Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral free from any right or equity of redemption.  The Collateral Agent is authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with any sale of Collateral as it may be advised by counsel is necessary or desirable in order to (i) avoid any violation of Applicable Law or (ii) obtain any required governmental approval of the sale or purchase, and a Guarantor agrees that such compliance shall not result in such purchase or sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or accountable to a Guarantor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is disposed of in compliance with any such limitation or restriction; and

	
 
	
(g)
	
to take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (5), inclusive, of section 9-607(a) of the UCC.

	
3.3
	
Decree for Specific Performance

If so requested by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3.2, a Guarantor shall, at its own expense, assemble and deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent.  Each Guarantor’s obligation to assemble and deliver Collateral to the Collateral Agent upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default is of the essence of this Agreement and, accordingly, upon application to a court having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by a Guarantor of such obligation.

	
3.4
	
Additional Remedies:  Accounts Receivable

	
 
	
(a)
	
In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent so directs a Guarantor, that Guarantor shall (i) cause all payments on account of the Accounts Receivable and Contracts to be made directly to such account as the Collateral Agent shall instruct in writing, (ii) deliver all tangible evidence of its Accounts Receivable and Contracts and related books and records to the Collateral Agent or its representatives; (iii) permit the Collateral Agent, at its option, to directly notify any or all Account Debtors to make payments directly 

CAN_DMS: \132147718\7

to the Collateral Agent or as it may otherwise direct, (iv) legend, in form and manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Accounts Receivable and the Contracts, as well as books, records and documents (if any) of a Guarantor evidencing or pertaining to such Accounts Receivable and Contracts with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts Receivable and Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent, for and of behalf of the Lender, has a security interest therein, and (v) permit the Collateral Agent to enforce collection of any such Accounts Receivable and Contracts and adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as a Guarantor.

	
 
	
(b)
	
The costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), whether incurred by a Guarantor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the Guarantor.  The Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to in Section 3.4(a) to the Guarantor, provided that the failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify the Guarantor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.4(a) and no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type described in subsection [(j) of the Event of Default section of] the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

	
3.5
	
Additional Remedies:  Intellectual Property

In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall also be entitled but shall not be obligated with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, to (a) cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any or all such Collateral by a Guarantor to the Collateral Agent or otherwise declare the right, title and interest of a Guarantor in and to such Collateral to be vested in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lender, (b) license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine, (c) from time to time, in its sole discretion, enforce against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of a Guarantor in, to and under any such Collateral and take or refrain from taking any action under any such license or sublicense, (d) take and use or practice or sell the Intellectual Property and the goodwill of a Guarantor’s business symbolized by the Trademarks, and (e) direct a Guarantor to refrain, in which event a Guarantor shall refrain, from practicing the Patents and using the Copyrights and Trademarks in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly.

	
3.6
	
Additional Remedies:  Pledged Collateral and Deposit Accounts

	
 
	
(a)
	
In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, without notice to a Guarantor, transfer or direct the transfer of funds from one or more Deposit Accounts, to satisfy the Obligations.

CAN_DMS: \132147718\7

 
26

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, without notice to a Guarantor, (i) transfer all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral to its name or the name of its nominee or agent, and (ii) exchange any certificates representing any Investment Property or Instruments for certificates or Instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

	
 
	
(c)
	
In addition to all other rights and remedies set out in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

	
 
	
(i)
	
automatically, in the case of an Event of Default under subsection [(j) of the Event of Default section] of the Credit Agreement and otherwise upon notice from the Collateral Agent to a Guarantor, all rights of a Guarantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto will cease and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent which will have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights provided that the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, permit a Guarantor to exercise such rights irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred or notice as aforesaid has been delivered; and

	
 
	
(ii)
	
automatically, in the case of an Event of Default under subsection [(j) of the Event of Default section] of the Credit Agreement and otherwise upon notice from the Collateral Agent to a Guarantor, all rights of a Guarantor to dividends, distributions, interest or principal that a Guarantor is authorized to receive pursuant to this Agreement or the Credit Agreement will cease, and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which will have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, distributions, interest and principal.

