COURT FILE NUMBER 1901- Clerk’s Stamp
DOCUMENT AFFIDAVIT
1. I am the Managing Director of the Turnaround and Restructuring Group of ATB Financial
(“ATB”). I have been directly involved with the accounts of Innova Global Ltd. (the “Borrower”)
and have had primary responsibility for managing the syndicated secured credit facilities on
behalf of ATB. Additionally, I have reviewed the books and records maintained by and in the
possession of ATB in the ordinary course of business. Based on the aforementioned and upon
such review, I have personal knowledge of the matters and facts hereinafter sworn to, except
where stated to be based on information and belief, in which case, I believe the same to be true.

2. I am authorized to make this Affidavit on behalf of ATB, as the agent (the “Agent”, when
acting in such capacity) on behalf of ATB, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”), and
Export Development Canada (“EDC”, EDC, CIBC, and ATB are collectively, the “Lenders”)
under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 19, 2018 (the
“SARCA”) among the Borrower, as borrower, the Lenders, as lenders, and the Agent, as
administrative agent, as subsequently amended pursuant to: (i) the First Amending Agreement
made effective as of February 28, 2019 (the “First Amending Agreement”); and (ii) the Second
Amending Agreement effective as of March 8, 2019 (the “Second Amending Agreement”) (the
SARCA, as amended by the First Amending Agreement and the Second Amending Agreement,
is referred to as the “Credit Agreement”). The Facilities were provided by the Lenders to the
Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Now shown to me and marked as
Exhibit “A” to this, my Affidavit, is a copy of the SARCA together with the First Amending
Agreement and the Second Amending Agreement; however, in accordance with Rule 13.21(3)
of the Alberta Rules of Court only the First Amending Agreement and the Second Amending
Agreement have been attached hereto.
3. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
4. The Loan Parties, as at March 25, 2019, were indebted to the Lenders in the amount of
$74,208,597, plus all interest, standby fees, costs, expenses, legal and professional fees and all
other amounts due, accruing due and continuing to accrue in accordance with the terms and
conditions of any Loan Document (collectively, the “Indebtedness”). This Affidavit is sworn in
support of an urgent application by the Agent, which is supported by all of the Lenders, for the
following relief to:
(a) abridge the time for service of the Agent’s application and supporting materials;
(b) appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., LIT (“PwC”) as receiver and manager (the
“Receiver”) over all of the assets, properties, and undertakings of the five
Canadian Loan Parties and the three US Loan Parties as listed in Exhibit “B”
hereto;
(c) authorize and empower PwC to act as a foreign representative within the
meaning provided for in Title 11 of Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy
174791/480397
DOCS 19021274
-3-
Code (the “US Code”) for the purposes of obtaining foreign recognition of the
within proceedings in the United States on terms and conditions that PwC
considers appropriate; and,
(d) such other and related relief as counsel for Lenders may advise.
5. The Loan Parties are in the business of providing project construction, engineering and
related services to clients in multiple jurisdictions around the world and employ approximately
400 people. Their operations can roughly be divided into the following five (5) divisions:
(a) Noise Management (“NM”): Provides industrial noise management solutions for
permanent and temporary industrial facilitates and field equipment. NM is based
in Calgary, Alberta, with sale offices throughout the US and Canada and
performs work on a worldwide basis;
(c) Heat Recovery Steam Generator (“HRSG”): develops systems that recover heat
from hot gas steam and is based in Minnesota;
(d) St. George Steel (“SGS”): is a standalone fabricator for large-scale projects; and,
(e) Braden Europe (“BEUR”): designs, manufactures and installs and retrofits
auxiliary equipment for gas turbines in the European marketplace.
6. The Borrower has been in financial difficulty since mid-to-late 2018. In late
February 2019, and as further testified to herein, the Borrower advised the Agent that it
anticipated defaulting on the Credit Agreement because it would be unable to make a required
repayment of $2,500,000 due on February 28, 2019 that resulted from a scheduled reduction of
commitment. The Credit Agreement was amended to extend the date for this repayment on two
separate occasions, once to March 8, 2019 and again to March 15, 2019. The Borrower
174791/480397
DOCS 19021274
-4-
subsequently failed to make the repayment on March 15, 2019 and such failure constituted an
Event of Default. Although the Event of Default at issue under the Credit Agreement was a
significant payment default (and not, by way of example, a reporting default), the Agent and the
Lenders elected not to exercise their right to demand at such time because they remained
desirous of exploring whether the Loan Parties would be able to present a viable plan or
proposal that could be supported by the Lenders and that would address the continuing
solvency challenges of the Loan Parties. The Agent, for and on behalf of the Lenders, did
terminate all remaining availability and commitments under the Credit Agreement by written
notice to the Borrower on March 15, 2019.
7. In the period following March 15, 2019, the Agent, the Lenders, the Loan Parties and
their respective financial and legal advisors have been working to see if there was a
collaborative solution to address the liquidity challenges experienced by the Loan Parties. The
efforts have included continuing discussions with TriWest Capital Partners (“TriWest”), who is
the indirect private equity sponsor of the Loan Parties. TriWest is a sophisticated and well
capitalized investment fund. The Agent and the Lenders have been in discussions with TriWest
for several months because TriWest’s expertise and investment resources present a possible
solution for the Loan Parties. TriWest has now confirmed to the Lenders that it is unwilling to:
(a) invest subordinated debt or equity into the Loan Parties; or (b) purchase all or a portion of
the Indebtedness owed to and Security held by the Lenders. The parties were ultimately unable
to come to a go-forward consensus and the Agent advised the Borrower that it intended to
demand repayment of the Indebtedness on March 31, 2019.
8. Following the Agent’s advice to the Borrower that it intended to issue a demand, Mr. Guy
Martel of Stikeman Elliott LLP, counsel to the Canadian Loan Parties, sent an email to counsel
for the Agent and the Lenders. The email stated that the directors and chief executive officer of
the Canadian Loan Parties intend to immediately resign from their positions. The Canadian
Loan Parties directly or indirectly control all of the other Loan Parties. Absent the immediate
intervention of this Honorable Court by way of the appointment of PwC as receiver and
manager, the resignation of the directors will cause immediate and severe irreparable harm to
the Loan Parties and, by extension, the Agent and the Lenders. The Loan Parties will have no
control or ability to make day to day management decisions regarding their business. The vast
majority of the assets with value that are subject to the Security are accounts receivable and I
am particularly concerned that data and other material information relating to the collection of
174791/480397
DOCS 19021274
-5-
such accounts will be lost if PwC is not appointed. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “C”
to this my Affidavit is a copy of the email from Mr. Martel on March 31, 2019.
(a) Innova Global Ltd. (the “Borrower”), formerly AEM Emissions Management Ltd.,
is a corporation incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business

Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “D” to this my affidavit, is a copy of the
Alberta Corporate Registry search in respect of the Borrower, dated March 25,

located in the City of Calgary. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “E” to
this my affidavit, is a copy of the Alberta Corporate Registry search in respect of
Innova Operating, dated March 25, 2019.
(c) Innova Global Limited Partnership (“Innova LP”), formerly AEM Emissions
Management Limited Partnership, is a corporation incorporated pursuant to the
provisions of the Partnership Act (Alberta). Attached hereto and marked as
Exhibit “F” to this my affidavit, is a copy of the Alberta Corporate Registry
search in respect of Innova LP, dated March 25, 2019.
(e) Innova Global Holdings Limited Partnership (“Holdings LP”, Holdings LP,

referred to as, the “Canadian Loan Parties”), a partnership created pursuant to
the provisions of the Partnership Act (Alberta). Attached hereto and marked as

10. The Borrower is the ultimate parent of the Guarantors which includes the other Canadian
Loan Parties. Now shown to me and attached hereto as Exhibit “I” to this my Affidavit is a
Corporate Organization Chart of all Loan Parties and their respective jurisdictions.
11. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Borrower had access to:
(d) a revolving Swingline Facility, which forms part of the Operating Facility, in the
amount of Cdn.$5,000,000; and,
13. Pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and with the approval
of the Majority Lenders, shall be entitled to, without limited or restricting other remedies or rights
under contract, at law or in equity, as the Agent and the Majority Lenders may in their sole and
unfettered discretion determine: (i) cease to make or continue any Borrowings hereunder,
notwithstanding any prior receipt by the Agent of a Borrowing Notice, Conversion Notice or a
Rollover Notice or any other event and the Agent may, by written notice to the Borrower, declare
the Total Commitment and the right of the Borrower to apply for further Accommodations to be
terminated; and, (ii) by written notice to the Borrower, declare all Borrowings (including the face
amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances and the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit) and other liabilities and indebtedness (whether matured or unmatured) of the Borrower
to the Agent, the Lenders, and the Creditcard Lenders, to be immediately due and payable (or
174791/480397
DOCS 19021274
-7-
to be due and payable at such later time as may be stated in such notice) without further
demand, presentation, protest, or other notice of any kind.
14. Pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Total Operating Facility
Commitment was to reduce by $2,500,000 on February 28, 2019. This commitment reduction
would have resulted in an excess of outstanding Borrowings over the reduced commitment
amount. Pursuant to Section 3.1(b), the Borrower would have been required to repay sufficient
Operating Borrowings on such date to eliminate such excess. Pursuant to the First Amending
Agreement, the commitment reduction and resulting repayment requirement were delayed to
March 8, 2019. Pursuant to the Second Amending Agreement, the commitment reduction and
resulting repayment requirement were further delayed to March 15, 2019. The Total Operating
Facility Commitment was reduced in accordance with Section 3.1(b) of the Credit Agreement on
March 15, 2019 and a repayment requirement on such date arose. The Borrower did not make
the required repayment on March 15, 2019 and an Event of Default resulted therefrom.

Liquidity Issues
25. On October 19, 2018, the parties entered into the SARCA which, in part, contemplated
that Lenders would provide an Unmargined Contribution of $5,000,000 as part of the Total
Operating Facility Commitment. As part of the Total Operating Facility Commitment, the Agent,
Lenders and Borrower agreed that the Unmargined Contribution would reduce by $2,500,000 on
February 28, 2018 triggering a commensurate repayment obligation of the Borrower as set out
above.
26. As part of the Lenders agreeing to provide the Unmargined Contribution, TriWest
affiliates also provided the following additional limited guarantees:
(a) Limited Guarantee dated as of October 19, 2018 granted by TriWest Capital
Partners V, L.P. (“TriWest Canada”) with liability limited to the sum of
Cdn.$2,082,000.; and,
(b) Limited Guarantee dated as of October 19, 2018 granted by TriWest Capital
Partners V (US), L.P. (“TriWest US”, TriWest US And TriWest Canada are
collectively referred to as, “TriWest”) with liability limited to the sum of
Cdn.$418,000,
(collectively, the “TriWest Guarantees”). Attached hereto and marked as Exhibits “BB”
and “CC”, to this my Affidavit, are a copies of the TriWest Guarantees.
27. Shortly before February 28, 2019, the Borrower requested that the Agent and the
Lenders amend the SARCA to delay the $2,500,000 reduction to the Total Operating Facility
Commitment occurring on February 28, 2019 (the “Unmargined Reduction”) and the
commensurate repayment triggered thereby. As a result, the Agent, the Borrower and the
Lenders entered into the First Amending Agreement, wherein, among other amendments, the
parties thereto agreed to extend the February 28, 2019 deadline to March 8, 2019.
28. Following the First Amending Agreement, the Borrower requested a further extension to
the date of the Unmargined Reduction and the commensurate repayment triggered thereby.
The Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders entered into the Second Amending Agreement,
wherein, among other amendments, the parties thereto agreed to further extend the March 8,
2019 deadline to March 15, 2019.
174791/480397
DOCS 19021274
- 15 -
29. The Unmargined Reduction occurred on March 15, 2019, but the Borrower failed to
make the commensurate repayment on March 15, 2019 triggered thereby. The Borrower’s
failure to make the repayment triggered by the Unmargined Reduction constituted an Event of
Default under the Credit Agreement.
30. As a result of the Borrower committing an Event of Default, on March 15, 2019, the
Agent, for and on behalf of the Lenders, provided notice (the “Termination Notice”) to the
Borrower, informing the Borrower of the Event of Default under Section 10.1(a) of the Credit
Agreement and, furthermore, providing notice that pursuant to Section 10.2(a) of the Credit
Agreement, the Lenders were no longer willing to make or continue to make any Borrowings,
effective immediately. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “DD”, to this my Affidavit, are a
copies of the Termination Notice.
31. On March 31, 2019, the Agent, for and on behalf of the Lenders, advised the Borrower
that it will demand repayment of the Indebtedness. The Loan Parties have not repaid the
Indebtedness owing to the Lenders.
Foreign Recognition
32. The Loan Parties operate in various international jurisdictions, including within the United
States. If it is determined by PwC to be in the best interests of the estates of the Loan Parties it
is expected that PwC will make an application for foreign recognition under Chapter 15 of the
US Code in respect of the US Loan Parties in a relatively expedited fashion. The proposed form
of order also authorizes PwC to act as a foreign representative in such a proceeding.
33. The Loan Parties are jointly and severally liable for the Indebtedness and are insolvent.
The Loan Parties (including the Loan Parties that operate outside of Canada) operate as a
single economic unit and have common management, accounting functions and financial
reporting. It is appropriate for PwC to be appointed as receiver and manager over the US Loan
Parties so that their insolvency, property and affairs, and the rights of all creditors against them,
can be administered and supervised in an efficient and cost-effective fashion and with the
assistance of courts in the United States as PwC determines is necessary or advisable.
34. The Borrower currently has no access or availability under the Facilities or the Credit
Agreement. All Loan Parties derive liquidity via the Borrower. The Lenders are not prepared to
174791/480397
DOCS 19021274
- 16 -
extend any further credit to the Borrower. It has become evident that no other parties including
TriWest, are willing to commit or advance any additional funds in order to sustain or provide
additional liquidity to the Borrower and the Loan Parties during the course of this liquidity crisis.
35. Absent further funding, the Borrower is unable to meet its obligations as they become
due. The Agent therefore has serious and valid concerns regarding the protection and
preservation of its Collateral which includes any value attributed to the Canadian Loan Parties’
ongoing operations. The Lenders are only prepared to fund go forward critical payment
obligations by way of priority advances made under the terms of a receivership order and
receiver’s certificate within the proposed receivership proceedings.
36. The granting of the relief sought by the Agent will preserve and protect the Agent’s first
security position and allow go-forward decisions in respect of the Canadian Loan Parties’
business to be made by a court-appointed officer for the benefit of all stakeholders.
37. PwC is a licensed trustee in bankruptcy and has consented to being appointed as
Receiver of the Canadian Loan Parties.
38. The appointment of the Receiver will allow the Property to be preserved. Additionally, all
revenues derived from the Canadian Loan Parties’ business will be used to maximize value for
the general benefit of the estate and all stakeholders. The appointment of the Receiver will also
allow the status quo to be maintained while the Receiver determines what additional steps are
required with respect to the US Loan Parties.
Conclusion
39. I believe it is just, convenient, and appropriate for a receiver to be appointed over the
Canadian Loan Parties and the US Loan Parties, for the following reasons:
(a) the directors and chief executive officer of the Canadian Loan Parties have either
resigned or intend to resign immediately and, as a result of the corporate
structure, this has a corresponding impact on all other Loan Parties;
(b) the majority of the assets of the Loan Parties that have material value and are
subject to the Security are accounts receivable. The Receiver will be the most
efficient and effective way to realize on these assets and maximize the recovery
174791/480397
DOCS 19021274
-17-
of the Agent, the Lenders, and the estate and stakeholders of the Canadian Loan
Parties;
(c) the Canadian Loan Parties have serious risk of not being able to meet critical
payment obligations. Absent the immediate intervention of this Honourable
Court, this will prevent any ordinary course wind-down under the control of the
Receiver and cause severe, irreparable, and unnecessary prejudice to the first
security position of the Agent and the Lenders;
(d) the Agent has valid and serious concerns regarding the preservation and
protection of the Collateral, particularly due to the ongoing liquidity issues and its
inability to meets its obligations as they become due;
(e) the Loan Parties have operations and assets situated in the Untied States and
the proposed form of order allows PwC to initiate proceedings under the US
Code.
40. PwC has consented to act as receiver and manager of the Loan Parties that may
become debtors within the receivership order.
41. I swear this affidavit in support of an application to appoint PwC as receiver and
manager of the Loan Parties, together with such powers, as set out in the draft Receivership
Order, attached to the Notice of Application to be filed concurrently with this, my Affidavit.

Doran, Katie
Walker, please send those asap. We will accept service, our client will waive the delay and will confirm its non-objection
(but not its consent) to the appointment of a receiver. The directors and the CEO will be resigning in short order so you
should plan to have representatives of your proposed receiver on site first thing tomorrow to coordinate a smooth
transition with the members of senior management that are still in place. Also, please copy us on your communications
with the court as will be making representations at the hearing of your motion. We reiterate that the Company and its
advisors are of the view that the proposed course of action is unlikely to provide a better alternative than what has
already been proposesd, in addition to being very prejudicial to a number of vulnerable stakeholders, including the
Company’s employees. Brgds.

(n) any incapacity, lack of authority, or other defence of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any
other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of
the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person with respect to all or any part of the

circumstance whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, which might, but

: reduction of the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (other than the payment or
satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations).

