Each Accordion Notice shall specify, in respect of the proposed Accordion Increase: (i) the relevant Credit Facility to be increased, (ii) the aggregate amount of the proposed Accordion Increase in respect of such Credit Facility (which shall be in compliance with the first sentence of this Section 2.2(a)), (iii) the Lenders and / or proposed new Lenders (each, an “Accordion Lender” and, collectively, the “Accordion Lenders”) that have agreed to increase their respective Individual Commitments or accept initial Individual Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of such Credit Facility in the aggregate amount of the requested Accordion Increase, (iv) such Accordion Lender’s proposed commitment in respect of the requested Accordion Increase (each, an “Individual Accordion Commitment”), and (v) if required by any Accordion Lender, an increase to the Applicable Margin for Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances and Letters, which increase shall not exceed 50 basis points (an “Applicable Margin Increase”), together with the corresponding increase to the standby fee, which shall be equal to 20% of the Applicable Margin Increase for Bankers’ Acceptances, Euribor Loans, Term Benchmark Loans and Letters.

If the Borrowers deliver an Accordion Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting an increase of the RT 2 Facility, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Lender and the Overdraft Lender and shall request the Issuing Lender and the Overdraft Lender to approve such increase.

Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Overdraft Lender) of an Accordion Agreement executed by the Borrowers and an Accordion Lender that is so acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Overdraft Lender), the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Overdraft Lender) shall promptly execute and deliver such Accordion Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of such Accordion Agreement, such Accordion Lender shall become a party to this agreement as a Lender and the corresponding increase in the Credit Limit of the Credit Facility specified in such Accordion Notice shall, subject to Section 2.2(f), become effective on the Accordion Effective Date.

Each Lender agrees that it will be bound by the terms of each such Accordion Agreement so completed and executed by the Administrative Agent.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the new Individual Commitments or increased Individual Commitments, as the case may be, and the increased Credit Limit with respect to the RT 2 Credit Facility, the NRT 1 Facility or NRT 2 Facility, as applicable, after giving effect to an Accordion Increase requested in an Accordion Notice pursuant to this Section 2.2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 9.6(b) with respect to the funding of Loans and Bankers’ Acceptances and reimbursing with respect to Letters in accordance with each relevant Lender’s Pro Rata Share, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reallocate the funding or reimbursement obligations among the relevant Lenders or the outstanding credit under such Credit Facility (any such reallocation of outstanding credit to be effected by way of participations) in order to ensure, to the greatest extent practicable, that after such increase the aggregate amount of credit extended hereunder by each Lender coincides with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of credit extended under such Credit Facility by all of the relevant Lenders, provided that no such allocation shall result in the aggregate amount of credit extended hereunder by any Lender under such Credit Facility exceeding such Lender’s Individual Commitment with respect to such Credit Facility. For purposes of this Section 2.2(e), a reference to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include a reference to any Accordion Lender specified in such Accordion Notice that was not an existing Lender at the time such Accordion Notice was delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agrees that the amendments specified in Sections 2.2(c) and 2.2(d) and the following amendments will be made to give effect to an Accordion Increase requested in an Accordion Notice and will become effective as of the Accordion Effective Date without the requirement for any further documentation, consents or other action by or on behalf of such Person: (i) to the extent such Accordion Notice requested an Accordion Increase to the RT 2 Facility, any reference to “RT 2 Credit Limit” shall be a reference to the RT 2 Credit Limit as increased by the amount of such Accordion Increase, (ii) to the extent such Accordion Notice requested an Accordion Increase to the NRT 1 Facility, any reference to “NRT 1 Credit Limit” shall be a reference to the NRT 1 Credit Limit as increased by the amount of such Accordion Increase, (iii) to the extent such Accordion Notice requested an Accordion Increase to the NRT 2 Facility, any reference to “NRT 2 Credit Limit” shall be a reference to the NRT 2 Credit Limit as increased by the amount of such Accordion Increase, and (iv) any reference in any Loan Document to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include a reference to any Accordion Lender specified in such Accordion Notice that was not an existing Lender at the time such Accordion Notice was delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders severally agree to extend credit to the Borrowers from time to time provided that the aggregate amount of credit extended by each Lender under a particular Credit Facility shall not at any time exceed the Individual Commitment of such Lender with respect to such Credit Facility and further provided that, subject to Section 9.8, the aggregate amount of credit outstanding under a particular Credit Facility shall not at any time exceed the Credit Limit with respect to such Credit Facility. All credit requested by a Borrower under a Credit Facility shall be made available to such Borrower contemporaneously by each Lender that has an Individual Commitment with respect to such Credit Facility. Each Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of each credit, whether such credit is extended by way of drawdown, rollover or conversion. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to provide its Pro Rata Share of any credit nor shall the Individual Commitment of any Lender with respect to a Credit Facility be increased as a result of any such default of another Lender in extending credit under such Credit Facility. The failure of any Lender to make available to a Borrower its Pro Rata Share of any credit under a Credit Facility shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Borrower its Pro Rata Share of such credit.

2.5 Reduction of Credit Limits.

The Borrowers may, from time to time and at any time, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent but without penalty, permanently reduce either RT Credit Limit to the extent it is not being utilized.

The amount of a NRT Credit Limit will be permanently reduced at the time of and by the amount of any prepayment or repayment under such NRT Facility pursuant to Section 9.1, 9.2 or 9.8. On the Closing Date, the amount of the NRT 1 Credit Limit will be permanently reduced to an amount equal to the amount of the credit extended to the Borrowers under the NRT 1 Facility on the Closing Date, but may subsequently be increased pursuant to Section 2.2. On the Funding Date, the amount of the NRT 2 Credit Limit will be permanently reduced to an amount equal to the amount of the credit extended to the Borrowers under the NRT 2 Facility on the Funding Date, but may subsequently be increased pursuant to Section 2.2. Any repayment of outstanding credit which forms part of any conversion from one type of credit to another type of credit under Article 6 shall not cause any reduction in the amount of the relevant Credit Limit. Upon any reduction of a Credit Limit, the Individual Commitment of each Lender with respect to the relevant Credit Facility shall thereupon be reduced by an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such reduction of such Credit Limit.

