Section 1.17Schedules

The following Schedules are attached to and form part of this Agreement:

Article 2 – THE CREDIT FACILITY

Section 2.1Establishment of Credit Facility

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders hereby establish in favour of the Borrower a committed revolving term credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the amount of the Total Commitment. Each Lender severally agrees to make its Commitment available to the Borrower by way of the following:

(1)Prime Loans;

(2)USBR Loans;

(3)SOFR Loans;

(4)Bankers’ Acceptances; and

(5)Letters of Credit.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under the Credit Facility up to the amount of the Total Commitment.

Section 2.1Hedge Contracts

A Lender may from time to time enter into Hedge Contracts with the Borrower. No Lender makes a commitment hereunder to enter into any Hedge Contracts and may in its sole discretion decline to enter into any Hedge Contract at any time. Each Hedge Contract is governed by the terms and conditions set out in the confirmation forwarded by the applicable Lender or its Affiliate to the Borrower on entering into the Hedge Contract and any applicable ISDA Master Agreement. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions set out in the confirmation or ISDA Master Agreement and this Agreement, the confirmation or ISDA Master Agreement shall govern unless otherwise expressly provided herein.

Section 2.2Obligations of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent

(6)Rateable Portion. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees to make available its Rateable Portion of each Advance (or Rollover or Conversion thereof) to the Borrower. No Lender shall be responsible for a Commitment of any other Lender. The failure of a Lender to make available an Advance (or Rollover or Conversion thereof) in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement shall not release any other Lender from its obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Lender shall be obligated to make or participate in Advances in excess of its Commitment. For greater certainty, (i) the


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 31			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Issuing Bank shall only include its Rateable Portion of Letters of Credit when determining if it has made available Advances in excess of its Commitment, and (ii) Hedge Contracts are not subject to this Section 2.3(1).

(7)Separate Obligation. The obligation of each Lender to make its Commitment available to the Borrower is a separate obligation between each Lender and the Borrower, and that obligation is not the several or joint and several obligation of any other Lender.

Section 2.2Revolving Nature of Credit Facility

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may from time to time up to the Maturity Date increase or reduce the amount of Advances outstanding under the Credit Facility by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing Prime Loans, USBR Loans and SOFR Loans, by causing the acceptance of Bankers’ Acceptances and funding them at maturity and by causing the issue, cancellation and re-issue of Letters of Credit.

Section 2.3Availability of Credit Facility

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to Section 4.4, the US Dollar Amount of the principal amount of all Advances shall not exceed the Total Commitment at any time. In the event that the US Dollar Amount of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances exceeds the Total Commitment, the Borrower shall not be entitled to obtain any further Advances until the amount of such excess is repaid.

Section 2.4Purpose

The proceeds of the Advances made under the Credit Facility shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower, including to provide financing for capital investments in the Core Business Verticals.

Section 2.5Borrowing Procedures – General

(8)Notice of Borrowing. All Advances require written notice. To request such an Advance, the Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent written notice substantially in the form attached as Schedule 2.7(1), indicating the aggregate amount of the requested Advance at or before the time set out below opposite the type of Advance that the Borrower wishes to request:


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 32			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Each notice given in respect of an Advance by way of B/As shall indicate the amount of the B/As to be issued and the applicable Contract Period of the B/As. Each notice given in respect of an Advance by way of a Letter of Credit shall indicate the amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued, the applicable Contract Period, the beneficiary, the terms of draw under the requested Letter of Credit and all other relevant information. No Advance under the Credit Facility shall have a term or Contract Period that extends beyond the Maturity Date, except Letters of Credit with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank and which are cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. Any notice (including any deemed notice provided herein) given to the Administrative Agent may not be revoked or withdrawn. No Advance under the Credit Facility shall have a term or Contract Period that extends beyond the Maturity Date.

(9)Limits on Advances. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not request or be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent an Advance under the Credit Facility if, on the day notice of the Advance is given pursuant to Section 2.7(1) or after giving effect to the Advance, the US Dollar Amount of the principal amount of all Advances outstanding from any Lender would exceed the Commitment of the Lender, or if the aggregate US Dollar Amount of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances would exceed the Total Commitment.

(10)Administrative Agent Determination. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the Prime Rate, the US Base Rate, the CDOR Rate and SOFR shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders.

At any time, upon the written request of the Borrower, the Credit Facility may be increased by an amount not exceeding US$[DELETION] [Amount deleted for confidentiality reasons]. Participation in any requested increase will be at the sole discretion of each Lender. The Borrower may arrange for the requested increase, or part thereof, to be provided by one or more new Lenders, in each case acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, each of which new Lenders must agree to become a Lender and to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender. Any approved increase will be conditional upon (a) there being no Default or Event of Default, (b) execution and delivery of an amendment or supplement to the Credit Agreement and such other documentation, authorizations and opinions of counsel for the Borrower and Guarantors as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, (c) consent thereto by the Administrative Agent, and (d) receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Compliance Certificate.

Section 2.3SOFR Loans

(11)Term. Each SOFR Loan shall have a Contract Period of 1, 3 or 6 months (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by all Lenders), in each case, subject to availability; provided that (i) the Contract Period shall commence on the date of an advance of or a conversion to a SOFR Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Contract Periods, each successive Contract Period shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Contract Period expires; (ii) if any Contract Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Contract Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any Contract Period with respect to a SOFR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Contract Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; (iii) any Contract Period with respect to a SOFR Loan that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is not numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Contract Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the relevant calendar month at the end of such Contract Period; (iv) no Contract Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date; and (v) no tenor that has been removed from this type of Advance pursuant to Section 3.17 shall be available for specification in any such notice of Advance, Rollover or Conversion.

(12)Rollover of SOFR Loans. At or before 2:00 p.m. 3 Business Days before the expiry of the Contract Period of each SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by irrevocable telephone or email notice, followed by written notice on the same day substantially in the form attached as Schedule 2.10(2), if it intends to:

(a)enter into a new Contract Period with respect to the maturing SOFR Loan, or

(b)repay the maturing SOFR Loan.

If the Borrower fails to provide such notice to the Administrative Agent or fails to make the required payment, or if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the last day of the Contract Period, the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the maturing SOFR Loan shall be deemed to have been converted into a USBR Loan as of the last day of the Contract Period thereof in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the expiring SOFR Loans.

