Guarantee granted by it guarantees and continues to guarantee payment and performance of the Obligations and Other Guaranteed Obligations (in each case as defined herein) of each Borrower, (b) any other Security granted by it pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement secures and continues to secure payment and performance of its Obligations and the Other Guaranteed Obligations, as applicable, (c) each reference to “Guarantee” or “Guaranty” in the Security or other Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to the guarantees delivered under the Existing Credit Agreement and in addition thereto, any guarantees delivered under this Agreement, (d) any reference to “Lenders” in the Security or other Loan Documents shall mean and be a reference to “Lenders” as defined herein, and (e) any reference to the Existing Credit Agreement in the Security or other Loan Document delivered pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be a reference to this Agreement and the Security and other Loan Documents are hereby amended to that effect.

1.6 Contractual Recognition of Bail-In

Less than BBB/Baa2			0.200	%			1.500	%			0.500	%			1.500	%

- 28 -

All figures in the table above represent percent per annum. Each of the amounts specified above, except the Standby Fee, shall be increased by 2% per annum if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If an Event of Default is disclosed by a Compliance Certificate, any increase shall be applied beginning as of the end of the fiscal period to which the Compliance Certificate relates.

(2) Any increase or decrease in the interest rates and fees resulting from a change in the Relevant Rating shall be effective on the day that the Relevant Rating changes. WMI shall immediately notify the Agent of any change in the Relevant Rating, or in the rating of S&P or Xxxxx’x composing the Relevant Rating.

(3) Interest shall accrue and be payable on Prime Rate Advances and Base Rate Advances at the Prime Rate or the Base Rate, respectively, plus the relevant figure shown under “Prime Rate and Base Rate Advances” in the table in Section 2.5(1). Interest shall accrue and be payable on LIBOR Advances at LIBOR plus the relevant figure shown under “LIBOR Advances” in that table. The rate for calculation of B/A Fees and L/C Fees shall be the relevant figure shown under “B/A Fees” and “L/C Fees”, respectively, in that table. In addition, a fronting fee at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the amount of each L/C shall be payable to the Issuing Bank for its own account unless The Bank of Nova Scotia is the only Revolving Lender, in which case no such fronting fee shall be payable.

(4) The Borrowers shall pay interest and fees at the applicable rate specified in Section 2.5(1) to the Agent at the Branch of Account on Advances outstanding from time to time, except that the B/A Fee for any B/A shall be paid by each Lender deducting the B/A Fee from the proceeds of the B/A remitted to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.10(4). The Borrowers shall pay interest on Prime Rate Advances and Base Rate Advances on the 22nd day of each month. The Borrowers shall pay interest on each LIBOR Advance on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period and, if the LIBOR Period is longer than three months, every three months after the date of the relevant LIBOR Advance. The Borrowers shall pay L/C Fees and the fronting fee applicable to L/Cs quarterly in arrears on the third Business Day after the end of each calendar quarter.

(5) The Agent shall distribute interest and fees for the Revolving Credit (other than the Swing Line Tranche) to the Revolving Lenders based on their respective Applicable Percentages, except that the fronting fee for L/Cs shall be paid to the Issuing Bank for its own account. Interest for the Swing Line Tranche shall be paid to the Swing Line Lender for its own account. The Agent shall distribute interest and fees for the Term Credit to the Term Lenders based on their respective Applicable Percentages.

2.6 Standby Fee

The Borrowers shall pay a standby fee (the “Standby Fee”) on the daily unadvanced portion of the Revolving Credit at a rate that shall be adjusted based on the Relevant Rating and that shall be as specified under “Standby Fee” in the table in Section 2.5(1). The Standby Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the third Business Day after the end of each quarter, with the first payment to be made on the third Business Day after the end of the first quarter following the Closing Date. On termination of all Commitments under the Revolving Credit, the Borrowers shall also pay any accrued but unpaid Standby Fees.

2.7 Agency, Assignment and Other Fees

The Borrowers shall, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, pay the non-refundable upfront and other fees to the Agent in accordance with the Fee Letter. The Borrowers shall also pay agency and other fees to the Agent from time to time in accordance with the Fee Letter.

2.8 Exchange Rate Fluctuations

If fluctuations in rates of exchange in effect between US Dollars and Canadian Dollars cause the amount of Advances (expressed in Canadian Dollars) under a Credit to exceed the maximum amount of that Credit permitted in this Agreement by five (5%) percent or more for a period of five (5) consecutive Business Days, the Borrowers shall promptly pay the Lenders the amount by which the maximum amount of that Credit is exceeded. If, on the date of any Advance under a Credit (whether by rollover, renewal, conversion or otherwise), the amount of Advances (expressed in Canadian Dollars) under that Credit exceeds the maximum amount of that Credit because of fluctuations in rates of exchange, the Borrowers shall promptly pay the Lenders the excess and shall not be entitled to any Advance that would result in the amount of that Credit being exceeded.

2.9 No Set-Off etc.

The obligations of the Borrowers to make payments under this Agreement shall be unconditional and such payments by the Borrowers shall be made strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, without any claim, set-off, defence or other right which the Borrowers or either one of them may have at any time against the Agent, a Lender or any other Person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.

Under each Employee Benefit Plan which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(1) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, no benefits are due unless the event giving rise to the benefit entitlement occurs prior to plan termination (except as required by Title 1, Part 6 of ERISA). WMI or an ERISA Affiliate, as appropriate, may terminate each such employee welfare benefit plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of WMI or such ERISA Affiliate without material liability to any Person.

(c) Guaranteed Pension Plans. Each contribution required to be made to a Guaranteed Pension Plan, whether required to be made to avoid a violation of the minimum funding standards under §§412 and 430 of the Code, the notice or lien provisions of §303(k) of ERISA, or otherwise, has been timely made. No waiver of the minimum funding standards under §§412 and 430 of the Code or extension of amortization periods has been received with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan. No liability to the PBGC (other than required insurance premiums, all of which have been paid) has been incurred by any Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan (other than Terminated Plans) and there has not been any ERISA Reportable Event, or any other event or condition which presents a material risk of termination of any Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC. Other than with respect to the Terminated Plans, based on the latest valuation of each Guaranteed Pension Plan (which in each case occurred within twelve months of the date of this representation), and on the actuarial methods and assumptions employed for that valuation, each Guaranteed Pension Plan is in compliance with the minimum funding standards as set forth in §302 of ERISA and is not subject to any restrictions concerning (i) providing shutdown or similar benefits, (ii) amendments to increase benefits, (iii) paying lump sums or (iv) continuing to accrue benefits, as described by the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

Neither any Obligor nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of §4241 or §4245 of ERISA or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under §4041A of ERISA.

- 49 -

evidencing or securing any Debt or obligations under Swap Contracts in an aggregate amount greater than U.S. $75,000,000 for such period of time as would permit, or would have permitted (assuming the giving of appropriate notice if required) the holder or holders thereof or of any obligations issued thereunder to accelerate the maturity thereof or terminate its commitment with respect thereto; or

(g) any Obligor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay or generally fails to pay its debts as they mature or become due, or petitions or applies for the appointment of a trustee or other custodian, liquidator or receiver of any Obligor, or of any substantial part of the assets of any Obligor or commences any case or other proceeding relating to any Obligor under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, or takes any action to authorize or in furtherance of any of the foregoing, or if any such petition or application is filed or any such case or other proceeding is commenced against any Obligor or any Obligor indicates its approval thereof, consent thereto or acquiescence therein; or

(m) either of the Borrowers ceases to be directly or indirectly wholly-owned by WMI; or

(n) the occurrence of any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the U.S. Credit Agreement as at the date of this Agreement) under the U.S. Credit Agreement whether or not waived by the lenders thereunder.

7.2 Acceleration and Termination of Rights

(1) If any Event of Default occurs, the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make Advances and the Required Lenders may instruct the Agent to give notice to the Borrowers (a) declaring the Lenders’ obligations to make Advances to be terminated, in which case they shall terminate immediately, and/or (b) declaring the Obligations or any of them to be due and payable, in which case they shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrowers.