Article 3
GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CREDITS

3.1 Types of Credit Availments.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may obtain credit under the Credit Facilities as follows:

(a) a Borrower may obtain credit under either RT Facility by way of one or more Prime Rate Loans, Base Rate Canada Loans, Euribor Loans, Term Benchmark Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans and Letters; and

- 62 - 

(b) a Borrower may obtain credit under either NRT Facility by way of one or more Prime Rate Loans, Base Rate Canada Loans, Euribor Loans, Term Benchmark Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans;

provided, however, that the aggregate amount of credit extended by way of Letters under the RT Facilities shall not at any time exceed U.S.$50,000,000 or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof.

3.2 Funding of Loans.

Each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Branch of Account its Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of each Loan to the relevant Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of the extension of credit. The Administrative Agent shall, upon fulfilment by the Borrowers of the terms and conditions set forth in Article 12, make such funds available to the relevant Borrower by 3:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date of the extension of credit by crediting the relevant Designated Account. Unless the Administrative Agent has been notified by a Lender at least one Banking Day prior to the date of the extension of credit that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion of the Loan available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the extension of credit in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent has made such assumption, to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the Loan available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith together with interest thereon at the then prevailing interbank rate for each day from the date such amount is made available to the relevant Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding such obligation, if such Lender fails so to pay, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any rights that the Borrowers might have against such Lender, repay such amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent. The amount payable by each Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Lender and the Borrowers (which certificate shall contain reasonable details of how the amount payable is calculated) and shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amount payable. If such Lender makes the payment to the Administrative Agent required herein, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan for purposes of this agreement and shall entitle the Lender to all rights and remedies against the Borrowers in respect of such Loan.

3.3 Failure of Lender to Fund Loan.

If any Defaulting Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loan as required and the Administrative Agent has not funded pursuant to Section 3.2, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such failure by the Defaulting Lender to the Borrowers and the other relevant Lenders and such notice shall state that any relevant Lender may make available to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Loan (but in no way shall any other Lender or the Administrative Agent be obliged to do so) in the place and stead of the Defaulting Lender. If more than one relevant Lender gives notice that it is prepared to make funds available in the place and stead of a Defaulting Lender in such circumstances and the aggregate of the funds which such Lenders (herein collectively called the “Contributing Lenders” and individually called the “Contributing Lender”) are prepared to make available exceeds the amount of the advance which the Defaulting Lender failed to make, then each Contributing Lender shall be deemed to have given notice that it is prepared to make available its pro rata share of such advance based on the Contributing Lenders’ relative commitments to advance in such circumstances. If any Contributing Lender makes funds available in the place and stead of a Defaulting Lender in such circumstances, then the Defaulting Lender shall pay to any Contributing Lender making the funds available in its place and stead, forthwith on demand, any amount advanced on its behalf together with interest thereon at the then prevailing interbank rate for each day from the date of advance to the date of payment, against payment by the Contributing Lender making the funds available of all interest received in respect of the Loan from the Borrowers. In addition to interest as aforesaid, the Borrowers shall pay all amounts owing by the Borrowers to the Defaulting Lender hereunder (with respect to the amounts advanced by the Contributing Lenders on behalf of the Defaulting Lender) to the Contributing Lenders until such time as the Defaulting Lender pays to the Administrative Agent for the Contributing Lenders all amounts advanced by the Contributing Lenders on behalf of the Defaulting Lender. For purposes of this agreement, “the then prevailing interbank rate” means,

(i) if the relevant availment is denominated in U.S. dollars, the Federal Funds Effective Rate;

(ii) if the relevant availment is denominated in Canadian dollars, the BA Schedule I Rate for Bankers’ Acceptances having a term of one month; and

(iii) if the relevant amount is denominated in Euros, the Euribor-Reference Bank’s Rate.

3.4 Funding of Bankers’ Acceptances.

(a) If the Administrative Agent receives a Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice requesting a drawdown of, a rollover of or a conversion into Bankers’ Acceptances, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the relevant Lenders, prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the second Banking Day prior to the date of such extension of credit, of such request and of each relevant Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such extension of credit. The Administrative Agent shall also at such time notify the Borrowers of each relevant Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such extension of credit. Subject to Section 3.5, each relevant Lender shall, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of each extension of credit by way of Bankers’ Acceptance, accept drafts of the relevant Borrower which are presented to it for acceptance and which have an aggregate face amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the total extension of credit being made available by way of Bankers’ Acceptances on such date, as advised by the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall purchase the Bankers’ Acceptances which it has accepted for a purchase price equal to the BA Discounted Proceeds therefor. Each Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any and all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased by it.

(b) The Borrowers hereby waive presentment for payment of Bankers’ Acceptances by the Lenders and any defence to payment of amounts due to a Lender in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance which might exist by reason of such Bankers’ Acceptance being held at maturity by the Lender which accepted it and agrees not to claim from such Lenders any days of grace for the payment at maturity of Bankers’ Acceptances.

(c) In the case of a drawdown by way of Bankers’ Acceptance, each Lender shall, forthwith after the acceptance of drafts of the relevant Borrower as aforesaid, make available to the Administrative Agent the BA Proceeds with respect to the Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by it. The Administrative Agent shall, upon fulfilment by the Borrowers of the terms and conditions set forth in Article 12, make such BA Proceeds available to the relevant Borrower on the date of such extension of credit by crediting the relevant Designated Account. In the case of a rollover of or conversion into Bankers’ Acceptances, each Lender shall retain the Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by it and shall not be required to make any funds available to the Administrative Agent for deposit to the relevant Designated Account; however, forthwith after the acceptance of drafts of the relevant Borrower as aforesaid, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the acceptance fees in respect of such Bankers’ Acceptances calculated in accordance with Section 7.6 plus the amount by which the aggregate face amount of such Bankers’ Acceptances exceeds the aggregate BA Discounted Proceeds with respect thereto.

(d) Any Bankers’ Acceptance may, at the option of a Borrower, be executed in advance by or on behalf of such Borrower (as otherwise provided herein), by mechanically reproduced or facsimile signatures of any two officers of such Borrower who are properly so designated and authorized by such Borrower from time to time. Any Bankers’ Acceptance so executed and delivered by such Borrower to the Lenders shall be valid and shall bind such Borrower and may be dealt with by the Lenders to all intents and purposes as if the Bankers’ Acceptance had been signed in the executing officers’ own handwriting.

