LEGAL*62435425.10

62 -
(b) Electing and Non-Electing Lenders . Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, pursuant to a Request for Extension, elect to extend the current Maturity Date with respect to its own Commitment amount, subject to such conditions and amendments respecting the Facilities, if any, as the Electing Lenders unanimously agree upon and are acceptable to the Cdn. Borrower. Each Lender will make its election by notice to the Agent on or before 30 days from the date of the Request for Extension (the “ Election Period ”). Each Lender which grants an Extension is referred to herein as an “ Electing Lender ”, and each Lender which elects not to grant an Extension, or fails to make such election within the Election Period, is referred to herein as a “ Non-Electing Lender ”.
(c) No Extension . No Extension shall occur unless those Lenders who wish to grant an Extension pursuant to a Request for Extension represent at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders who are not Non-Electing Lenders at the time of such Request for Extension. If no Extension occurs, the then current Maturity Date of the Lenders who are not already Non-Electing Lenders will, subject to Sections 3.3(h) and 3.3(i), continue for each such Lender and each such Lender’s Commitment will remain available for Drawdown until its Maturity Date; provided that the Cdn. Borrower may again make a Request for Extension during the next Request Period.
(d) Extension Notice . Promptly after the expiry of the Election Period, the Agent will notify the Cdn. Borrower of the decision of the Lenders with respect to the Request for Extension (the “ Extension Notice ”). The Extension Notice will identify the Electing Lenders and NonElecting Lenders, the term of the Extension, if granted, and list the conditions or amendments, if any, respecting the Facilities as the Electing Lenders have unanimously agreed upon as a condition to the granting of the Extension. The Cdn. Borrower shall, within 20 days of receipt of the Extension Notice from the Agent, notify the Agent as to its acceptance or rejection of the conditions or amendments, if any, stipulated by the Electing Lenders respecting the Facilities. If the Cdn. Borrower accepts all such conditions or amendments requested by the Electing Lenders, the Maturity Date with respect to the Electing Lenders will be deemed to have been extended for that period of time set out in the Extension Notice and, subject to Sections 3.3(h) and 3.3(i), the Maturity Date with respect to the Non-Electing Lenders shall not be extended. If the Cdn. Borrower notifies the Agent that it does not accept such conditions or amendments or fails to notify the Agent within the time provided above for acceptance, the Maturity Date will not be extended as herein provided and will continue until the Maturity Date with each Lenders’ Commitment remaining available for Drawdown until the Maturity Date; provided that the Cdn. Borrower may again make a Request for Extension during the next Request Period.

Each such determination by the Agent shall be prima facie evidence of such Rateable share.
(f) Independent Decision : The Cdn. Borrower understands that consideration of any Request for Extension constitutes an independent credit decision which each Lender retains the absolute and unfettered discretion to make, and that no commitment in this regard is given by any such Lender.
(g) Default or Event of Default : Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to accept any offer made by the Agent on behalf of the Electing Lenders to extend the Maturity Date if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless

such Default or Event of Default is waived by all of the Electing Lenders; provided any such waiver shall be effective only for the purposes of this Section 3.3 and shall not be applicable to Non-Electing Lenders.

(h) Request Refused : If there are one or more Non-Electing Lenders, each of the Electing Lenders shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase the Commitment of a NonElecting Lender for a purchase price in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount owing to each such Non-Electing Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount. Each of the Electing Lenders wishing to exercise its rights to purchase the Commitment of a Non-Electing Lender (each, a “ Purchasing Lender ”) shall forthwith so notify the Cdn. Borrower, the Agent, the NonElecting Lender and each of the other Lenders, if any, and each such Purchasing Lender shall thereupon be obligated to purchase, and the Non-Electing Lender shall be obligated to sell, within 20 days of such notice, that portion of such Commitment of each Non-Electing Lender which is in the ratio that: (i) its proportion of the Syndicated Facility Commitment of each Purchasing Lender bears to the aggregate of the Syndicated Facility Commitments of all Purchasing Lenders or as otherwise agreed to by the Cdn. Borrower and the Purchasing Lenders; and (ii) its proportion of the Term Facility Commitments of each Purchasing Lender bears to the aggregate of the Term Facility Commitments of all Purchasing Lenders or as otherwise agreed to by the Cdn. Borrower and the Purchasing Lenders, provided that only one Lender may purchase the Cdn. Operating Facility Commitment if the Cdn. Operating Lender is a Non-Electing Lender and any such decision shall be made by the Cdn. Borrower, and provided further that only one Lender may purchase the U.S. Operating Facility Commitment if the U.S. Operating Lender is a NonElecting Lender and any such decision shall be made by the Cdn. Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless otherwise agreed at that time, the Non-Electing Lender shall not be obligated to sell to any Purchasing Lender unless:

The Non-Electing Lenders, the Purchasing Lenders, the Agent, the Borrowers and each of the other Lenders, if any, shall forthwith duly execute and deliver any necessary documentation to give effect to any purchase under this Section 3.3(h). Notwithstanding any such purchase, the Non-Electing Lender shall be entitled to retain a pari passu sharing of the Security for any Permitted Swap then outstanding with it.

(i) Replacement or Repayment : If a Non-Electing Lender’s Commitment is not purchased pursuant to Section 3.3(h), the Cdn. Borrower may:
(i) arrange for a replacement lender (a “ Replacement Lender ”) (which may be one of the Electing Lenders) to purchase the Non-Electing Lender’s Commitment on the same basis and subject to the same requirements and indemnities as specified in Section 3.3(h). Any such Replacement Lender which is not an Electing Lender

(ii) as long as there exists no Event of Default, repay all Borrowings and other amounts owing under the Loan Documents to, and terminate the Commitment of, the NonElecting Lender on or prior to such Non-Electing Lender’s Maturity Date and, upon such payment, each such Non-Electing Lender shall cease to be a Syndicated Lender hereunder and, if applicable, a Term Facility Lender hereunder and, if applicable, an Operating Lender, and such Non-Electing Lender’s Syndicated Facility Commitment and, if applicable, Term Facility Commitments and, if applicable, its Operating Facility Commitment, shall be terminated and the Total Commitment reduced accordingly.
(j) Adjustment of Fees : If, on the Maturity Date of any Lender, any Borrowings are outstanding to such Lender by way of Letters of Credit, then such Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees in respect of such outstanding Letters of Credit calculated based upon Letter of Credit Fees for the period from the Maturity Date to the expiry date of the Letter of Credit. After such Maturity Date, the Agent shall calculate the adjusted fees payable by the Borrowers to such Lender in respect of such Borrowings and such fees shall be payable not later than 10 days after receipt by the Cdn. Borrower of written notice from the Agent as to such amounts. The notice of the Agent setting forth the additional amounts payable shall be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error.
(k) Differing Maturity Dates . If, at any time, there are Lenders with different Maturity Dates, all Lenders will share in Accommodations made under the Facilities based on their Applicable Percentage except to the extent the particular Accommodation requested has a maturity date after the Maturity Date of a Lender, in which case, only those Lenders with a Maturity Date later than the maturity date of the requested Accommodation will be required to participate in providing such Accommodation and the Borrowers may request a similar Accommodation, to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder, from the other Lenders with a maturity date occurring on or before the Maturity Date of such Lenders.

