respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing,

draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of
Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any
error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from
causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing
shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the
Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to
the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are
caused by the Issuing Bankβs failure to exercise care when determining
whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit
comply with the terms thereof.Β Β The parties hereto expressly
agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the
part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in
each such determination.Β Β In furtherance of the foregoing and
without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with
respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing
Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such
documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make

time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to
the consent of Lenders with LC ExposureΒ Β representing greater
than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.Β Β If the

most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders;
provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section

Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to

available to the Administrative Agent such Lenderβs share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative 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.Β Β In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its
share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, at a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing
banking industry practice on interbank compensation.Β Β If such
Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount
shall constitute such Lenderβs Loan included in such Borrowing. If the
Lender does not do so forthwith, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with
interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the Borrowing in
question. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any
claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make such

thereto.Β Β The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and neither the
Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary
of any of such provisions.
Β
The bank
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall 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 Administrative Agent, the term βLenderβ or βLendersβ shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,

for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account to the Lenders.
Β
The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein.Β Β Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is

opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law; and (c)
except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have
any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any

The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall 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 communicated by the proper
Person.Β Β The Administrative 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 shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon.Β Β In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to
the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms
must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making
of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.Β Β The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Β
Each
Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and hold it harmless (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), rateably according to its Applicable
Percentage (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, which may be incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out
of the Loan Documents or the transactions therein
contemplated.Β Β However, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from
the Administrative Agentβs gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent from

the
balance, if any, to the Borrower or otherwise in accordance with

Β
The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a Lender having a Commitment to
a revolving credit and having an office in Toronto, Ontario, or an Affiliate of
any such Lender with an office in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx.
Β
If
no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent
may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting
the qualifications specified in the paragraph above, provided that if the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any
collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders
under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall
continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above
in the preceding paragraph.
Β
Β
90.
Β
Β
Upon a
successorβs appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the former Administrative Agent, and the former Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in the
preceding paragraph).Β Β The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor.Β Β After the termination of the service of the former
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such former Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by any of them while the former Administrative Agent was
acting as Administrative Agent.
Β
Each
Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their
respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement.Β Β Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it shall 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 Loan Document, any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Β
Each of
the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
any collateral security and the remedies provided under the Loan 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
Administrative Agent upon the decision of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the
Loan Documents).Β Β Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions
contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Lenders hereby
covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder
or thereunder including, without limitation, any declaration of default
hereunder or thereunder but that any such action shall be taken only by the
Administrative Agent with the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly
provided for in the Loan Documents).Β Β Each of the Lenders hereby
further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given,
it shall co-operate fully with the Administrative Agent to the extent requested
by the Administrative Agent.Β Β Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the
Administrative Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the
situation warrant such action, the Administrative Agent may without notice to or
consent of the Lenders take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems
appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders.
Β
Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or
holders of similar titles, if any, specified in this Agreement shall have any
powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or
a Lender hereunder.
