CREDIT FACILITY

Section 2.1 Facility

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Lender hereby agrees to make available to the Borrowers a revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) in a maximum Principal Amount, including pursuant to the MasterCard Limit, the Hedging Arrangements and the Letters of Credit, not exceeding the Revolving Commitment.

Section 2.2 Advances

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow under the Facility provided that the Accommodations Outstandings do not at any time exceed the Line Cap at such time.

- 39 -

Section 2.3 Availments

The Borrowers may avail themselves of the Facility at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make Accommodations available to (a) the Canadian Borrower under the Facility by way of Prime Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, CORRA Loans, SOFR Loans, Letters of Credit, Hedging Arrangements and MasterCard Advances, and (b) to the US Borrower under the Facility by way of Letters of Credit, US Prime Rate Loans and MasterCard Advances. For greater certainty, all Advances to the US Borrower shall be made by the Chicago Branch. The Borrowers have the option of allocating any portion of the Facility to the US Borrower in US Dollars and to change such allocation on a quarterly basis at the end of each fiscal quarter upon providing the Lender with ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of such allocation. As of the Closing Date, the current allocation of the Facility to the US Borrower and BMO Chicago is US$1,574,889.

Section 2.4 Purpose of Advances

The Borrowers shall use the proceeds of all Advances hereunder for such legal and proper purposes as are consistent with all Applicable Laws and with the terms of this Agreement; and without limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers shall use the proceeds of any particular Advance as follows:

(a) the proceeds of all Advances under the Facility (other than Advances pursuant to Hedging Arrangements) shall be used solely to provide for the ongoing general corporate and working capital purposes of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties; and

(b) the proceeds of all Advances pursuant to Hedging Arrangements shall be used solely to assist in foreign exchange risk management by the Canadian Borrower in the normal course of its operations.

Section 2.5 Borrowing Procedures

(1) Drawdown Notice. Each Advance (other than an Advance pursuant to a Hedging Agreement or a MasterCard Advance) shall be made upon the relevant Borrower’s irrevocable written notice, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit “C” (a “Drawdown Notice”), delivered to the Lender at or before the applicable time specified below for such Type of Advance:

Type of Advance	Notice
Prime Rate Loans	Before 11:00 a.m. on the applicable Drawdown Date.
Base Rate Loans	Before 11:00 a.m. on the applicable Drawdown Date.

- 40 -

Type of Advance	Notice

(2) Drawdown Notice Irrevocable. Any Drawdown Notice made pursuant to Section 2.5(1) shall be irrevocable and the applicable Borrower shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith. The crediting of the applicable Advance to the applicable Borrower in the Lender’s records conclusively establishes, in the absence of manifest error, such Borrower’s obligation to repay such Advance as provided herein.

(3) No Liability. The Lender shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability to the Borrowers as a result of acting upon, any Drawdown Notice. The Lender shall not be responsible for any error or omission in any Drawdown Notice or in the performance thereof and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender for any Loss or expense suffered or incurred by the Lender as a consequence of the Lender acting upon instructions given in any such Drawdown Notice by any Borrower.

(4) Limits on Advances. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not request an Advance under the Facility, and the Lender shall not be obligated to make an Advance under the Facility, if:

(a) the amount of such proposed Advance exceeds the Excess Availability under the Facility at such time;

(b) such Advance would have a maturity date, Contract Period or Interest Period, as applicable, that extends beyond the Maturity Date of the Facility;

(c) Section 3.5 would be applicable to such Advance;

(d) such Advance is a CORRA Loan and after making such Advance, more than three (3) different Interest Periods would be in effect for outstanding CORRA Loans; or

- 41 -

(e) such Advance is a SOFR Loan and after making such Advance, more than three (3) different Interest Periods would be in effect for outstanding SOFR Loans.

