All schedules, attachments, addenda and exhibits hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference, and taken together with this Agreement, constitute but a single agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1 – AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

1.1 Loans

(a) Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the Closing Date and until the Commitment Termination Date: (i) Lender agrees to make available to the Borrowers advances (each, a “Revolving Credit Advance”) in $ based upon RBP or Term XXXXX (subject to a minimum of $500,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances made based upon RBP, $1,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances made based upon Term XXXXX and in both cases in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) and subject to such limits as Lender may specify in U.S.$ based upon RBUSBR or the Term SOFR Rate (subject to a minimum of U.S.$500,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances made based upon RBUSBR, U.S.$1,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances made based upon the Term SOFR Rate and in both cases in integral multiples of U.S.$100,000 in excess thereof) and to incur Letter of Credit Obligations, subject to the Letter of Credit Sublimit, in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the Borrowing Availability; and (ii) a Borrower may at its request from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow, and may cause Lender to incur Letter of Credit Obligations, under this Section 1.1.

(b) Borrowing. A Borrower shall request each Revolving Credit Advance by written notice to Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each a “Notice of Borrowing”) given no later than: (i) 3:00 p.m. (Toronto time) one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day of the proposed advance, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances to be made in $ based upon RBP and in U.S.$ based upon RBUSBR; and (ii) 12:00 p.m. (Toronto time) one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day of the proposed advance, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances to be made in $ based upon Term XXXXX; and (iii) 12:00 p.m. (Toronto time) two (2) Business Days prior to the Business Day of the proposed advance and within two (2) Business Days of the delivery of the documents and information provided for in Section 4.1(a), in the case of Revolving Credit Advances to be made in U.S.$ based upon the Term SOFR Rate. Lender shall be fully protected under this Agreement in relying upon, and shall be entitled to rely upon: (i) any Notice of Borrowing believed by Xxxxxx to be genuine; and (ii) the assumption that the Persons making electronic requests or executing and delivering a Notice of Borrowing were duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Lender shall have actual knowledge to the contrary. As an accommodation to Borrowers, Xxxxxx may permit telephonic (which shall, promptly upon request be confirmed in writing by a Borrower), electronic, or facsimile requests for a Revolving Credit Advance and electronic or facsimile transmittal of instructions,

- 2 -

authorizations, agreements or reports to Lender by Borrowers. Unless Borrowers specifically direct Lender in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic, facsimile or electronic communications from a Borrower, Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by Borrowers as a result of Xxxxxx’s honouring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically, by facsimile or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Lender by Borrowers, and Xxxxxx shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending it.

(c) Borrowing Base Certificate. In making any Loan hereunder Lender shall be entitled to rely upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Lender by Borrowers and other information available to Lender. Lender shall be under no obligation to make any further Revolving Credit Advance or incur any other Obligation if Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate to Lender by the time specified in Section 4.1(a) or if an Event of Default shall be continuing.

(d) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrowers shall have the right to request, and Xxxxxx agrees to incur, the Letter of Credit Obligations for the account of Borrowers in accordance with Schedule C and for greater certainty, any amount advanced by Lender on account of the Letter of Credit Obligations shall be deemed a Loan and Revolving Credit Advance.

(e) Bank Products. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender may provide Bank Products to Borrowers in accordance with Schedule H.

(f) Overdrafts. The existence of any overdraft in any of the bank accounts maintained with Lender in consequence of Lender charging or debiting any amount as provided in Section 1.10 or any cheque or other item presented for payment in an amount greater than the available balance in such account, whether or not pursuant to any limit established by Lender in its sole, unfettered discretion (an “Overdraft”) shall be deemed to be a request for an advance hereunder and shall constitute a Loan and Revolving Credit Advance (being either an RBP based loan or an RBUSBR based loan, as the case may be) in the amount of such Overdraft. In addition to all other terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, Lender shall not, however, have any obligation to honour any Overdraft if such proposed Overdraft together with all other Overdrafts then outstanding should, in the aggregate, exceed $1,500,000, or the Equivalent Amount thereof in U.S.$.

1.2 Term and Prepayment

(a) Upon the Commitment Termination Date, the obligation of Lender to make Revolving Credit Advances and extend other credit hereunder shall immediately terminate and Borrowers shall pay to Lender in full, in cash: (i) all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon; (ii) an amount sufficient to enable Lender to hold cash collateral as specified in Schedule C; and (iv) all other non-contingent Obligations due to Lender.

(b) If the aggregate Revolving Credit Loans shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Availability, then Borrowers shall immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loan in the amount of such excess.

(c) Borrowers shall have the right, at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender to: (i) terminate voluntarily Borrowers’ right to receive or benefit from, and Xxxxxx’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances and to incur Letter of Credit Obligations;

- 3 -

and (ii) prepay all of the Obligations; provided, however, that with respect to Revolving Credit Advances made based upon Term XXXXX or the Term SOFR Rate prepaid by Borrowers prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrowers shall pay to Lender the amounts described in Section 1.14(c). Following receipt of such notice by Xxxxxx, the effective date of termination of the Revolving Credit Loan specified in such notice shall be deemed to be the Commitment Termination Date. If Borrowers exercise their right of termination and prepayment, or if Xxxxxx’s obligation to make Loans is terminated for any reason prior to the Stated Expiry Date then in effect (including as a result of the occurrence of a Default), Borrowers shall pay to Lender the amounts (if any) described in Section 1.14(c).

