4
days (as applicable).

The Bankers' Acceptance Stamping Fee shall be calculated at the applicable BA Stamping Fee Rate, based on a year of 365 days.

Such interest shall be calculated monthly in arrears and be payable on each Interest Payment Date for the period immediately prior to the Interest Payment Date and shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days (as applicable).

Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, upon timely fulfillment of all applicable conditions as set forth in this Agreement, the Lender will make the requested amount of Prime Rate Advance available to the applicable Borrower on the Drawdown Date requested by such Borrower, as applicable, by crediting such amount to the Designated Account maintained by such Borrower at the Branch of Account, or in the case of the initial Drawdown by the Lender forwarding the amount of such Advance to the solicitors to the Borrowers or the Lender, upon such trust conditions as the Lender may reasonably require. Prime Rate Advances shall also be available under Credit A by a Borrower maintaining an overdraft in a Canadian Dollar Designated Account. Each Prime Rate Advance under Credit B shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in whole multiples of $100,000 thereafter. The Borrowers shall pay interest to the Lender at such address as the Lender designates from time to time on all such Prime Rate Advances outstanding from time to time hereunder at the applicable rate of interest specified in Section 7.1. Interest on each Prime Rate Advance shall be calculated
5
daily and payable monthly on each Interest Payment Date on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable year. All interest shall accrue from day to day and shall be payable in arrears for the actual number of days elapsed from and including the date of Advance or the previous date on which interest was payable, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which interest is payable, both before and after demand, maturity, default and judgment, with interest on overdue interest at the rate applicable to Prime Rate Advance Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum and payable on demand.
Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, upon timely fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Lender will make the requested amount of a FROL Advance available to the applicable Borrower on the Drawdown Date requested by such Borrower, as applicable, by crediting such amount to the Designated Account maintained by such Borrower at the Branch of Account. Each FROL Advance under Credit B or Credit C shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in whole multiples of $100,000 thereafter. The Borrowers shall pay interest to the Lender at such address as the Lender designates from time to time on all such FROL Advances outstanding from time to time hereunder at the applicable rate of interest payable monthly on each Interest Payment Date on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable year. All interest shall accrue from day to day and shall be payable in arrears for the actual number of days elapsed from and including the date of Advance or the previous date on which interest was payable, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which interest is payable, both before and after demand, maturity, default and judgment, with interest on overdue interest at the rate applicable to FROL Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum and payable on demand.
The applicable Borrower may select, by irrevocable notice to the Lender, the FROL Period to apply to any particular FROL Advance. The applicable Borrower shall from time to time select and give notice to the Lender of the FROL Period for a FROL Advance which shall commence upon the making of the FROL Advance or at the expiry of any outstanding FROL Period applicable to a FROL Advance that is the subject of a Rollover. If the applicable Borrower fails to select and give the Lender notice of a FROL Period for a FROL Advance in accordance with Section 9.5, any such FROL Advance shall be converted to a Prime Rate Advance under the applicable Facility, on the last day of the FROL Period applicable to such FROL Advance.
If at any time the Lender determines, acting reasonably, (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that it is not willing or able to provide a FROL Advance to a Borrower, then the Lender shall inform the Borrowers and the right of the Borrowers to request FROL Advances from the Lender shall be and remain suspended until the Lender notifies the Borrowers that FROL Advances are available. In addition to the foregoing, the Lender shall not have any obligation to make a FROL Advance to any Borrower until such ancillary documents, including applications and other documents as it normally requires for similar transactions, has been executed by the Borrowers and delivered to the Lender.
FROL Advances may not be repaid by any Borrower prior to the end of the applicable FROL Period."

"9.5 Notice of Advances

Each Borrower will provide the Lender with at least three (3) Business Days' notice of its request for a FROL Advance, a BA Advance, a Letter of Credit Advance or a LIBOR Advance. In the event a Borrower fails to give three (3) Business Days prior notice to the Lender of a conversion of a Prime Rate Advance to a BA Advance or a FROL Advance, the Lender may decline to accept Bankers' Acceptances or FROL Advances requested within this three (3) Business Day period.
Notice shall be given on the day of any Prime Rate Advance, provided however, Prime Rate Advances under Credit A, may be made by way of overdraft in a Borrower's Designated Account, without any notice.