(5) Determination of Rates and Fees. Each determination by the Lender of any applicable rate or fee shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

Section 2.6 Reserves

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to establish Reserves, and to adjust the amount of any existing Reserve, against the amount of Loan which the Borrowers may otherwise request hereunder, in such amounts and with respect to such matters as the Lender shall deem necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, (i) Reserves in respect of dilution and Reserves in respect of amounts owing by any Credit Party to holders of Liens that may have priority over the Liens of the Lender (regardless of whether such third party Liens are Permitted Liens) and (ii) Reserves in respect of any accounts payable that are more than thirty (30) days past the date on which payment thereof is due. The amount of all Reserves established by the Lender shall be subtracted from the Borrowing Base when calculating the Excess Availability in respect of the Facility. In addition, the Lender may from time to time reduce the percentages applicable to Eligible Accounts as they relate to the Borrowing Base, to the extent determined necessary or appropriate by the Lender.

Section 2.7 Bank Products

The Borrowers may request and the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for the Borrowers to obtain, Bank Products. If Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of the Lender, the Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from all costs and obligations now or hereafter incurred by the Lender which arise from any indemnity given by the Lender to such Affiliate related to such Bank Products. This indemnity obligation shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of Bank Products from the Lender or any of its Affiliates is subject to all rules and regulations of the Lender or such Affiliate that are applicable to such Bank Products.

Section 2.8 Conversion of Loans

Subject to this Agreement, the Canadian Borrower may, during the term of this Agreement, effective on any Business Day, convert, in whole or in part, any outstanding Advance (other than Advances by way of Letter of Credit, Hedging Arrangement or MasterCard Advance) under the Facility into another Type of Advance permitted under the Facility (other than an Advance by way of Letter of Credit, Hedging Arrangement or MasterCard Advance) upon the Canadian Borrower’s irrevocable written notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D” (a “Rollover/Conversion Notice”), delivered to the Lender at or before the applicable time specified in Section 2.5(1) for the Type of Advance into which the outstanding Advance is to be converted, subject to the following conditions:

(a) notwithstanding any other term in this Agreement, no Advance denominated in Canadian Dollars may be converted into an Advance denominated in US Dollars

- 42 -

and no Advance denominated in US Dollars may be converted into an Advance denominated in Canadian Dollars;

(b) each Conversion shall be for minimum aggregate amounts and whole multiples in excess thereof as are specified in respect of that Type of Advance in this Agreement, as applicable;

(c) a SOFR Loan may only be converted on the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

(d) a CORRA Loan may only be converted on the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

(e) a Conversion into a SOFR Loan or a CORRA Loan shall only be made to the extent that the conditions outlined in Section 3.4 do not exist in respect of such SOFR Loan or such CORRA Loan, as the case may be, on the relevant Conversion Date; and

(f) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the relevant Conversion Date or shall result after giving effect to the Conversion to be made on such Conversion Date.

Section 2.9 Conversion and Rollover Not Repayment

Section 2.10 Deposit of Proceeds of Advances

The Lender shall credit to the Canadian Borrower’s Account or the US Borrower’s Account, as applicable, on the applicable Drawdown Date the proceeds of each Advance made by way of Prime Rate Loan, CORRA Loan, Base Rate Loan, US Prime Rate Loan or SOFR Loan.

Section 2.11 Evidence of Obligations

The Lender shall open and maintain at its Branch of Account, accounts and records evidencing the Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and all Advances and repayments made hereunder, which shall constitute conclusive evidence thereof in the absence of manifest error provided, however, that the obligations of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties to make payment under and in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected by any failure of the Lender to make or maintain any such account or record. The Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, require the Borrowers to execute and deliver to the Lender promissory notes from time to time as additional evidence of the Obligations.

(b) in the case of SOFR Loans, a change in the SOFR Margin as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter will apply on the maturity date of the Interest Period in respect of such SOFR Loan; and

(4) If any Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and the Lender in its discretion so elects, then, while any such Default or Event of Default is continuing, all of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable thereto.