No Fronted Letter

LEGAL*62435425.10

67 -

of Credit shall be issued by any Fronting Lender, whether on original issue, or by renewal or extension (automatic or otherwise) where a Lender has liability in respect thereof:

(i) that expires after the Maturity Date of such Lender; or
(ii) if after giving effect thereto the amount of the LC Obligations under Fronted Letters of Credit issued by a Fronting Lender exceeds the Fronted LC Commitment of such Fronting Lender.

Each Fronted Letter of Credit shall be substantially in the form of the applicable Fronting Lender’s standard form with modifications thereto consistent with the applicable provisions of this Agreement which such Fronting Lender shall determine in good faith and on a commercially reasonable basis does not materially increase the obligations, or diminish the rights, of any Syndicated Lender.

(b) Conditions Precedent : No Fronting Lender shall be required to issue any Fronted Letter of Credit if on the Issue Date for such Fronted Letter of Credit the Agent determines that any of the following conditions has not been satisfied:
(i) the Agent, on behalf of the Fronting Lender, shall have received a Borrowing Notice requesting that a Fronted Letter of Credit be issued, such Borrowing Notice to be accompanied by an originally executed LC Application satisfactory to the applicable Fronting Lender, specifying:
- (A) the proposed Issue Date (which shall be a Business Day at least five Business Days following the date of such request);
- (B) the purpose for which such Fronted Letter of Credit is to be used, and, if the Agent, acting reasonably, determines that the requested Fronted Letter of Credit will constitute a Financial LC, the Cdn. Borrower have agreed with such characterization, failing which such Fronted Letter of Credit shall not be issued;
- (C) the expiry date which shall not be more than one year from the Issue Date and which shall not extend beyond the latest Maturity Date of any Lender obligated in respect of such Fronted Letter of Credit;
- (D) the name and address of the beneficiary;
- (E) the face amount and currency of such Fronted Letter of Credit; and
- (F) the terms and conditions of the requested Fronted Letter of Credit and other relevant details (provided that no Fronted Letter of Credit that provides for the automatic extension thereof unless notice is given to the beneficiary thereof shall be issued which requires that notice of the nonextension of the expiry date thereof be given more than 90 days prior to the scheduled expiry thereof, unless otherwise agreed by the Fronting Lender); and
(ii) the Fronting Lender, through the Agent, shall have received such other customary administrative documents as the Fronting Lender, through the Agent, shall have reasonably requested as a condition to the issuance of such Fronted Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict between the terms of such other documents and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail and

LEGAL*62435425.10

68 -

further provided that the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of Fronted Letters of Credit shall be determined solely by reference to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Notice to Lenders : Promptly upon its receipt of an LC Application for a Fronted Letter of Credit, the Agent shall notify each Lender and the applicable Fronting Lender thereof, which notice shall also specify each Lender’s share of the amount of such Fronted Letter of Credit based upon such Applicable Percentage. If a Fronting Lender determines not to issue such Fronted Letter of Credit by reason of the failure to satisfy the conditions specified in Section 3.8(b), the Fronting Lender (if not the Agent) shall give prompt notice thereof to the Agent and in turn the Agent shall provide notice thereof to the Cdn. Borrower and each Lender.
(d) Fronted Letters of Credit : Each Fronting Lender will exercise and give the same care and attention to each Fronted Letter of Credit issued by it hereunder as it gives to its other letters of credit and similar obligations, and such Fronting Lender’s sole liability to each Lender shall be to promptly return to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any payments made to such Fronting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder, excluding the Fronting Fee. Each Lender agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Fronted Letter of Credit, the applicable Fronting Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than as expressly required by such Fronted Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any Person delivering any such document. Neither any Fronting Lender nor any of its representatives, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for:
(i) any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders;
(ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Fronted Letter of Credit in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or
(iii) the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, or enforceability of any Fronted Letter of Credit or any other document contemplated thereby.

No Fronting Lender shall incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by or on behalf of the proper Person.

(e) Auto-Renewal of Letters of Credit : A Fronted Letter of Credit may, if a Borrower so requests, contain an automatic extension of the expiry date thereof pursuant to which the expiration date is automatically extended or renewed for a period of up to one year unless the Fronting Lender notifies the beneficiary thereof that it shall not be extended or renewed within a certain period of time (not to exceed 90 days prior to the then current expiry date) (such lead date being herein called the “ Renewal Notification Date ”). For each such Fronted Letter of Credit the Cdn. Borrower shall notify the Agent and the Fronting Lender, at least 10 Business Days prior to the Renewal Notification Date, if a Borrower wishes such Fronted Letter of Credit to expire in accordance with its current expiry date, and not automatically renew, in which event the Fronting Lender shall so notify the beneficiary. If the Borrowers fail to provide such notification to the Agent and Fronting Lender, the Fronting Lender shall (subject to the next sentence) permit the Fronted Letter of Credit to automatically renew or extend in accordance with its terms. Nothing in this Section 3.8(e) shall permit the Borrowers to have outstanding any Fronted Letter of Credit where any Lender has liability in respect thereof that expires after the Maturity Date of such Lender.
(f) Records : The Agent and the applicable Fronting Lender shall maintain records showing the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Fronted Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder

LEGAL*62435425.10

69 -

and each Lender’s share of such amount and showing for each Fronted Letter of Credit issued hereunder:

(i) the Issue Date and expiration date thereof;
(ii) the amount thereof; and
(iii) the date and amount of all payments made thereunder.

With respect to any Fronted Letter of Credit issued hereunder, the Agent and the applicable Fronting Lender shall make copies of such records available to the Cdn. Borrower or any Lender party to that Fronted Letter of Credit upon its request.

3.9 Fronted Letter of Credit Payments

(a) LC Drawdown : The Borrowers and each Lender hereby authorize each Fronting Lender to review on behalf of each Lender each draft and other document presented under each Fronted Letter of Credit. The determination of a Fronting Lender as to the conformity of any documents presented under a Fronted Letter of Credit to the requirements of such Fronted Letter of Credit shall, in the absence of such Fronting Lender’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and each Lender. Each Fronting Lender shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Fronted Letter of Credit. Such Fronting Lender shall promptly after such examination:
(i) notify the Agent and the Cdn. Borrower by email of such demand for payment;
(ii) deliver to the Agent a copy of each document purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Fronted Letter of Credit; and

(i) the applicable Fronting Lender shall promptly notify the Agent who shall promptly notify the Cdn. Borrower of such payment and of the amount thereof;
(ii) each LC Disbursement shall constitute the making of a Prime Loan in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Base Rate Loan in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit in U.S. Dollars, as applicable, to the applicable Borrower by the applicable Fronting Lender on the Participation Date (without limiting each Lender’s obligations hereunder to such Fronting Lender in respect of any such Loan and notwithstanding the otherwise pro-rata nature of Accommodations hereunder), even if any condition precedent to the making of such a Loan shall not have been satisfied;
(iii) the Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by email of such disbursement and the amount payable by such Lender to the Agent for the account of such Fronting Lender based on the applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage; and
(iv) immediately upon receipt of such notice, each applicable Lender shall make its Applicable Percentage of such Loan in Cdn. Dollars or U.S. Dollars, as applicable,

LEGAL*62435425.10

available to the Agent for the account of such Fronting Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent’s Branch of Account for the account of such Fronting Lender.