Borrower for reimbursement, its right to recover contribution from any other Person or any other
right or remedy.
5. Indemnity. Each Guarantor shall be liable for and shall indemnify and save the Lenders harmless
from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities suffered or incurred

full or fully perform the Obligations as and when due, provided that the amount of such
indemnification shall not exceed the amount of the Obligations together with any and all other
amounts due and owing hereunder from time to time.
6. No Waiver. No delay on the part of any Lender in exercising any of its options, powers or rights,
or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. No amendment to this
Guarantee or waiver of any of the rights of any Lender hereunder shall be deemed to be made by
any Lender unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed by the Agent and the Guarantors and
each such waiver, if any, shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved and for the
specific purpose for which given, and shall in no way impair the rights or liabilities of any Lender
or any Guarantor in any other respect at any other time.
7. Deemed Existence. If at any time, all or any part of any payment previously applied by any
Lender to any Obligation is or must be rescinded or returned to a Lender for any reason
whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other Person) such Obligation shall, for the purpose of this Guarantee, to the
extent that such payment is rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence,
notwithstanding such application by such Lender, and this Guarantee shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligation, all as though such
application had not been made.
8. Assignment and Postponement. All present and future indebtedness and liabilities of the
Borrower to each Guarantor is hereby assigned by such Guarantor to the Agent and, following
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, postponed to the Obligations
and all moneys received by such Guarantor in respect thereof will be received in trust for and will
be paid over to the Agent upon demand by the Agent. If any Lender receives from any Guarantor
a payment or payments in full or on account of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder, such
Guarantor will not be entitled to claim repayment against the Borrower until the Lender’s claims
against the Borrower have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full. In case of liquidation,
winding-up or bankruptcy of the Borrower (whether voluntary or involuntary) or any composition
with creditors or scheme of arrangement, the Lenders will have the right to rank for their full
claims and receive all dividends or other payments in respect thereof in priority to such Guarantor
until the claims of the Lenders have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full and such
Guarantor will continue to be liable hereunder for any balance which may be owing to the
Lenders by the Borrower. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 will not in any way limit or
lessen the liability of any Guarantor under any other section of this Guarantee.

9. Other Securities. This Guarantee is in addition to and not in substitution for any other guarantee
or any other securities by whomsoever given at any time held by any Lender for any present or
future Obligations and such Lender shall at all times have the right to proceed against or realize
upon all or any portion of any other guarantees or securities or any other money or assets to
which it may become entitled or have a claim in such order and in such manner as it in its sole
and unfettered discretion may deem fit.
10. Continuing Guarantee. Subject to Section 27, this Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and
shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until payment in full of all
(a)
amounts payable under this Guarantee and termination of the Lenders’ Commitments and
obligations under and pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (b) shall enure to the benefit of each
Lender and its respective successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its
successors and permitted assigns.
11. Enforcement of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be
enforceable by the Agent upon demand by the Agent for payment of the Obligations made after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with the terms
[ hereof without the necessity of any action or recourse whatsoever against the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other Person. The remedies provided in this Guarantee are cumulative and not
j exclusive of any remedies provided by Applicable Law, the Loan Documents or otherwise.
12. Subrogation. This Guarantee shall not be considered as wholly or partially satisfied by the
payment or liquidation at any time or times of any sum or sums of money for the time being due
or remaining unpaid to any Lender, and all dividends, compensations, proceeds of security
1 .1 valued and payments received by any Lender from the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other
Person or from any estate shall be regarded for all purposes as payments in gross without any
right on the part of any Guarantor to claim in reduction of the liability under this Guarantee the
benefit of any such dividends, compositions, proceeds or payments or any securities held by any
Lender or proceeds thereof, and no Guarantor shall have any right to be subrogated in any rights
of any Lender until the Lenders shall have received full, final and indefeasible payment and
performance of the Obligations and the Lenders have no further obligation to extend credit or
advance monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower.
13. Foreign Currency Obligations. Each Guarantor will make payment relative to each Obligation in
the currency (the “Original Currency”) in which the Borrower is required to pay such Obligation.
If any Guarantor makes payment relative to any Obligation to a Lender in a currency (the “Other
Currency”) other than the Original Currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or
judgment of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction), such payment will constitute a discharge of the
liability of such Guarantor hereunder in respect of such Obligation only to the extent of the
amount of the Original Currency which such Lender is able to purchase at Calgary, Alberta with
the amount it receives on the date of receipt. If the amount of the Original Currency which such
Lender is able to purchase is less than the amount of such currency originally due to it in respect
of the relevant Obligation, each Guarantor will indemnify and save the Lenders harmless from
and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity will
constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this
Guarantee, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of
any indulgence granted by any Lender and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding
any judgment or order in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.
14. Guarantee of Payment and Performance. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and
performance and not of collection and is in addition and without prejudice to any securities of any
kind now or hereafter held by any Lender.
15. Costs. The Guarantors shall pay to the Agent all legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis
and all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
Lenders from time to time in the enforcement, realization and collection of or in respect of this
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158721
‘I
60
-6-
Guarantee, which for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of legal fees and expenses, should be
limited to the fees and expenses of one separate law firm for the Lenders unless such
representation by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests or the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the applicable
Guarantor in writing and such firm or firms shall be designated in writing by the Agent on behalf of
each Lender. The term “Obflgations” herein shall include all such costs and expenses.
16. Payment. All payments hereunder with respect to any Obligations shall be made to the Agent on
behalf of the Lenders at the Agent’s Branch of Account or at such other branch or agency of the
Agent as the Agent shall designate from time to time by notice in writing to the Borrower. All
Obligations shall be payable by the Guarantors on demand, shall from the date of such demand
bear interest at the rate or rates of interest then applicable to the Obligations under and
calculated in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement (including any adjustment to give
effect to the provisions of the Interest Act (Canada)).
17. Payment on Stay. lf(a) the Borrower is prevented from making payment of any of the Obligations
when it would otherwise be required to do so; or (b) any Lender is prevented from demanding
payment of the Obligations because of a stay or other judicial proceeding or any other legal
impediment, all Obligations or other amounts otherwise subject to demand, acceleration or
payment shall be payable by the Guarantors as provided for hereunder.
18. Waiver of Notice. Each Guarantor waives all notices which may be required by any statute, rule
of law, contract or otherwise to preserve the rights of any Lender against such Guarantor.
19. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Guarantor hereunder shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim, free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any Tax. If any
Guarantor shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then: (i)
the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 19) the applicable
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made; (ii) the applicable Guarantor shall make such deductions; and (iii) the applicable
Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with Applicable Law.
(b) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the
law of the jurisdiction in which a Guarantor is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a
party, with respect to payments under this Guarantee, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to deliver to the applicable Guarantor, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably
requested by such Guarantor as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
such reduced rate.
(c) If the applicable Lender receives a refund, credit or deduction from a taxing authority
in respect of a payment by any Guarantor of Taxes, such Lender thereupon shall make
commercially reasonable efforts to repay the applicable Guarantor the amount with respect to
such refund, credit or deduction equal to any net reduction in Taxes actually obtained by such
Lender to be attributable to such refund, credit or deduction (net all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses related thereto); provided that, such Guarantor shall, upon a request by the applicable
Lender, return such refund, credit or deduction to such party if such party is required to repay
such amount to the applicable taxing authority.
20. Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction. The parties agree that this Guarantee is
conclusively deemed to be made under, and for all purposes to be governed by and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the Province of Alberta and of Canada applicable therein. There
shall be no application of any conflict of laws or rules which would result in any laws other than
internal laws in force in the Province of Alberta applying to this Guarantee. The parties hereto do
1747911480397
MT DOCS 15158721
61
-7-
hereby irrevocably submit and attorn to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province
of Alberta for all matters arising out of or relating to this Guarantee, or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or by any thereof, without prejudice to the rights of any Lender to take
proceedings in other jurisdictions in which any assets of a Guarantor may be situate.
21. Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is or becomes prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction does not invalidate, affect or impair the remaining provisions hereof in such
jurisdiction and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction does not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
22. Notices. Any notice or other communication hereunder shall be made in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement.
23. Acknowledgment. Each Guarantor confirms that its obligations under this Guarantee are not
subject to any promise or condition affecting or limiting its liability, and no statement,
representation, collateral agreement or promise by any Lender or by any officer, employee or
agent of it, forms any part of this Guarantee or has induced the making thereof, or shall be
deemed in any way to affect any Guarantor’s liability hereunder.
24. Additional Guarantors. Any Person may become a Guarantor hereunder by executing a
Guarantor Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and delivering the
same to the Agent. Any such Person shall thereafter be a “Guarantor” for all purposes under this
Guarantee, to the same extent as if it were an original signatory hereto.
25. Joint and Several Obligations. Each Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee is joint and several
with all other Guarantors under this Guarantee, and with any other Person who from time to time
guarantees all or any part of the Obligations under any other Loan Document.
26. Waiver of Trial by Jury. The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, any right they may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising
out of or relating to this guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether
based on contract, tort or any other theory). The parties (a) certify that no representative, agent
or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party
would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledge
that they have been induced to enter into this guarantee by, among other things, the waivers and
certifications in this section.
27. Termination and Release. At such time as the Obligations have been unconditionally and
irrevocably paid in full, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate, all without
delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. The Agent shall, at the request
and expense of the Borrower or the Guarantors, execute and deliver to the Borrower or the
Guarantors such documents as the Borrower or the Guarantors shall reasonably request to
evidence any termination or release contemplated by this Section 27. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing provision, each Guarantor shall automatically be released from its
obligations hereunder in the event that the Guarantor is no longer required to be a Loan Party in
accordance with Section 9.5(b) of the Credit Agreement.
28. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Guarantee and the provisions
of the Credit Agreement which cannot be resolved by both provisions being complied with, the
provisions contained in the Credit Agreement will prevail to the extent of such conflict.
29. Counterpart Execution. This Guarantee may be executed by facsimile or other electronic means
and in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts (including by
facsimile or other electronic means, including in pdf format), each of which when so executed
Q 174791/480397

Person;
(j) any addition, substitution or release of any co-signer, endorser, other guarantor or any

(I) any failure of any Lender to proceed against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any
other Person, to proceed against, apply or exhaust any security held from the Borrower,
any Guarantor or any other Person, or to proceed against or to pursue any other remedy
or recourse in the power of any Lender whatsoever;
(m) the benefit of any law which provides that the obligation of a guarantor must neither be
larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal
obligation or which reduces a guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal
obligations;
(n) any incapacity, lack of authority, or other defence of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any
other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of
the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person with respect to all or any part of the
Obligations, or by reason of any act or omission of any Lender or others which directly or
indirectly results in the discharge or release of the Borrower, any Guarantor or all or any
part of the Obligations or any security, or guarantee therefor, whether by operation of law
or otherwise;
(o) any failure by any Lender to obtain, perfect or maintain a perfected (or any) Security
Interest upon any property of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or by
reason of any interest of any Lender in any property, whether as owner thereof or the
holder of a Security Interest therein or lien or encumbrance thereon, being invalidated,
voided, declared fraudulent or preferential or otherwise set aside, or by reason of any
impairment by any Lender of any right to recourse or collateral;
(q) any failure of any Lender to give to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person
notice of any sale or other disposition of any property securing any or all of the
Obligations or any guarantee thereof, or any defect in any notice that may be given in
connection with any sale or other disposition of any such property, or any failure of any
Lender to comply with any provision of Applicable Law in enforcing any Security Interest
upon any such property, including any failure by any Lender to dispose of any such
property in a commercially reasonable manner;
(r) any dealing whatsoever with the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or any
security, whether negligently or not, or any failure to do so;
(s) any extinguishment of all or any of the Obligations for any reason whatsoever (other than
the actual satisfaction thereof);
87
-4-
(t) whether any Lender Swaps shall be in respect of commodity risk, interest rate risk,
currency risk or otherwise and whether on a financial or physical basis, and whether
speculative or not; or
(u) any other law, event or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defence
available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor, any other act or omission to act or delay of
any kind by the Borrower, any Guarantor, any Lender or any other Person, or any other
circumstance whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, which might, but
for the provisions of this Section 4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge, limitation or
reduction of the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (other than the payment or
satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations).
The foregoing provisions apply (and the foregoing waivers shall be effective) even if the effect is
to destroy or diminish any Guarantor’s subrogation rights, its right to proceed against the
Borrower for reimbursement, its right to recover contribution from any other Person or any other
right or remedy.
5. Indemnity. Each Guarantor shall be liable for and shall indemnify and save the Lenders harmless
from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities suffered or incurred
by any Lender resulting or arising from or relating to any failure of any other Loan Party to pay in
full or fully perform the Obligations as and when due, provided that the amount of such
indemnification shall not exceed the amount of the Obligations together with any and all other
amounts due and owing hereunder from time to time.
6. No Waiver. No delay on the part of any Lender in exercising any of its options, powers or rights,
or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. No amendment to this
Guarantee or waiver of any of the rights of any Lender hereunder shall be deemed to be made by
any Lender unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed by the Agent and the Guarantors and
each such waiver, if any, shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved and for the
specific purpose for which given, and shall in no way impair the rights or liabilities of any Lender
or any Guarantor in any other respect at any other time.
7. Deemed Existence. If at any time, all or any part of any payment previously applied by any
Lender to any Obligation is or must be rescinded or returned to a Lender for any reason
whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other Person) such Obligation shall, for the purpose of this Guarantee, to the
extent that such payment is rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence,
notwithstanding such application by such Lender, and this Guarantee shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligation, all as though such
application had not been made.
8. Assignment and Postponement. All present and future indebtedness and liabilities of the
Borrower to each Guarantor is hereby assigned by such Guarantor to the Agent and, following
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, postponed to the Obligations
and all moneys received by such Guarantor in respect thereof will be received in trust for and will
be paid over to the Agent upon demand by the Agent. If any Lender receives from any Guarantor
a payment or payments in full or on account of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder, such
Guarantor will not be entitled to claim repayment against the Borrower until the Lender’s claims
against the Borrower have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full. In case of liquidation,
winding-up or bankruptcy of the Borrower (whether voluntary or involuntary) or any composition
with creditors or scheme of arrangement, the Lenders will have the right to rank for their full
claims and receive all dividends or other payments in respect thereof in priority to such Guarantor
until the claims of the Lenders have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full and such
Guarantor will continue to be liable hereunder for any balance which may be owing to the
Lenders by the Borrower. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 will not in any way limit or
lessen the liability of any Guarantor under any other section of this Guarantee.
88
-5-
9. Other Securities. This Guarantee is in addition to and not in substitution for any other guarantee
or any other securities by whomsoever given at any time held by any Lender for any present or
future Obligations and such Lender shall at all times have the right to proceed against or realize
upon all or any portion of any other guarantees or securities or any other money or assets to
which it may become entitled or have a claim in such order and in such manner as it in its sole
and unfettered discretion may deem fit.
10. Continuing Guarantee. Subject to Section 27, this Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and
(a) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until payment in full of all
amounts payable under this Guarantee and termination of the Lenders’ Commitments and
obligations under and pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (b) shall enure to the benefit of each
Lender and its respective successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its
successors and permitted assigns.
11. Enforcement of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be
enforceable by the Agent upon demand by the Agent for payment of the Obligations made after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with the terms
hereof without the necessity of any action or recourse whatsoever against the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other Person. The remedies provided in this Guarantee are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by Applicable Law, the Loan Documents or otherwise.
12. Subrogation. This Guarantee shall not be considered as wholly or partially satisfied by the
payment or liquidation at any time or times of any sum or sums of money for the time being due
or remaining unpaid to any Lender, and all dividends, compensations, proceeds of security
valued and payments received by any Lender from the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other
Person or from any estate shall be regarded for all purposes as payments in gross without any
right on the part of any Guarantor to claim in reduction of the liability under this Guarantee the
benefit of any such dividends, compositions, proceeds or payments or any securities held by any
Lender or proceeds thereof, and no Guarantor shall have any right to be subrogated in any rights
of any Lender until the Lenders shall have received full, final and indefeasible payment and
performance of the Obligations and the Lenders have no further obligation to extend credit or
advance monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower.
13. Foreign Currency Obligations. Each Guarantor will make payment relative to each Obligation in
the currency (the “Original Currency”) in which the Borrower is required to pay such Obligation.
If any Guarantor makes payment relative to any Obligation to a Lender in a currency (the “Other
Currency”) other than the Original Currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or
judgment of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction), such payment will constitute a discharge of the
liability of such Guarantor hereunder in respect of such Obligation only to the extent of the
amount of the Original Currency which such Lender is able to purchase at Calgary, Alberta with
the amount it receives on the date of receipt. If the amount of the Original Currency which such
Lender is able to purchase is less than the amount of such currency originally due to it in respect
of the relevant Obligation, each Guarantor will indemnify and save the Lenders harmless from
and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity will
constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this
Guarantee, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of
any indulgence granted by any Lender and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding
any judgment or order in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.
14. Guarantee of Payment and Performance. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and
performance and not of collection and is in addition and without prejudice to any securities of any
kind now or hereafter held by any Lender.
15. Costs. The Guarantors shall pay to the Agent all legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis
and all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
Lenders from time to time in the enforcement, realization and collection of or in respect of this
89