Section 3.2 Overdue Amounts

Without duplication, the Borrowers shall pay interest on any Excess Amount, upon demand by the Lender (a) for Excess Amounts in Canadian Dollars, at the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2.00% per annum, and (b) for Excess Amounts in US Dollars, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2.00% per annum, in each case calculated on a daily basis on the actual number of days elapsed in a 360, 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, computed from the date on which such Excess Amount arises to, but excluding, the date on which such Excess Amount is repaid and shall be compounded on the last Business Day of each month ending during such period of arrears.

Section 3.4 Rates

The Lender does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Prime Rate, Base Rate, US Prime Rate, the Term CORRA Reference Rate, Adjusted Term CORRA, Term CORRA, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Prime Rate, Base Rate, US Prime Rate, the Term CORRA Reference Rate, Adjusted Term CORRA, Term CORRA, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Lender and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Prime Rate, Base Rate, US Prime Rate, the Term CORRA Reference Rate, Adjusted Term CORRA, Term CORRA, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers.

Section 3.5 Inability to Determine Rates

(1) Subject to Section 3.7, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any CORRA Loan or SOFR Loan, as applicable: (i) the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term CORRA” or “Adjusted Term SOFR”, as applicable, cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, for reasons other than a Benchmark Transition Event, or (ii) the Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a CORRA Loan or SOFR Loan, as

- 46 -

applicable, or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term CORRA or Adjusted Term SOFR, as applicable, for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed CORRA Loan or SOFR Loan, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making and maintaining such Loan, the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrowers.

(2) Upon delivery of such notice by the Lender to the Borrowers under Section 3.5(1), any obligation of the Lender to make CORRA Loans or SOFR Loans, as applicable, and any right of the Borrowers to continue CORRA Loans or SOFR Loans, as applicable, or to convert Prime Rate Loans to CORRA Loans or Base Rate Loans or US Prime Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected CORRA Loans or SOFR Loans, as applicable, or affected Interest Periods) until the Lender revokes such notice.

(3) Upon receipt of such notice by the Lender to the Borrowers under Section 3.5(1), (i)(x) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of CORRA Loans or SOFR Loans, as applicable (to the extent of the affected CORRA Loans or SOFR Loans, as applicable, or affected Interest Periods); (y) in respect of CORRA Loans, the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or Conversion to Prime Rate Loans, in the amount specified therein; and (z) in respect of SOFR Loans, the Canadian Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or Conversion to Base Rate Loans and the US Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or Conversion to US Prime Rate Loans, as the case may be, in the amount specified therein; and (ii) (x) in respect of CORRA Loans, any outstanding affected CORRA Loans will be deemed to have been converted, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, into Prime Rate Loans; and (y) in respect of SOFR Loans, any outstanding affected SOFR Loans made to the Canadian Borrower will be deemed to have been converted, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, into Base Rate Loans and any outstanding affected SOFR Loans made to the US Borrower will be deemed to have been converted, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, into US Prime Rate Loans. Upon any such conversions, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.16.

Section 3.6 Payment of Interest

(1) Accrued interest in relation to each CORRA Loan and each SOFR Loan shall be payable in arrears on the earlier of the last day of the relevant Interest Period. Accrued interest in relation to each Prime Rate Loan, each Base Rate Loan and each US Prime Rate Loan shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of the following month.

(2) Interest on each Loan hereunder on which interest is payable shall accrue from day to day from the first day of an Interest Period, Contract Period or the Drawdown Date, as the case may be, to the last day of the Interest Period, Contract Period or Drawdown Date, as the case may be, and shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by, in the case of a SOFR Loan and a US Prime Rate Loan, 360, and, in the case

- 47 -

of each Prime Rate Loan, CORRA Loan and Base Rate Loan, the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year, whether 365 or 366, as the case may be.

(3) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a period other than a calendar year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to such rate as determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends and divided by the number of days comprising such other period.

(4) The Lender’s certificate as to each amount and/or each rate of interest payable hereunder shall, in the absence of error which the Borrowers can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lender, be conclusive evidence of such amount and/or rate.