(2) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if any Obligor becomes a bankrupt (voluntarily or involuntarily), or institutes any proceeding seeking liquidation, dissolution, arrangement, winding-up, relief of debtors or from creditors or the appointment of a receiver or trustee over any material part of its property or analogous proceeding in any jurisdiction, then without prejudice to the other rights of the Lenders as a result of any such event, without any notice or action of any kind by the Agent or any Lender, and without presentment, demand or protest, the Lenders’ obligation to make Advances shall immediately terminate, the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable and the Borrowers shall be obligated to deposit forthwith with the Agent for the Lenders’ benefit Collateral equal to the full face amount at maturity of all L/Cs and B/As then outstanding for its account

- 51 -

7.3 Payment of L/Cs and B/As

(1) Immediately on any Obligations becoming due and payable under Section 7.2, the Borrowers shall, without necessity of further act or evidence, be unconditionally obligated to immediately deposit with the Agent for the Lenders’ benefit Cash Collateral equal to the full face amount of all L/Cs and B/As then outstanding for its account and the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise and agree to do so. The amounts required to be deposited as Cash Collateral form part of the Obligations. Each of the Borrowers authorizes the Lenders, or any of them, to debit its accounts with the amount required to pay outstanding L/Cs, and to pay outstanding B/As including any that are held by the Lenders, or any of them, in their own right at maturity. Amounts paid to the Agent in respect of B/As and L/Cs shall be applied against, and shall reduce, pro rata among the Lenders, to the extent of the amounts paid to the Agent in respect of B/As and L/Cs, respectively, the obligations of the Borrowers to pay amounts then or subsequently payable under B/As and L/Cs, respectively, at the times amounts become payable thereunder.

(2) The Borrowers shall be entitled to receive interest on cash held as Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 9.5(9).

7.4 Remedies

On the occurrence of any event by which any of the Obligations become due and payable under Section 7.2, the Security shall become immediately enforceable and the Required Lenders may instruct the Agent to take any action or proceedings on behalf of the Lenders and in compliance with applicable Requirements of Law that the Required Lenders in their sole discretion deem expedient to enforce the Security, all without any additional notice, presentment, demand, protest or other formality, all of which are expressly waived by the Obligors.

7.5 Interest After Stay of Proceedings

If a stay of proceedings is obtained or ordered in respect of either of the Borrowers under the provisions of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), then without prejudice to the Lenders’ rights to contest the stay, the Borrowers agree to continue to pay interest and fees on all amounts due to the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement. Each of the Borrowers acknowledge that permitting the Borrowers to continue to use the proceeds of Advances after a stay is obtained or ordered constitutes valuable consideration in the same way that permitting the Borrowers to use leased premises constitutes valuable consideration.

7.6 Saving

Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to the Obligors or any other Person to realize any collateral that is subject to the Security or enforce all or any part of the Security or to allow any of the collateral to be sold, dealt with or otherwise disposed of. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible or liable to the Obligors or any other Person for any loss or damage upon the realization or enforcement

- 52 -

of, the failure to realize or enforce the Security or any part of it, the failure to allow any of the collateral to be sold, dealt with or otherwise disposed of or any act or omission on their respective parts or on the part of any director, officer, agent, servant or adviser in connection with any of the foregoing, except that the Agent or a Lender may be responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from its wilful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment.

7.7 Perform Obligations

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if any Obligor has failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements in the Loan Documents, the Required Lenders may, but shall be under no obligation to, instruct the Agent on behalf of the Lenders to perform any of those covenants or agreements in any manner deemed fit by the Required Lenders without waiving any rights to enforce the Loan Documents as a result. The reasonable expenses (including any legal costs) paid by the Agent and/or the Lenders in respect of the foregoing shall be secured by the Security.

7.8 Third Parties

No Person dealing with any Lender, the Agent or any agent of the Lenders is required to determine (a) whether the Security has become enforceable, the powers that the Lenders, the Agent or their agents are purporting to exercise have become exercisable, or any Obligations remain outstanding, (b) as to the necessity or expediency of the stipulations and conditions subject to which any sale shall be made, (c) otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of any sale or other disposition or any other dealing with any collateral, or (d) how any payment to the Lenders or the Agent has been or will be applied.

7.9 Remedies Cumulative

The rights and remedies of the Lenders under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law. Any single or partial exercise by the Lenders of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any agreement, term, covenant or condition in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of or to alter, affect, or prejudice any other right or remedy or other rights or remedies to which the Lenders may be lawfully entitled for the same default or breach. Any waiver by the Lenders of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any agreement, term, covenant or condition in this Agreement and any indulgence granted by the Lenders shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any subsequent default.

7.10 Set-Off or Compensation

During the continuance of an Event of Default, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any Lender to any Borrower and any securities or other property of any Borrower in the possession of such Lender may be applied to or set-off against the payment of the Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrowers to the Lenders or the Agent.

- 53 -

7.11 Direct Payments

(1) If any Lender, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains any payment or other reduction that might result in that Lender receiving payment or other reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest on them or other Obligations and Other Guaranteed Obligations greater than its pro rata share of them as provided in this Agreement, then the Lender receiving the payment or other reduction shall (a) notify the Agent of that fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and other Obligations and Other Guaranteed Obligations owing to the other Lenders, or make other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all those payments shall be shared by the Lenders and others to whom Other Guaranteed Obligations are owed rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations and Other Guaranteed Obligations owing to them, provided that:

(a) if any participation is purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise to it is recovered, the participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of the recovery, without interest,

(b) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by any Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to any Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply); and

(c) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment (including a payment in respect of Other Guaranteed Obligations) made while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of obligations of the Borrowers to a Lender that do not arise under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (ii) any payment made in respect of an obligation that is secured by a Permitted Lien (other than the Security) or that is otherwise entitled to priority over the Borrowers’ obligations under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (iii) any reduction arising from an amount owing to an Obligor upon the termination of Derivatives entered into between the Obligor and a Lender except for a net amount available after the termination of all Derivatives entered into between the Obligors and that Lender and the set-off of resulting amounts owing by the Obligors and to the Obligors, or (iv) any payment to which a Lender is entitled as a result of any form of credit protection obtained by that Lender.

(2) The Obligors consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Obligor rights of set-off and counterclaim and similar rights of Lenders with respect to that participation as fully as if the Lender were a direct creditor of each Obligor in the amount of the participation.

(2) Without limiting section 8.1(1), each Lender grants to the Agent:

(a) a power of attorney for the purposes of Applicable Laws in respect of the Security, to sign documents comprising the Security from time to time as the party accepting the grant of the Security; and

(b) the right to delegate its authority as attorney to any other Person, whether or not an officer or employee of the Agent.

8.2 Rights as a Lender

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

8.3 Exculpatory Provisions

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

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

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

(c) shall not, except as expressly specified in the Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

- 55 -

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

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

- 56 -

8.5 Delegation of Duties

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

(a) amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the terms of the Security;

(b) amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the terms of this Agreement or the Security if such amendment, modification, discharge, termination or waiver would increase the amount of the Credit, amend the purpose of the Credit, reduce the interest rates and similar charges applicable to the Credit, reduce the fees payable with respect to the Credit, extend any date fixed for payment of principal, interest or any other amount relating to the Credit or extend the term of the Credit;

(c) waive payment of any amounts outstanding under the Credit; and

(d) amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or this Section 8.6(4).

(5) Except as expressly contemplated in this Agreement, no Lender’s Commitment or Applicable Percentage may be amended without the consent of that Lender. In addition, no amendment, modification or waiver affecting the rights or obligations of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender may be made without their respective consents and no amendment, modification or waiver affecting rights or obligations under the Loan Documents relating to Other Guaranteed Obligations may be made without the consent of the Lenders who are or whose Affiliates are affected as holders of Other Guaranteed Obligations. No amendment to the definition of “Defaulting Lender” or Section 8.8 may be made without the consent of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender. An amendment, modification or waiver affecting the Agency Fee Letter shall be made only by the parties to it.

(6) Notwithstanding Sections 8.6(3), 8.6(4) and 8.6(5), the Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, make amendments to the Loan Documents that are for the sole purpose of curing any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency that is clerical or immaterial, but shall immediately notify the Lenders if it does so. The Agent may also, without the consent of any Lender, discharge any Security and/or release any Obligor other than the Borrowers to the extent necessary to allow completion of any sale or other disposition of Property (including Equity Interests of an Obligor) or any corporate reorganization permitted by this Agreement or in respect of which the Lenders or Required Lenders have, as applicable, consented or waived the requirements of this Agreement.

(7) As between the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand:

(a) all statements, certificates, consents and other documents that the Agent purports to deliver on behalf of the Lenders or the Required Lenders shall be binding on each Lender, and the Obligors shall not be required to ascertain or confirm the authority of the Agent in delivering the documents;

- 59 -

(b) all certificates, statements, notices and other documents that are delivered by the Obligors to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly delivered to each Lender; and

(c) all payments that are delivered by the Borrowers to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been received by each Lender entitled to payment.

(8) Except in its own right as a Lender, the Agent shall not be required to advance its own funds for any purpose, and in particular, shall not be required to pay with its own funds insurance premiums, taxes or public utility charges or the cost of repairs or maintenance with respect to the Property that is the subject matter of the Security, nor shall it be required to pay with its own funds the fees of solicitors, counsel, auditors, experts or agents engaged by it as permitted by the Loan Documents.

8.7 Acknowledgments, Representations and Covenants of Lenders

(1) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to be a Lender.

