authorize, execute and deliver any such amendment, supplement or replacement (i) to reflect
any changes in such laws, whether arising as a result of statutory amendments, court decisions

prepare and provide the Holder (or any agent of the Holder) with such documentation and
analysis, including, without limitation, the delivery of copies, electronic or otherwise, of

without the Holder’s prior written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the
Secured Property, except that inventory may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of,
equipment may be replaced that is obsolete or requires replacement and accounts may be
collected. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all
proceeds of the Secured Property (including all amounts received in respect of accounts
receivable), whether or not arising in the ordinary course of the Corporation’s business,
will, subject to the rights of the lead banker to the Corporation pursuant to the M&T
Indebtedness, be received by the Corporation as trustee and agent of the Holder and will be
immediately paid over to the Holder.

that is or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of the
Secured Property, or (iii) any material loss of or damage to any of the Secured Property. The

hereof of (i) any change in the location of the chief executive office of the Corporation,

	(24)	 	Limitations on Modifications, Waivers, Extensions. Other than in the ordinary course of
business, the Parent and the Corporation will not and will cause the
Subsidiaries not to (i) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any permit,
contract or any agreement giving rise to an account owing to the Corporation or a

adverse to the Corporation or the Holder or (ii) fail to exercise promptly and diligently
its rights under each permit, contract and agreement giving rise to an account owing to the
Corporation or a Subsidiaries if such failure is or could reasonably be expected to be
materially adverse to the Corporation or a Subsidiaries or the Holder.

	(25)	 	Quebec Assets. The Parent and the Corporation agree (i) to notify the Holder promptly if
and when the total value of the assets in Quebec owned by the Parent, the Corporation or any
Subsidiary, in the aggregate, exceeds $200,000 (the “Threshold”); and (ii) the Parent or the

Section 11.6 No Set-Off

any part of the Obligations or any other amount due to the Holder in respect of the
Corporation’s obligations under this Debenture in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into
another currency (the “Other Currency”), the Corporation, to the fullest extent that it may
effectively do so, agrees that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance
with normal banking procedures, the Holder could purchase the Original Currency with the Other
Currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is paid or satisfied.

	(2)	 	The obligations of the Corporation in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency
from it to the Holder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged
only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Holder, of any sum
adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency the Holder may, in accordance with its normal
banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of
the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Holder in the
Original Currency, the Corporation agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any
such judgment, to indemnify the Holder against such loss, and if the amount of the Original
Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Secured Creditor in the Original
Currency, the Holder agrees to remit such excess to the Corporation.

Section 11.8 Permitted Encumbrance

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Debenture, the parties confirm their intent that