(e) The relevant Borrower shall notify the Lenders as to those officers of such Borrower whose signatures may be reproduced and used to execute Bankers’ Acceptances in the manner provided in Section 3.4(d). Bankers’ Acceptances with the mechanically reproduced or facsimile signatures of designated officers may be used by the Lenders and shall continue to be valid, notwithstanding the death, termination of employment or termination of authorization of either or both of such officers or any other circumstance.

(f) The Borrowers hereby indemnify and agree to hold harmless the Lenders against and from all losses, damages, expenses and other liabilities caused by or attributable to the use of the mechanically reproduced or facsimile signature instead of the original signature of an authorized officer of a Borrower on a Banker’s Acceptance prepared, executed, issued and accepted pursuant to this agreement, except to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due to the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Lenders.

(g) Each of the Lenders agrees that, in respect of the safekeeping of executed drafts of any Borrower which are delivered to it for acceptance hereunder, it shall exercise the same degree of care which it gives to its own property, provided that it shall not be deemed to be an insurer thereof.

(h) All Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by a particular Lender shall, at the option of such Lender, be issued in the form of depository bills made payable originally to and deposited with The Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada).

(i) In order to facilitate the issuance of Bankers’ Acceptances pursuant to this agreement, each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, and appoints each Lender as such Borrower’s attorney, to complete, sign and endorse drafts or depository bills (each such executed draft or bill being referred to in this clause (i) as a “BA Draft”) on its behalf in handwritten form or by facsimile or mechanical signature or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice and, once so completed, signed and endorsed to accept them as Bankers’ Acceptances under this agreement and then if applicable, purchase, discount or negotiate such Bankers’ Acceptances in accordance with the provisions of this agreement. BA Drafts so completed, signed, endorsed and negotiated on behalf of a Borrower by such Lender shall bind such Borrower as fully and effectively as if so performed by an authorized officer of such Borrower. Each draft of a Bankers’ Acceptance completed, signed or endorsed by a Lender shall mature on the last day of the term thereof.

(j) If at any time on or prior to the proposed first day of the term of a proposed issue of Bankers’ Acceptances the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be made acting reasonably and in good faith, but shall be conclusive and bind the Borrowers) that:

(i) the issuance or discount of any Bankers’ Acceptances for the proposed term thereof has been made impossible or impracticable by reason of the occurrence of any event affecting the Canadian money markets or any national or international financial, political, terrorist or economic event;

(ii) there does not exist a normal money market in Canada for the purchase and sale of bankers’ acceptances or such money market has been disrupted by the occurrence of an extraordinary event or an act of terrorism; or

(iii) the Administrative Agent is unable to determine CDOR for the proposed term of the proposed issue of Bankers’ Acceptances,

(in this clause (j), a “BA Disruption Event”) then the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and each Lender of such determination. Thereafter, and until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the BA Disruption Event no longer exists or applies, the right of the Borrowers to request an extension of credit by way of Bankers’ Acceptances shall be suspended and any Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice with respect to any proposed issue of Bankers’ Acceptances that has not yet been made shall be deemed to be replaced by a Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice for a Prime Rate Loan in the same amount as the requested issue of Bankers’ Acceptances.

3.5 BA Equivalent Loans.

If, in the sole judgement of a Lender, such Lender is unable to extend credit by way of Bankers’ Acceptances in accordance with this agreement, such Lender shall give an irrevocable notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers prior to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of the requested credit extension and shall make available to the relevant Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of such requested credit extension a Canadian dollar loan (a “BA Equivalent Loan”) in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the total credit to be extended by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, such BA Equivalent Loan to be funded in the same manner as a Loan is funded pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3. Such BA Equivalent Loan shall have the same term as the Bankers’ Acceptances for which it is a substitute and shall bear such rate of interest per annum throughout the term thereof as shall permit such Lender to obtain the same effective rate as if such Lender had accepted and purchased a Bankers’ Acceptance at the same acceptance fee and pricing at which a Non-Schedule I Lender would have accepted and purchased such Bankers’ Acceptance at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date such BA Equivalent Loan is made, on the basis that, and the Borrowers hereby agree that, for such a BA Equivalent Loan, interest shall be payable in advance on the date of the extension of credit by the Lender deducting the interest payable in respect thereof from the principal amount of such BA Equivalent Loan. All BA Equivalent Loans to be made by a particular Lender shall, at the option of such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of a depository note made payable originally to and deposited with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada).

3.6 Inability to Fund U.S. Dollar Advances in Canada.

If a Lender determines in good faith, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers, and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting financial markets inside or outside Canada, deposits of United States dollars are unavailable to such Lender in Canada, (ii) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided in the definition of “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate” or Alternate Base Rate Canada, as the case may be, (iii) the making or continuation of United States dollar advances in Canada has been made impracticable by the occurrence of a contingency which materially and adversely affects the funding of the advances at any interest rate computed on the basis of Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Alternate Base Rate Canada, as the case may be, or by reason of a change since the date hereof in any Applicable Law, guideline or order (whether or not having the force of law but, if not having the force of law, one with which a responsible Canadian chartered bank would comply) or in the interpretation thereof by any Official Body affecting such Lender or any relevant financial market, which results in Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Alternate Base Rate Canada, as the case may be, no longer representing the effective cost to such Lender of deposits in such market for a relevant Interest Period, or (iv) any change to present law or any future law, regulation, order, treaty or official directive (whether or not having the force of law but, if not having the force of law, one with which a responsible Canadian chartered bank would comply) or any change therein or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body has made it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain or give effect to its obligations in respect of United States dollar advances in Canada as contemplated herein, then

(a) the right of the Borrowers to obtain any credit in United States dollars by way of Base Rate Canada Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended until such Lender determines, acting reasonably, that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and such Lender so notifies the Borrowers;

(b) if any credit in United States dollars by way of Base Rate Canada Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as applicable, is not yet outstanding, any applicable Drawdown Notice shall be cancelled and the advance requested therein shall not be made;