1.3 Use of Proceeds

Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loans: (i) to refinance on the Closing Date certain outstanding Indebtedness, if any, as provided in Section 2.1(b); (ii) for working capital and (iii) for general corporate purposes. The Borrowers agree not to request Loans solely for the purpose of accumulating and/or maintaining cash or cash equivalents in depository or investment accounts outside of their ordinary course of business.

1.4 Joint and Several

Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, the term “Borrower” as used herein shall include DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc. and each of them or either of them, as the context may require. Each Borrower acknowledges that (i) it is a co-borrower hereunder and shall be jointly and severally, with the other Borrower, directly and primarily liable to the Lender for the Obligations regardless of which Borrower actually receives Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which the Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, (ii) each of the Obligations shall be secured by all of the Collateral, (iii) each Borrower shall have the obligations of co-maker and shall be primary obligors with respect to the Loans and the other Obligations, it being agreed that the Loans to each Borrower inure to the benefit of all Borrowers, and (iv) the Lender is relying on such joint and several liability of the Borrowers as co-makers in extending the Loans hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any request, notice or other communication received by it from either Borrower on behalf of both Borrowers, and shall be entitled to treat its giving of any notice hereunder pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof as notice to each Borrower.

1.5 Interest

Borrowers shall pay interest to Lender on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances as follows: (i) at a floating per annum rate equal to the RBP plus the Applicable Margin in the case of RBP based loans; (ii) at a floating per annum rate equal to the RBUSBR plus the Applicable Margin in the case of RBUSBR based loans; (iii) at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Term XXXXX plus the Applicable Margin in the case of Term XXXXX Loans; and (iv) at a per annum rate equal to the Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin in the case of Term SOFR Loans (in each case, the “Advance Rate”). All computations of interest in respect of Loans made in $ based upon RBP or Adjusted Term XXXXX or in U.S. $ based upon RBUSBR or the Term SOFR Rate and all calculations of the Letter of Credit Fee, shall be made by Lender on the basis of a three hundred and sixty-five (365) or three hundred and sixty-six (366), as applicable, day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest or fee is payable and shall be calculated daily and compounded (if unpaid) in arrears on the last day of each calendar month with respect to Loans made in $ based upon RBP or in U.S. $ based upon RBUSBR and on each Interest Payment Date with respect to Loans made in $ based upon Adjusted Term XXXXX.

- 4 -

In the case of Loans made in U.S.$ based upon the Term SOFR Rate, interest on each advance will accrue daily on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable and shall be calculated daily and compounded (if unpaid) in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Any change in RBP or RBUSBR shall be effective as of the opening of business on the Business Day such change takes place.

(a) Each determination by Xxxxxx of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Borrowers to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any applicable law or would result in a receipt by the Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such 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 applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lender under this section and thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(b) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances: (i) in arrears for the preceding calendar month on the first Business Day of each calendar month; (ii) on the Interest Payment Date, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term XXXXX or the Term SOFR Rate; (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date; and (iv) if any interest accrues or remains payable after the Commitment Termination Date, upon demand by Xxxxxx.

(c) Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Advance Rate and the Letter of Credit Fee shall in the discretion of Lender be increased by three percentage points (3%) per annum (such increased rate, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations, including unpaid interest and Letter of Credit Fees, shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations.

(d) If any interest or any other payment (including Unused Line Fees and Collateral Monitoring Fees) to Lender under this Agreement becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e) Canadian Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of XXXXX or Term XXXXX, the Lender will have the right to make Canadian Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Canadian Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers of the effectiveness of any Canadian Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of XXXXX or Term XXXXX, as applicable.

(f) Interest Rates. The Lender does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to RBP, RBUSBR, Term XXXXX, Adjusted Term XXXXX, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any component definition thereof or rates

referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement or Canadian Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Canadian Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, RBP, RBUSBR, Term XXXXX, Adjusted Term XXXXX, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark or Canadian Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Canadian Conforming Changes or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Lender and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of RBP, RBUSBR, Term XXXXX, Adjusted Term XXXXX, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement or Canadian Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Lender may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain RBP, RBUSBR, Term XXXXX, Adjusted Term XXXXX, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark or Canadian Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

(iv) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term XXXXX having Interest Periods

- 6 -

expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $500,000 or that is in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof);

provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term XXXXX, as applicable, is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $1,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term XXXXX or U.S.$1,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate, such Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term XXXXX, as applicable, shall automatically convert (i) in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate into Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBUSBR and (ii) in the case of Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Xxxx XXXXX, into Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBP.

(b) Borrowers shall deliver a notice of continuation/conversion (“Notice of Continuation/Conversion”) in the form of Exhibit A to be received by Lender not later than 12:00 p.m. (Toronto time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date if the Revolving Credit Advances are to be converted into or continued as Revolving Credit Advances based upon Adjusted Term XXXXX and at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date if the Revolving Credit Advances are to be converted into or continued as Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate and otherwise by 12:00 p.m. on the Continuation/Conversion Date if the Revolving Credit Advances are to be converted into Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBP or RBUSBR.

(d) During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, Borrowers may not elect to have a Revolving Credit Advance converted or continued and Revolving Credit Advances during such period shall be based upon RBP or RBUSBR, as applicable.

(e) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Revolving Credit Advances, there may not be more than five (5) different Interest Periods in effect hereunder unless consented to by Xxxxxx.

