(b)	GAAP subsequently in effect and applied by the Borrower in respect of its financial statements (including the adoption of IFRS) and utilized for purposes of determining such amount,

then written notice of such determination shall be delivered by the Borrower to the Agent, in the case of a determination by the Borrower, or by the Agent to the Borrower, in the case of a determination by the Agent or the Lenders.

(3) If the Borrower adopts a change in an accounting policy in the preparation of its financial statements in order to conform to accounting recommendations, guidelines, or similar pronouncements, or legislative requirements, and such change would require disclosure thereof under Old GAAP, or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect (a) the rights of, or the protections afforded to, the Agent or the Lenders hereunder or (b) the position either of the Borrower or of the Agent or the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower shall so notify the Agent, describing the nature of the change and its effect on the current and immediately prior year's financial statements in accordance with Old GAAP and in detail sufficient for the Agent and the Lenders to make the determination required of them in the following sentence. If either the Borrower, the Agent or the Lenders determine at any time that such change in accounting policy results in an adverse change either (i) in the rights of, or protections afforded to, the Agent or the Lenders intended to be derived, or provided for, hereunder or (ii) in the position either of the Borrower or of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder, written notice of such determination shall be delivered by the Borrower to the Agent, in the case of a determination by the Borrower, or by the Agent to the Borrower, in the case of a determination by the Agent or the Lenders.

(4) Upon the delivery of a written notice pursuant to Section 1.4(2) or Section 1.4(3), the Borrower and the Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall meet to consider the impact of such change in Old GAAP or such change in accounting policy, as the case may be, on the rights of, or protections afforded to, the Agent and the Lenders or on the position of the Borrower or of the Agent and the Lenders and shall in good faith negotiate to execute and deliver an amendment or amendments to this Agreement in order to preserve and protect the intended rights of, or protections afforded to, the Agent and the Lenders on the date hereof or the position of the Borrower or the Agent and the Lenders (as the case may be); provided that, until this Agreement has been amended in accordance with the foregoing, then for all purposes hereof, the applicable changes from Old GAAP or in accounting policy (as the case may be) shall be disregarded hereunder and any amount required to be determined hereunder shall, nevertheless, continue to be determined under Old GAAP and the Borrower's prior accounting policy. For the purposes of this Section 1.4, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent acknowledge that the amendment or amendments to this Agreement are to provide substantially the same rights and protection to the Agent and the Lenders as is intended by this Agreement on the date hereof. If the Borrower and the Agent on behalf of the Lenders do not (for any reason whatsoever) mutually agree (in their respective sole discretions, without any obligation to so agree) on such amendment or amendments to this Agreement within 60 days following the date of delivery of such written notice, the Borrower shall continue to provide financial statements in accordance with Old GAAP and, for all purposes hereof, the applicable changes from Old GAAP or in accounting policy (as the case may be) shall be disregarded hereunder and any amount required to be determined hereunder shall, nevertheless, continue to be determined under Old GAAP and the Borrower's prior accounting policy.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time, as the Outstanding BAs mature and Rollovers and Conversions are made by the Borrower in respect thereof, each of the Lenders shall participate in the Loans effecting such Rollovers and Conversions to the full extent of its revised or new, as applicable, Syndicated Facility Commitment and Rateable Portion therein after giving effect to the provisions of this Agreement.

At or before 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time) three Banking Days prior to the expiration of each Interest Period of each Libor Loan, the Borrower shall, unless it has delivered a Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 2.7 and/or a Repayment Notice pursuant to Section 2.15 (together with a Rollover Notice if a portion only is to be converted or repaid; provided that a portion of a Libor Loan may be continued only if the portion which is to remain outstanding is equal to or exceeds the minimum amount required hereunder for Drawdowns of Libor Loans) with respect to the aggregate amount of such Loan, deliver a Rollover Notice to the Agent selecting the next Interest Period applicable to the Libor Loan, which new Interest Period shall commence on and include the last day of such prior Interest Period. If the Borrower fails to deliver a Rollover Notice to the Agent as provided in this Section, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Conversion Notice to the Agent electing to convert the entire amount of the maturing Libor Loan into a U.S. Base Rate Loan.

2.10	Rollovers and Conversions not Repayments

Any amount converted shall be a Loan of the type converted to upon such Conversion taking place, and any amount rolled over shall continue to be the same type of Loan under the same Credit Facility as before the Rollover, but such Conversion or Rollover (to the extent of the amount converted or rolled over) shall not of itself constitute a repayment or a fresh utilization of any part of the amount available under the relevant Credit Facility.

2.11	Agent's Obligations with Respect to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, U.S. Base Rate Loans and Libor Loans

Upon receipt of a Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice with respect to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, U.S. Base Rate Loan or Libor Loan, the Agent shall forthwith notify the relevant Lenders of the requested type of Loan, the proposed Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, each Lender's Rateable Portion of such Loan and, if applicable, the account of the Agent to which each Lender's Rateable Portion is to be credited.

A Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice, Conversion Notice or Repayment Notice given by the Borrower hereunder shall be irrevocable and, subject to any options the Lenders may have hereunder in regard thereto and the Borrower's rights hereunder in regard thereto, shall oblige the Borrower to take the action contemplated on the date specified therein.

2.14	Optional Cancellation or Reduction of Credit Facilities

The Borrower may, at any time, upon giving at least 3 Banking Days prior written notice to the Agent, cancel in full or, from time to time, permanently reduce in part the unutilized portion of a Credit Facility; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be in a minimum amount of Cdn.$5,000,000 and reductions in excess thereof shall be in integral multiples of Cdn.$1,000,000. If a Credit Facility is so reduced, the Commitments of each of the Lenders under such Credit Facility shall be reduced pro rata in the same proportion that the amount of the reduction in the Credit Facility bears to the amount of such Credit Facility in effect immediately prior to such reduction.

2.15	Optional Repayment of Credit Facilities

The Borrower may at any time and from time to time repay, without penalty, to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or, in the case of Letters of Credit return the same to the Agent for cancellation or provide for the funding of, the whole or any part of any Loan owing by it together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such repayment provided that:

Subject to Section 12.2 and Article 7, the Borrower shall repay or pay, as the case may be, to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, all Loans and other Obligations outstanding under each Credit Facility on or before the Maturity Date applicable thereto.

2.17	Additional Repayment Terms

(1) If any Libor Loan is repaid on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower shall, within three Banking Days after notice is given by the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders all costs, losses, premiums and expenses incurred by the Lenders by reason of the liquidation or re deployment of deposits or other funds, or for any other reason whatsoever, resulting in each case from the repayment of such Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Any Lender, upon becoming entitled to be paid such costs, losses, premiums and expenses, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a certificate of the Lender certifying as to such amounts and, in the absence of manifest error, such certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(2) With respect to the funding of the repayment of unexpired Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.15(e) or otherwise hereunder, it is agreed that the Borrower shall provide for the funding in full of the repayment of unexpired Letters of Credit by paying to and depositing with the Agent cash collateral for each such unexpired Letter of Credit equal to the maximum amount thereof, plus the fees payable pursuant to Sections 7.9(1) and 7.9(2) through to the expiry of such Letter of Credit, in each case, in the respective currency which the relevant Letter of Credit is denominated; such cash collateral deposited by the Borrower shall be held by the Agent in an interest bearing cash collateral account with interest to be credited to the Borrower at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for similar accounts with the Agent. Such cash collateral accounts shall be assigned to the Agent as security for the obligations of the Borrower in relation to such Letters of Credit and the Security Interest of the Agent thereby created in such cash collateral shall rank in priority to all other Security Interests and adverse claims against such cash collateral. Such cash collateral shall be applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower for such Letters of Credit as payments are made thereunder and the Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the Borrower to so apply any such cash collateral. Amounts held in such cash collateral accounts may not be withdrawn by the Borrower without the consent of the Lenders; however, interest on such deposited amounts shall be for the account of the Borrower and may be withdrawn by the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing. If after expiry of the Letters of Credit for which such funds are held and application by the Agent of the amounts in such cash collateral accounts to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to the Letters of Credit being repaid, any excess remains, such excess shall be promptly paid by the Agent to the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing.

(3) With respect to the repayment of unmatured Bankers' Acceptances pursuant to Section 2.15(d) or otherwise hereunder, it is agreed that the Borrower shall provide for the funding in full of the unmatured Bankers' Acceptances to be repaid by paying to and depositing with the Agent cash collateral (the "Cash Collateral") for each such unmatured Bankers' Acceptances equal to the face amount payable at maturity thereof; such Cash Collateral deposited by the Borrower shall be invested by the Agent in Approved Securities as may be directed in writing by the Borrower from time to time (the "Collateral Investments"), provided that the Borrower shall direct said investments so that they mature in amounts sufficient to permit payment of the Obligations for maturing Bankers' Acceptances on the maturity dates thereof, with interest thereon to be credited to the Borrower. In the event that the Agent is not provided with instructions from the Borrower to make Collateral Investments as provided herein, the Agent shall hold such Cash Collateral in an interest bearing cash collateral account (the "Cash Collateral Account") at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for similar accounts with the Agent. The (a) Cash Collateral, (b) Cash Collateral Accounts, (c) Collateral Investments, (d) any accounts receivable, claims, instruments or securities evidencing or relating to the foregoing, and (e) any proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively the "Outstanding BAs Collateral") shall be assigned to the Agent as security for the obligations of the Borrower in relation to such Bankers' Acceptances and the Security Interest of the Agent thereby created in such Outstanding BAs Collateral shall rank in priority to all other Security Interests and adverse claims against such Outstanding BAs Collateral. Such Outstanding BAs Collateral shall be applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower for such Bankers' Acceptances as they mature and the Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the Borrower to apply any such Outstanding BAs Collateral to such maturing Bankers' Acceptances. The Outstanding BAs Collateral created herein shall not be released to the Borrower without the consent of the Lenders; however, interest on such deposited amounts shall be for the account of the Borrower and may be withdrawn by the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing. If, after maturity of the Bankers' Acceptances for which such Outstanding BAs Collateral is held and application by the Agent of the Outstanding BAs Collateral to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to the Bankers' Acceptances being repaid, any interest or other proceeds of the Outstanding BAs Collateral remains, such interest or other proceeds shall be promptly paid and transferred by the Agent to the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing.

2.18	Currency Excess

(1) If the Agent shall determine that the aggregate Outstanding Principal of the outstanding Loans under a given Credit Facility exceeds the maximum amount of such Credit Facility (the amount of such excess is herein called the "Currency Excess"), then, upon written request by the Agent (which request shall detail the applicable Currency Excess), the Borrower shall repay an amount of Canadian Prime Rate Loans or U.S. Base Rate Loans under such Credit Facility within (i) if the Currency Excess exceeds [Percent redacted] of the amount of such Credit Facility, 5 Banking Days, and (ii) in all other cases, 20 Banking Days after receipt of such request, such that, except as otherwise contemplated in Section 2.18(2), the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of such repayments is, in the aggregate, at least equal to the Currency Excess.

(2) If, in respect of any Currency Excess, the repayments made by the Borrower have not completely removed such Currency Excess (the remainder thereof being herein called the "Currency Excess Deficiency"), the Borrower shall within the aforementioned 5 or 20 Banking Days, as the case may be, after receipt of the aforementioned request of the Agent, place an amount equal to the Currency Excess Deficiency on deposit with the Agent in an interest bearing account with interest at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for the account of the Borrower, to be assigned to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders by instrument satisfactory to the Agent and, if applicable, to be applied to maturing Bankers' Acceptances or Libor Loans (converted if necessary at the exchange rate for determining the Equivalent Amount on the date of such application). The Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the Borrower to apply any such sums on deposit to maturing Loans as provided in the preceding sentence. In lieu of providing funds for the Currency Excess Deficiency, as provided in the preceding provisions of this Section, the Borrower may within the said period of 5 or 20 Banking Days, as the case may be, provide to the Agent an irrevocable standby letter of credit in an amount equal to the Currency Excess Deficiency and for a term which expires not sooner than 10 Banking Days after the date of maturity or expiry, as the case may be, of the relevant Bankers' Acceptances, Libor Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be; such letter of credit for the Currency Excess Deficiency shall be issued by a financial institution, and shall be on terms and conditions, acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion. The Agent is hereby authorized and directed to draw upon such letter of credit and apply the proceeds of the same to Bankers' Acceptances or Libor Loans as they mature or to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower for Letters of Credit as payments are made thereunder. Upon the Currency Excess Deficiency being eliminated as aforesaid or by virtue of subsequent changes in the exchange rate for determining the Equivalent Amount, then, provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, such funds on deposit, together with interest thereon shall be returned to the Borrower, in the case of funds on deposit, or such letters of credit shall be cancelled or reduced in amount, in the case of letters of credit.