(c) if any Term Benchmark Loan is already outstanding at any time when the right of the Borrowers to obtain credit by way of a Term Benchmark Loan is suspended, it shall, subject to the Borrowers having the right to obtain credit by way of a Base Rate Canada Loan at such time, be converted to a Base Rate Canada Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (or on such earlier date as may be required to comply with any applicable law) or, if the Borrowers do not have the right to obtain credit by way of a Base Rate Canada Loan at such time, such Term Benchmark Loan shall be converted to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (or on such earlier date as may be required to comply with any applicable law) in the principal amount equal to the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of such Term Benchmark Loan; and

(d) if any Base Rate Canada Loan is already outstanding at any time when the right of the Borrowers to obtain credit by way of a Base Rate Canada Loan is suspended, it shall, subject to the Borrowers having the right to obtain credit by way of a Term Benchmark Loan at such time, be immediately converted to a Term Benchmark Loan in the principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Base Rate Canada Loan and having an Interest Period of one month or, if the Borrowers do not have the right to obtain credit by way of a Term Benchmark Loan at such time, it shall be immediately converted to a Prime Rate Loan in the principal amount equal to the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of the Base Rate Canada Loan.

In the event that any of the events listed above results in a limitation of the amount of loans made by such Lender which can bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Alternate Base Rate Canada, as the case may be, or the amount of United States dollar advances which such Lender can make in Canada, such Lender agrees to use good faith to allocate, in reasonable fashion, the available amounts amongst its borrowers as is reasonably practicable.

(iv) any Draft, statement or other document presented under any such Letter proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(c) Overdraft Loans shall be made by the Overdraft Lender alone, without assignment to or participation by the other Lenders.

(d) The aggregate principal amount of the Overdraft Loans shall not exceed U.S.$60,000,000 or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof.

(e) If either Borrower shall request a drawdown under the RT 2 Facility other than under this Section (in this clause (e), a “Syndicated Drawdown”) and the Overdraft Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Syndicated Drawdown would cause the Overdraft Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all Syndicated Loans together with its Pro Rata Share of the Overdraft Loans then outstanding to exceed the Overdraft Lender’s Individual Commitment with respect to the RT 2 Facility then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have given a repayment notice notifying the Administrative Agent of a repayment of the Overdraft Loans to the extent of such excess (without any bonus or penalty being payable in respect thereof) and the Borrowers shall make such repayment on the requested date of such Syndicated Drawdown.

(f) The Borrowers may make repayments of Overdraft Loans (together with accrued interest thereon) by deposit to the applicable account of the Borrowers from time to time without penalty.

(g) All interest payments and principal repayments of or in respect of Overdraft Loans shall be solely for the account of the Overdraft Lender. Subject to Sections 3.14(h) and 3.14(i), all costs and expenses relating to the Overdraft Loans shall be solely for the account of the Overdraft Lender.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained or contrary to the provisions of Applicable Law, (a) if a Default occurs and is continuing or (b) if the Overdraft Lender so requires, and there are then outstanding any Overdraft Loans, then, effective on the day of notice to that effect to the other Lenders with Individual Commitments with respect to the RT 2 Facility from the Overdraft Lender, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested, and hereby request, an extension of credit by way of drawdown of an amount of Syndicated Loans, in the currency or currencies of the Overdraft Loans, sufficient to repay the Overdraft Loans and accrued and unpaid interest in respect thereof, and on the day of receipt of such notice, each of the other relevant Lenders shall disburse to the Overdraft Lender its respective Pro Rata Share of such amounts and such amounts shall thereupon be deemed to have been advanced by the relevant Lenders to the Borrowers and to constitute Syndicated Loans (by way of Base Rate Canada Loans if the Overdraft Loans were so denominated or Prime Rate Loans if the Overdraft Loans were so denominated, or both). Such Syndicated Loans shall be deemed to be comprised of principal and accrued and unpaid interest in the same proportions as the corresponding Overdraft Loans. If a relevant Lender does not disburse to the Overdraft Lender its respective Pro Rata Share of any amount under this Section then, for the purpose only of any distributions or payments to such Lenders (and not, for greater certainty, for purposes of any obligations of such Lenders, including those under Section 14.10), including any distribution or payment with respect to the Borrowers in the event of any enforcement or realization proceedings or any bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation, judicial management, arrangement, compromise or composition, the Individual Commitment of such Lender with respect to the RT 2 Facility shall be deemed to be nil and the Individual Commitment of the Overdraft Lender with respect to the RT 2 Facility shall be increased by the Individual Commitment of such Lender with respect to the RT 2 Facility until the amounts owed by the Borrowers are outstanding to each relevant Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share determined without regard to this sentence. If any amount disbursed by a relevant Lender to the Overdraft Lender under this Section and deemed to have been advanced to the Borrowers must be repaid by the Overdraft Lender or by the relevant Lender to the Borrowers then no reduction of the Overdraft Loans as contemplated above shall be deemed to have occurred, but the relevant Lenders shall purchase participations in the Overdraft Loans (without recourse to the Overdraft Lender) for an amount or otherwise effect transactions to achieve the financial results contemplated by this Section.

(i) whether a Default or Event of Default is then continuing or whether any other condition in Article 12 is met; and

(ii) whether or not either Borrower has in fact actually requested such extension of credit by way of drawdown (by delivery of a Drawdown Notice or otherwise).

3.15 Administrative Agent’s Discretion to Allocate.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 9.6 with respect to the funding of Loans and Bankers’ Acceptances and reimbursing with respect to Letters in accordance with each relevant Lender’s Pro Rata Share, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reallocate the funding or reimbursement obligations among the Lenders in order to ensure, to the greatest extent practicable, that after such funding the aggregate amount of credit extended hereunder by each Lender coincides with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of credit extended under each Credit Facility by all of the Lenders, provided that no such allocation shall result in the aggregate amount of credit extended under a particular Credit Facility by any Lender exceeding such Lender’s Individual Commitment with respect to such Credit Facility.