Guarantee, which for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of legal fees and expenses, should be
limited to the fees and expenses of one separate law firm for the Lenders unless such
representation by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests or the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the applicable
Guarantor in writing and such firm or firms shall be designated in writing by the Agent on behalf of
each Lender. The term “Obligations” herein shall include all such costs and expenses.
16. Payment. All payments hereunder with respect to any Obligations shall be made to the Agent on
behalf of the Lenders at the Agent’s Branch of Account or at such other branch or agency of the
Agent as the Agent shall designate from time to time by notice in writing to the Borrower. All
Obligations shall be payable by the Guarantors on demand, shall from the date of such demand
bear interest at the rate or rates of interest then applicable to the Obligations under and
calculated in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement (including any adjustment to give
effect to the provisions of the Interest Act (Canada)).
17. Payment on Stay. If (a) the Borrower is prevented from making payment of any of the Obligations
when it would otherwise be required to do so; or (b) any Lender is prevented from demanding
payment of the Obligations because of a stay or other judicial proceeding or any other legal
impediment, all Obligations or other amounts otherwise subject to demand, acceleration or
payment shall be payable by the Guarantors as provided for hereunder.
18. Waiver of Notice. Each Guarantor waives all notices which may be required by any statute, rule
of law, contract or otherwise to preserve the rights of any Lender against such Guarantor.
19. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Guarantor hereunder shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim, free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any Tax. If any
Guarantor shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then: (i)
the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 19) the applicable
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made; (ii) the applicable Guarantor shall make such deductions; and (iii) the applicable
Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with Applicable Law.
(b) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the
law of the jurisdiction in which a Guarantor is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a
party, with respect to payments under this Guarantee, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to deliver to the applicable Guarantor, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably
requested by such Guarantor as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
such reduced rate.
(c) If the applicable Lender receives a refund, credit or deduction from a taxing authority
in respect of a payment by any Guarantor of Taxes, such Lender thereupon shall make
commercially reasonable efforts to repay the applicable Guarantor the amount with respect to
such refund, credit or deduction equal to any net reduction in Taxes actually obtained by such
Lender to be attributable to such refund, credit or deduction (net all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses related thereto); provided that, such Guarantor shall, upon a request by the applicable
Lender, return such refund, credit or deduction to such party if such party is required to repay
such amount to the applicable taxing authority.
20. Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction. THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND
ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
THEREOF, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE REMEDIES HEREUNDER ARE
MANDATORILY GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE
90
-7-
OF NEW YORK. Whenever possible, each provision of this Guarantee and any other statement,
instrument, or transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto shall be interpreted so as to be
effective and valid under such applicable law, but if any provision of this Guarantee or any other
statement, instrument, or transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto is held to be
prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision, the
remaining provisions of this Guarantee, or any other statement, instrument, or transaction
contemplated hereby or relating hereto. The parties hereto do hereby irrevocably submit and
attorn to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Alberta for all matters
arising out of or relating to this Guarantee, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by
any thereof, without prejudice to the rights of any Lender to take proceedings in other jurisdictions
in which any assets of a Guarantor may be situate.
21. Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is or becomes prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction does not invalidate, affect or impair the remaining provisions hereof in such
jurisdiction and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction does not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
22. Notices. Any notice or other communication hereunder shall be made in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement.
23. Acknowledgment. Each Guarantor confirms that its obligations under this Guarantee are not
subject to any promise or condition affecting or limiting its liability, and no statement,
representation, collateral agreement or promise by any Lender or by any officer, employee or
agent of it, forms any part of this Guarantee or has induced the making thereof, or shall be
deemed in any way to affect any Guarantor’s liability hereunder.
24. Additional Guarantors. Any Person may become a Guarantor hereunder by executing a
Guarantor Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and delivering the
same to the Agent. Any such Person shall thereafter be a “Guarantor” for all purposes under this
Guarantee, to the same extent as if it were an original signatory hereto.
25. Joint and Several Obligations. Each Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee is joint and several
with all other Guarantors under this Guarantee, and with any other Person who from time to time
guarantees all or any part of the Obligations under any other Loan Document.
26. Waiver of Trial by Jury. The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, any right they may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising
out of or relating to this guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether
based on contract, tort or any other theory). The parties (a) certify that no representative, agent
or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party
would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledge
that they have been induced to enter into this guarantee by, among other things, the waivers and
certifications in this section.
27. Termination and Release. At such time as the Obligations have been unconditionally and
irrevocably paid in full, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate, all without
delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. The Agent shall, at the request
and expense of the Borrower or the Guarantors, execute and deliver to the Borrower or the
Guarantors such documents as the Borrower or the Guarantors shall reasonably request to
evidence any termination or release contemplated by this Section 27. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing provision, each Guarantor shall automatically be released from its
obligations hereunder in the event that the Guarantor is no longer required to be a Loan Party in
accordance with Section 9.5(b) of the Credit Agreement.
91
-8-
28. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Guarantee and the provisions
of the Credit Agreement which cannot be resolved by both provisions being complied with, the
provisions contained in the Credit Agreement will prevail to the extent of such conflict.
29. Counterrart Execution. This Guarantee may be executed by facsimile or other electronic means
and in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts (including by
facsimile or other electronic means, including in pdf format), each of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

any Guarantor or any other Person, or to proceed against or to pursue any other remedy
or recourse in the power of any Lender whatsoever;
(m) the benefit of any law which provides that the obligation of a guarantor must neither be
larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal
obligation or which reduces a guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal
obligations;
(n) any incapacity, lack of authority, or other defence of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any

6. Indemnity. Each Guarantor shall be liable for and shall indemnify and save the Secured Parties
harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities suffered or
incurred by any Lender resulting or arising from or relating to any failure of any other Loan Party
to pay in full or fully perform the Obligations as and when due, provided that the amount of such
indemnification shall not exceed the amount of the Obligations together with any and all other
amounts due and owing hereunder from time to time.
7. Deemed Existence. If at any time, all or any part of any payment previously applied by any
Lender to any Obligation is or must be rescinded or returned to a Lender for any reason
whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other Person) such Obligation shall, for the purpose of this Guarantee, to the
extent that such payment is rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence,
notwithstanding such application by such Lender, and this Guarantee shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligation, all as though such
application had not been made.
8. Assignment and Postponement. All present and future indebtedness and liabilities of the
Borrower to each Guarantor is hereby assigned by such Guarantor to the Agent and, following
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, postponed to the Obligations
and all moneys received by such Guarantor in respect thereof will be received in trust for and will
be paid over to the Agent upon demand by the Agent. If any Lender receives from any Guarantor
a payment or payments in full or on account of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder, such
Guarantor will not be entitled to claim repayment against the Borrower until the Lender’s claims
against the Borrower have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full. In case of liquidation,
winding-up or bankruptcy of the Borrower (whether voluntary or involuntary) or any composition
with creditors or scheme of arrangement, the Secured Parties will have the right to rank for their
full claims and receive all dividends or other payments in respect thereof in priority to such
Guarantor until the claims of the Secured Parties have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid
in full and such Guarantor will continue to be liable hereunder for any balance which may be
owing to the Secured Parties by the Borrower. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 will not
in any way limit or lessen the liability of any Guarantor under any other section of this Guarantee.
9. Other Securities. This Guarantee is in addition to and not in substitution for any other guarantee
or any other securities by whomsoever given at any time held by any Lender for any present or
future Obligations and such Lender shall at all times have the right to proceed against or realize
upon all or any portion of any other guarantees or securities or any other money or assets to
which it may become entitled or have a claim in such order and in such manner as it in its sole
and unfettered discretion may deem fit.
10. Continuing Guarantee. Subject to Section 28, this Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and
(a) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until payment in full of all
amounts payable under this Guarantee and termination of the Secured Parties’ Commitments
and obligations under and pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (b) shall enure to the benefit of
each Lender and its respective successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon each
Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns.
11. Enforcement of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be
enforceable by the Agent upon demand by the Agent for payment of the Obligations made after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with the terms
hereof without the necessity of any action or recourse whatsoever against the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other Person, provided that the recourse of the Agent hereunder is limited to
enforcing its rights and remedies against the security granted under the Pledge Agreement and
no recourse for any such purpose may be had nor will judgement be issued or other process
levied against any other assets or rights of the Guarantors. The remedies provided in this
Guarantee are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Applicable Law, the
Loan Documents or otherwise.
174791/480397
MT DOCS 18630447v2
103
-6-
12. Subrogation. This Guarantee shall not be considered as wholly or partially satisfied by the
payment or liquidation at any time or times of any sum or sums of money for the time being due
or remaining unpaid to any Lender, and all dividends, compensations, proceeds of security
valued and payments received by any Lender from the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other
Person or from any estate shall be regarded for all purposes as payments in gross without any
right on the part of any Guarantor to claim in reduction of the liability under this Guarantee the
benefit of any such dividends, compositions, proceeds or payments or any securities held by any
Lender or proceeds thereof, and no Guarantor shall have any right to be subrogated in any rights
of any Lender until the Secured Parties shall have received full, final and indefeasible payment
and performance of the Obligations and the Secured Parties have no further obligation to extend
credit or advance monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower.
13. Foreign Currency Obligations. Each Guarantor will make payment relative to each Obligation in
the currency (the “Original Currency”) in which the Borrower is required to pay such Obligation.
If any Guarantor makes payment relative to any Obligation to a Lender in a currency (the “Other
Currency”) other than the Original Currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or
judgment of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction), such payment will constitute a discharge of the
liability of such Guarantor hereunder in respect of such Obligation only to the extent of the
amount of the Original Currency which such Lender is able to purchase at Calgary, Alberta with
the amount it receives on the date of receipt. If the amount of the Original Currency which such
Lender is able to purchase is less than the amount of such currency originally due to it in respect
of the relevant Obligation, each Guarantor will indemnify and save the Secured Parties harmless
from and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity will
constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this
Guarantee, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of
any indulgence granted by any Lender and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding
any judgment or order in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.
14. Guarantee of Payment and Performance. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and
performance and not of collection and is in addition and without prejudice to any securities of any
kind now or hereafter held by any Lender.
15. Costs. The Guarantors shall pay to the Agent all legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis
and all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
Secured Parties from time to time in the enforcement, realization and collection of or in respect of
this Guarantee, which for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of legal fees and expenses, should
be limited to the fees and expenses of one separate law firm for the Secured Parties unless such
representation by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests or the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the applicable
Guarantor in writing and such firm or firms shall be designated in writing by the Agent on behalf of
each Lender. The term “Obligations” herein shall include all such costs and expenses.
16. Payment. All payments hereunder with respect to any Obligations shall be made to the Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties at the Agent’s Branch of Account or at such other branch or agency
of the Agent as the Agent shall designate from time to time by notice in writing to the Borrower.
All Obligations shall be payable by the Guarantors on demand, shall from the date of such
demand bear interest at the rate or rates of interest then applicable to the Obligations under and

effect to the provisions of the Interest Act (Canada)).

18. Waiver of Notice. Each Guarantor waives all notices which may be required by any statute, rule
of law, contract or otherwise to preserve the rights of any Lender against such Guarantor.
19. Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by any Guarantor hereunder shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim, free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any Tax. If
any Guarantor shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from such
payments, then: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 19) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made; (ii) the applicable Guarantor shall make
such deductions; and (iii) the applicable Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(b) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the
law of the jurisdiction in which a Guarantor is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Guarantee, it shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the applicable Guarantor, at the time or
times prescribed by Applicable Law, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Guarantor
as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at such reduced rate.
(c) If the applicable Lender receives a refund, credit or deduction from a taxing authority in
respect of a payment by any Guarantor of Taxes, such Lender thereupon shall make
commercially reasonable efforts to repay the applicable Guarantor the amount with
respect to such refund, credit or deduction equal to any net reduction in Taxes actually
obtained by such Lender to be attributable to such refund, credit or deduction (net all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related thereto); provided that, such Guarantor shall,
upon a request by the applicable Lender, return such refund, credit or deduction to such
party if such party is required to repay such amount to the applicable taxing authority.
20. Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction. The parties agree that this Guarantee is
conclusively deemed to be made under, and for all purposes to be governed by and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the Province of Alberta and of Canada applicable therein. There
shall be no application of any conflict of laws or rules which would result in any laws other than
internal laws in force in the Province of Alberta applying to this Guarantee. The parties hereto do
hereby irrevocably submit and attorn to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province
of Alberta for all matters arising out of or relating to this Guarantee, or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or by any thereof, without prejudice to the rights of any Lender to take
proceedings in other jurisdictions in which any assets of a Guarantor may be situate.
21. Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is or becomes prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction does not invalidate, affect or impair the remaining provisions hereof in such
jurisdiction and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction does not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

