(1) Subject to Section 10.03, all amounts received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower and not previously applied pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied by the Agent as follows (i) first, in reduction of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay any unpaid expenses of the Agent; (ii) second, in reduction of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay any unpaid interest and any Fees which are due and owing; (iii) third, in reduction of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay any claims or losses referred to in Section 17.01; (iv) fourth, in reduction of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay any amounts due and owing on account of any unpaid principal amount of Advances which are due and owing; (v) fifth, in reduction of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay any other unpaid Accommodations Outstanding which are due and owing; (vi) sixth, in reduction of any other obligation of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (vii) seventh, to the Borrowers or such other Persons as may lawfully be entitled to or directed to receive the remainder.

Section 2.09. Computations of Interest and Fees.

(1) All computations of interest shall be made by the Agent taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable, and (i) if based on the Canadian Prime Rate, the Base Rate (Canada) or the Base Rate (United States), on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be; provided that, to the extent that clause (ii) of the definition of Base Rate (Canada) or the Base Rate (United States) contemplates that the Base Rate (Canada) or the Base Rate (United States), as applicable, shall be determined by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, any such determination shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days; and (ii) if based on the LIBOR Rate, on the basis of a year of 360 days.

(2) All computations of Fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such fees are payable.

-42-

(3) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is calculated. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. The rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

Section 2.10. Adjustment for Currency Fluctuations.

If the Agent shall notify the Parent in writing not later than 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on an Exchange Rate Determination Date that solely by reason of fluctuations in currency valuation, the Accommodations Outstanding under the Credit Facility exceed 103% of the Commitment on the date immediately preceding such Exchange Rate Determination Date (the amount by which such Accommodations Outstanding exceed such Commitment on such date being the “Excess”), the Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days thereafter, make a payment by either (x) repaying Floating Rate Advances outstanding under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to the Excess or, (y) if the Borrowers do not have Floating Rate Advances outstanding under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to or greater than the Excess, make a payment by repaying all Floating Rate Advances in amounts less than the Excess (if any) under Credit Facility and by depositing with the Agent an amount equal to the amount by which the Excess exceeds the amount of the Floating Rate Advances under the Credit Facility repaid to be held by the Agent in trust for the applicable Lenders and irrevocably authorizing and directing the Agent to apply such payment to Fixed Rate Advances outstanding under the Credit Facility on the expiry of the Interest Period thereof or as a repayment of any reimbursement obligation in respect of any Drawings outstanding under the Credit Facility on the next applicable maturity date. Any interest on the amount deposited with the Agent shall be held in trust for the Borrowers and shall be paid to the Borrowers on the next Exchange Rate Determination Date.

Section 2.11. Commitment Fees.

(1) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a fee calculated at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate calculated in respect of each Lender, on the unused and uncancelled portion of the Commitment of such Lender (without regard to any Swingline Advances which such Lender is contingently liable for pursuant to Section 3.01(3)), calculated daily and payable in arrears on the third Business Day of each calendar quarter in respect of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, and on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.12. Defaulting Lender Adjustments.

(1) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Law:

(i)

Waivers and Amendments. No Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender. No Defaulting Lender shall be included as a Lender for purposes of the calculation of “Majority Lenders”.

-43-

(ii)

Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to ARTICLE 10 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.01 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 5.10; fourth, as the Parent may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Accommodation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Parent, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Accommodations under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 5.10; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Fronting Letter of Credit Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Accommodations or Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Accommodations were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth herein were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Accommodations made by, and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Accommodations made by, or Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Accommodations and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their applicable Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.12(1)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.12(1)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

-44-

(iii)

Certain Fees.

(A)

No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.11 and Section 5.06 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender); provided such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Section 5.06 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 5.10.

(B)

With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the applicable Fronting Letter of Credit Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Fronting Letter of Credit Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender that has not been reallocated pursuant to clause (iv) below (except where the Borrowers shall have provided Cash Collateral for such Fronting Exposure pursuant to Section 5.10, in which case the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fee relating to the amount of such Cash Collateral) and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)

Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. Upon written notice to the Parent, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations shall be automatically reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata share of the Commitment (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Accommodations Outstanding under the Credit Facility of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the Commitment held by such Non-Defaulting Lender. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of the Borrowers, the Agent or any Fronting Letter of Credit Lender as a result of such breach or a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

-45-

(v)

Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Law, Cash Collateralize each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender’s Fronting Exposure, to the extent such re-allocation has not eliminated the Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.10.

(2) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent, the Agent and each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of Accommodations Outstanding of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Accommodations Outstanding and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the applicable Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.12(1)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(3) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender which has a Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, no Fronting Letter of Credit Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(4) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitment. The Parent may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent (who will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Agent, any Fronting Letter of Credit Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.13. Replacement Lenders.

The Parent at its own cost and expense may designate an Eligible Assignee with the prior written consent of the Agent (and acceptable to each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender and the Swingline Lender), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (a “Replacement Lender”) to assume all or any part of the Commitments and the obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, and to purchase the Accommodations Outstanding of such Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, and within ten (10) Business Days of such designation the Defaulting Lender shall (x) sell to such Replacement Lender, without recourse upon, warranty by or expense to such Defaulting Lender, by way of an Assignment and Assumption for a purchase price equal to (unless such Defaulting Lender agrees to a lesser amount in writing) the outstanding principal amount of the Accommodations made by such Defaulting Lender, plus all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (y) assign to such Replacement Lender the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender. In the event any Defaulting Lender fails to execute the Assignment and Assumption in connection with an assignment pursuant to this Section, the Agent may, but only after such Defaulting Lender has been paid in full what it is entitled to be paid under this Section, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Defaulting Lender, execute such agreement on behalf of the Defaulting Lender, and each Lender hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which shall be coupled with an interest) for such purpose. Upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lender and subject to acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Assumption by the Agent pursuant to Section 18.01(3) hereof, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Commitments). Additionally, in the event a Defaulting Lender has been a Defaulting Lender for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, the Borrowers, at their own cost and expense, may repay in full all outstanding obligations under the Loan Documents (except for the Eligible Hedging Agreements and Other Secured Obligations) owed to such Defaulting Lender and terminate in full all of the Commitment held by such Defaulting Lender, and upon such repayment and termination such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Commitments).

