The holders of all such senior indebtedness of the Borrower will be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due on or in respect of all other existing and future senior indebtedness of the Borrower before the Lender is entitled to receive or retain payment of principal hereunder or as permitted by the terms of such senior indebtedness.
2.5 | Optional Prepayment |
The Borrower may, without penalty, prepay the Subordinated Loan outstanding with accrued interest thereon, provided however that no amounts are then outstanding under the senior indebtedness of the Borrower or as permitted by the terms of such senior indebtedness.
Any amount prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.5 may not be re-borrowed under this Agreement and shall constitute a permanent reduction of the Subordinated Loan.
2.6 | Automatic Payment Deferral |
Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Borrower shall have no obligation to make any payment becoming due and payable hereunder until the Borrower is reasonably satisfied that it will concurrently receive a corresponding capital or dividend payment under the Class B Preferred Shares.
2.7 | Interest on Overdue Payments |
In the event that any amount of principal of, or interest on, the Subordinated Loan is not paid by the Borrower in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay, on demand, interest on such unpaid amount, from the date such amount becomes due until the date such amount is paid in full, at the rate determined in Section 2.2 plus 2.0%. If any other amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid in full when due, the Borrower shall pay, on demand, interest on such unpaid amount from the date such amount becomes due until the date such amount is paid in full at an annual interest rate determined in Section 2.2 plus 2.0 %.
2.8 | Manner of Payment |
All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Subordinated Loan shall be made by the Borrower to the Lender, before 11:00 a.m., Montreal time, on the due date thereof in immediately available funds at the registered office of the Lender located at 000 Xxxxx-Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, province of Xxxxxx, X0X 0X0, or at such other place as the Lender may designate in writing. Any payment received after 11:00 a.m., Montreal time, shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. If the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Loan, or any other amount payable by the
- 4 -
Borrower under this Agreement, becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment date or the maturity date thereof shall be the next following Business Day.
2.9 | Application of Payments |
2.9.1 | All payments made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied in each instance in the following order: |
(1) | first, to the amount of interest due and payable on the Subordinated Loan; |
(2) | second, to the amount due and payable as principal of the Subordinated Loan; and |
(3) | third, to any other amount due and payable pursuant to the Loan Documents. |
2.9.2 | Following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing or following the Maturity Date, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all such payments received from or on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that the Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents as the Lender may deem advisable. |

6. | MISCELLANEOUS |
6.1 | Waiver |
No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right or remedy under the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver of any

provision of any Loan Document, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the specific instance and purpose for which given.
6.2 | Severability |
If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; such Loan Document shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of such Loan Document; and the remaining provisions of such Loan Document shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from such Loan Document.

- 9 -
6.6 | Remedies Cumulative |
The rights and remedies under the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Lender would otherwise have.