EXECUTION VERSION
This GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of January 1, 2016, is made by
AEM Emissions Management Ltd., an Alberta corporation (the “Borrower”), 1938247 Alberta Ltd., an
Alberta corporation, AEM Emissions Management Operating Ltd., an Alberta corporation, and AEM
Emissions Management Limited Partnership, a limited partnership registered under the laws of Alberta,
(collectively the “Obligors” and individually an “Obligor”), to and in favour of Alberta Treasury Branches,
as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity or any of its
nominees, the “Agent”) for the banks and other financial institutions (the “Lenders”) from time to time
party to the Credit Agreement.
RECITALS
A. It is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make their respective loans to and
extensions of credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement that the Obligors shall have
executed and delivered this Agreement to the Agent for the rateable benefit of the Agent, the
Lenders, the Swap Lenders, the Creditcard Lenders and Cash Management Lenders (collectively
the “Secured Parties”, and individually a “Secured Party”).
B. Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises herein, to induce the Agent and the Lenders to
enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective loans and
extensions of credit to the Borrower thereunder, and for other valuable consideration the receipt
and sufficiency of which are conclusively acknowledged by the Obligors, each Obligor hereby
agrees with the Agent, for the rateable benefit of the Secured Parties, as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized words and phrases used but not otherwise defined herein have the
meaning ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement. In addition:
(a) “Credit Agreement” means the credit agreement dated as of the date hereof among the
Borrower, as borrower, the Agent and the Lenders, as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time.
(b) “Secured Obligations” has the meaning set forth in the Credit Agreement; and
(c) the terms “chattel paper’, “documents of title”, “goods”, “instruments”, “intangibles”,
“money”, “personal property”, “proceeds” and “investment property” have the
meanings attributed thereto in the Personal Property Security Act (Alberta) (including all
amendments thereto or restatements thereof and regulations thereunder, the “PPSA”).
2. Grant of Security. As general and continuing collateral security for the due payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations, and as security for the performance and observance of
the covenants and agreements on the part of each Obligor herein contained, each Obligor hereby
grants, mortgages, charges and assigns to and in favour of the Agent, for the rateable benefit of
the Secured Parties, as and by way of:
(a) a fixed and specific mortgage, charge and security interest over all of each Obligor’s
present and after-acquired right, title, estate and interest (whether freehold, leasehold,
profit a prendre or otherwise, and whether legal or equitable, corporeal or incorporeal) in
and to all real property described in Schedule A hereto from time to time together with all
buildings, structures, improvements, expansions, erections, works, fixtures and building
materials now or hereafter built, erected, constructed or placed thereon, and all
accretions and accessions thereto, substitutions therefor and any other property placed
upon or associated with, or necessary for the effective use or operation of such property,
and all proceeds from any of the foregoing;
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158771
126
-2-
(b) a first floating mortgage, charge and security interest over all of each Obligor’s present
and after-acquired right, title, estate and interest (whether freehold, leasehold, profit a
prendre or otherwise, and whether legal or equitable, corporeal or incorporeal) in and to
all real property, buildings, structures, improvements, expansions, erections, works and
fixtures, wherever located, and all accretions and accessions thereto, substitutions
therefor, and all proceeds thereof, in each case other than the property validly subject to
the fixed charge created by Section 2(a) above; and
(c) a first priority security interest in all of each Obligor’s right, title, estate and interest in and
to all of its present and after-acquired personal property (both tangible and intangible) of
every nature and kind and wherever situate and all proceeds thereof in the form of goods,
chattel paper, investment property, documents of title, instruments, money or intangibles
(including without limitation each Cash Collateral Account), together with all other
property and undertakings of each Obligor not included in Section 2(a) or 2(b).
In this Agreement, the mortgages, charges and security interests hereby constituted are referred to
collectively as the “Security Interest” and the subject matter of the Security Interest is referred to as
the “Collateral”.
3. Contractual Rights. The Security Interest does not and will not extend to, and the Collateral will
not include, any agreement, right, franchise, license or permit (the “Contractual Rights”) to
which any Obligor is a party or of which any Obligor has the benefit, to the extent that the creation
of the Security Interest herein is expressly prohibited by the terms of the Contractual Rights or
would permit any Person to terminate the Contractual Rights, but such Obligor will hold its
interest therein in trust for the Agent, for its own benefit and on behalf of the Lenders; provided,
however, that the Contractual Rights excluded pursuant to this Section 3 shall be excluded from
the Security Interest to the extent and for so long as such Contractual Rights continues to
expressly prohibit the creation of the Security Interest or would permit any Person to terminate
the Contractual Rights, and upon the expiration of such prohibition or ability to terminate, the
Contractual Rights to which such prohibition previously applied shall automatically be included in
the Security Interest without further action on the part of the Obligors or the Agent.
4. Intellectual Property.
(a) The Security Interest with respect to trade-marks constitutes a security interest in, and a
charge, hypothecation and pledge of, such Collateral in favour of the Agent, for the
rateable benefit of the Secured Parties, but does not constitute an assignment or
mortgage of such Collateral to the Agent or any Secured Party.
(b) Until the Security Interest is enforceable, the grant of the Security Interest in the
Intellectual Property does not affect in any way each Obligor’s rights to commercially
exploit the Intellectual Property, defend it, enforce such Obligor’s rights in it or with
respect to it against third parties in any court or claim and be entitled to receive any
damages with respect to any infringement of it.
(c) At such time as the Agent is lawfully entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under
Section 8, each Obligor grants to the Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive licence
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Obligor) to use,
assign or sublicense any Intellectual Property in which such Obligor has rights wherever
the same may be located, including in such licence access to (i) all media in which any of
the licensed items may be recorded or stored, and (ii) all software and computer
programs used for compilation or print-out. The license granted under this Section is to
enable the Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under Section 8 and for no other
purpose.
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158771
127
-3-
(d) The Agent acknowledges that the standard of quality for the use, assignment or
sublicensing of Intellectual Property of each Obligor shall be no less than the standard of
quality employed by such Obligor as of the day before the exercise of rights and
remedies under Section 8 by the Agent in conjunction with wares and/or services sold in
association with such Intellectual Property.
5. Attachment. Each Obligor confirms that value has been given, that such Obligor has rights in
the Collateral, and that such Obligor and neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party have
agreed to postpone the time for attachment of the Security Interest to any of the Collateral. In
respect of Collateral which is acquired after the date of execution hereof, the time for attachment
will be the time when each Obligor acquires such Collateral. Each Obligor further confirms that
no right or interest it currently owns or is entitled to (including any leasehold or similar interest)
could or would be terminated, impaired or otherwise cease to exist as result of entering into this
Agreement.
6. Last Day of Lease Term Excluded. The last day of the term of any lease, oral or written, or any
agreement therefor, now held or hereafter acquired by each Obligor shall be excepted from the
Security Interest hereof and shall not form part of the Collateral, but each Obligor shall stand
possessed of such one day in trust for the Agent, and shall assign and dispose of the same as
the Agent of such lease or agreement shall direct. The Agent may at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default remove any Obligor as trustee and
appoint another in its place.
7. Crystallization of Floating Charge. Without limiting its rights hereunder to crystallize and fix the
floating charge created by Section 2(b) in any other manner or the powers, rights and remedies of
the Agent hereunder in respect of the Collateral, the Agent may, at any time and from time to
time, crystallize and fix such floating charge in respect of all or a portion of the property subject
thereto by giving notice thereof to an Obligor, without any requirement for further intervention by
the Agent (whether by the taking of possession, the appointment of a receiver or otherwise). To
the extent permitted by any applicable laws, statutes, rules, by-laws and regulations, or any
applicable official directives, orders, judgments and decrees, consents, exemptions, approvals,
licences, guidelines or policies of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of
law) relating to any Person, property, transaction or event, whether applicable in Canada, the
United States of America or any other jurisdiction, as all of the same may be amended or
modified from time to time, (collectively herein, Applicable Law”), but not in limitation of any
occurrences that at law cause a floating charge security to crystallize or become fixed, each
Obligor agrees that the floating charge security created by Section 2(b) shall crystallize and
become fixed immediately and without any requirement for any notice or intervention on the part
of the Agent, if and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Each Obligor shall execute such
further documents, make all filings and registrations, provide such legal opinions and do all acts
reasonably requested by the Agent to give effect to the foregoing. Each Obligor shall, forthwith
on demand being made by the Agent, pay all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by
the Agent, its agents or any other Secured Party in connection with the filing, re-filing, registering,
re-registering, depositing and re-depositing of this Agreement and all such supplementary and
corrective instruments and all additional mortgage and security documents. The fees, costs and
expenses incurred by the Agent, its agents or any other Secured Party hereunder shall be
secured hereby and shall become part of the Secured Obligations.
8. Remedies. Subject to Section 9 hereof and in addition to any other rights, remedies or other
entitlements set forth in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, the Agent will be entitled to
exercise any of the remedies specified below:
(a) Receiver. The Agent may appoint by instrument in writing one or more receivers,
managers or receiver/managers for the Collateral or the business and undertaking of
each Obligor pertaining to the Collateral (a “Receiver”). Any such Receiver will have, in
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158771
128
-4-
addition to any other rights, remedies and powers which a Receiver may have at law, in
equity or by statute, the rights and powers set out in clauses (c) through (f) in this
Section 8. In exercising such rights and powers, any Receiver will act as, and for all
purposes will be deemed to be, the agent of each Obligor, and neither the Agent nor any
other Secured Party will be responsible for any act or default of any Receiver. The Agent
may remove any Receiver and appoint another from time to time.
(b) Right to Have Court Appoint a Receiver. The Agent may, at any time, apply to a court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Receiver, or other official, who may have
powers the same as, greater or lesser than, or otherwise different from, those capable of
being granted to a Receiver appointed by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, or file
proof of claims and other documents with a court of competent jurisdiction in any
proceeding (including any bankruptcy, proposal, reorganization, arrangement, winding-up
or other similar proceeding) relating to each Obligor.
(c) Power of Sale. The Receiver may sell, consign, lease or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral by public auction, private tender, private contract, lease or deferred payment
with or without notice, advertising or any other formality, all of which are hereby waived
by each Obligor. Any Receiver may, at its discretion establish the terms of such
disposition, including terms and conditions as to credit, upset, reserve bid or price. All
payments made pursuant to such dispositions will be credited against the Secured
Obligations only as they are actually received. Any Receiver may buy in, rescind or vary
any contract for the disposition of any Collateral and may dispose of any Collateral
without being answerable for any loss occasioned thereby. Any such disposition may
take place whether or not the Receiver has taken possession of the Collateral.
(d) Pay Liens and Borrow Money. The Agent or any Receiver may pay any liability secured
by any actual or threatened Lien against any Collateral. Any Receiver may borrow
money for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any Collateral or for carrying on
any of the business or undertaking of each Obligor pertaining to the Collateral and may
grant Liens in any Collateral as security for the money so borrowed, in each case in such
amounts, and with such priority, as approved by the Agent and directed by any governing
court. Each Obligor will forthwith upon demand reimburse the Agent and the Receiver,
as applicable, for all such payments and borrowings and such payments and borrowings
will be secured hereby and will be deemed to form part of the Secured Obligations.
(e) Collection by Receiver. The Receiver may seize, collect, realize, maintain, dispose of,
enforce, repair, replace, protect, preserve, substitute, prepare, process, release to third
parties or otherwise deal with (and exercise each Obligor’s rights in) any Collateral in
such manner, upon such terms and conditions and at such time as it deems advisable
without notice to any Obligor, including:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
connection with the Collateral;
(ii) to require each Obligor to deliver possession of the Collateral at such place or
places as directed by the Receiver;
(iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and
chattel paper in connection with Section 8(e)(i) above;
(iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the
Receiver may deem to be necessary or desirable for the collection of the
Collateral or to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of any contract
or any account;
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158771
129
-5-
(v) to cause any or all of the inventory and equipment and, to the extent tangible
property, other goods to be placed in a public or field warehouse; and
(vi) to perform the obligations of each Obligor hereunder and under any of the other
Loan Documents.
(f) Carry on Business. The Receiver may carry on or concur in the carrying on, or cease the
carrying on, of all or any part of the business or undertaking of each Obligor and receive
all proceeds, rents, revenues, profits and any other income thereof, and enter into any
contract it deems reasonable, and may to the exclusion of each Obligor and without
charge by any Obligor enter upon, occupy and use all or any of the premises, buildings,
plants and undertakings of or occupied or used by each Obligor and may use any or all of
the machinery, equipment, tools and other assets of each Obligor for such time as the
Receiver sees fit, free of charge from any Obligor, to carry on the business of each
Obligor and, if applicable, to produce or manufacture or complete the production or
manufacture of any resources or products, to pack and ship or transport the resources or
products, to employ and discharge any Persons upon such terms and remuneration as it
deems appropriate, and generally to have the same rights and powers as each Obligor
would have in carrying on such business were it not in default.
(g) Receipt of Proceeds. The Agent may, by notice to an Obligor, direct it to, and thereupon
such Obligor shall, receive all proceeds of Collateral in trust for the Agent, not commingle
the same with any other property or funds of that Obligor and, unless the Agent shall
have otherwise instructed such Obligor, deliver or cause to be delivered all such
proceeds in the exact form received, together with any necessary endorsements, to the
Agent or to such Person or Persons as the Agent may designate.
(h) Pay Indebtedness. The Agent or any Receiver may pay all or any part of any
indebtedness of each Obligor, whether prior to or subordinate to the Security Interest,
with any such payment being included in the expenses of realization of the Agent.
(i) Foreclosure. The Agent or any Receiver may foreclose (by either an order for
foreclosure or an order for judicial sale) upon the Collateral pursuant to Applicable Law.
(j) Commence Actions. The Agent or any Receiver may commence and proceed with any
actions or judicial proceedings seeking such legal and/or equitable remedies as the
Agent or Receiver deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights hereunder and in the
Collateral, and may settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Obligor (as
such term is defined below in subparagraph (k)(vi)) for amounts and on terms that the
Agent considers advisable.
(k) Assigned Accounts. With respect to all debts, accounts, claims, moneys, receivables and
other similar items of personal property assigned and transferred to the Agent hereunder
(the “Assigned Accounts”):
(i) Collection. The Agent may collect, realize, sell or otherwise deal with the
Assigned Accounts or any part thereof in such manner, upon such terms and
conditions and at such time or times as may seem to it advisable and without
notice to any Obligor (except as otherwise required by Applicable Law);
(ii) Not Bound to Collect. The Agent shall not be liable or accountable for any failure
to collect, realize, sell or otherwise deal with or obtain payment of the Assigned
Accounts or any part thereof and shall not be bound to institute proceedings for
the purpose of collecting, realizing, selling or otherwise dealing with or obtaining
174791/480397
MT DOGS 15158771

-6-
payment of the same or for the purpose of preserving any rights of the Agent,
any Obligor or any other Person in respect of the same;
(iii) Application. All moneys collected or received by the Agent in respect of the
Assigned Accounts may be applied on account of such parts of the Secured
Obligations as the Agent in its discretion determines in accordance with the
Credit Agreement or, in the discretion of the Agent, may be held in a separate
collateral account for such time as the Agent sees fit, or released to an Obligor;
(v) Information. Each Obligor shall from time to time forthwith on request of the
Agent furnish to the Agent any information relating to the Assigned Accounts,
and the Agent shall be entitled from time to time to inspect any documents
pertaining thereto and take temporary custody thereof;
(vi) Notifications. The Agent may at any time notify any account debtor (an
Account Obligor”) to make payment of the Assigned Accounts to or to the
order of the Agent; and
(vii) Control of Proceeds. The Agent may take control of any proceeds of the
Assigned Accounts.
(I) Retention of Collateral. The Agent may elect to retain any Collateral in satisfaction of, or
partial satisfaction of, the Secured Obligations. The Agent may designate any part of the
Secured Obligations to be satisfied by the retention of particular Collateral which the
Agent considers to have a net realizable value approximating the amount of the
designated part of the Secured Obligations, in which case only the designated part of the
Secured Obligations will be deemed to be satisfied by the retention of the particular
Collateral. The Agent may also exercise any remedies in accordance with the PPSA.
(m) Limitation of Liability. Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party or a Receiver will
be liable or accountable for any failure to take possession of, seize, collect, realize,
dispose of, enforce or otherwise deal with any Collateral and none of them will be bound
to institute proceedings for any such purposes or for the purpose of reserving or
preserving any rights, remedies and powers of the Agent, any Obligor or any other
person or entity in respect of any Collateral. If any Receiver or the Agent takes
possession of any Collateral, neither the Agent nor any Receiver will have any liability as
a mortgagee in possession or be accountable for anything except actual receipts.
(n) Extensions of Time. The Agent may grant renewals, extensions of time and other
indulgences, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges, and otherwise deal or
fail to deal with any Obligor, debtors of any Obligor, guarantors, sureties and others and
with any Collateral as the Agent may see fit, all without prejudice to the liability of each
Obligor to the Agent or the Agent’s rights, remedies and powers under this Agreement,
any other Loan Documents, at law, or in equity.
(o) Validity of Sale. No Person dealing with the Agent or any Receiver, or with any officer,
employee, agent or solicitor of the Agent or any Receiver will be concerned to inquire
whether the Security Interest has become enforceable, whether the right, remedy or
power of the Agent or the Receiver has become exercisable, whether any Secured
Obligations remains outstanding, or otherwise as to the proprietary or regularity of any
dealing by the Agent or the Receiver with any Collateral or to see to the application of
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158771
131
-7-
any money paid to the Agent or the Receiver, and in the absence of fraud on the part of
such Person such dealings will be deemed, as regards such Person, to be within the
rights, remedies and powers hereby conferred and to be valid and effective accordingly.
(p) Effect of Appointment of Receiver. As soon as the Agent takes possession of any
Collateral or appoints a Receiver, all powers, functions, rights and privileges of the
applicable Obligor including any such powers, functions, rights and privileges which have
been delegated to directors, officers of such Obligor or committees with respect to such
Collateral will cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of the Agent or
the Receiver.
(q) Time for Payment. If the Agent demands payment of any Secured Obligations that are
payable on demand or if any Secured Obligations are otherwise due by maturity or
acceleration, it will be deemed reasonable for the Agent to exercise its remedies
immediately if such payment is not made, and any days of grace or any time for payment
that might otherwise be required to be afforded to any Obligor at law or in equity is
hereby irrevocably waived by each Obligor.
(r) No Implied Waiver. The rights of the Agent (whether arising under this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, any other agreement or at law or in equity) will not be capable of
being waived or varied otherwise than by an express waiver or variation in writing, and
each such waiver shall apply only to the specific matter being waived and shall not
constitute a waiver of any other right, and in particular any failure to exercise or any delay
in exercising any of such rights will not operate as a waiver or variation of that or any
other such right; any defective or partial exercise of any of such rights will not preclude
any other or further exercise of that or any other such right, and no act or course of
conduct or negotiation on the part of the Agent or on its behalf will in any way preclude
the Agent from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any variation of
any such right.
(s) Rights Cumulative. The rights, remedies and powers conferred by this Section 8 are in
addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights, remedies or powers that the
Agent or any other Secured Party may have under any other Loan Document, at law, in
equity or by or under the PPSA or any other statute or agreement. The Agent may
proceed by way of any action, suit or other proceeding at law or in equity and no right,
remedy or power of the Agent will be exclusive of, or dependent on, any other. The
Agent may exercise any of its rights, remedies or powers separately or in combination
and at any time.
(t) Indemnity. Each Obligor shall indemnify and save harmless the Agent and each other
Secured Party from and against any and all demands, damages, liabilities, claims,
actions and reasonable and properly documented costs and charges whatsoever and
howsoever suffered or incurred by the Agent or any other Secured Party as a result of the
acts of any Receiver appointed pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 8.
(a) Each Obligor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Agent for all its
costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Obligor under the grant of security
contained in Section 2 (as applicable) or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Obligor is a party,
including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the
allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Secured Party and of counsel
to the Agent.
174791/480397