(c) Lenders’ Participation : Each Fronting Lender irrevocably grants, and, in order to induce each Fronting Lender to issue its Fronted Letters of Credit hereunder, each Lender irrevocably accepts and hereby purchases from such Fronting Lender on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for its own account and risk, an undivided interest (equal to each Lender’s Applicable Percentage) in such Fronting Lender’s obligations and rights under each Fronted Letter of Credit issued by it and the amount of each draft paid by such Fronting Lender thereunder and the deemed Prime Loan or U.S. Base Rate Loan made hereunder to the applicable Borrower on the Participation Date. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with such Fronting Lender that, on or before the close of business on each Participation Date, such Lender will pay to the Agent for the account of such Fronting Lender at the Agent’s Branch of Account its Applicable Percentage of any Prime Loan or U.S. Base Rate Loan deemed to be made to the applicable Borrower by such Fronting Lender on the Participation Date. If any Lender fails to make any such payment on the Participation Date, then interest shall accrue and be payable by such Lender on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment during the period from such Business Day to the day such Lender makes such payment at the Default Rate.
(d) Absolute Obligation : Each Lender acknowledges that its obligations to each Fronting Lender in respect of any Fronted Letter of Credit issued by it, including the obligation to purchase and fund a participation in the obligations and rights of a Fronting Lender under each Fronted Letter of Credit and any drafts paid by it and the deemed Prime Loan or U.S. Base Rate Loan made hereunder by such Fronting Lender on the Participation Date, are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including:
(i) the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default;
(ii) any failure or inability of any other Lender to purchase or fund such a participation hereunder; or
(iii) any other failure by any other Lender to fulfil its obligations hereunder.

Each payment by a Lender to a Fronting Lender shall be made, without any offset, compensation, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

3.10 Obligations Absolute re Letters of Credit

(a) Absolute Obligation : The obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Person may have or have had against the Agent, any Lender, any Fronting Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit.

(ix) any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 3.10(b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Borrower hereunder or in respect of any Letter of Credit;

save and except only for payment under a Letter of Credit other than in compliance with the terms thereof in all material respects or other than as a result of the Agent’s or, if applicable, the applicable Fronting Lender’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(c) Notice Delays : None of the Agent or any Fronting Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except, as to any such Person, for errors or omissions caused by such Person’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
(d) Uniform Customs : The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ Uniform Customs ”) shall in all respects apply to each Letter of Credit unless expressly provided to the contrary therein and shall be deemed for such purpose to be a part of this Agreement as if fully incorporated herein.

LEGAL*62435425.10

73 -
(i) the application for or issuance of or drawing under any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that such Lender acts in good faith; or

then the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent an amount, in the currency in which the Letter of Credit is denominated, equal to the maximum amount available to be drawn under any unexpired Letter of Credit in respect of all of the Lenders in the case of paragraphs (a) and (c) and in respect of each Lender whose Borrowings are required to be repaid in accordance with Article 4 in the case of paragraph (b). Any such amounts paid by the Borrowers to the Agent shall be held by the Agent in a Cash Collateral Account as continuing collateral security for the obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Lenders for LC Disbursements made in respect of any such Letter of Credit. Such Cash Collateral Accounts shall be assigned to the Agent as security for the obligations of the Borrowers in relation to such Letters of Credit and the Security Interest of the Agent thereby created in such cash collateral shall rank in priority to all other Security Interests and adverse claims against such cash collateral. Such cash collateral shall be applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrowers for such Letters of Credit as LC Disbursements are made thereunder. Amounts held in such Cash Collateral Accounts may not be withdrawn by the Borrowers; however, interest on such deposited amounts (at the rates and in accordance with the then prevailing practices of the Agent for accounts of such type) shall be for the account of the Borrowers and may be withdrawn by the Borrowers from time to time so long as no Event of Default is then continuing.

The Agent shall release to the applicable Borrower any amount remaining in the Cash Collateral Accounts after applying the amounts necessary to discharge all LC Obligations of the Borrowers relating to such Letters of Credit, upon the later of:

(ii) the earlier of:
(A) the date on which either the original counterpart of such Letter of Credit is returned to the Fronting Lender for cancellation or the Fronting Lender is released by the beneficiary thereof from any other obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit; and
(B) the expiry of such Letter of Credit; and
(iii) if an Event of Default has occurred, the payment and satisfaction of all indebtedness and liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder and cancellation or termination of the Facilities.

The Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and each Syndicated Lender and Term Facility Lender to determine, in its sole and unfettered discretion, the amount of Syndicated Borrowings and Term Borrowings and each basis of Syndicated Borrowing and Term Borrowing to be made available by each Syndicated Lender and Term Facility Lender and the application of repayments and reductions of Syndicated Borrowings and Term Borrowings to give effect to the provisions of this Section 3.15(a) and Section 7.2; provided that, no Syndicated Lender or Term Facility Lender shall, as a result of any such determination, have Syndicated Borrowings or Term Borrowings outstanding in an amount which is in excess of the amount of its Syndicated Facility Commitment or Term Facility Commitments.
(b) Further Assurances by Borrowers : To the extent reasonably possible, the Borrowers and each Lender agree to be bound by and to do all things necessary or appropriate to give effect to the provisions of this Section 3.15.

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall not be obliged to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent any Loss has been incurred by reason of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Each Borrower acknowledges on behalf of itself and each Loan Party that each Lender is entering into the provisions of this Section 9.6 on its own behalf and as agent and trustee for its directors, officers, employees and agents.

LEGAL*62435425.10

106 -
(b) If any claim (in this Section 9.6 referred to as a “ Claim ”) shall be asserted by any Person against the Indemnified Party which may give rise to a Loss, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Cdn. Borrower of all particulars of such Claim upon learning of same. The failure to give any such notice, however, shall not affect any Loan Party’s liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party unless such failure adversely and materially affects the Borrowers’ ability to defend, object to, oppose or contest that Claim.
(c) Each Loan Party shall at all times have the right, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall not be required, at its sole expense, to resist, defend and compromise any Claim in the name of the Indemnified Party, by legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party who will cooperate in such defence on a reasonable basis; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defence or compromise of any Claim by other legal counsel of its choosing if the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, determines it should so participate; provided that subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 9.6(a) the fees and disbursements of such other counsel shall be paid by the Borrowers. The Indemnified Party shall not effect any settlement or compromise of any Claim without the prior written consent of the Cdn. Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrowers on their own behalf must defend or must cause the applicable Loan Party to defend such claim, diligently and reasonably throughout the period while such Claim exists. If any Loan Party exercises its rights under this Section 9.6, the Borrowers shall cause such Loan Party not to compromise or otherwise settle a Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party suffering such Claim, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The inability of the Loan Parties to pay such Claim in full shall constitute a sufficient reason to withhold such consent.
(d) The Loan Parties shall not, in connection with any Loss in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate legal firm for the Indemnified Parties unless such representation by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests or the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Cdn. Borrower in writing and such firm or firms shall be designated in writing by the Agent on behalf of each Indemnified Party.

9.7 Environmental Audit

Borrower), arrange for an environmental audit of the Loan Party to be conducted by an independent environmental engineer or other environmental consultant, at the expense of the Borrowers.