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Loan the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Term Benchmark Loan for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Term Benchmark, any Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice, or Conversion Notice, as applicable, that requests a Loan of a Term Benchmark Loan shall instead be deemed to be a request for a Loan of, or a conversion of or rollover to, a Base Rate Canada Loan; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice (x) affect only one type of Loan, then all other types of Loans shall be permitted and (y) do not affect all Lenders, then requests by the Borrowers for Term Benchmark Loans may be made to the Lenders that are not affected thereby. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrowers’ receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this‎ clause (a) of Section 3.16 with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, then until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Term Benchmark, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan (or the next succeeding Banking Day if such day is not a Banking Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Canada Loan.

3.19 Illegality

If after the date hereof, the adoption of any Applicable Law, or any change in any Applicable Law (whether adopted before or after the date hereof), or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any Relevant Governmental Body or Official Body, or compliance by any Lender with any such Applicable Law, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund its portion of Term Benchmark Loans or Euribor Loans, as the case may be, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrowers. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.19, such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the good faith reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt by the Borrowers of such notice, notwithstanding anything contained in this agreement, the relevant Borrower shall repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s portion of each affected Loan together with accrued interest thereon, on either (a) the interest payment date determined in accordance with Article 7 and applicable to such affected Loan, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund its portion of such Loan to such day or (b) within 10 Banking Days of demand from such Lender if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain its portion of such affected Loan to such day. Concurrently with repaying such portion of each affected Loan, such Borrower may, in the case of an affected Term Benchmark Loan, borrow a Base Rate Canada Loan from such Lender, and in the case of an affected Euribor Loan, borrow a Prime Rate Loan, in each case whether or not it would have been entitled to effect such borrowing and such Lender shall make such Loan of a Base Rate Canada Loan or Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be, if so requested, in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount of the affected Loan made by such Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount of such Loan immediately prior to such repayment. The obligation of such Lender to make Term Benchmark Loans or Euribor Loans, as the case may be, is suspended only until such time as it is once more possible and legal for such Lender to fund and maintain Term Benchmark Loans or Euribor Loans, as the case may be.

(b) Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause it to seek additional amounts from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.2(a), it will use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected credit through another lending office or take such other actions as it deems appropriate if as a result thereof the additional moneys which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such credit pursuant to Section 8.2(a), would be reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such credit through such other lending office or the taking of such other actions would not otherwise adversely affect such credit or such Lender and would not, in such Lender’s sole discretion, be commercially unreasonable.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a), the Borrowers shall not be liable to compensate a Lender for any such cost, reduction, payment or foregone return:

(i) occurring more than 60 days before receipt by the Borrowers of the certificate described in Section 8.2(a); or

(ii) if such compensation is not being claimed as a general practice from customers of such Lender who by agreement are liable to pay such or similar compensation.

In determining the amount of compensation payable by the Borrowers under Section 8.2(a), such Lender shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize the compensation payable by the Borrowers including, without limitation, using all reasonable efforts to obtain refunds or credits, and any compensation paid by the Borrowers which is later determined not to have been properly payable shall forthwith be reimbursed by such Lender to the Borrowers.

(d) If any of the circumstances described in Section 8.2(a) continue in effect for 60 consecutive days and an affected Lender has delivered to the Borrowers the certificate described in Section 8.2(a), on request from the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall be entitled, in consultation with the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender, to arrange for one or more other financial institutions (in this Section 8.2(d), the “assuming Lender”) reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Overdraft Lender, to assume all or a portion of the relevant Individual Commitment and acquire the outstanding credit and other rights and interests of the affected Lender hereunder. The assuming Lender and affected Lender shall execute all such documents as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to effect such assumption and acquisition, which shall include, without limitation, the documentation contemplated in Section 15.6(c).

8.3 Failure to Fund as a Result of Change of Circumstances.

If any Lender but not all of the Lenders who have Individual Commitments seeks additional compensation pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-FATCA Compliant Lender (each, an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrowers may indicate to the Administrative Agent in writing that it desires to replace the Affected Lender with one or more of the other relevant Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall then forthwith give notice to the other relevant Lenders that any such Lender or Lenders may, in the aggregate, advance all (but not part) of the Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the affected credit and, in the aggregate, assume all (but not part) of the Affected Lender’s Individual Commitments and obligations under the relevant Credit Facility and acquire all (but not part) of the rights of the Affected Lender and assume all (but not part) of the obligations of the Affected Lender under each of the other Loan Documents to the extent they relate to such Credit Facility (but in no event shall any other relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent be obliged to do so). If one or more relevant Lenders shall so agree in writing (herein collectively called the “Assenting Lenders” and individually called an “Assenting Lender”) with respect to such advance, acquisition and assumption, the Pro Rata Share of such credit of each Assenting Lender and the Individual Commitments and the obligations of such Assenting Lender under such Credit Facility and the rights and obligations of such Assenting Lender under each of the other Loan Documents shall be increased by its respective pro rata share (based on the relative Individual Commitments of the Assenting Lenders under such Credit Facility) of the Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such credit and Individual Commitments and obligations and rights and obligations under each of the other Loan Documents on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Lenders and the Borrowers. On such date, the Assenting Lenders shall extend to the Borrowers the Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such credit and shall prepay to the Affected Lender the advances of the Affected Lender then outstanding, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to the Affected Lender hereunder, and, upon such advance and prepayment by the Assenting Lenders, the Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this agreement and shall no longer have any obligations hereunder. Upon the assumption of the Affected Lender’s Individual Commitments as aforesaid by an Assenting Lender, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to increase the Individual Commitments of such Assenting Lender by the respective amounts of such assumption. For certainty, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay an Affected Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-FATCA Compliant Lender in respect of breakage costs or other amounts required to be paid as a result of prepayment to such Lender.