(13)Breakage Costs. If the Borrower repays or prepays a SOFR Loan on a day other than the SOFR Interest Payment Date falling on the last day of the Contract Period applicable to that SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable Lender for any loss or expense suffered


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 34			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

or incurred by that Lender as a result of such early repayment or prepayment, including, without limitation, any loss of profit or expenses which that Lender incurs by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lender to effect or maintain the SOFR Loan or any interest or other charges payable to lenders of funds borrowed by that Lender in order to maintain the SOFR Loan together with any other charges, costs or expenses incurred by that Lender relative thereto.

(14)Alternate Rate. If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, acting in good faith, determines, or the Majority Lenders, acting in good faith, determine and notify the Administrative Agent (which determinations shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, on a basis that is expected to be temporary:

(a)adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest on a SOFR Loan, or

(b)Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR is not available for the relevant period for any reason, or

(c)Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR does not accurately reflect the effective cost to the Lenders of making, funding or maintaining a SOFR Loan and/or the costs to the Lenders are increased or the income receivable by the Lenders is reduced in respect of a SOFR Loan, or

(a)the making, funding or maintaining of a SOFR Loan or a portion thereof by a Lender has become impracticable by reason of circumstances which materially and adversely affect the relevant interbank market,

the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower. Thereafter, (x) the right of the Borrower to request an Advance by means of a SOFR Loan shall be and remain suspended until the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, determine and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the condition causing such determination no longer exists, and (y) any notice of Drawdown or Rollover in respect of a SOFR Loan which is outstanding shall be cancelled and any outstanding notice of Conversion to convert a USBR Loan into a SOFR Loan shall be cancelled and the request for a Drawdown or Rollover by means of a SOFR Loan shall be deemed to be a request for a Drawdown of, or Rollover to, a USBR Loan in the amount of the requested SOFR Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the suspension of the Borrower’s right to request an Advance by means of SOFR Loan and of the termination of any such suspension.

Section 2.6Bankers’ Acceptances

(17)Purchase. Upon acceptance of a Bankers’ Acceptance by a Lender, such Lender shall purchase or arrange the purchase of such Bankers’ Acceptance at the applicable CDOR Rate. The Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent’s Account for Payments the Discount Proceeds less the Acceptance Fee payable by the Borrower with respect to the Bankers’ Acceptance.

To facilitate availment of the Advances by way of B/As, the Borrower hereby appoints each Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Xxxxxx, blank forms of B/As. In this respect, it is each Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. The Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Lender shall bind the Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of the Borrower. Each Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Lender; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of B/As required to be accepted and purchased by such Lender. Each Lender shall exercise and apply the same care in the custody and safekeeping of such B/As as it would for its own property of a similar negotiable type. No Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. Each Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As held by it in blank hereunder, voided by it for any reason, accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and cancelled at their respective maturities. Each Lender agrees to provide such records to the Borrower at the Borrower’s expense upon request.

(20)Execution. Drafts drawn by the Borrower to be accepted as Bankers’ Acceptances shall be signed by a duly authorized officer or officers of the Borrower or by its attorneys, including attorneys appointed pursuant to Section 2.11(5). Notwithstanding that any Person whose signature appears on any Bankers’ Acceptance may no longer be an authorized signatory for the Borrower at the time of issuance of a Bankers’ Acceptance, that signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if the authority had remained in force at the time of issuance and any Bankers’ Acceptance so signed shall be binding on the Borrower.

(21)Issuance. The Administrative Agent, promptly following receipt of a notice of Advance, Rollover or Conversion by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, shall advise the Lenders of the notice and shall advise each Lender of the face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by it and the applicable Contract Period (which shall be identical for all Lenders). The aggregate face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by a Lender shall be determined by the Administrative Agent by reference to that Xxxxxx’s Rateable Portion of the issue of Bankers’ Acceptances, except that, if the face amount of a Bankers’ Acceptance which would otherwise be accepted by a Lender would not be Cdn$[DELETION], or a whole multiple thereof, the face amount shall be increased or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to Cdn$[DELETION] [Amounts deleted for confidentiality reasons], or the nearest whole multiple of that amount, as appropriate; provided that after such issuance, no Lender shall have aggregate outstanding Advances in excess of its Commitment.

(22)Rollover. At or before 2:00 p.m. 2 Business Days before the maturity date of any Bankers’ Acceptances, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by irrevocable telephone notice, followed by written notice on the same day substantially in the form attached as Schedule 2.11(8), which notice shall specify either that the Borrower intends to repay the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances on the maturity date that the Borrower intends to issue Bankers’ Acceptances on the maturity date to provide for the payment of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances. If the Borrower fails to provide such notice to the Administrative Agent or fails to repay the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances, of if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such maturity date, the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances shall be deemed to have been converted on the maturity date thereof into a Prime Loan, in an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances. Otherwise, the Borrower shall provide payment to the Administrative Agent on


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 36			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

behalf of the Lenders of an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances issued by the Lenders on their maturity date.

(23)Waiver of Presentment and Other Conditions. The Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defence to payment of any amounts due to a Lender in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of the Bankers’ Acceptance being held, at the maturity thereof, by the Lender in its own right and the Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if the Lender as holder sues the Borrower on the Bankers’ Acceptance for payment of the amount payable by the Borrower thereunder. On the specified maturity date of a B/A, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender that has accepted such B/A the full face amount of such B/A and after such payment, the Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and the Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.

(24)Circumstances Making Bankers’ Acceptances Unavailable. If the Administrative Agent determines in good faith, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, and notifies the Borrower that, by reason of circumstances affecting the money market there is no market for, or a material adverse change has occurred in respect of the market for, Bankers’ Acceptances or the demand for Bankers’ Acceptances is insufficient to allow the sale or trading of the Bankers’ Acceptances created hereunder, or that for any reason adequate and fair means do not exist of ascertaining the CDOR Rate applicable to any Bankers’ Acceptances, or that the CDOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the effective cost of making, funding and maintaining a Bankers’ Acceptance, then:

(a)the right of the Borrower to request an Advance by means of Bankers’ Acceptances shall be and remain suspended until the Administrative Agent determines, and notifies the Borrower, that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and the Administrative Agent so notifies the Borrower; and

(b)any notice of Drawdown or Rollover in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance which is outstanding shall be cancelled and any outstanding notice of Conversion to convert a Prime Loan into a Bankers’ Acceptance which is outstanding shall be cancelled and the request for a Drawdown or Rollover by means of Bankers’ Acceptance shall be deemed to be a request for a Drawdown of, or Conversion to, a Prime Loan in the face amount of the requested Bankers’ Acceptance.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the suspension of the Borrower’s right to request an Advance by means of Bankers’ Acceptances and of the termination of any such suspension.