(2) Each Lender acknowledges and confirms that if the Agent does not receive payment in accordance with this Agreement, it shall not be the Agent’s obligation to maintain the Credits in good standing, nor shall any Lender have recourse to the Agent in respect of any amounts owing to the Lender under this Agreement.

(3) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to advance its Applicable Percentage of Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is independent and in no way related to the obligation of any other Lender.

(4) Each Lender acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement, the Security (to the extent that the Security has been delivered) that exists at the date of this Agreement, and acknowledges that it is satisfied with the form and content of those documents.

8.8 Defaulting Lenders

(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the provisions of this Section 8.8 shall apply until the Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender all agree that the Defaulting Lender has remedied all matters that caused it to be a Defaulting Lender.

(2) Any Standby Fee shall cease to accrue on the Defaulting Lender’s unadvanced portion of any Credit.

(3) The Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to exercise any right of consent under Sections 8.6(3) and 8.6(4) and its Commitment shall not be included in determining whether the Lenders or the Required Lenders have provided any consent under those Sections. However, the Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to exercise its right of consent in respect of any matter that expressly requires its consent and any matter that requires the consent of all Lenders if it would be affected differently than the other Lenders.

- 60 -

(4) If the Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, the Borrowers’ right to receive Advances of the Defaulting Lender’s unadvanced Commitment under the Revolving Credit shall be suspended and, provided that no Event of Default or Pending Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the participation of the other Revolving Lenders in Advances under the Revolving Credit shall be re-adjusted without regard to the unadvanced Commitment of the Defaulting Lender but without increasing the overall Commitments of the other Revolving Lenders to the Revolving Credit. If the unadvanced Commitments of the other Revolving Lenders would not be sufficient to cover their obligations and the obligations of the Defaulting Lender under Section 9.1 then the Borrowers shall repay Advances under the Swing Line Tranche and/or provide cash Collateral to the Issuing Bank to secure L/Cs to the extent necessary to cover the deficiency.

(5) If the Borrowers provide cash Collateral to the Issuing Bank to secure L/Cs, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay an L/C Fee for the account of the Defaulting Lender in respect of the amount for which it has provided cash Collateral. If the obligation of the Defaulting Lender regarding L/Cs under Section 9.1 is borne by the other Revolving Lenders as a result of Section 8.8(4), then the other Revolving Lenders shall be entitled to receive any L/C Fee that would otherwise have been payable to the Defaulting Lender.

(6) The Agent may, without prejudice to the other rights of the Lenders, make adjustments to the payments to a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement as necessary to compensate the other Lenders and the Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s failure to make any payment or fulfill any other obligation under this Agreement.

8.9 Reference Lenders

(1) If more than one Lender is a bank named on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada), the Agent shall be a Schedule I Reference Lender and the Borrowers shall designate a different Lender named on Schedule I to be a Schedule I Reference Lender for the purpose of providing quotations to the Agent to be used in determining rates as required by this Agreement.

(2) If any Schedule I Reference Lender ceases to be a Lender, the person that originally designated that Schedule I Reference Lender shall have the right to designate in a timely manner another Lender that is a named on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada) as a replacement Reference Lender, failing which the applicable rate shall be determined on the basis of the quotation provided by the notice from the remaining Schedule I Reference Lender.

(3) If only one Lender is a bank named on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada), that Lender shall be deemed to be the Schedule I Reference Lender and any applicable rate shall be determined on the basis of the quotation provided by that Lender.

8.10 No Other Duties etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Bookrunners, Joint Lead Arrangers or Co-Syndication Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

8.11 Provisions Operative Between Lenders and Agent Only

Except for Sections 8.6(7), 8.7(1), 8.7(3), 8.8, 8.9 and this Section 8.11, the provisions of this Article relating to the rights and obligations of the Lenders and the Agent inter se shall be operative as between the Lenders and the Agent only, and the Obligors shall not have any rights under or be entitled to rely for any purpose on those provisions.

ARTICLE 9

DETAILS REGARDING ADVANCES, PAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

9.1 Lenders’ Obligations Relating to L/Cs and Revolving Credit

(1) Notwithstanding that L/Cs are issued by the Issuing Bank, it is the intention of the Parties that the ultimate credit risk and exposure of any Revolving Lender be in accordance with its overall Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit. Each Revolving Lender shall immediately indemnify the Issuing Bank for that Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any payment made by the Issuing Bank in respect of an L/C for which the Issuing Bank is not immediately reimbursed by the Borrowers, and shall do all things, including purchases of participations in Advances made by the Issuing Bank, that are necessary to ensure that result. Any such action on the part of the Lenders shall be binding on the Borrowers.

(2) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under Section 9.1(1) in respect of L/Cs and under Sections 2.4(3) and 2.4(4) in respect of Advances under the Swing Line Tranche are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any L/C, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or the reduction or termination of its Commitment, and that any payment it is required to make pursuant to its obligations shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If for any reason a payment to the Swing Line Lender under Sections 2.4(4) or 2.4(1) in respect of Advances under the Swing Line Tranche cannot be made or must be rescinded, each Lender shall immediately indemnify the Swing Line Lender for that Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any such payment, and shall do all such things, including purchase of participations in Advances made by the Swing Line Lender, as shall be required to ensure that result.

9.2 Adjustment of Applicable Percentages for Revolving Credit

While the Swing Line Lender is the sole Lender making Advances under the Swing Line Tranche, its participation in Advances and payments (including standby fees) under the

- 62 -

Revolving Credit shall be reduced and the participation of the other Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Credit shall be correspondingly increased as specified in Schedule E. The Agent may revise those adjustments from time to time, having regard to the amounts outstanding or committed under the Swing Line Tranche and the Main Tranche, so that the aggregate of the Advances made by the Swing Line Lender under the Revolving Credit reflects as closely as reasonably possible its overall Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit. The Agent shall amend Schedule E and distribute it to all Parties to reflect the adjustment to the Applicable Percentages. The Agent may also, and shall at the request of the Swing Line Lender, require the Borrowers to obtain Advances under the Revolving Credit and use the proceeds to repay the Swing Line Tranche, if doing so would result in the aggregate of the Advances made by the Swing Line Lender under the Revolving Credit reflecting more closely its overall Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit.

9.3 Exceptions Regarding the Revolving Credit

(1) All Advances under the Swing Line Tranche shall be made solely by the Swing Line Lender and records concerning Advances under the Swing Line Tranche shall be maintained solely by the Swing Line Lender. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts relating to the Swing Line Tranche shall be made solely to the Swing Line Lender. Any notices by the Borrowers in connection with the Swing Line Tranche shall be made to the Swing Line Lender. Notice and minimum amount requirements for Advances shall not apply to Advances by way of overdraft under the Swing Line Tranche.

(2) In connection with Advances by way of overdraft under the Swing Line Tranche, the Swing Line Lender shall, at the close of business daily, ascertain the position or net position of the account or accounts agreed on by the Borrowers and the Swing Line Lender from time to time. If a position or net position is a debit in favour of the Swing Line Lender and if the Borrowers are entitled to an Advance, the debit shall be deemed to be a Prime Rate Advance (in the case of Canadian Dollars) or Base Rate Advance (in the case of US Dollars) under the Swing Line Tranche in the amount of the debit. If a position or net position is a credit in favour of the Borrowers, the credit shall be deemed to be a repayment of Prime Rate Advances (in the case of Canadian Dollars) or Base Rate Advances (in the case of US Dollars) under the Swing Line Tranche in the amount of the credit.

9.4 Evidence of Indebtedness

The Agent shall maintain records concerning the Obligations and each Lender shall maintain records concerning those Advances it has made. The records maintained by the Agent, by the Issuing Bank relating to L/Cs and by the Swing Line Lender relating to the Swing Line Tranche, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the Obligations and all related details. The failure of the Agent or any Lender to correctly record any detail relating to an Advance shall not, however, adversely affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any of the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement.

- 63 -

Any Lender may request that any Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Agent. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment in accordance with this Agreement) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

9.5 Calculation and Other Matters Regarding Interest and Fees

(1) All interest on Prime Rate Advances, Base Rate Advances and LIBOR Advances shall accrue from day to day and shall be payable in arrears, calculated on the actual number of days elapsed from and including the date of Advance or the previous date on which interest was due in accordance with Section 2.5, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which interest is due. If interest is not paid on the date it is due, the principal amount shall continue to bear interest at the rate that is applicable to the particular type of Advance from time to time in accordance with Section 2.5(1), both before and after maturity, default and judgment, and overdue interest shall bear interest at the same rate, compounded monthly, and be payable on demand. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, upon the expiry of the LIBOR Period applicable to any LIBOR Advance, the principal amount and any overdue interest with respect to that LIBOR Advance shall bear interest calculated at the rates applicable to Base Rate Advances.