10.2 Acceleration

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which has not been remedied or waived, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and with the approval of the Required Lenders shall be entitled to, without limiting or restricting other remedies or rights under contract, at law or in equity, as the Agent and the Required Lenders may in their sole and unfettered discretion determine:

(a) Terminate Commitment : cease to make or continue any Borrowings hereunder, notwithstanding any prior receipt by the Agent of a Borrowing Notice, Conversion Notice or a Rollover Notice or any other event and the Agent may, by written notice to the Cdn. Borrower, declare the Total Commitment and the right of the Borrowers to apply for further Accommodations to be terminated; and
(b) Acceleration Notice : by written notice to the Cdn. Borrower (an “ Acceleration Notice ”), declare all Borrowings (including the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) and all other Obligations to be immediately due and payable (or to be due and payable at such later time as may be stated in such notice) without further demand, presentation, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Cdn. Borrower;

provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(g) or 10.1(h) the Commitment shall automatically terminate and all Borrowings (including the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) and all other Obligations (other than any Swap Indebtedness) shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without any requirement that notice be given to the Borrowers. Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(g) or 10.1(h) or at the time stated in an Acceleration Notice, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Creditcard Lenders all amounts owing or payable in respect of all Borrowings (including the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) and other Obligations, failing which all rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall thereupon become enforceable.

(b) Termination Event : If a Termination Event has occurred and all the Lender Outstandings are not thereafter due and payable, each Lender (other than a Swap Lender) shall, within three Business Days, deliver such Demands for Repayment as may be necessary to ensure that all Lender Outstandings (other than Permitted Swap Indebtedness) are thereafter due and payable.
(c) Swap Demand : If a Termination Event has occurred and any Swap Lender proposes to deliver a Swap Demand for Repayment, such Lender shall notify the Agent of its determination, and the Agent, within a further five Business Days after receipt of the

LEGAL*62435425.10

110 -

aforesaid notice, shall notify all Swap Lenders whether the Agent, on behalf of the Required Lenders, proposes to deliver an Acceleration Notice hereunder. If the Agent does not so advise the Swap Lenders within such five Business Day period it shall be deemed to have advised that the Required Lenders do not propose to deliver an Acceleration Notice. If the Agent does notify the Swap Lenders that the Required Lenders propose to deliver an Acceleration Notice, all Demands for Repayment shall be delivered concurrently by the Agent and the Swap Lenders. If the Agent does notify the Swap Lenders that the Required Lenders do not propose, or the Agent is deemed to have advised that the Required Lenders do not propose, to deliver an Acceleration Notice, the Swap Lender which delivered the notice to the Agent may at any time within 30 Business Days thereafter deliver the Swap Demand for Repayment. If the Swap Lender delivering any such Demand for Repayment does not receive the amount so demanded on or prior to the time stated in such Swap Demand for Repayment, such Swap Lender shall so notify the Agent and the Agent and each other Lender and Swap Lender shall forthwith concurrently deliver such Demands for Repayment as may be necessary to ensure that all Lender Outstandings are thereafter due and payable.

(e) Lender Affiliates : If a Lender Swap is entered into with an Affiliate of a Lender, that Lender shall cause such Affiliate to deliver all Swap Demands for Repayment as required by this Section 10.3 and such obligations shall survive such Lender (at any time after any such Lender Swap was entered into) ceasing to be a Lender hereunder.

10.4 Remedies on Default

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a) Required Lenders Instructions : if the Required Lenders provide directions or instructions to the Agent, the Agent, on behalf of all Lenders and Swap Lenders, shall take such actions and commence such proceedings as the Required Lenders in their sole discretion may determine and may enforce or otherwise realize upon any Security, all without any obligation to marshal any Security Interests and without additional notice, presentation, demand or protest, all of which the Borrowers hereby expressly waives (to the extent such rights may be waived under Applicable Laws). The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by law. If, from time to time, there are no Lenders other than Swap Lenders, the Required Lenders for the purposes of this Agreement shall be calculated by revising the definition of Required Lenders to change the reference to “Borrowings” to “Lender Outstandings”; and
(b) General Remedies : the rights and remedies of the Agent and each Lender and Swap Lender under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by law. The Agent may, on behalf of all Lenders and Swap Lenders, and shall, if so required by the Required Lenders, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, bring suit at law, in equity or otherwise for any available relief or purpose including but not limited to:

(ii) Injunction : enjoining a violation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents;

10.5 Right of Set-Off

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, 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 other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.2 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 and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Lender Outstandings owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 10.5 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Cdn. Borrower and the Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of any Swap, the Lenders and Swap Lenders shall not effect or purport to effect any set-off of Swap Indebtedness that is not Permitted Swap Indebtedness against or on account of any Lender Outstandings owed to it.

10.6 Application and Sharing of Payments Following Acceleration

Except as otherwise agreed to by all the Lenders in their sole discretion, all monies and property received by the Lenders (in their capacity as Lenders and, if applicable, Swap Lenders or Creditcard Lenders) for application in respect of the Lender Outstandings or any other Swap Indebtedness subsequent to the delivery of an Acceleration Notice or the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 10.1(g) or 10.1(h) (including all monies received as a result of a realization upon the Security or the exercise of a right of set-off), shall be applied and distributed to the Lenders (in their capacity as Lenders and, if applicable, Swap Lenders and Creditcard Lenders) in the manner set forth below, each such application to be made in the following order with any balance remaining after application in respect of each category to be applied to the next succeeding category:

(a) firstly, in or towards payment of any fees or expenses then due and payable to the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
(b) secondly, pro rata among the Syndicated Lenders, the Operating Lenders and the Term Facility Lenders in respect of amounts due and payable to such Lenders as and by way of recoverable expenses hereunder or under any of the Security;

(d) fourthly, pro rata among the Syndicated Lenders, the Operating Lenders and the Term Facility Lenders in respect of any other amount (other than Lender Outstandings) not hereinbefore referred to in this Section 10.6 which are then due and payable to any of them by the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
(e) fifthly, pro rata among the Syndicated Lenders, the Operating Lenders, the Term Facility Lenders, the Creditcard Lenders and the Swap Lenders in or towards repayment of the Lender Outstandings;
(f) sixthly, pro rata in or towards repayment to the Swap Lenders of all Swap Indebtedness in excess of the Permitted Swap Indebtedness; and
(g) seventhly, towards repayment to the HASCAP Lender of the HASCAP Obligations.

To the extent that a Lender Swap is entered into by an Affiliate of a Lender, that Lender shall cause such Affiliate to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.6 and such obligation shall survive such Lender (at any time after any such Lender Swap was entered into) ceasing to be a Lender hereunder.

10.7 Adjustments

In the event that:

(a) Contingent Liabilities : at the Adjustment Time, a portion of the Borrowings is outstanding as Letters of Credit and it is subsequently determined that the Fronting Lender is not required to make payment under any one or more such instruments; or
(b) Notice Periods : any of the Lenders are required by Applicable Laws to continue to make advances or other amounts available to the Borrowers subsequent to the Adjustment Time by reason of a requirement in Applicable Laws to give the Borrowers a reasonable period of notice prior to terminating such Lender’s obligation to make such advances or other amounts available;

then, whenever and so often as that occurs:

(c) Sharing Adjustment : the terms “Rateable” and “Rateably” shall, ipso facto , as at the Adjustment Time be redetermined by excluding from the determination of the amount of Lender Outstandings any payments not required to be made as a result of the occurrence of an event described in Section 10.7(a) and by including in the determination of the amount of Lender Outstandings any amount required to be made available pursuant to Section 10.7(b); and
(d) Lender Outstandings : Lender Outstandings shall be redetermined by excluding from the determination of the amount of Lender Outstandings any payments not required to be made as a result of the occurrence of an event described in Section 10.7(a) and by including in the determination of Lender Outstandings any amount required to be made available pursuant to Section 10.7(b);

and the Lenders shall thereupon make all such payments and adjustments as may be necessary to ensure amounts outstanding to the Lenders are thereafter outstanding in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.18.