(25)BA Equivalent Loans by Non BA Lenders. Whenever the Borrower requests an Advance under this Agreement by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, each Non BA Lender shall, in lieu of accepting a Bankers’ Acceptance, make a BA Equivalent Loan in an amount equal to the Non BA Lender’s Rateable Portion of the Advance.

(26)Terms Applicable to Discount Notes. As set out in the definition of Bankers’ Acceptances, that term includes Discount Notes and all terms of this Agreement applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances shall apply equally to Discount Notes evidencing BA Equivalent Loans with such changes as may in the context be necessary. For greater certainty:

(a)the term of a Discount Note shall be the same as the Contract Period for Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased on the same Drawdown Date in respect of the same Advance;


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 37			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b)an acceptance fee will be payable in respect of a Discount Note and shall be calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the Acceptance Fee in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance; and

(c)the CDOR Rate applicable to a Discount Note shall be the CDOR Rate applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by a Lender on the same Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, in respect of the same Advance.

(27)Depository Bills and Notes Act. At the option of any Lender, Bankers’ Acceptances under this Agreement to be accepted by that Lender may be issued in the form of depository bills for deposit with CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada). All depository bills so issued shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 2.11.

(f)An L/C may contain provisions providing for the automatic extension of the Contract Period on terms and conditions set forth in such L/C.

(g)The Borrower may request an amendment of any L/C by giving written notice specifying the details of such request to the Issuing Bank at its Branch of Account (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least three Business Days (or any shorter period acceptable to the Issuing Bank) before the then current expiry date of such L/C. Subject to the terms of the L/C Agreement therefor and the terms of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank shall, subject to any such amendment being acceptable to the Issuing Bank, amend such L/C and shall furnish a copy of such amended L/C to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower promptly following the amendment thereof.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Bank and the Lenders all fees and commissions received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts.

(32)L/C Participations.

(h)The Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender, and, to induce the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such Xxxxxx’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such Xxxxxx’s Rateable Portion of the Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under each L/C issued under this Agreement and the amount of each drawing paid by the Issuing Bank thereunder. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Bank that, if a drawing is paid under any L/C for which the Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank upon demand at the Issuing Bank’s Branch of Account an amount equal to such Xxxxxx’s Rateable Portion of the amount of such drawing, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(i)If, at any time after the Issuing Bank has made payment under any L/C and has received from any Lender its Rateable Portion of such payment in accordance with Section 2.12(5)(a), the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such L/C (whether from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Bank will promptly distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender its Rateable Portion thereof; provided, however, that if any such payment received by the Issuing


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 39			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Bank shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Bank, such Lender shall return to the Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Bank to it.

(33)Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower.

(d)The Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank (whether through Advances under the Credit Facility or otherwise) on each date on which a drawing is made under any L/C and paid by the Issuing Bank for the amount equal to the aggregate of (i) such drawing so paid and (ii) any charges or other costs or expenses which are incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Bank at its Branch of Account in lawful money of the currency in which such L/C is denominated and in immediately available funds.

(e)If the Borrower fails to fully reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount owing under Section 2.12(6)(a), then such amount shall be deemed to be an Advance by way of Prime Loan or USBR Loan, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. For greater certainty, interest shall be payable on such Advance in accordance with Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, as applicable. Each Lender hereby agrees that, following receipt by it of notice of such drawing and the failure of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank, it will make the amount of its Rateable Portion of such Advance available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent’s Branch of Account in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following the date of such notice (the “Reimbursement Date”). The Borrower hereby irrevocably directs the Issuing Bank to apply any amounts received by it pursuant to this Section 2.12(6)(b) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under such L/C. If any Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent its Rateable Portion of such Advance before 11:00 a.m. on the Reimbursement Date with respect thereto, such Lender will pay to the Issuing Bank on demand interest on the amount of its Rateable Portion of such Advance at the Prime Rate calculated for the number of days for which such amount is not paid. Each Lender shall be obligated to make available its Rateable Portion of the Advance contemplated by this Section 2.12(6)(b) regardless of whether the conditions precedent to Advances set forth in this Agreement are then satisfied.

(f)If it shall be illegal or unlawful for the Borrower to incur Advances as contemplated by Section 2.12(6)(b) above or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Lender to be deemed to have assumed a rateable share of the Reimbursement Obligations owed to the Issuing Bank, then (i) immediately and without further action whatsoever, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation equal to such Xxxxxx’s Rateable Portion of the L/C Exposure in respect of all L/Cs then outstanding and (ii) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any L/C, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation in the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Rateable Portion of the L/C Exposure with respect to such L/Cs on the date of such issuance. Each Lender shall fund its participation in all payments or disbursements made under the L/Cs in the same manner as provided in this Agreement with respect to Advances.

(34)Obligations Absolute.


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 40			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

(j)The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.12 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, compensation, counterclaim or defence to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Bank or any beneficiary of a L/C issued for the account of the Borrower. For greater certainty, notwithstanding that a L/C issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of the Borrower or an entity controlled by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary of the Borrower or an entity controlled by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party” or the like of or for such L/C, and without derogating from any rights of the Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary or entity controlled by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary in respect of such L/C, the Borrower shall (i) reimburse, indemnify and compensate the Issuing Bank for such L/C (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such L/C had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defences that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or a surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary or entity controlled by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary in respect of such L/C. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such L/C for its Subsidiaries or entities controlled by the Borrower or any of such Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the business of such Subsidiaries or entities controlled by the Borrower or any of such Subsidiaries.

