Article 2THE TERM FACILITY
2.1The Term Facility
The Lenders severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree to make available to the Borrower a non-revolving term facility (“Term Facility”) in a principal amount not to exceed their respective Commitment set out in Schedule “A” hereto. As at the date of this Agreement, the collective Commitments of the Lenders with respect to the Term Facility aggregate to $60,000,000.
2.2Purpose of the Term Facility
The Borrower will only use the Term Facility to fund the cash flow needs of operations of the Credit Parties primarily based or located in Canada (including (A) repayments of outstanding loans under an overdraft or operating facility of the applicable Credit Parties so long as the applicable Lender’s or other financial institution’s commitment or authorized amount thereunder is not reduced (other than to the extent of temporary advances or borrowing excesses); and (B) normally scheduled principal and interest payments on any of the applicable Credit Parties’ existing indebtedness as well as ordinary course of business lease, equipment or supplier financing payments).
For further certainty, the proceeds from the Term Facility will not be used (a) for repayment of outstanding loans on the maturity date thereof; (b) to fund cash sweep payments under outstanding loans and similar types of payments; (c) to fund Restricted Payments or (d) to fund directly or indirectly any acquisitions (including any Permitted Acquisition as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement).

    - 13 -
2.3Availability
(a)The Term Facility will be available through Borrowings and will not revolve such that the Borrower may not re-borrow any Borrowing previously repaid, any such repayment automatically reducing the Term Facility by an amount equal to the amount repaid.
(b)The Term Facility must be drawn by the Borrower:
(i)in a maximum of up to four Borrowings;
(ii)during the period of time between the Effective Date and the Drawdown Outside Date (inclusively); and
(iii)in a manner which ensures that no further Borrowings may be drawn and disbursed during the 3-month period following the immediately preceding drawdown under the Term Facility.
(c)Upon the earliest of:
(i)the Drawdown Outside Date; or
(ii)the disbursement date of the fourth Borrowing under the Term Facility,
any unused portion of the Term Facility will cease to be available and the Commitment of each Lender related thereto, will be automatically and permanently terminated and cancelled.
2.4Notice of Borrowings
To obtain a Borrowing under the Term Facility, the Borrower must give a notice to the Agent specifying:
(a)the amount of the Borrowing, which must be a multiple of $100,000, but with a minimum of $2,500,000 per Borrowing; and
(b)the date of the Borrowing, which must be a Business Day.
For each Borrowing under the Term Facility, the Borrower must also comply with Section 6.2.
The notice must be given no later than 10:00 a.m. five Business Days preceding the date of the Borrowing. Each notice must be in writing in the form of Schedule “C” or in any other form as may be agreed from time to time between the Agent and the Borrower. The Agent will provide promptly to the Lenders a copy of each such notice (no later than the delay set forth in Section 2.6(c)).
2.5Irrevocability of Notices of Borrowing/Prepayment
The Borrower may not cancel a notice of Borrowing or prepayment, unless applicable breakage costs are paid, as contemplated by Section 13.7.
2.6Funding
(a)Subject to Section 2.6(c), at the request of the Agent, each Lender will promptly pay to the Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing made or to be made by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders. The Agent will provide the Lenders

    - 14 -
with such information as may be necessary in order for the Lenders to make payments to the Agent and fund their respective Pro Rata Shares of any Borrowing (subject to rounding adjustments by the Agent).
(b)Any amount to be paid by a Lender to the Agent must be made available to the Agent (to such account of the Agent as notified in writing to each Lender) by 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the applicable day. Any amount to be disbursed by the Agent to the Borrower will be made available to the Borrower by crediting the account of the Borrower at the Branch of Account or at any other place or in any other manner to be agreed upon from time to time between such Borrower and the Agent.
(c)The Agent will not be required to fund a requested Borrowing to the Borrower until the Agent has received from each Lender its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may not request the Lenders to fund their respective Pro Rata Shares of any Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.6(a), before having confirmed with each Lender at least two Business Days prior to the requested date of advance of a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.6(a)) that the conditions precedent set forth at Section 6.2 have been completed to such Lender's satisfaction.
(d)Upon receipt of a confirmation from each Lender that the conditions precedent to a proposed Borrowing have been satisfied, then unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of advance of such Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender's Pro Rata share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable advance available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender will pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount will constitute such Lender's Borrowing included in such advance. If the Lender does not do so forthwith, the Borrower will pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the advance in question. Any payment by the Borrower will be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make such payment to the Agent.
2.7Limitations on each Lender's Obligation to Fund
Each Lender's obligation to fund Borrowings under Term Facility is limited to such Lender's Commitment and each Borrowing will be advanced to the Agent concurrently by each Lender rateably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are not joint or joint and several (solidary), and no Lender is responsible for the obligations of any other Lender.
2.8Account of Record
The Agent will open and maintain books of account evidencing all Borrowings and all other amounts owing by the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder. The Agent will enter in the foregoing accounts details of all amounts from time to time owing, paid or repaid by the Borrower hereunder. The information entered in the foregoing accounts will constitute prima facie evidence of the obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder with respect to