	
 
	
(d)
	
In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise its voting and other consensual rights and to receive all dividends, distributions, interest and principal that it may be entitled to receive hereunder a Guarantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

	
 
	
(e)
	
Each Guarantor understands that compliance with United States federal securities laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same.  Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky laws or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect.  Each Guarantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its 

CAN_DMS: \132147718\7

 
26

 

	
 
		
sole discretion, may (i) proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof has been filed under United States federal securities laws, and (ii) approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions.  In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent will incur no responsibility or liability for selling Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached.  The provisions of this Section 3.6(e) will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices might exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

	
3.7
	
Rights Cumulative

Each right, power and remedy of the Collateral Agent provided for in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or at law or in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy.  The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or at law or in equity shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Collateral Agent of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any Obligation shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No notice to, or demand on, a Guarantor shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action without notice or demand.  

	
3.8
	
Exercise of Rights and Remedies

	
 
	
(a)
	
In no event shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to exercise any right or remedy against any other Person obligated with respect to, or any other collateral security for, the Obligations prior to exercising its rights hereunder.

	
 
	
(b)
	
The Collateral Agent may exercise rights, powers and remedies in such order and priority as the Collateral Agent may determine in its sole discretion.

	
3.9
	
Further Dealings with Collateral by Collateral Agent

The Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral including warranties as to title or fitness for use.  The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like.  Any disposition on this basis will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale or other disposition of the Collateral.

3.10
	
Waivers by Debtor

EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR DISPOSING OF ANY OR ALL OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Guarantor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law:

3.11
	
Perpetual Bar

	
 
	
(a)
	
Any sale or other disposition (whether in the course of a realization or otherwise) of Collateral by the Collateral Agent or its representatives or agents shall operate to divest all right, title, interest and claim, either at law or in equity, of a Guarantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against a Guarantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of.

	
 
	
(b)
	
Each purchaser at any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall hold the property so sold or transferred to it absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of a Guarantor, and each Guarantor waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after any disposition, and all rights, if any, of marshaling the Collateral and all rights, if any, of stay or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law now existing or hereafter enacted.  

	
 
	
(c)
	
Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (whether by the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by the Collateral Agent of the purchase price therefor shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

Application of Proceeds

All monies or other Proceeds collected by the Collateral Agent upon any sale, collection, realization or other disposition of the Collateral, together with all other monies or Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be applied as follows:

	
 
	
(a)
	
first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of any such sale, collection, realization or other disposition, including compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any Credit Document;

	
 
	
(b)
	
second, to the payment of all remaining Obligations owed to the Lender pro rata in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then owing to each of them, or in such other proportion as the Lender may otherwise agree in their sole discretion; and

	
 
	
(c)
	
third, to the extent monies remain after their application pursuant to the preceding Sections 3.12(a) and 3.12(b), to a payment to a Guarantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such payment.

	
3.13
	
Liability for Deficiency

If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral are insufficient to pay the entire outstanding amount of the Obligations, a Guarantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any Persons employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

	
3.14
	
No Liability of Collateral Agent

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring the Collateral Agent or any of the Lender to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent or any Lender, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof.  No action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent or any Lender with respect to the Collateral will give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of a Guarantor or to any claim against the Collateral Agent or any Lender.  The provisions of this Section 3.14 shall not relieve a Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Credit Agreements, the Guarantee or the other Credit Documents with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Lender to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Lender of any other or further right that it may have, whether hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, by law or otherwise.  The Collateral Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, will be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents will be responsible to a Guarantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

CAN_DMS: \132141408\5
16
 

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
Subject to the restrictions, if any, set out in the Credit Agreement, until the Security Interest has become enforceable, the Obligors may receive and retain any dividends or distributions on the Pledged Investment Property (whether paid or distributed in cash, securities or other property). Upon the Security Interest becoming enforceable, all rights of the Obligors to receive dividends or other distributions shall cease and all such rights shall be vested solely and absolutely in the Agent.

	
 
	
(c)
	
Any dividends or distributions received by the Obligors contrary to Section 1.5(b) or any other moneys or property received by the Obligors after the Security Interest has become enforceable shall be received as trustee for the Agent and shall be immediately paid over to the Agent.