-46-

Section 2.14. Increase of Commitment.

(1) From time to time by notice in writing to the Agent, given at least 180 days prior to the Maturity Date, the Parent may request that the Commitment be increased, such increase to be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 for any one increase (and integrals of $1,000,000), to a maximum aggregate increase in the Commitments taken as a whole of $60,000,000 (each such increase of the Commitment being an “Increased Commitment”). Such notice shall specify the amount of the Increased Commitment requested at such time and the effective date thereof (which date shall not be earlier than 10 Business Days and not later than 30 days after the date of such notice (or such shorter or longer period as agreed to by the Agent and the Parent), the “Effective Date”). The Agent shall immediately advise the Lenders and offer each Lender an opportunity to provide its pro rata share portion of the Increased Commitment (in relation to a Lender’s pro rata share of the Commitment) in respect of such Lender and shall also offer any such Lender willing to provide such portion of the Increased Commitment (each a “Consenting Lender”) the opportunity to provide the amount of the Increased Commitment of each Lender that has not consented to provide its pro rata portion of the Increased Commitment (each a “Non-Consenting Lender” and the pro rata portion attributable to the Increased Commitment of each Non-Consenting Lender (each a “Non-Consenting Lender’s Increased Commitment Amount”)).

-47-

(2) If the Consenting Lenders have not offered to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Increased Commitment Amount, then the Parent may arrange for one or more other financial institutions acceptable to the Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender, acting reasonably (each, a “Substitute Lender”), to offer to provide the balance of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Increased Commitment Amount and any such Substitute Lender that has agreed to provide an Increased Commitment shall sign an addendum to this Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, pursuant to which such Substitute Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement and the parties thereto may specify the other term and conditions thereof (provided that the maturity date for any such Increased Commitment shall not be prior to the Maturity Date).

(3) The availability of any Increased Commitment is subject to the conditions precedent that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.01 (other than those made as of an earlier date only) are true and correct in all material respects as if they were made on the Effective Date; (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (iii) with respect to any Substitute Lender, the consent of the Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.03 would be satisfied on a pro forma basis as of the Effective Date; and (v) the Agent and each Lender shall have been reimbursed by Borrowers for all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the request for, and implementation of, such Increased Commitment. The Increased Commitment shall be effective on the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 3

ADVANCES

Section 3.01. The Advances.

(1) Each applicable Lender severally and not jointly agrees, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable Borrowing Notice, to make Advances to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day prior to the Maturity Date. The Swingline Lender agrees, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make Swingline Advances (on a same day basis) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day prior to the Maturity Date.

(2) Each Borrowing under the Credit Facility shall consist of Advances made to the applicable Borrower on the same day by the applicable Lenders in accordance with each applicable Lender’s relevant rateable portion. Each requested Advance shall be in at least the minimum aggregate amount and in an integral multiple of the amount set forth in Schedule 5.

(3) The Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Agent who shall forthwith notify the Lenders that the principal amount of the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Advances to the Borrowers shall be funded with a Borrowing or Borrowings under the Credit Facility (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been given (y) on the Maturity Date if the Borrowers shall not have repaid all Swingline Advances on or prior to such day, and (z) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in which case Advances under the Credit Facility) (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the next Business Day by all Lenders so that, immediately after the Mandatory Borrowing, each Lender shall share rateably in the Accommodations Outstanding under the Credit Facility and the proceeds of such Mandatory Borrowing shall be applied directly by the Agent to repay Advances outstanding to the Swingline Lender. Each Lender shall make Advances pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in writing by the Agent notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for Borrowings otherwise required under this Agreement; (ii) that the conditions specified in ARTICLE 7 are not then satisfied; (iii) that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing; and (v) any reduction in the Commitment after any Swingline Advance was made by the Swingline Lender. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall cause each Swingline Advance to be repaid in full on the last Business Day of each calendar week.

-48-

Section 3.02. Procedure for Borrowing.

(1) Except as provided in Section 3.02(2), each Borrowing shall be made on the number of days prior notice specified in Schedule 5, given not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by the applicable Borrower to the Agent. Each notice of a Borrowing (a “Borrowing Notice”) shall be in substantially the form of Schedule 1, shall be irrevocable and binding on the applicable Borrower and shall specify (i) the requested date of the Borrowing; (ii) the Type of Advance requested; (iii) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing; and (iv) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Advance, the initial Interest Period. Upon receipt by the Agent of funds from the applicable Lenders and fulfilment of the applicable conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7, the Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower in accordance with ARTICLE 2.

(2) Each Swingline Advance (i) may be made on the same day’s telephone request (followed by notification via a Borrowing Notice) made on or before 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on such day and in such amount, as requested by the applicable Borrower to the Swingline Lender, providing the same information to the Swingline Lender as would be contained in a Borrowing Notice (which shall be deemed to have been so provided); or (ii) shall be made by the Swingline Lender, without notice from or to the Borrowers, in respect of any overdraft in any one or more of the accounts of the Borrowers with the Swingline Lender by deposit to such account of an amount equal to such overdraft. All payments of principal and interest with respect to a Swingline Advance shall be made by the Borrowers, as applicable, directly to the Swingline Lender, and the Swingline Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to debit any bank account maintained by the Borrowers with the Swingline Lender in order to effect such payment.

Section 3.03. Conversions and Rollovers Regarding Advances.