(5) If any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document would obligate any Borrower or a Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding that provision, that amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or result in a receipt by the Lender of interest at a criminal rate, the adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows:

(a) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lender under this Article 3; and

(b) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of the Criminal Code (Canada);

provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lender receives an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code (Canada), then the applicable Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Lender, to obtain reimbursement from the Lender in an amount equal to the excess, and pending reimbursement, the amount of the excess shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Lender to the Borrower.

(6) Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Advance remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the earlier of the date of advance and the Original Closing Date to the relevant Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Lender shall be conclusive for the purposes of that determination.

If the Benchmark Replacement is based upon Daily Compounded CORRA or Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis. No agreement subject to any Hedging Arrangement shall be deemed to be a “Credit Document” for the purposes of this Section 3.7.

(2) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(5) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of Loans, which bear interest at a rate based upon such then-current Benchmark, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period for such then-current Benchmark and, failing that, the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or Conversion to, (i) for a Benchmark Unavailability Period in respect of Canadian Dollars to the Canadian Borrower, Prime Rate Loans, (ii) for a Benchmark Unavailability Period in respect of US Dollars to the Canadian Borrower, Base Rate Loans, and (iii) for a Benchmark Unavailability Period in respect of US Dollars to the US Borrower, US Prime Rate Loans.

Section 14.2 Rights upon Default and Event of Default

Upon the occurrence of a Default, which is continuing, the Lender may, on notice to the Borrowers, declare that the ability of the Borrowers to require any further Advances under the Facility shall be suspended. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Lender may do either or both of the following:

(a) declare that the Revolving Commitment under the Facility has expired and that the Lender’s obligation to make Advances has terminated; and

(b) declare the entire principal amount of all Advances outstanding, all unpaid accrued interest and all fees and other amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers hereunder to be immediately due and payable without the necessity of presentment for payment, notice of non-payment and of protest (all of which are hereby

- 89 -

expressly waived) and proceed to exercise any and all rights and remedies hereunder and under any other Credit Document.

From and after the issuance of any declaration referred to in this Section 13.2, the Lender shall not be required to honour any cheque or other instrument presented to it by the Borrowers regardless of the date of issue or presentation. Immediately upon receipt of a declaration under Section 14.2(b), the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender all amounts outstanding hereunder including, without limitation, the Deemed Hedge Exposure owing under each Hedging Arrangement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Lender the maximum amount payable under all outstanding Letters of Credit, which are unmatured or unexpired, which amounts shall be held by the Lender as collateral security for such Borrower’s obligations with respect to those Letters of Credit, as applicable. The Deemed Hedge Exposure under any Hedging Arrangement shall be determined in accordance with the applicable Hedge Agreement.

Section 14.3 Waiver of Default

No express or implied waiver by the Lender of any demand, Default or Event of Default shall in any way be or be construed to be a waiver of any future or subsequent Default or Event of Default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Credit Parties hereby waive any rights now or thereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which may limit or modify any of the Lender’s rights or remedies under any Credit Document. Each Credit Party agrees that the exercise by the Lender of any rights or remedies under any Credit Document without having declared an acceleration shall not in any way alter, affect or prejudice the right of the Lender to make a declaration pursuant to Section 14.2 at any time and, without limiting the foregoing, shall not be construed as or deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights under Section 14.2.

Article 15
REMEDIES

Section 15.1 Remedies Cumulative

For greater certainty, the rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by law. Any single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy upon the occurrence of a demand, Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to be a waiver of, or to alter, affect or prejudice any other right or remedy to which the Lender may be lawfully entitled as a result of the demand, Default or Event of Default, and any waiver by the Lender of the strict observance of, performance of or compliance with any term, covenant, condition or agreement herein contained, and any indulgence granted thereby, shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any subsequent demand, Default or Event of Default.