-8-
(b) Each Obligor agrees to pay, and to save the Agent and the Secured Parties harmless
from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and
all Excluded Taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to
any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(c) Each Obligor agrees to pay, and to save the Agent and the Secured Parties harmless
from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to
the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement.
(d) The agreements in this Section 9 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and
all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10. Application of Amounts Received. Each Obligor and the Agent agree that the proceeds arising
from any enforcement of this Agreement (whether by the Agent or any Receiver) that are
received by the Agent will be applied in the following order:
(a) first, to the payment in full of all fees of the Agent and all out-of-pocket costs, fees and
expenses (including all legal fees on a solicitor and his own client full indemnity basis)
incurred by the Agent, any other Secured Party, or any Receiver or other enforcement
agent appointed by the Agent or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, in
connection with the collection or enforcement of the Secured Obligations owed to the
Agent, as applicable, the enforcement of the Security Interests or the preservation of the
Collateral; and
(b) second, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit
Agreement.
11. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Agents sole duty with
respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of Collateral in its possession or
under its control will be to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such Collateral.
Each Obligor agrees that the Agent will be deemed to have used reasonable care in the custody
and preservation of Collateral if the Agent deals with such Collateral in the same manner as the
Agent deals with similar property for its own account and, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, the Agent need not take any steps to preserve rights against any other Person (including
prior parties). Neither the Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective directors,
officers, employees or agents will be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so or will be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral upon the request of any Obligor or otherwise.
12. No Liability. The Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by it in good
faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except
for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct, The Agent shall have the right to rely on any
instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be
taken by the Agent hereunder, believed by the Agent in good faith to be genuine. All moneys
received by the Agent under this Agreement shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be
held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any
manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by Applicable Law), and the Agent
shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. Each Obligor
hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the Agent or its substitutes shall do lawfully by
virtue hereof.
13. Obligor Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Obligor shall
remain liable with respect to and under all Collateral (including all of its duties and obligations
arising under any leases, licenses, permits, reservations, contracts, agreements, instruments,
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158771
133
-9-
contractual rights and government orders, authorizations, licenses and permits now or hereafter
pertaining thereto) to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the
exercise by the Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Obligor from any of its
duties or obligations with respect to or under any Collateral, and (c) neither the Agent nor any
other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to or under any Collateral by
reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform
any of the obligations or duties of any Obligor thereunder or to take any action to collect or
enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as rendering the Agent or any
other Secured Party liable, directly or indirectly, for any obligations of an Obligor under any
agreement, instrument, permit, lease, license or other document subject to the Security Interest
hereof, or any judgment, decree or order of any Governmental Authority.
14. Representations. Each Obligor represents and warrants to the Agent and acknowledges that
the Agent and each other Secured Party is relying on these representations and warranties
without independent inquiry in entering into the Loan Documents:
(a) each Obligor’s chief executive office is located in the Province of Alberta; and
(b) each Obligor (i) has a good and beneficial title to its interest in the Collateral; (ii) has the
right to mortgage its interest in the Collateral; (iii) on enforcement, the Agent shall have
quiet possession of its interest in the Collateral, free from all Liens except for Permitted
Encumbrance; and (iv) it has done no act to encumber its interest in the Collateral except
as has otherwise been agreed in writing with the Agent or otherwise permitted by the
Credit Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as subordination by the Agent or any other Secured
Party of the Security Interest to any of the Permitted Encumbrance, it being the intent that all
Security Interests shall be a first priority security interest.
15. Covenants. Each Obligor covenants and agrees with the Agent that:
(a) Further Documentation; Pledge of Instruments. At any time and from time to time, upon
the written request of the Agent, and at the sole expense of the Obligors, each Obligor
will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and
take such further action as the Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of
obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers
herein granted, including the filing or execution of any financing or financing change
statements under any Applicable Law with respect to the Security Interest. Each Obligor
also hereby authorizes the Agent to file any such financing or financing change statement
without the signature of any Obligor to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Obligor agrees that the Agent will have the
right, acting reasonably, to require that this Agreement be amended or supplemented:
(i) to reflect any changes in Applicable Law, whether arising as a result of statutory
amendments, court decisions or otherwise; (ii) to facilitate the creation and registration of
appropriate security in all appropriate jurisdictions; or (iii) if any Obligor amalgamates with
any other Person or enters into any reorganization, in each case in order to confer upon
the Agent the Security Interest intended to be created hereby.
(b) Further Identification of Collateral. Each Obligor will furnish to the Agent from time to
time such statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Agent may reasonably request,
all to the extent necessary to permit the Collateral to be sufficiently described.
16. Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. Upon the Security Interest becoming enforceable,
each Obligor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158771
134
-10-
thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of such Obligor and in the name of such Obligor or in
its own name, from time to time in the Agents reasonable discretion, for the purpose of carrying
out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all
documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement and which such Obligor being required to take or execute has failed to take or
execute. Each Obligor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys will lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and will be
irrevocable until the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and
performed in full. Each Obligor also authorizes the Agent, at any time and from time to time, to
execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with
respect to the Collateral in connection with the sale provided for in Section 8(c) hereof.
17. No Impairment. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Security Interest shall not be
impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release which may be granted, including any renewal,
extension or modification which may be granted with respect to any Secured Obligations, or any
surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which may be
granted in respect of the Collateral, or any part thereof or any interest therein, or any release or
indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Secured Obligations.
18. Waiver. Each Obligor hereby expressly waives demand for payment, presentment, protest and
notice of dishonour of this Agreement. Any failure or omission by the Agent to present this
Agreement for payment, protest or provide notice of dishonour will not invalidate or adversely
affect in any way any demand for payment or enforcement proceeding taken under this
Agreement.
19. Expenses. Each Obligor agrees to pay the Agent forthwith on demand all costs, charges and
expenses, including without limitation all legal fees (on a solicitor and his own client full indemnity
basis) incurred by the Agent in connection with the administration, recovery or enforcement of
payment of any amounts payable hereunder whether by realization or otherwise. All such sums
will be secured hereby and will be added to the Secured Obligations and bear interest at the rate
set forth in the Credit Agreement.
20. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions
hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
21. Interpretation. The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the
interpretation hereof. When used in this Agreement, the word “including” means “including
without limitation”. Any reference in this Agreement to any statute will include all regulations
thereunder from time to time, and will include such statute as the same may be amended,
supplemented or replaced from time to time.
22. Enurement and Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon each Obligor and its
successors and will enure to the benefit of the Agent and its successors and assigns. No Obligor
will assign this Agreement without the Agent’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in its
sole discretion. In the event the ownership of the Collateral or any part thereof becomes vested
in a Person other than an Obligor, then, without notice to any Obligor, such successor or
successors in interest may be dealt with, with reference to this Agreement and to the
indebtedness secured hereby, in the same manner as with the Obligors, without in any way
vitiating or discharging any Obligor’s liability hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness or
performance of the obligations secured hereby.
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158771
135
-11-
23. Non-Exclusivity of Remedies. This Agreement and the Security Interest are in addition to and
not in substitution for any other security now or hereafter held by the Agent in respect of any
Obligor, the Secured Obligations or the Collateral. No remedy for the enforcement of the rights of
the Agent hereunder will be exclusive of or dependent on any other such remedy but any one or
more of such remedies may from time to time be exercised independently or in combination. The
Agent will not be obliged to exhaust its recourse against any Obligor, any other party or surety or
any other security it may hold with respect to the Secured Obligations before realizing upon or
otherwise dealing with this Agreement in such manner in the Agents discretion. The Agent may
grant extensions of time or other indulgences, take and give up securities, accept compositions,
grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with each Obligor and with other parties,
sureties or securities in its discretion, without prejudice to the liability of any Obligor in respect of
this Agreement.
24. No Merger. The Agreement will not operate by way of merger of any of the Secured Obligations
and no judgment recovered by the Agent will operate by way of merger of or in any way affect the
security of this Agreement which is in addition to and not in substitution for any other security now
or hereafter held by the Agent or any other Secured Party with respect to the Secured
Obligations.
25. Governing Law; Attornment. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable therein, without giving
effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. Without prejudice to the ability of the Agent to
enforce this Agreement in any other proper jurisdiction, each Obligor hereby irrevocably submits
and attorns to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Alberta, or any
appellate court thereof, for the purposes of this Agreement.
26. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be given in the manner
and subject to the terms of Section 14.8 of the Credit Agreement.
27. Inconsistency. To the extent that there is any inconsistency or ambiguity between the
provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and this Agreement, then, as
between each Obligor and the Agent, the provisions of the Credit Agreement or such other Loan
Document will govern to the extent necessary to eliminate such inconsistency or ambiguity. For
certainty, if there is any right or remedy of the Agent set forth in this Agreement which is not set
forth in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or if there is any right or remedy of
the Agent set forth in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document which is not set forth in
this Agreement, the existence of such additional right or remedy shall not constitute a conflict.
28. Termination. This Agreement and the security interest created hereunder will terminate when
the Collateral is no longer subject to the security interest in accordance with the Credit
Agreement. Upon such termination any Collateral then in the custody of the Agent or its nominee
must be re-delivered to each Obligor as soon as practicable and the Agent will execute and
deliver to such Obligor such financing statements and other documents or instruments as such
Obligor may reasonably require.
29. Time of the Essence. Time will be of the essence in this Agreement.
30. Counterparts and Facsimile. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts
(including by pdf or other electronic means), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but
all such separate counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
31. Statutory Waivers. Each Obligor acknowledges receipt of an executed copy of this Agreement.
To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Obligor waives all of the rights, benefits
and protections given by the provisions of any existing or future statute which imposes limitations
upon the powers, rights or remedies of a secured party or upon the methods of realization of
security, including without limitation any seize or sue or anti-deficiency statute or any similar
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158771
136
-12-
provisions of any other statute. Each Obligor waives the right to receive from the Agent a copy of
any notices of registration or recordation of this Agreement, including any security notice, caveat,
financing statement, financing change statement or other statement or document filed or
registered at any time in respect of this Agreement, or any verification statement or other
statement or document issued by any registry that confirms or evidences registration or
recordation of or relates to this Agreement. Each Obligor waives the right to receive any amount
that it may now or hereafter be entitled to receive (whether by way of damages, fine, penalty, or
otherwise) by reason of the failure of the Agent to deliver to such Obligor a copy of any financing
statement or any statement issued by any registry that confirms registration of a financing
statement relating to this Agreement.

This GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of October11, 2017, is made by
lnnova Global Holdings Limited Partnership, a limfted partnership registered under the laws of Alberta,
(the “Obligor”), to and in favour of Alberta Treasury Branches, as administrative agent (in such capacity,
together with its successors in such capacity or any of its nominees, the “Agent”) for the banks and other
financial institutions (the “Lenders”) from time to time party to the Credit Agreement.
RECITALS
A. It is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make their respective loans to and
extensions of credit to Innova Global Ltd. (the “Borrower”) under the Credit Agreement that the
Obligor shall have executed and delivered this Agreement to the Agent for the rateable benefit of
the Agent, the Lenders, the Swap Lenders, the Creditcard Lenders and Cash Management
Lenders (collectively the ‘Secured Parties”, and individually a ‘Secured Party”).
B. Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises herein, to induce the Agent and the Lenders to
enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective loans and
extensions of credit to the Borrower thereunder, and for other valuable consideration the receipt
and sufficiency of which are conclusively acknowledged by the Obligor, the Obligor hereby
agrees with the Agent, for the rateable benefit of the Secured Parties, as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized words and phrases used but not otherwise defined herein have the
meaning ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement. In addition:
(a) “Credit Agreement” means the amended and restated credit agreement dated as of
July 21, 2017 among the Borrower, as borrower, the Agent and the Lenders, as amended
by a first amending agreement dated as of October 11, 2017 and as may be further
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
(b) “Secured Obligations” has the meaning set forth in the Credit Agreement; and
(c) the terms “chattel paper”, “documents of title”, “goods”, “instruments”, “intangibles”,
“money”, “personal property”, “proceeds” and “investment property” have the
meanings attributed thereto in the Personal Property Security Act (Alberta) (including all
amendments thereto or restatements thereof and regulations thereunder, the “PPSA”).
2. Grant of Security. As general and continuing collateral security for the due payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations, and as security for the performance and observance of
the covenants and agreements on the part of the Obligor herein contained, the Obligor hereby
grants, mortgages, charges and assigns to and in favour of the Agent, for the rateable benefit of
the Secured Parties, as and by way of:
(a) a fixed and specific mortgage, charge and security interest over all of the Obligor’s
present and after-acquired right, title, estate and interest (whether freehold, leasehold,
profit a prendre or otherwise, and whether legal or equitable, corporeal or incorporeal) in
and to all real property described in Schedule A hereto from time to time together with all
buildings, structures, improvements, expansions, erections, works, fixtures and building
materials now or hereafter built, erected, constructed or placed thereon, and all
accretions and accessions thereto, substitutions therefor and any other property placed
upon or associated with, or necessary for the effective use or operation of such property,
and all proceeds from any of the foregoing;
(b) a first floating mortgage, charge and security interest over all of the Obligor’s present and
after-acquired right, title, estate and interest (whether freehold, leasehold, profit a prendre
721 665 v2
166
-2-
or otherwise, and whether legal or equitable, corporeal or incorporeal) in and to all real
property, buildings, structures, improvements, expansions, erections, works and fixtures,
wherever located, and all accretions and accessions thereto, substitutions therefor, and
all proceeds thereof, in each case other than the property validly subject to the fixed
charge created by Section 2(a) above; and
(c) a first priority security interest in all of the Obligor’s right, title, estate and interest in and to
all of its present and after-acquired personal property (both tangible and intangible) of
every nature and kind and wherever situate and all proceeds thereof in the form of goods,
chattel paper, investment property, documents of title, instruments, money or intangibles
(including without limitation each Cash Collateral Account), together with all other
property and undertakings of the Obligor not included in Section 2(a) or 2(b).
In this Agreement, the mortgages, charges and security interests hereby constituted are referred to
collectively as the “Security Interest” and the subject matter of the Security Interest is referred to as
the ‘Collateral”.
3. Contractual Rights. The Security Interest does not and will not extend to, and the Collateral will
not include, any agreement, right, franchise, license or permit (the “Contractual Rights”) to
which the Obligor is a party or of which the Obligor has the benefit, to the extent that the creation
of the Security Interest herein is expressly prohibited by the terms of the Contractual Rights or
would permit any Person to terminate the Contractual Rights, but the Obligor will hold its interest
therein in trust for the Agent, for its own benefit and on behalf of the Lenders; provided, however,
that the Contractual Rights excluded pursuant to this Section 3 shall be excluded from the
Security Interest to the extent and for so long as such Contractual Rights continues to expressly
prohibit the creation of the Security Interest or would permit any Person to terminate the
Contractual Rights, and upon the expiration of such prohibition or ability to terminate, the
Contractual Rights to which such prohibition previously applied shall automatically be included in
the Security Interest without further action on the part of the Obligor or the Agent.
4. Intellectual Property.
(a) The Security Interest with respect to trade-marks constitutes a security interest in, and a
charge, hypothecation and pledge of, such Collateral in favour of the Agent, for the
rateable benefit of the Secured Parties, but does not constitute an assignment or
mortgage of such Collateral to the Agent or any Secured Party.
(b) Until the Security Interest is enforceable, the grant of the Security Interest in the
Intellectual Property does not affect in any way the Obligor’s rights to commercially
exploit the Intellectual Property, defend it, enforce the Obligor’s rights in it or with respect
to it against third part?es in any court or claim and be entitled to receive any damages
with respect to any infringement of it.
(C) At such time as the Agent is lawfully entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under
Section 8, the Obligor grants to the Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive licence
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Obligor) to use,
assign or sublicense any Intellectual Property in which the Obligor has rights wherever
the same may be located, including in such licence access to (i) all media in which any of
the licensed items may be recorded or stored, and (ii) all software and computer
programs used for compilation or print-out. The license granted under this Section is to
enable the Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under Section 8 and for no other
purpose.
(d) The Agent acknowledges that the standard of quality for the use, assignment or
sublicensing of Intellectual Property of the Obligor shall be no less than the standard of
71665v2
167
-3-
quality employed by the Obligor as of the day before the exercise of rights and remedies
under Section 8 by the Agent in conjunction with wares and/or services sold in
association with such Intellectual Property.
5. Attachment. The Obligor confirms that value has been given, that the Obligor has rights in the
Collateral, and neither the Agent, the Obligor nor any other Secured Party have agreed to
postpone the time for attachment of the Security Interest to any of the Collateral. In respect of
Collateral which is acquired after the date of execution hereof, the time for attachment will be the
time when the Obligor acquires such Collateral. The Obligor further confirms that no right or
interest it currently owns or is entitled to (including any leasehold or similar interest) could or
would be terminated, impaired or otherwise cease to exist as result of entering into this
Agreement.
6. Last Day of Lease Term Excluded. The last day of the term of any lease, oral or written, or any
agreement therefor, now held or hereafter acquired by the Obligor shall be excepted from the
Security Interest hereof and shall not form part of the Collateral, but the Obligor shall stand
possessed of such one day in trust for the Agent, and shall assign and dispose of the same as
the Agent of such lease or agreement shall direct. The Agent may at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default remove the Obligor as trustee and
appoint another in its place.
7. Crystallization of Floating Charge. Without limiting its rights hereunder to crystallize and fix the
floating charge created by Section 2(b) in any other manner or the powers, rights and remedies of
the Agent hereunder in respect of the Collateral, the Agent may, at any time and from time to
time, crystallize and fix such floating charge in respect of all or a portion of the property subject
thereto by giving notice thereof to the Obligor, without any requirement for further intervention by
the Agent (whether by the taking of possession, the appointment of a receiver or otherwise). To
the extent permitted by any applicable laws, statutes, rules, by-laws and regulations, or any
applicable official directives, orders, judgments and decrees, consents, exemptions, approvals,
licences, guidelines or policies of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of
law) relating to any Person, property, transaction or event, whether applicable in Canada, the
United States of America or any other jurisdiction, as all of the same may be amended or
modified from time to time, (collectively herein, “Applicable Law”), but not in limitation of any
occurrences that at law cause a floating charge security to crystallize or become fixed, the
Obligor agrees that the floating charge security created by Section 2(b) shall crystallize and
become fixed immediately and without any requirement for any notice or intervention on the part
of the Agent, if and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. The Obligor shall execute such
further documents, make all filings and registrations, provide such legal opinions and do all acts
reasonably requested by the Agent to give effect to the foregoing. The Obligor shall, forthwith on
demand being made by the Agent, pay all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the
Agent, its agents or any other Secured Party in connection with the filing, re-filing, registering,
re-registering, depositing and re-depositing of this Agreement and all such supplementary and
corrective instruments and all additional mortgage and security documents. The fees, costs and
expenses incurred by the Agent, its agents or any other Secured Party hereunder shall be
secured hereby and shall become part of the Secured Obligations.
8. Remedies. Subject to Section 9 hereof and in addition to any other rights, remedies or other
entitlements set forth in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, the Agent will be entitled to
exercise any of the remedies specified below:
(a) Receiver. The Agent may appoint by instrument in writing one or more receivers,
managers or receiver/managers for the Collateral or the business and undertaking of the
Obligor pertaining to the Collateral (a “Receiver”). Any such Receiver will have, in
addition to any other rights, remedies and powers which a Receiver may have at law, in
equity or by statute, the rights and powers set out in clauses (c) through (f) in this
721665 2
168
-4-
Section 8. In exercising such rights and powers, any Receiver will act as, and for all
purposes will be deemed to be, the agent of the Obligor, and neither the Agent nor any
other Secured Party will be responsible for any act or default of any Receiver. The Agent
may remove any Receiver and appoint another from time to time.
(b) Right to Have Court Aoint a Receiver. The Agent may, at any time, apply to a court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Receiver, or other official, who may have
powers the same as, greater or lesser than, or otherwise different from, those capable of
being granted to a Receiver appointed by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, or file
proof of claims and other documents with a court of competent jurisdiction in any
proceeding (including any bankruptcy, proposal, reorganization, arrangement, winding-up
or other similar proceeding) relating to the Obligor.
(c) Power of Sale. The Receiver may sell, consign, lease or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral by public auction, private tender, private contract, lease or deferred payment
with or without notice, advertising or any other formality, all of which are hereby waived
by the Obligor. Any Receiver may, at its discretion establish the terms of such
disposition, including terms and conditions as to credit, upset, reserve bid or price. All
payments made pursuant to such dispositions will be credited against the Secured
Obligations only as they are actually received. Any Receiver may buy in, rescind or vary
any contract for the disposition of any Collateral and may dispose of any Collateral
without being answerable for any loss occasioned thereby. Any such disposition may
take place whether or not the Receiver has taken possession of the Collateral.
(d) Pay Liens and Borrow Money. The Agent or any Receiver may pay any liability secured
by any actual or threatened Lien against any Collateral. Any Receiver may borrow
money for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any Collateral or for carrying on
any of the business or undertaking of the Obligor pertaining to the Collateral and may
grant Liens in any Collateral as security for the money so borrowed, in each case in such
amounts, and with such priority, as approved by the Agent and directed by any governing
court. The Obligor will forthwith upon demand reimburse the Agent and the Receiver, as
applicable, for all such payments and borrowings and such payments and borrowings will
be secured hereby and will be deemed to form part of the Secured Obligations.
(e) Collection by Receiver. The Receiver may seize, collect, realize, maintain, dispose of,
enforce, repair, replace, protect, preserve, substitute, prepare, process, release to third
parties or otherwise deal with (and exercise the Obligor’s rights in) any Collateral in such
manner, upon such terms and conditions and at such time as it deems advisable without
notice to the Obligor, including:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
connection with the Collateral;
(ii) to require the Obligor to deliver possession of the Collateral at such place or
places as directed by the Receiver;
(iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and
chattel paper in connection with Section 8(e)(i) above;
(iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the
Receiver may deem to be necessary or desirable for the collection of the
Collateral or to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of any contract
or any account;
721665 v2
169
-5-
(v) to cause any or all of the inventory and equipment and, to the extent tangible
property, other goods to be placed in a public or field warehouse; and
(vi) to perform the obligations of the Obligor hereunder and under any of the other
Loan Documents.
(f) Carry on Business. The Receiver may carry on or concur in the carrying on, or cease the
carrying on, of all or any part of the business or undertaking of the Obligor and receive all
proceeds, rents, revenues, profits and any other income thereof, and enter into any
contract it deems reasonable, and may to the exclusion of the Obligor and without charge
by the Obligor enter upon, occupy and use all or any of the premises, buildings, plants
and undertakings of or occupied or used by the Obligor and may use any or all of the
machinery, equipment, tools and other assets of the Obligor for such time as the
Receiver sees fit, free of charge from the Obligor, to carry on the business of the Obligor
and, if applicable, to produce or manufacture or complete the production or manufacture
of any resources or products, to pack and ship or transport the resources or products, to
employ and discharge any Persons upon such terms and remuneration as it deems
appropriate, and generally to have the same rights and powers as the Obligor would have
in carrying on such business were it not in default.
(g) Receipt of Proceeds. The Agent may, by notice to the Obligor, direct it to, and thereupon
the Obligor shall, receive all proceeds of Collateral in trust for the Agent, not commingle
the same with any other property or funds of the Obligor and, unless the Agent shall have
otherwise instructed the Obligor, deliver or cause to be delivered all such proceeds in the
exact form received, together with any necessary endorsements, to the Agent or to such
Person or Persons as the Agent may designate.
(h) Pay Indebtedness. The Agent or any Receiver may pay all or any part of any
indebtedness of the Obligor, whether prior to or subordinate to the Security Interest, with
any such payment being included in the expenses of realization of the Agent.
(i) Foreclosure. The Agent or any Receiver may foreclose (by either an order for
foreclosure or an order for judicial sale) upon the Collateral pursuant to Applicable Law.
(j) Commence Actions. The Agent or any Receiver may commence and proceed with any
actions or judicial proceedings seeking such legal and/or equitable remedies as the
Agent or Receiver deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights hereunder and in the
Collateral, and may settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Obligor (as
such term is defined below in subparagraph (k)(vi)) for amounts and on terms that the
Agent considers advisable.
(k) Assigned Accounts. With respect to all debts, accounts, claims, moneys, receivables and
other similar items of personal property assigned and transferred to the Agent hereunder
(the “Assigned Accounts”):
(i) Collection. The Agent may collect, realize, sell or otherwise deal with the
Assigned Accounts or any part thereof in such manner, upon such terms and
conditions and at such time or times as may seem to it advisable and without
notice to the Obligor (except as otherwise required by Applicable Law);
(ii) Not Bound to Collect. The Agent shall not be liable or accountable for any failure
to collect, realize, sell or otherwise deal with or obtain payment of the Assigned
Accounts or any part thereof and shall not be bound to institute proceedings for
the purpose of collecting, realizing, selling or otherwise dealing with or obtaining
721665 v2
170
-6-
payment of the same or for the purpose of preserving any rights of the Agent, the
Obligor or any other Person in respect of the same;
(iii) Application. All moneys collected or received by the Agent in respect of the
Assigned Accounts may be applied on account of such parts of the Secured
Obligations as the Agent in its discretion determines in accordance with the
Credit Agreement or, in the discretion of the Agent, may be held in a separate
collateral account for such time as the Agent sees fit, or released to the Obligor;
(iv) Trustee. All moneys collected or received by the Obligor in respect of the
Assigned Accounts shall be held in trust by the Obligor for the benefit of the
Agent, and paid over to the Agent forthwith;
(v) Information. The Obligor shall from time to time forthwith on request of the Agent
furnish to the Agent any information relating to the Assigned Accounts, and the
Agent shall be entitled from time to time to inspect any documents pertaining
thereto and take temporary custody thereof;
(vi) Notifications. The Agent may at any time notify any account debtor (an
“Account Obligor”) to make payment of the Assigned Accounts to or to the
order of the Agent; and
(vii) Control of Proceeds. The Agent may take control of any proceeds of the
Assigned Accounts.
(I) Retention of Collateral. The Agent may elect to retain any Collateral in satisfaction of, or
partial satisfaction of, the Secured Obligations. The Agent may designate any part of the
Secured Obligations to be satisfied by the retention of particular Collateral which the
Agent considers to have a net realizable value approximating the amount of the
designated part of the Secured Obligations, in which case only the designated part of the
Secured Obligations will be deemed to be satisfied by the retention of the particular
Collateral. The Agent may also exercise any remedies in accordance with the PPSA.
(m) Limitation of Liability. Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party or a Receiver will
be liable or accountable for any failure to take possession of, seize, collect, realize,
dispose of, enforce or otherwise deal with any Collateral and none of them will be bound
to institute proceedings for any such purposes or for the purpose of reserving or
preserving any rights, remedies and powers of the Agent, the Obligor or any other person
or entity in respect of any Collateral. If any Receiver or the Agent takes possession of
any Collateral, neither the Agent nor any Receiver will have any liability as a mortgagee
in possession or be accountable for anything except actual receipts.
(n) Extensions of Time. The Agent may grant renewals, extensions of time and other
indulgences, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges, and otherwise deal or
fail to deal with the Obligor, debtors of the Obligor, guarantors, sureties and others and
with any Collateral as the Agent may see fit, all without prejudice to the liability of the
Obligor to the Agent or the Agent’s rights, remedies and powers under this Agreement,
any other Loan Documents, at law, or in equity.
(o) Validity of Sale. No Person dealing with the Agent or any Receiver, or with any officer,
employee, agent or solicitor of the Agent or any Receiver will be concerned to inquire
whether the Security Interest has become enforceable, whether the right, remedy or
power of the Agent or the Receiver has become exercisable, whether any Secured
Obligations remains outstanding, or otherwise as to the proprietary or regularity of any
dealing by the Agent or the Receiver with any Collateral or to see to the application of
721665 v2
171
-7-
any money paid to the Agent or the Receiver, and in the absence of fraud on the part of
such Person such dealings will be deemed, as regards such Person, to be within the
rights, remedies and powers hereby conferred and to be valid and effective accordingly.
(p) Effect of Appointment of Receiver. As soon as the Agent takes possession of any
Collateral or appoints a Receiver, all powers, functions, rights and privileges of the
Obligor including any such powers, functions, rights and privileges which have been
delegated to directors, officers of the Obligor or committees with respect to such
Collateral will cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of the Agent or
the Receiver.
(q) Time for Payment. If the Agent demands payment of any Secured Obligations that are
payable on demand or if any Secured Obligations are otherwise due by maturity or
acceleration, it will be deemed reasonable for the Agent to exercise its remedies
immediately if such payment is not made, and any days of grace or any time for payment
that might otherwise be required to be afforded to the Obligor at law or in equity is hereby
irrevocably waived by the Obligor.
(r) No Implied Waiver. The rights of the Agent (whether arising under this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, any other agreement or at law or in equity) will not be capable of
being waived or varied otherwise than by an express waiver or variation in writing, and
each such waiver shall apply only to the specific matter being waived and shall not
constitute a waiver of any other right, and in particular any failure to exercise or any delay
in exercising any of such rights will not operate as a waiver or variation of that or any
other such right; any defective or partial exercise of any of such rights will not preclude
any other or further exercise of that or any other such right, and no act or course of
conduct or negotiation on the part of the Agent or on its behalf will in any way preclude
the Agent from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any variation of
any such right.
(s) Rights Cumulative. The rights, remedies and powers conferred by this Section 8 are in
addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights, remedies or powers that the
Agent or any other Secured Party may have under any other Loan Document, at law, in
equity or by or under the PPSA or any other statute or agreement. The Agent may
proceed by way of any action, suit or other proceeding at law or in equity and no right,
remedy or power of the Agent will be exclusive of, or dependent on, any other. The
Agent may exercise any of its rights, remedies or powers separately or in combination
and at any time.
(t) Indemnity. The Obligor shall indemnify and save harmless the Agent and each other