1.7 Cash Management System

On or prior to the Closing Date and until the Termination Date, Borrowers will establish and maintain the cash management system described in Schedule D. All payments in respect of the Collateral shall be made to or deposited in the Blocked Accounts described in Schedule D in accordance with the terms thereof.

1.8 Fees

- 7 -

Each Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the Fees set forth in Schedule E.

1.9 Receipt of Payments; Taxes

Each Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement (not otherwise made pursuant to Section 1.10) without set-off, counterclaim or deduction and free and clear of all Taxes on the day when due in lawful money of Canada in immediately available funds to the Blocked Accounts, except as required by applicable law. If any Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any payment to Lender under any Loan Document, then the amount payable to Lender shall be increased so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings, Lender receives an amount equal to that which it would have received had no such deductions and withholdings been made. In addition but without duplication, each Credit Party shall jointly and severally indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for any Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable pursuant to this sentence) paid or payable by Lender in respect of any amount paid by Borrower under this Agreement, together with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses with respect thereto. For purposes of computing interest, Fees and determining Net Borrowing Availability, all payments shall be deemed received by Lender one (1) Business Day following receipt of immediately available funds in the Blocked Accounts.

1.10 Application and Allocation of Payments

Each Borrower irrevocably agrees that Xxxxxx shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any and all payments against the then due and payable Obligations in such order as Lender may deem advisable. Lender is authorized to, and at its option may (without prior notice or precondition and at any time or times), but shall not be obligated to, make or cause to be made Revolving Credit Advances on behalf of either Borrower, for: (a) payment of all Fees, expenses, indemnities, charges, costs, principal, interest, or other Obligations owing by such Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) the payment, performance or satisfaction of any of such Borrower’s obligations with respect to preservation of the Collateral; or (c) any premium in whole or in part required in respect of any of the policies of insurance required by this Agreement, even if the making of any such Revolving Credit Advance causes the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loan to exceed the Borrowing Availability, and Borrower agrees to repay immediately, in cash, any amount by which the Revolving Credit Loan exceeds the Borrowing Availability.

1.11 Accounting

Xxxxxx is authorized to record on its books and records the date and amount of each Loan and each payment of principal thereof and such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded, absent manifest error. Lender shall provide Borrower on a monthly basis a statement and accounting of such recordations but any failure on the part of Lender to keep any such recordation (or any errors therein) or to send a statement thereof to Borrowers shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrowers to repay any of the Obligations. Except to the extent that a Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after such statement and accounting is sent, notify Lender in writing of any objection Borrowers may have thereto (stating with particularity the basis for such objection), such statement and accounting shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers, absent manifest error.

1.12 Indemnity

Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Lender and its Affiliates, and their respective employees, officers, directors, professional advisors and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including legal fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defence, including those incurred upon

- 8 -

any appeal) which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, including any and all product liabilities, Environmental Liabilities, Taxes and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with any dispute between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”), except to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

1.13 Borrowing Base; Reserves

The Borrowing Base shall be determined by Lender (including the eligibility of Accounts and Inventory) based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Lender in accordance with Section 4.1(a) and such other information available to Lender. The Revolving Credit Loan shall be subject to Xxxxxx’s continuing right to withhold from Borrowing Availability reserves, and to increase and decrease such reserves from time to time, if and to the extent that in Lender’s good faith credit judgment such reserves are necessary, including to protect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or to protect Lender against possible non-payment of Accounts for any reason by Account Debtors or possible diminution of the value of any Collateral or possible non-payment of any of the Obligations or for any Taxes or in respect of any state of facts which could constitute a Default. Lender may, at its option, implement reserves by designating as ineligible a sufficient amount of Accounts or Inventory which would otherwise be Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, as the case may be, so as to reduce the Borrowing Base by the amount of the intended reserves.

1.14 Funding Losses

Each Borrower shall jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of any Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal on any Revolving Credit Advance made based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term XXXXX;

(b) the failure of any Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Revolving Credit Advance after Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation/Conversion, as the case may be; or

(c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof but excluding prepayment mandated by the provisions of Section 8.14(b)) of any Revolving Credit Advance made based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term XXXXX on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

including any such loss of anticipated profit and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Revolving Credit Advances made based upon the Term

- 9 -

SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term XXXXX or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrowers shall also pay any customary and reasonable administrative fees charged by Lender in connection with the foregoing.

1.15 Inability to Determine Rates

If Lender determines, which determination is final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers, that,

(a) for any reason, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Term XXXXX or the Term SOFR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Revolving Credit Advance made based upon Adjusted Term XXXXX or the Term SOFR Rate (including, without limitation, because such rate is not available from or published on a current basis by the services used by the Lender to obtain such rate), or

(b) that Adjusted Term XXXXX or the Term SOFR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Revolving Credit Advance made based upon Adjusted Term XXXXX or the Term SOFR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the effective cost to Lender of funding such Revolving Credit Advance or the costs to the Lender are increased or the income receivable by the Lender is reduced in respect of Revolving Credit Advance,

then Xxxxxx will promptly so notify Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of Lender to make or maintain Revolving Credit Advances made based upon Adjusted Term XXXXX or the Term SOFR Rate, as applicable, hereunder shall be suspended until Lender revokes such notice in writing, and the Lender may request that an existing Term SOFR Loan be converted to a RBUSBR based loan or an existing Term XXXXX Loan be covered to a RBP based loan and any such loans will in any event automatically be converted on the expiry of the then current Interest Period. Borrowers may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation/Conversion then submitted by it. If Borrowers do not revoke such notice, Lender shall make the Revolving Credit Advance, as proposed by Borrowers, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by Borrowers, but such Revolving Credit Advance shall be made as a RBUSBR based loan instead of a Term SOFR Loan or a RBP based loan instead of a Term XXXXX Loan, as the case may be.