LEGAL*62435425.10

113 -

10.8 Calculations as at the Adjustment Time

For the purposes of this Agreement, if:

(a) Swap Demand : a Termination Event has occurred and a Swap Demand for Repayment has been delivered; or
(b) Termination Event : a Termination Event has occurred under any Swap Credit Document;

then, for the purposes of calculations to be made at the Adjustment Time, any Termination Amount which is payable by any Loan Party under such Swap in settlement of obligations arising thereunder as a result of the early termination of the Swap shall be deemed to have become payable at the time of delivery of such Swap Demand for Repayment or the time of occurrence of such Termination Event as the case may be, notwithstanding that the amount payable by any Loan Party is to be subsequently calculated and notice thereof given to such Loan Party in accordance with such Swap. For the purposes of the foregoing, the Agent shall make all determinations of the applicable Termination Amounts in accordance with its usual practices, acting reasonably, and for such purposes each Lender shall provide details to the Agent of its own calculations of the applicable Termination Amounts.

10.9 Agent May Perform Covenants

If any Loan Party shall fail to perform any of its obligations under any covenant contained in any of the Loan Documents within the time permitted for the performance of any such covenant or for the cure of any default thereof, the Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the approval of the Required Lenders and with prior notification to the Cdn. Borrower, perform any such covenant capable of being performed by it and, if any such covenant requires the payment or expenditure of money, it may make such payment or expenditure with its own funds on behalf of the Lenders. If the Agent elects to effect such observance or performance, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any failure or deficiency in effecting such observance or performance, nor for the payment of any bills, invoices or accounts incurred or rendered in connection therewith, except to the extent the Agent or such Lender is grossly negligent or acts with wilful misconduct. All amounts so paid by any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall be repaid by the Borrowers on demand therefor, and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 5.8 from and including the date paid by the Agent hereunder to but excluding the date such amounts are repaid in full by the Borrowers and shall be secured by the Security.

10.10 Waiver of Default

Any single or partial exercise by any Lender or Swap Lender, the Agent or by the Agent on behalf of any Lender or Swap Lender of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of or to alter, affect or prejudice any other right or remedy to which the Agent or such Lender or Swap Lender may be lawfully entitled for the same default or breach, and any waiver by any Lender or Swap Lender, the Agent or by the Agent on behalf of any Lender or Swap Lender of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Loan Documents, and any indulgence granted thereby, shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any subsequent default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Borrowers hereby waive any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which are inconsistent with the Agent’s or a Lender’s or Swap Lender’s rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

10.11 Adjustments of Borrowings and Sharing Repayments

LEGAL*62435425.10

114 -

participation in the Borrowings owing to each of the other Lenders under the Syndicated Facility, the Operating Facilities and Term Facilities and make any other adjustments as are necessary or appropriate, in order that the Borrowings owing to each of the Lenders under the Syndicated Facility, the Operating Facilities or Term Facilities, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 10.11, will be in the same proportion as each Lender’s individual aggregate Commitments under the Syndicated Facility, the Operating Facilities and the Term Facilities were to the overall aggregate Commitments of all Lenders under the Syndicated Facility, the Operating Facilities and the Term Facilities immediately prior to the Event of Default resulting in such declaration and (b) the amount of any repayment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries under the Loan Documents or any proceeds received by the Agent or the Lenders in connection therewith will be applied by the Agent in a manner such that to the extent possible the amount of the principal amount of outstanding Obligations owing to each Lender under the Syndicated Facility, the Operating Facilities and the Term Facilities after giving effect to such application will be in the same proportion as each Lender’s individual aggregate Commitments under the Syndicated Facility, the Operating Facilities and the Term Facilities were to the overall aggregate Commitments of all Lenders under the Syndicated Facility, the Operating Facilities and the Term Facilities immediately prior to the Event of Default resulting in such declaration.

ARTICLE 11 EXPENSES AND INDEMNITIES

11.1 Increased Cost

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, capital adequacy or additional capital requirement, or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;
(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or any Accommodation 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 11.2 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Accommodation made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Accommodation or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Accommodation, 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 Borrowers will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (the “ Additional Compensation ”).

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines acting reasonably and in good faith 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 requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital 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 such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers

LEGAL*62435425.10

115 -

will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. The Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any amounts under this Section 11.1(b) for any period prior to the date which is six (6) months prior to the date on which the applicable Lender give notice to the Borrowers that such amount is so accruing. A certificate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender prepared in good faith setting forth the amount of the Additional Compensation pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) and the basis for it must be submitted by the Lender to the Borrowers and is conclusive evidence, in the absence of manifest error, of the amount of such Additional Compensation.

(c) 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 11.1 and delivered to the Cdn. Borrower (and accompanied by a photocopy of the relevant law, rule, guideline, regulation, treaty or official directive), shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 11.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Cdn. Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

11.2 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document (excluding Swap Credit Documents) shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes, provided that if any Borrower shall be required by Applicable Laws thereof to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 11.2(a)) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws.
(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (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, as the case may be, 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 Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Cdn. Borrower 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.

LEGAL*62435425.10

116 -
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Cdn. Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Cdn. Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Cdn. Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Laws 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 Cdn. Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Cdn. Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
(f) FATCA. If a payment made by a Borrower to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to US federal withholding Tax imposed under 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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Cdn. Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Cdn. Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Laws and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Cdn. Borrower and the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers or the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f), “ FATCA ” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Cdn. Borrower and the Agent of its legal inability to do so.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 11.2, it shall pay to the applicable Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 11.2 with respect to the 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 interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the applicable Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender or to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 11.1 or requires a Borrower to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any

LEGAL*62435425.10

117 -

Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 11.2, or if any Lender’s obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 11.3, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Cdn. Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking Borrowings hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2, 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 costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders.

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 11.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 11.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws; and
(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Electing Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

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.

(a) If the introduction of or any change in Applicable Laws, regulation, treaty, official directive or regulatory requirement now or hereafter in effect (whether or not having the force of law) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful or prohibited for

(ii) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a Conversion thereto or a Rollover thereof that Term SOFR for any requested SOFR Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such SOFR Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent,

(ii) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term CORRA Loan or Daily Compounded CORRA Loan, as applicable, or a Conversion thereto or a Rollover thereof that Term CORRA or Daily Compounded CORRA, as applicable, for any requested CORRA Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term CORRA Loan or Daily Compounded CORRA Loan, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such CORRA Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent,

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Swap Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

13.2 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, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

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

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) 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 Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that 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 Laws, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii) 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 Borrowers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b) 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 Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Cdn. Borrower or a Lender.
(c) 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 set forth in Article 8 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

13.4 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 website 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. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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.

13.5 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.

