(e) | Lender, without restriction, may waive in writing the satisfaction, observance or performance of any of the provisions of this agreement. The obligations of a Guarantor (if any) will not be diminished, discharged or otherwise affected by or as a result of any such waiver, except to the extent that such waiver relates to an obligation of such Guarantor. Any waiver by Lender of the strict performance of any provision hereof will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default, and any partial exercise of any right or remedy by Lender will not be deemed to affect any other right or remedy to which Lender may be entitled. |
(f) | Lender is authorized but not obligated, at any time, to apply any credit balance, whether or not then due, to which Borrower or a Guarantor (if any) is entitled on any account in any currency at any branch or office of Lender in or towards satisfaction of the obligations of Borrower or such Guarantor due to Lender under this agreement or any guarantee granted in support hereof, as applicable.

All interest rates specified are nominal annual rates. The effective annual rate in any case will vary with payment frequency. All interest payable hereunder bears interest as well after as before maturity, default and judgment with interest on overdue interest at the applicable rate payable hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower waives the provisions of the Judgment Interest Act (Alberta). |

Any additional amount due from Borrower under this paragraph will be due as a separate debt and will not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due in connection with this agreement. |
(n) | Lender will have the right to assign, sell or participate its rights and obligations in the Facilities or in any Borrowing thereunder, in whole or in part, to one or more persons, provided that the consent of Borrower will be required if no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. |

If, however, within 30 days of the foregoing request by Borrower or Lender, Borrower and Lender have not reached agreement on such amendment, the method of calculation will not be revised and all amounts to be determined thereunder will be determined without giving effect to the Accounting Change. |