    - 15 -
all Borrowings and all other amounts owing by the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder. After a request by the Borrower, the Agent will promptly advise the Borrower of such entries made in the Agent's books of account.

3.3Standby Fee
The Borrower will pay to the Agent for the rateable benefit of the Lenders, a standby fee on the unused portion of the aggregate amount of the Commitments. The standby fee will be calculated daily from the date of this Agreement at an annual rate equal to [Redacted: percentage]% per annum. The standby fee will be payable quarterly to the Agent in arrears on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter.
3.4Interest on Borrowings
(a)Borrowings will bear interest from the date of advance to the date of repayment in full, both before and after default, maturity and judgement, as follows:
(i)for the period between the Effective Date and the first anniversary date of the Effective Date (inclusively) (the “Fixed Rate Period”), at the Fixed Rate;
(ii)thereafter until the second anniversary date of the Effective Date (inclusively), at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (A) the Senior Interest Rate plus 1.00%; and (B) the Fixed Rate plus 1.00%;
(iii)thereafter until the third anniversary date of the Effective Date (inclusively), at a per annum rate equal to the greater of: (A) the Senior Interest Rate plus 2.00%; and (B) the Fixed Rate plus 2.00%; and

(b)Each determination by the Agent of the Senior Interest Rate and the rate of interest applicable to the Borrowings from time to time will, in the absence of manifest error, be binding upon the Borrower. Changes in the Senior Interest Rate will cause an immediate adjustment of the interest rate applicable to the Borrowings without the necessity of any notice to the Borrower.

    - 16 -
(c)Such interest is payable to the Agent for the rateable benefit of the Lenders as follows:
(i)during the Fixed Rate Period, interest on any Borrowing will accrue and be added to the principal amount of such Borrowing (capitalized) on the first day of each month (each, a “Payment Date”); and
(ii)after the Fixed Rate Period, interest on any Borrowing (including on all interest capitalized during the Fixed Rate Period) will accrue and be payable monthly in arrears on each applicable Payment Date.
(d)For certainty, the interest accrued and added to the principal amount of any Borrowings during the Fixed Rate Period will bear interest at the same rate as the principal amount of the Borrowings from time to time and will be due and payable by the Borrower on the Maturity Date.
(e)The Agent will provide to the Lenders or the Borrower, from time to time, upon request, advice as to the Senior Interest Rate at such time.
3.5Calculation of Interest Rates
(a)Interest rates and fees are annual rates and will be calculated on the principal amount of the Borrowings (including capitalized interest) outstanding from time to time and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be.
(b)Interest will be calculated using the nominal rate method of calculation, and will not be calculated using the effective rate method of calculation or on any other basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed re-investment of interest.
(c)For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) only, the annual rate of interest equivalent to a rate otherwise calculated under this Agreement is equal to the rate so calculated multiplied by the actual number of days included in a given year and divided by 365 (366) days.
(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any interest rate or rates referred to herein (together with other fees payable hereunder which are construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest or in the nature of interest) exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law. If such maximum interest rate would be exceeded by the terms hereof, the rates of interest payable hereunder will be reduced to the extent necessary so that such rates (together with other fees which are construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest or in the nature of interest) equal the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law, and any overpayment of interest received by the Agent or the Lenders theretofore will be applied, forthwith after determination of such overpayment, to pay all then outstanding interest, and thereafter to pay outstanding principal, as if the same were a prepayment of principal and treated accordingly hereunder.
3.6Interest on Arrears or Event of Default
(a)Any amount (whether principal, interest, costs or otherwise) which is not paid when due (including, for certainty, any payment due which is being blocked from being made to the Lenders pursuant to terms agreed upon between the Lenders and other creditors of the Borrower, including the Senior Lenders) will bear interest at the interest rate in effect from time to time for Borrowings (pursuant to

