1.2 Interest Rate Determination
The interest rate applicable under the Loan shall be determined on the basis of the following grid based on the Borrower’s Debt to EBITDA ratio as provided below.
| Level |
Debt to EBITDA Ratio |
Interest Rate Spread - Libor Plus |
| 1 |
4.01x-4.50x |
500 bps |
| 2 |
4.00x – 3.76x |
450 bps |
| 3 |
3.75x – 3.51x |
400 bps |
| 4 |
3.50x-3.01x |
350 bps |
| 5 |
< 3.01x |
300 bps |
(a) The Borrower shall pay interest, compounded semi-annually, in arrears, on the first day of each month, on the daily amount outstanding under the FCC Loan at the variable rate which is equal to Libor (adjusted as provided in Section 1 of Schedule A) plus the applicable Interest Rate Spread (adjusted from time to time as described in this section 1 and in section 1 of Schedule A), both before and after maturity, default and judgment, with interest on overdue interest at the same rate;
(b) For purposes of determining the applicable Level in the Grid above, upon the advance being made under the Loan, the applicable level in the Grid shall be set at Level 1 until such time thereafter as such rate can be determined by FCC in accordance with Clause (d) below, with reference to annual audited financial statements received by FCC in accordance with Section 6.2 below;
(c) Upon receipt of the annual audited financial statements for the Borrower, FCC shall, based thereon, determine the Debt to EBITDA ratio for the Borrower as at the last day of the fiscal year just ended and, based on such determination:
FCC shall then determine the Level in the Grid above that corresponds to such Debt to EBITDA ratio and the applicable Interest Rate Spread above Libor applicable under such Level, which aggregate rate (i.e. the Libor, plus the applicable Interest Rate Spread so determined) shall apply effective as and from May 1 in accordance with this clause; FCC may from time to time adjust the monthly blended payments payable by the Borrower in respect of amounts outstanding under the FCC Loan to reflect changes in the interest rate payable by the Borrower hereunder, which interest rate changes are reflected in Schedule A; and
(d) If at the time of determination by FCC of any applicable Interest Rate Spread, the Borrower has, for any reason, failed to deliver the annual audited financial statements for the Borrower as required under this Agreement, then the applicable Interest Rate Spread shall be determined based upon Level 1 in the Grid for the applicable fiscal year, unless otherwise agreed by FCC.

You must give FCC written notice at least 3 business days prior to the date any advance is required.
Any prepayment, late payment, or unscheduled payment of this Loan whether voluntary or involuntary will result in a fee payable to FCC equivalent to all costs or losses incurred by FCC as a result of the prepayment, late payment, or unscheduled payment. These costs or losses, will be determined exclusively by FCC and could include foreign exchange losses, foreign currency costs, applicable fees required to change foreign exchange hedging contracts, FCC administrative costs, interest paid on U.S. currency held by FCC for application on a future scheduled payment date, loss of profit, lost interest-bearing days, interest differential and reinvestment or re-lending, and loss on account of funds borrowed, contracted for, or utilized to fund such portion, damages, penalties and expenses, and any other costs reasonably incurred by FCC as a result of the prepayment, late payment or unscheduled payment.
You agree that the initial Interest Rate applicable to this Loan will be Libor on the date of disbursement plus the Interest Spread in accordance with the Grid in section 1.2 above. Interest will be compounded semi-annually not in advance. The Interest Rate for this Loan will be adjusted on the first day of each May, August, November and February following the date of disbursement to be Libor on such day plus the applicable Interest Spread on such day. If the date for adjusting the Interest Rate falls on a weekend or statutory holiday in Canada or the United States, then the Libor used to establish the Interest Rate will be the Libor on the next business day. You will not be advised of any interest rate change, but can obtain the rate applicable to your loan by contacting your Account Manager. At the discretion of FCC, this Loan may be renewed on the Balance Due Date. Information on the current Libor rate is available on the Bloomberg Website located at xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx.
The terms of this Loan will be documented by this Credit Agreement. You authorize FCC, upon disbursement, to use the applicable 3 month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate to calculate and then apply the Interest Rate for purposes of this Credit Agreement.
Prepayments
This loan can be prepaid at any time on 2 Banking Days notice, subject to payment to FCC of any costs or losses as set out in the third paragraph of this Schedule A, provided that notwithstanding the second paragraph of this Schedule A, in relation to the prepayment fees, if you repay or prepay the Loan or any part thereof on a day other than the first day of February, May, August or November (each, a “LIBOR Calculation Date”), the costs or losses which you shall be responsible for shall be determined by FCC and shall be limited to the costs or losses suffered or incurred (but only for such losses or expenses suffered or incurred up to the next LIBOR Calculation Date), by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by or howsoever deployed by FCC to effect or maintain such portion of the Loan being prepaid or any interest or other charges payable to lenders of funds borrowed by FCC in order to maintain such portion of the Loan being prepaid.

(d) Application of Proceeds After Default
All Proceeds of Collateral received by FCC or a Receiver may be applied to discharge or satisfy any expenses (including among other things the Receiver’s remuneration and other expenses of enforcing FCC’s or any Lender’s rights under this Credit Agreement), Liens, borrowings, taxes and other outgoings affecting the Collateral or which are considered advisable by FCC or the Receiver to preserve, repair, process, maintain or enhance the Collateral or prepare it for sale, lease or other disposition, or to keep in good standing any Liens on the Collateral ranking in priority to any Lien created by the Security or to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral.