(k)The Borrower agrees with the Issuing Bank that the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations under Section 2.12 shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) the validity or genuineness of documents even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or (ii) any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any L/C or any other party to which such L/C may be transferred or (iii) any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such L/C or any such transferee, except that the Borrower reserves its right to subsequently assert claims against the Issuing Bank in case of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

(l)The Issuing Bank shall not 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 L/C, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(m)The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any L/C issued for the account of the Borrower or the related drafts or documents, if done in good faith in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in this Section 2.12 and, as applicable, in the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, the International Standby Practices ISP 98 or the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees URDG 758, in each case as published from time to time by the International Chamber of Commerce, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower.

(35)Drawings under Letters of Credit. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any L/C, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any L/C shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 41			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

such L/C, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such L/C in connection with such presentment are in compliance with such L/C.

(36)Retirement. An L/C may only be retired on its expiry date which must be a Business Day unless and to the extent it has been honoured or unless the written consent of the beneficiary of the instrument has been obtained and the original instrument has been returned to the Issuing Bank.

(37)Issuing Bank’s Records. The Issuing Bank shall maintain records showing the undrawn and unexpired amount of each L/C outstanding hereunder, and showing for each L/C (a) the Issuance Date and expiration date thereof, (b) the amount thereof, (c) the date and amount of all payments made thereunder, and (d) each Lender’s Rateable Portion of the amount of each L/C. The Issuing Bank shall make copies of such records available to the Administrative Agent and to the Borrower upon its request.

(38)Indemnity. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Issuing Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), rateably according to its Rateable Portion, from and against any and all losses and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of any issuance of any L/C hereunder, or any L/C Disbursement made in respect of any such L/C; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses and claims resulting from the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Section 2.7Conversion and Rollover Not Repayment

No Conversion or Rollover shall constitute a repayment of any Advance or a new Advance.

Section 2.8Determination Final

With respect to all matters referred to in this Article 2, the determination by the Administrative Agent shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders, absent manifest error.

Section 2.9Reliance on Oral Instructions

The Administrative Agent and any Lender shall be entitled to act upon the oral instructions of any Person who the Administrative Agent or the Lender, acting reasonably, believes is a Person authorized by the Borrower to act on the Borrower’s behalf. Neither the Administrative Agent or the Lender shall be responsible for any error or omission in those instructions or in the performance thereof except in the case of gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Administrative Agent, the Lender or their respective employees. Any instructions so given shall be confirmed in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as applicable, on the same day. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for any loss or expense suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lender as a consequence of the Administrative Agent or the Lender acting upon instructions given or agreements made over the telephone or by electronic transmission of any type with Persons reasonably believed by the Administrative Agent or the Lender to have been acting on the Borrower’s behalf.

LEGAL_39694004.1			- 43			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

those accounts by appropriate entries all amounts on account of those Obligations and all payments on account thereof. Those accounts and records will constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of those Obligations of the Borrower from time to time, the date each Advance was made and the amounts that the Borrower has paid from time to time on account of those Obligations.

Section 2.12Existing Advances

This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Prime Loans, USBR Loans, SOFR Loans and Bankers’ Acceptance outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, which shall remain outstanding under this Agreement after the Closing Date as modified hereby. For greater certainty, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limitation, all “Advances” outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as at the Closing Date are and shall be “Advances” under this Agreement, all “Obligations” outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as at the Closing Date shall constitute and form part of the Obligations under this Agreement, and shall be secured by the Security Documents.

Section 2.13Commitment Adjustments

In order to give effect to the amendment in the Commitments provided for herein, the principal amount of outstanding Advances shall be adjusted by the Administrative Agent in accordance with its normal practices as follows:

(h)on the Closing Date, that portion of the principal amount of outstanding Advances owing to each Lender shall be adjusted to ensure each Lender is owed its amended Rateable Portion of the principal amount of outstanding Advances and, after the Closing Date, all Advances shall be made on the basis of the amended Rateable Portion of each Lender; provided that until the occurrence of the maturity date of any existing SOFR Loans which are outstanding on the Closing Date, no such adjustment in the principal amount of outstanding Advances shall be made to any Lender’s share of such existing SOFR Loans;

(i)for certainty, if and to the extent such existing SOFR Loans are subject to a Rollover or Conversion on or after the Closing Date, all Lenders shall fund their amended Rateable Portions of such Rollover or Conversion;

(j)while such existing SOFR Loans are outstanding, no Lender shall participate in any other Advances under the Credit Facility to the extent that such participation would result in such Lender exceeding its Commitment;

(k)if and for so long as each Lender’s actual percentage share of the principal amount of outstanding Advances does not equal its amended Rateable Portion as a result of the foregoing provisions, the applicable provisions of this Agreement relating to determination and payment of amounts owing to the Lenders on a pro rata basis shall be adjusted accordingly; and

(l)each of the Lenders agrees and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, on its behalf, to take such steps and actions and to execute all such documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent deems necessary to give effect to Sections 2.20(a) to (d) hereof.

Section 3.3Interest Act

For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), where in this Agreement a rate of interest is to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate is equivalent is the rate multiplied by the number of days in the year for which the calculation is made and divided by 360, 365 or 366, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

Section 3.4Limit on Rate of Interest

(52)Adjustment. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding that provision, that amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or result in a receipt by that Lender of interest at a criminal rate, the adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows:

(a)firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the affected Lender under this Section 3.11; and

(b)thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(53)Reimbursement. Notwithstanding Section 3.11(1), and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to the excess, and pending reimbursement, the amount of the excess shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

(54)Actuarial Principles. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 3.11 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Advance remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of interest (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of that determination.

Section 3.4Change in Circumstances

(55)Reduction in Rate of Return. If at any time any Lender determines, acting reasonably, that any change in any Applicable Law or any interpretation thereof after the date of this Agreement, or compliance by the Lender with any direction, requirement, guidelines or policies or request from any regulatory authority given after the date of this Agreement, whether or not


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 48			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

having the force of law, has or would have, as a consequence of a Lender’s obligation under this Agreement, and taking into consideration the Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy, the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital to a level below that which the Lender would have achieved but for the change or compliance, then from time to time, upon demand of the Lender, the Borrower shall pay the Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the Lender for the reduction.