1.16 Benchmark Replacement Setting

(a) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Lender may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto) time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date such proposed amendment is provided to the Borrower without any action or consent of the Borrower. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) No Fx Facility documentation shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will

- 10 -

become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Subsection (d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section 1.16, 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 sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan 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 the 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 Lender in its reasonable discretion, or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of this 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, then the Lender may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) 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 International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Lender may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time, to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) 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 Revolving Credit Advance made based upon the Term SOFR Rate, conversion to or rollover of a Revolving Credit Advance made based upon the Term SOFR Rate to be made, converted or rolled over during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for, or a conversion to, a Loan based on RBUSBR, as applicable.

(f) Definitions.

(ii) “Benchmark” means, initially, Adjusted Term SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to Adjusted Term SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 1.16(a).

(iii) “Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the sum of:

(A) the alternative benchmark rate that has been selected by the Lender and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a benchmark rate or mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body, and (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Canadian dollar denominated bilateral credit facilities in Canada at such time; and

(B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(iv) “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment" means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected by the Lender and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body, or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Canadian dollar-denominated bilateral credit facilities in Canada at such time.

(v) “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to either the use or adoption of Term SOFR Rate or the use, adoption, administration or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “RBUSBR”, “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period” or any similar or analogous definition, timing

- 12 -

and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or rollover notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such rate or to permit the administration thereof by the Lender in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Lender decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Lender determines that no market practice for the administration of such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Lender decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

(vi) "Benchmark Replacement Date" means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(A) In the case of Clause (A) or Clause (B) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event", the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein, and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

For the avoidance of doubt, the "Benchmark Replacement Date" will be deemed to have occurred in the case of Clause (A) or Clause (B) of this definition with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

(vii) “Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

(A) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

- 13 -

(C) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Association of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

(viii) "Benchmark Transition Start Date" means, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date, and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of the date of such public statement or publication of information (or, if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

(ix) "Benchmark Unavailability Period" means, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 1.16, and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 1.16.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Canadian Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Canadian Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Canadian Benchmark is a term rate (including Term XXXXX) and either (A) any tenor for such Canadian Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Canadian Benchmark has

3.9 Taxes; Charges

- 20 -

Except as disclosed on Disclosure Schedule (3.9), all tax returns, reports and statements required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by each Borrower or any other Credit Party have, as of the Closing Date, been filed and will, until the Termination Date, be filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and no tax Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) has been filed against any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s property.

No Pension Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. The aggregate amount of all normal contributions (as such term is defined for the purpose of the BIA) accruing due but not paid or remitted, all amounts withheld from employees and not paid or remitted and other amounts which might give rise to a Lien giving any priority under the BIA shall never exceed the Minimum Actionable Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that Lender determines that any Lien associated with any Pension Event could reasonably be expected to have priority to any Lien established by Lender, a reserve will immediately be established in an amount that Lender deems necessary in its sole and absolute discretion (it being understood that such amount may equal the amount of the obligation secured by such Lien), and to the extent that after the establishment of such reserve the Revolving Credit Loans exceed Borrowing Availability and such overadvance is not cured within two (2) days, it shall be an immediate Event of Default. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than the Minimum Actionable Amount the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent Financial Statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than the Minimum Actionable Amount, the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

Each Credit Party will maintain the patenting and registration of all Intellectual Property owned by it with the appropriate Governmental Authority and each Credit Party will promptly apply to patent or register, as the case may be, all new Intellectual Property developed by it and notify Lender in writing five (5) Business Days after filing any such new patent or registration provided that in each case the patenting or registration of such Intellectual Property is commercially reasonable or necessary and the failure to patent or register could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

No information contained in any Loan Document, the Financial Statements or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party under any Loan Document, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.

Section 6 – SECURITY INTEREST

6.1 Grant of Security Interest

(a) As collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, hypothec on and Lien upon all of its personal property and assets, tangible or intangible, and whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or in which it now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title, or interest,

- 28 -

including all of the following property in which it now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest: all Accounts; all bank and deposit accounts and all funds on deposit therein; all cash and cash equivalents; all commodity contracts (including all Commodity Contracts (as such term is defined in the UCC)); all investments, Shares and Investment Property; all Inventory and Equipment; all Goods; all Commercial Tort Claims (as such term is defined in the UCC), all Chattel Paper, Documents and Instruments; all Books and Records; all Intangibles; and to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of all and any of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing, but excluding in all events Hazardous Waste (all of the foregoing, together with any other collateral pledged to Lender or in respect of which Lender may acquire any Lien pursuant to each other Loan Document, collectively, the “Collateral”).

(b) The security in the Collateral shall not extend or apply to consumer goods.

(c) With respect to the US Borrower, the security in the Collateral shall not extend to consumer goods or Excluded Property as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement.

(d) The security in the Collateral shall not extend or apply to the last day of the term of any lease or sublease or any agreement for a lease or sublease, now held or hereafter acquired by the Borrowers in respect of real property, but the Borrowers shall stand possessed of any such last day upon trust to assign and dispose of it as the Lender may direct.