8.4 Indemnity Relating to Credits.

Upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers (which notice shall be accompanied by a detailed calculation of the amount to be paid by the Borrowers), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, the relevant Lenders or the Issuing Lender such amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, the relevant Lenders or the Issuing Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by them:

(a) in the liquidation or redeposit of any funds acquired by such Lenders to fund or maintain any portion of a Term Benchmark Loan, Euribor Loan or BA Equivalent Loan as a result of:

(i) the failure of either Borrower to borrow or make repayments on the dates specified under this agreement or in any notice from either Borrower to the Administrative Agent (provided that if any notice specifies the repayment of a Euribor Loan, Term Benchmark Loan or a BA Equivalent Loan at any time other than its maturity date, then the Borrowers shall be responsible for any loss, costs or expenses referred to above); or

(ii) the repayment or prepayment of any amounts on a day other than the payment dates prescribed herein or in any notice from the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent (provided that if any notice specifies the repayment of a Euribor Loan, Term Benchmark Loan or a BA Equivalent Loan at any time other than its maturity date, then the Borrowers shall be responsible for any loss, costs or expenses referred to above);

(b) in converting United States dollars into Canadian dollars, Canadian dollars into United States dollars or Euros into either Canadian dollars or United States dollars as a result of the failure of the Borrowers to make repayments of outstanding credit hereunder in the currency in which such outstanding credit was denominated; or

(c) with respect to any Bankers’ Acceptance or Letter, arising from claims or legal proceedings, and including reasonable legal fees and disbursements, respecting the obtaining of credit by the Borrowers by way of such Bankers’ Acceptance or Letter, the collection of amounts owed by the Borrowers hereunder in respect of such Bankers’ Acceptance or Letter or the enforcement of the Issuing Lender’s or Lender’s rights hereunder in respect of such Bankers’ Acceptance or Letter including, without limitation, legal proceedings attempting to restrain the Issuing Lender or any Lender or any of them from paying any amount under such Bankers’ Acceptance or Letter except for any such loss, cost or expense that a court of competent jurisdiction determined arose on account of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Lender.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the indemnity set out in Section 8.5(a), each Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold the Indemnified Persons free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demand, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs, charges, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, out of pocket disbursements and amounts paid to the Indemnified Persons’ respective affiliates, employees, officers, directors and agents, of any and every kind whatsoever (collectively, in this Section 8.5(b), the “Indemnified Liabilities”), paid, incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Persons or any of them for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of, (i) the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from, any Property of any Hazardous Material or (ii) the breach or violation of any Environmental Law by any Subject Entity, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities that a court of competent jurisdiction determines arose on account of the relevant Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or the relevant Indemnified Person’s breach of this agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

(c) All obligations provided for in this Section 8.5 shall survive any termination of the Credit Facilities or this agreement and shall not be reduced or impaired by any investigation made by or on behalf of any Creditor.

(d) If, for any reason, the obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be unenforceable, the Borrowers agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each obligation that is permissible under Applicable Law, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines such obligations arose on account of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any Indemnified Person.

8.6 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments made by either Borrower under this agreement or under any other Loan Document (any such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Payment”) to or for the benefit of any Creditor shall be made without set-off or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future Taxes except to the extent that such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law or the administrative practice of any Official Body. If any such Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from or in respect of any Payment made to or for the benefit of any Creditor, the Borrowers shall:

(i) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such requirement;

(ii) in the case of Indemnified Taxes, pay to the Creditor, in addition to the Payment to which the Creditor is otherwise entitled, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Creditor (net of, any such Indemnified Taxes, including the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by the Borrowers under this Section 8.6(a), whether assessable against the Creditor or either Borrower) equals the full amount such Creditor would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such additional amount(s) described in this paragraph if such additional amounts arise solely as a result of any Lender ceasing to be, or to be deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Tax Act or any successor provision thereto, or the Loan to which the particular Payment to the Creditor relates ceases to be effectively connected with a permanent establishment of the Lender situated in Canada;

(iii) make such deduction or withholding;

(iv) pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law the full amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount of Indemnified Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by the Borrowers to such Creditor under this Section 8.6(a)), within the time period required by Applicable Law; and

Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

- 103 - 

(v) as promptly as possible thereafter, forward to the Administrative Agent or such Creditor, as the case may be, an original official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or such Creditor, evidencing such payment to such Official Body.

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future Other Taxes.

(c) Without duplication for amounts paid to a Creditor pursuant to Section 8.6(a), each Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Creditor for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes levied, imposed or assessed against (and whether or not paid directly by) any Creditor, and for all expenses, resulting from or relating to an Obligor’s failure to:

(i) remit to the Administrative Agent or any Creditor the documentation referred to in Section 8.6(a)(v); or

(ii) pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the relevant Official Body (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any Official Body on amounts payable under this Section 8.6).

The provisions of this Section 8.6(c) shall apply whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally assessed. Any Creditor who pays any Taxes or Other Taxes in excess of the amount (if any) paid by the Borrowers on account thereof under Section 8.6, shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such payment, provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not detract from, or compromise, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 8.6. Payment pursuant to this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date any Creditor makes written demand therefor accompanied by a certificate as to the amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes and the calculation thereof, which calculation shall be prima facie evidence of such amount.

(d) If any Creditor receives a refund of, or credit for, Indemnified Taxes for which a payment has been made by the Borrowers under this Section 8.6, which refund or credit in the good faith judgment of such Creditor is attributable to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such payment made by the Borrowers, then such Creditor shall reimburse the Borrowers for such amount (if any, but not exceeding the amount of any payment made under this Section 8.6 that gives rise to such refund or credit), net of out-of-pocket expenses of such Creditor which the Creditor determines in its absolute discretion will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if such Taxes had not been exigible. The Borrowers, upon the request of any Creditor, agree to repay such Creditor any portion of any such refund or credit paid over to the Borrowers that such Creditor is required to pay to the relevant Official Body and agrees to pay any interest, penalties or other charges paid by such Creditor as a result of or related to such payment to such Official Body. No Creditor shall be under any obligation to arrange its Tax affairs in any particular manner so as to claim any refund or credit. None of the Creditors shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its Tax affairs or computations to the Borrowers or any other Person in connection with this Section 8.6(d) or any other provision of this Section 8.6.

In addition, (i) any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (if any) or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements, and (ii) any Lender that ceases to be, or to be deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Tax Act or any successor provision thereto in respect of Payments shall within five Banking Days thereof notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing.

(f) If a payment made to a Lender Party under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender Party shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender Party has complied with such Lender Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 8.6(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this agreement. Each Lender Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. For purposes of this Section 8.6(f), “Lender Party” shall mean any Lender and the Administrative Agent.