(56)Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy, etc. If, after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of any Applicable Law or any change or introduction of a change in any Applicable Law (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any Governmental Authority, central bank or other authority or entity charged with the administration thereof, or any change in the compliance of any Lender therewith now or hereafter or the designation of the Borrower as a public sector entity in competition for the purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines applicable to Canadian chartered banks:

(c)subjects any Lender to, or causes the withdrawal or termination of a previously granted exemption with respect to, any Tax, or changes the basis of taxation, or increases any existing Tax, on payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under or by virtue of this Agreement (except for Excluded Taxes);

(d)imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, deposit insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by or any other acquisition of funds by, an office of any Lender in respect of any Advance or any other condition with respect to this Agreement;

(e)imposes on a Lender or requires to be maintained by a Lender any additional capital in respect of the Credit Facility; or

(f)imposes any Tax on reserves or deemed reserves with respect to the undrawn portion of the Commitment of any Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing, in the sole determination of the Lender acting reasonably, shall be to increase the cost to, or reduce the amount received or receivable by the Lender or its effective rate of return in respect of making, maintaining or funding an Advance hereunder, upon becoming aware of such event, the Lender shall, acting reasonably, determine that amount of money which shall compensate the Lender for the increase in cost or reduction in income.

(57)Deemed Change in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the purposes of Section 3.12(1) and Section 3.12(2), (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Applicable Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(58)Payment of Additional Compensation. Upon a Lender having determined that it is entitled to compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.12 (“Additional Compensation”), the Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a photocopy of the relevant Applicable Law or request, as applicable, and a certificate of an officer of the Lender setting forth the Additional Compensation and the basis of calculation thereof, which shall be conclusive evidence of the Additional Compensation in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender within 30 Business Days of the giving of notice the Additional


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 49			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Compensation for the account of the Lender accruing from the date of the notification. The Lender shall be entitled to be paid Additional Compensation from time to time to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.12 are then applicable notwithstanding that the Lender has previously been paid Additional Compensation (but without duplication).

(59)Commercially Reasonable. If it is commercially reasonable in the opinion of a Lender receiving Additional Compensation under this Section 3.12, the Lender shall make reasonable efforts to limit the incidence of that Additional Compensation, including seeking recovery for the account of the Borrower following the Borrower’s request and at the Borrower’s expense, if the Lender, in its sole determination, would suffer no material economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage as a result.

Section 3.5Payment of Portion

Notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement, if a Lender gives the notice provided for in Section 3.12 with respect to any Advance (an “Affected Borrowing”), the Borrower may, at its option, upon 30 Business Days notice to that Lender (which notice shall be irrevocable), repay to the Lender in full the Affected Borrowing outstanding together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so repaid up to the date of repayment, together with such Additional Compensation as may be applicable to the date of payment.

Section 3.6Illegality

If any Applicable Law, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any Governmental Authority or central bank or comparable agency or any other entity charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency or other entity, now or hereafter makes it unlawful or impossible for the Lender to make, fund or maintain an Advance or to perform its obligations under or by virtue of this Agreement, the Lender may, by written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, terminate its obligations to make further Advances under this Agreement, and the Borrower, if required by the Lender, shall repay forthwith (or at the end of such longer period as the Lender in its discretion has agreed) the principal amount of the Advance together with accrued interest without penalty or bonus (and in the case of (i) Bankers’ Acceptances, the face amount thereof and (ii) in the case of Letters of Credit, the maximum amount payable under any outstanding Letters of Credit) and such Additional Compensation as may be applicable to the date of payment and all other outstanding Obligations to the Lender. If any change shall only affect a portion of any Lender’s obligations under this Agreement which is, in the opinion of the Lender, severable from the remainder of this Agreement so that the remainder of this Agreement may be continued in full force and effect without otherwise affecting any of the obligations of the Lender or the Borrower under this Agreement, the Lender shall only declare its obligations under that portion so terminated.

Section 3.7Indemnity

(60)General. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”) against all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, losses (other than loss of profits), expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel), damages and liabilities, including, without limitation, liabilities arising under Environmental Laws (each, a “Claim”) that any Indemnified Person may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any default by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Document, or (b) any material misrepresentation by the Borrower contained in any writing delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement, or (c) the Administrative Agent or any Lender entering into this Agreement, or (d) the use of proceeds of the Credit Facility by the


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 50			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Borrower, or (e) the operations of the Borrower, except that no Indemnified Person will be indemnified for any Claim resulting from its own gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct.

(61)SOFR Loans. For greater certainty, if the Borrower repays, prepays or cancels a SOFR Loan on a day other than a SOFR Interest Payment Date falling on the last day of a Contract Period applicable to the SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable Lender for any loss or expense suffered or incurred by the Lender as a consequence thereof, including, without limitation, any loss of profit or expenses which the Lender incurs by reason of the early liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lender to effect or maintain the SOFR Loan or any additional interest or other charges payable to lenders of funds borrowed by the Lender in order to effect or maintain the SOFR Loan together with any other additional charges, costs or expenses incurred by the Lender relative thereto.

(62)Certificate. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or the affected Lender, as the case may be, setting out the basis for the determination of the amount necessary to indemnify the applicable Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 3.15 shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the correctness of that determination.

(63)Survival. It is the intention of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender that Section 2.16 and this Section 3.15 shall supersede any other provisions in this Agreement which in any way limit the liability of the Borrower to the extent inconsistent therewith. The obligations of the Borrower under these Sections are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any act, omission or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not occasioned by the fault of the Indemnified Persons, except in respect of gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct by it. The obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.16 and this Section 3.15 shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of the Credit Facility.

Section 3.5CDOR Rate Discontinuation

(64)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Document, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower or the Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined that:

(g)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the CDOR Rate for any Contract Period, including because the Refinitiv Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) Page is not available or published on a current basis for the applicable period and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;

(h)the administrator of the CDOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the CDOR Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be made available or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans;

(i)a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the CDOR Rate shall no longer be permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans (each such specific date in clause (ii) above and in this clause (iii) a “CDOR Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(j)syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 3.16, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the CDOR Rate,

then reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 51			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

may mutually agree upon a successor rate to the CDOR Rate, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the CDOR Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein ), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Canadian Dollars denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “CDOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed CDOR Successor Rate conforming changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders do not accept such amendment.

(65)If no CDOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under Section 3.16(1)(a) above exist or a CDOR Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans, or applicable periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance of, conversion to or rollover of Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, (to the extent of the affected Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans, or applicable periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for an Advance of Prime Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (b)) in the amount specified therein.