(2) Interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a calendar year unless otherwise specified. Interest calculated with reference to LIBOR shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the B/A Discount Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days. Any rate that is calculated with reference to a period (the “deemed interest period”) that is less than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to a rate based on a calendar year calculated by multiplying that rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing by the number of days in the deemed interest period. All calculations of interest and fees under the Loan Documents shall be made on the basis of the nominal rates described in this Agreement and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or on any other basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment. The Parties acknowledge that there is a material difference between the stated nominal rates and effective yearly rates taking into account reinvestment, and that they are capable of making the calculations required to determine effective yearly rates.

(3) In this Section 9.5, any reference to a “calendar year” means the calendar year in which the period for which the calculation in question falls. If the period falls in two calendar years, one of which is a leap year, the calculation shall be done separately for the parts of the period that fall in each calendar year and the calculated amounts for each period shall be added.

(4) The B/A Fee for a B/A is calculated by multiplying the face amount of the B/A by the rate for calculation of the B/A Fee specified in Section 2.5, and multiplying the result by a fraction, the numerator of which is the term of the B/A and the denominator of which is the number of days in the calendar year.

- 64 -

(5) The B/A Discount Proceeds for a B/A are equal to the face amount of that B/A multiplied by the price and shall be rounded to the nearest full cent, with one-half of one cent being rounded up. The price is calculated by dividing one by the sum of one plus the product of (i) the B/A Discount Rate applicable to that B/A expressed as a decimal fraction, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the term in days of that B/A and the denominator of which is 365. The price shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.001%.

(6) The L/C Fee for an L/C is calculated by multiplying the face amount of the L/C by the rate for calculation of the L/C Fee specified in Section 2.5, and multiplying the result by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in the period from and including the issuance or renewal of the L/C or the previous date on which the L/C Fee was due, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which the L/C Fee is due or the L/C is drawn or cancelled, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the calendar year. The fronting fee payable to the Issuing Bank shall be calculated in the same manner using the rate specified in Section 2.5(3).

(7) The standby fee shall be calculated daily on the undrawn amount of the applicable Credit at the rate for calculation of the standby fee specified in Section 2.5, beginning on the date of this Agreement, and each payment shall cover the period from and including the date of this Agreement or the previous date on which the standby fee was due in accordance with Section 2.5, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which the standby fee is due.

(8) If an Obligor fails to pay when due any amount payable under any Loan Document for which interest is not otherwise provided in this Agreement or another relevant Loan Document, that Obligor shall, on demand, pay interest on the overdue amount to the Agent from and including the due date up to but excluding the date of actual payment, both before and after demand, default or judgment, at the rate of interest determined from time to time in accordance with Section 2.5(1) that is applicable to Prime Rate Advances (if the amount is denominated in Canadian Dollars) or Base Rate Advances (if the amount is denominated in US Dollars), in each case compounded monthly.

(9) If the Borrowers deposit cash as cash Collateral pursuant to a requirement under this Agreement, the Agent or the Lender or Lenders holding the cash shall pay the Borrowers interest on the cash while it continues to be held as cash Collateral at the rate offered by the Person holding the cash from time to time for deposits in the relevant currency of comparable size and term.

(10) The Parties intend to comply with Applicable Law relating to usury. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no event shall any Loan Document require the payment or permit the collection of interest or other amounts in an amount or at a rate in excess of the amount or rate that is permitted by Applicable Law or in an amount or at a rate that would result in the receipt by the Lenders or the

- 65 -

Agent of interest at a criminal rate, as the terms “interest” and “criminal rate” are defined under the Criminal Code (Canada). Where more than one Applicable Law applies to any Obligor, that Obligor shall not be obliged to make payment in an amount or at a rate higher than the lowest permitted amount or rate. If from any circumstance whatever, fulfilment of any provision of any Loan Document would result in exceeding the highest rate or amount permitted by Applicable Law for the collection or charging of interest, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to reflect the highest permitted rate or amount. If from any circumstance the Agent or the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest under any Loan Document that would result in exceeding the highest lawful rate or amount of interest permitted by Applicable Law, the amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the relevant Credit, and not to the payment of interest, or if the excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the relevant Credit, the amount exceeding the unpaid balance shall be refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specified contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Obligors, the Agent and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and their effects, (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the term of the applicable Credit so that interest does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law, and/or (iv) allocate interest between portions of the Obligations to the end that no portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by Applicable Law. For the purposes of the Criminal Code (Canada), the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles and if there is any dispute, the determination of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Agent shall be conclusive.

9.6 Conversions, Rollovers, Renewals, Repayments and Reductions

(1) Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Borrowers may from time to time:

(a) convert all or any part of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Advance into a Base Rate Advance in the same principal amount, or vice versa;

(b) convert all or any part of the outstanding amount of any Advance by way of B/As into a Prime Rate Advance in the same principal amount, or vice versa;

(c) rollover all or any part of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Advance at the end of the LIBOR Period as a new LIBOR Advance or rollover all or any part of the outstanding amount of any Advance by way of B/As as a new Advance by way of B/As;

(d) renew an L/C at its maturity date by extending the maturity date; and

(e) in circumstances not mentioned in items (a) to (d) immediately above, concurrently repay one Advance and obtain a different type of Advance.

- 66 -

(2) Subject to giving notice required by Section 9.7, the Borrowers may from time to time repay Advances outstanding under the Revolving Credit without penalty, except that:

(a) The Borrowers must prepay all Lenders under the Revolving Credit pro rata and must prepay the same Advance made by each applicable Lender.

(b) LIBOR Advances may not be paid before the end of the applicable LIBOR Periods unless the Borrowers indemnify the relevant Lenders for any loss or expense that the Lenders incur as a result, including any breakage costs.

(c) No B/A may be paid before its maturity date. The Borrowers may provide Cash Collateral to the Lenders that have accepted B/As in an amount equal to the face amount of any or all outstanding B/As if the Borrowers concurrently repay all corresponding BA Equivalent Loans.

No voluntary payment by the Borrowers shall affect their obligation to make all other principal payments required by this Agreement in full when due, until the Revolving Credit is repaid in full and cancelled.

(3) The Borrower may from time to time cancel the Revolving Credit, or permanently reduce the committed amount of the Revolving Credit by an amount that must be a minimum of $5,000,000 and a whole multiple of $1,000,000. The Borrower shall do so by giving not less than three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Agent and paying all accrued and unpaid standby fees on the amount cancelled or reduced to the effective date of cancellation or reduction. Any reduction shall be applied pro rata to the respective Commitments of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit. The Borrower shall have no right to any reinstatement of any previously committed amount of the Revolving Credit after any cancellation or reduction.

(4) Subject to giving notice required by Section 9.7, the Borrowers may from time to time repay Advances outstanding under the Term Credit without penalty, except that:

(a) The Borrowers must prepay all Lenders under the Term Credit pro rata and must prepay the same Advance made by each applicable Lender.

(b) LIBOR Advances may not be paid before the end of the applicable LIBOR Periods unless the Borrowers indemnify the relevant Lenders for any loss or expense that the Lenders incur as a result, including any breakage costs.

(c) No B/A may be paid before its maturity date. The Borrowers may provide Cash Collateral to the Lenders that have accepted B/As in an amount equal to the face amount of any or all outstanding B/As if the Borrowers concurrently repay all corresponding BA Equivalent Loans.

No voluntary payment by the Borrowers shall affect their obligation to make all other principal payments required by this Agreement in full when due, until the Term Credit is repaid in full and cancelled.

- 67 -

9.7 Notice of Advances and Payments

(1) The Borrowers shall give the Agent irrevocable notice, in the form attached as Schedule A, of any request for any Advance to it. The Borrowers shall also give the Agent irrevocable notice in the same form of any payment by it of any Advance (whether resulting from repayment, prepayment, rollover or conversion).

(2) Notice for B/As shall be given not later than the second Business Day before the Advance Date or date of payment. Notice for LIBOR Advances shall be given not later than the third Business Day before the Advance Date or date of payment. Notice for an Advance by way of L/C shall be given not later than the third Business Day before the Advance Date or at such earlier time as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require so that it has sufficient time to review the proposed form of L/C. Notice for a Prime Rate Advance or Base Rate Advance shall be given on or before the Business Day before the Advance Date or date of payment.

(3) Notices shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date for notice. Payments (except those being made solely from the proceeds of rollovers and conversions) must be made before 11 a.m. on the date for payment. If a notice or payment is not given or made by those times, it shall be deemed to have been given or made on the next Business Day, unless all Lenders affected by the late notice or payment agree, in their sole discretion, to accept a notice or payment at a later time as being effective on the date it is given or made.

(4) Without limiting section 9 of the Provisions, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for all costs that they incur if the Borrowers give notice requesting an Advance or notice of a payment and subsequently fails to complete the Advance or payment or the conditions of the Advance are not satisfied before the time specified in Section 9.10(5) on the proposed Advance Date.