13.6 Resignation of Agent

(a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Cdn. Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Cdn. Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “ Resignation Effective Date ”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b) If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, by notice in writing to the Cdn. Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Cdn. Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “ Removal Effective Date ”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed 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 or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) 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, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of 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 retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. 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 Cdn. Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 15.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.

the same Business Day on which such payment is received by the Agent. If the Agent does not remit any such payment to a Lender on the same Business Day as such payment is received by the Agent, the Agent shall pay interest thereon to such Lender until the date of payment at a rate determined by the Agent (such rate to be conclusive and binding on such Lender) in accordance with the Agent’s usual banking practice in respect of deposits of amounts comparable to the amount of such payment which are received by the Agent at a time similar to the time at which such payment is received by the Agent.

(b) Subsequent to Acceleration : Following delivery of an Acceleration Notice or the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(g) or 10.1(h), the Lenders and Swap Lenders shall share any payments subsequently received in accordance with Section 10.6.

(a) Payments by Borrowers ; Presumptions by Agent : Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Cdn. Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Syndicated Lenders or Term Facility Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Syndicated Lenders or Term Facility 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 the rate determined by the Agent (such rate to be conclusive and binding on such Lender) in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(b) Funding by Lenders ; Presumption by Agent : Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Syndicated Lender or Term Facility Lender prior to a Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date that such Lender will not make available to the Agent the amount required to be made available to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement on such Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date, 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 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers а corresponding amount. In such event, if a Syndicated Lender or Term Facility Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable advance available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to 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 Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of а payment to be made by such Lender, at the rate determined by the Agent (such rate to be conclusive and binding on such Lender) in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to the applicable Accommodation. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable advance to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Accommodation included in such advance. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Syndicated Lender or Term Facility Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 (subject to paragraph (e) of this Section 14.1) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.1(b); provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 11.3 as if it were an assignee under Section 14.1(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.5 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.18 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 11.1 and 11.2 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 Cdn. Borrower’s prior written consent. А Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.2 unless the Cdn. Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 11.2(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f) 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, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or equivalent institution; provided that 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.

Operating Lender or the U.S. Operating Lender, as applicable, on the relevant date at or about 10:00 o’clock a.m. (Calgary time), would be prepared to sell a similar amount of such currency in Calgary, Alberta against the Judgment Currency. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of payment of the amount due, the Borrowers shall, on the date of payment, pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment is the amount then due under this Agreement in such other currency. Any additional amount due from the Borrowers under this Section 14.2 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Agreement.

14.3 Swap Lender

If any Swap Lender (or its Affiliate, if such Swap Lender is not a Lender) for any reason ceases to be a Lender, such Swap Lender shall continue to be bound by and entitled to the benefit of the terms and conditions hereof in such capacity and entitled to the benefit of the Security until such time as it is no longer a party to the Swaps existing with any Loan Party at the time it (or such Affiliate, if applicable) ceases to be a Lender, with the exception of any indemnities of, or in favour of, such Swap Lender hereunder existing at that time and which shall survive such termination.

(i) to the extent such Information (х) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (у) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, provided that the Lender is not aware of any confidentiality obligations between such source and the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties.

For purposes of this Section, “ Information ” means all information received from the Cdn. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Cdn. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Cdn. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Cdn. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. 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.

14.5 Dissenting Lenders

If a Lender (in this Section 14.5 called a “ Dissenting Lender ”):

(a) withholds its consent or its approval following a request of the Cdn. Borrower as provided in this Agreement and, as a result, the consent of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, cannot be obtained in connection with such request, or
(b) makes a claim for Additional Compensation under Section 11.1; or
(c) determines that it is unable to make, fund or maintain Accommodations pursuant to Section 11.4;

(and in the case of clauses (b) or (c), no other Lender has concurrently made such claim or determination), the Borrowers may, so long as there exists no Default or Event of Default which is continuing, by giving notice to each Dissenting Lender and to the Agent within 10 Business Days of being notified by the Agent of whether the Lenders have consented to such request (in the case of clause (a) above) or have made such claim or determination (in the case of clause (b) or (c) above):

(d) designate an alternate lender or lenders (which need not be an existing Lender) to purchase an assignment in accordance with Section 14.1 of a Dissenting Lender’s Commitment and the related Lender Outstandings (which alternate lender shall purchase such assignment prior to the expiry of such 10 Business Day period), provided that no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Cdn. Borrower pursuant to this Section 14.5 unless said assignment is done on a without warranty basis; and/or
(e) repay all Lender Outstandings of a Dissenting Lender prior to the expiry of such 10 Business Day period; provided that if (in the case of clause (a) above) such Dissenting Lender(s) arises from the failure to obtain Required Lenders’ consent (as opposed to all Lenders’ consent), the Cdn. Borrower requires the prior consent of all Lenders that are not Dissenting Lenders in order to exercise this repayment right;

and in each case unless and until such Dissenting Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrowers or one or more assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the Lender Outstandings owing to such Dissenting Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of

LEGAL*62435425.10

143 -

payment of such Lender Outstandings and all other amounts payable to such Dissenting Lender under the Loan Documents (including all losses, costs and expenses suffered or incurred by the Dissenting Lender as a result of complying with this Section 14.5 and all amounts owing under Section 13.20). Any such alternate lender (other than an existing Lender) is subject to the Agent’s prior consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. For clarity, if the Borrowers exercise their rights under this Section 14.5 and there is more than one Dissenting Lender, the Borrowers must deal with all Dissenting Lenders in the same manner.

(i) Waivers and Amendments . A Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 13.19), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that (A) materially and adversely affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders, (B) increases the Commitment or extends the Maturity Date of such Defaulting Lender, or (C) relates to the matters set forth in Sections 13.19(a)(i), 13.19(a)(ii), 13.19(a)(iii), 13.19(a)(iv) (only in so far as it relates to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender), 13.19(a)(v), 13.19(a)(vi) and 13.19(a)(x), shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(E) fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
(F) sixth, 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 Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Borrowings of all Non- Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Borrowings of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Borrowings are funded. 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 pursuant to this Section 15.2(b)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) Certain Fees. The standby fees payable pursuant to Section 5.13 shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.
(d) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Cdn. Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that а Lender is no longer а 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, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Borrowings of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Borrowings to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility, 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 Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

145 -
(e) Exclusion. For greater certainty and in addition to the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender (including a Defaulting Lender) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with amounts payable by the Borrowers to a Defaulting Lender and received and deposited by the Agent in a cash collateral account and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, save and except for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f) Funding of Defaulting Lender’s Share. If the Agent has actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at the time that the Agent receives (i) a Borrowing Notice or (ii) a Conversion Notice that will result in a currency conversion, then each other Lender shall fund its Applicable Percentage of such affected Accommodation (and, in calculating such Applicable Percentage, the Agent shall ignore the Commitments of each such Defaulting Lender); provided that, for certainty, no Lender shall be obligated by this Section 15.2(f) to make or provide Accommodations in excess of its Commitment. If the Agent acquires actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at any time after the Agent received (i) a Borrowing Notice or (ii) a Conversion Notice that will result in a currency conversion, then the Agent shall promptly notify the Cdn. Borrower that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such disclosure). Each Defaulting Lender agrees to indemnify each other Lender for any amounts funded or paid by such Lender under this Section 15.2(f) and which would otherwise have been funded or paid by the Defaulting Lender if its Commitment had been included in determining the Applicable Percentage of such affected Accommodations.

LEGAL*62435425.10

The foregoing provisions apply (and the foregoing waivers shall be effective) even if the effect is to destroy or diminish the Guarantor’s subrogation rights, the Guarantor’s right to proceed against any Other Loan Party for reimbursement, the Guarantor’s right to recover contribution from any other guarantor or any other right or remedy.