    - 17 -
Section 3.4) plus 2.00% per annum. Interest on arrears will be compounded monthly and will be payable on demand.
(b)Without duplication with Section 3.6(a), at the election of the Lenders while any Event of Default exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under Sections 9.1(h), (i), (j) and (k) exists), the Borrower will, subject to the Applicable Law, pay interest (after as well as before maturity and judgement) on the Borrowings from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default for so long as it is existing, at the interest rate in effect from time to time for Borrowings (pursuant to Section 3.4) plus 2.00% per annum. All such interest will be payable on demand by the Agent.
Article 4REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT
4.1Mandatory Repayments of the Term Facility
(a)The Borrower must repay in full the outstanding Borrowings and pay all other amounts owing under Term Facility on the Maturity Date.
(b)The Borrower must also repay, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending on December 31, 2022, an amount equal to 50% of the Borrower’s Excess Cash in each Fiscal Quarter, up to a maximum aggregate amount of US$25,000,000 per Fiscal Year (including for greater certainty the 2022 Fiscal Year), such repayments to reduce the principal balance outstanding under the Term Facility and to be made by no later than (i) 60 days after the end of each of Fiscal Quarter (other than the fourth Fiscal Quarter of each Fiscal Year) of the Borrower and (ii) 90 days after the end of the fourth Fiscal Quarter of each Fiscal Year,

For the purposes of obtaining the judgment and making the calculation referred to in (i), the exchange rate will be the spot rate at which the Agent, on the relevant date, may in Toronto or Montréal, sell the currency of the Agreement to obtain the other currency. Any additional amount owed under this Section will constitute a cause of action distinct from the cause of action which gave rise to the judgment, and said judgment will not constitute res judicata in that respect. The Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to save the Lenders harmless from and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency.
5.5Payments Net of Taxes
If the Borrower or a Secured Party is compelled by law to make any withholding or deduction due to any tax (excluding any tax on the overall net income or capital of a Lender) or if a Lender is liable to pay tax in respect of any payment due or made by the Borrower, the Borrower will pay to the applicable Secured Party such additional amount as may be necessary in order that the payment actually received is, on a net after tax basis, equal to the payment that would otherwise have been received in the absence of such withholding or deduction or tax (including in the absence of any additional withholding or deduction or tax in respect of any additional amount payable pursuant to this Section and including taking into account taxes payable by such Lender on such additional amount).

If any Lender, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains any payment or other reduction that might result in such Lender receiving payment or other reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Borrowings and accrued interest thereon or other obligations hereunder greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such payment or other reduction will (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Borrowings and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as will be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders rateably in accordance with

    - 36 -
the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Borrowings and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(a)if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest,
(b)the provisions of this Section will not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Credit Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Borrowings to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party (as to which the provisions of this Section will apply); and
(c)the provisions of this Section will not be construed to apply to (w) any payment made while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of obligations of the Borrower to such Lender that do not arise under or in connection with the Credit Documents, (x) any payment made in respect of an obligation that is secured by a Permitted Lien or that is otherwise entitled to priority over the Borrower's obligations under or in connection with the Credit Documents, (y) any reduction arising from an amount owing to a Credit Party upon the termination of derivatives entered into between such Credit Party and such Lender, or (z) any payment to which such Lender is entitled as a result of any form of credit protection obtained by such Lender.
The Credit Parties consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim and similar rights of a Lender with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
10.3Sharing of Information
The Secured Parties may share with each other (and with their Affiliates) any information held by them regarding the financial condition, business or property of the Credit Parties or relating to matters contemplated by the Credit Documents.
10.4Nature of Lender's Obligations
The covenants and obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are separate and several (and not joint or joint and several) and no Lender will be liable or otherwise responsible for the covenants and obligations of any other Lender.
Article 11THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
11.1Appointment and Authority
Subject to Section 11.7, each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Person identified elsewhere in this Agreement as the Agent to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and no Credit Party will have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