9.8 Size and Term of Advances

(1) Each Prime Rate Advance or Base Rate Advance shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 or US $1,000,000, respectively and in a whole multiple of $100,000 or US $100,000, respectively.

(2) Each Advance of B/As shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in a whole multiple of $1,000. In its notice requesting an Advance of B/As, the Borrowers shall select a term of one, two, three or six months to apply to the Advance.

(3) Each LIBOR Advance shall be in a minimum amount of US $5,000,000 and a whole multiple of US $500,000. In its notice requesting a LIBOR Advance, the Borrowers shall select a LIBOR Period of one, two, three or six months to apply to any particular LIBOR Advance.

(4) Terms of B/As and LIBOR Periods of lengths other than those specified in Sections 9.8(2) and 9.8(3) shall also be available at the discretion of the Lenders from time to time and the Agent may, in circumstances of market disruption or illiquidity,

- 68 -

restrict the term or maturity dates of B/As and/or LIBOR Advances. There shall not at any time be B/As and/or LIBOR Advances outstanding with more than six different maturity dates. No B/A may mature and no LIBOR Period may end on a date that is not a Business Day, after the maturity date of the applicable Credit, or after a date on which the applicable Credit is required to be reduced if that would adversely affect the Borrowers’ ability to make the reduction.

(5) Each L/C issued under this Agreement shall have a term that is not more than one year after its issuance date or renewal date (which may extend beyond the then-current maturity date of the Credit under which the L/C is issued), but may provide for automatic renewal of its term for successive periods of up to one year each as long as the Issuing Bank has the right to avoid automatic renewal by giving notice to the beneficiary of the L/C before the extension becomes effective. An L/C may otherwise be renewed by the Borrowers subject to complying with the terms of this Agreement applicable to an Advance by way of L/C. On the cancellation of the applicable Credit, the Borrowers shall arrange for all outstanding L/Cs to be returned to the Issuing Bank for cancellation or, provide Cash Collateral to the Issuing Bank in an amount sufficient to fully secure all outstanding L/Cs, all L/C Fees and all fronting fees for the remainder of their respective terms, in which case the Cash Collateral shall be held by the Issuing Bank in place of the Security.

9.9 Payment of B/As, LIBOR Advances and L/Cs

(1) The Borrowers shall provide for the following by giving notice under Section 9.7 requesting a rollover or conversion if the Borrowers are otherwise entitled to an Advance, or by delivery of payment:

(a) payment to the Agent at the Branch of Account of the full face amount of each B/A for value on the date of its maturity;

(b) payment to the Agent at the Branch of Account of the amount of each LIBOR Advance for value on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period; and

(c) payment to the Issuing Bank at the office where an L/C was issued of each amount payable to the beneficiary of the L/C for value on the date on which the amount is payable.

(2) If the Borrowers fail to provide for payment in accordance with Section 9.9(1), and if the Borrowers are otherwise entitled to an Advance but for failing to give notice under Section 9.7 due to inadvertence, the Agent may deem a Prime Rate Advance to have been made in the case of failure to provide for a B/A or Canadian Dollar L/C or a Base Rate Advance to have been made in the case of failure to provide for a LIBOR Advance or US Dollar L/C, in each case under the Credit under which the B/A, LIBOR Advance or L/C was originally advanced. If the Agent deems an Advance to have been made, the Agent shall immediately give notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders and, in the case of a deemed Advance relating to an L/C, the Lenders shall remit their respective shares of the Advance to the Agent for forwarding to the Issuing Bank.

- 69 -

(3) If the Borrowers fail to provide for payment in accordance with Section 9.9(1) and if the Agent does not deem an Advance to have been made under Section 9.9(2), then without limiting the Lenders’ other rights, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the amount for which it has not provided for payment at a rate of interest per annum equal to the rate applicable to Prime Rate Advances (in the case of a B/A or Canadian Dollar L/C) or Base Rate Advances (in the case of a LIBOR Advance or US Dollar L/C) as determined in accordance with Section 2.5(1), compounded monthly. Interest shall be calculated from and including the date on which payment was to have been provided for, up to but excluding the date the payment and all interest, both before and after demand, default and judgment, is provided for by the Borrowers.

9.10 Co-ordination of Prime Rate, Base Rate, B/A and LIBOR Advances

(1) The Agent shall advise each Lender of its receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 9.7 requesting a Prime Rate, Base Rate or LIBOR Advance or Advance of B/As on the day that notice is received from the Borrowers and shall, as soon as possible, advise each Lender of that Lender’s share of the Advance. Each Lender’s share shall be based on its Applicable Percentage, but if the Agent determines that a Lender’s Applicable Percentage would result in its share of an Advance not being a whole multiple of $1,000 or US $1,000, as the case may be, the Agent may increase or reduce the amount to be advanced by that Lender in the Agent’s sole discretion to the extent necessary to make the amount a whole multiple.

(2) In advising a Lender of the amount it is to deliver to the Agent in respect of any Advance, the Agent shall allow for deduction by each Lender of the applicable B/A Fee in connection with an Advance by way of B/As and may also net other amounts payable in the same currency by the Borrowers to the Agent for the account of that Lender on the Advance Date.

(3) The LIBOR Period applicable to a LIBOR Advance and the maturity date for an Advance of B/As shall be identical for each Lender.

(4) Each Lender shall deliver its share of the Advance to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Advance Date, for value on that date.

(5) If the Agent determines that all the conditions precedent to an Advance specified in this Agreement have been met, it shall advance to the Borrowers the amount delivered by each Lender by crediting the Designated Account before 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Advance Date, but if the conditions precedent to the Advance are not met by 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Advance Date, the Agent shall return the funds to the Lenders or invest them in an overnight investment as orally instructed by each Lender until the Advance is made. The Agent is not required to advance any amount to the Borrowers that the Agent has not actually received from a Lender.

(6) Any difference between the actual proceeds of a newly issued B/A and the amount required to pay a maturing B/A that is being rolled over or the amount required to pay a Prime Rate Advance that is being converted to B/As, any difference between the actual

- 70 -

proceeds of an Advance and the amount required to repay any Advance that is concurrently being repaid and any difference between the actual proceeds of an Advance and the amount required to fulfill any specific use of the proceeds that the Borrowers have directed the Agent to make, shall be paid by the Borrowers to the Agent from its own resources by 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the Advance Date or may be advanced as a Prime Rate Advance or Base Rate Advance under the Swing Line Tranche if the Borrowers are otherwise entitled to an Advance under the Swing Line Tranche.

9.11 Execution of B/As

(1) To facilitate the acceptance of B/As under this Agreement, the Borrowers appoint each Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, as and when considered necessary by the Lender, an appropriate number of orders in the form prescribed by that Lender.

(2) Each Lender may, at its option, execute any order in handwriting or by the facsimile or mechanical signature of any of its authorized officers, and the Lenders are authorized to accept or pay, as the case may be, any order of the Borrowers that purports to bear such a signature notwithstanding that the signatory has ceased to be an authorized officer of the Lender. Any such order or B/A shall be as valid as if the individual were an authorized officer at the date of issue of the order or B/A.

(3) Any order or B/A signed by a Lender as attorney for the Borrowers, whether signed in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature may be dealt with by the Agent or any Lender to all intents and purposes and shall bind the Borrowers as if duly signed and issued by the Borrowers.

(4) The receipt by the Agent of a notice requesting an Advance by way of B/As shall be each Lender’s sufficient authority to execute, and each Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, execute orders in accordance with that request and the advice of the Agent given pursuant to Section 9.10. The executed orders shall be deemed to have been presented for acceptance.

9.12 Funding of B/As

(1) It shall be the responsibility of each Lender to arrange, in accordance with normal market practice, for the sale on each Advance Date of the B/As issued by the Borrowers and to be accepted by that Lender, failing which the provisions of this Agreement relating to Non B/A Lenders shall apply.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount to be transferred by a Lender to the Agent in connection with any B/A accepted by that Lender shall be determined by the B/A Discount Proceeds calculated with respect to the B/A rather than the actual proceeds of any sale of that B/A. Accordingly, in respect of any particular B/A accepted by it, a Lender (a) shall be entitled to retain for its own account the amount, if any, by which any actual proceeds of sale exceed the calculated B/A Discount Proceeds with respect to the B/A, and (b) shall be required to pay out of its own funds the amount, if any, by which the actual proceeds of sale are less than the calculated B/A Discount Proceeds.

- 71 -

(3) Whenever the Borrowers request an Advance that includes B/As, each Lender that is not permitted by Applicable Law or by customary market practice to accept B/As or for any other reason elects by notice to the Agent from time to time not to do so (a “Non B/A Lender”) shall, in lieu of accepting its pro rata amount of B/As, make available to the Borrowers on the Advance Date a loan (a “B/A Equivalent Loan”) in Canadian Dollars and in an amount equal to the B/A Discount Proceeds of the B/As that the Non B/A Lender would otherwise have accepted, less the B/A Fee that would otherwise have been applicable. The B/A Equivalent Loan shall have a term equal to the term of the B/As that the Non B/A Lender would otherwise have accepted and the Borrowers shall, at the end of that term, be obligated to pay the Non B/A Lender an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the B/As that it would otherwise have accepted. All provisions of this Agreement applicable to B/As and Lenders that accept B/As shall apply mutatis mutandis to B/A Equivalent Loans and Non B/A Lenders.

