary to remove, any Lien on such Collateral except Permitted
Liens.

 

15.         REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.

 

(a)           In
addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security
Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other
instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Grantor
Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that if
any Event of Default have occurred and be continuing, the Agent, without demand
of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the
notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon
any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements
and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the
PPSA and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of any
Grantor where any Collateral is located through self help, without judicial
process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any
other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Agent’s claim or
action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize
upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease,
assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of
and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one
or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such
prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent or any Secured Party shall
have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted
by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any
right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby
releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or
without notice. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent
shall have the right to conduct such sales on such Grantor’s premises or
elsewhere and, in connection with such sales, shall have the right to any
Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as the Agent deems
necessary or advisable.

 

(b)           Each
Grantor further agrees, at the Agent’s request only after an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, to assemble, or to direct the Collateral in
which it has granted a security interest hereunder to the Agent and make it
available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall select, whether at such
Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Until the Agent is able to effect a sale,
lease or other disposition of the Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to
hold or use the Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems
appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for
any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent. The Agent shall have no
obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as
against third parties with respect to the Collateral in which it granted a
security interest hereunder to the Agent while such Collateral is in the
possession of the Agent. The Agent may, if the Agent so elects, appoint a
receiver or a receiver and manager (both of which are herein called a “Receiver”)
to take possession of any of the Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent’s
remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such
appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Any such
Receiver is hereby given and shall have the same powers and rights and
exclusions and limitations of liability as the Agent has under this Security
Agreement, at law or in equity. In exercising any such powers, any such Receiver
shall, to the extent permitted by law, act as and for all purposes shall be
deemed to be the agent of any Grantor and the Agent shall not be responsible
for any act or default of any such Receiver. The Agent may appoint one or more
Receivers hereunder and may remove any such Receiver or Receivers and appoint
another or others in his or their stead from time to time. Any Receiver so
appointed may be an officer or employee of the Agent. A court need not appoint,
ratify the appointment by the Agent of or otherwise supervise in any manner the
actions of any Receiver.  After an Event
of Default has occurred

 

 

and is continuing, and upon a Grantor receiving
notice from the Agent of the taking of possession of the Collateral or the
appointment of a Receiver, all powers, functions, rights and privileges of each
of the directors and officers of the Agent with respect to the Collateral shall
cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of the Agent. After
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and upon the exercise of
remedies pursuant hereto, the Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the
Grantor Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, and only after so
paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Agent of any other
amount required by any provision of law, shall the Agent be required to account
for the surplus, if any, to such Grantor or Grantors. After an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Agent or
any Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any of
the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof except such as arise solely
out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent or
such Secured Party as determined by a final decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that fifteen (15) days prior notice by the
Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a
private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Each
Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition
of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all of such Grantor Obligations,
including any reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred by the Agent or
any Secured Party to collect such deficiency, in each case, to the extent
required by the Credit Agreement.

 

(c)           Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each
Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law and except as otherwise required by
the Credit Agreement or this Agreement) of any kind in connection with this
Security Agreement or any Collateral. Without limiting any of the foregoing,
each Grantor, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, hereby
(i) agrees that it will not invoke, claim or assert the benefit of any
rule of law or statute now or hereafter in effect (including, without
limitation, any right to prior notice or judicial hearing in connection with
the Agent’s possession, custody or disposition of any Collateral or any
appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law), or take
or omit to take any other action, that would or could reasonably be expected to
have the effect of delaying, impeding or preventing the exercise of any rights
and remedies in respect of the Collateral, the absolute sale of any of the
Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale thereof, and
waives the benefit of all such laws and further agrees that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power granted hereunder to the Agent, but
that it will permit the execution of every such power as though no such laws
were in effect, except that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
paragraph “(i)” the parties hereto agree that prior to an Event of Default that
is continuing, each Grantor is permitted to deal with the Collateral in the
ordinary course of business of such Grantor, (ii) waives all rights that
it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter adopted to require the Agent to marshal any Collateral or other
assets in favour of any Grantor or any other party or against or in payment of
any or all of the Grantor Obligations, and (iii) waives all rights that it
has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
adopted to require the Agent to pursue any third party for any of the Grantor
Obligations.

 

(d)           Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor further
agrees, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Agent may (without assuming any obligations or liability thereunder), at
any time, enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to enforce) against any
licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of any Grantor in, to and under
any one or more licence agreements with respect to the Collateral in which any
Grantor has granted a security interest hereunder in favour of the Agent, and
take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and each Grantor
hereby releases the Agent and each Secured Party from, and agrees to hold the
Agent and each Secured Party free and harmless from and against any claims
arising out of, any action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to any
such licence agreement.