(66)Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of the CDOR Successor Rate (exclusive of any margin) shall provide that in no event shall such CDOR Successor Rate be less than zero for the purposes of this Agreement. In addition, the CDOR Rate shall not be included or referenced in the definition of Prime Rate.

Section 3.5Benchmark Replacement Setting

(67)Benchmark Replacement.

(k)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders.

(68)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 52			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

anything to the contrary herein or in any other Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Document.

(69)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.17(4) below. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.17, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.17.

(70)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks (the “IOSCO Principles”), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Contract Period” (or any similar or analogous definition or provision) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the IOSCO Principles for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Contract Period” (or any similar or analogous definition or provision) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(71)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Loan, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to USBR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the US Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the US Base Rate.

Article 5 – PAYMENTS AND TAXES

Section 5.1Payments Generally

All amounts owing in respect of any Advance under the Credit Facility, whether on account of principal, interest or fees or otherwise, shall be paid in the currency in which the


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 55			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Advance is outstanding. Each payment under this Agreement shall be made for value on the day the payment is due, provided that if that day is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due on the Business Day next following the day, unless, in the case of a SOFR related transaction, the Business Day next following the day is in the next following month, in which event the payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All interest and other fees shall continue to accrue until payment has been received by the Administrative Agent. Each payment made hereunder shall be credited for same day value if received, at the Administrative Agent’s Account for Payments at or before 1:00 p.m. on the day the payment is due. Receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of funds under this Agreement, as principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be deemed to be receipt of those funds by the Lenders.

Section 5.2Taxes

(76)Payments. All payments to be made by or on behalf of the Borrower under or with respect to this Agreement are to be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law. If the Borrower is required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (a) the amount payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to, and taking into account all Taxes on, or arising by reason of the payment of, additional amounts under this Section 5.2), the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, receives and retains an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been required, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, and (c) the Borrower shall remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with Applicable Laws and provide evidence of payment to the Administrative Agent if requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts in respect of Excluded Taxes.

(77)Indemnity. The Borrower shall, upon written request, indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount of any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, and any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) levied or imposed with respect to any indemnity payment made under this Section 5.2. The Borrower shall also indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) that may arise as a consequence of the execution, sale, transfer, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Document. The indemnifications contained in this Section 5.2(2) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.

(78)Tax Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines in its good faith that it has received and retained a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or a Guarantor (including by payment of additional amounts under Section 5.2(1)), it shall pay to the Borrower or applicable Guarantor, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments and payment of additional amounts made under this Section 5.2 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower or Guarantor, upon the request of the Lender or Administrative Agent, shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or Guarantor to the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be (plus any penalties, interest or other amounts imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority), if such Lender or Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2(3), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 56			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

an amount to the Borrower or a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.2(3) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, in a less favourable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or the Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to the refund had never been paid. This Section 5.2(3) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower, a Guarantor or any other Person.

(79)Excluded Taxes. For the purpose of Section 3.12(2)(a) and this Section 5.2, “Excluded Taxes” means, in relation to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, any Taxes imposed on the net income or capital or franchise of the Administrative Agent or the Lender by any Governmental Authority as a result of the Administrative Agent or the Lender (a) carrying on a trade or business or having a permanent establishment or lending office in any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof, (b) being organized under the laws of such jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof, or (c) being or being deemed to be resident in such jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof. “Excluded Taxes” shall also exclude any branch profits tax or any similar tax imposed by any jurisdiction in which the Lender is located.

(80)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 the 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 Document shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, (a) any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements, and (b) any Lender that ceases to be, or to be deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the ITA shall within 5 days thereof notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing.

(81)FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the US Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the US Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(82)Survival. The Borrower’s, Xxxxxxx’ and Administrative Agent’s obligations under this Section 5.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable under or with respect to this Agreement.


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 57			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Section 5.3No Set-Off

All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and without any deduction of any kind.

Section 5.4Application of Payments Before Exercise of Rights

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower on account of the Obligations before the exercise of any rights under Section 10.2 or otherwise, shall be paid to the Administrative Agent and distributed to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Rateable Portion (or, as the case may be, to or among the Administrative Agent, the Lender or the Lenders to whom those payments are owing) in each instance in the following order:

(a)firstly, in payment of any amounts due and payable as and by way of Agency Fees owing to the Administrative Agent for its services provided hereunder;

(b)secondly, a payment of any other amount due and payable as and by way of recoverable expenses hereunder;

(c)thirdly, in payment of any interest, fees, or default interest then due and payable on or in respect of the Advances;

(d)fourthly, in repayment of any principal amounts of the Advances due to the Lenders; and

(e)fifthly, in payment of any other amounts then due and payable by the Borrower hereunder or in connection herewith.

LEGAL_39694004.1			- 88			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b)any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by the Borrower or a Guarantor if such sale or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement if such waiver or consent is consented to by the Majority Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

Each of the Lenders hereby directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 12.19 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

Section 12.11Indemnity of Administrative Agent

The Administrative Agent may refrain from exercising any right, power or discretion or taking any action to protect or enforce the rights of any Lender under this Agreement and the Documents until it has been indemnified or secured to its satisfaction against any and all costs, losses, expenses or liabilities (including legal fees) which it would or might sustain or incur as a result of the action or exercise. For greater certainty in respect of such indemnification, the Administrative Agent may rely upon any indemnity provided in this Agreement and, in addition, it may request and shall receive any additional indemnity as it deems necessary under this Section 12.20.

Section 12.12Administrative Agent May Debit Accounts

The Borrower authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to debit automatically, by mechanical, electronic or manual means, any bank account of the Borrower maintained with Royal (for so long as Royal is Administrative Agent) for all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Document, including the repayment of principal and the payment of interest, fees and all charges for the keeping of that bank account. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the particulars of those debits in the normal course.

Section 12.13Erroneous Payments

(178)If the Administrative Agent (a) notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank (any such Lender, Issuing Bank or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 12.22(2)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (b) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 12.22 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 89			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, (i) in respect of amounts in US Dollars, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, or (ii) in respect of amounts in Canadian Dollars, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 12.22(1) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(179)Without limiting Section 12.22(1), each Lender, Issuing Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (a) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (b) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (c) that such Lender or Issuing Bank, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (a) or (b), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (c)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.22(2).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.22(2) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 12.22(1) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(180)Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under Section 12.22(1).

