2.1      Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations, warranties and covenants herein set forth, each of the parties hereto agrees that, effective as of the Effective Date, an aggregate of $50,000,000 of the Pre-Filing Secured Claims owing by the Borrower to the Pre-Filing Lenders in respect of the Pre-Filing Loans and/or the Pre-Filing Hedging Obligations shall be restructured as, and shall thereafter take the form of, loans under this Agreement (each, a “Loan”). Any existing holder of Pre-Filing Secured Claims which elects to have a portion of its Pre-Filing Secured Claims take the form of Loans (each a “Lender” and, collectively, “Lenders”), in accordance with Section 6.1(ii) of the Plan of Arrangement, shall be allocated Loans in an amount equal to the principal amount of Pre-Filing Secured Claims held by such Lender, after deducting the amount with respect to any Tranche B Loans allocated to such Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(i) of the Plan of Arrangement, and subject to pro rata allocation, based upon each Lender’s respective Pre-Filing Secured Claims, if the aggregate election requests of all Lenders exceeds $50,000,000. The initial amount of each Lender’s Loans as at the Effective Date will be as set forth in Schedule A. Without limitation of any of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that its liability in respect of the Loans shall be absolute and unconditional. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Financing Document shall be construed as a commitment by any Lender to make any additional loan or other credit available under this Agreement or in any other Financing Document. The Lenders acknowledge that the Loans and the Liens granted as security therefor are subordinated in the manner and to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

2.2      Interest.

(a)	The Loans shall bear interest (computed in arrears on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to 8%, calculated on a semi-annual basis. The Borrower shall have the option of paying accrued interest on each Interest Payment Date. Unless the Borrower elects to pay (and does pay) interest on an Interest Payment Date, all accrued interest shall also accrue interest and compound at a rate per annum of 8%, calculated on a semi-annual basis, until paid, and shall be payable on the Maturity Date.
(b)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 10%, calculated on a semi-annual basis, until paid.
(c)	In the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.
(d)	All interest hereunder shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

- 20 -

(e)

The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

(f)

If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), by reducing any fees, commissions premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for the purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

2.3      Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the unpaid principal amount of all of the Loans, and all other amounts owing hereunder (including unpaid accrued interest) on the Maturity Date.

(a)	Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender hereunder, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)	The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)	The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.4(a) and (b) shall be conclusive evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the records maintained by the Administrative Agent and any Lender, the records maintained by the Administrative Agent shall govern.
(d)	Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such

- 21 -

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 Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.4) 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).

Any payment received pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall be applied, on a pro rata basis, firstly, against the amounts of unpaid accrued interest on the Loans, and thereafter, to the permanent prepayment of the Loans outstanding. The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent written irrevocable notice of such payment at least three Business Days prior to the date such payment is to be made. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date required by Section 2.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7 hereunder. Upon receipt of any notice given pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected party of the contents thereof and of such party’s Applicable Percentage of such payment. No prepayment of any Loan may be reborrowed.
	(b)	Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Borrower may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, upon giving three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and shall be irrevocable. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7 and accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid in accordance with Section 2.2. Each voluntary prepayment of any Loan shall be permanent, and shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $100,000.
	(c)	Notice by Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of a notice of payment pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected party of the contents thereof and of such party’s rateable share of such payment.

	(ii)	impose on any Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement (including the imposition on any Lender of, or any change to, any Indemnified Tax);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender of participating in any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)	If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)	A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in Sections 2.6(a) or (b), together with a brief description of the Change of Law, shall be delivered to the Borrower, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In preparing any such certificate, a Lender shall be entitled to use averages and to make reasonable estimates, and shall not be required to “match contracts” or to isolate particular transactions. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
(d)	Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

2.8     Taxes.

(a)	Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.8), the Administrative Agent or relevant Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deduction, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
(b)	In addition to the payments by the Borrower required by Section 2.8(a), the Borrower shall pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)	As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)	In the event that the Borrower is required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from any payment hereunder, any Foreign Lender that is

2.9          Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under this Section 2.9 shall be made in Canadian Dollars.
(b)	If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.3, (ii) second, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, rateably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (iii) third, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, rateably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c)	Without limiting the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all

- 25 -

	or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) this Section 2.9(c) shall not apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)	Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the rate otherwise applicable to such payment.
(e)	If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.9(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section 2.9(d) until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Financing Document, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any other Financing Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Administrative Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice at its head office in Toronto, Ontario. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount due, the Borrower will, on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the

- 26 -

amount received by the Administrative Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other Financing Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which the Administrative Agent is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, the Borrower shall indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any other Financing Document or under any judgment or order.