(d) The agreements in this Section 9 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and
all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10. Application of Amounts Received. The Obligor and the Agent agree that the proceeds arising
from any enforcement of this Agreement (whether by the Agent or any Receiver) that are
received by the Agent will be applied in the following order:
(a) first, to the payment in full of all fees of the Agent and all out-of-pocket costs, fees and
expenses (including all legal fees on a solicitor and his own client full indemnity basis)
incurred by the Agent, any other Secured Party, or any Receiver or other enforcement
agent appointed by the Agent or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, in
connection with the collection or enforcement of the Secured Obligations owed to the
Agent, as applicable, the enforcement of the Security Interests or the preservation of the
Collateral; and
(b) second, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit
Agreement.
11. LimitatIon on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Agent’s sole duty with
respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of Collateral in its possession or
under its control will be to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such Collateral.
The Obligor agrees that the Agent will be deemed to have used reasonable care in the custody
and preservation of Collateral if the Agent deals with such Collateral in the same manner as the
Agent deals with similar property for its own account and, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, the Agent need not take any steps to preserve rights against any other Person (including
prior parties). Neither the Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective directors,
officers, employees or agents will be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so or will be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral upon the request of the Obligor or otherwise.
12. No Liability. The Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by it in good
faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except
for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct, The Agent shall have the right to rely on any
instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be
taken by the Agent hereunder, believed by the Agent in good faith to be genuine. All moneys
received by the Agent under this Agreement shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be
held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any
manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by Applicable Law), and the Agent
shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. The Obligor
hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the Agent or its substitutes shall do lawfully by
virtue hereof.
13. Obligor Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Obligor shall
remain liable with respect to and under all Collateral (including all of its duties and obligations
arising under any leases, licenses, permits, reservations, contracts, agreements, instruments,
721665 v2
173
-9-
contractual rights and government orders, authorizations, licenses and permits now or hereafter
pertaining thereto) to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the
exercise by the Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release the Obligor from any of its
duties or obligations with respect to or under any Collateral, and (c) neither the Agent nor any
other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to or under any Collateral by
reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform
any of the obligations or duties of the Obligor thereunder or to take any action to collect or
enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as rendering the Agent or any
other Secured Party liable, directly or indirectly, for any obligations of the Obligor under any
agreement, instrument, permit, lease, license or other document subject to the Security Interest
hereof, or any judgment, decree or order of any Governmental Authority.
14. Representations. The Obligor represents and warrants to the Agent and acknowledges that the
Agent and each other Secured Party is relying on these representations and warranties without
independent inquiry in entering into the Loan Documents:
(a) the Obligor’s chief executive office is located in the Province of Alberta; and
(b) the Obligor (i) has a good and beneficial title to its interest in the Collateral; (ii) has the
right to mortgage its interest in the Collateral; (iii) on enforcement, the Agent shall have
quiet possession of its interest in the Collateral, free from all Liens except for Permitted
Encumbrance; and (iv) it has done no act to encumber its interest in the Collateral except
as has otherwise been agreed in writing with the Agent or otherwise permitted by the
Credit Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as subordination by the Agent or any other Secured
Party of the Security Interest to any of the Permitted Encumbrance, it being the intent that all
Security Interests shall be a first priority security interest.
15. Covenants. The Obligor covenants and agrees with the Agent that:
(a) Further Documentation: Pledge of Instruments. At any time and from time to time, upon
the written request of the Agent, and at the sole expense of the Obligor, the Obligor will
promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take
such further action as the Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or
preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein
granted, including the filing or execution of any financing or financing change statements
under any Applicable Law with respect to the Security Interest. The Obligor also hereby
authorizes the Agent to file any such financing or financing change statement without the
signature of the Obligor to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Obligor agrees that the Agent will have the right, acting
reasonably, to require that this Agreement be amended or supplemented: (i) to reflect
any changes in Applicable Law, whether arising as a result of statutory amendments,
court decisions or otherwise; (ii) to facilitate the creation and registration of appropriate
security in all appropriate jurisdictions; or (iii) if the Obligor amalgamates with any other
Person or enters into any reorganization, in each case in order to confer upon the Agent
the Security Interest intended to be created hereby.
(b) Further Identification of Collateral. The Obligor will furnish to the Agent from time to time
such statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such
other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Agent may reasonably request, all to
the extent necessary to permit the Collateral to be sufficiently described.
16. Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. Upon the Security Interest becoming enforceable,
the Obligor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent
721665 v2
174
-10-
thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of the Obligor and in the name of the Obligor or in its
own name, from time to time in the Agents reasonable discretion, for the purpose of carrying out
the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all
documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement and which the Obligor being required to take or execute has failed to take or
execute. The Obligor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys will lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and will be irrevocable
until the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and performed in
full. The Obligor also authorizes the Agent, at any time and from time to time, to execute any
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral in connection with the sale provided for in Section 8(c) hereof.
17. No Impairment. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Security Interest shall not be
impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release which may be granted, including any renewal,
extension or modification which may be granted with respect to any Secured Obligations, or any
surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which may be
granted in respect of the Collateral, or any part thereof or any interest therein, or any release or
indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Secured Obligations.
18. Waiver. The Obligor hereby expressly waives demand for payment, presentment, protest and
notice of dishonour of this Agreement. Any failure or omission by the Agent to present this
Agreement for payment, protest or provide notice of dishonour will not invalidate or adversely
affect in any way any demand for payment or enforcement proceeding taken under this
Agreement.
19. Expenses. The Obligor agrees to pay the Agent forthwith on demand all costs, charges and
expenses, including without limitation all legal fees (on a solicitor and his own client full indemnity
basis) incurred by the Agent in connection with the administration, recovery or enforcement of
payment of any amounts payable hereunder whether by realization or otherwise. All such sums
will be secured hereby and will be added to the Secured Obligations and bear interest at the rate
set forth in the Credit Agreement.
20. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions
hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
21. Interpretation. The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the
interpretation hereof. When used in this Agreement, the word including’ means “including
without limitation”. Any reference in this Agreement to any statute will include all regulations
thereunder from time to time, and will include such statute as the same may be amended,
supplemented or replaced from time to time.
22. Enurement and Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon the Obligor and its
successors and will enure to the benefit of the Agent and its successors and assigns. The
Obligor will not assign this Agreement without the Agent’s prior written consent, which may be
withheld in its sole discretion. In the event the ownership of the Collateral or any part thereof
becomes vested in a Person other than the Obligor, then, without notice to the Obligor, such
successor or successors in interest may be dealt with, with reference to this Agreement and to
the indebtedness secured hereby, in the same manner as with the Obligor, without in any way
vitiating or discharging the Obligor’s liability hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness or
performance of the obligations secured hereby.
721665 v2
175
-11-
23. Non-Exclusivity of Remedies. This Agreement and the Security Interest are in addition to and
not in substitution for any other security now or hereafter held by the Agent in respect of any
Obligor, the Secured Obligations or the Collateral. No remedy for the enforcement of the rights of
the Agent hereunder will be exclusive of or dependent on any other such remedy but any one or
more of such remedies may from time to time be exercised independently or in combination. The
Agent will not be obliged to exhaust its recourse against the Obligor, any other party or surety or
any other security it may hold with respect to the Secured Obligations before realizing upon or
otherwise dealing with this Agreement in such manner in the Agents discretion. The Agent may
grant extensions of time or other indulgences, take and give up securities, accept compositions,
grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with the Obligor and with other parties, sureties
or securities in its discretion, without prejudice to the liability of the Obligor in respect of this
Agreement.
24. No Merger. The Agreement will not operate by way of merger of any of the Secured Obligations
and no judgment recovered by the Agent will operate by way of merger of or in any way affect the
security of this Agreement which is in addition to and not in substitution for any other security now
or hereafter held by the Agent or any other Secured Party with respect to the Secured
Obligations.
25. Governing Law; Attornment. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable therein, without giving
effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. Without prejudice to the ability of the Agent to
enforce this Agreement in any other proper jurisdiction, the Obligor hereby irrevocably submits
and attorns to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Alberta, or any
appellate court thereof, for the purposes of this Agreement.
26. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be given in the manner
and subject to the terms of Section 14.8 of the Credit Agreement.
27. Inconsistency. To the extent that there is any inconsistency or ambiguity between the
provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and this Agreement, then, as
between the Obligor and the Agent, the provisions of the Credit Agreement or such other Loan
Document will govern to the extent necessary to eliminate such inconsistency or ambiguity. For
certainty, if there is any right or remedy of the Agent set forth in this Agreement which is not set
forth in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or if there is any right or remedy of
the Agent set forth in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document which is not set forth in
this Agreement, the existence of such additional right or remedy shall not constitute a conflict.
28. Termination. This Agreement and the security interest created hereunder will terminate when
the Collateral is no longer subject to the security interest in accordance with the Credit
Agreement. Upon such termination any Collateral then in the custody of the Agent or its nominee
must be re-delivered to the Obligor as soon as practicable and the Agent will execute and deliver
to the Obligor such financing statements and other documents or instruments as such Obligor
may reasonably require.
29. Time of the Essence. Time will be of the essence in this Agreement.
30. Statutory Waivers. The Obligor acknowledges receipt of an executed copy of this Agreement.
To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Obligor waives all of the rights, benefits and
protections given by the provisions of any existing or future statute which imposes limitations
upon the powers, rights or remedies of a secured party or upon the methods of realization of
security, including without limitation any seize or sue or anti-deficiency statute or any similar
provisions of any other statute. The Obligor waives the right to receive from the Agent a copy of
any notices of registration or recordation of this Agreement, including any security notice, caveat,
financing statement, financing change statement or other statement or document filed or
registered at any time in respect of this Agreement, or any verification statement or other

any of its property may be bound or affected;

with full right and authority to create the security interest and to cause Delivery of the
Collateral to the Agent pursuant hereto;
(c) no Collateral is in the possession or control of any person asserting a claim thereto or

(f) no authorization, consent, permit or approval of, or other action by, or filing with or notice
to, any governmental agency or authority, regulatory body, court, tribunal or other similar
entity have jurisdiction is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the
Pledgor of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder, except as
may be required to perfect the security interest granted hereby or in connection with the
disposition of all or any Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities
generally.
The Pledgor covenants with the Agent that the Pledgor will:
(a) ensure that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 will be true and
correct at all times;