9.13 Other B/A Provisions

(1) The Borrowers shall not claim from a Lender any days of grace for the payment at maturity of any B/A accepted by the Lender pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrowers waive any defence to payment that might otherwise exist if for any reason a B/A is held at maturity by a Lender in its own right, and the doctrine of merger shall not apply to any B/A that is at any time held by a Lender in its own right.

(2) Any executed orders to be used as B/As shall be held by a Lender in safekeeping with the same degree of care as if they were the Lender’s own Property, and shall be kept at the place at which executed orders are ordinarily held by the Lender.

(3) The obligations of the Borrowers with respect to B/As under this Agreement shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any order accepted by a Lender as a B/A; or

(b) the existence of any claim, set-off, defence or other right that the Borrowers may have at any time against the holder of a B/A, a Lender or any other Person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.

(4) The Borrowers shall not enter into any agreement or arrangement of any kind with any Person to whom B/As have been delivered by which the Borrowers undertake to replace the B/As on a continuing basis with other B/As, nor shall the Borrowers directly or indirectly take, use or provide B/As as security for loans or advances from any other Person.

9.14 Issuance and Use of L/Cs

(1) A request for an Advance by way of L/C shall be made by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 9.7, except that a copy of the request shall be sent directly to the Issuing Bank. The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the receipt of a request for an L/C,

- 72 -

but L/Cs shall only be issued by the Issuing Bank as fronting bank for all Revolving Lenders. A request shall include the details of the L/C to be issued. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrowers of any comment concerning the form of the L/C requested by the Borrowers and shall, if the Borrowers are otherwise entitled to an Advance, issue the L/C to the Borrowers on the Advance Date or as soon afterwards as the Issuing Bank is satisfied with the form of L/C to be issued.

(2) The Borrowers shall not directly or indirectly use or provide an L/C as security for Debt owing to any other Person.

9.15 Reimbursement Obligation - L/Cs

(1) Notwithstanding Section 9.9 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse any payment to a beneficiary of an L/C shall be absolute and unqualified, but without prejudice to the Borrowers’ right, after making full reimbursement, to claim damages from the Issuing Bank for matters arising from the Issuing Bank’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence. The Borrowers’ obligation shall not be reduced by any demand or other request for payment of an L/C (a “Demand”) that is paid or acted on in good faith and in conformity with Applicable Laws or applicable commercial customs or practices being invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged, nor shall the Borrowers’ obligation be subject to any defence or be affected by any right of set-off, counter-claim or recoupment that the Borrowers may have now or in the future against the beneficiary, the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, including the fact that a Demand or Demands (if applicable) aggregating up to the amount of the L/C were paid notwithstanding any contrary instructions from the Borrowers or the occurrence of any event including the commencement of legal proceedings to prohibit payment of a Demand. Any action, inaction or omission taken or suffered by the Issuing Bank or any other Person under or in connection with an L/C or any Demand, if in good faith and in conformity with Applicable Laws or applicable customs or practices shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not place the Issuing Bank or any other Person under any resulting liability to the Borrowers. Without limiting the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may receive, accept or pay as complying with the terms of the L/C, any Demand that is otherwise in order that may be signed by, or issued to, any administrator, executor, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or other person or entity acting as the representative or in place of, the beneficiary. The Borrowers shall not take any steps, issue any instructions to the Issuing Bank or any other Person or institute any proceedings intended to derogate from the right or ability of the Issuing Bank or any other Person to honour or pay any Demand.

(2) If any L/C remains outstanding after the maturity date or other cancellation of the Revolving Credit, the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 9.15(1) shall continue, notwithstanding the delivery of Cash Collateral.

9.16 Failure of Lender to Fund

(1) Unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender before the proposed date of any Advance that the Lender will not make available to the Agent its share of the Advance,

- 73 -

the Agent may assume that the Lender has made its share available on that date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may, in reliance upon that assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In that event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Advance available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Agent immediately on demand that corresponding amount, with interest for each day from and including the date the amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If the Lender pays that amount to the Agent, then the amount shall constitute the Lender’s Advance. If the Lender does not do so immediately, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent immediately on demand the corresponding amount with interest at the interest rate applicable to the Advance in question. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that has failed to make its payment to the Agent.

(2) Notwithstanding Section 9.16(1), if any Lender fails to deliver its share of any Advance to the Agent (that Lender being the “Non-Funding Lender”), the Agent shall immediately give notice of that failure by the Non-Funding Lender to the Borrowers and the other Lenders and indicate to the other Lenders that any Lender (individually a “Contributing Lender” and collectively the “Contributing Lenders”) may make available to the Agent all or any portion of the Non-Funding Lender’s share of that Advance in place of the Non-Funding Lender, but in no way shall any other Lender or the Agent be obliged to do so. A Contributing Lender shall make funds available to the Agent as soon as possible for delivery by the Agent to the Borrowers. If more than one Contributing Lender gives notice that it is prepared to make funds available and the aggregate of the funds that the Contributing Lenders are prepared to make available exceeds the amount of the Advance that the Non-Funding Lender failed to make, then each Contributing Lender shall make available a portion of that Advance based on the Contributing Lenders’ relative Commitments to the applicable Credit. If a Contributing Lender makes funds available in the place of a Non-Funding Lender, then the Non-Funding Lender shall pay the Contributing Lender, immediately on demand, the amount advanced on its behalf together with interest at the rate applicable to that Advance from the date of advance to the date of payment, and the Non-Funding Lender shall then be entitled to receive all interest paid in respect of the Advance by the Borrowers. The failure of any Lender to deliver its Applicable Percentage of any Advance to the Agent as required shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to deliver its Applicable Percentage of any Advance as required.

9.17 Payments by the Borrowers

(1) Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers shall be made to and received by the Agent and shall be distributed by the Agent to the Lenders as soon as possible upon receipt by the Agent. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Section 9.18), the Agent shall distribute:

(a) payments of interest in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the relevant Credit;

- 74 -

(b) repayments of principal in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the relevant Credit; or

(c) all other payments received by the Agent, including amounts received on the realization of Security, pro rata on the sum of the Obligations and the Other Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the relevant Credit in the case of the Obligations and in accordance with each Lender’s proportionate interest in the case of Other Guaranteed Obligations, except that no Lender shall receive proceeds of realization in excess of the Obligations or Other Guaranteed Obligations owing to it, as applicable.

(2) If the Agent does not distribute a Lender’s share of a payment made by the Borrowers to that Lender for value on the day that payment is made or deemed to have been made to the Agent, the Agent shall pay to the Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (a) the Interbank Reference Rate per annum multiplied by (b) the Lender’s share of the amount received by the Agent from the Borrowers and not distributed to the Lender, multiplied by (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed from and including the date of receipt of the payment by the Agent to but excluding the date on which the payment is made by the Agent to the Lender and the denominator of which is 365. The Agent shall be entitled to withhold any Tax applicable to any payment as required by Applicable Law.

(3) The Agent may debit accounts, credits and other balances maintained by the Borrowers from time to time with the Agent or its Affiliates to facilitate or otherwise obtain payment of interest, fees and other Obligations owing by the Borrowers.

9.18 Payments by Agent

For greater certainty, the following provisions shall apply to payments made by the Agent to the Lenders:

(a) The Agent shall be under no obligation to make any payment to any Lender (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) until an amount in respect of that payment has been received by the Agent from the Borrowers.

(b) If the Agent receives less than the full amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount owing by the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Agent shall have no obligation to remit to each Lender any amount except that Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount actually received by the Agent.

(c) If any Lender advances more or less than its Applicable Percentage of a Credit, that Lender’s entitlement to that payment shall be increased or reduced, as the case may be, in proportion to the amount actually advanced by that Lender.

- 75 -

(d) Except as specified in any applicable Assignment, if a Lender’s share of an Advance has been advanced, or a Lender’s Commitment has been outstanding, for less than the full period to which any payment (except a payment of principal) by the Borrowers relates, that Lender’s entitlement to that payment shall be reduced in proportion to the length of time the Lender’s share of the relevant Advance or the Lender’s Commitment, as the case may be, has actually been outstanding.

(e) The Agent acting reasonably and in good faith shall, after consultation with the Lenders in the case of any dispute, determine in all cases the amount of all payments to which each Lender is entitled and that determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding and conclusive.

On request, the Agent shall deliver a statement detailing any of the payments to the Lenders.