2.11     Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.6, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6 or 2.8, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.6, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.6 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.8, such assignment will result

- 27 -

in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.12     Indemnity for Returned Payments. If, after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Loans, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Loans or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the Borrower shall be liable to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and hereby does indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.13      Existing Security. The Borrower and the Parent confirm that, in accordance with paragraph 27 of the Sanction Order, (a) the Liens granted pursuant to the Pre-Filing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Security”) shall remain in place and be reserved pending the execution, delivery and registration of the Security Documents pursuant to this Agreement and the delivery of all required consents to such Security Documents, and (b) no steps to perfect or reperfect (including registration or publication of any hypothecs) the Existing Security, other than any steps which are required generally under applicable provincial laws to maintain perfection of security interests (including registration or publication of any hypothecs), shall be required to secure the obligations of the Borrower and the Parent hereunder.

ARTICLE 8
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

8.1     Appointment of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates JPMorgan Chase Bank, Toronto Branch, as Administrative Agent to act as herein specified and as specified in the other Financing Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Financing Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.

8.2     Limitation of Duties of Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth with respect to the Administrative

- 42 -

Agent in this Agreement and as specified in the other Financing Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Financing Documents unless it is requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.

8.3     Lack of Reliance on the Agent.

(a)

Independent Investigation. Independently, and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the consummation of the Transactions or at any time or times thereafter.

(b)

Agent Not Responsible. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or the financial condition of any Credit Party or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, or the financial condition of any Credit Party, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

8.4     Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders or the Required Lenders (as the case may be) with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received written instructions from the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement and

- 43 -

the other Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or, to the extent required by Section 9.2, all of the Lenders.

8.5      Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or facsimile message, electronic mail, cablegram, radiogram, order or other documentary teletransmission or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

8.6      Indemnification of Agent. To the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, in proportion to its aggregate Applicable Percentage, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in performing its duties hereunder, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, including all applicable Taxes to which the Administrative Agent may be subject in so performing or that are in any way so related; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or wilful misconduct.

8.7      The Agent in its Individual Capacities. With respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the Loans made by it, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Toronto Branch, in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties, if any, specified herein; and the terms “Lenders” and “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include JPMorgan Chase Bank, Toronto Branch in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Borrower or any affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not performing the duties, if any, specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

8.8     May Treat Lender as Owner. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of the Loans recorded on the Register maintained pursuant to Section 9.4(b) for all purposes hereof until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of a Loan shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent owner, transferee or assignee of such Loan.

- 44 -

8.9      Successor Administrative Agent.

(a)

Administrative Agent Resignation. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (who shall not be a non-resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act), subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation then, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (subject to approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), which shall be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or having a parent company with combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

(b)

Rights, Powers, etc. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

8.10      Lenders to Enforce through Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Security Documents and the remedies provided thereunder to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally, and further acknowledges that each Lender’s rights hereunder and under the Security Documents are to be exercised collectively, not severally, by the Administrative Agent upon the decision of the Required Lenders. Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in the Security Documents, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder, including any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder, but that any such action shall be taken only by the Administrative Agent with the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders (or the Required Lenders) and where in the sole opinion of the Administrative Agent the exigencies of the situation so warrant such action, the Administrative Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders (or the Required Lenders) take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interests of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written consent being given by the Required Lenders, it shall co-operate fully with the Administrative Agent to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, and each Lender further covenants and agrees that all proceeds from the

- 45 -

realization of the Security Documents, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, are held for the benefit of all of the Lenders and shall be shared among the Lenders rateably in accordance with this Agreement, and each Lender acknowledges that all costs of any such realization (including all amounts for which the Administrative Agent is required to be indemnified under the provisions hereof) shall be shared among the Lenders rateably in accordance with this Agreement. Each Lender covenants and agrees to do all acts and things and to make, execute and deliver all agreements and other instruments, so as to fully carry out the intent and purpose of this Section and each Lender hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not seek, take, accept or receive any security for any of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Financing Documents, or any other document, instrument, writing or agreement ancillary hereto or thereto, other than such security as is provided hereunder or thereunder, unless all of the Lenders shall at the same time obtain the benefit of any such security or agreement, as the case may be.

8.11      Quebec Security. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, or any other Person acting as an agent or mandatary for such agents hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents, the Borrower and the Parent hereby acknowledge that, for purposes of holding any security granted by any Credit Party on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party under any bond issued by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, the Collateral Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Lenders, and in particular for all present and future holders of any such bond. Each Lender hereby: (i) irrevocably constitutes, to the extent necessary, the Collateral Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold hypothecs and security granted by the Borrower or any other Credit Party on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of Borrower or any other Credit Party under any bond issued by the Borrower or any other Credit Party; and (ii) appoints and agrees that the Administrative Agent may act as the bondholder and mandatary with respect to any bond that may be issued by the Borrower or any Credit Party and pledged in their favour from time to time. Each assignee of a Lender shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Collateral Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) and shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution and the Administrative Agent as bondholder and mandatary with respect to any bond that may be issued by the Borrower or any Credit Party and pledged from time to time in their favour by the execution of an Assignment and Assumption.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec), the Administrative Agent may acquire and be the holder of any bond issued by the Borrower or any other Credit Party (i.e. the fondé de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond issued under any deed of hypothec by the Borrower or any Credit Party). The Borrower and each Credit Party hereby acknowledge that such bond constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

The Collateral Agent herein appointed as fondé de pouvoir shall have the same rights, powers and immunities as the Agents as stipulated herein, including under this Section 8 and Section 9,

- 46 -

which shall apply mutatis mutandis. Without limitation, the provisions of Section 8.9 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the resignation and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent acting as fondé de pouvoir.