(1) Subject to the Types of Accommodation and Advances, the Borrowers may elect to (i) change any Advance outstanding, or any portion thereof, in each case, in the minimum aggregate amount referred to in Schedule 5 to another Type of Advance or convert an Advance outstanding to another Type of Accommodation (y) in the case of a Floating Rate Advance, as of any Business Day, and (z) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Advance, as of the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance; provided that in the case of the change or conversion of an Advance denominated in one currency to an Advance denominated in another currency, the principal amount and interest thereon of such Advance to be changed or converted is paid in full on the date of such change or conversion; or (ii) continue any LIBOR Rate Advance for a further Interest Period beginning on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance.

-49-

(2) Each election to change or convert an Advance into another Type of Advance or Type of Accommodation or to continue a LIBOR Rate Advance for a further Interest Period, shall be made on the number of days prior notice specified in Schedule 5 given, in each case, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by the applicable Borrower to the Agent. Each such notice (an “Interest Rate Election Notice”) shall be given substantially in the form of Schedule 2 and shall be irrevocable and binding upon the applicable Borrower. If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver an Interest Rate Election Notice to the Agent for any LIBOR Rate Advance as provided in this Section 3.03(2), such LIBOR Rate Advance shall be converted (as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period) to and be outstanding as a Base Rate (Canada) Advance or Base Rate (United States) Advance, as applicable. No Borrower shall select an Interest Period which conflicts with the definition of Interest Period.

Section 3.04. Circumstances Requiring Canadian Dollar Advances

(1) If, in connection with any U.S. Dollar Advance, a Lender determines in good faith and notifies the Parent and the Agent that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting financial markets inside or outside Canada, deposits of U.S. Dollars are unavailable to such Lender; (ii) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided in the definition of LIBOR Rate; (iii) the making or continuation of any U.S. Dollar Advances to the Borrowers has been made impracticable (y) by the occurrence of a contingency (other than a mere increase in rates payable by such Lender to fund the Advances) which adversely affects the funding of the Credit Facility at any interest rate computed on the basis of the LIBOR Rate, or (z) by reason of a change since the date of this Agreement in any applicable Law or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Entity which affects such Lender and which results in the LIBOR Rate no longer representing the effective cost to such Lender of deposits in such market; or (iv) any Change in Law has made it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain or to give effect to its obligations in respect of U.S. Dollar Advances as contemplated hereby, then:

(a) the right of the Borrowers to select any such Type of Advance from such Lender shall be suspended from the date of such notice thereof by such Lender to the Agent until such Lender determines, and has given notice of such determination to the Agent, that the circumstances causing the suspension no longer exist (which it shall do as soon as practicable thereafter);

(b) if any such Type of Advance is not yet outstanding, any applicable Accommodation Notice shall be suspended in respect of such Lender from the date of notice thereof by such Lender to the Agent until such Lender determines, and has given notice of such determination to the Agent, that the circumstances causing the suspension no longer exist (which it shall do as soon as practicable thereafter);

(c) if any LIBOR Rate Advance is already outstanding at any time when the right of the Borrowers to select a LIBOR Rate Advance is suspended, it and all other LIBOR Rate Advances shall be converted automatically into a Base Rate (Canada) Advance or Base Rate (United States) Advance, as applicable, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto (or on such earlier date as may be required to comply with any applicable Law) or, if at such time the right of the Borrowers to select a Base Rate (Canada) Advance or Base Rate (United States) Advance is suspended, then any such LIBOR Rate Advance shall be converted automatically into a Canadian Prime Rate Advance on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto (or on such earlier date as may be required to comply with any applicable Law) in a principal amount equal to the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of such LIOR Rate Advance, determined on the date of conversion thereof; and

-50-

(d) if any relevant Base Rate (Canada) Advance or Base Rate (United States) Advance is already outstanding at any time when the right of the Borrower to select Base Rate (Canada) Advances or Base Rate (United States) Advance is suspended, it and all other Base Rate (Canada) Advances or Base Rate (United States) Advance shall be converted automatically into a Canadian Prime Rate Advance as soon as possible thereafter on a date fixed by the Agent, notice of which shall promptly be given to the Borrower, in a principal amount equal to the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of such Base Rate (Canada) Advance or Base Rate (United States) Advance, determined on the date of conversion thereof.

Section 3.05. Interest on Advances.

(1) The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance to it from the date of such Advance (or conversion of another Type of Advance into such Advance) until the date on which the principal amount of the Advance is repaid in full (or is converted into another Type of Advance or Type of Accommodation) at the following rates per annum:

(a) Base Rate (Canada) Advances. If and so long as such Advance is a Base Rate (Canada) Advance and subject as provided in the following sentence, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate (Canada) in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin, calculated daily and payable in arrears (i) on the first Business Day of each month in each year; and (ii) on the day on which such Base Rate (Canada) Advance becomes due and payable in full pursuant to the provisions hereof. Any amount of principal of, or interest on, any such Base Rate (Canada) Advance which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest (both before and after judgment), from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (Canada) in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin plus, to the extent permitted by law, 2%.

(b) Base Rate (United States) Advances. If and so long as such Advance is a Base Rate (United States) Advance and subject as provided in the following sentence, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate (United States) in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin, calculated daily and payable in arrears (i) on the first Business Day of each month in each year; and (ii) on the day on which such Base Rate (United States) Advance becomes due and payable in full pursuant to the provisions hereof. Any amount of principal of, or interest on, any such Base Rate (United States) Advance which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest (both before and after judgment), from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (United States) in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin plus, to the extent permitted by law, 2%.