    - 37 -
11.2Rights as a Lender
The Person serving as the Agent hereunder will have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” will, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent and without any duty to account to the Lenders.
11.3Exculpatory Provisions
(a)The Agent will not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:
(i)will not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)will not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or (A) by all Lenders when the consent or approval of all Lenders is required pursuant to Section 12.3; or (B) by BDC when only the consent or approval of BDC is required pursuant to Section 12.2), but the Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or Applicable Law; and
(iii)will not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and will not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)The Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or (A) by all Lenders when the consent or approval of all Lenders is required pursuant to Section 12.3; or (B) by BDC when only the consent or approval of BDC is required pursuant to Section 12.2), or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as the Agent believes in good faith is necessary, under the provisions of the Credit Documents; or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
(c)Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement the Agent will not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document; (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith; (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document; or (v) the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

    - 38 -
11.4Reliance by Agent
The Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and will not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Borrowing that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent will have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Borrowing. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
11.5Indemnification of Agent
Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Agent and hold it harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), rateably according to its Pro Rata Share (and not jointly or jointly and severally) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel, financial consultants or other professionals retained by the Agent from time to time) which may be incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Credit Documents or the transactions therein contemplated. However, no Lender will be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
11.6Delegation of Duties
The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent from among the Lenders (including the Person serving as Agent) and their respective Affiliates. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The provisions of this Article and other provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Agent will apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and will apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
11.7Replacement of Agent
(a)In the event (i) the Agent ceases to be a Senior Lender; or (ii) there is another Commercial Lender (other than the Agent), the Agent may give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, BDC will have the right in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which will be a Lender having an office in Canada, or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Canada. The Agent may also be removed at any time by BDC when the Agent is consistently failing to perform its duties under this Agreement upon 30 days’ notice to the Agent and the Borrower as long as BDC, in consultation with the Borrower, appoints and obtains the acceptance of a successor within such 30 days, which successor will be a Lender having an office in Toronto or Montréal, or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Canada.
(b)If no such successor will have been so appointed by BDC and will have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications specified in Section 11.7(a) (which for

    - 39 -
certainty may not be BDC), provided that if the Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation will nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Agent will continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent will instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as BDC appoints a successor Agent as provided for above in the preceding paragraph.
(c)Upon a successor's appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former Agent, and the former Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in the preceding paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent will be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the termination of the service of the former Agent, the provisions of this Article 11 and of Section 13.5 will continue in effect for the benefit of such former Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the former Agent was acting as Agent.
(d)If there is no Lender that meets the qualifications specified in Section 11.7(a) except for BDC or if none of BDC and the other Lenders (excluding the existing Agent) is prepared to act as the successor Agent, then a Person that is not a Lender but has nationally recognized qualifications and experience in performing the duties of an administrative agent, may be appointed as the successor Agent.
11.8Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or employees and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or employees and based on such documents and information as it will from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
11.9Collective Action of the Lenders
Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any collateral security and the remedies provided under the Credit Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under any collateral security are to be exercised not severally, but by the Agent upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders (or (A) by all Lenders when the consent or approval of all Lenders is required pursuant to Section 12.3; or (B) by BDC when only the consent or approval of BDC is required pursuant to Section 12.2). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it will not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including, without limitation, any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder or acceleration of the Borrowings but that any such action will be taken only by the Agent upon the prior written instruction of the Majority Lenders (or (A) by all Lenders when the consent or approval of all Lenders is required pursuant to Section 12.3; or (B) by BDC when

