I. Amendment.
A. The definition of “Senior Notes” contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“ “Senior Notes” means any unsecured Indebtedness of Parent or Borrower or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, and any Guarantees thereof, which has terms (including interest, amortization, covenants and events of default), not more onerous to Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those contained in the Loan Documents.”
B. Section 3.10(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“ (d) As of the Effective Date, except as set forth in Schedule 3.10 or reflected in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.10(a), neither Parent, Borrower nor any of their Restricted Subsidiaries has any contingent liabilities, unusual long-term commitments or unrealized losses.”
II. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof duly executed by Borrower, Parent, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders (or, in the case of any
party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, telegraphic, telex, or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such party).
III. Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties. To induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment, Parent and Borrower each hereby reaffirms, as of the date hereof, that the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof (or, if stated to have been made expressly as of an earlier date, were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).
IV. Defined Terms. Except as amended hereby, terms used herein when defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings herein unless the context otherwise requires.
V. Reaffirmation of Credit Agreement. This Amendment shall be deemed to be an amendment to the Credit Agreement, and the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in each and every respect.

VI. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA AND CANADA APPLICABLE THEREIN.
VII. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
VIII. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Parent, Borrower, the undersigned Lenders and the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement have executed this Amendment as of the date first above written.