 

 

(e)           In the event of any licence, assignment, sale or other
disposition of the Collateral, or any of it, after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall supply (without
payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) its know-how and
expertise relating to the manufacture and sale of the products bearing or in
connection with the Proprietary Rights of any Grantor, and its customer lists
and other records relating to the Proprietary Rights of any Grantor and to the
distribution of said products, to the Agent or its designee in each case,
unless directed to do otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement.

 

16.           GRANT OF LICENCE TO
USE PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Unless directed to do otherwise pursuant
to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, solely for the purpose of enabling
the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 16 hereof
(including, without limiting the terms of Section 16 hereof, in
order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for
sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as
the Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies after
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but without limiting the
provisions of Section 15 hereof, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive licence
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor)
to use any Proprietary Rights now owned or hereafter acquired by any Grantor,
and wherever the same may be located, and including in such licence reasonable
access to all media in which any of the Proprietary Rights may be recorded or
stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or
printout of such Proprietary Rights, subject to any rights of third parties in
such Proprietary Rights and, subject, in the case of trademarks and any
property of similar nature, to sufficient rights to quality control and
inspection in favour of such Grantor required under applicable law to avoid
risk of invalidation of said trademarks and property of similar nature.

 

17.           LIMITATION ON AGENT’S
AND SECURED PARTIES’ DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL. The Agent
and Secured Parties shall act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable
manner with respect to the care of the Collateral in its possession or under
its control. Neither the Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty
as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or
control of any agent or nominee of the Agent or such Secured Party, or any
income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining thereto.

 

18.           MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)           Reinstatement.
This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until
terminated pursuant to Section 18(f) hereof, and shall be reinstated
and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against a
Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should such Grantor become insolvent
or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a
receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such
Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Grantor Obligations
of such Grantor, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded
or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee
of such Grantor Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent
conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not
been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned, such Grantor Obligations shall be reinstated and
deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored
or returned.

 

(b)           Notices. Except as otherwise provided
herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request,
consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to
or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the
parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with
respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent,
approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be
given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Credit
Agreement.

 

 

(c)           Severability. Whenever possible, each
provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security
Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
provisions of this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement is to be read,
construed and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and
agreement of the Agent, the Secured Parties and each Grantor with respect to
the matters referred to herein and therein.

 

(d)           No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. None of
the Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise
be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver
shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Agent and then only to the
extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy
hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy which the Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No
failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Agent or any
Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No notice to or demand upon
any Grantor in any case shall entitle a Grantor to any other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right
of the Agent to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further
action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The rights and remedies
hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently,
and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the
terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified
or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Agent and
each Grantor.

 

(e)           Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies
and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the
extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of
law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be
subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and
to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this
Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled
to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 

(f)            Termination of this Security Agreement. Subject
to Section 18(a) hereof, this Security Agreement shall
terminate (and the security interest created by this Security Agreement in and
upon the Collateral shall be automatically released) upon the payment and
performance in full in cash (where it is possible for such obligations to be
satisfied in cash) of all Grantor Obligations and the cancellation and return
of all Letters of Credit (or, to the extent not so cancelled and returned, the
deposit with the Agent of the Supporting Letters of Credit for, or cash
collateralization (in an amount required by the Credit Agreement) of, such
outstanding Letters of Credit (or related Credit Support) in accordance with
and as required by Section 1.3(g) of the Credit Agreement), and
termination of the Commitments and in connection with such termination, the
Agent, at the request and expense of a Grantor, will promptly authorize,
execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents and instruments evidencing
such termination as such Grantor may reasonably request and will assign,
transfer and deliver to such Grantor, without recourse and without
representation or warranty, such of the Collateral as may then be in the
possession of the Agent; provided, however, that in connection with the termination
of this Security Agreement and the release and termination of the security
interests in the Collateral, the Agent may require such indemnities as it shall
reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Agent and the Secured
Parties against loss on account of credits previously applied to the Grantor
Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked. Notwithstanding
anything in this Security Agreement to the contrary, upon any sale, transfer
(including without limitation, by merger or consolidation) or other disposition
by any Grantor of any Collateral in a transaction expressly permitted under the
Credit Agreement and the receipt by the Agent of the Net Proceeds of such sale
or other disposition as required

 

 

by the Credit Agreement, the Lien and security
interest created by this Security Agreement in and upon such Collateral shall
be automatically released, and in connection with any such release, the Agent,
at the request and expense of a Grantor, will promptly authorize, execute and
deliver to such Grantor such documents and instruments evidencing such release
or termination as such Grantor may reasonably request and will assign, transfer
and deliver to such Grantor, without recourse and without representation or
warranty, such of the Collateral so being released as may then be in the
possession of the Agent.