-51-

(c) Canadian Prime Rate Advances. If and so long as such Advance is a Canadian Prime Rate Advance and subject as provided in the following sentence, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin, calculated daily and payable in arrears (i) on the first Business Day of each month in each year; and (ii) on the day on which such Canadian Prime Rate Advance becomes due and payable in full pursuant to the provisions hereof. Any amount of principal of, or interest on, any such Canadian Prime Rate Advance which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest (both before and after judgment), from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin plus, to the extent permitted by law, 2%.

(d) LIBOR Rate Advances. If and so long as such Advance is a LIBOR Rate Advance and subject as provided in the following sentence, at a rate per annum equal at all times during any Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Advance to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, calculated daily and payable in arrears, and without duplication, (i) in the case of an Interest Period longer than 3 months, on the date falling three months from the beginning of such Interest Period and on the date falling three months thereafter, and so on from time to time during such Interest Period; (ii) on the last day of such Interest Period; and (iii) on the day on which such LIBOR Rate Advance becomes due and payable in full pursuant to the provisions hereof. Any amount of principal of or interest on any such LIBOR Rate Advance which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest (both before and after judgment), from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (Canada) or Base Rate (United States), as applicable, in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin plus, to the extent permitted by law, 2%.

(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrowers shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Section 4.01. Acceptances and Drafts.

(1) Each applicable Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) severally agrees, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable Drawing Notice, from time to time on any Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (i) in the case of a Lender which is willing and able to accept Drafts, to create acceptances (“Banker’s Acceptances”) by accepting Drafts and to purchase such Banker’s Acceptances in accordance with Section 4.03(2); and (ii) in the case of a Lender which is unwilling or unable to accept Drafts, to purchase completed Drafts (which have not been and will not be accepted by the Lender or any other Lender) in accordance with Section 4.03(2), in each case, as requested by the Canadian Borrower in accordance with this ARTICLE 4.

(2) Each requested Drawing shall be in the minimum aggregate Face Amount and in an integral multiple of the amount set forth in Schedule 5 and shall consist of the creation and purchase of Banker’s Acceptances or the purchase of Drafts on the same day, in each case for the applicable Drawing Price, by the relevant Lenders, in accordance with Section 4.03 and their respective applicable Commitment.

(3) The aggregate Face Amount of the Banker’s Acceptances to be created and purchased by a Lender or Drafts to be purchased by a Lender on any Drawing Date (upon a conversion or otherwise), shall be determined by the Agent based upon each Lender’s rateable portion of the Drawing, except that, if the Face Amount of any Banker’s Acceptance to be created and purchased or Draft to be purchased, determined as aforesaid, would not be in an integral multiple of Cdn.$100,000, the Agent in its sole discretion may increase such Face Amount to the nearest whole multiple of Cdn.$100,000 or may reduce such Face Amount to the nearest whole multiple of Cdn.$100,000.

Section 4.02. Form of Drafts.

Each Draft presented by the Canadian Borrower shall (i) be in an integral multiple of Cdn.$100,000; (ii) be dated the date of the Drawing; and (iii) mature and be payable by the Canadian Borrower (in common with all other Drafts presented in connection with such Drawing) on a Business Day which occurs 1, 2, 3 or 6 months, at the election of the Canadian Borrower, after the Drawing Date and on or prior to the Maturity Date. It is the intention of the parties that all Drafts accepted by the Lenders (other than a Lender which elects to accept Banker’s Acceptances in the form of bills of exchange instead of depository bills) under this Agreement shall be issued in the form of a depository bill, be deposited with and be made payable to a “clearing house” (as defined in the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada)). The Agent and the Lenders shall effect the following practices and procedures and, subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders, establish and notify the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders of any additional procedures, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the requirements of the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada), as are reasonably necessary to accomplish such intention: (i) each Draft accepted and purchased by a Lender hereunder shall have marked prominently and legibly on its face and within its text, at or before the time of issue, the words “This is a depository bill subject to the Depository Bills and Notes Act”; (ii) any reference to authentication of such Banker’s Acceptance will be removed; and (iii) such Banker’s Acceptance shall not be marked with any words prohibiting negotiation, transfer or assignment of it or of an interest in it.

Section 4.03. Procedure for Drawing.

(1) Each Drawing shall be made on notice (a “Drawing Notice”) given by the Canadian Borrower to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the number of days’ notice specified in Schedule 5. Each Drawing Notice shall be in substantially the form of Schedule 3, shall be irrevocable, except as provided in Section 4.06(1), shall be binding on the Canadian Borrower and shall specify (i) the Drawing Date; (ii) the aggregate Face Amount of Drafts to be accepted, if applicable, and purchased; and (iii) the term thereof.

(2) Not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on an applicable Drawing Date, each applicable Lender shall complete one or more Drafts in accordance with the Drawing Notice and either (i) accept the Drafts and purchase the Banker’s Acceptances so created for the Drawing Price; or (ii) purchase the Drafts for the Drawing Price. In each case, upon receipt by the Agent of funds from the applicable Lenders on account of the Drawing Price and upon fulfilment of the applicable conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7, the Agent shall make such funds available to the Canadian Borrower in accordance with ARTICLE 2.

(3) The Canadian Borrower shall, at the request of any Lender, issue one or more non-interest bearing, promissory notes (each a “BA Equivalent Note”) payable on the maturity date of any unaccepted Draft referred to above, in such form as such Lender may reasonably specify and in a principal amount equal to the Face Amount of, and in exchange for, any unaccepted Draft which such Lender has purchased in accordance with Section 4.03(2).

(4) Banker’s Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes purchased by a Lender may be held by it for its own account until the maturity date thereof or sold by it at any time prior to that date in any relevant Canadian market in such Lender’s sole discretion.

Section 4.04. Presigned Draft Forms.