Article 14
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

14.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

Each Creditor hereby appoints and authorizes, and hereby agrees that it will require any assignee of any of its interests in the Loan Documents (other than the holder of a participation in its interests herein or therein) to appoint and authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by such Creditor by the terms hereof (including holding the Guarantees and the Security for the benefit of the Creditors), together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and each Creditor hereby relieves the Administrative Agent from the restrictions pursuant to section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and similar restrictions of self-dealing and multiple representation applicable to it pursuant to any other law, in each case to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, provided that a Creditor that is barred by its constitutional documents or by-laws from granting such exemption shall notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any of the Creditors for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct and each Creditor hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to the benefit of the foregoing sentence on its own behalf and as agent and trustee for its directors, officers, employees and agents.

The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it as counsel for the Administrative Agent and the other Creditors and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice and opinion of such counsel.

14.4 Documents.

The Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to the Creditors to examine, enquire into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of the Loan Documents or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant to or in connection with the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent shall, as regards the Creditors, be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties and are what they purport to be.

14.5 Administrative Agent as Creditor.

With respect to those portions of the Credit Facilities made available by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Creditor and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with each Borrower and its affiliates and Persons doing business with each Borrower and/or any of its affiliates as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any obligation to account to the Creditors therefor.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to the Creditors to investigate whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred. The Administrative Agent shall, as regards the Creditors, be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge or has been notified by the Borrowers of such fact or has been notified by a Creditor that such Creditor considers that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such notification to specify in detail the nature thereof.

14.7 Action by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it on behalf of the Creditors by and under this agreement; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any rights under Section 13.1 or under the Guarantees or the Security Documents or expressed to be on behalf of or with the approval of the Majority Lenders without the request, consent or instructions of the Majority Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in any Loan Document shall be construed so as to constitute an obligation of the Administrative Agent to provide any services which it would not be entitled to provide pursuant to the provisions of the German Act on Rendering Legal Services (Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz) or pursuant to the provisions of the German Tax Advisory Act (Steuerberatungsgesetz) or any other services that require an express official approval, licence or registration, unless the Administrative Agent holds the required approval, licence or registration. Furthermore, any rights of the Administrative Agent expressed to be on behalf of or with the approval of the Majority Lenders shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent upon the request or instructions of the Majority Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability to the Creditors under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the circumstances, except for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting under any of the Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all Creditors. In respect of any notice by or action taken by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Borrowers shall at no time be obliged to enquire as to the right or authority of the Administrative Agent to so notify or act.

14.8 Notice of Events of Default.

In the event that the Administrative Agent shall acquire actual knowledge or shall have been notified of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and shall take such action and assert such rights under Section 13.1 of this agreement and under the other Loan Documents as the Majority Lenders shall request in writing and the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of its acting pursuant to any such request. If the Majority Lenders shall fail for five Banking Days after receipt of the notice of any Default or Event of Default to request the Administrative Agent to take such action or to assert such rights under any of the Loan Documents in respect of such Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, and subject to subsequent specific instructions from the Majority Lenders, take such action or assert such rights (other than rights under Section 13.1 of this agreement or under the other Loan Documents and other than giving an express waiver of any Default or any Event of Default) as it deems in its discretion to be advisable for the protection of the Lenders except that, if the Majority Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent not to take such action or assert such rights, in no event shall the Administrative Agent act contrary to such instructions unless required by law to do so.

(a) in making its decision to enter into this agreement and to make its Pro Rata Share of the Credit Facilities available to the Borrowers, it is independently taking whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of the Subject Entities and that it has made an independent credit judgment without reliance upon any information furnished by the Administrative Agent; and

If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment by the time of such resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Creditors and with the prior written consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be required for so long as a Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank organized under the laws of Canada which has combined capital and reserves in excess of Cdn.$250,000,000 and has an office in Toronto.

After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, provisions of this Article 14 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

In the event that any Obligor incorporated in Spain was declared insolvent pursuant to the provisions of the Spanish Insolvency Law, and any Lender was considered a subordinated creditor of such Obligor under the relevant insolvency proceedings (and, therefore, it was determined that such Lender would not benefit from any security created by virtue of any Spanish Security Document), the portion of any Proceeds of Realization derived from disposal or realization of any Secured Assets subject to the Spanish Security Documents that would otherwise be distributed to such Lender under this agreement shall instead be distributed pro-rata amongst all of the other Lenders.

14.18 Distribution of Notices.

Promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice or other document which is delivered to the Administrative Agent hereunder on behalf of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of such notice or other document to each of the Lenders.

14.19 Decision to Enforce Security.

Upon the Security becoming enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify each of the Creditors. Any Lender (other than TELUS Corporation) may thereafter provide the Administrative Agent with a written request to enforce the Security. Forthwith after the receipt of such a request, the Administrative Agent shall seek the instructions of the Majority Lenders as to whether the Security should be enforced and the manner in which the Security should be enforced. In seeking such instructions, the Administrative Agent shall submit a specific proposal to the Creditors. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Creditors of all instructions and approvals of the Majority Lenders. If the Majority Lenders instruct the Administrative Agent to enforce the Security, each of the Creditors agrees to accelerate the Secured Obligations owed to it in accordance with and to the extent permitted under the relevant Capital Market Agreements and Cash Management Agreements.

14.20 Enforcement.

The Administrative Agent reserves the sole right to enforce, or otherwise deal with, the Security and to deal with the Borrowers in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall so enforce, or otherwise deal with, the Security as the Majority Lenders shall instruct.