9.19 Increased Costs, Etc.

(1) If any Change in Law from time to time shall:

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

(b) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Advance made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which compensation has been or will be made pursuant to Section 9.20 and the imposition, or any change in the rate, of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender; or

(c) impose on any Lender or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Advance made by that Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender under this Agreement (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of the Lender from time to time the Borrowers will pay to that Lender an additional amount or amounts that will compensate the Lender for the additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(2) If any Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or any lending office of the Lender or its holding company (or other Controlling Person), if any, regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of its holding company (or other Controlling Person), if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of the Lender or any Advance made by the Lender, to a level below that which the Lender or its holding company (or other Controlling Person)

- 76 -

could have achieved but for that Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company (or other Controlling Person) with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements, each from time to time), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to that Lender an additional amount or amounts that will compensate Lender or its holding company (or other Controlling Person) for the reduction suffered.

(3) A certificate of a Lender specifying the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company (or other Controlling Person), determined based on methods of averaging and attribution in its sole and absolute discretion, as the case may be, as specified in this Section, including reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts determined based on methods of averaging and attribution in its sole and absolute discretion, and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt of the certificate.

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

9.20 Taxes

(1) If any Obligor, the Agent, or any Lender is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold or pay any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of an Obligor under any Loan Document, then (i) the sum payable to the Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall be increased by that Obligor when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions, withholdings and payments (including deductions, withholdings and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no deductions, withholdings or payments been required, (ii) the Obligor shall make any deductions or withholdings required to be made by it under Applicable Law and (iii) the Obligor shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted or withheld by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(2) Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.20(1), the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(3) The Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify (except to the extent such indemnification would contravene any limitations specified in any Guarantee provided by the relevant Obligor to reflect Applicable Law) the Agent and each Lender, within 10

- 77 -

days after demand, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Agent or that Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising from or with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, whether or not they were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of the payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(5) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under Applicable Law, with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall, at the request of the Borrowers or the Agent, deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, all properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law that will permit the payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding (including any documentation necessary to establish an exemption from or reduction of any Taxes that may be imposed under FATCA). In addition, (a) any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, shall deliver other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent that will enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not that Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements, and (b) any Lender shall notify the Borrowers and the Agent in writing within five Business Days of ceasing to be, or to be deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any successor provision thereto; and (ii) if a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document would be subject to US federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(6) If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with

- 78 -

respect to which an Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section or that, because of the payment of those Taxes or Other Taxes, it has benefited from a reduction in Excluded Taxes otherwise payable by it, it shall pay to the Borrowers or the Obligor, as applicable, an amount equal to the refund or reduction (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers or Obligor under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to the refund or reduction), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any net after Tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to the refund). The Borrowers or Obligor, as applicable, upon the request of the Agent or Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers or Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or the Lender if the Agent or Lender is required to repay the refund or reduction to the Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction.

9.21 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders

(1) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 9.19, or requires the Borrowers to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 9.20, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances or to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, doing so (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.19 or 9.20, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(2) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 9.19, if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 9.20, if any Lender’s obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 9.22 or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon 10 days’ notice to that Lender and the Agent, require the Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that will assume those obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts the assignment), provided that:

(a) in the case of an assignment, the Borrowers pay the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.2(1)(g);

- 79 -

(b) the Lender receives payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under the Loan Documents (including any breakage costs and amounts required to be paid under this Agreement as a result of prepayment to a Lender) from any assignee and/or the Borrowers;

(c) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 9.19 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 9.20, the assignment will result in a reduction in future compensation or payments; and

(d) any assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

(3) A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation or accept repayment if, before completion, as a result of a waiver by the Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require the assignment and delegation or repayment cease to apply.

9.22 Illegality

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

9.23 Inability to Determine Rates, Etc.

Notwithstanding Section 9.12(1), if the Required Lenders determine that for any reason a market for B/As does not exist at any time, or the Lenders cannot for other reasons, after reasonable efforts, readily sell B/As or perform their other obligations under this Agreement with respect to B/As, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the Borrowers’ right to request acceptance of B/As shall be and remain suspended until the Required Lenders determine and the Agent notifies the Borrowers and each Lender that any condition causing the original determination no longer exists. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for any requested LIBOR Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Advance, or that LIBOR for any requested LIBOR

- 80 -

Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to those Lenders of funding that Advance, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Advances shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes the notice. Upon receipt of that notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing, conversion or continuation of LIBOR Advances or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted its request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Advances in the amount specified in the request.

ARTICLE 10

ADDITIONAL LENDERS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

10.1 Successors and Assigns

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted by this Agreement, except that no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2, or (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4, (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any Party shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns, sub-agents contemplated by this Agreement, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, any sub-agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.2 Assignments by Lenders

(1) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it), provided that:

(a) except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment being assigned (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding under the Commitment) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment with respect to the assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of

- 81 -

any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Credit, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent to a lower amount (each consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(c) any assignment of a Commitment relating to a Credit under which L/Cs may be issued must be approved by the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion;

(d) any assignment must be approved by the Agent (which is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless:

(i) in the case of an assignment of a Commitment relating to the Revolving Credit, the proposed assignee is itself already a Revolving Lender;

(ii) the assignment is of a Commitment relating to the Term Credit, and the Term Credit is fully advanced; or

(iii) the proposed assignee is a bank whose senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced, long term debt is rated at least A3, A- or A low by at least two of Xxxxx’x, S&P and Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited, respectively;

(e) any assignment of a Commitment relating to the Revolving Credit must be approved by the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion;

(f) any assignment must be approved by the Borrowers (which is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender with the same type of Commitment or is an Affiliate of the Assignor or an Event of Default or Pending Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(g) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and the Eligible Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver any administrative questionnaire required by the Agent.

(2) Subject to acceptance and recording by the Agent pursuant to Section 10.3, from and after the effective date specified in the Assignment, the Eligible Assignee shall be a Party and, to the extent of the interest assigned by the Assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the Security, and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by the Assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, it shall cease to be a Party) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9.19, 9.20 and 11.9, and shall continue to be liable for any breach by it of this

- 82 -

Agreement, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring before the effective date of the assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.2 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by that Lender of a participation in those rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.4. Any payment by an assignee to an assigning Lender in connection with an assignment or transfer shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrowers or a new Advance to the Borrowers.

10.3 Register

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

10.4 Participations

(1) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, an Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of that Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it). However, (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other Parties for the performance of its obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with that Lender in connection with its rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any payment by a Participant to a Lender in connection with a sale of a participation shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrowers or a new Advance to the Borrowers.

(2) Subject to Section 10.4(3), each of the Borrowers agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9.19 and 9.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.2. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.10 as though it were a Lender, provided the Participant agrees to be subject to Section 7.11 as though it were a Lender.

(3) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 9.19 and 9.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to that Participant, unless the sale of the participation to the Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.20 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to that Participant and the Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with that Section as though it were a Lender.

11.1 Severability, Etc.

If, in any jurisdiction, any provision of any Loan Document or its application to any circumstance is restricted, prohibited or unenforceable, that provision shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of that restriction, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of the affected Loan Document, without affecting the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction and, if applicable, without affecting its application to other circumstances.

(1) Each of the Loan Documents, except for those that expressly provide otherwise, shall be conclusively deemed to be a contract made under, and shall for all purposes be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in Ontario. Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its Property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, and any appellate court from any of those courts, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in those courts. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Obligor or its Property in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or in the future have

- 84 -

to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court of the Province of Ontario. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defence of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such an action or proceeding in any such court.

11.4 Due Diligence by Lenders

Each Obligor agrees that none of the Agent or the Lenders shall have any liability to it in relation to any due diligence investigations conducted by any of them in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or be under any obligation whatsoever to disclose to it any information received or facts disclosed by any investigations. Each Obligor also agrees that it is not relying, will not rely, and will not be deemed, in any respect whatsoever, to have relied upon the facts received by and information disclosed to any of the Agent or the Lenders under or in connection with due diligence investigations.

11.5 Currency

All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in the currency in which the obligation requiring payment arose. Unless the context otherwise requires, all amounts expressed in this Agreement in terms of money shall refer to Canadian Dollars. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, wherever this Agreement contemplates or requires the calculation of the equivalent in one currency of an amount expressed in another currency for a purpose that does not involve the actual purchase of currency, the calculation shall be made on the basis of the Exchange Rate at the effective time of the calculation.

11.6 Liability of Lenders

The liability of the Lenders in respect of all matters relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is several and not joint or joint and several. Without limiting that statement, the obligations of the Lenders to make Advances are limited to their respective Applicable Percentages of any Advance that is requested, and, in the aggregate, to their respective Applicable Percentages of the total amount of each Credit.

