8.Security for Third Party Obligations

1.Waiver of Legal Subrogation and Non-Accessory Security Rights

If and to the extent the Secured Obligations are not only owed by the Assignor but also by third parties, and if and to the extent the Assignor satisfies the Secured Obligations in full or in part (including by enforcement of the Assignment), the following provisions shall apply:

(a)Until satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in full, the legal subrogation (gesetzlicher Forderungsübergang) pursuant to articles 110, 149 CO (or any other applicable provision) or under any other applicable law shall not apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the claim for indemnity (article 148 para. 2 CO) shall not be affected thereby.

(b)The Assignor may request the transfer to it of non-accessory security rights (nicht-akzessorische Sicherungsrechte) which have not been provided by the Assignor only upon satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in full and only if and to the extent the respective security provider has approved the transfer to the Assignor.

2.Limitation of Security

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the Assignor and the rights of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement are subject to the following limitations:

(a)If and to the extent that the security interest granted by the Assignor under this Agreement secures obligations of its Affiliates which are not its wholly-owned direct or

10/#NUM_PAGES#

Security Assignment Agreement

indirect Subsidiaries (the Restricted Obligations) and if using the proceeds from the enforcement of such security interest to discharge the Restricted Obligations would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven), the repayment of statutory capital reserves (Rückzahlung von gesetzlichen Kapitalreserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) by the Assignor or would otherwise be restricted under then applicable Swiss law, the proceeds from the enforcement of such security interest to be used to discharge the Restricted Obligations shall be limited to the amount of freely disposable equity (frei verwendbares Eigenkapital) (including, without limitation, any statutory reserves which can be transferred into unrestricted distributable reserves) of the Assignor at the time of enforcement, as determined in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss accounting principles (the Swiss Maximum Amount), provided that this is a requirement under then applicable mandatory Swiss law and it is understood that such limitation shall not free the Assignor from its obligations in excess of the Swiss Maximum Amount, but that it shall merely postpone the performance date of those obligations until such time or times as performance is again permitted.

(b)Promptly after the enforcement of the security interest granted by the Assignor under this Agreement (but in any event within not more than 30 Business Days after the relevant request having been made), the Assignor shall (x) perform any obligations which are not affected by the above limitations, and (y) if and to the extent required by Applicable Law applicable to the Assignor or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent:

(i)provide the Collateral Agent with an interim balance sheet audited by the statutory auditors of the Assignor setting out the Swiss Maximum Amount and confirming that using the proceeds from the enforcement of such security interest to discharge the Restricted Obligations in an amount corresponding to the Swiss Maximum Amount is in compliance with the provisions of the applicable Swiss law;

(ii)convert restricted reserves into reserves freely available for distribution as dividends (to the extent permitted by mandatory Swiss law); and

(iii)take any further corporate and other action as may be required by law (such as board and shareholders' approvals and the receipt of any confirmations from the Assignor’s statutory auditors) and other measures reasonably necessary to allow the Collateral Agent to use enforcement proceeds as agreed hereunder with a minimum of limitations.

(c)In relation to the Restricted Obligations, the Assignor shall (x) use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that enforcement proceeds can be used to discharge the Restricted Obligations without deduction of Swiss withholding tax, or with deduction of Swiss withholding tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to Applicable Law (including tax treaties) rather than payment of Swiss withholding tax; (y) to the extent such notification procedure is not available, the

11/#NUM_PAGES#

Security Assignment Agreement

Collateral Agent undertakes to withhold from the enforcement proceeds of the Pledge an amount of Swiss withholding tax at the rate of 35 per cent. (or such other rate as is in force at that time), forward such amount to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, within 10 Business Days after presentation by the Assignor to the Collateral Agent of the relevant form of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, it being specified that the Assignor shall fill in and prepare the relevant form of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration and submit it to the Collateral Agent for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; (z) promptly after a deduction for Swiss withholding tax is made as required by Applicable Law, use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any person which is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss withholding tax deducted from such enforcement proceeds, is in a position to be so refunded and in case it has received any refund of the Swiss withholding tax, pay such refund to the Collateral Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.

(d)If the enforcement of Restricted Obligations would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Clause 8.2, then the Assignor shall (x) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, revalue and/or realize any of the Assignor’s assets that are shown on its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of such assets, in case of realisation, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Assignor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) and (y) reduce the Assignor’s share/quota capital to the minimum allowed under then Applicable Law.