Section 15.2 Remedies Not Limited

The Lender may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, bring suit at law, in equity or otherwise, for any available relief or purpose including, but not limited to: (a) the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document; (b) an injunction against a violation of any of the terms of this Agreement or any other

- 90 -

Credit Document; (c) in aid of the exercise of any power granted by this Agreement or any other Credit Document or by law; or (d) the recovery of any judgment for any and all amounts due in respect of the Obligations.

Section 15.3 Set-Off

Upon the occurrence of demand, Default or Event of Default, the Lender and each of its branches (including the Chicago Branch) and offices are hereby authorized by each Credit Party from time to time, without notice to: (a) set-off and apply any and all amounts owing by the Lender or any of its branches or offices to any Credit Party (whether payable in Canadian Dollars or any other currency and any amounts so owing in any other currency may be converted into one or more currencies in which the Obligations are denominated at such rate or rates as the party may be able to obtain, acting reasonably, and whether matured or unmatured, and in the case of deposits, whether general or special, time or demand and however evidenced) against and on account of the Obligations (whether or not any declaration under Section 14.2 has been made and whether or not those Obligations are unmatured or contingent); (b) hold any amounts owing by the Lender as collateral to secure payment of the Obligations owing to it to the extent that those amounts may be required to satisfy any contingent or unmatured Obligations owing to it; and (c) return as unpaid for insufficient funds any and all cheques and other items drawn against any deposits so held as the Lender in its sole discretion may elect. For greater certainty, and in addition to the rights, powers and remedies set out above, the Lender and each of its branches and offices may exercise at their discretion any and all set-off and other rights and remedies afforded to each of them pursuant to Applicable Law.

Section 15.4 Lender May Perform Covenants

If any Credit Party fails to perform any of its obligations under any covenant contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Lender may (but has no obligation to), upon notice to the Borrowers, perform any covenant on behalf of such Credit Party and, if the covenant requires the payment or expenditure of money, the Lender may make Advances to fund such expenditure, and such Advances shall constitute Prime Rate Loans under the Facility and shall be repaid by the Borrowers upon demand by the Lender.

Article 16
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 16.1 Assignment

(1) This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and any permitted Assignees. The Credit Parties shall not assign, delegate or transfer all or any part of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent may be withheld in the Lender’s sole discretion.

(2) Subject to Section 16.1(3), the Lender may, provided such assignment is at no additional cost to the Credit Parties, without the prior written consent of the Borrowers, assign all or any part of its rights and obligations in respect of the Credit Documents to one or more financial institutions or other entities (each an “Assignee”), and any such assignment shall

- 91 -

become effective upon receipt by the Borrowers of (i) written notice from the Lender that it has assigned all or any part of its rights under the Credit Documents and (ii) a written undertaking from the Assignee (addressed to all the parties to this Agreement) agreeing to be bound by this Agreement and to perform the obligations assigned to it. Any Assignee shall be treated as a lender for all purposes of this Agreement, shall be entitled to the full benefit hereof and shall be subject to the obligations of the Lender to the same extent as if it were an original party in respect of the rights or obligations assigned to it, and the Lender shall be released and discharged accordingly and to the same extent, and the Schedules hereto, as applicable, shall be amended accordingly from time to time without further notice or other requirement.

(3) Notwithstanding Section 16.1(2), the Lender may not assign all or any part of its rights to or have any of its obligations assumed by any private equity fund or hedge fund that in the ordinary course of business invests in debt (a) considered to be very weak, (b) where the issuer of such debt is in imminent default to its creditor(s), or (c) where the issuer of such debt is in insolvency proceedings, unless, in each case, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or upon the exercise of any rights pursuant to Section 13.2.

(4) The Lender may disclose to any prospective Assignee, on a confidential basis, such information concerning the Credit Parties, their businesses and properties as it considers appropriate, without liability to any Credit Party.

Section 16.2 Amendments

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by a party from any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing, and any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance, for the specific purpose and for the specific length of time for which it is given.