Indemnity. The Guarantor shall be liable for and shall indemnify and save the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any losses which may arise by virtue of any of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto being or becoming for any reason whatsoever in whole or in part (a) void, voidable, ultra vires , illegal, invalid, ineffective or otherwise unenforceable in accordance with its terms, or (b) released or discharged by operation of law other than by reason of a release by the Agent and the Lenders (collectively an “ Indemnifiable Circumstance ”). For greater certainty, these losses shall include the amount of all obligations which would have been payable by the Other Loan Party but for the existence of an Indemnifiable Circumstance. The Guarantor shall also be liable for and shall indemnify and save the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonably legal fees and expenses on a solicitor and his own client full indemnity basis) (x) incurred by the Agent or any Lender in the preparation, registration, administration or enforcement of this Guarantee, (y) with respect to or resulting from any failure or delay by the Guarantor in performing or observing any of its obligations

LEGAL*62435425.10

G-5

under this Guarantee, and (z) incurred by the Agent or any Lender in performing or observing any of the other covenants of the Guarantor under this Guarantee.

No Waiver. No delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. No amendment to this Guarantee or waiver of any of the rights of the Agent or any Lender hereunder shall be deemed to be made by the Agent or any Lender unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of the Agent and each such waiver, if any, shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved and for the specific purpose for which given, and shall in no way impair the rights or liabilities of the Agent or the Guarantor hereunder in any other respect at any other time.
Deemed Existence. If at any time, all or any part of any payment previously applied by the Agent or any Lender to any Obligation is or must be rescinded or returned by the Agent or any Lender for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Guarantor or any Other Loan Party) such Obligation shall, for the purpose of this Guarantee, to the extent that such payment is rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Agent or any Lender, and this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligation, all as though such application by the Agent or any Lender had not been made.
Assignment and Postponement. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all present and future indebtedness and liability of the Other Loan Parties to the Guarantor is hereby assigned by the Guarantor to the Agent and postponed to the Obligations and all moneys received by the Guarantor in respect thereof will be received in trust for and will be paid over to the Agent upon demand by the Agent. If the Agent or the Lenders receive from the Guarantor a payment or payments in full or on account of the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, the Guarantor will not be entitled to claim repayment against any Other Loan Party until the Agent and the Lender’s claims against all Other Loan Parties have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full. In case of liquidation, winding-up or bankruptcy of any Other Loan Party (whether voluntary or involuntary) or any composition with creditors or scheme of arrangement, the Agent and the Lenders will have the right to rank for their full claims and receive all dividends or other payments in respect thereof in priority to the Guarantor until the claims of the Agent and the Lenders have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full and the Guarantor will continue to be liable hereunder for any balance which may be owing to the Agent or the Lenders by the Other Loan Parties. In the event of the valuation by the Agent of any of its security and/or the retention thereof by the Agent, such valuation and/or retention will not, as between the Agent and the Lenders and the Guarantor, be considered as a purchase of such security, or as payment or satisfaction of the Obligations or any part thereof. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 will not in any way limit or lessen the liability of the Guarantor under any other section of this Guarantee.
Other Securities. This Guarantee is in addition to and not in substitution for any other guarantee or any other securities by whomsoever given at any time held by the Agent or any Lender for any present or future Obligations and the Agent or any Lender shall at all times have the right to proceed against or realize upon all or any portion of any other guarantees or securities or any other money or assets to which it may become entitled or have a claim in such order and in such manner as it in its sole and unfettered discretion may deem fit.
Continuing Guarantee. This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and: (a) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until payment in full of all amounts payable under this Guarantee and termination of the Lenders’ commitments and obligations under and pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (b) shall enure to the benefit of the Agent, each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns.
Enforcement of Guarantee. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be enforceable by the Agent upon demand by the Agent for payment of the Obligations in accordance

LEGAL*62435425.10

with the terms hereof without the necessity of any action or recourse whatsoever against any Other Loan Party, any security or any other guarantor. The remedies provided in this Guarantee are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Applicable Laws, the Loan Documents or otherwise.

Subrogation. This Guarantee shall not be considered as wholly or partially satisfied by the payment or liquidation at any time or times of any sum or sums of money for the time being due or remaining unpaid to the Agent or any Lender, and all dividends, compensations, proceeds of security valued and payments received by the Agent or any Lender from any Other Loan Party, the Guarantor or from others or from any estate shall be regarded for all purposes as payments in gross without right on the part of any Guarantor to claim in reduction of the liability under this Guarantee the benefit of any such dividends, compositions, proceeds or payments or any securities held by the Agent or any Lender or proceeds thereof, and the Guarantor shall have no right to be subrogated in any rights of the Agent until the Agent shall have received full, final and indefeasible payment and performance of the Obligations and the Lenders have no further obligation to extend credit or advance monies to or for the benefit of any Other Loan Party.
Foreign Currency Obligations. The Guarantor will make payment relative to each Obligation in the currency (the “ Original Currency ”) in which the Other Loan Party is required to pay such Obligation. If the Guarantor makes payment relative to any Obligation to the Agent or a Lender in a currency other than the Original Currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or judgment of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction), such payment will constitute a discharge of the liability of the Guarantor hereunder in respect of such Obligation only to the extent of the amount of the Original Currency which the Agent or such Lender is able to purchase at Calgary, Alberta with the amount it receives on the date of receipt. If the amount of the Original Currency which the Agent or such Lender is able to purchase is less than the amount of such currency originally due to it in respect of the relevant Obligation, the Guarantor will indemnify and save the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity will constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Guarantee, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Agent or any Lender and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.
Guarantee of Payment and Performance. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection and is in addition and without prejudice to any securities of any kind now or hereafter held by the Agent or any Lender.
Costs. The Guarantor shall pay to the Agent all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all reasonable legal fees (on a solicitor and his own client basis) and other expenses incurred by the Agent and any of the Lenders from time to time in the enforcement, realization and collection of or in respect of this Guarantee, and the term “Obligations” herein shall include all such costs and expenses. All of these amounts shall be payable by the Guarantor on demand, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate per annum, calculated from the date incurred by the Agent to the date paid by the Guarantor, compounded monthly on the last day of each month, both before and after default, maturity and judgment.
Payment. All payments hereunder with respect to any Obligations shall be made to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders at the Agent’s branch in Calgary, Alberta at Suite 410, 585 – 8[th] Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 1G1 or at such other branch or agency of the Agent as the Agent shall designate from time to time by notice in writing to the Guarantor.
Payment on Stay. If: (a) any Other Loan Party is prevented from making payment of any of the Obligations when it would otherwise be required to do so; or (b) the Agent is prevented from demanding payment of the Obligations because of a stay or other judicial proceeding or any other

LEGAL*62435425.10

G-7

legal impediment, all Obligations or other amounts otherwise subject to demand, acceleration or payment shall be payable by the Guarantor as provided for hereunder.