2.19	Hedging with Lenders and Hedging Affiliates

If a Lender or Hedging Affiliate enters into a Financial Instrument with the Borrower which such Lender or Hedging Affiliate (as the case may be) believes, acting reasonably, in good faith and without any actual notice or knowledge to the contrary, is Permitted Hedging, then each such Lender Financial Instrument and the Lender Financial Instrument Obligations under such Financial Instrument shall be secured by the Security equally and rateably with the Obligations, regardless of whether the Borrower has complied herewith (but, for certainty, without in any manner lessening or relieving the Borrower from its obligation to comply therewith).

2.20	Extension of Syndicated Facility Maturity Date

(1) In this Section:

"Syndicated Facility Extension Request" means a written request by the Borrower to the Requested Lenders to extend the Maturity Date applicable to such Lenders by one or more years (or any portion thereof), which request shall include an Officer's Certificate certifying that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

"Requested Lenders" means those Lenders which are not then Non-Extending Lenders.

(2) The Borrower may, once in each calendar year, by delivering to the Agent an executed Syndicated Facility Extension Request, request the Requested Lenders to extend the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date applicable to such Lenders by one or more years (or any portion thereof); provided that (a) such request may not be made more than 90 days or less than 60 days before the anniversary of the date hereof in any given year and (b) the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date, if extended in accordance herewith and therewith, shall not be later than three years after the anniversary of the date hereof in such calendar year.

(3) Upon receipt from the Borrower of an executed Syndicated Facility Extension Request, the Agent shall forthwith deliver to each Requested Lender a copy of such request, and each Requested Lender shall, within 30 days after the date the Agent receives such request from the Borrower, provide to the Agent and the Borrower either: (a) written notice that such Requested Lender (each, an "Extending Lender") agrees, subject to Section 2.20(4) below, to the requested extension of the current Syndicated Facility Maturity Date applicable to it or (b) written notice (each, a "Notice of Non-Extension") that such Requested Lender (each, a "Non-Extending Lender") does not agree to such requested extension; provided that, if a Requested Lender shall fail to so notify the Agent and the Borrower, then such Requested Lender shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Non-Extension and shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The determination of each Lender whether or not to extend the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date applicable to it shall be made by each individual Lender in its sole discretion.

(4) If the Extending Lenders have not less than 66⅔% of the Syndicated Facility Commitments, the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date shall be extended in accordance with the Syndicated Facility Extension Request for each of the Extending Lenders. If the Extending Lenders do not have at least 66⅔% of the Syndicated Facility Commitments, the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date shall not be extended for any of the Requested Lenders. For certainty, the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date for a Non-Extending Lender shall not be extended, regardless of whether the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date is extended for the Extending Lenders as aforesaid.

(5) If the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date has been extended in accordance with the most recent Syndicated Facility Extension Request delivered pursuant to Section 2.20(2):

(a)

the Borrower may require any Non-Extending Lender to assign (for certainty, without releasing such Lender from its obligations under Section 7.8 to the Fronting Lender unless specifically agreed by the Fronting Lender in accordance herewith) its Syndicated Facility Commitment, its Rateable Portion of all Loans and other Obligations outstanding under the Syndicated Facility and all of its rights, benefits and interests under the Documents relating thereto (collectively, the "Assigned Interests") to (i) any Extending Lenders which have agreed to increase their Syndicated Facility Commitments and purchase Assigned Interests, and (ii) to the extent the Assigned Interests are not transferred to Extending Lenders, financial institutions selected by the Borrower and acceptable to the Agent and Fronting Lender, each acting reasonably. Such assignments shall be effective upon execution of assignment documentation satisfactory to the relevant Non-Extending Lender, the assignee, the Borrower, Fronting Lender and the Agent (each acting reasonably), upon payment to the relevant Non-Extending Lender (in immediately available funds) by the relevant assignee of an amount equal to its Rateable Portion of all Obligations being assigned and all accrued but unpaid interest and fees hereunder in respect of those portions of the Loans and Commitments being assigned, upon payment by the relevant assignee to the Agent (for the Agent's own account) of the recording fee contemplated in Section 16.6, and upon provision satisfactory to the Non-Extending Lender (acting reasonably) being made for (i) payment at maturity of outstanding Bankers' Acceptances accepted by it, (ii) indemnity in respect of its share of outstanding Letters of Credit or release by the Fronting Lender of its obligations in respect thereof and (iii) any costs, losses, premiums or expenses incurred by such Non-Extending Lender by reason of the liquidation or re deployment of deposits or other funds in respect of Libor Loans outstanding hereunder. Upon such assignment and transfer, the Non-Extending Lender shall have no further right, interest, benefit or obligation in respect of the Syndicated Facility (except as provided in Section 7.8) and the assignee thereof shall succeed to the position of such Lender as if the same was an original party hereto in the place and stead of such Non-Extending Lender and shall be deemed to be an Extending Lender; for such purpose, to the extent that the assignee is not already a party hereto, the assignee shall execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement and such other documentation as may be reasonably required by the Agent and the Borrower to confirm its agreement to be bound by the provisions hereof and to give effect to the foregoing; and

(b)

to the extent that any Non-Extending Lender has not assigned its rights and interests to an Extending Lender or other financial institution as provided in subparagraph (a) above, the Borrower may, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, repay the Non-Extending Lender's Rateable Portion of all Loans outstanding under the Syndicated Facility, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon with respect to its Syndicated Facility Commitments, without making corresponding repayment to the Extending Lenders upon which the Borrower may cancel such Non-Extending Lender's Syndicated Facility Commitment. Upon completion of the foregoing, such Non-Extending Lender shall have no further right, interest, benefit or obligation in respect of the Syndicated Facility (except as provided in Section 7.8) and the Syndicated Facility shall be reduced by the amount of such Xxxxxx's cancelled Syndicated Facility Commitment.

(6) This Section shall apply from time to time to facilitate successive extensions and requests for extension of the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date. If, as of the current Syndicated Facility Maturity Date (before the extension thereof in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.20), a Default or Event of Default exists, the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date shall not be extended, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, for an Extending Lender unless (a) such Extending Lender has waived such Default or Event of Default in writing and (b) Extending Lenders having not less than 66⅔% of the Syndicated Facility Commitments have waived such Default or Event of Default in writing.

(7) A Non-Extending Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, become an Extending Lender with respect to any prior extension of the Syndicated Facility Maturity Date by providing written notice to the Agent revoking the Notice of Non-Extension provided by such Lender; such revocation shall be effective from and after receipt by the Agent of such notice from the Lender together with a copy of the Borrower's consent in relation thereto.

2.21	Extension of Operating Facility Maturity Date

(1) In this Section, "Operating Facility Extension Request" means a written request by the Borrower to the Operating Lender to extend the Operating Facility Maturity Date by one or more years (or any portion thereof), which request shall include an Officer's Certificate that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(2) The Borrower may, once in each calendar year, by delivering to the Agent and the Operating Lender an executed Operating Facility Extension Request, request the Operating Lender to extend the Operating Facility Maturity Date by one or more years (or any portion thereof); provided that (a) such request may not be made more than 90 days or less than 60 days before the anniversary of the date hereof in any given year and (b) the Operating Facility Maturity Date, if extended in accordance herewith and therewith, shall not be later than three years after the anniversary of the date hereof in such calendar year.

(3) Upon receipt from the Borrower of an executed Operating Facility Extension Request, the Operating Lender shall, within 30 days after the date the Agent receives such request from the Borrower, provide to the Agent and the Borrower either: (a) written notice that the Operating Lender agrees, subject to Section 2.21(4) below, to the requested extension of the current Operating Facility Maturity Date or (b) written notice that the Operating Lender does not agree to such requested extension; provided that, if the Operating Lender shall fail to so notify the Agent and the Borrower, then the Operating Lender shall be deemed to have delivered a notice that the Operating Lender does not agree to such requested extension. The determination of the Operating Lender whether or not to extend the Operating Facility Maturity Date shall be made by the Operating Lender in its sole discretion.

(4) This Section shall apply from time to time to facilitate successive extensions and requests for extension of the Operating Facility Maturity Date. If, as of the current Operating Facility Maturity Date (before the extension thereof in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.21), a Default or Event of Default exists, the Operating Facility Maturity Date shall not be extended, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, unless the Operating Lender has waived such Default or Event of Default in writing.

2.22	Replacement of Lenders

(1) In addition to and not in limitation of or derogation from the other provisions hereof, the Borrower shall have the right, at its option, to (a) replace (by causing a Lender to assign its rights and interests under the applicable Credit Facility to additional financial institutions or to existing Lenders which have agreed to increase their Commitments) or (b) provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, repay the Obligations outstanding and cancel the Commitments of (without corresponding repayment to or cancellation of the Commitments of other Lenders) or (c) do any combination thereof with respect to: (i) those Lenders which have not agreed to a consent under, waiver of or proposed amendment to the provisions of the Documents (each, a "Dissenting Lender") requested by the Borrower, (ii) those Declining Lenders which have notified the Borrower that they have a conflict of interest in respect of a Takeover pursuant to Section 2.23, (iii) those Lenders which have notified the Borrower and the Agent of an entitlement to receive Additional Compensation under Section 13.3, (iv) those Lenders which, pursuant to Section 13.5, have declared their obligations under this Agreement in respect of any Loan to be terminated, and (v) any Defaulting Lender, and, for such purposes, the provisions of Section 2.20(5) shall apply thereto, mutatis mutandis; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a)	in the case of the replacement or repayment of a Dissenting Lender, the Borrower shall not be entitled to replace or repay a Dissenting Lender unless, after doing so, the requested consent, waiver or amendment would be approved in accordance with the Documents;

(b)

the Borrower shall not be entitled to repay a Dissenting Lender (as opposed to replacing the same) and reduce the amount of either Credit Facility if, after doing so, the Credit Facilities would be reduced by more than 25% in the aggregate or such greater percentage as may be agreed to by the Lenders other than the Dissenting Lenders (acting reasonably);

(c)	the Borrower shall not be entitled to replace or repay a Dissenting Lender unless it is concurrently repaying or replacing all other Dissenting Lenders; and

(d)	the addition of new financial institutions as Lenders or the increasing of Commitments by existing Lenders shall require the consent of the Agent and the Fronting Lender, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld.

2.23	Hostile Acquisitions

(1) In the event the Borrower wishes to utilize proceeds of one or more Loans under any Credit Facility to, or to provide funds to any Subsidiary, Affiliate or other person to, finance an offer to acquire (which shall include an offer to purchase securities, solicitation of an offer to sell securities, an acceptance of an offer to sell securities, whether or not the offer to sell was solicited, or any combination of the foregoing) outstanding securities of any person (the "Target") which constitutes a "take over bid" pursuant to applicable corporate or securities legislation (in any case, a "Takeover"), then either:

(a)

prior to or concurrently with delivery to the Agent of any Drawdown Notice pursuant to Section 2.7 requesting one or more Loans under the Credit Facilities, the proceeds of which are to be used to finance such Takeover, the Borrower shall provide to the Agent evidence satisfactory to the Agent (acting reasonably) that the board of directors or like body of the Target, or the holders of all of the securities of the Target, has or have approved, accepted, or recommended to security holders acceptance of, the Takeover; or

(b)	the following steps shall be followed:

(i)

at least five (5) Banking Days prior to the delivery to the Agent of any Drawdown Notice pursuant to Section 2.7 requesting one or more Loans intended to be used to finance such Takeover, the Borrower shall advise the Agent, who shall promptly advise an appropriate officer of each Lender of the particulars of such Takeover;

(ii)

within three (3) Banking Days of being so advised, each Lender shall notify the Agent of such Xxxxxx's determination as to whether it is willing to finance such Takeover; provided that, in the event such Lender does not so notify the Agent within such three (3) Banking Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have notified the Agent that it is not willing to finance such Takeover; and

(iii)

the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each such Xxxxxx's determination,

and in the event that any Lender has notified or is deemed to have notified the Agent that it is not willing to finance such Takeover (each, a "Declining Lender"), then the Declining Lenders shall have no obligation to provide Loans to finance such Takeover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary; provided, however, that each other Lender (each, a "Financing Lender") which has advised the Agent it is willing to finance such Takeover shall have an obligation, up to the amount of its Commitment under the relevant Credit Facility, to provide Loans to finance such Takeover, and the Loans to finance such Takeover shall be provided by each Financing Lender in accordance with the ratio, determined prior to the provision of any Loans to finance such Takeover, that the Commitment of such Financing Lender under the Credit Facility in question bears to the aggregate the Commitments of all the Financing Lenders under the Credit Facility in question.