(1) Subject to paragraph (2) of this Section 4.04, in order to enable the Lenders to create Banker’s Acceptances or complete Drafts in the manner specified in this ARTICLE 4, the Canadian Borrower shall supply each Lender or its agent with such number of Drafts as it may reasonably request, duly signed on behalf of the Canadian Borrower. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify the Canadian Borrower against any loss or improper use thereof by such Lender or its agents, will exercise and cause its agents to exercise such care in the custody and safekeeping of Drafts as it would exercise in the custody and safekeeping of similar property owned by it and will, upon request by the Canadian Borrower, promptly advise the Canadian Borrower of the number and designations, if any, of uncompleted Drafts held by it or its agents for the Canadian Borrower. The signature of any officer of the Canadian Borrower on a Draft may be mechanically reproduced and any BA Instrument bearing a facsimile signature shall be binding upon the Canadian Borrower as if it had been manually signed. Even if the individuals whose manual or facsimile signature appears on any BA Instrument no longer hold office at the date of its acceptance by the applicable Lender or at any time after such date, any BA Instrument so signed shall be valid and binding upon the Canadian Borrower. No Lender shall be liable for its failure to accept a Draft as required hereby if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to the failure of the Canadian Borrower to provide Drafts to such Lender on a timely basis.

-54-

(2) The Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, any BA Instrument necessary to enable each Lender to make Drawings in the manner specified in this ARTICLE 4. All BA Instruments signed or endorsed on the Canadian Borrower’s behalf by a Lender shall be binding on the Canadian Borrower, all as if duly signed or endorsed by the Canadian Borrower. Each Lender shall (i) maintain a record with respect to any BA Instrument completed in accordance with this Section 4.04(1), voided by it for any reason, accepted and purchased or purchased or, in the case of a BA Equivalent Note, exchanged for another BA Instrument by it pursuant to this Section 4.04, and cancelled at its respective maturity; and (ii) retain such records in the manner and for the statutory periods provided by Laws which apply to such Lender and make such records available to the Canadian Borrower acting reasonably. On request by the Canadian Borrower, a Lender shall cancel and return to the possession of the Canadian Borrower all BA Instruments which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Canadian Borrower and which are held by such Lender and are not required to make Drawings in accordance with this ARTICLE 4.

Section 4.05. Payment, Conversion or Renewal of BA Instruments.

(1) Upon the maturity of a BA Instrument, the Canadian Borrower may (i) elect to issue a replacement Banker’s Acceptance or Draft by giving a Drawing Notice in accordance with Section 4.03(1); (ii) elect to have all or a portion of the Face Amount of the BA Instrument converted to an Advance (provided that in the case of a conversion of a portion only of the Face Amount of the BA Instrument, the remaining Face Amount, if any, of such BA Instrument shall not be less than the minimum Face Amount set forth in Schedule 5) by giving a Borrowing Notice in accordance with Section 3.02(1); or (iii) pay, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the maturity date for the BA Instrument, an amount in Canadian Dollars equal to the Face Amount of the BA Instrument (notwithstanding that a Lender may be the holder of it at maturity). Any such payment shall satisfy the Canadian Borrower’s obligations under the BA Instrument to which it relates and the relevant Lender shall (y) then be solely responsible for the payment of the BA Instrument, and (z) thereafter indemnify the Canadian Borrower from any loss, cost or expense suffered by or imposed upon the Canadian Borrower in respect of any claim from a holder of such BA Instrument that the Canadian Borrower is liable for payment thereunder or any payment by the Canadian Borrower in connection with such claim.

(2) If the Canadian Borrower fails to pay any BA Instrument when due or request a replacement in the Face Amount of such BA Instrument pursuant to Section 4.05(1), the unpaid amount due and payable shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Advance and shall bear interest calculated and payable as provided in ARTICLE 3. This conversion shall occur as of the maturity date of the BA Instrument and without any necessity for the Canadian Borrower to give a Borrowing Notice.

-55-

Section 4.06. Circumstances Making Banker’s Acceptances Unavailable.

(1) If, by reason of circumstances affecting the money market generally, as determined by the Agent, there is no market for Bankers’ Acceptances and Drafts, (i) the right of the Canadian Borrower to request a Drawing shall be suspended until the circumstances causing a suspension no longer exist; and (ii) any Drawing Notice which is outstanding shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice requesting a Canadian Prime Rate Advance unless it has been revoked by the Canadian Borrower before the specified Drawing Date.

(2) The Agent shall promptly notify the Canadian Borrower of the suspension of the Canadian Borrower’s right to request a Drawing and of the termination of any such suspension.

(4) Prior to the Issue Date, the applicable Borrower shall specify a precise description of the documents and the verbatim text of any certificates to be presented by the Beneficiary which, if presented by the Beneficiary, would require the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender to make payment under its applicable Letter of Credit.

-59-

(2) As between the applicable Borrower and the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender, the applicable Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit issued by the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender, by the Beneficiary of such Letter of Credit.

Section 5.09. Repayments.

(1) If the applicable Borrower shall be required to repay the Accommodations Outstanding under the Credit Facility pursuant to ARTICLE 2 or ARTICLE 10, then the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender, to the extent required pursuant thereto and in the amount provided therein, an amount equal to the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender’s contingent liability in respect of any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder, including any Letter of Credit which is the subject matter of any order, judgment, injunction or other such determination (a “Judicial Order”) restricting payment by the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender under and in accordance with such Letter of Credit beyond the expiration date stated therein other than any Judicial Order permanently enjoining the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender from paying under such Letter of Credit. Payment in respect of each such Letter of Credit shall be due in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated.

-60-

(2) The Fronting Letter of Credit Lender shall, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it, upon the date on which any final and non-appealable order, judgment or other such determination has been rendered or issued either terminating the applicable Judicial Order or permanently enjoining the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender from paying under such Letter of Credit, pay to the applicable Borrower an amount equal to the aggregate of (y) the difference between the amount paid to the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender pursuant to Section 5.09(1) and the amounts paid by the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender under such Letter of Credit, and (z) interest on such amount, if any, determined at the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender’s applicable wholesale deposit rate for the relevant currency.