    - 40 -
only the consent or approval of BDC is required pursuant to Section 12.2). Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written instruction being given, it will co-operate fully with the Agent to the extent requested by the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Majority Lenders (or (A) by all Lenders when the consent or approval of all Lenders is required pursuant to Section 12.3; or (B) by BDC when only the consent or approval of BDC is required pursuant to Section 12.2) and where in the sole opinion of the Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Agent may, without notice to or consent of BDC or the other Lenders, take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders.
11.10Payments by the Borrower
Prior to an Event of Default that is continuing, all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement will be made to and received by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders and will be distributed by the Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares as soon as possible upon receipt by the Agent.
11.11Knowledge and Required Action
The Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than the non-payment of any principal, interest or other amount to the extent the same is required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is given pursuant to this Section. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, it will give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders, and will also give prompt notice to the Lenders of each non-payment of any amount required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders. The Agent will take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as will be directed by the Majority Lenders (or (A) by all Lenders when the consent or approval of all Lenders is required pursuant to Section 12.3; or (B) by BDC when only the consent or approval of BDC is required pursuant to Section 12.2); provided that, unless and until the Agent will have received such direction the Agent may, but will not be obliged to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it will deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders; and provided further that the Agent will not in any case be required to take any such action which it determines to be contrary to the Credit Documents or to any Applicable Law.
11.12Request for Instructions
The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Majority Lenders (or (A) by all Lenders when the consent or approval of all Lenders is required pursuant to Section 12.3; or (B) by BDC when only the consent or approval of BDC is required pursuant to Section 12.2) with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of any of the Credit Documents, the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and the Agent will be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any such action or to withhold any such approval and will not be under any liability whatsoever as a result thereof until it will have received such instructions from the Majority Lenders (or (A) by all Lenders when the consent or approval of all Lenders is required pursuant to Section 12.3; or (B) by BDC when only the consent or approval of BDC is required pursuant to Section 12.2). No Lender will have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Credit Documents in accordance with instructions from the Majority Lenders (or (A) by all Lenders when the consent or approval of all Lenders is required pursuant to Section 12.3; or (B) by BDC when only the consent or approval of BDC is required pursuant to Section 12.2). The Agent will in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take or continue any action under the Credit Documents unless it will have received further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 11.5 against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action, and unless it will be secured in respect thereof as it may deem appropriate.

    - 41 -
11.13Payments by Agent
For greater certainty, the following provisions will apply to any and all payments made by the Agent to the Lenders hereunder:
(a)the Agent will be under no obligation to make any payment (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) to any Lender until an amount in respect of such payment has been received by the Agent from the Borrower; provided however that unless the Agent will have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute the amount due to the Lenders. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation;
(b)if the Agent receives less than the full amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount owing by the Borrower under this Agreement, then the Agent will have no obligation to remit to each Lender any amount other than such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount actually received by the Agent;
(c)if any Lender advances more or less than its Pro Rata Share of a requested Borrowing, such Lender's entitlement to such payment will be increased or reduced, as the case may be, in proportion to the amount actually advanced by such Lender;
(d)the Agent acting reasonably and in good faith will, after consultation with the Lenders in the case of any dispute, determine in all cases the amount of all payments to which each Lender is entitled and such determination will, in the absence of manifest error, be binding and conclusive;
(e)upon request of any Lender, the Agent will deliver a statement detailing any of the payments to the Lenders referred to herein; and
(f)all payments by the Agent to a Lender hereunder will be made to such Lender at its address set forth in the signature pages on this Agreement or on the applicable Assignment and Assumption unless notice to the contrary is received by the Agent from such Lender.
11.14Additional Rights of Agent
(a)In administering the Term Facility, the Agent may retain, at the expense of the Lenders if such expenses are not recoverable from the Borrower, such solicitors, counsel, auditors and other experts and agents as the Agent may select, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith after consultation with the Lenders.
(b)Except in its own right as a Lender, the Agent will not be required to advance its own funds for any purpose, and in particular, will not be required to pay with its own funds insurance premiums, taxes or public utility charges or the cost of repairs or maintenance with respect to the assets which are the subject matter of the Security, nor will it be required to pay with its own funds the fees of solicitors, counsel, auditors, experts or agents engaged by it as permitted hereby.