(181)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with Section 12.22(1), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (a) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments ) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Loan”) in an amount equal


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 90			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loan, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (b) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (c) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (d) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (e) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(182)Subject to Article 13 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Xxxxxx (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (a) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (b) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(183)The parties hereto agree that (a) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be) under the Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Borrower’s Obligations under the Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (b) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Guarantor; provided that this Section 12.22 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent;


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 91			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(184)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(185)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.22 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Document.

Article 13– ASSIGNS AND PARTICIPANTS

Section 13.1Assignment and Participation

(186)Benefit and Burden of this Agreement. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto, their respective successors and any permitted Assignees.

(187)Borrower. The Borrower may not assign, delegate or transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, except as permitted by Section 9.2(7).

(188)Assignment and Participation.

(d)Any Lender (herein sometimes called a “Granting Lender”) may grant a participation in the Credit Facility to one or more financial institutions or other entities (a “Participant”); provided, that prior to an Event of Default, a Lender shall not grant a participation in the Credit Facility to (i) a Person if such participation would increase the cost of the Credit Facility to the Borrower in respect of payments made to the Lender and/or the Participant or (ii) a Person that is a direct business competitor of the Borrower. If a participation is granted, (i) the Granting Lender shall remain fully liable for all of its obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement to the same extent as if the participation had not been granted, and (ii) the Granting Lender shall administer the participation of the Participant. None of the Participant, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have any rights against or obligations to one another, nor shall any of them be required to deal directly with one another in respect of the participation by a Participant. A Participant shall have no voting rights as “Lenders” under this Agreement.

(e)Any Lender (herein sometimes called an “Assigning Lender”) may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Facility to one or more financial institutions or other entities (other than any Defaulting Lender) (each an “Assignee”); provided, that prior to an Event of Default, a Lender shall not assign its rights or obligations under the Credit Facility to (i) a Person if such assignment would increase the cost of the Credit Facility to the Borrower in respect of payments made to the Assignee or (ii) a Person that is a direct business competitor of the Borrower; and, provided further, (i) that if an assignment relates to a Letter of Credit, such assignment must be approved by the Issuing Bank (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 92			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Person that is the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender with a Commitment under the Credit Facility, and (ii) that each such assignment shall be in minimum amounts of US$[DELETION]. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender shall assign any portion of its Commitment if, after that assignment, the Assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitment would be less than US$[DELETION]. An assignment shall become effective when the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have been notified of it by the Assigning Lender and have received from the parties to the assignment an executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of Schedule 13.1(3)(b) (addressed to all the parties to this Agreement) and the Administrative Agent has received from the Assignee an assignment fee of a minimum of Cdn$[DELETION] [Amounts have been deleted for confidentiality reasons.] per Lender per assignment. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party under this Agreement in respect of the rights and obligations assigned to it, and the Assigning Lender shall be released and discharged accordingly and to the same extent, and such Schedules as applicable shall be amended accordingly from time to time without further notice or other requirement. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the Assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advances or the Commitment assigned.

(189)Limitation. No Lender shall be entitled to grant a participation under Section 13.1(3)(a), make an assignment under Section 13.1(3)(b) or change its Branch of Account if this would, immediately following the assignment, participation or change of Branch of Account, increase the cost of the Credit Facility to the Borrower.

(190)Borrower Cooperation. The Borrower will, at the Lenders’ expense (exclusive of the fees of legal counsel to the Borrower), execute such further documents and instruments and do such further things as the Administrative Agent or Lenders may reasonably request for the purpose of any participation or assignment.

(191)Revised Fee Arrangement. With respect to a Lender who assigns Bankers’ Acceptances and SOFR Loans which are outstanding on the date hereof, provided that such Bankers’ Acceptances and SOFR Loans shall remain the liability and obligation of the Assignee and the Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights, titles and benefits arising out of this Agreement and the other Documents with respect to such Bankers’ Acceptances (including reimbursement rights) and SOFR Loans, the Assignee shall be entitled to a proportionate amount of the fees and interest paid in respect of such Bankers’ Acceptances and SOFR Loans based upon the number of days remaining in the term of any such Bankers’ Acceptances or SOFR Loans, as applicable, as agreed to between the Assignee and the Assigning Lender.

(192)Disclosure. Subject to Section 14.14, each Lender may disclose to any prospective Assignee or Participant, on a confidential basis, such information concerning the Borrower (including any such information provided to the Lender by the Borrower) as it considers appropriate without incurring any liability for any breach of the duty of banker-customer confidentiality or otherwise, except in circumstances of gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Lender.

Section 13.2Assignment After Event of Default

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, where an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise restrict the right of a Lender to assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under or with respect to this


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 93			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such assignment shall not require the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

Article 14 – MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1Binding Amendments, Waivers, etc.

(193)Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 14.1, no amendment, waiver, discharge or termination of any provision of this Agreement or any other Document and no waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement or any other Document and no consent to any departure by a party from any provision of this Agreement shall:

(a)be effective or binding upon the Borrower or any Guarantor party thereto unless it is evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower or any Guarantor party thereto; nor

(b)be effective or binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders unless it is approved in writing by the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination may be validly effected by execution by the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, of an instrument in writing, without requiring the execution of that instrument by the Borrower or any Guarantor, so long as the amendment, waiver, discharge or termination does not adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Document. The Administrative Agent shall forward a copy of the written instrument to the Borrower or any Guarantor as the case may be, as soon as practicable following the execution thereof. The amendment, waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance, for the specific purpose and for the specific length of time for which it is given. For greater certainty, any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Document that relates to the rights or obligations of the Issuing Bank shall require the written agreement of the Issuing Bank.

(194)Errors. The Administrative Agent may correct any typographical error or other error of a clerical nature in this Agreement and the other Documents and substitute the corrected text in the counterparts of this Agreement and the other Documents if the corrections do not modify in any manner the meaning or the interpretation of this Agreement or any other Document and if the Administrative Agent gives the Borrower not less than 5 Business Days prior notice of any correction and the Borrower does not object in writing to such correction within a period of 5 Business Days after receipt of such notice.