(3) The Fronting Letter of Credit Lender shall, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it, upon the earlier of (i) the date on which either (x) the original counterpart of such Letter of Credit is returned to the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender for cancellation, or (y) the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender is released by the Beneficiary from any further obligations in respect thereof; and (ii) the expiry (to the extent permitted by Law) of such Letter of Credit, pay to the Borrower an amount equal to the aggregate of (y) the difference between the amount paid to the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender pursuant to Section 5.09(1) and the amounts paid by the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender under such Letter of Credit, and (z) interest on such amount, if any, determined at the Fronting Letter of Credit Lender’s applicable wholesale deposit rate for the relevant currency.

Section 5.10. Cash Collateral.

(1) Fronting Exposure. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within three (3) Business Days following the receipt by the applicable Borrower of written request of the Agent or any Fronting Letter of Credit Lender (with a copy to the Agent) the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such Fronting Letter of Credit Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.12(1)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(2) The applicable Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, shall grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Fronting Letter of Credit Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of the applicable Borrower’s Letter of Credit Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (3) below. If at any time the Agent reasonably determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the applicable Fronting Letter of Credit Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount, the applicable Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 5.10 or Section 2.12 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to satisfy the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

-61-

(4) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Fronting Letter of Credit Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.10 (and shall be returned to the applicable Borrower within three (3) Business Days) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender whether by a cure of such status in accordance with Section 2.12(2) or by removal of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.13), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and the applicable Fronting Letter of Credit Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Fronting Letter of Credit Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the applicable Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Third, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including, but not limited to, default interest and interest payable before and after the commencement of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding) on the Accommodations, rateably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

-86-

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Accommodations (including an amount necessary to Cash Collateralize the undrawn Face Amount of any Letter of Credit), the Swap Termination Value under Eligible Hedging Agreements and all Other Secured Obligations, rateably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, rateably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth held by them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due), to the Parent or as otherwise required by Law;

provided, however, that proceeds of any Collateral shall only be applied to the Secured Obligations secured by such Collateral as specified in the applicable Loan Document.

(2) Amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Secured Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Secured Obligations remain outstanding, to the Parent or as otherwise required by Law.

ARTICLE 11

YIELD PROTECTION

Section 11.01. Increased Costs.

(1) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(b) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Accommodations made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 11.02 and the imposition, or any change in the rate, of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender; or

(c) impose on any Lender or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Accommodations made by such Lender,

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Accommodation (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Accommodation), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of such Lender the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

-87-

(2) Capital/Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or liquidity or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Accommodations made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(3) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (“Additional Compensation”), including a description of the event by reason of which it believes it is entitled to such compensation, and supplying reasonable supporting evidence (including, in the event of a Change in Law, a photocopy of the applicable Law evidencing such change) and reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the applicable Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. In the event the Lender subsequently recovers all or part of the Additional Compensation paid by the applicable Borrower, it shall promptly repay an equal amount to the applicable Borrower. The obligation to pay such Additional Compensation for subsequent periods will continue until the earlier of termination of the Accommodation or the Commitment affected by the Change in Law, change in capital requirement or the lapse or cessation of the Change in Law giving rise to the initial Additional Compensation. A Lender shall make reasonable efforts to limit the incidence of any such Additional Compensation and seek recovery for the account of the applicable Borrower upon the applicable Borrower’s request at the applicable Borrower’s expense, provided such Lender in its reasonable determination suffers no appreciable economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, a Lender shall only be entitled to rely upon the provisions of this Section 11.01 if and for so long as it is not treating the applicable Borrower in any materially different or in any less favourable manner than is applicable to any other customers of such Lender, where such other customers are bound by similar provisions to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.01.

(4) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, except that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the applicable Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore, unless the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, in which case the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

-88-

Section 11.02. Taxes.

(1) Payments Subject to Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by applicable Law; provided that if any Loan Party, the Agent or any Lender is required by applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax (including any Other Taxes), the sum payable shall be increased by such Loan Party when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments for Indemnified Taxes (which excludes, for the avoidance of doubt, Excluded Taxes) (including deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments for Indemnified Taxes (which excludes, for the avoidance of doubt, Excluded Taxes) been required, (ii) such Loan Party shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent), and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law.

(2) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (1) above, each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law.

(3) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within 15 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of any payments by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Agent or such Lender in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Entity. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(4) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Entity, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Entity evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

-89-

(5) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the foregoing in this Section 11.02(5), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation or information of any kind which it is not permitted to provide under applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent: (i) in the case of a Lender that is a “U.S. person” as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, an IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax, and (ii) in the case of a Lender that is not a “U.S. person” as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, an IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8IMY (including all applicable attachments) and, in the case of a Lender claiming the “portfolio interest exemption” from U.S. federal withholding tax, a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code along with its executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E.

(6) Treatment of Certain Refunds and Tax Reductions. If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 11.02, it shall pay to the applicable Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any net after-Tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Entity with respect to such refund). A Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Entity) to the Agent or such Lender if the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will the Agent or a Lender be required to pay over any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 11.02(6), the payment of which would place the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, in a less favourable net after-Tax position than the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, would have been if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid, deducted or withheld. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund.

-90-

(7) If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment under FATCA. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA shall include any amendments to FATCA made after the date of this Agreement.

(8) Each Lender shall indemnify the Agent within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to and properly payable by such Lender that are payable or paid by the Agent, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Entity. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (8). The agreements in this paragraph (8) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent.

Section 11.03. Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders.