(e) Nothing in this Section shall constitute an assignment or attempted assignment of any license, permit, contract or other agreement which by its provisions or by applicable law is not assignable, which would result in the termination of or a breach under such contract, or which requires the consent of a third party to its assignment unless such consent has been obtained. With respect to any contract which the Lender reasonably determines to be material, the applicable Borrower shall promptly, upon written request by the Lender, attempt to obtain the consent of any necessary third party to its assignment under this Agreement. Upon such consent being obtained or waived, this Section shall apply to the applicable contract without the necessity of any further assurance to effect such assignment. Unless and until such consent to assignment is obtained, such Borrower shall hold all benefit to be derived from such contract in trust for the Lender as additional security for payment of the Obligations and shall deliver up all such benefit to the Lender promptly upon demand by the Lender.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the security granted hereunder with respect to trademarks constitutes a security interest in, and charge, hypothecation and pledge of such collateral but does not constitute an assignment of such collateral to the Lender and, notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the collateral shall not include any intent-to-use trademark application prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark application under applicable law.

(g) Each Borrower, Lender and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement agree that this Agreement creates, and is intended to create, valid and continuing Liens upon the Collateral in favour of Lender. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement represents, warrants and promises to Lender that: (i) each Borrower and each other Credit Party granting a Lien in Collateral is the sole owner of, or otherwise has a valid property interest in, each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to xxxxx x Xxxx pursuant to the Loan Documents, and has good and marketable title thereto free and clear

- 29 -

of any and all Liens of others, other than Permitted Encumbrances; (ii) the security interests, hypothecs and Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Loan Documents, upon completion of the filings and other actions listed on Disclosure Schedule (6.1) (which, in the case of all filings, registrations, publications and other documents referred to in said Disclosure Schedule, have been delivered to Lender in duly executed form, where applicable) will constitute valid perfected security interests and Liens in all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing or taking such other actions pursuant to the PPSA or the UCC as applicable in favour of Lender as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Credit Party (other than purchasers of Inventory in the ordinary course of business) and such security interests and Liens are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Permitted Encumbrances which have priority by operation of law or which are permitted to be prior pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) no effective security agreement, financing statement, deed of hypothec, equivalent security or Lien covering, charging or hypothecating all or any part of the Collateral is or will be on file or of record in any public office, except those relating to Permitted Encumbrances. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement promise to defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever (other than Persons holding Permitted Encumbrances on such Collateral that have priority over the Lender's Lien), and each shall take such actions, including: (x) upon Lender's request, the prompt delivery of all original Instruments, Chattel Paper and certificated Shares owned by each Borrower and each other Credit Party granting a Lien on Collateral to Lender; (y) notification of Lender’s interest in Collateral at Lender’s request; and (z) the institution of Litigation against third parties as shall be reasonable and prudent in order to protect and preserve each Credit Party’s and Xxxxxx’s respective and several interests in the Collateral. Upon Lender’s request, each Borrower (and any other Credit Party granting a Lien on Collateral) shall mark its Books and Records pertaining to the Collateral to evidence the Loan Documents and the Liens granted under the Loan Documents. Upon Xxxxxx’s request, all Chattel Paper shall be marked with the following legend: “This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of Royal Bank of Canada”.

6.2 Lender’s Rights

(a) (i) upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall cooperate with the Lender to (or subsequent to an Event of Default Lender may at any time in Lender’s own name or in the name of either Borrower), communicate with Account Debtors, parties to Contracts, and obligors in respect of Instruments, Chattel Paper or other Collateral to verify to Lender’s satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of any such Accounts, Contracts, Instruments or Chattel Paper or other Collateral; and (ii) Lender may subsequent to an Event of Default, notify Account Debtors, parties to Contracts, and obligors in respect of Chattel Paper, Instruments, or other Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to or is subject to Liens in favour of Lender and that payments shall be made directly to Lender.

Upon an Event of Default, each Borrower hereby constitutes Lender or Xxxxxx’s designee as such Xxxxxxxx’s legal attorney, agent and mandatary with power to endorse such Xxxxxxxx’s name upon any notes, acceptance drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral.

(b) Each Borrower shall remain liable under each Contract, Instrument and License to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, and Lender shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever to any Person under

(c) Each Borrower and each other Credit Party shall, with respect to each owned, leased, or controlled real property, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no notice shall be required and Lender shall have access at any and all times subject to any limitations imposed upon the Borrower by any landlord of such real property) and without disruption to ordinary business operations: (i) provide access to such property to Lender and any of its officers, employees and agents, as frequently as Lender determines to be appropriate; (ii) permit Lender and any of its officers, employees and agents to inspect, audit and make extracts and copies (or take originals if reasonably necessary) from all of Borrowers’ and such Credit Party’s Books and Records; and (iii) permit Lender to inspect, review, verify, evaluate and make physical verifications and appraisals of the Inventory and other Collateral in any manner and through any medium that Xxxxxx considers advisable (a “Field Examination”), and Borrowers and such Credit Party agree to render to Lender, at Borrowers’ and such Credit Party’s cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall be entitled to conduct one (1) Field Examination and one (1) inventory appraisal per year, provided that, (A) if at any time a Net Borrowing Availability has been less than $6,250,000 for five (5) consecutive Business Days during such 12-month period, one (1) additional Field Examination and one (1) additional inventory appraisal will be permitted in such 12-month period, and (B) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may do any of the foregoing at any time and as many times in any year during normal business hours and without advance notice, including, without limitation, additional Field Examinations and Inventory appraisals. The Credit Parties shall be responsible for the reasonable, documented costs and out of pocket expenses of all such visits, Field Examinations, inventory appraisals and audits, including without limitation, the Field Examination Fees.