Waiver of Notice. The Guarantor waives all notices which may be required by any statute, rule of law, contract or otherwise to preserve any rights to the Agent or any Lender against the Guarantor.
Taxes. Any and all payments by the Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present and future taxes, liens, imposts, stamp taxes, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto and any interest, additions to tax and penalties imposed with respect thereto, but excluding, with respect to the Agent or any Lender, taxes imposed on its income or capital and franchise taxes imposed on it by any taxation authority (hereinafter referred to as “ Taxes ”). If the Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Agent or any Lender:
(a) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 19) the Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; and
(b) the Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Laws.
Covenants. The Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and understands the Obligations of the Loan Parties thereunder. The Guarantor consents and agrees to be bound by any provision in the Credit Agreement which relates to the Guarantor. In addition, the Guarantor covenants and agrees that it shall perform each and every term, covenant, condition and agreement which the Borrowers have covenanted in the Credit Agreement to cause the Guarantor to perform, and the Guarantor will comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and agreement which the Borrowers have covenanted under the Credit Agreement to cause the Guarantor to comply with, when and as provided for by the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Guarantor will not do anything which would result in a breach of the Credit Agreement.

The Guarantor confirms and makes and repeats on its own behalf in favour of the Agent and the Lenders each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement to the extent such representations and warranties relate to the Guarantor or any matter in respect thereof, and shall be deemed to make, repeat and re-affirm each such representation and warranty on each date on which such representations and warranties are made or deemed to be made or re-made by the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, all to the same extent as if the Guarantor was a party to the Credit Agreement, and all as though such representations and warranties were set out at length herein.

Governing Law. This Guarantee shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
Severability. If any provision or paragraph of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or in any jurisdiction, it shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision or paragraph in any other jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Guarantee.

HASCAP Loan Additional Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions will apply to the HASCAP Loan in addition to any terms and conditions set out in the Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them by the Agreement.

Establishment of HASCAP Loan: The HASCAP Lender hereby establishes in favour of the HASCAP Borrower the HASCAP Loan which may drawn down by means of a single advance which may be requested by the HASCAP Borrower up to thirty (30) days from the HASCAP Loan Effective Date. Any amount of the HASCAP Loan which is not borrowed on or before such date will be cancelled and the HASCAP Borrower will not be entitled to borrow any amounts under the HASCAP Loan after such date. The HASCAP Loan is non-revolving. Amounts repaid may not be reborrowed.
Purpose of HASCAP Loan: The HASCAP Loan is to be used exclusively to provide additional liquidity to the HASCAP Borrower to finance the Loan Parties’ business/commercial operations (excluding, for certainty and without limitation, to fund distributions, payment of management fees, bonuses and similar instruments) for a period of time not exceeding 18 months following the HASCAP Loan Effective Date; for certainty, the application of the proceeds from the HASCAP Loan to (x) repay Cdn. Operating Borrowings and U.S. Operating Borrowings will be permitted so long as the Operating Facility Commitments are not reduced (other than to the extent of temporary advances, or Cdn. Operating Borrowings or U.S. Operating Borrowings in excess of the Borrowing Base); (y) repay normally scheduled principal (which schedule of repayments has not been accelerated since March 1, 2020) and interest payments on the Operating Facilities; as well as (z) pay ordinary course of business lease, equipment or supplier financing payments; for further certainty, the proceeds from the HASCAP Loan will not be used (A) to make scheduled principal or interest payments that were due prior to the date hereof; (B) for repayment of outstanding Borrowings on the maturity date thereof; or (C) to fund cash sweep payments under outstanding Borrowings and similar types of payments.
Availment and Interest Rates: The HASCAP Loan is available by way of a fixed rate loan. The interest rate applicable to the HASCAP Loan is [Rate redacted] per annum.
Repayment: The HASCAP Loan is payable in full on demand by the HASCAP Lender, and the HASCAP Lender may terminate the availability thereof (including any undrawn portion) at any time without notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until demand, the HASCAP Borrower shall make interest only payments on the HASCAP Loan monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month commencing in the month in which the HASCAP Loan is advanced up to and including the last Business Day of the month in which the anniversary of the advance of the HASCAP Loan occurs. Commencing on the last Business Day of the next succeeding month and on the last Business Day of each month thereafter, the HASCAP Borrower shall make monthly principal payments on the outstanding amount of the HASCAP Loan based on a 108 month amortization period plus accrued interest thereon, with the balance of all amounts owing under the HASCAP Loan being due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
Prepayment: The HASCAP Loan may be prepaid at anytime upon payment of the Prepayment Amount. For the purposes hereof, “Prepayment Amount” (which the HASCAP Lender and the HASCAP Borrower agree is a genuine pre-estimate of damages and not a penalty) means, in connection with any acceleration or prepayment of the HASCAP Loan prior to the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the

LEGAL*62435425.10

M-2

greater of three (3) months’ interest calculated on the amount accelerated or prepaid, as applicable, and the Yield Maintenance Amount. For the purposes hereof, “Yield Maintenance Amount” means, at any time and with respect to any acceleration or prepayment of the HASCAP Loan prior to the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the amount by which (X) the sum of the present value of all blended monthly installments of principal and interest payable after the acceleration or prepayment date, as applicable, and until the Maturity Date and the present value of the principal balance which would have been payable on the Maturity Date, exceeds (Y) the principal amount of the HASCAP Loan being accelerated or prepaid, as applicable. These present values shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the bid-side yield listed in a Bloomberg screen at 11:00 A.M. (Calgary time) on the business day immediately preceding the date of acceleration or prepayment, as applicable, on non-callable Government of Canada bonds having a term equivalent to the remaining term of the HASCAP Loan; the “bid-side yield on noncallable Government of Canada bonds having a term equivalent to the remaining term of the HASCAP Loan” shall mean the bid-side yield to maturity, as determined by the HASCAP Lender, expressed as an annual rate of interest calculated semi-annually and not in advance, on a theoretical non-callable Government of Canada bond, payable in Canadian Dollars, obtained from the interpolation between the bid-side yield of two non-callable Government of Canada bonds, each issued the Business Day prior to the acceleration or prepayment date, as applicable, the first having a maturity closest to but prior to the Maturity Date and the second having a maturity closest to but following the Maturity Date.

Conditions Precedent: The obligation of the HASCAP Lender to make available the HASCAP Loan is subject to and conditional upon:
(a) no Default or Event of Default having occurred and being continuing;
(b) on the date of advance of the HASCAP Loan, the representations and warranties in Section 2.1, other than those stated to be made as at a specific date, are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as if made as of such date;
(c) the HASCAP Lender having received confirmation of the Unique ID # issued by BDC upon completion and submission of BDC’s electronic information form available on BDC’s website, bdc.ca/hascap-form (English) in respect of the HASCAP Loan;
(d) the HASCAP Lender and BDC have received the BDC Representation Letter, in form and content acceptable to BDC and to the HASCAP Lender, including, without restriction, its enlarged privacy / information-sharing content for each of the months for which the HASCAP Borrower has applied for and has received subsidies under the CEWS Program or the CERS Program (as such terms are defined in the BDC Representation Letter):
(i) confirmation from Canada Revenue Agency (the “ CRA Confirmation ”) evidencing the HASCAP Borrower’s application to the CEWS Program or CERS Program and showing a minimum 50% revenue decrease; and
(ii) the statements or, as the case may be, cancelled cheques or other acceptable evidence provided by the HASCAP Borrower to the HASCAP Lender evidencing the confirmation that subsidies in amounts identified in the CRA Confirmation, in amounts substantially similar to the amounts set out in the CRA Confirmation, have been received; and
(e) the HASCAP Lender shall have received such additional documents, information or agreements as it may reasonably require in connection with the HASCAP Loan.