 

(g)          Successors and Assigns. This Security Agreement and all obligations of each Grantor
hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor
(including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and shall,
together with the rights and remedies of the Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, all
future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Grantor Obligations and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. No sales of participations,
other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement
governing or instrument evidencing the Grantor Obligations or any portion
thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted to the
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder. No Grantor may
assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation
under this Security Agreement except as permitted pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Agreement.

 

(h)          Counterparts.
This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of separate
counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one
and the same agreement.

 

(i)            Governing Law.
(x) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND
PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND
LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
PROVINCE ALBERTA; PROVIDED, THAT IF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER
THAN ALBERTA SHALL GOVERN IN REGARD TO THE VALIDITY, PERFECTION OR EFFECT OF
PERFECTION OF ANY LIEN OR IN REGARD TO PROCEDURAL MATTERS AFFECTING ENFORCEMENT
OF ANY LIENS IN COLLATERAL, SUCH LAWS OF SUCH OTHER JURISDICTIONS SHALL
CONTINUE TO APPLY TO THAT EXTENT; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT THE AGENTS AND THE
SECURED PARTIES SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER THE FEDERAL LAWS OF
CANADA.

 

(y)          ANY
LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA, AND
BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, EACH GRANTOR, THE AGENT
AND THE SECURED PARTIES CONSENT, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO
THE NON EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH GRANTOR, THE AGENT AND THE
SECURED PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN
SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED
HERETO. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING: (1) THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS
SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY
OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENTS OR THE
LENDERS DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR
OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS AND (2) EACH GRANTOR AND THE SECURED
PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THE COURTS DESCRIBED IN THE
IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED
OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.

 

 

(j)            Waiver
of Jury Trial. EACH OF EACH OF THE
GRANTORS, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY
JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION
OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT
RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS,
TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENTS
AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL
WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS
SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN
WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS
WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

(k)           Section Titles.
The Section titles contained in this Security Agreement are and shall
be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a
part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

 

(l)            No Strict
Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in
the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement. In the event an
ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any party
by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.

 

(m)          Benefit of Secured
Parties. All Liens granted to the Agent or contemplated hereby
shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and all proceeds or payments
realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Grantor
Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

(n)           Security in Addition.
The security interest hereby constituted is not in substitution for any
other security interests securing the Grantor Obligations or for any other
agreement between the parties creating a security interest in all or part of
the Collateral, whether heretofore or hereafter made, and such security and
such agreements shall be deemed to be continued and not affected hereby.

 

(o)           Security Interest
Effective Immediately. The parties intend the security interest
created hereby to attach and take effect forthwith upon execution of this
Security Agreement by each Grantor and each Grantor acknowledges that value has
been given and that each Grantor has rights in the Collateral.

 

(p)           Receipt of Copy.    Each Grantor acknowledges receipt of an
executed copy of this Security Agreement.

 

19.           JUDGMENT CURRENCY.  If for the purpose
of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due
hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”)
into another currency (the “Second Currency”‘), the rate of exchange
applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures,
the Agent could purchase in the Toronto, Ontario foreign exchange market, the
Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business
Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Grantor agrees that its
obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall,
notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged
only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Agent
receives

 

 

payment
of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Agent
may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the Toronto,
Ontario foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the
Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so
purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally
due in the Original Currency, each Grantor agrees as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Agent against
such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 19 means the spot
rate at which the Agent, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the
relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and
includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such
purchase.

 

20.           PRECEDENCE.
In the event that any provisions of this Security Agreement contradict and
are otherwise incapable of being construed in conjunction with the provisions
of the Credit Agreement, the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall take
precedence over those contained in this Security Agreement.

 

21.           INTERCREDITOR
AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain
of the Agent’s rights under the Loan Documents may be subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Agent or any
Secured Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall
constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Agent or any Secured
Party of any rights they have with respect to any Grantor under any Loan
Document and except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor
Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Security
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the Grantors, the Agent
and the Secured Parties shall remain in full force and effect.