Section 16.3 Notice

Unless otherwise specified, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given to a party under this Agreement shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or sent by prepaid registered mail, e-mail, PDF or facsimile, to the address, e-mail address or facsimile number of the party set out beside its name at the foot of this Agreement to the attention of the Person there indicated or to such other address, e-mail address, facsimile number or other Person's attention as the party may have specified by notice in writing given under this Section. Any notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been given (i) if delivered personally, when received; (ii) if mailed, subject to Section 15.4, on the fifth Business Day following the date of mailing; (iii) if sent by facsimile or e-mail, on the Business Day when the appropriate confirmation of receipt has been received if the confirmation of receipt has been received before 3:00 p.m. on that Business Day or, if the confirmation of receipt has been received after 3:00 p.m. on that Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day; and (iv) if sent by facsimile or e-mail on a day which is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day on which confirmation of receipt has been received. All communication with any Credit Party hereunder may be directed through the Canadian Borrower. For greater certainty, any notice or other document or instrument which is required to be given or delivered to any Credit Party hereunder shall be deemed (unless

- 92 -

notice to such Credit Party is required by Applicable Law) to have been given to and received by such Credit Party if given to the Canadian Borrower.

Section 16.4 Disruption of Postal Service

If a notice has been sent by prepaid registered mail and before the fifth Business Day after the mailing there is a discontinuance or interruption of regular postal service so that the notice cannot reasonably be expected to be delivered within five Business Days after the mailing, the notice will be deemed to have been given when it is actually received (or upon refusal of receipt).

Section 16.5 Environmental Indemnity

Each Credit Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all Claims and Losses incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, the Indemnified Person, with respect to or as a direct or indirect result of, (a) the presence on or under, or any Release of any Hazardous Substance from any of the Collateral, comprising real property or any other real properties owned or used by any of the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their successors and assigns; or (b) the breach of any Applicable Laws by any mortgagor, owner, lessee or occupant of such properties. The obligations of each of the Credit Parties under this Section 16.5 shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of the Facility.

Section 16.6 Further Assurances

Each Credit Party agrees to comply with all terms and conditions of each of the Credit Documents and, at any time and from time to time, upon request of the Lender, to execute and deliver to the Lender, such further Credit Documents or instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Lender may deem necessary or desirable to ensure such compliance, to give effect to the intent of the Credit Documents and to secure the Obligations, including, without limitation, executing and delivering, or causing to be executed and delivered, such further Credit Documents or instruments as may be necessary or desirable to (i) give the Lender a first priority Lien in any and all property and assets now or hereafter acquired by any Credit Party, subject only to Permitted Liens, and (ii) to assign all or any part of the Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder to any Assignee.

Section 16.7 Judgment Currency

If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert all or any part of the liabilities or any other amount due to the Lender in respect of any of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), each Credit Party to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, agrees that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is paid or satisfied. The obligations of the applicable Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to the Lender shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency the Lender may, in accordance with its normal banking procedures, purchase the Original

- 93 -

Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lender against such Loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Lender agrees to remit such excess to the applicable Borrower.

Section 16.8 Waivers

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege shall preclude the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 16.9 Reimbursement of Expenses

The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree to: (a) pay or reimburse the Lender on demand, for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents including any subsequent amendments of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and the consummation and the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Lender; and (b) pay or reimburse, on demand, the Lender for all its costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with the determination, preservation and enforcement of any responsibilities, rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. The obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 16.9 shall survive the repayment of all Advances and the termination of the Facility.

Section 16.10 Governing Law

This Agreement and each of the Credit Documents (unless the particular Credit Document otherwise provides) are governed by, and are to be construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

Section 16.11 Submission to Jurisdiction

Each Credit Party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defence of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in such action or proceeding by the delivery of such process to such Borrower at its address provided in accordance with Section 16.3.