9.2      Waivers; Amendments.

(a)

No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.2(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

(b)

For greater certainty, the Administrative Agent may release and discharge the Liens constituted by the Security Documents to the extent necessary to enable

- 48 -

the Borrower or any other Credit Party to complete any asset sale which is not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, and the Administrative Agent may agree to amend or waive Section 2.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement with the consent of the Required Lenders.

9.3     Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)

The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and all applicable Taxes, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and applicable Taxes, in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or of any of the other Financing Documents, (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender and all applicable Taxes, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)

The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, as well as each Related Party and each assignee of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person and each such assignee being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, cost recovery actions, damages, expenses and liabilities of whatsoever nature or kind and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including due diligence expenses, syndication expenses, travel expenses and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) and all applicable Taxes to which any Indemnitee may become subject arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution or delivery of the Financing Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions thereunder, (ii) any Loan or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Credit Party, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (v) any other aspect of this Agreement

- 49 -

	and the other Financing Documents, or (vi) the enforcement of any Indemnitee’s rights hereunder and any related investigation, defence, preparation of defence, litigation and enquiries, in each case regardless of whether or not the Transactions are consummated; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or wilful misconduct of or material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect or consequential damages in connection with its activities related to the Loans nor shall any Credit Party be liable for any indirect or consequential damages in connection with its activities related to the Loans.
(c)	To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid under Sections 9.3(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as such.
(d)	The Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law), any claim against any Indemnitee, 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, any Financing Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e)	Any inspection of any property of any Credit Party made by or through the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for purposes of administration of this Agreement and the Financing Documents only, and neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party is entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of the Borrower).
(f)	By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Financing Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.
(g)	The relationship between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lenders. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance

- 50 -

	be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform the Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their property or the operations of the Borrower or its Affiliates. The Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon.
(h)	The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of any Credit Party or their Affiliates and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless on the terms set forth in Section 9.3(b) from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.
(i)	This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as provided in Sections 9.3(b) and 9.4, no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.
(j)	All amounts due under this Section 9.3 shall be payable not later than three Business Days after written demand therefor.

9.4      Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

- 51 -

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or any Lender Affiliate, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided further that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required with respect to any assignment made at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or any Lender Affiliate, the aggregate amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Assumption relating to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless both the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in writing, and the amount held by each Lender after each such assignment shall not be less than the minimum assignable amount described in this section above, unless both the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in writing, (iii) each partial assignment in respect of any assigned Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Loans, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with (except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender) a processing and recordation fee of $5,000, payable by the assigning Lender, (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, and (vi) the Borrower shall not incur any increased costs merely due to any such assignment including any obligation to make any payment under Section 2.8 that would exceed the amount payable to the assigning Lender. The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower and each Lender with written notice of any change in (or new) address of a Lender disclosed in an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.4(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.4(d). The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Toronto, Ontario a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the

- 52 -

	recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(c)	Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.4(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.4(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in Section 9.4(b).
(d)	Any Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.2(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.4(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section 9.4(d). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.9(c) as though it were a Lender.
(e)	A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.6 or 2.7 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written

- 53 -

	consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.8 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.8(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f)	Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and Section 9.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g)	Any assignment or grant of a participation pursuant to Section 9.4 shall constitute neither a repayment by the Borrower to the assigning or granting Lender of any Loan included therein, nor a new advance of any such Loan to the Borrower by such Lender or by the assignee or Participant, as the case may be. The parties acknowledge that the Borrower’s obligations hereunder with respect to any such Loans will continue and will not constitute new obligations as a result of such assignment or participation.

9.5      Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. Sections 2.6, 2.7 or 2.8 and 9.3 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect, regardless of the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of the Loans or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

9.6     Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Financing Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed original or faxed counterpart of a signature page

- 54 -

of this Agreement by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

9.7      Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.8     Right of Set Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, but subject always to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) which such Lender may have.

9.9      Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)	This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the Laws of the Province of Ontario.
(b)	The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Province of Ontario, and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any other Financing Document or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in Ontario. Each of the parties hereto 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 Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
(c)	The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 9.9(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any forum non conveniens defence to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

- 55 -

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

9.10     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 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 AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

9.11      Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

9.12      Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to each of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or other Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Financing Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Financing Document or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, any of its subsidiaries, or their respective business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified as confidential in writing at the time of delivery.

- 56 -

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