	
1.6
	
Scope of Security Interest

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

	
 
	
(i)
	
until the Security Interest has become enforceable and subject to the Credit Agreement, the Obligors may receive all such proceeds; and

	
 
	
(ii)
	
upon the Security Interest becoming enforceable, (A) all rights of the Obligors to receive proceeds shall cease and all proceeds shall be immediately paid over to the Agent, and (B) the Obligors shall take all actions requested by the Agent to collect and enforce payment and other rights arising under the Restricted Asset.

	
 
	
(b)
	
The Security Interest with respect to Collateral consisting of trademarks shall constitute a security interest in, and a charge, hypothecation and pledge of, such Collateral in favour of the Agent, but shall not constitute an assignment or mortgage of such Collateral to the Agent or any other Lender.  Until the Security Interest has become enforceable, the grant of the Security Interest in the Intellectual Property will not affect in any way the Obligors’ rights to commercially exploit it or defend or enforce the Obligors’ rights in it or with respect to it.

	
 
	
(c)
	
The Security Interest shall not extend to consumer goods.

	
 
	
(d)

1.7
	
Care and Custody of Collateral

	
 
	
(a)
	
The Agent and the Lender shall have no obligation to keep Collateral in their possession identifiable.

	
 
	
(b)
	
The Agent and the Lender shall exercise in the physical keeping of any Negotiable Collateral or Pledged Certificated Securities, only the same degree of care as they would exercise in respect of their own such property kept at the same place.

	
 
	
(c)
	
The Agent is not required to see to the collection of dividends, distributions or interest payable on, or exercise any option or right in connection with, the Collateral.  In addition, it shall have no obligation to protect or preserve the Collateral from depreciating in value or becoming worthless and is hereby released from all responsibility for any loss or diminution of value of the Collateral.

	
 
	
(d)
	
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Security Interest has become enforceable, the Agent may (i) notify any Person obligated on an account, chattel paper or instrument to make payments to the Agent whether or not the Obligors were previously making collections on such accounts, chattel paper or instruments, and (ii) assume control of any proceeds arising from the Collateral.

	
1.8
	
Absence of Fiduciary Relationship

No implied agreements, covenants or obligations on the part of the Agent or any Lender with respect to the Obligors, a securities intermediary or an issuer of any Pledged Investment Property are to be read into this security agreement against the Agent or any other Lender.  Neither the Agent nor any other Lender owes any fiduciary duty to any of the Obligors, any issuer of Pledged Investment Property, any securities intermediary or any other Person in connection with this security agreement or the Collateral.

	
1.9
	
ULC Shares

Notwithstanding anything else contained in this security agreement or any other agreement among all or some of the parties, the Obligors are and shall remain the sole registered and beneficial owners of all Collateral that consists of shares of an unlimited company, an unlimited liability company or an unlimited liability corporation incorporated pursuant to, or otherwise governed by, the laws of any province of Canada (a ULC) until such time as the shares of the ULC (the ULC Shares) are transferred to the Agent or its nominee on the books and records of the ULC.  Until then, the Obligors shall receive for their own account any dividends or other distributions in respect of ULC Shares that are Collateral and may vote such ULC Shares and control the direction, management and policies of any ULC to the same extent as it would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the Agent.  Nothing in this security agreement or any other agreement among all or some of the parties is intended to, or shall, constitute the Agent or any other Lender, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the purposes of the Companies Act (Nova Scotia), the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) or any other applicable legislation until such time as notice is given by the Agent to the Obligors and further steps are taken, at the request and direction of the 

CAN_DMS: \132141408\5
16
 

 

Agent, to register the Agent or its nominee as the holder of such ULC Shares.  If any provision of this security agreement would have the effect of constituting the Agent or any other Lender a member or shareholder of a ULC prior to such time, that provision shall be severed from this security agreement and ineffective with respect to shares of such ULC without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this security agreement as it relates to all other Collateral.

	
1.10
	
Amalgamation

If the Borrower or any of the Guarantors amalgamate with any other corporation or corporations, it is the intention of the parties that the Security Interest will (a) extend to all of the property, assets and interests that (i) any of the amalgamating corporations own, or (ii) the amalgamated corporation thereafter acquires, and (b) secure the payment and performance of all debts, liabilities and obligations of any of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation to the Agent and the Lender, however or wherever incurred and whether as principal, guarantor or surety and whether incurred prior to, at the time of, or subsequent to, the amalgamation.  The Security Interest will attach to the property, assets and interests of the amalgamating corporations not previously subject to this security agreement at the time of amalgamation and to any property, assets or interests thereafter owned or acquired by the amalgamated corporation when such property, assets and interests become owned or are acquired.  Upon any such amalgamation with the Borrower, the defined term Borrower shall include each of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation. Upon any such amalgamation with any Guarantor, the defined term Guarantors shall include each of the amalgamating corporations and the amalgamated corporation. Upon any such amalgamation, the defined term Collateral shall include all of the property, assets and interests described in (a) above, and the defined term Obligations shall include the obligations described in (b) above.

Concerning a Receiver

Any receiver appointed by the Agent shall be vested with all rights of the Agent and all of the remedies which could have been exercised by the Agent in respect of the Obligors or the Collateral and such other powers and discretions as are granted in the instrument of appointment and any supplemental instruments.  The choice of receiver and its remuneration shall be within the sole discretion of the Agent.

	
 
	
(b)
	
Any receiver appointed by the Agent shall act as agent for the 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 Obligors.  The receiver may sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of Collateral as agent for the Obligors or as agent for the Agent as the Agent may determine in its sole discretion.  The Obligors agree to ratify and confirm all actions of the receiver acting as agent for the Obligors, and to release and indemnify the receiver in respect of all such actions.

CAN_DMS: \132141408\5
16
 

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
The Agent, in appointing or refraining from appointing any receiver, shall not incur any liability to the receiver, the Obligors or any other Person and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence of such Person.

	
2.5
	
Exercise of Remedies

Any remedy may be exercised separately or in combination and is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies the Agent and the Lender may have, however created.  The Agent and the Lender are not bound to exercise any right or remedy, and the exercise of rights and remedies is without prejudice to any other rights of the Agent and the Lender in respect of the Obligations including the right to claim for any deficiency.

	
2.6
	
Dealing with Security, etc.

	
 
	
(a)
	
The Agent and the Lender are not obligated to exhaust their recourse against the Obligors or any other Person or against any other security they may hold in respect of the Obligations before realizing upon or otherwise dealing with the Collateral.

	
 
	
(b)
	
The Agent and the Lender may grant extensions or other indulgences, take and give up security, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with the Obligors and with guarantors, sureties or security as they may see fit without prejudice to the Obligations, the liabilities of the Obligors or any other Person or the rights of the Agent and the Lender in respect of the Collateral.

	
2.7
	
Dealing with Collateral

	
 
	
(a)
	
The Agent and the Lender 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, or (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.

CAN_DMS: \132141408\5
16
 

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
The Obligors acknowledge that the Agent may be unable to complete a public sale of Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in applicable securities laws.  In connection therewith, it may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favourable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, the Obligors agree that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner by reason of it being a private sale.  The Agent is under no obligation to delay a sale of any or all of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such Collateral for public sale under applicable securities law or otherwise, even if the issuer agrees to do so.

	
2.8
	
Appointment of Attorney

The Obligors irrevocably constitute and appoint the Agent (and each of its officers and directors) their true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) to do, make and execute, in the name of and on behalf of the Obligors, all such acts, documents, matters and things which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this security agreement including the execution, endorsement and delivery of documents and any notices, receipts, assignments or verifications of accounts.  This power of attorney is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any stock transfer powers of attorney delivered by the Obligors and any powers of attorney may be relied upon by the Agent severally or in combination.  All acts of the attorney are hereby ratified and approved, and the attorney shall not be liable for any act, failure to act or any other matter or thing, except to the extent caused by its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, provided that this power of attorney shall not be effective until the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing. This power of attorney is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest, has been given for valuable consideration (the receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged) and will survive, and will not terminate upon, the bankruptcy, dissolution, winding up or insolvency of any of the Obligors.  This power of attorney extends to and is binding upon the Obligors’ successors and assigns.  The Obligors authorize the Agent to (a) delegate in writing to another Person any power and authority granted under this power of attorney as may be necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Agent, and (b) revoke or suspend such delegation.

	
2.9
	
Dealings With Third Parties

2.10