(1) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 11.01, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes, including Other Taxes, or any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Entity for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 11.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Accommodations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender (with the prior consent of the Borrowers), such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.01 or Section 11.02, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(2) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 11.01, if a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, including Other Taxes, or any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Entity for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 11.02 or if any Lender’s obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 11.04, then the Borrowers may either, at their sole expense and effort, upon 10 days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent: (i) repay all outstanding amounts due to such affected Lender (or such portion which has not been acquired pursuant to clause (ii) below) and thereupon such Commitment of the affected Lender shall be permanently cancelled and the aggregate Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the same amount and the Commitment of each of the other Lenders shall remain the same; or (ii) require such Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, ARTICLE 18), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents (other than Eligible Hedging Agreements and Other Secured Agreements) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

-91-

(a) the Borrowers pay the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 18.01(2)(f);

(b) the assigning Lender receives payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Accommodations Outstanding and participations in disbursements under Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any breakage costs and amounts required to be paid under this Agreement as a result of prepayment to a Lender) (other than Eligible Hedging Agreements and Other Secured Agreements) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 11.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 11.02, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 11.04. Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Entity has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Accommodations, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any particular rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Parent through the Agent, any obligation of such Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Parent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if conversion would avoid the activity that is unlawful, convert any Accommodations, or take any necessary steps with respect to any Letters of Credit in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

ARTICLE 12

RIGHT OF SETOFF

Section 12.01. Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or any Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or applicable Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that if any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12(1)(ii) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. The rights of each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that the Lenders or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Parent and the Agent after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. If any Affiliate of a Lender exercises any rights under this Section 12.01, it shall share the benefit received in accordance with Section 13.01 as if the benefit had been received by the Lender of which it is an Affiliate.

ARTICLE 13

SHARING OF PAYMENTS BY LENDERS

Section 13.01. Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender, by exercising any right of setoff as permitted by ARTICLE 12, obtains any payment or other reduction that might result in such Lender receiving payment or other reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Accommodations and accrued interest thereon or other obligations hereunder greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such payment or other reduction shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Accommodations Outstanding and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Accommodations Outstanding and other amounts owing them, provided that:

-93-

(1) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest,

(2) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers or applicable Guarantor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Accommodations or participations in disbursements under Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Borrowers or any Guarantor (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply); and

(3) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (w) any payment made while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of obligations of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to such Lender that do not arise under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (x) any payment made in respect of an obligation that is secured by a Permitted Lien or that is otherwise entitled to priority over the obligations under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (y) any reduction arising from an amount owing to the Borrowers or any Guarantor upon the termination of derivatives entered into between the Borrowers or any Guarantor and such Lender, or (z) any payment to which such Lender is entitled as a result of any form of credit protection obtained by such Lender.

The Borrowers and each Guarantor consents to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers and each Guarantor rights of setoff with respect to such participation in accordance with ARTICLE 12 as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers and each Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

ARTICLE 14

AGENT’S CLAWBACK

Section 14.01. Agent’s Clawback.

(1) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any advance of funds that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable advance available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Accommodation included in such advance. If the Lender does not do so forthwith, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Agent forthwith on written demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the advance in question. Any such payment by the applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the applicable Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make such payment to the Agent.

-94-

(2) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute the amount due to the Lenders. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation.

ARTICLE 15

AGENCY

Section 15.01. Appointment and Authority.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Royal Bank of Canada (together with its successors and permitted assigns in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) hereunder to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (other than Eligible Hedging Agreements and Other Secured Agreements) and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Lenders authorizes the Agent to (x) enter into, on its own behalf and on behalf of each Lender, a subordination agreement in respect of Subordinated Debt; and (y) release any Guarantor from its respective guarantee and Security in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or in order to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement, including a Disposition permitted hereunder (in each case, in whole or in part as may be necessary in the circumstance). The provisions of this Article (other than Section 15.07) are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrowers nor any Guarantor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions, except in respect of this Section 15.01. In addition to the foregoing, the Agent shall provide and/or deliver such “know your client”, anti-money laundering or similar information in respect of the Loan Parties as may be reasonably requested by a Lender and that is in the possession of the Agent.

Section 15.02. Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent and without any duty to account to the Lenders.

-95-

Section 15.03. Exculpatory Provisions.

(1) The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents), but the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Parent’s Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(2) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as is necessary, or as the Agent believes in good faith is necessary, under the provisions of the Loan Documents) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing the Default is given to the Agent by the Parent or a Lender.

(3) Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

Section 15.04. Reliance by Agent.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Accommodation that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Accommodation or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

-96-

Section 15.05. Indemnification of Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent and hold it harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties), rateably according to its Applicable Percentage (and not jointly or jointly and severally) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel, which may be incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or the transactions therein contemplated. However, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Section 15.06. Delegation of Duties.

The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent from among the Lenders (including the Person serving as Agent) and their respective Affiliates. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The provisions of this Article and other provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Agent shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Section 15.07. Replacement of Agent.

(1) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Parent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with the prior consent of the Parent, to appoint a successor, which shall be a Lender and having an office in Toronto, Ontario or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Toronto. The Agent may also be removed at any time by the Majority Lenders upon 30 days’ notice to the Agent and the Parent as long as the Majority Lenders, with the prior consent of the Parent, appoint and obtain the acceptance of a successor within such 30 days, which shall be a Lender having an office in Toronto, or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Toronto.

(2) If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications specified in Section 15.07(1); provided that if the Agent shall notify the Parent and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in the preceding paragraph.

(3) Upon a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former Agent, and the former Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in the preceding paragraph) other than as a result of such former Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the termination of the service of the former Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE 15 and of ARTICLE 17 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such former Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the former Agent was acting as Agent.

Section 15.08. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 15.09. Collective Action of the Lenders.

