(3) The Borrower shall comply with the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.16 with respect to each repayment required pursuant to Section 2.15(2) and the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.16 shall apply thereto, mutatis mutandis, including (for certainty) the obligation of the Borrower to make payments pursuant to Section 2.16(1) in respect of the repayment of any CDOR Rate Loan under the Term Loan Facility on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

(1) If any SOFR Loan or CDOR Rate Loan is repaid or converted on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower shall, within three Banking Days after notice is given by the Agent or the Operating Lender, pay to the Agent for the account of such Lenders or the Operating Lender, as the case may be, all costs, losses, premiums and expenses incurred by such Lenders or the Operating Lender, as the case may be, by reason of the liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds, or for any other reason whatsoever, resulting in each case from the repayment of such Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Any Lender, upon becoming entitled to be paid such costs, losses, premiums and expenses, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a certificate of the Lender certifying as to such amounts and, in the absence of manifest error, such certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(2) With respect to the funding of the repayment of unexpired Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.14(d) or otherwise hereunder, it is agreed that the Borrower shall provide for the funding in full of the repayment of unexpired Letters of Credit by paying to and depositing with the Operating Lender cash collateral for each such unexpired Letter of Credit equal to the maximum amount thereof, plus the fees payable pursuant to Sections 6.6(1) through to the expiry of such Letter of Credit, in each case, in the respective currency which the relevant Letter of Credit is denominated; such cash collateral deposited by the Borrower shall be held by the Operating Lender in an interest bearing cash collateral account (including, in the sole discretion of the Operating Lender, in a guaranteed investment certificate account of the Operating Lender on terms specified by the Operating Lender) with interest to be credited to the Borrower at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for similar accounts with the Operating Lender. Such cash collateral accounts shall be assigned to the Operating Lender as security for the obligations of the Borrower in relation to such Letters of Credit and the Security Interest of the Operating Lender thereby created in such cash collateral shall rank in priority to all other Security Interests and adverse claims against such cash collateral. Such cash collateral shall be applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower for such Letters of Credit as payments are made thereunder and the Operating Lender is hereby irrevocably directed by the Borrower to so apply any such cash collateral. Amounts held by the Operating Lender in such cash collateral accounts may not be withdrawn by the Borrower without the consent of all of the Lenders and the Operating Lender; however, interest on such deposited amounts shall be for the account of the Borrower and may be withdrawn by the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing. If after expiry of the Letters of Credit for which such funds are held and application by the Operating Lender of the amounts in such cash collateral accounts to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to the Letters of Credit being repaid, any excess remains, such excess shall be promptly paid by the Operating Lender to the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing.

2.17 Currency Excess

(1) If the Agent, in the case of the Syndicated Facility or the Operating Lender, in the case of the Operating Facility, shall determine that the aggregate Outstanding Principal of the outstanding Loans under such a given Credit Facility exceeds the maximum amount of such Credit Facility (the amount of such excess is herein called the “Currency Excess”), then, upon written request by the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) (which request shall detail the applicable Currency Excess), the Borrower shall repay an amount of Canadian Prime Rate Loans or U.S. Base Rate Loans under such Credit Facility within (a) if the Currency Excess exceeds [Redacted] of the amount of such Credit Facility, 5 Banking Days, and (b) in all other cases, 30 days after receipt of such request, such that, except as otherwise contemplated in Section 2.17(2), the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of such repayments is, in the aggregate, at least equal to the Currency Excess.

(2) If, in respect of any Currency Excess, the repayments made by the Borrower have not completely removed such Currency Excess (the remainder thereof being herein called the “Currency Excess Deficiency”), the Borrower shall within the aforementioned 5 Banking Days or 30 days, as the case may be, after receipt of the aforementioned request of the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be), place an amount equal to the Currency Excess Deficiency on deposit with the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) in an interest bearing account with interest at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for the account of the Borrower, to be assigned to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or to the Operating Lender (as the case may be) by instrument satisfactory to the Agent and, if applicable, to be applied to maturing CDOR Rate Loans or SOFR Loans (converted if necessary at the exchange rate for determining the Equivalent Amount on the date of such application or held to provide for the funding of unexpired Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.16(2) which shall apply mutatis mutandis). The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent and the Operating Lender a fixed charge and specific security interest in such sums on deposit as security for such obligations. The Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the Borrower to apply any such sums on deposit to maturing Loans or to satisfy obligations of the Borrower for such Letters of Credit as payments are made thereunder, as the case may be, as provided in the preceding sentence. Upon the Currency Excess Deficiency being eliminated as aforesaid or by virtue of subsequent changes in the exchange rate for determining the Equivalent Amount, then, provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, such funds on deposit, together with interest thereon shall be returned to the Borrower.

2.18 Hedging with Lenders and Hedging Affiliates

If a Lender or Hedging Affiliate enters into a Financial Instrument with the Borrower or a Subsidiary which such Lender or Hedging Affiliate (as the case may be) believes, acting reasonably, in good faith and without any actual notice or knowledge to the contrary, is Permitted Hedging, then each such Lender Financial Instrument and the Lender Financial Instrument Obligations under such Financial Instrument shall be secured by the Security equally and rateably with the Obligations, the other Lender Financial Instrument Obligations and the Cash Management Obligations, regardless of whether the Borrower or such Subsidiary has complied herewith (but, for certainty, without in any manner lessening or relieving the Borrower or such Subsidiary from its obligation to comply therewith).

“Requested Lenders” means those Lenders which are not then Non-Extending Lenders.

“Syndicated Facility Extension Request” means a written request by the Borrower to the Requested Lenders to extend the Syndicated Facility Term Out Date applicable to such Lenders up to 364 days, which request shall include an Officer’s Certificate certifying that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

- 61 -

(3) Upon receipt from the Borrower of an executed Syndicated Facility Extension Request, the Agent shall forthwith deliver to each Requested Lender a copy of such request, and each Requested Lender shall, within 30 days after the date the Agent receives such request from the Borrower, provide to the Agent and the Borrower either: (a) written notice that such Requested Lender (each, an “Extending Lender”) agrees to the requested extension of the current Syndicated Facility Term Out Date applicable to it or (b) written notice (each, a “Notice of Non-Extension”) that such Requested Lender (each, a “Non-Extending Lender”) does not agree to such requested extension; provided that, if a Requested Lender shall fail to so notify the Agent and the Borrower, then such Requested Lender shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Non-Extension and shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The determination of each Lender whether or not to extend the Syndicated Facility Term Out Date applicable to it shall be made by each individual Lender in its sole discretion.

(4) If the Extending Lenders have not less than 66²⁄₃% of the aggregate Syndicated Facility Commitments, the Syndicated Facility Term Out Date shall be extended in accordance with the Syndicated Facility Extension Request for each of the Extending Lenders. If the Extending Lenders do not have at least 66²⁄₃% of the aggregate Syndicated Facility Commitments, the Syndicated Facility Term Out Date shall not be extended for any of the Requested Lenders. For certainty, the Syndicated Facility Term Out Date for a Non-Extending Lender shall not be extended, regardless of whether the Syndicated Facility Term Out Date is extended for the Extending Lenders as aforesaid.

Such assignments shall be effective upon execution of assignment documentation satisfactory to the relevant Non-Extending Lender, the assignee, the Borrower and the Agent (each acting reasonably), upon payment to the relevant Non-Extending Lender (in immediately available funds) by the relevant assignee of an amount equal to its Rateable Portion of all Obligations being assigned and all accrued but unpaid interest and fees hereunder in respect of those portions of the Loans and Syndicated Facility Commitments being assigned, upon payment by the relevant assignee to the Agent (for the Agent’s own account) of the transfer fee contemplated in Section 15.6, and upon provision satisfactory to the Non-Extending Lender (acting reasonably) being made for (i) payment at maturity of outstanding SOFR Loans and CDOR Rate Loans, and (ii) any costs, losses, premiums or expenses incurred by such Non-Extending Lender by reason of the liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds in respect of SOFR Loans and CDOR Rate Loans outstanding hereunder. Upon such assignment and transfer, the Non-Extending Lender shall have no further right, interest, benefit or obligation in respect of the Syndicated Facility (except as provided in Section 15.6) and the assignee thereof shall succeed to the position of such Lender as if the same was an original party hereto in the place and stead of such Non-Extending Lender and shall be deemed to be an Extending Lender; for such purpose, to the extent that the assignee is not already a party hereto, the assignee shall execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement and such other documentation as may be reasonably required by the Agent and the Borrower to confirm its agreement to be bound by the provisions hereof and to give effect to the foregoing; and

(b) to the extent that any Non-Extending Lender has not assigned its rights and interests to an Extending Lender or other financial institution as provided in subparagraph (a) above, the Borrower may, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, repay the Non-Extending Lender’s Rateable Portion of all Loans outstanding under the Syndicated Facility, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon with respect to its Syndicated Facility Commitments, without making corresponding repayment to the other Lenders and, upon such repayment and provision satisfactory to the relevant Non-Extending Lender (acting reasonably) being made for (i) payment at maturity of all outstanding SOFR Loans and CDOR Rate Loans and (ii) any costs, losses, premiums or expenses incurred by such Lender by reason of a liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds in respect of SOFR Loans and CDOR Rate Loans outstanding hereunder, the Borrower may cancel such Non-Extending Lender’s Syndicated Facility Commitment. Upon completion of the foregoing, such Non-Extending Lender shall have no further right, interest, benefit or obligation in respect of the Syndicated Facility and the Syndicated Facility shall be reduced by the amount of such Lender’s cancelled Syndicated Facility Commitment.