- 94 -

Section 16.12 Waiver of Trial by Jury

Each Credit Party hereby knowingly voluntarily and intentionally waive any rights they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether oral or written) or actions of the Lender or of the applicable Borrower or any other Credit Parties. Each Credit Party acknowledge and agree that they have received full and sufficient consideration for this provision (and each other provision of each other Credit Document to which it is a party) and that this provision is a material inducement for the Lender entering into this Agreement and each other Credit Document.

Section 16.13 Counterparts

This Agreement and the Credit Documents may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered is an original but all of which taken together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 16.14 Excluded Subsidiaries

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each Excluded Subsidiary is not a Credit Party for purposes of this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents.

Section 16.15 Entire Agreement

Section 16.17 Previous Consent - PSF

The Lender and the Borrowers hereby acknowledge and confirm that, subject to the provisions hereof, the Lender previously consented under Section 15.17 of Original Credit Agreement to VFI and the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, entering into and carrying out (subject to Section 13.2(24) hereof) their obligations under the Delta 3 Lease (as that term is

- 95 -

defined in the Original Credit Agreement). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Lender hereby confirms that (subject to what is stated below regarding FCC) it previously released under the Original Credit Agreement its applicable security interest, if any, in the land owned by VFI located at 4431 80th Street, Delta, British Columbia (the legal description of which is contained on Schedule A to the Delta 3 Lease), the greenhouses owned by the Canadian Borrower which are located on the Delta 3 Location (as that term is defined in the Original Credit Agreement), and the personal property owned by VFI and/or the Canadian Borrower which are located on the Delta 3 Location (except for and excluding for greater certainty that personal property which is used solely in respect of the tomato growing operations conducted by one or more of the Credit Parties at such location). Notwithstanding the consent reiterated herein, all provisions of this Agreement and the Credit Documents continue to remain in full force and effect with respect to the Credit Parties as PSF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Credit Parties.

Section 16.18 Previous Consent.

The Lender and the Borrowers hereby acknowledge and confirm that, subject to the provisions hereof, the Lender previously consented under Section 15.18 of the Original Credit Agreement (from and with effect as of February 27, 2019 in respect of clause (i) below and from and with effect as of May 20, 2019 in respect of clause (ii) below) to the US Borrower entering into and carrying out (subject to Section 13.2(24) hereof) its obligations under (i) the LLC Agreement and the joint venture transaction contemplated therein. Notwithstanding the consent reiterated herein, all provisions of this Agreement and the Credit Documents continue to remain in full force and effect with respect to the Credit Parties as if Hemp JV Co is an Affiliate of the Credit Parties.

Section 16.19 Amendment and Restatement of Original Agreement

This Agreement amends, restates, consolidates and supplements certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and shall not be considered a novation thereof. Any provision hereof which differs from or is inconsistent with a provision of the Existing Credit Agreement constitutes an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement with each such amendment being effective as and from the date hereof. The provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby have been consolidated and restated in this Agreement. This Agreement will not discharge or constitute a novation of any debt, obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or in any collateral, agreements, certificates and other documents executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Credit Parties in respect thereof or in connection therewith, but same shall remain in full force and effect save to the extent same are amended by the provisions of this Agreement. All representations and warranties set out in this Agreement are freshly made on the date hereof except to the extent made as of a specific date referred to herein, but nothing herein shall release or otherwise affect the Credit Parties’ liability in connection with the representations and warranties contained in the Existing Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each Guarantor confirms that its existing Guarantee of the Obligations continues to guarantee, inter alia, all of such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations, including but not limited to that arising under this Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Credit Party confirms that each Security Document to which it is (or any of its predecessors was) a party remains in full force and effect, unamended, and in the case of the Borrowers, continues to secure

- 96 -

the Obligations, and in the case of each Guarantor, continues to secure its Guaranteed Obligations. Where applicable, section references to the Original Credit Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement in the Security Documents and Guarantees granted in connection with the Original Credit Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be amended, as applicable, to refer to the corresponding section references of this Agreement.