(d) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Borrower, at its own expense, shall use reasonable commercial efforts to cause its auditors or any appraiser selected by Lender to deliver to Lender the results of any physical verifications of all or any portion of the Inventory made or observed by such auditors or appraisers when and if such verification is conducted. Lender shall be permitted to observe and consult with Xxxxxxxx’s accountants or appraisers in the performance of these tasks.

6.3 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property Collateral

Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby grants to Lender an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Borrower or such Credit Party) to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned, licensed to, or hereafter acquired by such Borrower or such Credit Party, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and represents, promises and agrees

- 31 -

that any such license or sublicense is not and will not be in conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, that such license will terminate on the Termination Date.

7.2 Remedies

(a) If any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender may terminate or suspend its obligation to make further Revolving Credit Advances and to incur additional Letter of Credit or other Obligations. In addition, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may, without notice, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) declare all or any portion of the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, including contingent liabilities with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations, whereupon such Obligations shall become and be due and payable; (ii) require that all Letter of Credit Obligations be fully cash collateralized pursuant to Schedule C; or (iii) exercise any rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the PPSA or the UCC; provided, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 7.1(f), 7.1(g) or 7.1(h), the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable (and any obligation of Lender to make further Loans, if not previously terminated, shall immediately be terminated) without declaration, notice or demand by Xxxxxx.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement expressly agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale, to the extent permitted by law, to purchase for the benefit of Lender the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, which upon consummation of such purchase will be free of any right of equity of redemption, which right the Borrowers and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned, or continued from time to time with or without notice. Lender shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Credit Party’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Credit

- 34 -

Party’s premises without rent or other charge for such sales or other action with respect to the Collateral for such time as Lender deems necessary or advisable.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at Xxxxxx’s request, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement further agrees, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at its premises or elsewhere. Until Lender is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, Lender shall have the right to complete, assemble, use or operate the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent that Lender deems appropriate, for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or its value or for any other purpose. Lender shall have no obligation to any Credit Party to maintain or preserve the rights of any Credit Party as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Lender. Xxxxxx xxx, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or receiver manager to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Xxxxxx’s remedies with respect thereto without prior notice or hearing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives all claims, damages, and demands against Lender, its Affiliates, agents, and the officers and employees of any of them arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any Collateral except such as are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Person. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Lender to such Credit Party of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is entitled.

(d) Xxxxxx’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies which Lender may have under any Loan Document or at law or in equity. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required. All provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited, to the extent necessary, so that they do not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

7.3 Waivers by Credit Parties

Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives: (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonour, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Loan Documents, commercial paper, Accounts, Contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guarantees at any time held by Lender on which such Credit Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Xxxxxx’s taking possession or control of, or to Lender’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws. Each of Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby and any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

7.4 Proceeds

- 35 -

The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon any Collateral shall be applied by Lender upon receipt to the Obligations in such order as Lender may deem advisable in its sole discretion (including the cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit Obligations) and after the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Borrowers or their representatives or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Section 8 – MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede all prior agreements, commitments, understandings or inducements (oral or written, expressed or implied). No Loan Document may be modified, altered or amended except by a written agreement signed by Xxxxxx and each other Credit Party that is a party to such Loan Document. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall have all duties and obligations under this Agreement and such other Loan Documents from the date of its execution and delivery, regardless of whether the initial Loan has been funded at that time.

8.2 Expenses

Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay or reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all counsel, advisors, consultants (including environmental and management consultants), field examiners, appraisers and auditors retained in connection therewith), incurred in connection with: (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Loan Documents and the preservation of any rights thereunder; (b) collection, including deficiency collections; (c) the forwarding to any Borrower or any other Person on behalf of any Borrower by Lender of the proceeds of any Loan; (d) any amendment, waiver or other modification with respect to any Loan Document or advice in connection with the administration of the Loans or the rights thereunder; (e) any litigation, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or between any combination of Lender, a Borrower or any other Person), and an appeal or review thereof, in any way relating to the Collateral, any Loan Document, or any action taken or any other agreements to be executed or delivered in connection therewith, whether as a party, witness or otherwise; and (f) any effort to: (i) monitor the Loans (ii) evaluate, observe or assess any Borrower or any other Credit Party or the affairs of such Person; and (iii) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, each Borrower will jointly and severally reimburse Lender for the costs (including reasonable out of pocket expenses plus applicable taxes) related to the Lender’s due diligence including Field Examinations and the verification, evaluation, assessment and approval of Collateral.

8.3 No Waiver

Neither Lender’s failure, at any time, to require strict performance by any Borrower or any other Credit Party of any provision of any Loan Document, nor Xxxxxx’s failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof or waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any suspension or waiver of a Default or other provision under the Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default or other provision under any Loan Document, and shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. None of the undertakings, indemnities, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Borrower or any other Credit Party to Lender contained in any Loan Document and

no Default by a Borrower or any other Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer or other authorized employee of Lender and directed to any Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver (and then such waiver shall be effective only to the extent therein expressly set forth), and Lender shall not, by any act (other than execution of a formal written waiver), delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder.