- 62 -

(6) If, with respect to a Syndicated Facility Extension Request, the provisions of Section 2.19(5) are not applicable and there are Non-Extending Lenders and Extending Lenders (a “Syndicated Facility Partial Extension”), from and as of the date of the Syndicated Facility Term Out Date applicable to each such Non-Extending Lender, all Drawdowns, Rollovers and Conversions under the Syndicated Facility may only be obtained from the Extending Lenders in proportion to their respective Syndicated Facility Commitments and all applicable provisions of this Agreement shall be construed accordingly. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any Syndicated Facility Partial Extension:

(a) the provisions herein relating to the Syndicated Facility Term Period shall apply separately to the Non-Extending Lenders as a group; and

(b) for so long as the Syndicated Facility exists concurrently with one or more Syndicated Facility Term Periods under the Syndicated Facility:

(i) any subsequent Drawdowns, Rollovers and Conversions under the Syndicated Facility shall be allocated pro rata among the Extending Lenders in accordance with their respective Syndicated Facility Commitments;

(ii) the Borrower shall not be entitled to cancel any Syndicated Facility Commitments of Extending Lenders under Section 2.13 unless it concurrently makes a pro rata cancellation of the Syndicated Facility Commitments of Non-Extending Lenders (and repayment of Loans to Non-Extending Lenders to the extent necessary to effect such cancellation) and any cancellation or permanent reduction of the Syndicated Facility Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be allocated pro rata among the Extending Lenders and the Non-Extending Lenders in accordance with their respective Syndicated Facility Commitments; and

(iii) if the Borrower makes an optional repayment under the Syndicated Facility prior to the then latest Syndicated Facility Term Out Date other than pursuant to Section 2.13, such repayment shall be deemed to have been made to the Extending Lenders only and shall not be applied in repayment of Loans owed to Non-Extending Lenders unless the Agent is expressly directed in writing by the Borrower at the time of payment to allocate such payment pro rata among the Extending Lenders and the Non-Extending Lenders in accordance with their respective Syndicated Facility Commitments.

(7) This Section 2.19 shall apply from time to time to facilitate successive extensions and requests for extension of the Syndicated Facility Term Out Date. The Borrower shall not be entitled to request any action or give any notice under this Section at any time when a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If, as of the current Syndicated Facility Term Out Date (before the extension thereof in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.19), a Default or Event of Default exists, the Syndicated Facility Term Out Date shall not be extended, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, for any Extending Lender unless each Extending Lender has waived such Default or Event of Default in writing.

The determination of the Operating Lender whether or not to extend the Operating Facility Term Out Date shall be made by the Operating Lender in its sole discretion.

(4) If the Operating Lender agrees to such requested extension of the current Operating Facility Term Out Date with respect to a given Operating Facility Extension Request, then the current Operating Facility Term Out Date shall be extended as requested in such Operating Facility Extension Request.

(5) This Section shall apply from time to time to facilitate successive extensions and requests for extension of the Operating Facility Term Out Date. The Borrower shall not be entitled to request any action or give any notice under this Section at any time when a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If, as of the current Operating Facility Term Out Date (before the extension thereof in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.20), a Default or Event of Default exists, the Operating Facility Term Out Date shall not be extended, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary unless the Operating Lender has waived such Default or Event of Default in writing.

(i) at least five (5) Banking Days prior to the delivery to the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) of any Drawdown Notice pursuant to Section 2.6 requesting one or more Loans intended to be used to finance such Takeover, the Borrower shall advise the Agent, who shall promptly advise an appropriate officer of each Lender of the particulars of such Takeover;

(ii) within three (3) Banking Days of being so advised, in the case of a Drawdown Notice in respect of the Syndicated Facility, each Lender shall notify the Agent of such Lender’s determination as to whether it is willing to finance such Takeover or, in the case of a Drawdown Notice in respect of the Operating Facility, the Operating Lender shall notify the Agent of its determination as to whether it is willing to finance such Takeover; provided that, in the event any such Lender does not so notify the Agent within such three (3) Banking Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have notified the Agent that it is not willing to finance such Takeover; and

(iii) the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each such applicable Lender’s determination,

and in the event that any Lender has notified or is deemed to have notified the Agent that it is not willing to finance such Takeover (each, a “Declining Lender”), then the Declining Lenders shall have no obligation to provide Loans to finance such Takeover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary; provided, however, that each other Lender (each, a “Financing Lender”) which has advised the Agent it is willing to finance such Takeover shall have an obligation, up to the amount of its Commitment under the relevant Credit Facility, to provide Loans to finance such Takeover, and the Loans to finance such Takeover shall be provided by each Financing Lender in accordance with the ratio, determined prior to the provision of any Loans to finance such Takeover, that the Commitment of such Financing Lender under the Credit Facility in question bears to the aggregate the Commitments of all the Financing Lenders under the Credit Facility in question.

- 65 -

(2) If Loans are used to finance a Takeover and there are Declining Lenders, subsequent Loans under a Credit Facility shall be funded firstly by Declining Lenders having Commitments under such Credit Facility, and subsequent repayments under such Credit Facility shall be applied firstly to Financing Lenders, in each case, until such time as the proportion that the amount of each Lender’s Outstanding Principal under such Credit Facility bears to the total Outstanding Principal under such Credit Facility is equal to such proportion which would have been in effect but for the application of this Section 2.22.

2.23 Determinations of the Borrowing Base; Removal of Certain Lenders

(1) The Lenders may from time to time determine the Borrowing Base in their sole discretion and the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a written notice specifying each such determination (each such notice, a “Borrowing Base Notice”). Each determination of the Borrowing Base by the Lenders shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes hereof and shall be effective (a) in the case of an increase in the Borrowing Base, or a re-affirmation of the same Borrowing Base, immediately upon receipt by the Borrower of the Borrowing Base Notice specifying the same, (b) in the case of a decrease in the Borrowing Base resulting from the Disposition of any Borrowing Base Properties (including (i) the Disposition of a Subsidiary, and (ii) any Disposition of P&NG Rights in respect of Borrowing Base Properties in connection with the granting of a royalty in such P&NG Rights), any Hedge Monetization or the Borrower or any Subsidiary becoming subject to ARO Order(s) and/or Energy Regulator Demand(s) for Deposits, immediately upon receipt by the Borrower of the Borrowing Base Notice specifying the same, and (c) in the case of all other decreases in the Borrowing Base, 60 days after receipt by the Borrower of the Borrowing Base Notice specifying the same, and in each case until the coming into effect of a subsequent determination of the Borrowing Base. As at the date hereof, the Borrowing Base has been determined by the Lenders to be the principal amount of the Credit Facilities available hereunder (that is, Cdn.$205,000,000) and, for certainty, the Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be reduced by the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility repaid from time to time until the Borrowing Base is Cdn.$175,000,000.

(2) The Borrowing Base shall be determined and re-determined as follows:

(a) by May 31^st of each year in respect of the annual Engineering Report delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.1(e)(vii) and by November 30^th of each year in respect of the update to such report delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.1(e)(viii), as the case may be, the Lenders shall attempt to reach unanimous agreement on a new Borrowing Base; the next scheduled determination of the Borrowing Base shall be November 30, 2022;

(b) if all of the Lenders agree to the amount of the Borrowing Base by May 31^st or November 30^th, as the case may be, then the Agent shall deliver a Borrowing Base Notice to the Borrower (with a copy thereof to each Lender) specifying such agreed upon Borrowing Base; and

(c) if all of the Lenders cannot agree on the amount of the Borrowing Base by May 31^st or November 30^th or within 30 days in the case of any of (i) to (iv) below, as the case may be, then the Borrowing Base shall be deemed to have been determined by the Lenders as the lowest Borrowing Base amount proposed by a Lender or Lenders (each acting in good faith) (such Lender, a “Lowest Borrowing Base Lender”) to the Agent and other Lenders by written notice, and promptly after each May 31^st or November 30^th or the expiry of such 30 day period, as the case may be, the Agent shall deliver a Borrowing Base Notice to the Borrower (with a copy thereof to each Lender) specifying such Borrowing Base.

- 66 -

In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders may determine and re-determine the Borrowing Base at any time and from time to time (in addition to the aforementioned determinations of the Borrowing Base after receipt of the annual Engineering Report and the update thereto):

(i) at the request of the Majority of the Lenders, upon the occurrence of any event, matter or circumstance which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(ii) once per calendar year at the request of the Majority of the Lenders;

(iii) at the request of the Majority of the Lenders, if the Borrower or any Subsidiary becomes subject to any ARO Order and/or any Energy Regulator Demand for Deposits, the aggregate estimated cost of compliance with all such ARO Orders and Energy Regulator Demands for Deposits (without duplication), would exceed the Threshold Amount; for the purpose of determining the estimated cost for purposes of this clause (B), the Borrower shall provide the Agent with a reasonable estimate of such costs within fifteen (15) Banking Days of its receipt of the applicable order or demand and shall deliver to each Lender all such other relevant information related to such estimate as may be reasonably required by any such Lender; or

(iv) for certainty, to the extent the same may be required pursuant to Section 9.2(d), 9.2(g) or 9.2(k),

in each of the foregoing cases, any such determination or re-determination of the Borrowing Base that is initiated as aforesaid shall be completed by the Lenders within 30 days after the Agent provides written notice to the Borrower that any of such Lenders have requested such determination or re-determination. For certainty, but subject to Section 2.23(2)(c), the then current Borrowing Base shall remain in effect unless and until there has been an agreement of all of the Lenders or expiry of the aforementioned 30 day period and determination or re-determination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.23(2)(c).