    - 42 -
(c)The Agent may round an individual Lender's Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing to the nearest $1,000 in Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars, as the case may be.
(d)The Agent will be entitled to scan and provide by email to the Lenders or post to Syndtrak (or any other equivalent service) all financial and other information it receives from the Borrower.
11.15Electronic Communications
(a)Notices and other communications by the Agent to the Lenders or from the Lenders to the Agent hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing will not apply to notices to any Lender of Borrowings to be made if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving such notices by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, acting reasonably, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
(b)Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address will be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication will be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website will be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.
11.16Provisions for Benefit of Lenders Only
The provisions of Article 11 and Article 12 relating to the rights and obligations of the Lenders inter se or the rights and obligations of the Lenders and the Agent inter se will be operative as between the Lenders and the Agent only, and the Credit Parties will not have any rights under or be entitled to rely for any purposes upon such provisions.
Article 12DECISIONS, WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS
12.1Decisions, Amendments and Waivers by the Majority Lenders
Subject to Sections 12.2 and 12.3, any consent, approval, (including any approval of or authorization for any amendment to any of the Credit Documents), instruction, decision, determination or other expression of the Lenders under, or any waiver of, or deferral of the requirements or application of, any provision of, any of the Credit Documents will require the consent or approval of the Majority Lenders (or (A) as provided in Section 12.2, BDC alone; or (B) as provided in Section 12.3, all of the Lenders).

For certainty, each such decision made with the consent of BDC alone (or BDC and some but not all of the other Lenders) will be binding upon all of the Lenders, and the Agent (subject to the provisions for its indemnity contained in this Agreement) will be bound to give effect thereto accordingly. For certainty, the right of BDC alone to make the decisions relating to Enforcement Actions will not include any of the following decisions or actions (which will require the consent or approval of all of the Lenders):

(i)the commencement and continuance of any action or proceeding against any Person other than a Credit Party (except in connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders against the Senior Lenders under the Intercreditor Agreement).
Notwithstanding the foregoing and for certainty, BDC agrees that it will consult with the other Lenders with respect to all Enforcement Actions prior to making each of its decisions in connection therewith and will ensure that the Lenders receive timely information and reporting as to the Enforcement Actions taken.
12.3Amendments and Waivers requiring consent of all Lenders
An amendment, waiver, consent, approval or decision that relates to any of the following matters will require the consent or approval of each Lender and may be only made or given by

(a)any increase in the amount of the Term Facility or any decision that would require any Lender to advance additional loans;

(b)Notwithstanding Section 13.3(a):
(i)BDC may Transfer all or any part of its Commitment or Borrowings to a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada without the consent of the other Lenders, provided that the Wholly-Owned Subsidiary will enter into an agreement with the other parties agreeing to perform the obligations of the transferring party under this Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the other parties;

The Agent will maintain at one of its offices in Toronto, Ontario or Montréal, Québec a copy of each Transfer delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Borrowings owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register will be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

In addition to and not in limitation of any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law, at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is subsisting, the Lenders, or any of them, may at any time and from time to time without notice to the Borrower or any other Person, any notice being expressly waived by each of the Credit Parties, set-off and compensate and apply any and all deposits, general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, matured or unmatured, and any other indebtedness at any time owing by any Lender, to or for the credit of or the account of any Credit Party, against and on account of the debts and liabilities of the Borrower under any of the Credit Documents, notwithstanding that any of them are contingent or unmatured. The parties hereto acknowledge that each Commercial Lender is a lender pursuant to the Senior Credit Agreement and that any exercise by any such Person of any set-off as against a Credit Party will (unless expressly stated in writing to the Agent and BDC to the contrary) be exercised by such Person in its capacity as a lender under and pursuant to the Senior Credit Agreement.
13.7Yield Protection and Indemnification
(a)If subsequent to the Effective Date any change in or introduction of any Applicable Law, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive by any central bank, superintendent of financial institutions or other comparable authority, will subject such Lender to any tax with respect to the Term Facility or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of any amount payable under the Term Facility (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender), or impose any capital maintenance or capital adequacy requirement, reserve requirement or similar requirement with respect to the Term Facility, or impose on such Lender, any other condition or restriction, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining the Term Facility or any amount thereunder or to reduce any amount otherwise received by such Lender under the Term Facility, such Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of such event and the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount calculated by such Lender as is necessary to compensate it for such additional cost or reduced amount received. A certificate of such Lender as to any such additional amount payable to it and containing reasonable details of the calculation thereof will be conclusive evidence thereof.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives whether concerning capital adequacy or liquidity promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, will, in each case, be deemed a change in Applicable Law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, applied or issued.
(b)The Borrower hereby indemnifies each Secured Party, their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) and agrees to hold them harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expense (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee on a full indemnity basis), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance or non-performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation or non-consummation of the transactions

