Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined. I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. In rendering this opinion, I have assumed:\n(a) the signatures on the documents I have examined are originals; and\n(b) with respect to the valid and binding nature of the Credit Agreement and the delivery of the Credit Agreement, the laws of the State of New York are the same as the laws of Canada. The opinions expressed herein are subject to the following qualifications:\n(a) enforceability of the Credit Agreement and the Notes may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally;\n(b) equitable remedies, including remedies of specific performance and injunction, may only be granted in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction;\n(c) the Currency Act (Canada) precludes the courts in Canada from awarding a judgment for an amount expressed in a currency other than Canadian dollars; and\n(d) any requirement to pay interest at a greater rate after than before default may not be enforceable if the same is construed by a court to constitute a penalty. In expressing the opinions in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 stated below, I have relied exclusively upon the opinion of , of the Corporation, dated the date hereof (the \"Opinion\"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule A. The opinions expressed herein are limited in scope to the matters addressed in the Opinion, and to the extent any such opinion is stated to be based on any assumption or to be given in reliance on any certificate or other document or to be subject to any limitation, qualification or exemption, the opinions expressed herein in reliance on such opinion are based upon the same assumption, are given in reliance on the same certificate or document, and are subject to the same limitation, qualification or exemption. I have reviewed the Opinion and found it to be satisfactory in form and scope to address the matter for which it has been relied upon by me herein. Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:\n1. The Corporation is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of Canada and has all corporate powers and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, the absence of which would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Corporation to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement.",

rates or quotations used in the calculation of payments or interest under an agreement.

By clearly specifying the source of these financial benchmarks, the clause ensures consistency and reduces disputes over rate determination, thereby providing certainty and transparency for all parties involved."}, "json": true, "cursor": ""}}