8.4 Severability; Section Titles

Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of any Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of such Loan Document. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Loan Documents, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any financing arrangement under the Loan Documents shall in any way affect or impair the Obligations, duties, covenants, representations and warranties, indemnities, and liabilities of any Borrower or any other Credit Party or the rights of Lender relating to any unpaid Obligation (due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated), or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is not required until after the Commitment Termination Date, all of which shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that all indemnity obligations of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents shall survive the Termination Date. The Section titles contained in any Loan Document are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

8.5 Authorized Signature

Until Lender shall be notified in writing by a Borrower or any other Credit Party to the contrary, the signature upon any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto and believed by Lender or any of Lender’s officers, agents, or employees to be that of a Credit Party or of an officer of any Borrower or such other Credit Party shall bind such Borrower or such other Credit Party and be deemed to be the act of such Borrower or such other Credit Party affixed pursuant to and in accordance with resolutions duly adopted by such Xxxxxxxx’s or such other Credit Party’s board of directors, and Xxxxxx shall be entitled to assume the authority of each signature and authority of the person whose signature it is or appears to be unless the person acting in reliance thereon shall have actual knowledge to the contrary.

8.6 Notices

Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any notice, demand, request or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any party by any other party, or whenever any party desires to give or serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered: (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt (or refusal thereof) and three (3) Business Days after deposit in the mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid; (b) upon transmission, when sent by telecopy, e-mail or other similar facsimile or electronic transmission (with such telecopy, e-mail or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or mail as otherwise provided in this Section 8.6); (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid; or (d) when hand-delivered, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number indicated in Schedule B or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any such communication to any Person (other than a Borrower or Lender) designated in Schedule B to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such communication.

8.7 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile or other electronic format (including pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The words “execution”, “execute”, “executed”, “signed”, “signature” and words of like import in this Agreement or in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, in accordance with applicable law including, without limitation, as in provided Parts 2 and 3 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada), the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (Ontario), the Electronic Transactions Act (British Columbia), the Electronic Transactions Act (Alberta), or any other similar laws based on the Uniform Electronic Commerce Act of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada. The parties may, in their discretion, require that any such documents and signatures executed electronically or delivered by fax or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature executed electronically or delivered by fax or other electronic transmission.

8.8 Assignments

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Xxxxxx, the Credit Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, other legal representatives, successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any interest in this Agreement may be assigned by any Borrower or any other Credit Party without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may assign or transfer or grant participations in its rights or obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part at any time without notice to or consent of the Credit Parties.

Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement expressly submit and consent in advance to such jurisdiction in any

action or suit commenced in any such court, and such Borrower and such Credit Party hereby waive any objection which they may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby waive personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such action or suit and agree that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Borrower or such Credit Party at the address set forth in Schedule B of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such Borrower’s or such Credit Party’s actual receipt thereof (or refusal) or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the mail, proper postage prepaid.

(b) THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN LENDER, ANY BORROWER AND ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

8.12 Press Releases

Neither any Credit Party nor any of its Affiliates will in the future issue any press release or other public disclosure using the name of Royal Bank of Canada or its affiliates without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Lender and without the prior written consent of Lender unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will use reasonable commercial efforts to consult with Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. Each Credit Party consents to the publication (in the ordinary course) by Xxxxxx or Xxxxxx’s counsel of customary advertising material (including under league tables, tombstones and for advertising purposes) relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using such Credit Party’s name, product photographs, logos or trademarks. Such consent shall remain effective until revoked by such Credit Party in writing to Lender.

8.13 Reinstatement

This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or restored by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

8.14 Illegality

(a) In the event that Lender determines that, in consequence of any change in any Requirement of Law or any policy applicable to it that it is illegal, unlawful or prohibited for it to make or continue to make any Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, Bank Products, the RBC Lease Facility or any other Obligations hereunder, it shall have the right to immediately terminate such Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, Bank Products, the RBC Lease Facility or other Obligations as it shall determine necessary or appropriate and to terminate any commitment to make or continue to make such Loans, Letters of Credit Obligations, Bank Products, the RBC Lease Facility or other Obligations and/or to terminate its commitments hereunder and any of the Loan Documents as it shall determine necessary or appropriate.

(b) If Lender determines that it is unlawful to make, maintain or fund any Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term XXXXX, as applicable, each Borrower shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from Lender,

- 39 -

prepay in full such Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if Xxxxxx may lawfully continue to maintain such Revolving Credit Advances to such day, or immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Revolving Credit Advances. No payment shall be due under Section 1.14 upon prepayment of Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term XXXXX pursuant to or as a result of the circumstances described in the preceding sentence. If any Borrower is required to so prepay any Revolving Credit Advances based upon the Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term XXXXX, as applicable, then concurrently with such prepayment, such Borrower shall borrow from Lender, in the amount of such repayment, Revolving Credit Advances based upon RBUSBR or RBP, as applicable.

8.15 Set Off and Survival

Without limitation to any other rights or remedies of Lender, Lender shall have the right at all times without notice to the Credit Parties (which notice is hereby waived to the maximum extent permitted by law) to set off or apply against any Obligations now and hereafter owing (whether matured or contingent) any deposits at any time held by, or other indebtedness at any time owing by, Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of any Credit Party. All indemnities hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall survive any termination of the Loan Documents unless expressly released in writing.