(3) If the Borrowing Base has been determined pursuant to Section 2.23(2)(c), the Borrower shall have the right:

(a) to require any Lowest Borrowing Base Lender to assign its Commitments, its Rateable Portion of all Loans and other Obligations and all of its rights, benefits and interests under the Documents to other Lenders which have agreed to increase their Commitments or to other financial institutions acceptable to the Agent, acting reasonably, and the provisions of Section 2.19(5) shall apply thereto, mutatis mutandis; or

(b) to repay a Lowest Borrowing Base Lender’s Rateable Portion of all Loans outstanding under the Credit Facilities, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon with respect to its Commitments (without making corresponding repayment to the other Lenders) and cancel such Lowest Borrowing Base Lender’s Commitments, and the provisions of Section 2.19(5) shall apply thereto, mutatis mutandis.

(4) The Borrower may request, one additional time between scheduled determinations and re-determinations of the Borrowing Base set forth in Section 2.23(2) a re-determination of the Borrowing Base upon notice to the Agent. Upon such request, the Borrowing Base will be re-determined as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that the Borrower has made available to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the current information which, in the opinion of the Majority of the Lenders, acting reasonably, is required to perform such re-determination. The Borrowing Base will be adjusted effective on the date specified in the notice of same given by the Agent to the Borrower. In connection with any such re-determination, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders will be entitled to charge the Borrower a reasonable “work fee” to be agreed upon between the Borrower and the Agent.

(5) If, after a Borrowing Base determination or re-determination, a Borrowing Base Shortfall exists, the Borrower will, within 60 days after receipt by the Borrower of notice of the Borrowing Base Shortfall: (a) repay Loans under the Credit Facilities to the extent necessary to reduce the Outstanding Principal of Loans under the Credit Facilities by not less than the amount of the Borrowing Base Shortfall and/or (b) add sufficient oil and gas properties as determined by the Lenders to eliminate the Borrowing Base Shortfall. For certainty, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request Drawdowns during the occurrence of a Borrowing Base Shortfall.

- 67 -

(6) At the request of the Agent, the Borrower will meet annually or semi-annually, with the Lenders at a time and place mutually acceptable to the Borrower and the Lenders to review and discuss the production profile of the Borrowing Base Properties, and such other matters affecting the Borrower and the Material Subsidiaries’ business as the Lenders may request, acting reasonably.

5.8 Agent’s Fees

From and after the date hereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for its own account, until the Credit Facilities have been fully cancelled and all Obligations hereunder have been paid in full, the non-refundable agency fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Agency Fee Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event that any amount due hereunder (including any interest payment) is not paid when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay interest on such unpaid amount (including interest on interest), if and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from the date that such amount is due until the date that such amount is paid in full (but excluding the date of such payment if the payment is received for value at the required place of payment on the date of such payment prior to 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time)), and such interest shall accrue daily, be calculated and compounded monthly on the last Banking Day of each such month and be payable in the currency of the relevant Loan on demand, after as well as before maturity, default and judgment, at a rate per annum that is equal to (a) in respect of amounts due in Canadian Dollars, the rate of interest then payable on Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as set forth in Section 5.1) plus 2.0% per annum or (b) in respect of amounts due in United States Dollars, the rate of interest then payable on U.S. Base Rate Loans (as set forth in Section 5.2) plus 2.0% per annum.

5.10 Waiver

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the covenant of the Borrower to pay interest at the rates provided herein shall not merge in any judgment relating to any obligation of the Borrower to the Lenders or the Agent and any provision of the Interest Act (Canada) or Judgment Interest Act (Alberta) which restricts any rate of interest set forth herein shall be inapplicable to this Agreement and is hereby waived by the Borrower.

5.11 Maximum Rate Permitted by Law

If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Documents would obligate Borrower or any Material Subsidiary to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Agent or any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in a receipt by the Agent or such Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Agent or such Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (a) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Agent or such Lender under Section 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, and (b) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Agent or such Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Agent or any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Agent or such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from the Agent or such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Agent or such Lender to the Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 5.11 shall be determined in accordance with GAAP as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the date hereof to the applicable Maturity Date.

ARTICLE 6 - LETTERS OF CREDIT

The Borrower also agrees that the Lenders, the Operating Lender and the Agent shall have no liability to it for any reason in respect of or in connection with any Letter of Credit, the issuance thereof, any payment thereunder or any other action taken by the Lenders, the Operating Lender or the Agent or any other person in connection therewith, except as a result of the Agent’s, Lenders’, or Operating Lender’s (as applicable) gross negligence or wilful misconduct, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The sole obligation of the Operating Lender with respect to Letters of Credit is to cause to be paid a Draft drawn or purporting to be drawn in accordance with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit and for such purpose the Operating Lender is only obliged to determine that the Draft purports to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit.

The Operating Lender shall not have any responsibility or liability for or any duty to inquire into the form, sufficiency (other than to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph), authorization, execution, signature, endorsement, correctness (other than to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph), genuineness or legal effect of any Draft, certificate or other document presented to it pursuant to a Letter of Credit and the Borrower unconditionally assumes all risks with respect to the same. The Borrower agrees that it assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit with respect to the use by such beneficiary of the relevant Letter of Credit. The Borrower further agrees that the Operating Lender, and its officers, directors and correspondents will not assume liability for, or be responsible for:

(a) the validity, correctness, genuineness or legal effect of any document or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, even if such document or instrument should in fact prove to be in any respect invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

(b) the failure of any document or instrument to bear any reference or adequate reference to any Letter of Credit;

(c) any failure to note the amount of any Draft on any Letter of Credit or on any related document or instrument; s

(d) any failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to meet the obligations of such beneficiary to the Borrower or any other person;

- 75 -

(e) any errors, inaccuracies, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, directions or correspondence by mail, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they are in cipher;

(f) any inaccuracies in the translation of any messages, directions or correspondence or for errors in the interpretation of any technical terms; or

(g) any failure by the Operating Lender to make payment under any Letter of Credit as a result of any law, control or restriction rightfully or wrongfully exercised or imposed by any domestic or foreign court or government or Governmental Authority or as a result of any other cause beyond the control of the Operating Lender, or its officers, directors or correspondents.

(3) Obligations Unconditional

The obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be reduced by any event, circumstance or occurrence, including any lack of validity or enforceability of a Letter of Credit, or any Draft paid or acted upon by the Operating Lender or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or correspondents, or any Letter of Credit being fraudulent, forged, invalid or insufficient in any respect (except with respect to their gross negligence or wilful misconduct or payment under a Letter of Credit other than in substantial compliance therewith), or any set-off, defenses, rights or claims which the Borrower may have against any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to any alteration to or extension of the expiration date of any Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued to replace, extend or alter any Letter of Credit.

(4) Other Actions

Any action, inaction or omission taken or suffered by the Operating Lender or by any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or correspondents under or in connection with a Letter of Credit or any Draft made thereunder, if in good faith and in conformity with foreign or domestic laws, regulation or customs applicable thereto shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not place the Operating Lender or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or correspondents under any resulting liability to the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Operating Lender and its officers, directors, agents, employees or correspondents may receive, accept or pay as complying with the terms of a Letter of Credit, any Draft thereunder, otherwise in order which may be signed by, or issued to, the administrator or any executor of, or the trustee in bankruptcy of, or the receiver for any property of, or any person or entity acting as a representative or in the place of, such beneficiary or its successors and assigns. The Borrower covenants that it will not take any steps, issue any instructions to the Operating Lender or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or correspondents or institute any proceedings intended to derogate from the right or ability of the Operating Lender or its officers, directors, agents, employees or correspondents to honour and pay any Letter of Credit or any Drafts.

(5) Payment of Contingent Liabilities

The Borrower shall pay to the Operating Lender an amount equal to the maximum amount available to be drawn under any unexpired Letter of Credit which becomes the subject of any order, judgment, injunction or other such determination (an “Order”), or any petition, proceeding or other application for any Order by the Borrower or any other party, restricting payment under and in accordance with such Letter of Credit or extending the Operating Lender’s liability under such Letter of Credit beyond the expiration date stated therein; payment in respect of each such Letter of Credit shall be due forthwith upon demand in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated.

Any amount paid to the Operating Lender pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be held by the Operating Lender in interest bearing cash collateral accounts (with interest payable for the account of the Borrower at the rates and in accordance with the then prevailing practices of the Operating Lender for accounts of such type) as continuing security for the Obligations (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Agent and the Operating Lender a fixed charge and specific security interest in such amounts as security for the Obligations) and shall, prior to an Event of Default be applied by the Operating Lender against the Obligations for, or (at the option of the Operating Lender) be applied in payment of, such Letter of Credit if payment is required thereunder; after an Event of Default the Operating Lender shall apply such amounts, firstly, against any Obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit, and, after satisfaction of such Obligations or expiry of such Letter of Credit, against any other Obligations as it sees fit or as is directed by the Lenders.

- 76 -

The Operating Lender shall release to the Borrower any amount remaining in the cash collateral accounts after applying the amounts necessary to discharge the Obligations relating to such Letter of Credit, upon the later of:

(a) the date on which any final and non-appealable order, judgment or other determination has been rendered or issued either terminating any applicable Order or permanently enjoining the Operating Lender from paying under such Letter of Credit;

(b) the earlier of:

(i) the date on which either the original counterpart of such Letter of Credit is returned to the Operating Lender for cancellation or the Operating Lender is or are released by the beneficiary thereof from any other obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit to the satisfaction of the Operating Lender, acting reasonably; and

(ii) the expiry of such Letter of Credit; and

(7) Uniform Customs and Practice

The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “Uniform Customs for Letters of Credit”) shall in all respects apply to each Letter of Credit that is a letter of credit unless expressly provided to the contrary therein and shall be deemed for such purpose to be part of this Agreement as if fully incorporated herein. The Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “Uniform Customs for Letters of Guarantee”) shall in all respects apply to each Letter of Credit that is a letter of guarantee unless expressly provided to the contrary therein and shall be deemed for such purpose to be a part of this Agreement as if fully incorporated herein. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Uniform Customs and the governing law of this Agreement, the Uniform Customs for Letters of Credit or Uniform Customs for Letters of Guarantee, as applicable, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prevail to the extent necessary to remove the conflict or inconsistency.

6.8 Existing Letters of Credit

From and after the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 3.2, all of the Existing Letters of Credit shall be, and shall be deemed to be, Letters of Credit issued hereunder for the account of the Borrower by the Operating Lender under the Operating Facility.

10.10 Security for Hedging with Former Lenders

If a Lender ceases to be a Lender under this Agreement (a “Former Lender”), all Lender Financial Instrument Obligations owing to such Former Lender and its Hedging Affiliates under Lender Financial Instruments entered into while such Former Lender was a Lender shall remain secured by the Security (equally and rateably) to the extent that such Lender Financial Instrument Obligations were secured by the Security prior to such Lender becoming a Former Lender and, subject to the following provisions of this Section 10.10 and unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein or in any other Document to “Lender Financial Instrument Obligations” shall include such obligations to a Former Lender and its Hedging Affiliates, all references herein or in any other Document to “Lenders” shall include Former Lenders for the purposes of such obligations, all references herein or in any other Document to “Hedging Affiliates” shall include Affiliates of such Former Lenders for the purposes of such obligations and all references herein or in any other Document to “Lender Financial Instruments” shall include such Financial Instruments with a Former Lender and its Hedging Affiliates.

- 104 -

10.11 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs

(a) To the extent that the Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Lender Financial Instrument or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the United States Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable therein or the laws of any other jurisdiction).

(b) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) the Agent is advised in writing by Lenders holding at least 25% of the Commitments of all Lenders hereunder (each, a “Lender CDOR Suspension Notice”) that such Lenders have determined (acting reasonably) that the Applicable CDOR Rate will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their CDOR Rate Loans included in such Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion for the relevant Interest Period,

then:

(c) the right of the Borrower to request CDOR Rate Loans from the applicable Lenders shall be suspended until the Agent, the Operating Lender or the Lenders, as the case may be, determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and so notifies the Borrower and the Lenders;

(a) an interest rate or discount rate is not ascertainable in subparagraph (a) of the definition of “CDOR Rate” (for the purposes of this Section 12.3, “CDOR”), including because the Refinitiv Screen CDOR Page is not available or published on a current basis for the applicable period, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;

(b) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of CDOR, the Bank of Canada, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator of CDOR, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator of CDOR, or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator of CDOR, has made a public statement, or published information, stating that the administrator of CDOR, has ceased or will cease to provide CDOR, permanently or indefinitely on a specific date; provided that, at that time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide CDOR; or

(d) the administrator of CDOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent or the administrator of CDOR has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which CDOR shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans or the discount rates for bankers’ acceptances; provided that, at that time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide CDOR

(the date of determination or such specific date in the foregoing subparagraphs (a) through (c), the “CDOR Discontinuation Date”); or

(e) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 12.3, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace CDOR,

then reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) or receipt by the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) of such notice, as applicable, the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) and the Borrower may mutually agree upon a successor rate to CDOR, and the Agent (including upon direction by the Operating Lender in the case of such determination made by the Operating Lender) and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace CDOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Canadian Dollars denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “CDOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed CDOR Successor Rate conforming changes and any such amendment shall become effective, in the case of any conforming changes or amendment affecting the Operating Facility, immediately upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and, in the case of any conforming changes or an amendment affecting the Syndicated Facility or the Term Loan Facility, at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth (5^th) Banking Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all of the Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority of the Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that the Majority of the Lenders do not accept such amendment for purposes of the Syndicated Facility or the Term Loan Facility; provided that, if the CDOR Successor Rate agreed upon to replace CDOR shall be less than zero, it shall be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement.

(2) Until conforming changes or an amendment reflecting the transition to the CDOR Successor Rate becomes effective as contemplated by this Section, the interest rate applicable to each Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of a CDOR Rate Loan shall continue to be calculated with reference to CDOR; provided that, in the case of the Syndicated Facility or the Term Loan Facility, if the Agent, or, in the case of the Operating Facility, the Operating Lender, determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that a CDOR Discontinuation Date has occurred, then following the CDOR Discontinuation Date, until such time as an amending agreement adopting such CDOR Successor Rate becomes effective as contemplated by this Section:

(a) any requested Drawdown by way of, Conversion into, or Rollover of, a CDOR Rate Loan under the applicable Credit Facility shall be deemed to be a request for a Canadian Prime Rate Loan in the same principal amount under the same Credit Facility; and

(b) in respect of a maturing CDOR Rate Loan under the applicable Credit Facility, in the event the Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a Conversion Notice with respect thereto specifying the Conversion of such CDOR Rate Loan (on the maturity date thereof) into another type of Loan other than a CDOR Rate Loan (and provided a valid Repayment Notice has not been delivered to the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) in respect thereof), such maturing CDOR Rate Loan shall be converted on the maturity date thereof into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan under the same Credit Facility as if a valid Conversion Notice had been given to the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of the CDOR Successor Rate (exclusive of any margin) shall provide that in no event shall such CDOR Successor Rate be less than zero for the purposes of this Agreement. In addition, for certainty, upon the occurrence of a CDOR Discontinuation Date, the Canadian Prime Rate shall be determined without regard to subparagraph (b) of the definition thereof.

12.4 Change in Law

(1) Subject to Sections 12.4(2) and 12.4(3), if the adoption of any applicable law, regulation, treaty or official directive (whether or not having the force of law) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any Governmental Authority or any other entity charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by a Lender or its Lender Parent with any request or direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any such court, Governmental Authority or other entity in each case after the date hereof:

(a) subjects such Lender or its Lender Parent to, or causes the withdrawal or termination of a previously granted exemption with respect to, any Taxes (other than Taxes imposed on or measured by such Lender’s or its Lender Parent’s overall net income or overall capital), or changes the basis of taxation of payments due to such Lender, or increases any existing Taxes (other than Taxes imposed on or measured by such Lender’s or its Lender Parent’s overall net income or overall capital) on payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement;

(b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, insurance charges, regulatory or similar requirement against assets or liabilities held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by such Lender or its Lender Parent, or any acquisition of funds for loans or commitments to fund loans or obligations in respect of undrawn or committed lines of credit;

(c) imposes on such Lender or its Lender Parent or requires there to be maintained by such Lender or its Lender Parent any capital adequacy or liquidity or additional capital or liquidity requirements (including a requirement which affects such Lender’s or its Lender Parent’s allocation of capital resources to its obligations) in respect of any Loan or obligation of such Lender hereunder, or any other condition with respect to this Agreement; or

(d) directly or indirectly affects the cost or imposes any expense to such Lender or its Lender Parent of making available, funding or maintaining any Loan (other than changes in Taxes imposed on or measured by such Lender’s or its Lender Parent’s overall net income or overall capital) or otherwise imposes on such Lender or its Lender Parent any other condition or requirement affecting this Agreement or any Loan or any obligation of such Lender hereunder;

and the result of (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, in the sole determination of such Lender acting in good faith, is:

(e) to increase the cost to such Lender or its Lender Parent of performing its obligations hereunder with respect to any Loan;

(f) to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender or its Lender Parent hereunder or its effective return hereunder or on its capital in respect of any Loan or a Credit Facility;

(g) to reduce the standby fees payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 5.7; or

- 116 -

(h) to cause such Lender or its Lender Parent to make any payment with respect to or to forego any return on or calculated by reference to, any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect to any Loan or a Credit Facility;

such Lender shall determine that amount of money which shall compensate the Lender or its Lender Parent for such increase in cost, payments to be made or reduction in income or return or interest foregone (herein referred to as “Additional Compensation”). Upon a Lender having determined that it is entitled to Additional Compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Agent. The relevant Lender shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with a photocopy of the relevant law, rule, guideline, regulation, treaty or official directive (or, if it is impracticable to provide a photocopy, a written summary of the same) and a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Lender setting forth the Additional Compensation and the basis of calculation therefor, which shall be conclusive evidence of such Additional Compensation in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to such Lender within 10 Banking Days of the giving of such notice such Lender’s Additional Compensation. Each of the Lenders shall be entitled to be paid such Additional Compensation from time to time to the extent that the provisions of this Section are then applicable notwithstanding that any Lender has previously been paid any Additional Compensation.

(2) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States, Canadian or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III and (b) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (United States) and all regulations, requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “New Rules”) shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in applicable law for purposes of this Section 12.4 regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented, in each case (i) to the extent such New Rules are materially different from the Applicable Laws in effect on the date hereof and (ii) to the extent that such New Rules have general application to substantially all banks or their Affiliates which are subject to the New Rules in question.

(3) Each Lender agrees that it will not claim Additional Compensation from the Borrower under Section 12.4(1) if it is not generally claiming similar compensation from its other customers in similar circumstances or in respect of any period greater than 3 months prior to the delivery of notice in respect thereof by such Lender, unless, in the latter case, the adoption, change or other event or circumstance giving rise to the claim for Additional Compensation is retroactive or is retroactive in effect.

12.5 Prepayment of Portion

In addition to the other rights and options of the Borrower hereunder and notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof, if a Lender gives the notice provided for in Section 12.4 with respect to any Loan (an “Affected Loan”), the Borrower may, upon 2 Banking Days’ notice to that effect given to such Lender and the Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), either effect a Conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof (if such Conversion would reduce the applicable Additional Compensation) or prepay in full without penalty such Lender’s Rateable Portion of the Affected Loan outstanding together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid up to the date of such prepayment, such Additional Compensation as may be applicable to the date of such payment and all costs, losses and expenses incurred by such Lender by reason of the liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Affected Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, and upon such payment being made that Lender’s obligations to make such Affected Loans to the Borrower under this Agreement shall terminate.

- 117 -

12.6 Illegality

If a Lender determines, in good faith, that the adoption of any applicable law, regulation, treaty or official directive (whether or not having the force of law) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any Governmental Authority or any other entity charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by a Lender or its Lender Parent with any request or direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority or entity, now or hereafter makes it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to, or for its Lender Parent to permit such Lender to, make, fund or maintain a Loan under any Credit Facility or to give effect to its obligations in respect of such a Loan, such Lender may, by written notice thereof to the Borrower and to the Agent declare its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Loan to be terminated whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and the Borrower shall, within the time required by such law (or at the end of such longer period as such Lender at its discretion has agreed), either effect a Conversion of such Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof (if such Conversion would resolve the unlawfulness or impossibility) or prepay the principal of such Loan together with accrued interest, such Additional Compensation as may be applicable with respect to such Loan to the date of such payment and all costs, losses and expenses incurred by the Lenders by reason of the liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. If any such change shall only affect a portion of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement which is, in the opinion of such Lender and the Agent, severable from the remainder of this Agreement so that the remainder of this Agreement may be continued in full force and effect without otherwise affecting any of the obligations of the Agent, the other Lenders or the Borrower hereunder, such Lender shall only declare its obligations under that portion so terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a notice delivered by a Lender pursuant to this Section 12.6 asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining U.S. Base Rate Loans, the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the U.S. Base Rate, the interest rate on which U.S. Base Rate Loans of such Lender are determined shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by, in the case of the Syndicated Facility, the Agent or, in the case of the Operating Facility, such Lender which is the Operating Lender, without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the U.S. Base Rate until such affected Lender notifies the Borrower and, in the case such affected Lender is a Syndicated Facility Lender, the Agent, that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

12.7 Temporary Market Disruption Respecting SOFR

Subject to Section 12.1, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

(a) the Agent, in the case of the Syndicated Facility, or the Operating Lender, in the case of the Operating Facility, determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

(b) Lenders holding 25% of the Commitments of all Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a Conversion thereto or a Rollover thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and such Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent,

the Agent (with respect to a determination made by the Agent pursuant to clause (a) above or with respect to any determination made pursuant to clause (b) above) will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender or the Operating Lender (with respect to a determination made by the Operating Lender pursuant to clause (a) above) will promptly so notify the Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) to the Borrower as aforesaid, any obligation of, in the case of a notice by the Agent pursuant to clause (a) above with respect to the Syndicated Facility, the Syndicated Facility Lenders, in the case of a notice by the Agent pursuant to clause (b) above, the Lenders under each of the Credit Facilities and, in the case of a notice by the Operating Lender pursuant to clause (a) above, the Operating Lender, to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert U.S. Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans under such applicable Credit Facilities, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of Lenders to the Agent holding 25% of the Commitments of all Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke under the applicable Credit Facilities any pending request for a Drawdown of, Conversion to or Rollover of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have under the applicable Credit Facilities converted any such request into a request for a Drawdown of or Conversion to U.S. Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will, in respect of the applicable Credit Facilities, be deemed to have been converted into U.S. Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such Conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16(1). Subject to Section 12.1, if, in the case of the Syndicated Facility, the Agent or, in the case of the Operating Facility, the Operating Lender (as the case may be), determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on U.S. Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “U.S. Base Rate” until the Agent or the Operating Lender (as the case may be) revokes such determination.

- 118 -

ARTICLE 13 - COSTS, EXPENSES AND INDEMNIFICATION

13.1 Costs and Expenses

The Borrower shall pay, within 30 days after notice from the Agent all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lenders, the Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers, including travel expenses of the Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers, in connection with the Documents and the establishment and initial syndication of the Credit Facilities, including in connection with negotiation, preparation, printing, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Documents whether or not any Drawdown has been made hereunder, and also including: (a) the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lenders’ Counsel (on a solicitor-client full indemnity basis) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent and the Lenders as to their rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Documents and (b) any third party service providers in respect of the Platform.

13.2 General Indemnity

In addition to any liability of the Borrower to any Lender or the Agent under any other provision hereof, the Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Party and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities (including any expense or cost incurred in the liquidation and re-deployment of funds acquired to fund or maintain any portion of a Loan and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable and documented legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis) incurred by the same as a result of or in connection with the Credit Facilities or the Documents, including as a result of or in connection with:

(a) any cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-deployment in whole or in part of deposits or other funds required by any Lender to fund or maintain any Loan as a result of the Borrower’s failure to complete a Drawdown or to make any payment, repayment or prepayment on the date required hereunder or specified by it in any notice given hereunder;

(b) the Borrower’s failure to pay any other amount, including any interest or fee, due hereunder on its due date after the expiration of any applicable grace or notice periods (subject, however, to the interest obligations of the Borrower hereunder for overdue amounts);

(e) the Borrower’s failure to give any notice required to be given by it to the Agent or the Lenders hereunder;

(f) the failure of the Borrower to make any other payment due hereunder;

(g) any inaccuracy or incompleteness of the Borrower’s representations and warranties contained in Article 8;

(h) any failure of the Borrower to observe or fulfil its obligations under Article 9;

(i) without limiting the foregoing, any inaccuracy or incompleteness of the Borrower’s representations and warranties contained in Section 8.1(bb) hereof;

(j) any failure of the Borrower to observe or fulfil its obligations under Section 5.5(4) hereof;

(k) any failure of the Borrower to observe or fulfil any other Obligation not specifically referred to above; or

(l) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default in respect of the Borrower,

provided that this Section shall not apply to any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities that arise by reason of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Party claiming indemnity hereunder, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Further, for greater certainty, the provisions of this Section 13.2 shall not govern or apply to the Lender Financial Instruments or the Cash Management Documents or the performance thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (as applicable), which shall be governed by the respective terms and conditions thereof. The provisions of this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations.

13.3 Environmental Indemnity

The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties forthwith on demand by the Agent from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, debts, damages, costs, losses, liabilities, penalties, obligations, judgments, charges, expenses and disbursements (including all reasonable and documented legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and his own client basis) of any nature whatsoever, suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of them in connection with any Credit Facility, whether as beneficiaries under the Documents, as successors in interest of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or voluntary transfer in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise howsoever, with respect to any Environmental Claims relating to the property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries arising under any Environmental Laws as a result of the past, present or future operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor in interest to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries) relating to the property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or the past, present or future condition of any part of the property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries owned, operated or leased by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or any such predecessor in interest), including any liabilities arising as a result of any indemnity covering Environmental Claims given to any person by the Lenders or the Agent or a receiver, interim receiver, receiver manager or similar person appointed hereunder or under applicable law (collectively, the “Indemnified Third Party”); but excluding any Environmental Claims or liabilities relating thereto to the extent that such Environmental Claims or liabilities arise by reason of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Third Party claiming indemnity hereunder, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section shall survive the repayment of the Obligations.

- 120 -

13.4 Judgment Currency

(1) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrower in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Banking Day immediately preceding:

(a) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or

(b) the date on which the judgment or judicial order is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section being hereinafter in this Section referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(2) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 13.4(1)(b), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower shall pay such additional amount (if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars, as the case may be, which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

(3) Any amount due from the Borrower under the provisions of Section 13.4(2) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement.

(4) The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 13.4 means the rate of exchange provided for in the definition of “Equivalent Amount” for Canadian interbank transactions in Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars, as the case may be, for the day in question.

13.5 Limit on Liability of Indemnified Parties

No Indemnified Party shall have any liability to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any person asserting claims on behalf of, or in right of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof in connection with or as a result of any Credit Facility, this Agreement or any other Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Borrower, such Subsidiary or other person are determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have (a) resulted solely by reason of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (b) in respect only of a Lender, resulted from the intentional failure of such Lender to advance funds under its Commitment when all conditions precedent to a Drawdown have been satisfied. In any event, and notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof or of the other Documents to the contrary, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of any Credit Facility, this Agreement or any other Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. For certainty, the provisions of this Section 13.5 shall not govern or apply to the liabilities of any of the Secured Parties, as the case may be, under the Lender Financial Instruments or the Cash Management Documents, as the case may be, which shall be governed by the respective terms and conditions thereof.

- 121 -

ARTICLE 14 - THE AGENT AND ADMINISTRATION

OF THE CREDIT FACILITY

14.1 Authorization and Action

(1) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to be its agent in its name and on its behalf to exercise such rights or powers granted to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under this Agreement to the extent specifically provided herein and on the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment and authorization. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but, subject to Section 15.10, shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority of the Lenders and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to liability in such capacity or which could result in the Agent’s incurring any costs and expenses, without provision being made for indemnity of the Agent by the Lenders against any loss, liability, cost or expense incurred, or to be incurred or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

(2) The Lenders agree that all decisions as to actions to be or not to be taken, as to consents or waivers to be given or not to be given, as to determinations to be made and otherwise in connection with this Agreement and the Documents, shall be made upon the decision of the Majority of the Lenders except in respect of a decision or determination where it is specifically provided in this Agreement that “all of the Lenders”, “all Lenders” or “each of the Lenders” or words to similar effect, or the Agent alone, is to be responsible for same. Each of the Lenders shall be bound by and agrees to abide by and adopt all decisions made as aforesaid and covenants in all communications with the Borrower to act in concert and to join in the action, consent, waiver, determination or other matter decided as aforesaid.

(3) For certainty, the Agent is authorized to execute and deliver the Security, any Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any document or instrument in connection therewith and perform its obligations under or in respect thereof.

14.2 Procedure for Making Loans under the Syndicated Facility and the Term Loan Facility

(1) The Agent shall make Loans under the Syndicated Facility and the Term Loan Facility available to the Borrower as required hereunder by debiting the account of the Agent to which the Lenders’ Rateable Portions of such Loans have been credited in accordance with Section 2.11 (or causing such account to be debited) and, in the absence of other arrangements agreed to by the Agent and the Borrower in writing, by crediting the account of the Borrower or, at the expense of the Borrower, transferring (or causing to be transferred) like funds in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower as set forth in the Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice, as the case may be, in respect of each Loan; provided that the obligation of the Agent hereunder to effect such a transfer shall be limited to taking such steps as are commercially reasonable to implement such instructions, which steps once taken shall constitute conclusive and binding evidence that such funds were advanced hereunder in accordance with the provisions relating thereto and the Agent shall not be liable for any damages, claims or costs which may be suffered by the Borrower and occasioned by the failure of such Loan to reach the designated destination.

(2) Unless the Agent has been notified by a Lender at least one Banking Day prior to the Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, requested by the Borrower that such Lender will not make available to the Agent its Rateable Portion of such Loan, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion of the Loan available to the Agent on the Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Agent may, but shall be in no way obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Rateable Portion of a Loan available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such Lender’s Rateable Portion of such Loan and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection therewith together with interest thereon (at the rate payable hereunder by the Borrower in respect of such Loan) for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding such obligation if such Lender fails to so pay, the Borrower covenants and agrees that, without prejudice to any rights the Borrower may have against such Lender, it shall repay such amount to the Agent forthwith after demand therefor by the Agent. The amount payable to the Agent pursuant hereto shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by the Agent to such Lender and the Borrower (which certificate shall contain reasonable details of how the amount payable is calculated) and shall be conclusive and binding evidence thereof, in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender makes the payment to the Agent required herein, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Rateable Portion of the Loan for purposes of this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make its Rateable Portion of any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Rateable Portion of such Loan on the Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be; for certainty, without derogating from the operation of Section 14.14 or Section 15.2, no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender hereunder.

- 122 -

14.3 Remittance of Payments

Except for amounts payable to the Agent for its own account, forthwith after receipt of any repayment pursuant hereto or payment of interest or fees pursuant to Article 5 or payment pursuant to Article 7, the Agent shall remit to each Lender its Rateable Portion of such payment; provided that, if the Agent, on the assumption that it will receive on any particular date a payment of principal, interest or fees hereunder, remits to a Lender its Rateable Portion of such payment and the Borrower fails to make such payment, each of the Lenders on receipt of such remittance from the Agent agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand an amount equal to the remittance together with all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection therewith and interest thereon at the rate and calculated in the manner applicable to the Loan in respect of which such payment is made for each day from the date such amount is remitted to the Lenders without prejudice to any right such Lender may have against the Borrower. The exact amount of the repayment required to be made by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be as set forth in a certificate delivered by the Agent to each Lender, which certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

14.4 Redistribution of Payment

Each Lender agrees that:

(a) if the Lender exercises any security against or right of counter claim, set-off or banker’s lien or similar right with respect to the property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or if under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law it receives a secured claim and collateral for which it is, or is entitled to exercise any set-off against, a debt owed by it to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Lender shall apportion the amount thereof proportionately between:

(i) such Lender’s Rateable Portion of all outstanding Obligations owing by the Borrower, which amounts shall be applied in accordance with Section 14.4(b); and

(ii) amounts otherwise owed to such Lender by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,

provided that (i) any cash collateral account held by such Lender as collateral for a letter of credit (other than a Letter of Credit) which is Permitted Debt may be applied by such Lender to such amounts owed by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, to such Lender pursuant to such letter of credit and (ii) these provisions do not apply to:

(A) a right or claim which arises or exists in respect of a loan or other debt in respect of which the relevant Lender holds a Security Interest which is a Permitted Encumbrance;

(B) cash collateral provided, or the exercise of rights of counterclaim, set-off or banker’s lien or similar rights, in respect of Cash Management Arrangements provided by a Cash Manager;

(C) any reduction in amounts owing by a Lender (or its Hedging Affiliates) to the Borrower or a Subsidiary upon the termination of Lender Financial Instruments entered into with the relevant Lender (or its Hedging Affiliates); or

(D) any payment to which a Lender is entitled as a result of any credit default swap, credit derivative or other form of credit protection obtained by such Lender;

- 123 -

(b) if, in the aforementioned circumstances, a Lender, through the exercise of a right, or the receipt of a secured claim described in Section 14.4(a) above or otherwise, receives payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of Obligations due to it hereunder which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate Obligations due to the Lenders (having regard to the respective Rateable Portions of the Lenders), such Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase, on a non-recourse basis at par, and make payment for a participation (which shall be deemed to have been done simultaneously with receipt of such payment) in the outstanding Loans of the other Lender or Lenders so that their respective receipts shall be pro rata to their respective Rateable Portions; provided, however, that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower or any trustee, liquidator, interim receiver, receiver or receiver manager or person with analogous powers from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price paid for such participation shall be returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest unless the purchasing Lender is required to pay interest on such amount, in which case each selling Lender shall reimburse the purchasing Lender pro rata in relation to the amounts received by it. Such Lender shall exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claims; and

(c) if a Lender does, or is required to do, any act or thing permitted by Section 14.4(a) or (b) above, it shall promptly provide full particulars thereof to the Agent.

14.5 Duties and Obligations

Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees (and, for purposes hereof, the Agent shall be deemed to be contracting as agent and trustee for and on behalf of such persons) shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement except for its or their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(a) may assume that there has been no assignment or transfer by any means by the Lenders of their rights hereunder, unless and until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment thereof from such Lender and the Agent receives from the assignee an executed Assignment Agreement providing, inter alia, that such assignee is bound hereby as it would have been if it had been an original Lender party hereto;

(b) may consult with legal counsel (including receiving the opinions of Borrower’s counsel and Lenders’ Counsel required hereunder), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts;

(c) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, cable, telecopier, facsimile, electronic mail or other electronic means of communication which may generate a written record thereof) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties or by acting upon any representation or warranty of the Borrower made or deemed to be made hereunder;

(d) may assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary;

(e) may rely as to any matters of fact which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of any person upon a certificate signed by or on behalf of such person;

(f) shall not be bound to disclose to any other person any information relating to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other person if such disclosure would or might in its opinion constitute a breach of any applicable law, be in default of the provisions hereof or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any other person; and

- 124 -

(g) may refrain from exercising any right, power or discretion vested in it which would or might in its reasonable opinion be contrary to any applicable law or any directive or otherwise render it liable to any person, and may do anything which is in its reasonable opinion necessary to comply with such applicable law.

Further, the Agent (i) does not make any warranty or representation to any Lender nor shall it be responsible to any Lender for the accuracy or completeness of the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein or the data made available to any of the Lenders in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, or for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (ii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to enquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto.

14.7 Agent’s and Lenders’ Authorities

With respect to its Commitments and the Drawdowns, Rollovers, Conversions and Loans made by it as a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent. Subject to the express provisions hereof relating to the rights and obligations of the Agent and the Lenders in such capacities, the Agent and each Lender may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or any corporation or other entity owned or controlled by any of them and any person which may do business with any of them without any duties to account therefor to the Agent or the other Lenders and, in the case of the Agent, all as if it was not the Agent hereunder.

14.8 Lender Credit Decision

It is understood and agreed by each Lender that it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it is engaged in the business of making and evaluating the risks associated with commercial revolving loans or term loans, or both, to corporations similar to the Borrower, that it can bear the economic risks related to the transaction contemplated hereby, that it has had access to all information deemed necessary by it in making such decision (provided that this representation shall not impair its rights against the Borrower) and that it is entering into this Agreement in the ordinary course of its commercial lending business. Accordingly, each Lender confirms with the Agent that it has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the Agent (a) to check or enquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Borrower or any other person under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions herein contemplated (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter distributed to such Lender by the Agent), or (b) to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that a copy of this Agreement has been made available to it for review and each Lender acknowledges that it is satisfied with the form and substance of this Agreement. Each Lender hereby covenants and agrees that, subject to Section 14.4, it will not make any arrangements with the Borrower for the satisfaction of any Loans or other Obligations without the consent of all the other Lenders.

- 125 -

14.9 Indemnification of Agent

The Lenders hereby agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments as a proportion of the aggregate of all outstanding Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in respect of this Agreement in its capacity as Agent; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Borrower subsequently repays all or a portion of such amounts to the Agent, then the Agent shall reimburse the Lenders their pro rata shares (according to the amounts paid by them in respect thereof) of the amounts received from the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its portion (determined as above) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preservation of any rights of the Agent or the Lenders under, or the enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

14.10 Successor Agent

The Agent may, as hereinafter provided, resign at any time by giving 45 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Lenders shall, after soliciting the views of the Borrower, have the right to appoint another Lender as a successor agent (the “Successor Agent”) who shall be acceptable to the Borrower, acting reasonably. If no Successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a Successor Agent who shall be a Lender acceptable to the Borrower, acting reasonably. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a Successor Agent, such Successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall continue to enure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it as Agent or in its capacity as Agent while it was Agent hereunder.

14.11 Taking and Enforcement of Remedies

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the remedies provided hereunder to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder are to be exercised not severally, but collectively by the Agent upon the decision of the Majority of the Lenders regardless of whether acceleration was made pursuant to Section 11.2. Notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to individually take any action with respect to any Credit Facility, including any acceleration under Section 11.2, but that any such action shall be taken only by the Agent with the prior written agreement or instructions of the Majority of the Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Agent, having been adequately indemnified against costs and expenses of so doing by the Lenders, shall fail to carry out any such instructions of a Majority of the Lenders, any Lender may do so on behalf of all Lenders and shall, in so doing, be entitled to the benefit of all protections given the Agent hereunder or elsewhere, and (ii) in the absence of instructions from the Majority of the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Agent the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders or any of them take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interests of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written consent being given by the Majority of the Lenders, or upon a Lender or the Agent taking action as aforesaid, it shall cooperate fully with the Lender or the Agent to the extent requested by the Lender or the Agent in the collective realization including and, if applicable, the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver or receiver and manager to act for their collective benefit. Each Lender covenants and agrees to do all acts and things and to make, execute and deliver all agreements and other instruments, including any instruments necessary to effect any registrations, so as to fully carry out the intent and purpose of this Section; and each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that, subject to Section 5.8, Section 9.2(b), Section 14.4 and Section 14.14, it has not heretofore and shall not seek, take, accept or receive any security for any of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower hereunder or under any other document, instrument, writing or agreement ancillary hereto and shall not enter into any agreement with any of the parties hereto or thereto relating in any manner whatsoever to the Credit Facilities, unless all of the Lenders shall at the same time obtain the benefit of any such security or agreement.

- 126 -

With respect to any enforcement, realization or the taking of any rights or remedies to enforce the rights of the Lenders hereunder, the Agent shall be a trustee for each Lender, and all monies received from time to time by the Agent in respect of the foregoing shall be held in trust and shall be trust assets within the meaning of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency legislation and shall be considered for the purposes of such legislation to be held separate and apart from the other assets of the Agent, and each Lender shall be entitled to their Rateable Portion of such monies. In its capacity as trustee, the Agent shall be obliged to exercise only the degree of care it would exercise in the conduct and management of its own business and in accordance with its usual practice concurrently employed or hereafter instituted for other substantial commercial loans.

14.12 Reliance Upon Agent

The Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document or other advice, statement or instruction provided to it by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, and the Borrower shall generally be entitled to deal with the Agent with respect to matters under this Agreement which the Agent is authorized to deal with without any obligation whatsoever to satisfy itself as to the authority of the Agent to act on behalf of the Lenders and without any liability whatsoever to the Lenders for relying upon any certificate, notice or other document or other advice, statement or instruction provided to it by the Agent, notwithstanding any lack of authority of the Agent to provide the same.

14.13 No Liability of Agent

The Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Document (unless such failure was caused, in whole or in part, by the Agent’s failure to observe or perform its obligations hereunder or under such other Document (as applicable)), or to any Lender on account of the failure of the Borrower or any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Document.

14.14 The Agent and Defaulting Lenders

(1) Each Defaulting Lender shall be required to provide to the Agent cash in an amount, as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent, as the case may be, in its discretion, equal to all obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, that are owing or may become owing pursuant to this Agreement, including such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to pay its Rateable Portion of any indemnification, reimbursement or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by the Borrower. Such cash shall be held by the Agent in one or more cash collateral accounts, which accounts shall be in the name of the Agent and shall not be required to be interest bearing. The Agent shall and shall be entitled to apply the foregoing cash in accordance with Section 14.14(3), in the case of amounts owing to the Agent.

(2) In addition to the indemnity and reimbursement obligations noted in Section 14.9, the Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder) rateably according to their respective Rateable Portions (and in calculating the Rateable Portion of a Lender, ignoring the Commitments of Defaulting Lenders) any amount that a Defaulting Lender fails to pay the Agent and which is due and owing to the Agent pursuant to Section 14.9. Each Defaulting Lender agrees to indemnify each other Lender for any amounts paid by such Lender and which would otherwise be payable by the Defaulting Lender.

- 127 -

(3) The Agent shall be entitled to set-off and/or withhold from any Defaulting Lender’s Rateable Portion of all payments received from the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender’s obligations to make payments and fund Loans required to be made by it and to purchase participations required to be purchased by it in each case under this Agreement and the other Documents. To the extent permitted by law, the Agent shall be entitled to withhold and deposit in one or more non-interest bearing cash collateral accounts in the name of the Agent all amounts (whether principal, interest, fees or otherwise) received by the Agent and due to a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement, for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, which amounts shall be used by the Agent:

(a) first, to reimburse the Agent for any amounts owing to it, in its capacity as Agent, by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to any Document;

(b) second, to the reimbursement, on a pro rata basis, of any indemnity amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 14.14(2);

(c) third, to repay on a pro rata basis the incremental portion of any Loans made by a Lender pursuant to Section 15.2(4) in order to fund a shortfall created by a Defaulting Lender and, upon receipt of such repayment, each such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Defaulting Lender such incremental portion of such Loans;

(d) fourth, to cash collateralize all other obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the Agent owing pursuant to this Agreement in such amount as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent, in its discretion, including such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to pay its Rateable Portion of any indemnification, reimbursement or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by the Borrower; and

(e) fifth, to fund from time to time the Defaulting Lender’s Rateable Portion of Loans,

provided that any such funds in excess of such Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations shall be paid to the Defaulting Lender.

(4) For greater certainty and in addition to the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender (including a Defaulting Lender ) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with amounts payable by the Borrower to a Defaulting Lender and received and deposited by the Agent in a cash collateral account and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, save and except for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

14.16 Erroneous Payments by the Agent

(1) If the Agent notifies a Lender or other Secured Party, or any person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party under or pursuant to any of the Secured Documents (any such Lender, other Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under the immediately succeeding clause (2)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted or paid to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, other Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender or other Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Banking Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of (x) in respect of an Erroneous Payment in United States Dollars, the Federal Funds Rate and, in respect of an Erroneous Payment in Canadian Dollars at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the overnight rate at which Canadian Dollars may be borrowed by the Agent in the interbank market in an amount comparable to such Erroneous Payment (as determined by the Agent) and (y) a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or prevailing market practice for interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 14.16(1) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error; provided that, any such interest payable by such Lender or person shall not be reimbursable by the Borrower under Article 13 for any reason.

(2) Without limiting the immediately preceding Section 14.16(1), each Lender or other Secured Party, or any person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party under or pursuant to any of the Secured Documents, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, paid, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(a) (i) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent express written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (ii) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(b) such Lender or other Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Banking Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 15.16(2).

(3) Each Lender or other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set-off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or other Secured Party under any Secured Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender or other Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under the immediately preceding Section 14.16(1) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

- 129 -

(4) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with the immediately preceding Section 14.16(1), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not any of its Commitments) under any of the applicable Credit Facilities with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Facilities”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not any of its Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Facilities, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and any of its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Subject to Section 15.6, the Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender under any of the Credit Facilities and such Commitments under such Credit Facilities shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or other Secured Party under the applicable Secured Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(5) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from (i) the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (ii) the proceeds of realization from the enforcement of one or more of the Secured Documents against or in respect of one or more of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that, in each case, such funds were received by the Agent for the purpose of discharging such Secured Obligations.

(6) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value”, “good consideration” for the Erroneous Payment or change of position by such Payment Recipient, any defense that the intent of the Agent was that such Payment Recipient retain the Erroneous Payment in all events, or any doctrine or defense similar to any of the foregoing.

(7) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 15.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, or any assignment or transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Affiliate thereof the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Secured Document.

(8) For purposes of this Section 14.16, each Lender:

(a) agrees it is executing and delivering this Agreement with respect to this Section 15.16 both on its own behalf and as agent for and on behalf of its Affiliates referred to in this Section 14.16 and any person receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Secured Documents on behalf of such Lender or any of such Affiliates;

(b) represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that its Affiliates referred to in this Section 15.16 and any person receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Secured Documents on behalf of such Lender or any of such Affiliates are bound by the provisions of this Section 14.16; and

- 130 -

(c) agrees that any matter or thing done or omitted to be done by such Lender, its Affiliates, or any person receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Secured Documents on behalf of such Lender or any of such Affiliates which are the subject of this Section 15.16 will be binding upon such Lender and such Lender does hereby indemnify and save the Agent and its Affiliates harmless from any and all losses, expenses, claims, demands or other liabilities of the Agent and its Affiliates resulting from the failure of such Lender, its Affiliates or such persons to comply with their obligations under and in respect of this Section 15.16, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the limitations in Section 15.9.

(9) Except pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment or the exercise of any Erroneous Payments Subrogation Rights (or any equivalent equitable subrogation rights), the Borrower shall not have any liability to the Agent for any Erroneous Payment or any interest, loss, cost or damages related thereto or arising therefrom under any provision of this Agreement or any other Document or under any legal principle or theory, whether arising by law or in equity.

(4) If the Agent has actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at the time that the Agent receives (a) a Drawdown Notice, (b) a Rollover Notice that relates to a Letter of Credit, or (c) a Conversion Notice that will result in a currency conversion, then each other Lender shall fund its Rateable Portion of such affected Loan (and, in calculating such Rateable Portion, the Agent shall ignore the Commitments of each such Defaulting Lender); provided that, for certainty, no Lender shall be obligated by this Section to make or provide Loans in excess of its Commitment. If the Agent acquires actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at any time after the Agent received (a) a Drawdown Notice, (b) a Rollover Notice that relates to a Letter of Credit, or (c) a Conversion Notice that will result in a currency conversion, then the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such disclosure). Each Defaulting Lender agrees to indemnify each other Lender for any amounts paid by such Lender under this Section 15.2(4) and which would otherwise have been paid by the Defaulting Lender if its Commitment had been included in determining the Rateable Portions of such affected Loans.

(5) If any Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, then, upon becoming aware of the same, the Agent shall notify the other Lenders and (in accordance with the written direction of the Agent) such Lender (which has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender) shall purchase, and the other Lenders shall on a rateable basis sell and assign to such Lender, portions of such Loans equal in total to such Lender’s Rateable Portion thereof without regard to Section 15.2(4).

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable therein, without prejudice to or limitation of any other rights or remedies available under the laws of any jurisdiction where property or assets of the Borrower may be found.

15.5 Benefit of the Agreement

This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

15.6 Assignment

(1) Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of each of the Borrower and the Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, assign an interest in its Commitments, its Rateable Portion of the Loans and its rights under the Documents; provided that: (a) such consent of the Borrower shall not be required during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (b) such consents shall not be required in the case of assignments to another Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), by a Lender to an Affiliate thereof or by a Lender to an Approved Fund; (c) except during the continuance of an Event of Default or except with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, no Lender shall assign an interest in its Commitment if the effect of the same would be to have a Lender with a Commitment of less than [Redacted] (such amount to be reduced in proportion to any partial reductions in each Credit Facility); and (d) except in the case of an assignment by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.21(1)(c)(v), it shall be a precondition to any such assignment that the contemplated assignee Lender shall have paid to the Agent, for the Agent’s own account, a transfer fee of [Redacted]. Except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund (in which case the assigning Lender shall remain liable for the obligations so assigned), upon any such assignment, the assigning Lender shall have no further obligation hereunder with respect to such interest. Upon any such assignment, the assigning Lender, the assignee Lender, the Agent and, if applicable, the Borrower shall execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement. Except as permitted by Section 9.2(k), the Borrower shall not assign its rights or obligations hereunder, under the Credit Facilities or under any other Document, without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.

(2) Any Lender may at any time grant a Security Interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any Security Interest to secure obligations of such Lender to a U.S. Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and Section 15.6(1) shall apply to any realization by any such secured party of any such Security Interest, and this Section shall apply to any such grant of a Security Interest; provided, that no such grant of a Security Interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any holder of such Security Interest for such Lender as a party hereto.

(3) The Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 15.3 a copy of each executed Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to the Loans of such Lender) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent.

- 135 -

15.7 Participations

Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, grant one or more participations in its Commitment and its Rateable Portion of any one or more of the Loans to other persons, provided that the granting of such a participation: (a) shall be at the Lender’s own cost; (b) shall not affect the obligations of such Lender hereunder nor shall it increase the costs to the Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Documents; and (c) shall not provide the participant with any right to approve the provision by the Lender of any consent, waiver or approval hereunder or require the Borrower to deal directly with such participant. No such participant shall by virtue of such participations be party to this Agreement. The Borrower also agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.5 and Section 12.4 with respect to its interest in the Commitment and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such participant were such Lender; provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any amount which the transferor Lender would not have been entitled to receive in such circumstances nor any greater amount pursuant to either such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of such amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such participant had no such transfer occurred. For the purposes of this Section 15.7, each Lender from which a participant purchased the related participation shall act as agent on behalf of such participant to the extent required so that such participant shall receive the benefit of this Section 15.7.

15.8 Severability

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

15.9 Whole Agreement

This Agreement and the other Documents constitute the whole and entire agreement between the parties hereto regarding the subject matter hereof and thereof and cancel and supersede any prior agreements (including any commitment letters), undertakings, declarations, commitments, representations, written or oral, in respect thereof.

15.10 Amendments and Waivers

Any provision of this Agreement and the other Documents may be amended only if the Borrower and the Majority of the Lenders so agree in writing and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, may be waived only if the Majority of the Lenders (excluding any Defaulting Lenders) so agree in writing, but:

(a) an amendment or waiver (or a consent to like effect) which changes or relates to:

(i) the amount or type of the Credit Facilities, the types of Loans available hereunder (or decreases in the periods of notice for Drawdowns, Conversions, Rollovers or voluntary prepayment of Loans) or any Lender’s Commitment;

(ii) decreases in the rates of, or deferral of the dates of payment of, interest, Letter of Credit fees or standby fees, decreases in the amount of principal owing hereunder or deferral of the dates of mandatory repayments of principal owing hereunder;

(iii) decreases in the amount of, or deferral of the dates of payment of, other fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than fees (which are not issuance fees in respect of Letters of Credit) payable for the account of Agent or the Operating Lender, which may be increased or decreased with the written agreement of the Agent or the Operating Lender, as the case may be);

(iv) the definition of “Majority of the Lenders”;

(vi) any provision hereof contemplating or requiring consent, approval or agreement of “all Lenders”, “all of the Lenders”, “each of the Lenders” or similar expressions or permitting waiver of conditions or covenants or agreements by “all Lenders”, “all of the Lenders”, “each of the Lenders” or similar expressions;

(vii) Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.15, 2.19, 2.21, 2.22, 2.23, 11.7, 11.8, 11.9, 11.10 or 14.4;

(viii) (viii) the release or discharge of, or any material amendment or waiver of, any Security, except to the extent provided for or contemplated hereunder (for certainty, the discharge or release of the Collateral from the Security which is not already provided for in the Documents, as opposed to the release or discharge or material amendment or waiver of the Security itself, shall only require the approval of the Majority of the Lenders, unless the Collateral being released constitutes all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries);

(ix) the conditions precedent to Drawdowns; or

(x) this Section, shall require the agreement or waiver of all the Lenders (excluding any Defaulting Lenders (except in the case of paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (v) or (viii)) and also (in the case of an amendment) of the other parties hereto (excluding any Defaulting Lenders);

(b) an amendment or waiver (or a consent to like effect) which changes or relates to the rights and/or obligations of the Agent shall also require the agreement of the Agent thereto; and

(c) an amendment or waiver (or a consent to like effect) which changes or relates to the rights and/or obligations of the Operating Lender shall also require the agreement of the Operating Lender thereto, provided that an amendment or waiver which only relates to the Operating Facility and/or the rights and/or obligations of the Operating Lender may be made with the consent of the Operating Lender alone.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 15.10 or any other provision of this Agreement:

(a) any provision of this Agreement or any other Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Agent to (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Agent and the Borrower) or (ii) effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature, and such amendment shall be deemed approved by the Lenders if the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Banking Days’ prior written notice of such change and the Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Banking Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority of the Lenders stating that the Majority of the Lenders object to such amendment; and

(b) in connection with the use or administration of SOFR or Term SOFR or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent (including as directed by the Operating Lender with respect to the Operating Facility) will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and technical, administrative or operational amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Documents (or to enter into additional Documents, as the Agent deems appropriate) in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Conforming Change or to otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 12.1 or Section 12.7 in accordance with the terms thereof and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Document, any such amendments, modifications or additional Documents will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Document. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any such amendments, modifications or additional Documents.

Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the instance and for the purpose for which it is given.

15.15 Electronic Communications

(1) Any demand, notice or communication to be made or given hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including email and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular demands, notices or communications.

- 138 -

(2) Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, demands, notices and other communications sent to an email 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 email or other written acknowledgement), and demands, notices or communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its email address of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor, provided that, if such demand, notice, email or other communication is not sent within normal business hours of the recipient, such demand, notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Banking Day.

No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any Lender or any other person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Subsidiary’s or the Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof provides to the Agent pursuant to any Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 15.16, including through the Platform.

15.17 Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Customer Laws

(1) Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of Anti-Money Laundering/ Anti- Terrorist Financing Laws and “know your client” Applicable Laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML/KYC Legislation”), it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address of each such person and such other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each such person in accordance with AML/KYC Legislation (including, information regarding such person’s directors, authorized signing officers, or other persons in control of each such person). The Borrower shall promptly provide and cause its Subsidiaries to provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender), or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender or the Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML/KYC Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(2) If, upon the written request of any Lender, the Agent has ascertained the identity of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any authorized signatories of such person for the purposes of applicable AML/KYC Legislation on such Lender’s behalf, then the Agent:

(a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for such Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between such Lender and the Agent within the meaning of applicable AML/KYC Legislation; and

(b) shall provide to such Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

15.18 No Fiduciary Duty

The Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 15.18, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its shareholders and/or its Affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its shareholders or its Affiliates, on the other hand. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of the Borrower, its shareholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its shareholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Documents and (ii) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, shareholders, creditors or any other person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transactions or the process leading thereto.

15.19 Credit Agreement Governs

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the other Documents, the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency, shall govern and prevail.

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

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

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

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

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

- 140 -

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

15.21 Counterparts

This Agreement and each other Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by PDF or other scanned copy by electronic mail, and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or any such other Document to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement of any Document by PDF or by otherwise sending a scanned copy by electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such Document.

15.22 Electronic Execution

The words “execution,” “execute”, “executed”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement, any other Document or in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement or any other Document and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in (a) Parts 2 and 3 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada), the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (Ontario), the Electronic Transactions Act (British Columbia), the Electronic Transactions Act (Alberta), or any other similar laws based on the Uniform Electronic Commerce Act of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada or (b) any other applicable law. The Agent may, in its discretion, require that any such documents and signatures executed electronically or delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature executed electronically or delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission.