(195)Approval of All Lenders. Where any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination relates to the following matters, the amendment, waiver, discharge or termination requires the approval of all Lenders:

(a)a decrease in the rate or amount of any principal, interest or fees or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any alteration in the currency or mode of calculation or computation thereof;

(b)any extension or reduction of the time for any payments required to be made by the Borrower;

(c)any change in the Maturity Date;

(d)the types of Advances available;


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 94			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

(e)an increase in the Total Commitment or in any Lender’s Commitment (excluding, for greater certainty, as provided in Section 2.9);

(f)an extension or reduction of the notice period required in connection with any Advance;

(g)the definition of Majority Lenders;

(h)the nature and scope of the Security Documents, including (i) the release or have the effect of releasing (A) Liens on all or any substantial portion of the Collateral granted under the Security Documents (except as provided for in Section 12.19), and (B) the Guarantors from their Guarantees, and (ii) the contractual subordination of the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral;

(i)an assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; or

(j)any provision of this Section 14.1, or of Sections 2.3, 11.4, 11.5 and 12.18.

Any other amendment, waiver, discharge or termination requires the approval of only the Majority Lenders, which approval, if obtained, shall be binding upon all the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Documents or to enter into additional Documents as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Conforming Change or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 3.17 in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (a), (b) or (e) above and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification.

(196)Request for Approval. If the approval of a Lender is required under this Section 14.1, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lender in writing of the issue to be decided and, if the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that it is appropriate to do so, request the Lender’s approval of a course of action proposed by the Administrative Agent. In requesting a Xxxxxx’s approval, the Administrative Agent may establish, in its discretion acting reasonably, a deadline by which the Lender shall respond to the Administrative Agent’s request. If the Lender fails to respond by that deadline, that Xxxxxx’s failure to respond shall be conclusive evidence of the disapproval by the Lender of the course of action proposed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and acting reasonably, extend the deadline set by the Administrative Agent by which the Lender shall respond to the Administrative Agent’s request.

(197)Replacement Lender. In the event that in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 14.1(3), the consent of the Majority Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”) the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Advances and its Commitment in full to one or more Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any assignment from the Non-Consenting Lender; provided that:


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 95			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

(c)no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing;

(d)on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (a) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Advances of the Terminated Lender, (b) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (c) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to this Agreement;

(e)on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender in respect to any break-funding costs or otherwise owed as a consequence of such repayment or otherwise as if it were a prepayment;

(f)on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay the assignment fee required to be paid pursuant to Section 13.1(3)(b) to the Administrative Agent;

(g)all of the requirements, as applicable, for such assignment contained in Section 13.1 shall have been satisfied; and

(h)each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender;

provided that, the Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also the Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the Borrower shall cause each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank to be cancelled or cash collateralized or otherwise supported in a manner satisfactory to the Issuing Bank. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitment, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

Section 14.2Waivers Effective in Specific Instance

Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by a party from any provision of this Agreement will be effective only in the specific instance, for the specific purpose and for the specific length of time for which it is given.

Section 14.3Notice

Unless otherwise specified, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given to a party under this Agreement or any Document shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or sent by prepaid registered mail or by facsimile to the address or facsimile number of the party set out beside its name at the foot of this Agreement to the attention of the Person there indicated or to such other address, facsimile number or other Person’s attention as the party may have specified by notice in writing given under this Section. Any notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been given (a) if delivered personally, when received; (b) if mailed, subject to Section 14.4, on the third Business Day following the date of mailing; (c) if sent by facsimile, on the Business Day when the appropriate confirmation of receipt has been received if the confirmation of receipt has been received before 5:00 p.m. on that Business Day or, if the confirmation of receipt has been received after 5:00 p.m. on that Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day; and (d) if sent by facsimile on a day which is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day on which confirmation of receipt has been received.


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 96			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Section 14.4Disruption of Postal Service

If a notice has been sent by prepaid registered mail and before the fifth Business Day after the mailing there is a discontinuance or interruption of regular postal service so that the notice cannot reasonably be expected to be delivered within five Business Days after the mailing, the notice will be deemed to have been given when it is actually received.

Section 14.5Further Assurances

The Borrower shall from time to time promptly, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, take such action, and execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to give effect to the provisions and intent of this Agreement.

Section 14.6No Deemed Subordination

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including any provision for, reference to, or acknowledgement of, any Lien or Permitted Lien), nothing herein and no approval by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Lien or Permitted Lien (whether such approval is oral or in writing) shall be construed as or deemed to constitute a subordination by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any security interest or other right or interest in or to the Collateral or any part thereof in favour of any Lien or Permitted Lien or any holder of any Lien or Permitted Lien.

Section 14.7Judgment Currency

If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert any amount owing or payable to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement from the currency in which it is due (the “Agreed Currency”) into a particular currency (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange applied in that conversion shall be that at which the Administrative Agent, in accordance with its normal procedures, could purchase the Agreed Currency with the Judgment Currency at or about noon on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any amount owing or payable under or by virtue of this Agreement to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in the Agreed Currency shall, notwithstanding any judgment and payment in the Judgment Currency, be satisfied only to the extent that the Administrative Agent, in accordance with its normal procedures, could purchase the Agreed Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency so paid at or about noon on the next Business Day following that payment; and if the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Administrative Agent could so purchase is less than the amount originally due in the Agreed Currency, the Borrower shall, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment or payment, indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against any loss.

Section 14.8Waivers

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege shall preclude the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Each of the parties irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.

Section 14.11WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 14.13Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 14.1Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs

To the extent that the Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedge Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(c)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Documents were governed by


LEGAL_39694004.1			- 99			SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(d)As used in this Section 14.14, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

(198)Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to it, its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, consultants and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative, credit-linked note or similar transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or a Guarantor.

(199)For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received in connection with this Agreement from the Borrower or any Guarantor relating to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to such receipt. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent may disclose to any agency or organization that assigns standard identification numbers to loan facilities such basic information describing the facilities provided hereunder as is necessary to assign unique identifiers (and, if requested, supply a copy of this Agreement), it being understood that the Person to whom such disclosure is made will be

informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to make available to the public only such Information as such person normally makes available in the course of its business of assigning identification numbers.

(200)In addition, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may provide the information described on Schedule 14.15(3) concerning the Borrower and the credit facilities established herein to Loan Pricing Corporation and/or other recognized trade publishers of information for general circulation in the loan market.