8.16 Increased Costs

If, by reason of: (a) any adoption of, taking effect of, or change in any Requirement of Law (including any change by way of imposition or increase of statutory reserves or other reserve requirements) or the application, administration, implementation or interpretation thereof; or (b) the compliance with any rule, directive, guideline or request from any government authority or other Person exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law), including the (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, in each case regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued:

(i) Lender (or its applicable lending office) shall be subject to any Tax with respect to any Loan (including a Letter of Credit) or a change shall result in the basis of taxation of any payment to Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect to its obligation to make or continue any Loan or issue Letters of Credit or participate in Letter of Credit Obligations; or

(ii) any reserve (including any imposed by the board of governors or any other applicable Governmental Authority), special deposits, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender (or its applicable lending office) shall be imposed or deemed applicable, or any other condition, affecting Lender’s (or its applicable lending office’s) obligation to make any Loans or issue Letters of Credit, shall be imposed on Lender (or its applicable lending office);

and as a result there shall be an increase in the cost to Lender (or its applicable lending office) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Loans, Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligations (except to the extent already included in determination of the rate of interest), or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by Lender (or its applicable office), then Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such event, and each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to, within five (5) Business Days following demand therefor, pay Lender the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts.

- 40 -

In the event that Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any any government authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency (provided that for purposes of this Agreement, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking 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 have been adopted and become effective after the date hereof), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender or any corporation controlling Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Loans, Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligations (except to the extent already included in determination of the rate of interest) or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or issue Letters of Credit to a level below that which Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such event, and each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to, within five (5) Business Days following demand therefor, pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or such controlling corporation on an after‑tax basis for such reduction.

If Lender determines that, because of circumstances described above or any other circumstances arising hereafter affecting such Lender the Applicable Margin will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding Loans or incurring Letter of Credit Obligations or the cost to Lender of issuing Letters of Credit, then (A) Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such event; and (B) Lender’s obligation to fund Loans and issue Letters of Credit, shall be immediately suspended, until each condition giving rise to such suspension no longer exists.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower shall only be required to compensate Lender in respect of any such increased costs or reduction in the amount received or receivable by Lender to the extent any Borrower has received a written request for such compensation within ninety (90) days after Lender has received actual notice of the occurrence of the relevant circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reduction in the amount received or receivable by Xxxxxx.

8.17 Conflict

If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with and is incapable of being construed together with any other Loan Document, then the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail to the extent necessary to remove such conflict. If there is a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or event of default contained in any Loan Document which is not contained herein, or vice versa, such additional provision shall not constitute a conflict.

Section 9 – SPECIAL PROVISIONS

9.1 Interest Act (Canada)

For the purposes of this Agreement, whenever interest or a fee to be paid hereunder is to be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days, as in the case of all Revolving Credit Advances in U.S.$ made based upon the Term SOFR Rate, or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest or the yearly fee to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which

- 41 -

the same is to be ascertained and divided by either three hundred and sixty (360) or such other period of time, as the case may be. Each Credit Party confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to Loans under this Agreement based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Loan Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to such Credit Party as required pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada).

9.2 Excess Resulting from Exchange Rate Change

If at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar (a) the Obligations exceed any limitations hereunder or (b) any part of the Obligations exceeds any limit set forth herein for such Obligations, each Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, immediately: (i) make the necessary payments or repayments to reduce such Obligations to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess; or (ii) maintain or cause to be maintained with Lender deposits in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in such form and upon such terms as are acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, Lender shall, weekly or more frequently in Xxxxxx’s sole discretion, make the necessary exchange rate calculations (based upon the rate of exchange established by Xxxxxx as at noon on the date of determination) to determine whether any such excess exists on such date.

9.3 Judgment Currency

If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, Lender could purchase in the Toronto foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Borrower agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date Lender receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the Toronto foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each Borrower jointly and severally agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify Lender against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section means the spot rate at which Lender, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

9.4 USA Patriot Act

Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the parties hereto and other information that will allow Lender to identify all parties in accordance with said Act. The Credit Party shall promptly provide such information upon request by Xxxxxx.

9.5 Calculations

All references in the Loan Documents to Loans, Letters of Credit, Obligations, Borrowing Base components and other amounts shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars, unless expressly provided otherwise. The

- 42 -

Canadian Dollars equivalent of any amounts denominated or reported under a Loan Document in a currency other than Canadian Dollars shall be determined by Lender on a daily basis, based on its rate of exchange as determined on the date of determination. The Credit Parties shall report value and other Borrowing Base components to Lender in the currency invoiced by Borrowers or shown in Borrowers’ financial records, and unless expressly provided otherwise, shall deliver Financial Statements and calculate financial covenants in Canadian Dollars. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Obligation is funded and expressly denominated in a currency other than Canadian Dollars, Borrowers shall repay such Obligation in such other currency.

9.6 Language

The parties hereto confirm that it is their wish that this Agreement and any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated herein be drawn up in the English language only (except if another language is required under any Applicable Law) and that all other documents contemplated thereunder or relating thereto, including notices, may also be drawn up in the English language only. Each party hereto hereby confirms that it was represented by legal counsel and has had the opportunity to negotiate the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, including the essential stipulations thereof, with the assistance of its legal counsel. Les parties aux présentes confirment que c’est leur volonté que cette convention et les autres documents de crédit soient rédigés en langue anglaise seulement et que tous les documents, y compris tous avis, envisagés par cette convention et les autres documents peuvent être rédigés en langue anglaise seulement (sauf si une autre langue est requise en vertu d’une loi applicable).
