The Company and the Lender agrees that, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, no interest on the credit advanced by the Lender under this Agreement will be payable in excess of that permitted under the laws of Canada. If the effective rate of interest, calculated in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles, would exceed the criminal rate on the credit advanced, then:

(b) |
any remaining excess that has been paid will be credited towards prepayment of Loan Funds; and |

any overpayment that may -remain after such crediting will be returned forthwith to the Company upon demand; |
and, in the event of dispute, a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Lender shall perform the relevant calculations and determine the reductions, modifications and credits necessary to effect the foregoing and the same will be conclusive and binding on the parties. The Transaction Documents shall automatically be modified to reflect such modifications without the necessity of any further act or deed of the Lender and the Company to give effect to them.
14.10 Further Acts. Each of the parties to this Agreement shall at the request of any other party, and at the expense of the Company, execute and deliver any further documents and do all acts and things as that party may reasonably require in order to carry out the true intent and meaning of this Agreement.

Indemnification. |
8.1 The Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company or the Guarantor and without limiting the obligation of the Company or the Guarantor to do so), rateably according to the aggregate outstanding balance owing under the Notes, from and against any and all Claims and Losses which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the final payment of all of the obligations under the Notes and under the other Security Documents) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agency Agreement or the Security Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Holder shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such Claims or Losses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity from the Holders and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
8.2 The agreements in this Section shall survive the repayment of the Notes and all other obligations under the Security Documents.
|

Agent in its Individual Capacity |
9.1 The Agent and its affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or the Guarantor or their respective affiliates as though the Agent were not an agent hereunder. With respect to any Notes held by and all obligations of the Company and the Guarantor hereunder and under the Security Documents, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any Holder and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Holder” and “Holders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.
|
10. |
Successor Agents |
10.1 The Agent may, at any time, resign upon 45 days’ written notice to the Holders and the Company, and be removed with or without cause by the Required Holders upon 30 days’ written notice to the Agent and the Company. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent acceptable to the Company (and to the extent possible, from among the Holders). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed (and accepted such appointment) within 30 days after the notice of resignation or notice of removal, as appropriate, then the Agent shall select a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Agency Agreement and the Security Documents and the provisions of this Section shall enure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agency Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as a successor Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Holders shall perform all of the duties of such retiring Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Holders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