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any collateral security and the remedies provided under the Loan Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders (including the Hedge Lenders and Service Lenders) collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under any collateral security are to be exercised not severally, but by the Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including, without limitation, any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder but that any such action shall be taken only by the Agent with the prior written agreement of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given, it shall co-operate fully with the Agent to the extent requested by the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders.

The Parent shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of a Lender or the Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b) If the Agent has ascertained the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(i)

shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii)

shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from the Loan Parties or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

-102-

(2) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Accommodations Outstanding at the time owing to it); provided that:

(a) except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Accommodations Outstanding at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment being assigned (which for this purpose includes Accommodations Outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Accommodations Outstanding of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent otherwise consents to a lower amount;

(b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Accommodations Outstanding or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate credits on a non-pro rata basis;

(f) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of Cdn.$3,500 payable by the Eligible Assignee (unless such assignment is from a Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof) and such Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to the Agent; and

(g) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Parent and the Agent, the applicable pro-rata share of Accommodations previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (1) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, each Fronting Letter of Credit Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (2) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Accommodations and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with the percentage equivalent of the ratio which such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the Commitment bears to the aggregate amount of the Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to clause (d) of this paragraph 2, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement with respect to the interest assigned and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including any collateral security, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of ARTICLE 11 and ARTICLE 17, and shall continue to be liable for any breach of this Agreement by such Lender, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any payment by an assignee to an assigning Lender in connection with an assignment or transfer shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrowers or a new Accommodations to the Borrowers.

-104-

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Agent shall have no responsibility for monitoring any assignments or participations to Ineligible Transferees. The list of all Ineligible Transferees shall be made available to all Lenders.

The Agent shall maintain at one of its offices in Toronto, Ontario a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Accommodations Outstanding owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose and as agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Accommodations Outstanding or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(4) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Parent or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Loan Party, any Affiliate of a Loan Party, a Defaulting Lender or an Ineligible Transferee) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Accommodations Outstanding owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Parent, the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any payment by a Participant to a Lender in connection with a sale of a participation shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrowers or a new Loan to the Borrowers.

-105-

Subject to paragraph (5) of this Section, the Parent and each Borrower agrees that to the extent permitted by Law, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of ARTICLE 12 as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Section, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to ARTICLE 13 as though it were a Lender.

(5) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 11.01 and Section 11.02 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of ARTICLE 11.

(6) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, but no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any other subsection of this Section 19.01, an Alternative Interest Rate Amendment entered into as contemplated in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days after the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from Required Lenders stating that they object to such amendment (which amendment shall not be effective prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day notice period).

(1) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due to a Lender in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given or, if permitted by applicable Law, on the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied.

(2) The obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Lender under any of the Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, the Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Loan Parties agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify the Lender, against any loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Lender shall remit such excess to the Parent.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

ARTICLE 23

TREATMENT OF CERTAIN INFORMATION: CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 23.01. Treatment of Certain Information: Confidentiality; Non-Public Information.

(1) Each of the Agent and the Lenders shall maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to it, its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (to the extent necessary to administer or enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, with the applicable Agent or Lender being responsible for such Person’s compliance with this Section), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative, credit-linked note or similar transaction relating to the Parent and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Parent or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by such Person or actually known to such Person or (y) becomes available to, or has been made available to, the Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party, and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, by Agent to any Secured Party. If the Agent or any Lender is requested or required to disclose any Information (other than to any bank or other regulatory examiner) pursuant to or as required by applicable Laws or by a subpoena or similar legal process, the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to provide the Parent with notice of such requests or obligation in sufficient time so that the Parent may seek an appropriate protective order or waive the Agent’s, or such Lender’s, as applicable, compliance with the provisions of this Section, and the Agent and such Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent reasonable, co-operate with the Parent in the Parent obtaining any such protective order.

-109-

(2) For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Agent may disclose to any agency or organization that assigns standard identification numbers to loan facilities such basic information describing the facilities provided hereunder as is necessary to assign unique identifiers (and, if requested, supply a copy of this Agreement), it being understood that the Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to make available to the public only such Information as such person normally makes available in the course of its business of assigning identification numbers.

(3) In addition, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Agent may provide basic information concerning the Parent, the Borrowers and the Guarantors and the credit facilities established herein to Loan Pricing Corporation and/or other recognized trade publishers of information for general circulation in the loan market.

(4) MNPI. Parent and the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (A) the Loan Documents and all reports, notices, communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, the Loan Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) may be disseminated by, or on behalf of, Agent, and made available, to the Lenders by posting such Borrower Materials on an E-System; and (B) certain of the Lenders (each a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non public information (“MNPI”) with respect to Parent and its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Loan Parties hereby agree that they shall (and shall cause such parent company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, to) (A) identify in writing, and (B) to the extent reasonably practicable, clearly and conspicuously mark any Borrower Materials that is publicly available or that is not material for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws as “PUBLIC”. The Loan Parties agree that by identifying such Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing such Information with the SEC, then Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. The Loan Parties further represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that the following Information shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI: (I) the Loan Documents, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, and (II) administrative materials of a customary nature prepared by the Loan Parties or Agent (including any Accommodation Notice and any similar request or notice posted on or through an E-System). Before distribution of Borrower Materials, the Loan Parties agree to execute and deliver to Agent a letter authorizing distribution of the evaluation materials to prospective Lenders and their employees willing to receive MNPI, and a separate letter authorizing distribution of evaluation materials that do not contain MNPI and represent that no MNPI is contained therein. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the list of Ineligible Transferees does not constitute MNPI and may be posted to all Lenders by Agent (including any updates or supplements thereto).

-110-

(5) Each of Agent and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it may receive MNPI hereunder concerning the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Laws (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations). Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non public information with respect to the Parent or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

ARTICLE 24
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF EEA FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Section 24.01. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail In of EEA Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution, and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