(b) defend the Collateral against all claims and demands respecting the Collateral made by
any person other than the Agent at any time and, except as otherwise provided herein,
keep the Collateral free and clear of all security interests, mortgages, charges, liens and
other encumbrances or interests except Permitted Encumbrances or as otherwise
approved in writing by the Agent prior to their creation or assumption;
(c) not sell or dispose of, transfer, relinquish or otherwise deal with any of its interest in the
Collateral, except as permitted in the Credit Agreement; and
(d) provide to the Agent, promptly upon request, all information and evidence the Agent may
reasonably request concerning the Collateral to enable the Agent to enforce the
provisions hereof.
(1) The Agent may perform any of its rights and duties hereunder by or through agents and
is entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder.
(2) In the holding of the Collateral, the Agent and any nominee on its behalf is only bound to
exercise the same degree of care as it would exercise with respect to similar property of its own of similar
value held in the same place. The Agent and any nominee on its behalf will be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care with respect to the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it takes such
action for that purpose as the Pledgor reasonably requests in writing, but failure of the Agent or its
nominee to comply with any such request will not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable
care.
(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02(2), the Pledgor is entitled to exercise, either
directly or, if the Collateral is registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, by power of attorney or
proxy, all the rights and powers of a holder of such Collateral, including the right to vote from time to time
exercisable in respect of the Collateral and to give proxies, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect
thereof. No such action may be taken if it would be prejudicial to the interests of the Agent or would
violate or be inconsistent with the Credit Agreement or this Agreement or any other agreement relating
thereto or hereto or would have the effect of reducing the value of the Collateral as security for the
Obligations or imposing any restriction on the transferability of any of the Collateral.
(2) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing and the exercise by the
Agent of any of its rights and remedies under Section 5.01, the Agent may give the Pledgor a notice
prohibiting the Pledgor from exercising the rights and powers of a holder of the Collateral, including the
right to vote the Collateral, at which time all such rights of the Pledgor will cease immediately and the
Agent will have the right to exercise the rights and powers related to such Collateral, including the right to
vote.
(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.03(2), the Pledgor is entitled to receive all dividend
payments or other distributions or interest payments in respect of the Collateral. If the Collateral has
been registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, the Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to
be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all directions and other instruments as the Pledgor may
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158725
186
-7-
request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions, interest payments
or other payments that the Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to this Section 4.03(1).
(2) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing and the exercise by the
Agent of any of its rights and remedies under Section 5.01, all rights of the Pledgor pursuant to
Section 4.03(1) will cease, and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Agent, and the Agent
will have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain all payments that the Pledgor
would otherwise be authorized to retain pursuant to Section 4.03(1). All money and other property
received by the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.03(2) may be applied on account of the
Obligations or may be retained by the Agent as additional Collateral hereunder and be applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All payments which are received by the Pledgor
contrary to the provisions of this Section 4.03(2) will be held by the Pledgor in trust for the benefit of the
Agent, will be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and will be forthwith Delivered to the
Agent or its nominee to hold as Collateral.

(1) Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been either cured or
waived in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, prior to the exercise by the Agent of
any of its rights and remedies hereinafter set forth in this Section 5.01, (i) any or all of the Obligations will,
at the option of the Agent, become immediately due and payable or be subject to immediate performance,
as the case may be, without presentment, protest or notice of dishonour, all of which are expressly
waived; (ii) the obligation, if any, of the Agent to extend further credit to the Pledgor will cease; (iii) any or
all security granted hereby will, at the option of the Agent, become immediately enforceable; and (iv) in
addition to any right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or any other agreement (including the right to
give entitlement orders, instructions or a notice of exclusive control to a Securities Intermediary subject to
an Account Control Agreement or an issuer subject to an Issuer Control Agreement), the Agent will have
the rights and remedies set out below, all of which rights and remedies will be enforceable successively,
concurrently or both:
(a) transfer any part of the Collateral into the name of the Agent or its nominee if it has not
already done so in accordance with Section 2.04;
(b) vote any of the Collateral (whether or not registered in the name of the Agent or its
nominee) and give or withhold all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof;
(c) exercise all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription, or any other rights, privileges
or options pertaining to any of the Collateral, including the right to exchange at its
discretion any of the Collateral upon the amalgamation, arrangement, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of the issuer of the Collateral, all without liability
except to account for property actually received by the Agent;
(d) from time to time realize upon, collect, sell, transfer, assign, give options to purchase or
otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral in such manner as may seem advisable
to the Agent. For such purposes each requirement relating thereto and prescribed by
Applicable Law or otherwise is hereby waived by the Pledgor to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law and in any offer or sale of any of the Collateral the Agent is authorized to
comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such offer or sale as the Agent
may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Law,
or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchase by any
governmental or regulatory authority or official. Such compliance will not result in such
sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable

manner nor will the Agent be liable or accountable to the Pledgor for any discount
allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such
limitation or restriction;
(e) subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, purchase any of the Collateral, whether in
connection with a sale made under the power of sale herein contained or pursuant to
judicial proceedings or otherwise; and
(f) subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, accept the Collateral in satisfaction of the
Obligations upon notice to the Pledgor of its intention to do so in the manner required by
Applicable Law.
(2) The Agent may (I) grant extensions of time, (ii) take and perfect or abstain from taking
and perfecting security, (iii) give up securities, (iv) accept compositions or compromises, (v) grant
releases and discharges, and (vi) release any part of the Collateral or otherwise deal with the Pledgor,
debtors of the Pledgor, sureties and others and with the Collateral and other security as the Agent sees fit
without prejudice to the liability of the Pledgor to the Agent or the Agent’s rights hereunder.
(3) The Agent will not be liable or responsible for any failure to seize, collect, realize, or
obtain payment with respect to the Collateral and is not bound to institute proceedings or to take other
steps for the purpose of seizing, collecting, realizing or obtaining possession or payment with respect to
the Collateral or for the purpose of preserving any rights of the Agent, the Pledgor or any other person, in
respect of the Collateral.
(4) The Agent may apply any proceeds of realization of the Collateral to payment of
reasonable expenses in connection with the preservation and realization of the Collateral as above
described and the Agent may apply any balance of such proceeds to payment of the Obligations in
accordance with the Credit Agreement. If there is any surplus remaining, the Agent may pay it to any
person having a claim thereto in priority to the Pledgor of whom the Agent has knowledge and any
balance remaining must be paid to the Pledgor. If the disposition of the Collateral fails to satisfy the
Obligations secured by this Agreement and the aforesaid expenses, the Pledgor will be liable to pay any
deficiency to the Agent forthwith on demand.
The Agent may charge on its own behalf and also pay to others all reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses of the Agent and others, including the fees and disbursements of any Securities
Intermediary, experts or advisers (including lawyers on a solicitor and client basis) retained by the Agent,
incurred in connection with realizing, collecting, selling, transferring, delivering or obtaining payment for
the Collateral, or in connection with the administration or any amendment of this Agreement or incidental
to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any Collateral. The Agent may deduct the amount of such
expenses from any proceeds of disposition of the Collateral.

Collateral at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, such Collateral will automatically (and
without any further action being required to be taken by the Agent) be subject to the security interest and
pledge created hereby. The Pledgor will take, or cause to be taken, as promptly as practicable and, in
any event within 30 days (or such later date as the Agent may agree to, acting reasonably) after it obtains
such additional Collateral, in each case, all steps and actions as the Agent reasonably deems necessary

Collateral to the Agent and that it has not agreed to postpone the time of attachment of the security
interest hereby created.

be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and by principles of equity); the making and performance of this
Agreement will not result in the breach of, constitute a default under, contravene any
provision of, or result in the creation of, any lien, charge, security interest, encumbrance
or any other rights of others upon any property of the Pledgor pursuant to any agreement,
indenture or other instrument to which the Pledgor is a party or by which the Pledgor or
any of its property may be bound or affected;
(b) the Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral, free of any security
interest, other than:
with full right and authority to create the security interest and to cause Delivery of the
Collateral to the Agent pursuant hereto;
(c) no Collateral is in the possession or control of any person asserting a claim thereto or
security interest therein, except that the Agent or its nominee or a Securities Intermediary
acting on its behalf may have possession or control of the Collateral;
(d) all Collateral consisting of Pledged Shares has been duly authorized and validly issued,

constitutes 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity
interests of the respective issuers thereof;
(e) except to the extent previously disclosed to the Agent in writing, there is no existing
agreement, option, right or privilege capable of becoming an agreement or option
pursuant to which the Pledgor could be required to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the
Collateral; and
(f) no authorization, consent, permit or approval of, or other action by, or filing with or notice
to, any governmental agency or authority, regulatory body, court, tribunal or other similar
entity have jurisdiction is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the
Pledgor of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder, except as
may be required to perfect the security interest granted hereby or in connection with the
disposition of all or any Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities
generally.
The Pledgor covenants with the Agent that the Pledgor will:
(a) ensure that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 will be true and
correct at all times;
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158770
199
-6-
(b) defend the Collateral against all claims and demands respecting the Collateral made by
any person other than the Agent at any time and, except as otherwise provided herein,
keep the Collateral free and clear of all security interests, mortgages, charges, liens and
other encumbrances or interests except Permitted Encumbrances or as otherwise
approved in writing by the Agent prior to their creation or assumption;
(c) not sell or dispose of, transfer, relinquish or otherwise deal with any of its interest in the
Collateral, except as permitted in the Credit Agreement; and
(d) provide to the Agent, promptly upon request, all information and evidence the Agent may
reasonably request concerning the Collateral to enable the Agent to enforce the
provisions hereof.
(1) The Agent may perform any of its rights and duties hereunder by or through agents and
is entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder.
(2) In the holding of the Collateral, the Agent and any nominee on its behalf is only bound to
exercise the same degree of care as it would exercise with respect to similar property of its own of similar
value held in the same place. The Agent and any nominee on its behalf will be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care with respect to the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it takes such
action for that purpose as the Pledgor reasonably requests in writing, but failure of the Agent or its
nominee to comply with any such request will not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable
care.
(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02(2), the Pledgor is entitled to exercise, either
directly or, if the Collateral is registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, by power of attorney or
proxy, all the rights and powers of a holder of such Collateral, including the right to vote from time to time
exercisable in respect of the Collateral and to give proxies, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect
thereof. No such action may be taken if it would be prejudicial to the interests of the Agent or would
violate or be inconsistent with the Credit Agreement or this Agreement or any other agreement relating
thereto or hereto or would have the effect of reducing the value of the Collateral as security for the
Obligations or imposing any restriction on the transferability of any of the Collateral.
(2) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing and the exercise by the
Agent of any of its rights and remedies under Section 5.01, the Agent may give the Pledgor a notice
prohibiting the Pledgor from exercising the rights and powers of a holder of the Collateral, including the
right to vote the Collateral, at which time all such rights of the Pledgor will cease immediately and the
Agent will have the right to exercise the rights and powers related to such Collateral, including the right to
vote.
(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.03(2), the Pledgor is entitled to receive all dividend
payments or other distributions or interest payments in respect of the Collateral. If the Collateral has
been registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, the Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to
be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all directions and other instruments as the Pledgor may
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158770
200
-7-
request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions, interest payments
or other payments that the Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to this Section 4.03(1).
(2) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing and the exercise by the
Agent of any of its rights and remedies under Section 5.01, all rights of the Pledgor pursuant to
Section 4.03(1) will cease, and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Agent, and the Agent
will have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain all payments that the Pledgor
would otherwise be authorized to retain pursuant to Section 4.03(1). All money and other property
received by the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.03(2) may be applied on account of the
Obligations or may be retained by the Agent as additional Collateral hereunder and be applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All payments which are received by the Pledgor
contrary to the provisions of this Section 4.03(2) will be held by the Pledgor in trust for the benefit of the
Agent, will be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and will be forthwith Delivered to the
Agent or its nominee to hold as Collateral.
ARTICLE 5- REMEDIES
5.01 Remedies
(1) Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been either cured or
waived in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, prior to the exercise by the Agent of
any of its rights and remedies hereinafter set forth in this Section 5.01, (i) any or all of the Obligations will,
at the option of the Agent, become immediately due and payable or be subject to immediate performance,

an Account Control Agreement or an issuer subject to an Issuer Control Agreement), the Agent will have
the rights and remedies set out below, all of which rights and remedies will be enforceable successively,
concurrently or both:
(a) transfer any part of the Collateral into the name of the Agent or its nominee if it has not

(c) exercise all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription, or any other rights, privileges

Applicable Law and in any offer or sale of any of the Collateral the Agent is authorized to
comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such offer or sale as the Agent
may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Law,
or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchase by any
governmental or regulatory authority or official. Such compliance will not result in such
sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15158770
201
-8-
manner nor will the Agent be liable or accountable to the Pledgor for any discount
allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such
limitation or restriction;
(e) subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, purchase any of the Collateral, whether in
connection with a sale made under the power of sale herein contained or pursuant to
judicial proceedings or otherwise; and

Applicable Law.
(2) The Agent may (i) grant extensions of time, (ii) take and perfect or abstain from taking
and perfecting security, (iii) give up securities, (iv) accept compositions or compromises, (v) grant
releases and discharges, and (vi) release any part of the Collateral or otherwise deal with the Pledgor,
debtors of the Pledgor, sureties and others and with the Collateral and other security as the Agent sees fit
without prejudice to the liability of the Pledgor to the Agent or the Agent’s rights hereunder.
(3) The Agent will not be liable or responsible for any failure to seize, collect, realize, or
obtain payment with respect to the Collateral and is not bound to institute proceedings or to take other
steps for the purpose of seizing, collecting, realizing or obtaining possession or payment with respect to
the Collateral or for the purpose of preserving any rights of the Agent, the Pledgor or any other person, in
respect of the Collateral.
(4) The Agent may apply any proceeds of realization of the Collateral to payment of
reasonable expenses in connection with the preservation and realization of the Collateral as above
described and the Agent may apply any balance of such proceeds to payment of the Obligations in
accordance with the Credit Agreement. If there is any surplus remaining, the Agent may pay it to any
person having a claim thereto in priority to the Pledgor of whom the Agent has knowledge and any
balance remaining must be paid to the Pledgor. If the disposition of the Collateral fails to satisfy the
Obligations secured by this Agreement and the aforesaid expenses, the Pledgor will be liable to pay any
deficiency to the Agent forthwith on demand.
The Agent may charge on its own behalf and also pay to others all reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses of the Agent and others, including the fees and disbursements of any Securities
Intermediary, experts or advisers (including lawyers on a solicitor and client basis) retained by the Agent,
incurred in connection with realizing, collecting, selling, transferring, delivering or obtaining payment for
the Collateral, or in connection with the administration or any amendment of this Agreement or incidental
to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any Collateral. The Agent may deduct the amount of such
expenses from any proceeds of disposition of the Collateral.

successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

pledge created hereby. The Pledgor will take, or cause to be taken, as promptly as practicable and, in
any event within 30 days (or such later date as the Agent may agree to, acting reasonably) after it obtains

enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by principles of equity); the making and
performance of this Agreement will not result in the breach of, constitute a default under,
contravene any provision of, or result in the creation of, any lien, charge, security interest,
encumbrance or any other rights of others upon any property of the Pledgor pursuant to any
agreement, indenture or other instrument to which the Pledgor is a party or by which the
Pledgor or any of its property may be bound or affected;
(b) the Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral, free of any security
interest, other than:
with full right and authority to create the security interest and to cause Delivery of the
Collateral to the Agent pursuant hereto;
(c) no Collateral is in the possession or control of any person asserting a claim thereto or
security interest therein, except that the Agent or its nominee or a Securities Intermediary
acting on its behalf may have possession or control of the Collateral;
(d) all Collateral consisting of Pledged Shares has been duly authorized and validly issued,
is outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable and, except as set forth on Schedule A,
constitutes 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity
interests of the respective issuers thereof;
(e) except to the extent previously disclosed to the Agent in writing, there is no existing
agreement, option, right or privilege capable of becoming an agreement or option
pursuant to which the Pledgor could be required to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the
Collateral; and
(f) no authorization, consent, permit or approval of, or other action by, or filing with or notice
to, any governmental agency or authority, regulatory body, court, tribunal or other similar
entity have jurisdiction is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the
Pledgor of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder, except as
may be required to perfect the security interest granted hereby or in connection with the
disposition of all or any Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities
generally.
The Pledgor covenants with the Agent that the Pledgor will:
(a) ensure that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 will be true and
correct at all times;
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15162250
213
-6-
(b) defend the Collateral against all claims and demands respecting the Collateral made by
any person other than the Agent at any time and, except as otherwise provided herein,
keep the Collateral free and clear of all security interests, mortgages, charges, liens and
other encumbrances or interests except Permitted Encumbrances or as otherwise
approved in writing by the Agent prior to their creation or assumption;
(c) not sell or dispose of, transfer, relinquish or otherwise deal with any of its interest in the
Collateral, except as permitted in the Credit Agreement; and
(d) provide to the Agent, promptly upon request, all information and evidence the Agent may
reasonably request concerning the Collateral to enable the Agent to enforce the
provisions hereof.
(1) The Agent may perform any of its rights and duties hereunder by or through agents and
is entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder.
(2) In the holding of the Collateral, the Agent and any nominee on its behalf is only bound to
exercise the same degree of care as it would exercise with respect to similar property of its own of similar
value held in the same place. The Agent and any nominee on its behalf will be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care with respect to the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it takes such
action for that purpose as the Pledgor reasonably requests in writing, but failure of the Agent or its
nominee to comply with any such request will not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable
care.
(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02(2), the Pledgor is entitled to exercise, either
directly or, if the Collateral is registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, by power of attorney or
proxy, all the rights and powers of a holder of such Collateral, including the right to vote from time to time
exercisable in respect of the Collateral and to give proxies, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect
thereof. No such action may be taken if it would be prejudicial to the interests of the Agent or would
violate or be inconsistent with the Credit Agreement or this Agreement or any other agreement relating
thereto or hereto or would have the effect of reducing the value of the Collateral as security for the
Obligations or imposing any restriction on the transferability of any of the Collateral.
(2) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing and the exercise by the
Agent of any of its rights and remedies under Section 5.01, the Agent may give the Pledgor a notice
prohibiting the Pledgor from exercising the rights and powers of a holder of the Collateral, including the
right to vote the Collateral, at which time all such rights of the Pledgor will cease immediately and the
Agent will have the right to exercise the rights and powers related to such Collateral, including the right to
vote.
(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.03(2), the Pledgor is entitled to receive all dividend
payments or other distributions or interest payments in respect of the Collateral. If the Collateral has
been registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, the Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to
be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all directions and other instruments as the Pledgor may
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15162250
214
-7-
request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions, interest payments
or other payments that the Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to this Section 4.03(1).
(2) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing and the exercise by the
Agent of any of its rights and remedies under Section 5.01, all rights of the Pledgor pursuant to
Section 4.03(1) will cease, and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Agent, and the Agent
will have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain all payments that the Pledgor
would otherwise be authorized to retain pursuant to Section 4.03(1). All money and other property
received by the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.03(2) may be applied on account of the
Obligations or may be retained by the Agent as additional Collateral hereunder and be applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All payments which are received by the Pledgor
contrary to the provisions of this Section 4.03(2) will be held by the Pledgor in trust for the benefit of the
Agent, will be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and will be forthwith Delivered to the
Agent or its nominee to hold as Collateral.
ARTICLE 5- REMEDIES
5.01 Remedies
(1) Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been either cured or
waived in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, prior to the exercise by the Agent of
any of its rights and remedies hereinafter set forth in this Section 5.01, (i) any or all of the Obligations will,
at the option of the Agent, become immediately due and payable or be subject to immediate performance,
as the case may be, without presentment, protest or notice of dishonour, all of which are expressly
waived; (ii) the obligation, if any, of the Agent to extend further credit to the Pledgor will cease; (iii) any or
all security granted hereby will, at the option of the Agent, become immediately enforceable; and (iv) in
addition to any right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or any other agreement (including the right to
give entitlement orders, instructions or a notice of exclusive control to a Securities Intermediary subject to
an Account Control Agreement or an issuer subject to an Issuer Control Agreement), the Agent will have
the rights and remedies set out below, all of which rights and remedies will be enforceable successively,
concurrently or both:
(a) transfer any part of the Collateral into the name of the Agent or its nominee if it has not
already done so in accordance with Section 2.04;
(b) vote any of the Collateral (whether or not registered in the name of the Agent or its
nominee) and give or withhold all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof;
(c) exercise all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription, or any other rights, privileges
or options pertaining to any of the Collateral, including the right to exchange at its
discretion any of the Collateral upon the amalgamation, arrangement, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of the issuer of the Collateral, all without liability
except to account for property actually received by the Agent;
(d) from time to time realize upon, collect, sell, transfer, assign, give options to purchase or
otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral in such manner as may seem advisable
to the Agent. For such purposes each requirement relating thereto and prescribed by
Applicable Law or otherwise is hereby waived by the Pledgor to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law and in any offer or sale of any of the Collateral the Agent is authorized to
comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such offer or sale as the Agent
may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Law,
or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchase by any
governmental or regulatory authority or official. Such compliance will not result in such
sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15162250
215
-8-
manner nor will the Agent be liable or accountable to the Pledgor for any discount
allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such
limitation or restriction;
(e) subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, purchase any of the Collateral, whether in
connection with a sale made under the power of sale herein contained or pursuant to
judicial proceedings or otherwise; and
(f) subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, accept the Collateral in satisfaction of the
Obligations upon notice to the Pledgor of its intention to do so in the manner required by
Applicable Law.
(2) The Agent may (i) grant extensions of time, (ii) take and perfect or abstain from taking
and perfecting security, (iii) give up securities, (iv) accept compositions or compromises, (v) grant
releases and discharges, and (vi) release any part of the Collateral or otherwise deal with the Pledgor,
debtors of the Pledgor, sureties and others and with the Collateral and other security as the Agent sees fit
without prejudice to the liability of the Pledgor to the Agent or the Agent’s rights hereunder.
(3) The Agent will not be liable or responsible for any failure to seize, collect, realize, or
obtain payment with respect to the Collateral and is not bound to institute proceedings or to take other
steps for the purpose of seizing, collecting, realizing or obtaining possession or payment with respect to
the Collateral or for the purpose of preserving any rights of the Agent, the Pledgor or any other person, in
respect of the Collateral.
(4) The Agent may apply any proceeds of realization of the Collateral to payment of
reasonable expenses in connection with the preservation and realization of the Collateral as above
described and the Agent may apply any balance of such proceeds to payment of the Obligations in
accordance with the Credit Agreement. If there is any surplus remaining, the Agent may pay it to any
person having a claim thereto in priority to the Pledgor of whom the Agent has knowledge and any
balance remaining must be paid to the Pledgor. If the disposition of the Collateral fails to satisfy the
Obligations secured by this Agreement and the aforesaid expenses, the Pledgor will be liable to pay any
deficiency to the Agent forthwith on demand.
The Agent may charge on its own behalf and also pay to others all reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses of the Agent and others, including the fees and disbursements of any Securities
Intermediary, experts or advisers (including lawyers on a solicitor and client basis) retained by the Agent,
incurred in connection with realizing, collecting, selling, transferring, delivering or obtaining payment for
the Collateral, or in connection with the administration or any amendment of this Agreement or incidental
to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any Collateral. The Agent may deduct the amount of such
expenses from any proceeds of disposition of the Collateral.

pledge created hereby. The Pledgor will take, or cause to be taken, as promptly as practicable and, in

or any other rights of others upon any property of the Pledgor pursuant to any agreement,
indenture or other instrument to which the Pledgor is a party or by which the Pledgor or
any of its property may be bound or affected;

interest, other than:
with full right and authority to create the security interest and to cause Delivery of the
Collateral to the Agent pursuant hereto;
(c) no Collateral is in the possession or control of any person asserting a claim thereto or

interests of the respective issuers thereof;
(e) except to the extent previously disclosed to the Agent in writing, there is no existing

(f) no authorization, consent, permit or approval of, or other action by, or filing with or notice
to, any governmental agency or authority, regulatory body, court, tribunal or other similar
entity have jurisdiction is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the
Pledgor of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder, except as
may be required to perfect the security interest granted hereby or in connection with the
disposition of all or any Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities
generally.
The Pledgor covenants with the Agent that the Pledgor will:
(a) ensure that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 will be true and
correct at all times;

MTDOCS 15162253
227

(b) defend the Collateral against all claims and demands respecting the Collateral made by
any person other than the Agent at any time and, except as otherwise provided herein,
keep the Collateral free and clear of all security interests, mortgages, charges, liens and
other encumbrances or interests except Permitted Encumbrances or as otherwise
approved in writing by the Agent prior to their creation or assumption;
(c) not sell or dispose of, transfer, relinquish or otherwise deal with any of its interest in the
Collateral, except as permitted in the Credit Agreement; and
(d) provide to the Agent, promptly upon request, all information and evidence the Agent may
reasonably request concerning the Collateral to enable the Agent to enforce the
provisions hereof.
(1) The Agent may perform any of its rights and duties hereunder by or through agents and
is entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder.
(2) In the holding of the Collateral, the Agent and any nominee on its behalf is only bound to
exercise the same degree of care as it would exercise with respect to similar property of its own of similar
value held in the same place. The Agent and any nominee on its behalf will be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care with respect to the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it takes such
action for that purpose as the Pledgor reasonably requests in writing, but failure of the Agent or its
nominee to comply with any such request will not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable
care.
(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02(2), the Pledgor is entitled to exercise, either
directly or, if the Collateral is registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, by power of attorney or
proxy, all the rights and powers of a holder of such Collateral, including the right to vote from time to time
exercisable in respect of the Collateral and to give proxies, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect
thereof. No such action may be taken if it would be prejudicial to the interests of the Agent or would
violate or be inconsistent with the Credit Agreement or this Agreement or any other agreement relating
thereto or hereto or would have the effect of reducing the value of the Collateral as security for the
Obligations or imposing any restriction on the transferability of any of the Collateral.
(2) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing and the exercise by the
Agent of any of its rights and remedies under Section 5.01, the Agent may give the Pledgor a notice
prohibiting the Pledgor from exercising the rights and powers of a holder of the Collateral, including the
right to vote the Collateral, at which time all such rights of the Pledgor will cease immediately and the
Agent will have the right to exercise the rights and powers related to such Collateral, including the right to
vote.
(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.03(2), the Pledgor is entitled to receive all dividend
payments or other distributions or interest payments in respect of the Collateral. If the Collateral has
been registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, the Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to
be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all directions and other instruments as the Pledgor may
174791/480397
MT DOGS 15162253
228
-7-
request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions, interest payments
or other payments that the Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to this Section 4.03(1).
(2) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing and the exercise by the
Agent of any of its rights and remedies under Section 5.01, all rights of the Pledgor pursuant to
Section 4.03(1) will cease, and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Agent, and the Agent
will have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain all payments that the Pledgor
would otherwise be authorized to retain pursuant to Section 4.03(1). All money and other property
received by the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.03(2) may be applied on account of the
Obligations or may be retained by the Agent as additional Collateral hereunder and be applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All payments which are received by the Pledgor
contrary to the provisions of this Section 4.03(2) will be held by the Pledgor in trust for the benefit of the
Agent, will be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and will be forthwith Delivered to the
Agent or its nominee to hold as Collateral.
ARTICLE 5- REMEDIES
5.01 Remedies
(1) Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been either cured or
waived in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, prior to the exercise by the Agent of
any of its rights and remedies hereinafter set forth in this Section 5.01, (i) any or all of the Obligations will,
at the option of the Agent, become immediately due and payable or be subject to immediate performance,
as the case may be, without presentment, protest or notice of dishonour, all of which are expressly
waived; (ii) the obligation, if any, of the Agent to extend further credit to the Pledgor will cease; (iii) any or
all security granted hereby will, at the option of the Agent, become immediately enforceable; and (iv) in
addition to any right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or any other agreement (including the right to
give entitlement orders, instructions or a notice of exclusive control to a Securities Intermediary subject to
an Account Control Agreement or an issuer subject to an Issuer Control Agreement), the Agent will have
the rights and remedies set out below, all of which rights and remedies will be enforceable successively,
concurrently or both:
(a) transfer any part of the Collateral into the name of the Agent or its nominee if it has not
already done so in accordance with Section 2.04;
(b) vote any of the Collateral (whether or not registered in the name of the Agent or its
nominee) and give or withhold all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof;
(c) exercise all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription, or any other rights, privileges
or options pertaining to any of the Collateral, including the right to exchange at its
discretion any of the Collateral upon the amalgamation, arrangement, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of the issuer of the Collateral, all without liability
except to account for property actually received by the Agent;
(d) from time to time realize upon, collect, sell, transfer, assign, give options to purchase or
otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral in such manner as may seem advisable
to the Agent. For such purposes each requirement relating thereto and prescribed by
Applicable Law or otherwise is hereby waived by the Pledgor to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law and in any offer or sale of any of the Collateral the Agent is authorized to
comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such offer or sale as the Agent
may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Law,
or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchase by any
governmental or regulatory authority or official. Such compliance will not result in such
sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable
174791/480397
MT DOCS 15162253
229
-8-
manner nor will the Agent be liable or accountable to the Pledgor for any discount
allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such
limitation or restriction;
(e) subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, purchase any of the Collateral, whether in
connection with a sale made under the power of sale herein contained or pursuant to
judicial proceedings or otherwise; and
(f) subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, accept the Collateral in satisfaction of the
Obligations upon notice to the Pledgor of its intention to do so in the manner required by
Applicable Law.
(2) The Agent may (i) grant extensions of time, (ii) take and perfect or abstain from taking
and perfecting security, (iii) give up securities, (iv) accept compositions or compromises, (v) grant
releases and discharges, and (vi) release any part of the Collateral or otherwise deal with the Pledgor,
debtors of the Pledgor, sureties and others and with the Collateral and other security as the Agent sees fit
without prejudice to the liability of the Pledgor to the Agent or the Agent’s rights hereunder.
(3) The Agent will not be liable or responsible for any failure to seize, collect, realize, or
obtain payment with respect to the Collateral and is not bound to institute proceedings or to take other
steps for the purpose of seizing, collecting, realizing or obtaining possession or payment with respect to
the Collateral or for the purpose of preserving any rights of the Agent, the Pledgor or any other person, in
respect of the Collateral.
(4) The Agent may apply any proceeds of realization of the Collateral to payment of
reasonable expenses in connection with the preservation and realization of the Collateral as above
described and the Agent may apply any balance of such proceeds to payment of the Obligations in
accordance with the Credit Agreement. If there is any surplus remaining, the Agent may pay it to any
person having a claim thereto in priority to the Pledgor of whom the Agent has knowledge and any
balance remaining must be paid to the Pledgor. If the disposition of the Collateral fails to satisfy the
Obligations secured by this Agreement and the aforesaid expenses, the Pledgor will be liable to pay any
deficiency to the Agent forthwith on demand.
The Agent may charge on its own behalf and also pay to others all reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses of the Agent and others, including the fees and disbursements of any Securities
Intermediary, experts or advisers (including lawyers on a solicitor and client basis) retained by the Agent,
incurred in connection with realizing, collecting, selling, transferring, delivering or obtaining payment for
the Collateral, or in connection with the administration or any amendment of this Agreement or incidental
to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any Collateral. The Agent may deduct the amount of such
expenses from any proceeds of disposition of the Collateral.
ARTICLE 6- GENERAL
This Agreement will enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective
successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
This Agreement has been entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Credit
Agreement and is subject to all the terms and conditions thereof and, if there is any conflict or

inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the
rights and obligations of the parties will be governed by the provisions of the Credit Agreement. This
Agreement together with any Issuer Control Agreement or Account Control Agreement delivered to the

undertakings or collateral agreements, express, implied or statutory, between the Agent and the Pledgor
with respect to the subject matter hereof other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, in any Issuer
Control Agreement or Account Control Agreement, or in the Credit Agreement.
This Agreement and the security interest created hereunder will terminate when the
Collateral is no longer subject to the security interest in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Upon
such termination any Collateral then in the custody of the Agent or its nominee must be re-delivered to
the Pledgor as soon as practicable and the Agent will execute and deliver to such Pledgor such financing
statements and other documents or instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably require.
No amendment to this Agreement will be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and
duly executed by all of the parties. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will be
effective or binding unless made in writing and signed by the party purporting to give the same and,
unless otherwise provided in the written waiver, will be limited to the specific breach waived.

The rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to
and not in substitution for any other security now or hereafter held by the Agent or any other rights or
remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise. No single or partial exercise by the Agent of any right
or remedy precludes or otherwise affects the exercise of any other right or remedy to which the Agent
may be entitled.

under, or any irregularity or other defect in the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other security provided to any of the Lender Parties;
(e) any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of any of the Assignors into or with any
other Person; or
5.02 No Partnershir. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the parties
hereto or by any third party as creating the relationship of partnership or of joint venture
among the Assignors and the Lender Parties, it being understood and agreed that none of
the provisions herein contained or any acts of any of the Lender Parties or of the Assignors
shall be deemed to create any relationship between any of the Lender Parties and the
Assignors other than the relationship of assignee and assignor.
5.03 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies given to the Agent hereunder
shall be cumulative of and not substituted for any rights or remedies to which the Agent may
be entitled under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other security
provided to the Agent pursuant to or in connection with any of the foregoing or at law and
may be exercised whether or not the Agent has pursued or is then pursuing any other such
rights and remedies. Nothing in this Agreement shall curtail or limit the remedies of the
Agent as permitted either by Applicable Law or in any statute to a creditor, all such remedies

performance by such Assignor hereunder. Failure on the part of the Agent to complain of
any act or failure to act of an Assignor or to declare an Assignor in default, irrespective of

rights hereunder.

6.01 Document. This Agreement is a Loan Document executed pursuant to the Credit Agreement
and shall (unless otherwise expressly indicated herein) be construed, administered and
applied in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof.
6.02 Amendments, etc. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor
consent to any departure by any Assignor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.
6.03 Protection of Collateral. The Agent may from time to time, at its option, perform any act
which each of the Assignors agree hereunder to perform and which each of the Assignors
shall fail to perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no
such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default) and the Agent may from time to time take any other action which the Agent
reasonably deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the
assigned rights or of its security interest therein.
6.04 Addresses for Notices. Any notice or communication to be given under this Agreement to the
Agent or the Assignors shall be effective if given in accordance with the provisions of the
Credit Agreement as to the giving of notice to each and the Agent and the Assignors may
change their respective address for notices in accordance with the said provisions.
6.05 Section Cartions. Section captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only, and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
6.07 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions hereunder and the provisions of
the Credit Agreement then, notwithstanding anything contained herein, the provisions
contained in the Credit Agreement shall prevail and the provisions of this Agreement will be
deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to eliminate such conflict. If any act or
omission of an Assignor is expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement but is expressly
prohibited hereunder, such act or omission shall be permitted. If any act or omission is
expressly prohibited hereunder, but the Credit Agreement does not expressly permit such act
or omission, or if any act is expressly required to be performed hereunder but the Credit
Agreement does not expressly relieve an Assignor from such performance, such fact shall
not constitute a conflict between the applicable provisions hereunder and the provisions of
the Credit Agreement.

in accordance with the internal laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of
Canada applicable therein. Subject to and without limiting in any way the provisions

and this Agreement is a continuing agreement and security that will remain in full force and
effect until discharged by the Agent.