(2) If Loans are used to finance a Takeover and there are Declining Lenders, subsequent Loans under a Credit Facility shall be funded firstly by Declining Lenders having Commitments under such Credit Facility, and subsequent repayments under such Credit Facility shall be applied firstly to Financing Lenders, in each case, until such time as the proportion that the amount of each Lender's Outstanding Principal under such Credit Facility bears to the total Outstanding Principal under such Credit Facility is equal to such proportion which would have been in effect but for the application of this Section 2.23.

2.24	Increase in Syndicated Facility

The Borrower may at any time and from time to time add additional financial institutions hereunder as Lenders or, with the consent of the applicable Lender, increase the Syndicated Facility Commitment of a Lender and, in each case, thereby increase the maximum principal amount of the Syndicated Facility, provided that, at the time of any such addition or increase:

(b)	the Borrower shall have delivered, and will cause each Material Subsidiary to deliver, as applicable, to the Agent:

(v)	the Agent and each Fronting Lender have each consented to such financial institution becoming a Lender or, in the case of an existing Lender, increasing its Syndicated Facility Commitment, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld; and

(vi)

concurrently with the addition of a financial institution as an additional Lender or the increase of a Lender's Syndicated Facility Commitment, such financial institution or Lender, as the case may be, shall purchase from each Lender, such portion of the Outstanding Principal owed to each Lender as may be required by the Agent, acting reasonably, and as is necessary to ensure that the Outstanding Principal owed to all Lenders and including therein such additional financial institution and the increased Syndicated Facility Commitment of any Lender, are in accordance with the Lender's Rateable Portions of all such Lenders (including the new financial institution and the increased Syndicated Facility Commitment of any Lender) and such financial institution shall execute such documentation as is required by the Agent, acting reasonably, to novate such financial institution as a Lender hereunder; provided that with respect to any portion of such Outstanding Principal which is outstanding by way of Bankers' Acceptance, the new financial institution or such Lender shall provide an indemnity to the other Lenders in order to ensure such Bankers' Acceptances are outstanding in accordance with the new Rateable Portions.

ARTICLE 5 - PAYMENTS OF INTEREST AND FEES

5.1	Interest on Canadian Prime Rate Loans

The Borrower shall pay interest on each Canadian Prime Rate Loan owing by it during each Interest Period applicable thereto in Canadian Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Applicable Pricing Rate. Each determination by the Agent of the Canadian Prime Rate applicable from time to time during an Interest Period shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence thereof. Such interest shall accrue daily and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan for the period from and including the Drawdown Date or the preceding Conversion Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, for such Loan to and including the day preceding such Interest Payment Date and shall be calculated on the principal amount of the Canadian Prime Rate Loan outstanding during such period and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days. Changes in the Canadian Prime Rate shall cause an immediate adjustment of the interest rate applicable to such Loans without the necessity of any notice to the Borrower.

5.2	Interest on U.S. Base Rate Loans

The Borrower shall pay interest on each U.S. Base Rate Loan owing by it during each Interest Period applicable thereto in United States Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the U.S. Base Rate in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Applicable Pricing Rate.

(1) Whenever a rate of interest or other rate per annum hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the "deemed year") which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

(2) Whenever a rate of interest or other rate per annum hereunder is expressed or calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days, such rate of interest or other rate shall be expressed as a rate per annum, calculated on the basis of a 365 day year, by multiplying such rate of interest or other rate by 365 and dividing it by 360.

5.5	Nominal Rates; No Deemed Reinvestment

The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for deemed reinvestment or otherwise, before and after maturity, default and judgment.

Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.

5.6	Standby Fees

(1) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders a standby fee in Canadian Dollars in respect of each Credit Facility calculated at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Pricing Rate on the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Outstanding Principal under the Credit Facility in question for each day in the period of determination is less than the maximum amount for each such day of such Credit Facility. Fees determined in accordance with this Section shall accrue daily from and after the date hereof and be payable by the Borrower quarterly in arrears and on cancellation in full of a Credit Facility and on the Maturity Date applicable to such Credit Facility.

5.9

Waiver

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the covenant of the Borrower to pay interest at the rates provided herein shall not merge in any judgment relating to any obligation of the Borrower to the Lenders or the Agent and any provision of the Interest Act (Canada) or Judgment Interest Act (Alberta) which restricts any rate of interest set forth herein shall be inapplicable to this Agreement and is hereby waived by the Borrower.

(c)

each draft drawn by the Borrower and presented for acceptance by a Lender shall be drawn on the standard form of such Lender in effect at the time; provided, however, that the Agent may require the Lenders to use a generic form of Bankers' Acceptance, in a form satisfactory to each Lender, acting reasonably, provided by the Agent for such purpose in place of the Lenders' own forms;

(e)

in lieu of signing Xxxxxxx' Acceptances in accordance with Section 6.3(d) above, the Borrower hereby provides a Power of Attorney to each Lender as set out in Section 6.4; for so long as a Power of Attorney is in force with respect to a given Lender, such Lender shall execute and deliver Bankers' Acceptances on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the provisions thereof and, for certainty, all references herein to drafts drawn by the Borrower, Xxxxxxx' Acceptances executed by the Borrower or similar expressions shall be deemed to include Bankers' Acceptances executed in accordance with a Power of Attorney, unless the context otherwise requires.

6.4	Power of Attorney; Provision of Bankers' Acceptances to Lenders

(1) Unless revoked with respect to a given Lender in accordance herewith, the Borrower hereby appoints each Lender, acting by any authorized signatory of the Lender in question, the attorney of the Borrower:

provided that such acts in each case are to be undertaken by the Lender in question strictly in accordance with instructions given to such Lender by the Borrower as provided in this Section. For certainty, signatures of any authorized signatory of a Lender may be mechanically reproduced in facsimile on Bankers' Acceptances in accordance herewith and such facsimile signatures shall be binding and effective as if they had been manually executed by such authorized signatory of such Lender.

Instructions from the Borrower to a Lender relating to the execution, completion, endorsement, deposit and/or delivery by that Lender on behalf of the Borrower of Bankers' Acceptances which the Borrower wishes to submit to the Lender for acceptance by the Lender shall be communicated by the Borrower in writing to the Agent by delivery to the Agent of Drawdown Notices, Conversion Notices and Rollover Notices, as the case may be, in accordance with this Agreement which, in turn, shall be communicated by the Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, to the Lender.

The communication in writing by the Borrower, or on behalf of the Borrower by the Agent, to the Lender of the instructions set out in the Drawdown Notices, Conversion Notices and Rollover Notices referred to above shall constitute (a) the authorization and instruction of the Borrower to the Lender to sign for and on behalf and in the name of the Borrower as drawer the requested Bankers' Acceptances and to complete and/or endorse Bankers' Acceptances in accordance with such information as set out above and (b) the request of the Borrower to the Lender to accept such Bankers' Acceptances and deposit the same with the clearing house or deliver the same, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and such instructions. The Borrower acknowledges that a Lender shall not be obligated to accept any such Bankers' Acceptances except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

A Lender shall be and it is hereby authorized to act on behalf of the Borrower upon and in compliance with instructions communicated to that Lender as provided herein if the Lender reasonably believes such instructions to be genuine. If a Lender accepts Bankers' Acceptances pursuant to any such instructions, that Lender shall confirm particulars of such instructions and advise the Agent that it has complied therewith by notice in writing addressed to the Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof. A Xxxxxx's actions in compliance with such instructions, confirmed and advised to the Agent by such notice, shall be conclusively deemed to have been in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower.

This power of attorney may be revoked by the Borrower with respect to any particular Lender at any time upon not less than 5 Banking Days' prior written notice served upon the Lender in question and the Agent, provided that no such revocation shall reduce, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any Bankers' Acceptance executed, completed, endorsed, deposited and/or delivered in accordance herewith prior to the time at which such revocation becomes effective.

(2) Unless the Borrower has provided Powers of Attorney to the Lenders, to facilitate Drawdowns, Rollovers or Conversions of Bankers' Acceptances, the Borrower shall, upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter from time to time as required by the Lenders, provide to the Agent for delivery to each Lender drafts drawn in blank by the Borrower (pre endorsed and otherwise in fully negotiable form, if applicable) in quantities sufficient for each Lender to fulfil its obligations hereunder. Any such pre signed drafts which are delivered by the Borrower to the Agent or a Lender shall be held in safekeeping by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, with the same degree of care as if they were the Agent's or such Xxxxxx's property, and shall only be dealt with by the Lenders and the Agent in accordance herewith. No Lender shall be responsible or liable for its failure to make its share of any Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion of Bankers' Acceptances required hereunder if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to the failure of the Borrower to provide such pre signed drafts to the Agent (for delivery to such Lender) on a timely basis.

(3) By 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on the applicable Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date, the Borrower shall (a) either deliver to each Lender in Toronto, or, if previously delivered, be deemed to have authorized each Lender to complete and accept, or (b) where the Borrower has previously executed and delivered a Power of Attorney to the Lender, be deemed to have authorized each such Lender to sign on behalf of the Borrower, complete and accept, drafts drawn by the Borrower on such Lender in a principal amount at maturity equal to such Xxxxxx's share of the Bankers' Acceptances specified by the Borrower in the relevant Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as the case may be, as notified to the Lenders by the Agent.

6.5	Mechanics of Issuance

(1) Upon receipt by the Agent of a Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice from the Borrower requesting the issuance of Bankers' Acceptances, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof and advise each Lender of the aggregate face amount of Bankers' Acceptances to be accepted by such Lender, the date of issue, the Interest Period for such Loan and, whether such Bankers' Acceptances are to be self marketed by the Borrower or purchased by such Lender for its own account; the apportionment among the Lenders of the face amounts of Bankers' Acceptances to be accepted by each Lender shall be determined by the Agent by reference and in proportion to the respective Commitments of each Lender, provided that, when such apportionment cannot be evenly made, the Agent shall round allocations amongst such Lenders consistent with the Agent's normal money market practices.

(2) Unless the Borrower has elected pursuant to Section 6.5(3) to have each Lender purchase for its own account the Bankers' Acceptances to be accepted by it in respect of any Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion, on each Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date involving the issuance of Bankers' Acceptances:

(a)	the Borrower shall obtain quotations from prospective purchasers regarding the sale of the Bankers' Acceptances and shall accept such offers in its sole discretion;

(b)

by no later than 9:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on such date, the Borrower shall provide the Agent with details regarding the sale of the Bankers' Acceptances described in (a) above whereupon the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the identity of the purchasers of such Bankers' Acceptances, the amounts being purchased by such purchasers, the Discount Proceeds and the acceptance fees applicable to such issue of Bankers' Acceptances (including each Lender's share thereof);

(c)	each Lender shall complete and accept in accordance with the Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice delivered by the Borrower and advised by the Agent in connection with such issue, its share of the Bankers' Acceptances to be issued on such date; and

(d)

in the case of a Drawdown, each Lender shall, on receipt of the Discount Proceeds, remit the Discount Proceeds (net of the acceptance fee payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 6.2) to the Agent for the account of the Borrower; the Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower for same day value on such date.

(3) The Borrower may, with respect to the issuance of Bankers' Acceptances hereunder from time to time, elect in the Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as the case may be, delivered in respect of such issuance to have the Lenders purchase such Bankers' Acceptances for their own account. On each such Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date involving the issuance of Bankers' Acceptances being so purchased by the Lenders:

(a)

before 9:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on such date, the Agent shall determine the CDOR Rate and shall obtain quotations from each Schedule II Lender or Schedule III Lender of the Discount Rate then applicable to bankers' acceptances accepted by such Schedule II Lender or Schedule III Lender in respect of an issue of bankers' acceptances in a comparable amount and with comparable maturity to the Bankers' Acceptances proposed to be issued on such date;

(b)	on or about 9:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on such date, the Agent shall determine the BA Discount Rate applicable to each Lender and shall advise each Lender of the BA Discount Rate applicable to it;

(c)

each Lender shall complete and accept, in accordance with the Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice delivered by the Borrower and advised by the Agent in connection with such issue, its share of the Bankers' Acceptances to be issued on such date and shall purchase such Bankers' Acceptances for its own account at a purchase price which reflects the BA Discount Rate applicable to such issue; and

(d)

in the case of a Drawdown, each Lender shall, for same day value on the Drawdown Date, remit the Discount Proceeds or advance the BA Equivalent Advance, as the case may be, payable by such Lender (net of the acceptance fee payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 6.2) to the Agent for the account of the Borrower; the Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower for same day value on such date.