11.7 Currency Indemnity

If a judgment or order is rendered by any court or tribunal for the payment of any amount owing to the Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document or for the payment of damages in respect of any breach of any Loan Document, or under or in respect of a judgment or order of another court or tribunal for the payment of those amounts or damages, and the judgment or order is expressed in a currency (“the Judgment Currency”) except the currency payable under the relevant Loan Document (“the Agreed Currency”), the party against whom the judgment or order is made shall indemnify and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless against any deficiency in terms of the Agreed Currency in the amounts received by the Agent and the Lenders arising or resulting from any variation as between (a) the actual rate of exchange at which the

- 85 -

Agreed Currency is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purposes of the judgment or order, and (b) the actual rate of exchange at which the Agent or Lender is able to purchase the Agreed Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Agent or Lender on the date of receipt. The indemnity in this Section shall constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Documents, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Agent or any Lender and shall be secured by the Security.

11.8 Expenses and Indemnity

(1) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent, in connection with the syndication of the Credits, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of their provisions (whether or not the transactions contemplated by them are consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any L/C or any demand for payment under an L/C and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with Advances, including those incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Obligations but excluding any expenses incurred in connection with the assignment or participation of an interest in the Credits following the initial Advance under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers shall promptly pay all invoices issued by legal counsel to the Agent and the Agent may debit any account maintained by the Borrowers with it to pay invoices.

(2) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent (and its sub-agents), each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each of whom is called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Obligor or other Person (except an Indemnitee) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated by it, the performance or non-performance by the Parties of their respective obligations under any Loan Document or the consummation or non-consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, (ii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of its proceeds (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honour a demand for payment under an L/C if the documents presented in connection with the demand do not strictly comply with the terms of the L/C), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release, spill, leakage, emission, deposit, discharge, leaching, migration or disposition of any Hazardous Material on or from any Property owned or operated by any Obligor, or any related remedial action taken by the Agent or Lender or any breach of Applicable Law with respect thereto that is related in any way to any Obligor (including the assertion of any Lien under Applicable Law), or (iv) any

- 86 -

actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by an Obligor and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party to it, provided that the indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that its losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from its gross negligence or wilful misconduct or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrowers or any other Obligor against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of that Indemnitee’s obligations under any Loan Document, if the Obligor has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favour on that claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall it be available in respect of matters specifically addressed in Sections 9.19, 9.20 and 11.8(1).

(3) All amounts due under this Section 11.8 shall be payable promptly after demand. A certificate of the Agent or a Lender specifying the amount or amounts owing to the Agent, Lender or a sub-agent or Related Party, as the case may be, as specified in this Section, including reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

11.9 Address for Notice

(1) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in Section 11.9(3)), all notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier to the addresses or telecopier numbers specified on Schedule D or, if to a Lender, to it at its address or telecopier number specified in the Register or, if to an Obligor other than the Borrowers, in care of the Borrowers. Those addresses shall apply to notices under all Loan Documents, unless otherwise expressly provided.

(2) Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given on a Business Day between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time where the recipient is located, shall be deemed to have been given at 9:00 a.m. on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 11.9(3), shall be effective as provided in that Section.

(3) Notices and other communications to the Lenders may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, except that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender of Advances to be made if the Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices relating to Advances by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrowers may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, but approval of those procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

- 87 -

(4) Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), except that if a notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, the notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that the notice or communication is available and identifying the website address.

(5) Any Party may change its address or telecopier number for notices and other communications by notice to the other Parties.

11.11 Further Assurances

The Obligors shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly do, execute, deliver or cause to be done, executed or delivered all further acts, documents and matters that may, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent (or the Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable), be necessary or desirable in order to fully perform and carry out the purpose and intent of the Loan Documents.

11.12 Term of Agreement

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, it shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment and performance in full in cash of all of the Obligations and the termination of all Commitments. The obligations of the Obligors in Sections 9.15, 9.19, 9.20, 11.7 and 11.8 shall continue for the benefit of those to whom the obligations are owed notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the Commitments or any particular person’s role as Obligor, Agent or Lender.

11.13 Payments on Business Day

Whenever any payment or performance under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, unless the following Business Day is in a different calendar month, in which case the payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day.

11.14 Counterparts and Facsimile

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement. For the purposes of this Section, the delivery of a facsimile copy of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to be valid execution and delivery of this Agreement.

- 88 -

11.15 Waiver of Jury Trial and Consequential Damages

(1) Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this the Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether oral or written) or actions of any party (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory).

(2) No party shall assert, and each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim against any other party on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether oral or written) or actions of any party (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory).

(4) Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing provisions, and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the waivers, acknowledgments and certifications in this Section.

11.16 Whole Agreement

Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act. Each Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

11.20 Limitation Periods

To the extent that any limitation period applies to any claim for payment of obligations or remedy for enforcement of obligations under any Loan Document, the Obligors agree that:

(a) any limitation period applying to a Loan Document expressed to be payable on demand shall not begin before an express demand for payment of the relevant obligations is made in writing by the Agent to the relevant Obligor;

(b) any applicable limitation period shall begin afresh upon any payment or other acknowledgment by any Obligor of its relevant obligations; and

(c) each Loan Document is a “business agreement” as defined in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario) if that Act applies to it.

11.21 Services Provided and Conflicts of Interest

(1) The Agent and Lenders shall not be responsible for providing or arranging services to the Obligors except providing the Credits. The services of the Agent and Lenders do not include the provision of general corporate finance advisory services. The responsibility of the Agent and Lenders is solely contractual in nature and they do not owe the Obligors any fiduciary duty as a result of the Loan Documents.

- 90 -

(2) The Obligors acknowledge that the Agent, the Lenders and/or one or more of their respective Affiliates may now and in the future provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other Persons with whom the Obligors may have conflicting interests. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates will not disclose confidential information obtained from the Obligors in connection with the performance of services for others. Similarly, the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates have no obligation to disclose the existence of or use for the Obligors’ benefit confidential information that they have obtained or may obtain from any other Person.

(3) The Obligors also acknowledge that the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates engage in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may provide investment banking and other financial services to other Persons with which the Obligors may have commercial or other relationships, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for their own accounts and the accounts of customers, the Obligors’ equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) and those of other Persons with which the Obligors may have commercial or other relationships. All rights in respect of securities and financial instruments held by the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates or their respective customers, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights in its sole discretion.

(4) The Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates are not responsible to provide the Obligors with advice relating to legal, regulatory, accounting or tax matters. The Obligors acknowledge that (a) they have relied and will continue to rely on the advice of their own legal, regulatory, accounting and tax advisors for all matters relating to the Credits and otherwise and (b) they have not received or relied upon advice from the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates or advisors regarding legal, regulatory, accounting or tax matters.

(5) The Obligors acknowledge that no client or near-client relationship has been or will be established between the Obligors and any legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders as a result of their representation of the Agent or Lenders, including by reason of any confidential information regarding any Obligor being provided to legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders or by reason of any Obligor paying or reimbursing the Agent or Lenders for fees, charges or disbursements of legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders. The Obligors also acknowledge that legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders shall not be prevented from (a) continuing to act for the Agent and Lenders in connection with the Credits and the Loan Documents, including any enforcement of the Security, for any reason including any client or near-client relationship that may exist now or in the future between legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders and any Obligor, or (b) acting for any other Person whose interests conflict with the interests of any Obligor unless the Obligors establish, without the benefit of any presumption, that counsel has provided the other Person, to the detriment of the Obligors, with confidential information regarding the Obligors that they have received as a result of acting as legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders.

- 91 -

11.22 Nature of Borrowers Obligations.

(1) It is understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that the obligation to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, the Advances, Letters of Credit and all other Obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each Borrower.

(2) The obligations of each Borrower with respect to the Obligations are independent of the obligations of the other Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against a Borrower, whether or not the other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by a Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitation as to such Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the other Borrower.

(3) Each of the Borrowers authorizes the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the other Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(b) release or substitute the other Borrower;

(c) settle or compromise any of the Obligations of the other Borrower, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the other Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;

(d) apply any sums paid by the other Borrower or any other Person, howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the other Borrower or other Person regardless of what liability or liabilities of the other Borrower or other Person remain unpaid; and/or

(e) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by the other Borrower or any other Person.

(4) It is not necessary for the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of either Borrower or any of its officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the Borrowers hereunder.

(5) No Borrower shall have any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to the other Borrower as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and until termination of the Commitments, all Letters of Credit have been terminated and all Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

- 92 -

(6) Each Borrower waives any right to require the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders to (i) proceed against the other Borrower or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the other Borrower or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship or any impairment of security held from the other Borrower or any other party or on or arising out of any defense of the other Borrower or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the other Borrower or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the other Borrower, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

11.23 Date of Agreement

This Agreement may be referred to as being dated March 24, 2016 or as of March 24, 2016, notwithstanding the actual date of execution.