9.Release and Reassignment

(a)The Intercompany Receivables or, in case of enforcement of some but not all the Intercompany Receivables, the remainder thereof, shall be released by the Collateral Agent from the Assignment and reassigned by the Collateral Agent to the Assignor at the cost and risk of the Assignor, if and when (i) all Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid and discharged in full and no further Secured Obligations are capable of arising in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents, (ii) any other event occurs requiring a release of the Intercompany Receivables or (iii) as permitted by the Finance Documents.

(b)The Collateral Agent will not make, and shall not be deemed to have made, any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, with respect to the Intercompany Receivables that will be reassigned under this Clause 9, except that at the date of such reassignment of the Intercompany Receivables, such Intercompany Receivables are free and clear of any and all liens, charges and encumbrances arising from the Collateral Agent’s acts.

10.Role of Collateral Agent

(a)The Collateral Agent hereby confirms that each of the other Secured Parties has appointed and each new Secured Party will appoint the Collateral Agent to act as Collateral Agent in its own name but on behalf and on account of each of the other Secured Parties pursuant to section 9(c) of the Note Purchase Agreement. In particular, each of the Secured Parties has authorized, and each of the persons becoming a new

12/#NUM_PAGES#

Security Assignment Agreement

Secured Party subsequent to this Agreement will authorize the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Collateral Agent under or in connection with this Agreement together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions. The Assignor acknowledges such rights and powers.

(b)The Collateral Agent performs its rights and obligations under this Agreement as Collateral Agent in its own name but on behalf and on account of each of the other Secured Parties.

11.Reinstatement

Where any discharge in respect of the Secured Obligations is made, in whole or in part, and any amount paid pursuant to any such discharge is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar events, the respective Secured Parties, will have or continue to have a Secured Obligation and, in case the Assignment has been released and the Intercompany Receivables reassigned to the Assignor, the Assignor shall undertake all actions that are necessary for the reinstatement of the Assignment, in particular the Assignor shall return and assign (as the case may be) the Intercompany Receivables. Such reinstatement shall, to the extent required, include a reinstatement of this Agreement and the Assignment shall continue as if there had been no discharge in respect of such Secured Obligations.

12.Duration; Independence

(a)The security interest created hereunder shall not cease to exist if the Secured Obligations have been discharged only partially or temporarily.

(b)This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest and no change, amendment, restatement or supplement whatsoever in the Finance Documents or in any document or agreement related to any of the other Finance Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement and the security interest granted hereunder nor the obligations which are imposed on the Assignor pursuant to it.

(c)This Agreement and the security interest granted hereunder are independent from any other security interest or guarantee which may have been or will be entered into for the benefit of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. None of such other security interest or guarantee shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement or the security interest granted hereunder.

13.General Provisions

1.No Waiver

No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege granted under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Notification of Security Assignment of Intercompany Receivables

Dear Madam or Sir,

We hereby give you notice that on [May 31, 2024], we, Li-Cycle Europe AG, entered into a security assignment agreement (the Security Assignment Agreement) between us as assignor and Glencore Canada Corporation, 100 King Street West, Suite 6900, Toronto, ON M5X 1E3, Canada, acting in its capacity as Collateral Agent (the Collateral Agent). Under the Security Assignment Agreement we assigned for security purposes all of our present and future monetary claims and receivables, whether actual or contingent, whether due now or becoming due or owing thereafter, arising out of any intercompany loans granted or other credit extended to you, as well as any rights and benefits relating thereto, including privileges and ancillary rights in respect thereof and any interest accruing thereon as well as any right to receive the proceeds of any security, warranty, indemnity or guarantee relating thereto.

The relevant intercompany loans or credits (the Intercompany Receivables) are the following:

•[Description of the Intercompany Receivable]

The purpose of the assignment of our rights under the Intercompany Receivables is to secure any claims the secured parties may have under a certain note purchase agreement dated as of March 25, 2024, as amended from time to time (the Note Purchase Agreement), entered into between, among others, Li-Cycle Holdings Corp as issuer and Glencore Ltd. and Glencore Canada Corporation as Purchaser and Collateral Agent (each as defined therein).