(4) Each Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Bankers' Acceptances accepted and purchased by it for its own account.

6.6	Rollover, Conversion or Payment on Maturity

In anticipation of the maturity of Bankers' Acceptances, the Borrower shall, subject to and in accordance with the requirements hereof, do one or a combination of the following with respect to the aggregate face amount at maturity of all such Bankers' Acceptances:

(a)

(i) deliver to the Agent a Rollover Notice that the Borrower intends to draw and present for acceptance on the maturity date new Bankers' Acceptances (issued under the same Credit Facility as the maturing Bankers' Acceptances) in an aggregate face amount up to the aggregate amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances and (ii) on the maturity date pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an additional amount equal to the difference between the aggregate face amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances and the Discount Proceeds of such new Bankers' Acceptances;

(b)

(i) deliver to the Agent a Conversion Notice requesting a Conversion of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances to another type of Loan under the same Credit Facility as the maturing Bankers' Acceptances and (ii) on the maturity date pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the aggregate face amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances and the amount of the Loans into which Conversion is requested; or

(c)	on the maturity date of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances, pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such Bankers' Acceptances.

If the Borrower fails to so notify the Agent or make such payments on maturity, the Agent shall effect a Conversion into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan under the same Credit Facility as the maturing Bankers' Acceptances of the entire amount of such maturing Bankers' Acceptances as if a Conversion Notice had been given by the Borrower to the Agent to that effect.

6.7	Restriction on Rollovers and Conversions

Subject to the other provisions hereof, Conversions and Rollovers of Bankers' Acceptances may only occur on the maturity date thereof.

6.8

Rollovers

In order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Borrower to a Lender for the face amount of maturing Bankers' Acceptances accepted by such Lender, the Lender shall receive and retain for its own account the Discount Proceeds of new Bankers' Acceptances issued on a Rollover, and the Borrower shall on the maturity date of the Bankers' Acceptances being rolled over pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between the face amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances and the Discount Proceeds from the new Bankers' Acceptances, together with the acceptance fees to which the Lenders are entitled pursuant to Section 6.2.

6.9	Conversion into Bankers' Acceptances

In respect of Conversions into Bankers' Acceptances, in order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Borrower to the Lenders for the amount of the converted Loan, each Lender shall receive and retain for its own account the Discount Proceeds of the Bankers' Acceptances issued upon such Conversion, and the Borrower shall on the Conversion Date pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between the principal amount of the converted Loan and the aggregate Discount Proceeds from the Bankers' Acceptances issued on such Conversion, together with the acceptance fees to which the Lenders are entitled pursuant to Section 6.2.

6.10	Conversion from Bankers' Acceptances

In order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Borrower to the Lenders for an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances converted to another type of Loan, the Agent shall record the obligation of the Borrower to the Lenders as a Loan of the type into which such continuing liability has been converted.

6.11	BA Equivalent Advances

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article , a Non Acceptance Lender shall, in lieu of accepting Bankers' Acceptances, make a BA Equivalent Advance. The amount of each BA Equivalent Advance shall be equal to the Discount Proceeds which would be realized from a hypothetical sale of those Bankers' Acceptances which, but for this Section, such Lender would otherwise be required to accept as part of such a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of Bankers' Acceptances. To determine the amount of such Discount Proceeds, the hypothetical sale shall be deemed to take place at the BA Discount Rate for such Loan. Any BA Equivalent Advance shall be made on the relevant Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date as the case may be and shall remain outstanding for the term of the relevant Bankers' Acceptances. Concurrent with the making of a BA Equivalent Advance, a Non Acceptance Lender shall be entitled to deduct therefrom an amount equal to the acceptance fee which, but for this Section, such Lender would otherwise be entitled to receive as part of such Loan. Subject to Section 6.6, upon the maturity date for such Bankers' Acceptances, the Borrower shall pay to each Non Acceptance Lender an amount equal to the face amount at maturity of the Bankers' Acceptances which, but for this Section, such Lender would otherwise be required to accept as part of such a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of Bankers' Acceptances as repayment of the amount of its BA Equivalent Advance plus payment of the interest accrued and payable thereon to such maturity date.

All references herein to "Loans" and "Bankers' Acceptances" shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include BA Equivalent Advances made by a Non Acceptance Lender as part of a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of Bankers' Acceptances.

6.12	Termination of Bankers' Acceptances

If at any time a Lender ceases to accept bankers' acceptances in the ordinary course of its business, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non Acceptance Lender and shall make BA Equivalent Advances in lieu of accepting Bankers' Acceptances under this Agreement.

6.13	Borrower Acknowledgements

In the event that the Borrower is marketing its own Bankers' Acceptances in accordance with Section 6.5(2), the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall make its own arrangements for the marketing and sale of the Bankers' Acceptances to be issued hereunder and that the Lender shall have no obligation nor be responsible in that regard. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that the availability of purchasers for Bankers' Acceptances requested to be issued hereunder, as well as all risks relating to the purchasers thereof, are its own risk.

ARTICLE 7 - LETTERS OF CREDIT

7.1	Availability

Subject to the provisions hereof, the Borrower may require that Letters of Credit be issued under a Credit Facility in accordance with the Drawdown Notices and Rollover Notices of the Borrower; provided that the aggregate Outstanding Principal represented by all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Syndicated Facility shall not exceed [Amount redacted]. The issuance of Letters of Credit shall constitute Drawdowns or Rollovers (as applicable) hereunder and shall reduce the availability of the applicable Credit Facility by the aggregate Outstanding Principal of Letters of Credit under such Credit Facility.

7.2	Currency, Type, Form and Expiry

Letters of Credit issued pursuant hereto shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars and amounts payable thereunder shall be paid in the currency in which the Letter of Credit is denominated. A Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall, at the option of the Borrower (as specified in the relevant Drawdown Notice or Rollover Notice), be issued (a) by the Operating Lender under the Operating Facility or (b) under the Syndicated Facility, (i) by the Fronting Lender as a Fronted LC or (ii) by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders (each as to their Rateable Portion thereof) as a POA LC. Letters of Credit shall be in a form satisfactory to the Operating Lender, Fronting Lender or Agent (as applicable), acting reasonably, and shall have an expiration date not in excess of one year from the date of issue and, in any event, with respect to Letters of Credit under the Syndicated Facility, not later than the then current Syndicated Facility Maturity Date. On the Operating Facility Maturity Date, the Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided to the Agent cash collateral or letters of credit (or any combination thereof) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17(2) in an amount equal to or greater than the aggregate undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit outstanding under the Operating Facility; such cash collateral and letters of credit shall be held by the Agent and be applied in accordance with said Section 2.17(2) in satisfaction of and security for the Obligations of the Borrower for such unexpired Letters of Credit.

7.3	No Conversion

Except as provided in Section 7.7, the Borrower may not effect a Conversion of a Letter of Credit.

7.4	POA LC Provisions

(1) Each POA LC shall be issued by all Lenders as a single multi-Lender letter of credit, but the obligation of each Lender thereunder shall be several, and not joint, based upon its Rateable Portion in effect on the date of issuance of such POA LC. Each POA LC shall include the provisions contained in and shall be substantially in the form of Schedule L annexed hereto; provided that, without the prior written consent of each Lender, no POA LC shall be issued which varies the several and not joint nature of the liability of each Lender thereunder.

(2) Each POA LC shall be executed and delivered by the Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, each Lender party to such Letter of Credit. The Agent shall act under each POA LC as the agent of each Lender to:

(a)	receive Drafts and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such POA LC;

(b)	determine whether such Drafts and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such POA LC; and

(c)

notify such Lender and the Borrower that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related payment under such POA LC is to be made; provided that the Agent (in such capacity) shall have no obligation or liability for any payment to be made under any POA LC, and each POA LC shall expressly so provide.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Agent as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer of the Agent, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Xxxxxx each POA LC to be issued by such Lender hereunder. Promptly upon the request of the Agent, each Lender will furnish to the Agent such powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any POA LC may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Xxxxxx to execute and deliver such POA LC. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that each POA LC shall provide that all Drafts and other documents presented thereunder shall be delivered to the Agent and that all payments thereunder shall be made by the Lenders obligated thereon through the Agent at the branch of the Agent specified therein. Each Lender shall be severally liable under each POA LC in proportion to its Rateable Portion on the date of issuance of such POA LC and each POA LC shall specify each Lender's share of the amount payable thereunder.

(3) The Borrower and each Lender hereby authorize the Agent to review on behalf of each Lender each Draft and other document presented under each POA LC. The determination of the Agent as to the conformity of any documents presented under a POA LC to the requirements of such POA LC shall, in the absence of the Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender. The Agent shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any POA LC. The Agent shall promptly after such examination:

(a)	notify each of the Lenders obligated under such POA LC and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment and of each Lender's share of such payment;

(b)	deliver to each such Lender a copy of each document purporting to represent a demand for payment under such POA LC; and

(c)	notify each Lender and the Borrower whether said demand for payment was properly made under such POA LC.

With respect to any drawing determined by the Agent to have been properly made under a POA LC, each Lender will make a payment under such POA LC in accordance with its liability under such POA LC and this Agreement, such payment to be made to the relevant Agent's Account or such other account of the Agent as shall have been most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Agent will make any such payment available to the beneficiary of such POA LC by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account identified by such beneficiary in connection with such demand for payment. Promptly following any payment by any Lender in respect of any POA LC, the Agent will notify the Borrower of such payment; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Lenders with respect to any such payment. The responsibility of the Agent and the Lenders in connection with any Draft presented for payment under any POA LC shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such POA LC, be limited to determining that the documents (including each Draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such POA LC. The Agent shall not be required to make any payment under a POA LC in excess of the amount received by it from the Lenders for such payment.

7.5	Fronted LC Provisions

(1) The Fronting Lender will exercise and give the same care and attention to each Fronted LC issued by it hereunder as it gives to its other letters of credit and similar obligations, and the Fronting Lender's sole liability to each Lender shall be to promptly return to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, each Xxxxxx's Rateable Portion of any payments made to the Fronting Lender by the Borrower hereunder (other than the fees and amounts payable to the Fronting Lender for its own account) if the Borrower has made a payment to the Fronting Lender hereunder. Each Lender agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Fronted LC, the Fronting Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than as expressly required by such Fronted LC) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any person delivering any such document. Neither the Fronting Lender nor any of its representatives, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for:

(a)	any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders;

(b)	any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Fronted LC in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or

(c)	the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, or enforceability of any Fronted LC, or any other document contemplated thereby.

The Fronting Lender shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper person or persons.

(2) The Borrower and each Lender hereby authorize the Fronting Lender to review on behalf of each Lender each draft and other document presented under each Fronted LC. The determination of the Fronting Lender as to the conformity of any documents presented under a Fronted LC to the requirements of such Fronted LC shall, in the absence of such Fronting Lender's gross negligence or wilful misconduct, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender. The Fronting Lender shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Fronted LC. The Fronting Lender shall promptly after such examination:

(a)	notify the Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment;

(b)	deliver to the Agent a copy of each document purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Fronted LC; and

(c)	notify the Agent and the Borrower whether said demand for payment was properly made under such Fronted LC.

7.6

Records

The Agent and, if applicable, the Fronting Lender in the case of a Fronted LC, shall maintain records showing the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder and each Xxxxxx's share of such amount and showing for each Letter of Credit issued hereunder:

(a)	the dates of issuance and expiration thereof;

(b)	the amount thereof; and

(c)	the date and amount of all payments made thereunder.

The Agent and, if applicable, the Fronting Lender, shall make copies of such records available to the Borrower or any Lender upon its request.

7.7	Reimbursement or Conversion on Presentation;

On presentation of a Letter of Credit and payment thereunder by the Operating Lender, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued under the Operating Facility, by the Lenders, in the case of a POA LC, or by the Fronting Lender, in the case of a Fronted LC, the Borrower shall forthwith pay to and reimburse the Agent for the account of the Operating Lender, the Lenders or the Fronting Lender (as applicable) for all amounts paid pursuant to such Letter of Credit; failing such payment, the Borrower shall be deemed to have effected a Conversion of such Letter of Credit into: (a) a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, and (b) a U.S. Base Rate Loan, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in United States Dollars, in each case, under the same Credit Facility as such Letter of Credit was issued and to the extent of the payment by the Operating Lender, the Lenders or the Fronting Lender (as applicable) thereunder.

7.8	Fronting Lender Indemnity

(1) If the Fronting Lender makes payment under any Fronted LC and the Borrower does not fully reimburse the Fronting Lender on or before the date of payment, then Section 7.7 shall apply to deem a Loan to be outstanding to the Borrower under this Agreement in the manner herein set out. Each Lender shall, on request by the Fronting Lender, immediately pay to the Fronting Lender an amount equal to such Lender's Rateable Portion of the amount paid by the Fronting Lender such that each Lender is participating in the deemed Loan in accordance with its Rateable Portion and, for certainty, regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default is then outstanding or whether any other condition to the making of a Loan has been satisfied or not.

(2) Each Lender shall immediately on demand indemnify the Fronting Lender to the extent of such Xxxxxx's Rateable Portion of any amount paid or liability incurred by the Fronting Lender under each Fronted LC issued by it to the extent that the Borrower does not fully reimburse the Fronting Lender therefor.

(3) For certainty, the obligations in this Section 7.8 shall continue as obligations of those Lenders who were Lenders at the time when each such Letter of Credit was issued notwithstanding that such Lender may assign its rights and obligations hereunder, unless the Fronting Lender specifically releases such Lender from such obligations in writing.

7.9	Fees and Expenses

(1) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of all Lenders an issuance fee, payable quarterly in arrears on the first Banking Day of each calendar quarter and payable on the Maturity Date or (if applicable) any earlier date on which the Credit Facility under which such Letter of Credit is issued is fully cancelled, calculated at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Pricing Rate and on the average daily amount of each such Letter of Credit for the number of days such Letter of Credit was outstanding for the period from and including the date of issuance or the date of the immediately preceding determination of issuance fees (as the case may be) to but excluding that date of determination, in each case, in a year of 365 days; provided that the minimum issuance fee for each such Letter of Credit shall be Cdn.$350 for Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars and U.S.$350 for Letter of Credit denominated in United States Dollars.

(2) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Fronting Lender in respect of any Fronted LC, a fronting fee, payable in arrears on the first Banking Day of each calendar quarter and payable on the Maturity Date or (if applicable) any earlier date on which the Credit Facility under which such Letter of Credit is issued is fully cancelled, calculated at a rate per annum as is agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Fronting Lender from time to time (as advised to the Agent in writing by the Fronting Lender from time to time) on the average daily amount of each such Fronted LC for the number of days which such Fronted LC was outstanding for the period from and including the date of issuance or the date of the immediately preceding determination of such fees (as the case may be) to but excluding that date of determination, in each case, in a year of 365 days.

(3) In addition, with respect to all Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Operating Lender, the Agent or the Fronting Lender, as the case may be, its usual and customary fees and charges (at the then prevailing rates) for the amendment, delivery and administration of letters of credit such as the Letters of Credit and shall pay and reimburse the Agent, the Fronting Lender, the Operating Lender and the Lenders for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with any payment thereunder.

7.10	Additional Provisions

(1) Indemnity and No Lender Liability

The Borrower shall indemnify and save harmless the Lenders, the Fronting Lender, the Operating Lender and the Agent against all claims, losses, costs, expenses or damages to the Lenders, the Fronting Lender, the Operating Lender and the Agent arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit, the issuance thereof, any payment thereunder or any action taken by the Lenders, the Fronting Lender, the Operating Lender or the Agent or any other person in connection therewith, including all costs relating to any legal process or proceeding instituted by any party restraining or seeking to restrain the issuer of a Letter of Credit or the Agent from accepting or paying any Draft or any amount under any such Letter of Credit, except as a result of the Agent's, Lenders', Fronting Lender's or Operating Lender's (as applicable) gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Borrower also agrees that the Lenders, the Fronting Lender, the Operating Lender and the Agent shall have no liability to it for any reason in respect of or in connection with any Letter of Credit, the issuance thereof, any payment thereunder or any other action taken by the Lenders, the Fronting Lender, the Operating Lender or the Agent or any other person in connection therewith, except as a result of the Agent's, Xxxxxxx', Fronting Lender's or Operating Lender's (as applicable) gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(2) No Obligation to Inquire

The Borrower hereby acknowledges and confirms to each of the Operating Lender, the Fronting Lender, the Agent and the Lenders that the Operating Lender, the Fronting Lender, the Agent and the Lenders shall not be obliged to make any inquiry or investigation as to the right of any beneficiary to make any claim or Draft or request any payment under a Letter of Credit and payment pursuant to a Letter of Credit shall not be withheld by reason of any matters in dispute between the beneficiary thereof and the Borrower. The sole obligation of the Operating Lender, the Fronting Lender and the Agent and the Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit is to cause to be paid a Draft drawn or purporting to be drawn in accordance with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit and for such purpose the Operating Lender, the Fronting Lender or Agent, as the case may be, is only obliged to determine that the Draft purports to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit.

The Operating Lender, the Fronting Lender, the Agent and the Lenders shall not have any responsibility or liability for or any duty to inquire into the form, sufficiency (other than to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph), authorization, execution, signature, endorsement, correctness (other than to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph), genuineness or legal effect of any Draft, certificate or other document presented to it pursuant to a Letter of Credit and the Borrower unconditionally assumes all risks with respect to the same. The Borrower agrees that it assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit with respect to the use by such beneficiary of the relevant Letter of Credit. The Borrower further agrees that neither the Agent nor any Lender, including the Fronting Lender and the Operating Lender, nor any of their respective officers, directors or correspondents will assume liability for, or be responsible for:

(a)	the validity, correctness, genuineness or legal effect of any document or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, even if such document or instrument should in fact prove to be in any respect invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

(b)	the failure of any document or instrument to bear any reference or adequate reference to any Letter of Credit;

(c)	any failure to note the amount of any Draft on any Letter of Credit or on any related document or instrument;

(d)	any failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to meet the obligations of such beneficiary to the Borrower or any other person;

(e)	any errors, inaccuracies, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, directions or correspondence by mail, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they are in cipher;

(f)	any inaccuracies in the translation of any messages, directions or correspondence or for errors in the interpretation of any technical terms; or

(g)

any failure by the Agent or any Lender, including the Fronting Lender and the Operating Lender, to make payment under any Letter of Credit as a result of any law, control or restriction rightfully or wrongfully exercised or imposed by any domestic or foreign court or government or Governmental Authority or as a result of any other cause beyond the control of the Agent or any Lender, including the Fronting Lender and the Operating Lender, or their respective officers, directors or correspondents.

(3) Obligations Unconditional

The obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be reduced by any event, circumstance or occurrence, including any lack of validity or enforceability of a Letter of Credit, or any Draft paid or acted upon by the Operating Lender, the Fronting Lender, the Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective correspondents being fraudulent, forged, invalid or insufficient in any respect (except with respect to their gross negligence or wilful misconduct or payment under a Letter of Credit other than in substantial compliance herewith), or any set-off, defenses, rights or claims which the Borrower may have against any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to any alteration to or extension of the expiration date of any Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued to replace, extend or alter any Letter of Credit.

Any amount paid to the Agent pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be held by the Agent in interest bearing cash collateral accounts (with interest payable for the account of the Borrower at the rates and in accordance with the then prevailing practices of the Agent for accounts of such type) as continuing security for the Obligations and shall, prior to an Event of Default be applied by the Agent against the Obligations for, or (at the option of the Agent) be applied in payment of, such Letter of Credit if payment is required thereunder; after an Event of Default the Agent may apply such amounts, firstly, against any Obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit, and, after satisfaction of such Obligations or expiry of such Letter of Credit, against any other Obligations as it sees fit or as is directed by the Lenders.

The Agent shall release to the Borrower any amount remaining in the cash collateral accounts after applying the amounts necessary to discharge the Obligations relating to such Letter of Credit, upon the later of:

The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the "Uniform Customs") shall in all respects apply to each Letter of Credit unless expressly provided to the contrary therein and shall be deemed for such purpose to be a part of this Agreement as if fully incorporated herein. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Uniform Customs and the governing law of this Agreement, the Uniform Customs shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prevail to the extent necessary to remove the conflict or inconsistency.

(2) The Borrower shall execute and deliver Security in the forms of Schedules H-1, H-2 and H-3 annexed hereto and shall cause the Parent and each of its Material Subsidiaries to execute and deliver Security in the forms of Schedules H-4, H-5, H-6 and H-7 annexed hereto, as applicable, in each case with such modifications and insertions as may be required by the Agent, acting reasonably (including having regard to the jurisdictions where such Material Subsidiaries carry on business).

(3) The Borrower (i) shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, give written notice to the Agent of the acquisition, creation or existence of each Material Subsidiary created or acquired after the date hereof, together with such other information as the Agent may reasonably require, and (ii) shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Banking Days of such acquisition, creation or existence, cause each new Material Subsidiary to promptly execute and deliver to the Agent the Security contemplated hereby (together with a certified copy of its constating documents and a legal opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, acting reasonably).

(4) The Borrower shall ensure that at all times, at least 85% of Consolidated Assets shall be legally, beneficially and directly owned by the Parent and Material Subsidiaries which have provided Security hereunder; and if at any time less than 85% of Consolidated Assets shall be legally, beneficially and directly owned by the Parent and Material Subsidiaries which have provided Security hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Banking Days after any such occurrence, designate another Subsidiary of the Parent which is not then a Material Subsidiary to be a Designated Material Subsidiary pursuant hereto to the extent required to ensure that after such designation, 85% or more of Consolidated Assets shall be legally, beneficially and directly owned by the Parent and Material Subsidiaries which have provided Security hereunder.

The Borrower shall from time to time, by notice in writing to the Agent (together with reasonable particulars which demonstrate compliance with the foregoing covenant), be entitled to designate that either:

(a)	a Subsidiary of the Parent which is not a Material Subsidiary shall become a Designated Material Subsidiary; or

(b)	a Designated Material Subsidiary shall cease to be a Material Subsidiary,

provided that the Borrower shall not be entitled to designate that a Designated Material Subsidiary shall cease to be a Material Subsidiary if:

(c)	a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(d)	a Default or an Event of Default would result from or exist immediately after such a designation; or

(e)	such Designated Material Subsidiary falls within part (a), (b) or (c) or the proviso of the definition of "Material Subsidiary".

The Borrower shall amend and renew such registrations, filings and recordings from time to time as and when required to keep them in full force and effect or to preserve the priority established by any prior registration, filing or recording thereof.

(b)

the Parent and its Subsidiaries execute and deliver to the Agent such other and further debentures, mortgages, trust deeds, assignments and security agreements as may be reasonably required to ensure the Agent holds, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, first priority Security Interests on and against all of the property and assets of the Parent and its Material Subsidiaries;

except that in no event shall the Agent require that the foregoing be effected if the result thereof would be to grant the Agent or the Lenders greater rights than is otherwise contemplated herein or therein.

No item or part of the Security shall be merged or be deemed to have been merged in or by this Agreement or any documents, instruments or acknowledgements delivered hereunder, or any simple contract debt or any judgment, and any realization of or steps taken under or pursuant to any security, instrument or agreement shall be independent of and not create a merger with any other right available to the Lenders or the Agent under any security, instruments or agreements held by it or at law or in equity.

The Security and the security created by any other Document constituted or required to be created shall be effective, and the undertakings as to the Security herein or in any other Document shall be continuing, whether any Loans are then outstanding or any amounts thereby secured or any part thereof shall be owing before or after, or at the same time as, the creation of such Security Interests or before or after or upon the date of execution of any amendments to this Agreement.

11.7	Release and Discharge of Security

(1) The Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not be discharged from the Security or any part thereof, other than to the extent that such Security applies to a Permitted Disposition (in which case the Security shall cease to apply to the subject matter thereof for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders) except by a written release and discharge signed by the Agent with the prior written consent of the Lenders. If all of the Obligations have been repaid, paid, satisfied and discharged, as the case may be, in full and the Credit Facilities have been fully cancelled, then the Agent shall cause it and the Lenders' interest in the Security to be released and discharged. The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, upon request of the Borrower, to, without further authorization from the Lenders, sign any and all releases, letters of no interest, or other documents or interests releasing the Security as it applies to a Permitted Disposition and any other disposition permitted by Section 10.2(d).

(2) The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, upon the written request of the Borrower, to subordinate the Security Interests created by the Security with respect to any property or assets subject to a Permitted Encumbrance described in subparagraph (q) of the definition thereof or release such Security Interests from any property or assets subject to a Permitted Encumbrance described in subparagraphs (l) and (q) of the definition thereof; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Security Interests created by the Security shall be subordinated or released by the Agent on, to or with respect to any P&NG Rights or P&NG Leases.

(c)

the Lender Financial Instruments of any such Hedging Affiliate or the Lender Financial Instrument Obligations owing to or in favour of any such Hedging Affiliate shall not be included or taken into account for the purposes of Section 16.10 or (for certainty) in any determination of the Majority of the Lenders or the Lenders which shall be determined solely based upon the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder or the Outstanding Principal owing to the Lenders.

11.10

Security for Hedging with Former Lenders

If a Lender ceases to be a Lender under this Agreement (a "Former Lender"), all Lender Financial Instrument Obligations owing to such Former Lender and its Hedging Affiliates under Lender Financial Instruments entered into while such Former Lender was a Lender shall remain secured by the Security (equally and rateably) to the extent that such Lender Financial Instrument Obligations were secured by the Security prior to such Lender becoming a Former Lender and, subject to the following provisions of this Section 11.10 and unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to "Lender Financial Instrument Obligations" shall include such obligations to a Former Lender and its Hedging Affiliates and all references herein to "Lender Financial Instruments" shall include such Financial Instruments with a Former Lender and its Hedging Affiliates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Former Lender or any Affiliate thereof shall have any right to cause or require the enforcement of the Security or any right to participate in any decisions relating to the Security, including any decisions relating to the enforcement or manner of enforcement of the Security or decisions relating to any amendment to, waiver under, release of or other dealing with all or any part of the Security; for certainty, the sole right of a Former Lender and its Affiliates with respect to the Security is to share, on a pari passu basis, in any proceeds of realization and enforcement of the Security.

In such event and if the Borrower does not immediately pay all such amounts upon receipt of such notice, either the Lenders (in accordance with the proviso in Section 15.11(i)) or the Agent on their behalf may, in their discretion, exercise any right or recourse and/or proceed by any action, suit, remedy or proceeding against the Borrower authorized or permitted by law for the recovery of all the indebtedness and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and proceed to exercise any and all rights hereunder and under the other Documents and no such remedy for the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders shall be exclusive of or dependent on any other remedy but any one or more of such remedies may from time to time be exercised independently or in combination.

Any waiver by, as applicable, the Majority of the Lenders, the Lenders or the Agent of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any term, covenant, condition or other matter contained herein and any indulgence granted, either expressly or by course of conduct, by, as applicable, the Majority of the Lenders, the Lenders or the Agent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given and shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agent under this Agreement or any other Document as a result of any other default or breach hereunder or thereunder.

106

12.5	Termination of Lenders' Obligations

The occurrence of a Default or Event of Default shall relieve the Lenders of all obligations to provide any further Drawdowns, Rollovers or Conversions to the Borrower hereunder; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Lenders or the Agent from disbursing money or effecting any Conversion which, by the terms hereof, they are entitled to effect, or any Conversion or Rollover requested by the Borrower and acceptable to the Lenders and the Agent.

12.6	Acceleration of All Lender Obligations

(1) If a Lender is actually aware of a Termination Event under Lender Financial Instruments to which it is a party or if a Lender has delivered a Financial Instrument Demand for Payment to the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof, then it shall promptly notify the Agent and other Lenders thereof.

(b)	a Financial Instrument Demand for Payment has been delivered to the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof by any Lender and the cure period provided in Section 12.1(q) has expired; or

(3) Each agreement, indenture, instrument or other document evidencing or relating to a Lender Financial Instrument shall, notwithstanding any provision thereof to the contrary, be deemed to be hereby amended to allow and permit the Lender which is a party thereto to comply with the provisions of this Section 12.6.

Except as otherwise agreed to by all of the Lenders in their sole discretion, all monies and property received by the Lenders for application in respect of the Obligations and the Financial Instrument Obligations under Lender Financial Instruments subsequent to the Adjustment Time and all monies received as a result of a realization upon the Security (collectively, the "Realization Proceeds") shall be applied and distributed to the Lenders and the Agent in the order and manner set forth below:

107

(a)	firstly, distributed proportionately to the Lenders and the Agent in accordance with amounts owing to each Lender and the Agent on account of the costs and expenses of enforcement and realization upon the Security; and

(b)	secondly, distributed Rateably to the Lenders and Hedging Affiliates on account of the Obligations and the Financial Instrument Obligations under Lender Financial Instruments;

and the balance of the Realization Proceeds (if any) shall be paid to the Borrower or otherwise as may be required by law.

12.8	Calculations as at the Adjustment Time

For the purposes of this Agreement, if:

(a)	a Financial Instrument Demand for Payment has been delivered; or

(b)	a Termination Event has occurred under any agreement evidencing a Lender Financial Instrument;

then any amount which is payable by the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof under such Lender Financial Instrument in settlement of obligations arising thereunder as a result of the early termination of the Lender Financial Instrument shall be deemed to have become payable at the time of delivery of such Financial Instrument Demand for Payment or the time of occurrence of such Termination Event, as the case may be, notwithstanding that the amount payable by the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof is to be subsequently calculated and notice thereof given to the Parent or such Subsidiary in accordance with such Lender Financial Instrument.

12.9	Sharing Repayments

Each Lender agrees that, subsequent to the Adjustment Time, it will at any time and from time to time upon the request of the Agent purchase undivided participations in the Obligations and Financial Instrument Obligations under Lender Financial Instruments and make any other adjustments which may be necessary or appropriate, in order that Obligations and Financial Instrument Obligations under Lender Financial Instruments which remain outstanding to each Lender and its Hedging Affiliates are thereafter outstanding, as adjusted pursuant to this Section, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.7. The Borrower agrees to do, or cause to be done (whether by it, the Parent or its Subsidiaries), all things reasonably necessary or appropriate to give effect to any and all purchases and other adjustments by and between the Lenders pursuant to this Section.

ARTICLE 13 - CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES

13.1	Market Disruption Respecting LIBOR Loans

If at any time subsequent to the giving of a Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice to the Agent by the Borrower with regard to any requested Libor Loan:

108

(a)

the Agent (acting reasonably) determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest with respect to, or deposits are not available in sufficient amounts in the ordinary course of business at the rate determined hereunder to fund, a requested Libor Loan during the ensuing Interest Period selected;

(b)	the Agent (acting reasonably) determines that the making or continuing of the requested Libor Loan by the Lenders has been made impracticable by the occurrence of an event which materially adversely affects the London interbank market generally; or

(c)

the Agent is advised by Xxxxxxx holding at least 25% of the Commitments of all Lenders hereunder by written notice (each, a "Xxxxxx Xxxxx Suspension Notice"), such notice received by the Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the third Banking Day prior to the date of the requested Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion, as the case may be, that such Lenders have determined (acting reasonably) that the Libor Rate will not adequately reflect the cost of funds to such Lenders of United States Dollar deposits in such market for the relevant Interest Period,

then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower as soon as possible after such determination or receipt of such Lender Libor Suspension Notice, as the case may be, and the Borrower shall, within one Banking Day after receipt of such notice and in replacement of the Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice, as the case may be, previously given by the Borrower, give the Agent a Drawdown Notice or a Conversion Notice, as the case may be, which specifies the Drawdown of any other Loan or the Conversion of the relevant Libor Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period into any other Loan which would not be affected by the notice from the Agent pursuant to this Section 13.1. In the event the Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a valid replacement Conversion Notice with respect to the maturing Libor Loans which were the subject of a Rollover Notice, such maturing Libor Loans shall be converted on the last day of the applicable Interest Period into U.S. Base Rate Loans as if a Conversion Notice had been given to the Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof. In the event the Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a valid replacement Drawdown Notice with respect to a Drawdown originally requested by way of a Libor Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Drawdown by way of a U.S. Base Rate Loan in the amount specified in the original Drawdown Notice and, on the originally requested Drawdown Date, the Lenders (subject to the other provisions hereof) shall make available the requested amount by way of a U.S. Base Rate Loan.

13.2	Market Disruption Respecting Bankers' Acceptances

If:

(a)	the Agent (acting reasonably) makes a determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, and notifies the Borrower, that there no longer exists an active market for bankers' acceptances accepted by the Lenders; or

109

(b)

the Agent is advised by Xxxxxxx holding at least 25% of the Commitments of all Lenders hereunder by written notice (each, a "Lender BA Suspension Notice") that such Lenders have determined (acting reasonably) that the BA Discount Rate will not or does not accurately reflect the cost of funds of such Lenders or the discount rate which would be applicable to a sale of Bankers' Acceptances accepted by such Lenders in the market;

then:

(c)	the right of the Borrower to request Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances from any Lender shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and so notifies the Borrower and the Lenders;

(d)	any outstanding Drawdown Notice requesting a Loan by way of Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances shall be deemed to be a Drawdown Notice requesting a Loan by way of Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the amount specified in the original Drawdown Notice;

(e)

any outstanding Conversion Notice requesting a Conversion of a Loan by way of U.S. Base Rate Loans or Libor Loans into a Loan by way of Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances shall be deemed to be a Conversion Notice requesting a Conversion of such Loan into a Loan by way of Canadian Prime Rate Loans; and

(f)	any outstanding Rollover Notice requesting a Rollover of a Loan by way of Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances, shall be deemed to be a Conversion Notice requesting a Conversion of such Loans into a Loan by way of Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any suspension of the Borrower's right to request the Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances and of any termination of any such suspension. A Lender BA Suspension Notice shall be effective upon receipt of the same by the Agent if received prior to 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on a Banking Day and if not, then on the next following Banking Day, except in connection with a Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice previously received by the Agent, in which case the applicable Lender BA Suspension Notice shall only be effective with respect to such previously received Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice if received by the Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) two Banking Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date (as applicable) applicable to such previously received Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as applicable.

110

13.3	Change in Law

(1) If the adoption of any applicable law, regulation, treaty or official directive (whether or not having the force of law) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any Governmental Authority or any other entity charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by a Lender with any request or direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority or entity in each case after the date hereof:

(a)

subjects such Lender or its Lender Parent to, or causes the withdrawal or termination of a previously granted exemption with respect to, any Taxes (other than Taxes on such Lender's or its Lender Parent's overall income), or changes the basis of taxation of payments due to such Lender, or increases any existing Taxes (other than Taxes on such Lender's or its Lender Parent's overall income) on payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement;

(b)

imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, regulatory or similar requirement against assets or liabilities held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by such Lender or its Lender Parent, or any acquisition of funds for loans or commitments to fund loans or obligations in respect of undrawn, committed lines of credit or in respect of Bankers' Acceptances accepted by such Lender;

(c)

imposes on such Lender or its Lender Parent or requires there to be maintained by such Lender or its Lender Parent any capital adequacy or additional capital requirements (including a requirement which affects such Lender's or its Lender Parent's allocation of capital resources to its obligations) in respect of any Loan or obligation of such Lender hereunder, or any other condition with respect to this Agreement; or

(d)

directly or indirectly affects the cost to such Lender or its Lender Parent of making available, funding or maintaining any Loan (other than changes in Taxes on such Lender's or its Lender Parent's overall income) or otherwise imposes on such Lender or its Lender Parent any other condition or requirement affecting this Agreement or any Loan or any obligation of such Lender hereunder;

and the result of (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, in the sole determination of such Lender acting in good faith, is:

(e)	to increase the cost to such Lender or its Lender Parent of performing its obligations hereunder with respect to any Loan;

(f)	to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender or its Lender Parent hereunder or its effective return hereunder or on its capital in respect of any Loan or any Credit Facility;

(g)	to reduce the standby fees payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 5.6; or

111

(h)	to cause such Lender or its Lender Parent to make any payment with respect to or to forego any return on or calculated by reference to, any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect to any Loan or any Credit Facility;

such Lender shall determine that amount of money which shall compensate the Lender or its Lender Parent for such increase in cost, payments to be made or reduction in income or return or interest foregone (herein referred to as "Additional Compensation"). Upon a Lender having determined that it is entitled to Additional Compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Agent. The relevant Lender shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with a photocopy of the relevant law, rule, guideline, regulation, treaty or official directive (or, if it is impracticable to provide a photocopy, a written summary of the same) and a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Lender setting forth the Additional Compensation and the basis of calculation therefor, which shall be conclusive evidence of such Additional Compensation in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to such Lender within 10 Banking Days of the giving of such notice such Xxxxxx's Additional Compensation. Each of the Lenders shall be entitled to be paid such Additional Compensation from time to time to the extent that the provisions of this Section are then applicable notwithstanding that any Lender has previously been paid any Additional Compensation.

(2) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, and Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States, Canadian or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (b) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (United States) and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in applicable law for purposes of this Section 13.3 regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(3) Each Lender agrees that it will not claim Additional Compensation from the Borrower under Section 13.3(1) if it is not generally claiming similar compensation from its other customers in similar circumstances or in respect of any period greater than 90 days prior to the delivery of notice in respect thereof by such Lender, unless, in the latter case, the adoption, change or other event or circumstance giving rise to the claim for Additional Compensation is retroactive or is retroactive in effect.

13.4	Prepayment of Portion

In addition to the other rights and options of the Borrower hereunder and notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof, if a Lender gives the notice provided for in Section 13.3 with respect to any Loan (an "Affected Loan"), the Borrower may, upon 2 Banking Days notice to that effect given to such Lender and the Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), prepay in full without penalty such Xxxxxx's Rateable Portion of the Affected Loan outstanding together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid up to the date of such prepayment, such Additional Compensation as may be applicable to the date of such payment and all costs, losses and expenses incurred by such Lender by reason of the liquidation or re deployment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Affected Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, and upon such payment being made that Lender's obligations to make such Affected Loans to the Borrower under this Agreement shall terminate.

112

13.5	Illegality

If a Lender determines, in good faith, that the adoption of any applicable law, regulation, treaty or official directive (whether or not having the force of law) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any Governmental Authority or any other entity charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by a Lender or its Lender Parent with any request or direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority or entity, now or hereafter makes it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to, or for its Lender Parent to permit such Lender to, make, fund or maintain a Loan under any Credit Facility or to give effect to its obligations in respect of such a Loan, such Lender may, by written notice thereof to the Borrower and to the Agent declare its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Loan to be terminated whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and the Borrower shall, within the time required by such law (or at the end of such longer period as such Lender at its discretion has agreed), either effect a Conversion of such Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof (if such Conversion would resolve the unlawfulness or impossibility) or prepay the principal of such Loan together with accrued interest, such Additional Compensation as may be applicable with respect to such Loan to the date of such payment and all costs, losses and expenses incurred by the Lenders by reason of the liquidation or re deployment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. If any such change shall only affect a portion of such Lender's obligations under this Agreement which is, in the opinion of such Lender and the Agent, severable from the remainder of this Agreement so that the remainder of this Agreement may be continued in full force and effect without otherwise affecting any of the obligations of the Agent, the other Lenders or the Borrower hereunder, such Lender shall only declare its obligations under that portion so terminated.

ARTICLE 14 - COSTS, EXPENSES AND INDEMNIFICATION

14.1	Costs and Expenses

The Borrower shall pay promptly upon notice from the Agent all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lenders and the Agent, including travel expenses of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, in connection with the Documents and the establishment and initial syndication of the Credit Facilities, including in connection with preparation, printing, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Documents whether or not any Drawdown has been made hereunder, and also including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lenders' Counsel with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent and the Lenders as to their rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Documents.

114

(h)	any inaccuracy or incompleteness of the Borrower's representations and warranties contained in Article 9;

14.3	Environmental Indemnity

The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties forthwith on demand by the Agent from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, debts, damages, costs, losses, liabilities, penalties, obligations, judgments, charges, expenses and disbursements (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and his own client basis) of any nature whatsoever, suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of them in connection with any Credit Facility, whether as beneficiaries under the Documents, as successors in interest of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or voluntary transfer in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise howsoever, with respect to any Environmental Claims relating to the property of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries arising under any Environmental Laws as a result of the past, present or future operations of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor in interest to the Parent or its Subsidiaries) relating to the property of the Parent or its Subsidiaries, or the past, present or future condition of any part of the property of the Parent or its Subsidiaries owned, operated or leased by the Parent or its Subsidiaries (or any such predecessor in interest), including any liabilities arising as a result of any indemnity covering Environmental Claims given to any person by the Lenders or the Agent or a receiver, receiver manager or similar person appointed hereunder or under applicable law (collectively, the "Indemnified Third Party"); but excluding any Environmental Claims or liabilities relating thereto to the extent that such Environmental Claims or liabilities arise by reason of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Third Party claiming indemnity hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall survive the repayment of the Obligations.

14.4	Judgment Currency

(1) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrower in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Banking Day immediately preceding:

(3) Any amount due from the Borrower under the provisions of Section 14.4(2) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement.

(3) For certainty, the Agent is authorized to execute and deliver the Security and the Subordination Agreement.

15.2	Procedure for Making Loans

(1) The Agent shall make Loans available to the Borrower as required hereunder by debiting the account of the Agent to which the Lenders' Rateable Portions of such Loans have been credited in accordance with Section 2.12 (or causing such account to be debited) and, in the absence of other arrangements agreed to by the Agent and the Borrower in writing, by crediting the account of the Borrower or, at the expense of the Borrower, transferring (or causing to be transferred) like funds in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower as set forth in the Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice, as the case may be, in respect of each Loan; provided that the obligation of the Agent hereunder to effect such a transfer shall be limited to taking such steps as are commercially reasonable to implement such instructions, which steps once taken shall constitute conclusive and binding evidence that such funds were advanced hereunder in accordance with the provisions relating thereto and the Agent shall not be liable for any damages, claims or costs which may be suffered by the Borrower and occasioned by the failure of such Loan to reach the designated destination.

(2) Unless the Agent has been notified by a Lender at least one Banking Day prior to the Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, requested by the Borrower that such Lender will not make available to the Agent its Rateable Portion of such Loan, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion of the Loan available to the Agent on the Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Agent may, but shall be in no way obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Rateable Portion of a Loan available to the Agent, such Xxxxxx agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such Xxxxxx's Rateable Portion of the Loan and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection therewith together with interest thereon (at the rate payable hereunder by the Borrower in respect of such Loan or, in the case of funds made available in anticipation of a Lender remitting proceeds of a Bankers' Acceptance, at the rate of interest per annum applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding such obligation if such Lender fails to so pay, the Borrower covenants and agrees that, without prejudice to any rights the Borrower may have against such Lender, it shall repay such amount to the Agent forthwith after demand therefor by the Agent. The amount payable to the Agent pursuant hereto shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by the Agent to such Lender and the Borrower (which certificate shall contain reasonable details of how the amount payable is calculated) and shall be prima facie evidence thereof, in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender makes the payment to the Agent required herein, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Rateable Portion of the Loan for purposes of this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make its Rateable Portion of any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Rateable Portion of such Loan on the Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Rateable Portion of any Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion, as the case may be.

117

15.3	Remittance of Payments

Except for amounts payable to the Agent for its own account, forthwith after receipt of any repayment pursuant hereto or payment of interest or fees pursuant to Article 5 or payment pursuant to Article 8, the Agent shall remit to each Lender its Rateable Portion of such payment; provided that, if the Agent, on the assumption that it will receive on any particular date a payment of principal, interest or fees hereunder, remits to a Lender its Rateable Portion of such payment and the Borrower fails to make such payment, each of the Lenders on receipt of such remittance from the Agent agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand an amount equal to the remittance together with all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection therewith and interest thereon at the rate and calculated in the manner applicable to the Loan in respect of which such payment is made, or, in the case of a remittance in respect of Bankers' Acceptances, at the rate of interest applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans for each day from the date such amount is remitted to the Lenders without prejudice to any right such Lender may have against the Borrower. The exact amount of the repayment required to be made by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be as set forth in a certificate delivered by the Agent to each Lender, which certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

15.4	Redistribution of Payment

Each Lender agrees that:

(a)

if the Lender exercises any security against or right of counter claim, set off or banker's lien or similar right with respect to the property of the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof or if under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law it receives a secured claim and collateral for which it is, or is entitled to exercise any set off against, a debt owed by it to the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof, the Lender shall apportion the amount thereof proportionately between:

118

(i)	such Xxxxxx's Rateable Portion of all outstanding Obligations owing by the Borrower (including the face amounts at maturity of Bankers' Acceptances accepted by the Lenders), which amounts shall be applied in accordance with Section 15.4(b); and

(ii)	amounts otherwise owed to such Lender by the Parent and its Subsidiaries,

provided that (i) any cash collateral account held by such Lender as collateral for a letter of credit or bankers' acceptance (other than a Bankers' Acceptance) issued or accepted by such Lender on behalf of the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof which is secured by a Permitted Encumbrance may be applied by such Lender to such amounts owed by the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof, as the case may be, to such Lender pursuant to such letter of credit or in respect of any such bankers' acceptance without apportionment and (ii) these provisions do not apply to:

(A)	a right or claim which arises or exists in respect of a loan or other debt in respect of which the relevant Lender holds a Security Interest which is a Permitted Encumbrance;

(B)

cash collateral provided, or the exercise of rights of counterclaim, set-off or banker's lien or similar rights, in respect of account positioning arrangements for the Parent and its Subsidiaries provided by a Lender in the ordinary course of business or in respect of other cash management services provided by a Lender in the ordinary course of business;

(C)	any reduction in amounts owing by a Lender (or its Hedging Affiliates) to the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof upon the termination of Lender Financial Instruments entered into with the relevant Lender (or its Hedging Affiliates); or

(D)	any payment to which a Lender is entitled as a result of any credit default swap, credit derivative or other form of credit protection obtained by such Lender;

(b)

if, in the aforementioned circumstances, the Lender, through the exercise of a right, or the receipt of a secured claim described in Section 15.4(a) above or otherwise, receives payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of Obligations due to it hereunder which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate Obligations due to the Lenders (having regard to the respective Rateable Portions of the Lenders), the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase, on a non recourse basis at par, and make payment for a participation (which shall be deemed to have been done simultaneously with receipt of such payment) in the outstanding Loans of the other Lender or Lenders so that their respective receipts shall be pro rata to their respective Rateable Portions; provided, however, that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower or any trustee, liquidator, receiver or receiver manager or person with analogous powers from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price paid for such participation shall be returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest unless the purchasing Lender is required to pay interest on such amount, in which case each selling Lender shall reimburse the purchasing Lender pro rata in relation to the amounts received by it. Such Lender shall exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claims; and

119

(c)	if the Lender does, or is required to do, any act or thing permitted by Section 15.4(a) or (b) above, it shall promptly provide full particulars thereof to the Agent.

15.5	Duties and Obligations

Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees (and, for purposes hereof, the Agent shall be deemed to be contracting as agent and trustee for and on behalf of such persons) shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement except for its or their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(a)

may assume that there has been no assignment or transfer by any means by the Lenders of their rights hereunder, unless and until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment thereof from such Xxxxxx and the Agent receives from the assignee an executed Assignment Agreement providing, inter alia, that such assignee is bound hereby as it would have been if it had been an original Lender party hereto;

(b)

may consult with legal counsel (including receiving the opinions of Xxxxxxxx's counsel and Xxxxxxx' Counsel required hereunder), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts;

(c)

shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, cable, telecopier, electronic mail or other electronic means of communication which may generate a written report thereof) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties or by acting upon any representation or warranty of the Borrower made or deemed to be made hereunder;

120

(d)	may assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary;

(e)	may rely as to any matters of fact which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of any person upon a certificate signed by or on behalf of such person;

(f)

shall not be bound to disclose to any other person any information relating to the Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any other person if such disclosure would or might in its opinion constitute a breach of any applicable law, be in default of the provisions hereof or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any other person; and

(g)

may refrain from exercising any right, power or discretion vested in it which would or might in its reasonable opinion be contrary to any applicable law or any directive or otherwise render it liable to any person, and may do anything which is in its reasonable opinion necessary to comply with such applicable law.

Further, the Agent (i) does not make any warranty or representation to any Lender nor shall it be responsible to any Lender for the accuracy or completeness of the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein or the data made available to any of the Lenders in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, or for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (ii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to enquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto.

15.6	Prompt Notice to the Lenders

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Agent agrees to provide to the Lenders, with copies where appropriate, all information, notices and reports required to be given to the Agent by the Borrower, promptly upon receipt of same, excepting therefrom information and notices relating solely to the role of Agent hereunder.

15.7	Agent's and Lenders' Authorities

With respect to its Commitments and the Drawdowns, Rollovers, Conversions and Loans made by it as a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent. Subject to the express provisions hereof relating to the rights and obligations of the Agent and the Lenders in such capacities, the Agent and each Lender may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent and its Subsidiaries or any corporation or other entity owned or controlled by any of them and any person which may do business with any of them without any duties to account therefor to the Agent or the other Lenders and, in the case of the Agent, all as if it was not the Agent hereunder.