    - 47 -
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Borrowings or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) the non-compliance by any Credit Party with any Environmental Laws or of any claim under Environmental Laws in connection with the operations of, or any property owned or operated by, any of the Credit Parties, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Credit Party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity will not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Credit Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, if the Credit Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favour on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c)The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Indemnitees and agrees to hold them harmless from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses, including any loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by any Indemnitee to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain any amount under the Term Facility and any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or re employing deposits from which such funds were obtained, which may be incurred by an Indemnitee as a consequence of (i) default by the Borrower in the payment when due of any amount hereunder or the occurrence of any other default relative to the Term Facility, (ii) default by the Borrower in obtaining any amount after the Borrower has given notice hereunder that it desires to obtain such amount, (iii) default by the Borrower in making any optional repayment of any amount after the Borrower has given notice hereunder that it desires to make such repayment, or (iv) the repayment of any loan on which interest is payable at a fixed annual rate otherwise than on the expiration of the fixed interest rate period applicable thereto, or the repayment of any other amount otherwise than on any specified maturity date thereof. A certificate of an Indemnitee as to any such loss or expense and containing reasonable details of the calculation thereof will be prima facie evidence thereof.
(d)All amounts due under this Section will be payable promptly after demand therefor. A certificate of the Agent or a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts owing to the Agent, Lender or a sub-agent or other Indemnitee, as the case may be, as specified in this Section, including reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrower will be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under foregoing paragraphs of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), its Affiliates or its officers, directors, employees and agents, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Lender's Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) its Affiliates or its officers, directors, employees and agents. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph are several and not joint or joint and several.
(f)To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Credit Parties will not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of

    - 48 -
liability, for indirect, consequential, punitive, aggravated or exemplary damages (as opposed to direct damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby (or any breach thereof), the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Borrowings or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee will be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
13.8Corrections of Errors
The Lenders are authorized to correct any typographical error or other error of an editorial nature in this Agreement and to substitute such corrected text in the counterparts of this Agreement, provided that such corrections do not modify the meaning or the interpretation of this Agreement and provided that copies of the corrected texts are remitted to each party.
13.9Confidentiality
(a)The Credit Parties and the Secured Parties hereto agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined in Section 13.9(b)), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to their Affiliates and their Affiliates' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over them (including any self-regulatory authority), (iii) to the extent required by Applicable Law or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.9(a), to (x) any assignee or any prospective assignee of any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative, credit-linked note or similar transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or the applicable Secured Party (as the case may be) or (viii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.9(a) or (y) becomes available to any of the Secured Parties on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.
(b)For purposes of Section 13.9(a), “Information” means all information related to the Credit Documents and all information received by the Secured Parties in connection with this Agreement from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any of the Secured Parties on a non-confidential basis prior to such receipt. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in Section 13.9(a) will be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders may publicize the Term Facility by means of press releases, “tombstone” advertisements, reporting to Bloomberg and other similar agencies or dissemination on its website or other platforms (including third party platforms);

13.10Counterparts; Electronic Execution
This Agreement and each other Credit Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Credit Document will be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Credit Document. The words “execution”, “execute”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document will be deemed to include electronic signatures, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which will be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including, without limitation, as in provided Parts 2 and 3 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada), the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (Ontario), the Electronic Transaction Acts (British Columbia), the Electronic Transactions Act (Alberta), An Act to establish a Legal Framework for Information Technology (Québec) or any other similar laws based on the Uniform Electronic Commerce Act of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada. The Agent may, in its discretion, require that any such documents and signatures executed electronically or delivered by electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same will not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature executed electronically or delivered by electronic transmission.