14.21 Determination of Exposures.

Concurrent with any request for any approval or instructions of the Majority Lenders and prior to any distribution of Proceeds of Realization to any of the Creditors, the Administrative Agent shall request each Creditor to provide to the Administrative Agent a written calculation of such Creditor’s Exposure as at the applicable date, each such calculation to be certified true and correct by the Creditor providing same. Such calculation shall be in such detail as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Each Creditor shall so provide such calculation within two Banking Days following the request of the Administrative Agent. Any such calculation provided by a particular Creditor shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of such Creditor’s Exposure at such time. With respect to each determination of the Exposure of the Creditors, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Creditors. For the purposes of determining a particular Creditor’s Exposure:

(a) the Exposure of a Lender under any Loan Documents shall be the aggregate amount owing to such Lender thereunder on the applicable date;

(b) the Exposure of a Qualified Capital Market Lender in respect of Capital Market Agreements shall be the net exposure of such Qualified Capital Market Lender under all Capital Market Agreements to which such Qualified Capital Market Lender is a party, being the aggregate exposure of such Qualified Capital Market Lender thereunder less the aggregate exposure of the relevant Borrower thereunder; the exposure of a party to a Capital Market Agreement shall be, in the case of a Capital Market Agreement which has not been terminated as of the applicable date, the total amount which such party would be obligated to pay to the other party under such Capital Market Agreement in the event of the early termination by such other party as of the applicable date of such Capital Market Agreement as a result of the occurrence of a default or event of default (however specified or designated) with respect to such party thereunder; or in the case of a Capital Market Agreement which has been terminated as of the applicable date, the total amount which such party is obligated to pay to the other party under such Capital Market Agreement; and

(c) the Exposure of a Cash Management Lender with respect of any Cash Management Agreement shall be the aggregate amount owing to such Cash Management Lender under or in connection with such Cash Management Agreement on the applicable date.

This Section 14.21 is subject to the provisions of Section 14.22(c).

14.22 Application of Cash Proceeds.

(a) All Proceeds of Realization which are not Cash Proceeds shall be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent and disposed of, or realized upon, by the Administrative Agent in such manner as the Majority Lenders may approve so as to produce Cash Proceeds.

(b) Subject to the claims, if any, of secured creditors of the Obligors (except the claims of any Creditor) whose security ranks in priority to the Security, all Cash Proceeds shall be applied and distributed, and the claims of the Creditors shall be deemed to have the relative priorities which would result in the Cash Proceeds being applied and distributed, as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, all legal fees and disbursements) in the exercise of all or any of the powers granted to it hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and in payment of all of the remuneration of any Receiver and all costs and expenses properly incurred by such Receiver (including, without limitation, all legal fees and disbursements) in the exercise of all or any powers granted to it under the Guarantees and the Security Documents;

“Distributed Amount” means the amount distributed or paid to the Creditors or to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Creditors (or any of them) by the person responsible for the distribution of the assets (including any payments) of a German Obligor which is insolvent or otherwise subject to insolvency or similar proceedings.

“Maximum Amount” means the amount which would, but for any reduction or prohibition of payment or other distribution due to the relationship between any Equitably Subordinated Lender and a German Obligor, have been distributed or be distributable to the Creditors or to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the relevant Creditors (or any of them) by the person responsible for the distribution of the assets (including any payments) of a German Obligor which is insolvent or otherwise subject to insolvency or similar proceedings.

“Shortfall Amount” means the amount by which the Maximum Amount exceeds the Distributed Amount.

(ii)

(A) If, in an insolvency of a German Obligor, the Distributed Amount is less than the Maximum Amount, then, upon application of the Distributed Amount (or any part thereof) pursuant to this clause 14.22 or otherwise under this agreement towards the discharge of the obligations of such German Obligor under the Credit Documents to which it is a party (including principal, interest, fees and commissions), the amount which would otherwise be required to be applied towards any portion of such obligations that is owed to an Equitably Subordinated Lender shall be reduced by the Shortfall Amount attributable to that Equitably Subordinated Lender and such amount shall in addition be applied towards the discharge of the portion of such obligations (including principal, interest, fees, commission) that is owed to the other Creditors pro rata in accordance with this agreement.

(C) In respect of any Shortfall Amount only (i) an Equitably Subordinated Lender shall not have the benefit, but only the obligations, of any sharing provisions under the Credit Documents, and shall not be entitled to receive payment of such Shortfall Amount, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to pay such Shortfall Amount to such Equitably Subordinated Lender; provided, for greater certainty, that such Equitably Subordinated Lender shall have the benefit of such sharing provisions in all other respects and nothing in this Section 14.22(c) shall affect such Equitably Subordinated Lender’s entitlement to receive, or the Administrative Agent’s obligation to pay to such Equitably Subordinated Lender, any other amount in accordance with this agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(iii) To the extent a participation, commitment, sub-participation or other agreement or arrangement of an Equitably Subordinated Lender would prejudice or adversely affect the Security provided by a German Obligor pursuant to a Security Document or the guarantee and indemnity provided pursuant to a Guarantee by a German Obligor, in each case in relation to any Lender other than an Equitably Subordinated Lender in any way, such Equitably Subordinated Lender shall not be a Secured Party under such Security Document and shall not benefit from the guarantee and indemnity provided pursuant to such Guarantee and no amount owing to such Equitably Subordinated Lender under any Credit Document shall be secured by any Security provided by such German Obligor.

Any such assignment by a Lender shall not be effective unless and until such Lender has paid to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of U.S.$3,500 for each Purchasing Lender, unless and until the Purchasing Lender has executed an instrument substantially in the form of Schedule C hereto whereby the Purchasing Lender has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents as a Lender and has agreed to specific Individual Commitments and a specific address and telefacsimile number for the purpose of notices as provided in Section 15.2. Upon any such assignment becoming effective, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to include the Purchasing Lender as a Lender with the specific Individual Commitments, address and telefacsimile number as aforesaid and the Individual Commitments of the Lender making such assignment shall be deemed to be reduced by the respective amounts of the Individual Commitments of the Purchasing Lender. When an assignment has been effected pursuant to this Section 15.6(c) without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall, within five Banking Days of any such assignment becoming effective, provide the Borrowers with written notice of such assignment. For certainty, no Subject Entity, nor any shareholder or affiliate of any Subject Entity, may be a Participant or Purchasing Lender.

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 15.9(a)(i), 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 Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders, such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) 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 the Indebtedness Currency 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.

(c) Any amount due from the Borrowers under the provisions of Section 15.9(b) shall be due to the judgment creditor 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.

15.15 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Capital Market Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC  (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the 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 the governing law of any of the Loan Documents or any Supported QFC):

(a) 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 Loan 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 Loan 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) As used in this Section 15.15, the following terms have the following meanings:
