Each Pledgor agrees to provide all information described in the immediately preceding sentence to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 2.3 Financing Statements and Other Filings; Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that, as of the date such information is dated or certified, or is required to have been delivered, a copy of all financing statements, agreements, instruments and other documents necessary to perfect the security interest granted by it to the Collateral Agent in respect of the General Collateral have been delivered to the Collateral Agent as filed in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedule 7 to the Perfection Certificate or, where required, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in completed and, to the extent necessary or appropriate, duly executed form for filing in such office.

SECTION 2.4 Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the General Collateral, each Pledgor represents and warrants (as to itself) as follows and agrees, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, to take the following actions with respect to the following General Collateral:

(a) Instruments and Chattel Paper. As of the date hereof, no amounts payable under or in connection with any of the General Collateral, in the aggregate for all Pledgors in excess of $500,000, are evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper other than such Instruments and Chattel Paper listed in Schedule 11 to the Perfection Certificate.

If any amount then payable under or in connection with any of the General Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper, and such amount, together with all amounts payable evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper not previously delivered to the Collateral Agent exceeds $500,000 in the aggregate for all Pledgors and having an individual amount payable in excess of $50,000, the Pledgor acquiring such Instrument or Chattel Paper shall promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may agree in its discretion) pledge and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time specify.

(b) Deposit Accounts. As of the date hereof, no Pledgor has any Deposit Accounts other than the accounts listed in Schedule 14 to the Perfection Certificate. The Collateral Agent has a security interest in each such Deposit Account, No Pledgor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Deposit Account (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts) unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent 30 days prior written notice (or such lesser notice period as the Collateral Agent may agree to in its discretion) of its intention to establish such new Deposit

Account and such Bank and such Pledgor shall have duly executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Pledgor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any instructions directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account or withhold any withdrawal rights from such Pledgor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Specified Event of Default, once the Collateral Agent sends an instruction or notice to a Bank exercising its control over any Deposit Account such Pledgor shall not give any instructions or orders with respect to such Deposit Account, including, without limitation, instructions for distribution or transfer of any funds in such Deposit Account. No Pledgor shall authorize or instruct a Bank to comply with instructions originated by any person other than the Collateral Agent directing disposition of the funds in any Deposit Account without further consent by such Pledgor.

(c) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in ARTICLE II, if any Pledgor shall at any time (beginning on the day that is ninety (90) calendar days after the occurrence of the Effective Date (or such later time as the Collateral Agent may in its discretion agree)) hold or acquire any certificated securities constituting Investment Property, in the aggregate for all Pledgors in excess of $500,000 and for each such certificated security in excess of such amount having an individual value in excess of $50,000, such Pledgor shall promptly (1) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent (or to the ABL Agent as gratuitous bailee in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement), accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or (2) deliver such securities into a Securities Account with respect to which a Securities Account Control Agreement is in effect in favor of the Collateral Agent; provided that, in the case of any Securities Account (other than Securities Accounts for which the Securities Intermediary is the Bank) acquired by any Pledgor pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition, the security interest of the Collateral Agent therein shall not be required to be perfected by Control before the day that is ninety (90) calendar days after the date of the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition (or such later time as the Collateral Agent may in its discretion agree). As between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Pledgors shall bear the investment risk with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, and the risk of loss of, damage to, or the destruction of, the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, whether in the possession of, or maintained as a Security Entitlement or deposit by, or subject to the Control of, the Collateral Agent, any Pledgor or any other Person.

SECTION 2.5 Joinder of Additional Guarantors. The Pledgors shall cause each Subsidiary that is organized or existing under any Canadian jurisdiction which, from time to time, after the date hereof the Borrower shall designate as an additional Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.10(d) of the Term Credit Agreement to pledge any assets to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.10(b) of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, (a) to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto and (ii) a Perfection Certificate and upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Guarantor” and a “Pledgor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any

Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Pledgor as a party to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Excluded Subsidiary shall be required to become a Pledgor hereunder.

SECTION 2.6 Supplements; Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional financing statements, amendments, assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or appropriate in order to create, perfect, preserve and protect the Security Interest as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or better to assure and confirm the validity, enforceability and priority of the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest or permit the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies created hereby, including the filing of financing statements, financing change statements, continuation statements and other documents (including this Agreement) under the PPSA (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Security Interest, all in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and in such offices (including the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office) wherever required by law to perfect, continue and maintain the validity, enforceability and priority of the Security Interest as provided herein and to preserve the other rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, as against third parties, with respect to the Collateral, including the execution and delivery of Control Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor shall make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file or refile and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon reasonable request by the Collateral Agent such lists, schedules, descriptions and designations of the Collateral, supplements, additional security agreements, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports, Control Agreements and other assurances or instruments as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or the perfection thereof in the Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost of the Pledgors.

SECTION 3.10 ULC Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Pledgor who has pledged and granted a security interest hereunder in ULC Shares is the sole registered and beneficial owner of all Pledged Securities which are ULC Shares and, except to the extent otherwise permitted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, will remain so until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent or any other person on the books and records of the issuer of such ULC Shares. Nothing in this Agreement, or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto is intended to, and nothing in this Agreement or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto shall, constitute the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or any person other than the applicable Pledgor, a “member” or a “shareholder”, as applicable, of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws (whether listed or unlisted, registered or beneficial), until such time as notice is given to the applicable Pledgor and further steps are taken pursuant hereto or thereto so as to register the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or such other person, as specified in such notice, as the holder of the ULC Shares. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party as a member or a shareholder of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and shall be ineffective with respect to ULC Shares which are Pledged Collateral without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged Collateral which are not ULC Shares.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, where a Pledgor is the registered owner of ULC Shares which are Pledged Collateral, except to the extent otherwise permitted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, such Pledgor will remain the registered owner of such ULC Shares until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or any other person on the books and records of such ULC. Accordingly, the Pledgor of ULC Shares shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend on or other distribution, if any, in respect of such ULC Shares (except insofar as the dividend or other distribution may become subject to a security interest pursuant hereto) and shall have the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the ULC to the same extent as the Pledgor would if such ULC Shares were not pledged pursuant hereto.

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto, except upon the exercise of rights to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with this Agreement the Pledgor of ULC Shares shall not cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds ULC Shares to cause or permit, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to: (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in their favour in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as a shareholder or member of the ULC; (d) be paid, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from the ULC by reason of the Secured Party holding a security interest in the ULC Shares; or (e) act as a shareholder or member of the ULC, or exercise any rights of a shareholder or member, including the right to attend a meeting of shareholders or members, or to vote the ULC Shares.

SECTION 4.1 Title. Except for the Security Interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and Permitted Liens, such Pledgor owns and has rights and, as to General Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, will own and have rights in each item of General Collateral pledged by it hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others, other than Permitted Collateral Liens, except for minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

SECTION 4.2 Validity of Security Interest. The security interest in and Lien on the General Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder constitutes (a) a legal and valid security interest in all General Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and (b) subject to the filings and other actions described in Schedule 7 to the Perfection Certificate (to the extent required to be listed on the schedules to the Perfection Certificate as of the date this representation is made or deemed made), a perfected security interest in all the General Collateral. The Security Interest and Lien granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and on the General Collateral will at all times constitute a perfected, continuing security interest therein, prior to all other Liens on the General Collateral except for Permitted Collateral Liens.

SECTION 4.3 Defense of Claims; Transferability of General Collateral. Each Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary (in the judgment of such Pledgor) to defend title to the General Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Collateral Agent and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party other than Permitted Collateral Liens; provided that, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Pledgor from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its assets or properties if such discontinuance is (x) determined by such Pledgor to be desirable in the conduct of its business or (y) permitted by the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4.4 Other Financing Statements. It has not filed, nor authorized any third party to file (nor will there be), any valid or effective financing statement (or similar statement, instrument of registration or public notice under the law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the General Collateral, except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or in favor of any holder of a Permitted Collateral Lien with respect to such Permitted Collateral Lien or financing statements or public notices relating to the termination or financing change statements listed on Schedule 9 to the Perfection Certificate. No Pledgor shall execute, authorize or permit to be filed in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement, instrument of registration or public notice under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to any General Collateral, except financing statements and other statements and instruments filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted by such Pledgor to the holder of the Permitted Collateral Liens.

SECTION 4.5 Chief Executive Office; Change of Name; Jurisdiction of Organization. The Borrower agrees not to effect any change (i)(w) in any Pledgor’s legal name, (x) in the location of any Pledgor’s chief executive office, (y) in any Pledgor’s identity or organizational structure, unless, in the case of each of the preceding clauses (i)(w) through (i)(y), and it shall give the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent written notice 5 days after such change, or such greater notice period agreed to by Collateral Agent, clearly describing such change and providing such other information in connection therewith as Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent may reasonably request, or (ii) in the Province in which any tangible personal property is located having a value in excess of $100,000, until, in the case of the preceding clause (ii), it shall have given Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice, or such lesser notice period agreed to by Collateral Agent, of its intention so to do, clearly describing such change and providing such other information in connection therewith as Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent may reasonably request. In the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) in the immediately preceding sentence, each applicable Pledgor shall take all action reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral, if applicable. Each Pledgor agrees to promptly provide Collateral Agent with certified Organizational Documents reflecting any of the changes described in the preceding sentence. If any Pledgor fails to provide notice to the Collateral Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such Pledgor’s property constituting General Collateral, for which the Collateral Agent needed to have information relating to such changes. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if any Pledgor does not inform the Collateral Agent of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Collateral Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Pledgor.

SECTION 4.6 Consents, etc. In the event that the Collateral Agent desires to exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other person therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, such Pledgor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist and aid the Collateral Agent to obtain as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.

SECTION 4.7 General Collateral. As of the date such information is dated or certified, or is required to have been delivered, all information set forth herein, including the schedules hereto, and all information contained in any documents, schedules and lists heretofore delivered to any Secured Party, including the Perfection Certificate and the schedules thereto, in connection with this Agreement, in each case, relating to the General Collateral, is accurate and complete in all material respects. The General Collateral described on the schedules to the Perfection Certificate constitutes all material property of such type of General Collateral owned or held by the Pledgors, as of the date such information is dated or certified, or is required to have been delivered.

SECTION 4.8 Insurance. In the event that the Net Cash Proceeds of any insurance claim constituting Collateral are paid to any Pledgor after the Collateral Agent has exercised its right to foreclose after an Event of Default, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and promptly after receipt thereof shall be paid to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4.9 Investment Property (i) As of the date hereof, except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate, no Pledgor has any Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts. No Pledgor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account or Commodity Account with any Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary unless (1) it shall have given the Collateral Agent 30 days prior written notice (or such lesser notice period as the Collateral Agent may agree in its discretion) of its intention to establish such new Securities Account or Commodity Account with such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary and (2) such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as the case may be, and such Pledgor shall have duly executed and delivered a Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account or Commodity Account, as the case may be (it being understood and agreed that perfection by Control of any Securities Account or Commodity Account shall not be required before the day that is ninety (90) calendar days after the occurrence of the Closing Date or, in the case of any Securities Account or Commodity Account acquired by any Pledgor pursuant to any Permitted Acquisition, ninety (90) calendar days after the date of the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition (or, in each case, such later time as the Collateral Agent may in its discretion agree)). No Pledgor shall grant Control over any Investment Property to any person other than the Collateral Agent or subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, another “Agent” under the Intercreditor Agreement.

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN PROVISIONS CONCERNING INTELLECTUAL

PROPERTY COLLATERAL

SECTION 5.1 Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under ARTICLE VII hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Pledgor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.1 shall require Pledgors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Term Loan Credit Agreement, with respect to such property (in each case after giving effect to anti-assignment provisions of applicable law); provided, further, that nothing in the foregoing license grant shall be construed as granting the Collateral Agent rights in and to such Intellectual Property

Collateral above and beyond (x) the rights to such Intellectual Property Collateral that each Pledgor has reserved for itself and (y) in the case of Intellectual Property Collateral that is licensed to any such Pledgor by a third party, the extent to which such Pledgor has the right to grant a sublicense to such Intellectual Property Collateral hereunder (in each case after giving effect to anti-assignment provisions of applicable law)). For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that such license is a present grant. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may also exercise the rights afforded under Section 7.1 of this Agreement with respect to Intellectual Property Collateral contained in the General Collateral.

SECTION 5.2 Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security. On a continuing basis, each Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) promptly following its becoming aware thereof, notify the Collateral Agent of any adverse determination in any proceeding or the institution of any proceeding in any federal, provincial, state or local court or administrative body or in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office regarding any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, such Pledgor’s right to register such Material Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to keep and maintain such registration in full force and effect, (ii) maintain all Material Intellectual Property Collateral as presently used and operated, (iii) not permit to lapse or become abandoned any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, and not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to any such Material Intellectual Property Collateral, (iv) upon such Pledgor obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any event which may reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of any Material Intellectual Property Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent in relation thereto including a levy or threat of levy or any legal process against any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, (v) not license any Intellectual Property Collateral other than licenses entered into by such Pledgor in, or incidental to, the ordinary course of business or otherwise not prohibited by the Term Loan Credit Agreement, or amend or permit the amendment of any of the licenses in a manner that materially and adversely affects the right to receive payments thereunder, or in any manner that would materially impair the value of any Intellectual Property Collateral or the Lien on and security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral created therein hereby, without the consent of the Collateral Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (vi) diligently keep adequate records respecting all Intellectual Property Collateral and (vii) furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request therefor reasonably detailed statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to any Intellectual Property Collateral as the Collateral Agent may from time to time request, which request, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, shall occur no more often than once every three months. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document prevents or shall be deemed to prevent any Pledgor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent permitted by the Term Loan Credit Agreement if such Pledgor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such disposition or discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business or no longer used or useful in such Pledgor’s business.

SECTION 5.3 After-Acquired Property. If any Pledgor shall at any time after the date hereof (i) obtain any rights to any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or (ii) become entitled to the benefit of any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or any renewal or extension thereof, including any reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any Intellectual Property Collateral, or any improvement on any Intellectual Property Collateral, except to the extent constituting Excluded Property, the provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such item enumerated in the preceding clause (i) or (ii), except to the extent constituting Excluded Property, shall automatically constitute Intellectual Property Collateral as if such would have constituted Intellectual Property Collateral at the time of execution hereof and be subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party. Each Pledgor shall promptly provide to the Collateral Agent written notice of any of the foregoing and confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, except to the extent constituting Excluded Property, by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be reasonably necessary to create, preserve, protect or perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral. Further, each Pledgor authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedules 12(a) and 12(b) to the Perfection Certificate to include any such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Pledgor acquired or arising after the date hereof.

SECTION 5.4 Litigation. Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of Default, each Pledgor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party in interest, for its own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value or other damage as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, each Pledgor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its rights under this Section 5.4 in accordance with Section 10.03 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

TRANSFERS

SECTION 6.1 Transfers of Collateral. No Pledgor shall sell, convey, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder except as expressly permitted by the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

REMEDIES

SECTION 7.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may from time to time exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the following remedies:

(a) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon any Pledgor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located, remove such Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Collateral and use in connection with such removal and possession any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of any Pledgor;

(b) Demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, such Pledgor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent;

(c) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;

(d) Take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Pledgor shall at its own expense: (A) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Collateral Agent and therewith delivered to the Collateral Agent, (B) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent and (C) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. Each Pledgor’s obligation to deliver the Collateral as contemplated in this Section 7.1(d) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by any Pledgor of such obligation;

(e) Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of any Pledgor constituting Collateral for application to the Secured Obligations as provided in ARTICLE VIII hereof;

(f) Retain and apply the Distributions to the Secured Obligations as provided in ARTICLE VIII hereof;

(g) Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Collateral;

(h) Appoint by instrument in writing one or more Receivers of any Pledgor or any or all of the Collateral of such Pledgor with such rights, powers and authority (including any or all of the rights, powers and authority of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement) as may be provided for in the instrument of appointment or any supplemental instrument, and remove and replace any such Receiver from time to time. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any Receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent will (for purposed relating to responsibility for the Receiver’s acts or omissions) be considered to be the agent of such Pledgor and not of the Collateral Agent or any of the other Secured Parties;

(i) Obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction an order for the appointment of a Receiver of any Pledgor or of any or all of the Collateral of such Pledgor; and

(j) Exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the PPSA and any other applicable law or statute, or otherwise available to the Collateral Agent by contract, at law or in equity, and the Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in Section 7.2 below, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable by such person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned

or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

SECTION 7.2 Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof shall be required by law, ten (10) days prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

SECTION 7.3 Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE VII in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Pledgor.

SECTION 7.4 Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.

(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Securities, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain restrictions or prohibitions contained in applicable laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Securities and Investment Property, to limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Securities or Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution

or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Securities or Investment Property for the period of time necessary to comply with such restrictions or prohibitions.

(c) If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Securities or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall from time to time furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Pledged Securities or Investment Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under any laws governing securities and the rules and regulations of any applicable securities regulatory authority thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(d) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 7.4 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 7.5 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available.

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 7.6 Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or

assignments of the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and Goodwill and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. Within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereafter from the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Pledgor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Pledgor’s employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate to permit such Pledgor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold by such Pledgor under the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf.

ARTICLE VIII

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

SECTION 8.1 Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 9.1 Concerning Collateral Agent.

(a) The Collateral Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Term Loan Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that

neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Securities, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Collateral.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

(d) If any item of Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the provisions hereof shall control.

SECTION 9.2 Collateral Agent May Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay and discharge any taxes, assessments and special assessments, levies, fees and governmental charges imposed upon or assessed against, and landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation of law against, all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, upon written notice to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Term Loan Credit Agreement. Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.03 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 9.2 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default (if applicable). Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Pledgor or any third party for

failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

SECTION 9.3 Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and, in the case of a Secured Party that is a party to a Hedging Agreement (solely to the extent the Hedging Obligations arising thereunder constitute Secured Obligations), such Hedging Agreement. Each of the Pledgors agrees that its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest created hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or otherwise.

SECTION 9.4 Termination; Release.

(a) When all the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and the Commitments of the Lenders to make any Loan under the Term Loan Credit Agreement shall have expired or been sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement, or as otherwise provided in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon such release or any release of Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent except as to the fact that the Collateral Agent has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Collateral or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Collateral, proper documents and instruments that any Pledgor shall reasonably request (including PPSA and UCC-3 termination financing statements, financing change statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

(b) A Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interest in the Collateral of such Pledgor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Term Loan Credit Agreement as a result of which such Pledgor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower in accordance and in compliance with the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

(c) Upon any sale or transfer by any Pledgor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (other than a sale or transfer to another Loan Party in accordance and in compliance with the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement), or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

SECTION 9.5 Modification in Writing. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other document evidencing the Secured Obligations, no notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 9.6 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as to any Pledgor, addressed to it at the address of the Borrower set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement and as to the Collateral Agent, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 9.6.

SECTION 9.7 Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Without prejudice to the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce this Agreement in any other proper jurisdiction, each Pledgor irrevocably submits and attorns to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of such Province. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor irrevocably waives any objection (including any claim of inconvenient forum) that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the courts of such Province.

SECTION 9.8 Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.9 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts when taken

together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic transmission (i.e. a “pdf” or “tif” document) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.10 Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.

SECTION 9.11 No Claims Against Collateral Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Collateral Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Collateral Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.

SECTION 9.12 No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Collateral or from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, the Term Loan Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or under or in respect of the Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Collateral hereunder. The obligations of each Pledgor contained in this Section 9.12 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of such Pledgor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.13 Obligations Absolute. Except as set forth in Section 9.4, all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any other Pledgor;

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement (solely in respect of Hedging Obligations constituting Secured Obligations) or any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Term Loan Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement (solely in respect of Hedging Obligations constituting Secured Obligations) or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(d) any pledge, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(e) any exercise, non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof, the Term Loan Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement (solely in respect of Hedging Obligations constituting Secured Obligations) or any other Loan Document except as specifically set forth in a waiver granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.5 hereof; or

(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor.

SECTION 9.14 Intercreditor Agreement

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the exercise of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees that no Pledgor shall be required to take or refrain from taking any action at the request of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral if such action or inaction would be inconsistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) Subject to the foregoing, (i) to the extent the provisions of this Agreement (or any other Security Documents) require the delivery of, or control over, ABL Priority Collateral to be granted to the Collateral Agent at any time prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, then delivery of such ABL Priority Collateral (or control with respect thereto, (and any related approval or consent rights)) shall instead be granted to the ABL Agent, to be held in accordance with the ABL Documents and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) any provision of this Agreement (or any other Loan Documents) requiring Pledgors to name the Collateral Agent as an additional insured or a loss payee under any insurance policy or a beneficiary of any letter of credit, such requirement shall have been complied with if any such insurance policy or letter of credit also names the ABL Agent as an additional insured, loss payee or beneficiary, as the case may be, in each case pursuant and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) Furthermore, at all times prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Collateral Agent is authorized by the parties hereto to effect transfers of ABL Priority Collateral at any time in its possession (and any “control” or similar agreements with respect to ABL Priority Collateral) to the ABL Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein but subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event the ABL Documents provide for the grant of a security interest or pledge over the assets of any Pledgor and such assets do not otherwise constitute Collateral under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, such Pledgor shall (i) promptly grant a security interest in or pledge such assets to secure the Secured Obligations, (ii) promptly take any actions necessary to perfect such security interest or pledge to the extent set forth in the ABL Documents and (iii) take all other steps reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in connection with the foregoing.

(e) Nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement, which, as among the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Pledgor hereby grants and pledges to the Collateral Agent, as collateral security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, a Lien on and security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral and expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Guarantor and Pledgor thereunder. The New Pledgor hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and agrees to each of the covenants applicable to the Pledgors contained in the Security Agreement and Article III of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
