(a) Uncertificated Securities. Each Grantor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged Collateral are uncertificated securities, and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, and are not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each

- 11 -

applicable Grantor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, if necessary or desirable to perfect a Lien in such Pledged Collateral, either (i) cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the pledge and give the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, the agent, trustee or other representative of the holders of any Domestic Priority Debt) the right to transfer such Pledged Collateral under the terms hereof, or (ii) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, the agent, trustee or other representative of the holders of any Domestic Priority Debt)as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee or (iii) promptly deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, the agent, trustee or other representative of the holders of any Domestic Priority Debt) such documents, agreements and other material as may be necessary or advisable from time to time to provide the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, the agent, trustee or other representative of the holders of any Domestic Priority Debt) with control over such uncertificated Pledged Collateral in the manner provided under section 24 of the STA (and, for purposes of section 27(1) of the STA, this Canadian Security Agreement shall constitute Grantor’s irrevocable consent to entry into an agreement of the kind referred to in clause 24(1)(b) of the STA).

(b) Partnership and Limited Liability Company Interests. If any Grantor has or hereafter acquires Collateral consisting of an interest in a partnership or limited liability company, it shall take all steps necessary, in the opinion of the Notes Collateral Agent to ensure that such property is and remains a security for the purposes of the STA.

Section 4.6 Pledged Collateral.

(a) Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, its non-fiduciary agent, designee or bailee), on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, shall hold certificated Pledged Collateral in the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, its non-fiduciary agent, designee or bailee). Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will promptly give to the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, its non-fiduciary agent, designee or bailee) copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Collateral registered in the name of such Grantor. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to the applicable Grantor, the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, its non-fiduciary agent, designee or bailee) shall at all times have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Collateral for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Canadian Security Agreement. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no liability for the actions or omissions of any such non-fiduciary agent, designee or bailee referred to above.

- 12 -

(b) Exercise of Rights in Pledged Collateral. Subject, in each case, to the Intercreditor Agreement,

(i) Without in any way limiting the foregoing and subject to clause (ii) below, each Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral for any purpose not prohibited by this Canadian Security Agreement, the Indenture or any other Note Document; provided, however, that no vote or other right shall be exercised or action taken that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially and adversely impairing the rights of the Notes Collateral Agent in respect of the Pledged Collateral.

(ii) Each Grantor will permit the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, its non-fiduciary agent, designee or bailee) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to the applicable Grantor, to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any Equity Interest or Investment Property constituting Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, at any time that an Event of Default is no longer continuing and the Issuer has notified the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, its non-fiduciary agent, designee or bailee) that such Event of Default is no longer continuing, any rights vested in the Notes Collateral Agent (and/or its non-fiduciary agent, designee or bailee) pursuant to this Section 4.6(b)(ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default shall cease to be vested in the Notes Collateral Agent (and/or its non-fiduciary agent, designee or bailee) and shall instead be vested in the applicable Grantor, as set forth in Section 4.6(b)(i).

(iii) Subject to Section 5.1(a)(5), each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the other Note Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, any non-cash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Collateral or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, its non-fiduciary agent, designee or bailee) in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or instrument of assignment).

Section 4.7 Intellectual Property.

(a) Subject to clause (c) and (d) of Section 3.1, the Agreed Security Principles and the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the reasonable request of the Notes Collateral Agent, each Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent of any License held by such Grantor in order to enforce the security interests granted hereunder.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) In the event that any Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, files an application for the registration of (or otherwise becomes the owner of) any Patent, Trademark, Industrial Design or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or becomes an exclusive licensee of a registered Copyright, such Grantor will, concurrently with any delivery of financial statements pursuant to Sections 4.03(a)(i) and 4.03(a)(ii) of the Indenture, provide the Notes Collateral Agent written notice thereof, and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, Agreed Security Principles and clauses (c) and (d) of Section 3.1 hereof, such Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver any and all supplemental Canadian Intellectual Property Security Agreements or other instruments as are necessaryto evidence the Notes Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Patent, Trademark, Industrial Design or Copyright or exclusive license of registered Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, at any time prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, no Grantor shall be required to execute and deliver any supplemental Intellectual Property Security Agreements or other instruments to evidence the Notes Collateral Agent’s security interest in any Patent, Trademark or Copyright or exclusive license of registered Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby, unless such Grantor has taken, or is required to take, a comparable action to evidence the security interest of each ABL Collateral Agent created by the ABL Debt Documents in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright or exclusive license of registered Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby, as applicable.

Section 4.8 Commercial Claims. Subject to the Agreed Security Principles and clauses (c) and (d) of Section 3.1 hereof, each Grantor shall promptly notify the Notes Collateral Agent of any litigation claims for which such Grantor has filed complaint(s) in court(s) of competent jurisdiction and, unless the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, the agent, trustee or other representative of the holders of any Domestic Priority Debt) otherwise consents, such Grantor shall update Schedule 7 hereto, thereby granting to the Notes Collateral Agent a security interest in such litigation claim(s) (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement). The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply (i) to the extent that the amount of such litigation claim does not exceed (x) prior to the discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, the threshold amount at which

- 14 -

notification to each ABL Collateral Agent is required pursuant to the ABL Debt Documents and (y) upon and after discharge in full of all Domestic Priority Debt, $2,500,000, in either case, held by each Grantor or (ii) to the extent such Grantor shall have previously notified the Notes Collateral Agent with respect to any previously held or acquired litigation claim.

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

Section 5.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to the Company:

(a) the Notes Collateral Agent may (and at the direction of Holders of the Notes in accordance with and subject to the Indenture, shall) exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(1) those rights and remedies provided in this Canadian Security Agreement, the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Note Document; provided that this Section 5.1(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights available to the Notes Collateral Agent and the Notes Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;

(2) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the PPSA or STA (whether or not the PPSA or STA applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ Lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

(3) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any control or similar agreement and take any action provided therein with respect to the applicable Collateral;

(4) enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help, and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Notes Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable;

(5) after written notice to the Grantors, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive

- 15 -

all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Notes Collateral Agent was the outright owner thereof; and

(6) appoint by instrument in writing a receiver (which term as used in this Agreement includes an interim receiver, receiver-manager and a receiver and manager) or agent of all or any part of the Collateral and removing or replacing from time to time any receiver or agent, and/or institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of all or any part of the Collateral. Any receiver appointed by the Notes Collateral Agent shall be vested with all rights and remedies which could have been exercised by the Notes Collateral Agent in respect of the Grantors 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 are within the sole and unfettered discretion of the Notes Collateral Agent. Any receiver appointed by the Notes Collateral Agent shall act as agent for the Notes Collateral Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral, but otherwise and for all other purposes (except as provided below), as agent for the Grantors. The receiver may sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of Collateral as agent for the Grantors or as agent for the Notes Collateral Agent as the Notes Collateral Agent may determine in its discretion. The Grantors agree to ratify and confirm all actions of the receiver acting as agent for such Grantor, and to release and indemnify the receiver in respect of all such actions. The Notes Collateral Agent, in appointing or refraining from appointing any receiver, shall not incur any liability to the receiver, the Grantors or otherwise and is not responsible for any misconduct or negligence of such receiver. All expenses, costs and charges incurred by or on behalf of the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with the appointment of a receiver under this Canadian Security Agreement shall be borne by the Grantors, are payable on demand and shall be added to and form part of the Indenture Obligations of the Credit Parties.

(b) Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the compliance by the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, with any applicable provincial or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(c) The Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and the other Notes Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption each Grantor hereby expressly releases.

(d) Until the Notes Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or the value of the Collateral, or for any other purpose deemed appropriate

- 16 -

by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Notes Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and Notes Secured Parties) with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Notes Secured Parties shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Grantors, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Indenture Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or_remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Indenture Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

(f) Each Grantor recognizes that the Notes Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any 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, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under any applicable securities laws, even if any Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so (it being acknowledged and agreed that no Grantor shall have any obligation hereunder to do so).

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights and remedies provided in this Section 5.1 shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 5.2 Grantors’ Obligations Upon Default. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the written request of the Notes Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:

(a) assemble and make available to the Notes Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places reasonably specified by the Notes Collateral Agent, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere; and

(b) permit the Notes Collateral Agent, by the Notes Collateral Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy.

Section 5.3 Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Notes Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article V upon

- 17 -

the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to the Company, at such time as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby (a) grants to the Notes Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and the other Notes Secured Parties, an irrevocable nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks; and provided, further, that the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no greater rights than those of any such Grantor under such license or sublicense; and (b) irrevocably agrees that, at any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to the Company, the Notes Collateral Agent may sell any Grantor’s Inventory directly to any Person, including without limitation Persons who have previously purchased any Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Notes Collateral Agent’s rights under this Canadian Security Agreement, may (subject to any restrictions contained in applicable third party licenses entered into by a Grantor) sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to any Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Notes Collateral Agent may finish any work in process and affix any relevant Trademark owned by or licensed to any Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein. The use of the license granted pursuant to clause (a) of the preceding sentence by the Notes Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Notes Collateral Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to the Company and shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement; provided, however, that any permitted license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 7.1 Waivers. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article VIII, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the

- 20 -

time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Notes Collateral Agent or any other Notes Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral (after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to the Company), except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Notes Collateral Agent or such other Notes Secured Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Notes Collateral Agent or any other Notes Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral (after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to the Company), made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Canadian Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Canadian Security Agreement or any Collateral.

Section 7.2 Limitation on Notes Collateral Agent’s and Notes Secured Party’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Notes Collateral Agent and each other Notes Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control; provided that the Notes Collateral Agent and each Notes Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Notes Collateral Agent or such Notes Secured Party, as applicable, accords its own property, consisting of similar type assets. Neither the Notes Collateral Agent, nor any other Notes 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 Notes Collateral Agent or such other Notes Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Notes Collateral Agent to exercise remedies, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to the Company, in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it would be commercially reasonable for the Notes Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general

- 21 -

circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as a Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements at the Grantors’ cost to insure the Notes Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Notes Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Notes Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Notes Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Notes Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Notes Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and that other actions or omissions by the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Notes Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Canadian Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.2.

Section 7.3 Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor and the Notes Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Notes Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Notes Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Notes Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

Section 7.4 Notes Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to the Company, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay under this Canadian Security Agreement and such Grantor shall reimburse the Notes Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7.4. Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Indenture Obligation payable on demand.

Section 7.5 No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay by the Notes Collateral Agent or any other Notes Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Notes Collateral Agent and the other Notes Secured Party hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Canadian Security Agreement or consent to any departure by any Notes Secured Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Notes Collateral Agent and, if required by the Indenture, with the concurrence or at the direction of the Holders required under Article 9 of the Indenture, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

Section 7.6 Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Canadian Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable law, and all the provisions of this Canadian Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Canadian Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. If any provision of this Canadian Security Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Canadian Security Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.7 Reinstatement. This Canadian Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any 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 Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Section 7.8 Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Canadian Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Grantor, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Notes Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including all Persons who become bound as a debtor to this Canadian Security Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its

- 23 -

obligations under this Canadian Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Notes Collateral Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Indenture Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Notes Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and the Notes Secured Parties, hereunder.

Section 7.9 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of each Grantor contained in this Canadian Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Canadian Security Agreement.

Section 7.10 Taxes and Expenses. To the extent required by Section 13.11(n) of the Indenture, or otherwise, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to (i) pay any taxes payable or ruled payable by Federal or Provincial or municipal authority in respect of this Canadian Security Agreement, together with interest and penalties, if any, and (ii) reimburse the Notes Collateral Agent for any and all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Canadian Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by any Grantor in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by such Grantor.

Section 7.11 Additional Grantors. Each Grantor shall cause any Canadian Subsidiary that is required to become a party to the Collateral Documents pursuant to Section 4.15 of the Indenture to enter into this Canadian Security Agreement as a Subsidiary Grantor in accordance with Section 4.15 of the Indenture. Upon execution and delivery by the Notes Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Exhibit B hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Credit Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Credit Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Credit Party as a party to this Canadian Security Agreement.

Section 7.12 Headings. The headings of the several Sections and subsections of this Canadian Security Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Canadian Security Agreement.

Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Notes Collateral Agent or any other Notes Secured Party. The Issuer shall reimburse the Notes Collateral Agent upon demand for all reasonable and documented costs and out of pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 7.13.

Section 7.14 Entire Agreement.

EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