121

15.8	Lender Credit Decision

It is understood and agreed by each Lender that it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Parent and its Subsidiaries. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it is engaged in the business of making and evaluating the risks associated with commercial revolving loans or term loans, or both, to corporations similar to the Borrower, that it can bear the economic risks related to the transaction contemplated hereby, that it has had access to all information deemed necessary by it in making such decision (provided that this representation shall not impair its rights against the Borrower) and that it is entering into this Agreement in the ordinary course of its commercial lending business. Accordingly, each Lender confirms with the Agent that it has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the Agent (i) to check or enquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Parent or any other person under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions herein contemplated (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter distributed to such Lender by the Agent), or (ii) to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that a copy of this Agreement has been made available to it for review and each Lender acknowledges that it is satisfied with the form and substance of this Agreement. Each Lender hereby covenants and agrees that, subject to Section 15.4, it will not make any arrangements with the Borrower for the satisfaction of any Loans or other Obligations without the consent of all the other Lenders.

15.9	Indemnification of Agent

The Lenders hereby agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments as a proportion of the aggregate of all outstanding Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in respect of this Agreement in its capacity as Agent; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent's fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct. If the Borrower subsequently repays all or a portion of such amounts to the Agent, the Agent shall reimburse the Lenders their pro rata shares (according to the amounts paid by them in respect thereof) of the amounts received from the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Xxxxxx agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its portion (determined as above) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preservation of any rights of the Agent or the Lenders under, or the enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

122

15.10

Successor Agent

The Agent may, as hereinafter provided, resign at any time by giving 45 days' prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Lenders shall, after soliciting the views of the Borrower, have the right to appoint another Xxxxxx as a successor agent (the "Successor Agent") who shall be acceptable to the Borrower, acting reasonably. If no Successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a Successor Agent who shall be a Lender acceptable to the Borrower, acting reasonably. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a Successor Agent, 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 thereupon be discharged from its further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall continue to enure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it as Agent or in its capacity as Agent while it was Agent hereunder.

15.11

Taking and Enforcement of Remedies

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the remedies provided hereunder to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder are to be exercised not severally, but collectively by the Agent upon the decision of the Majority of the Lenders regardless of whether acceleration was made pursuant to Section 12.2. Notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to individually take any action with respect to any Credit Facility, including any acceleration under Section 12.2, but that any such action shall be taken only by the Agent with the prior written agreement or instructions of the Majority of the Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Agent, having been adequately indemnified against costs and expenses of so doing by the Lenders, shall fail to carry out any such instructions of a Majority of the Lenders, any Lender may do so on behalf of all Lenders and shall, in so doing, be entitled to the benefit of all protections given the Agent hereunder or elsewhere, and (ii) in the absence of instructions from the Majority of the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Agent the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders or any of them take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interests of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written consent being given by the Majority of the Lenders, or upon a Lender or the Agent taking action as aforesaid, it shall cooperate fully with the Lender or the Agent to the extent requested by the Lender or the Agent in the collective realization including and, if applicable, the appointment of a receiver, or receiver and manager to act for their collective benefit. Each Lender covenants and agrees to do all acts and things and to make, execute and deliver all agreements and other instruments, including any instruments necessary to effect any registrations, so as to fully carry out the intent and purpose of this Section; and each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that, subject to Section 5.7, Section 10.2(b), Section 15.4 and Section 15.14 it has not heretofore and shall not seek, take, accept or receive any security for any of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower hereunder or under any other document, instrument, writing or agreement ancillary hereto and shall not enter into any agreement with any of the parties hereto or thereto relating in any manner whatsoever to the Credit Facilities, unless all of the Lenders shall at the same time obtain the benefit of any such security or agreement.

With respect to any enforcement, realization or the taking of any rights or remedies to enforce the rights of the Lenders hereunder, the Agent shall be a trustee for each Lender, and all monies received from time to time by the Agent in respect of the foregoing shall be held in trust and shall be trust assets within the meaning of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency legislation and shall be considered for the purposes of such legislation to be held separate and apart from the other assets of the Agent, and each Lender shall be entitled to their Rateable Portion of such monies. In its capacity as trustee, the Agent shall be obliged to exercise only the degree of care it would exercise in the conduct and management of its own business and in accordance with its usual practice concurrently employed or hereafter instituted for other substantial commercial loans.

123

15.12

Reliance Upon Agent

The Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document or other advice, statement or instruction provided to it by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, and the Borrower shall generally be entitled to deal with the Agent with respect to matters under this Agreement which the Agent is authorized to deal with without any obligation whatsoever to satisfy itself as to the authority of the Agent to act on behalf of the Lenders and without any liability whatsoever to the Lenders for relying upon any certificate, notice or other document or other advice, statement or instruction provided to it by the Agent, notwithstanding any lack of authority of the Agent to provide the same.

15.13

No Liability of Agent

The Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder (unless such failure was caused, in whole or in part, by the Agent's failure to observe or perform its obligations hereunder), or to any Lender on account of the failure of the Borrower or any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder.

15.14

The Agent, Fronting Lender and Defaulting Lenders

(1) Each Defaulting Lender shall be required to provide to the Agent cash in an amount, as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent or the Fronting Lender, as the case may be, in its discretion, equal to all obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or the Fronting Lender, as the case may be, that are owing or may become owing pursuant to this Agreement, including such Defaulting Lender's obligation to pay its Rateable Portion of any indemnification, reimbursement or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by the Borrower. Such cash shall be held by the Agent in one or more cash collateral accounts, which accounts shall be in the name of the Agent and shall not be required to be interest bearing. The Agent shall and shall be entitled to apply the foregoing cash in accordance with Section 15.14(3).

124

(2) In addition to the indemnity and reimbursement obligations noted in Section 15.9, the Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder) rateably according to their respective Rateable Portions (and in calculating the Rateable Portion of a Lender, ignoring the Commitments of Defaulting Lenders) any amount that a Defaulting Lender fails to pay the Agent and which is due and owing to the Agent pursuant to Section 15.9. Each Defaulting Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify each other Lender for any amounts paid by such Lender and which would otherwise be payable by the Defaulting Lender.

(3) The Agent shall be entitled to set off any Defaulting Xxxxxx's Rateable Portion of all payments received from the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender's obligations to make payments and fund Loans required to be made by it and to purchase participations required to be purchased by it in each case under this Agreement and the other Documents. To the extent permitted by law, the Agent shall be entitled to withhold and deposit in one or more non-interest bearing cash collateral accounts in the name of the Agent all amounts (whether principal, interest, fees or otherwise) received by the Agent and due to a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement, for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, which amounts shall be used by the Agent:

(a)	first, to reimburse the Agent for any amounts owing to it, in its capacity as Agent, by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to any Document;

(b)	second, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Fronting Lender hereunder;

(c)	third, to the reimbursement, on a pro rata basis, of any indemnity amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 15.14(2);

(d)

fourth, to repay on a pro rata basis the incremental portion of any Loans made by a Lender pursuant to Section 16.2(4) in order to fund a shortfall created by a Defaulting Lender and, upon receipt of such repayment, each such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Defaulting Lender such incremental portion of such Loans;

(e)

fifth, to cash collateralize all other obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or the Fronting Lender owing pursuant to this Agreement in such amount as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent or the Fronting Lender, each in its discretion, including such Defaulting Lender's obligation to pay its Rateable Portion of any indemnification, reimbursement or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by the Borrower; and

(f)	sixth, to fund from time to time the Defaulting Xxxxxx's Rateable Portion of Loans,

125

provided that any such funds in excess of such Defaulting Lender's defaulted obligations shall be paid to the Defaulting Lender.

(4) For greater certainty and in addition to the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender (including a Defaulting Lender ) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with amounts payable by the Borrower to a Defaulting Lender and received and deposited by the Agent in a cash collateral account and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, save and except for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final non-appealable judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(5) If any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (such Defaulting Lender's Rateable Portion of the Outstanding Principal of such Letters of Credit is the "Defaulting Lender Exposure"), then:

(a)

to the extent the Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral for its Defaulting Lender Exposure pursuant to Sections 15.14(1) and 15.14(3)(b) above, such Defaulting Lender Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders for the purposes of Section 7.8 in accordance with their respective Rateable Portions (disregarding any Defaulting Lender's Commitment) but, for each non-Defaulting Lender, only to the extent that the sum of (i) any non Defaulting Lender's Rateable Portion of all outstanding Loans, plus (ii) such non-Defaulting Lender's rateable share (after giving effect to the reallocation contemplated herein) of the Defaulting Lender Exposure, does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment;

(b)

if the reallocation described in Section 15.14(5)(a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Banking Day following notice by the Fronting Lender prepay outstanding Letters of Credit (by the provision of cash collateral in accordance with Section 2.18(2)) to the extent necessary to allow a full reallocation of the Defaulting Lender Exposure as aforesaid; and

(c)

if the Rateable Portions of the Non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to this Section 15.14(5), then the issuance fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.8 shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocations in accordance with each such Non-Defaulting Lender's Rateable Portions.

(6) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Fronting Lender shall not be required to issue any Letters of Credit unless the Fronting Lender is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized in accordance with this Section 15.14, and participating interests in any such newly issued Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 15.14(5)(a) or 16.2(4), as applicable.

126

15.15

The provisions of this Article 15 which relate to the rights and obligations of the Lenders to each other or to the rights and obligations between the Agent and the Lenders shall be for the exclusive benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and, except to the extent provided in Sections 15.1, 15.2, 15.6, 15.10, 15.11, 15.12, 15.13 and this Section 15.15, the Borrower shall not have any rights or obligations thereunder or be entitled to rely for any purpose upon such provisions.

(d)

the Agent and each Lender may provide any Affiliate thereof with the Information to the extent reasonably required to be disclosed thereto; provided that each such Affiliate shall be under a like duty of confidentiality to that contained in this Section 16.1 and further provided that the Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, providing the Information shall be responsible for any breach by its Affiliate of the aforementioned like duty of confidentiality;

(g)

the Agent and each of the Lenders shall incur no liability in respect of any Information: (i) which is or becomes readily available to the public (other than by a breach hereof) or which has been made readily available to the public by the Parent or its Subsidiaries, (ii) which the Agent or the relevant Lender can show was, prior to receipt thereof from the Borrower, lawfully in the Agent's or Lender's possession and not then subject to any obligation on its part to the Borrower to maintain confidentiality, or (iii) which the Agent or the relevant Lender received from a third party who was not, to the knowledge of the Agent or such Lender, under a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower at the time the information was so received;

(h)

the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the Information to other financial institutions and other persons in connection with the assignment by the Agent or Lenders of the Credit Facilities or the granting by a Lender of a participation in the Credit Facilities, in each case, where such financial institution or other person agrees to be under a like duty of confidentiality to that contained in this Section; and

16.2	Nature of Obligation under this Agreement; Defaulting Lenders

(1) The obligations of each Lender and of the Agent under this Agreement are several. The failure of any Lender to carry out its obligations hereunder shall not relieve the other Lenders, the Agent or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of any of their respective obligations under the Documents.

(a)	the standby fees payable pursuant to Section 5.6 shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(b)

a Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether, and the Commitment and the Rateable Portion of the Outstanding Principal of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether, all Lenders or the Majority of the Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 16.10), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that (i) materially and adversely affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders, (ii) increases the Commitment or extends the Maturity Date of such Defaulting Lender, or (iii) relates to the matters set forth in Sections 16.10(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (x) shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and

(c)	for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall retain and reserve its other rights and remedies respecting each Defaulting Lender.

(4) If the Agent has actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at the time that the Agent receives (a) a Drawdown Notice, (b) a Rollover Notice that relates to a Letter of Credit, or (c) a Conversion Notice that will result in a currency conversion, then each other Lender shall fund its Rateable Portion of such affected Loan (and, in calculating such Rateable Portion, the Agent shall ignore the Commitments of each such Defaulting Lender); provided that, for certainty, no Lender shall be obligated by this Section to make or provide Loans in excess of its Commitment. If the Agent acquires actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at any time after the Agent received (a) a Drawdown Notice, (b) a Rollover Notice that relates to a Letter of Credit, or (c) a Conversion Notice that will result in a currency conversion, then the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such disclosure). Each Defaulting Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify each other Lender for any amounts paid by such Lender under this Section 16.2(4) and which would otherwise have been paid by the Defaulting Lender if its Commitment had been included in determining the Rateable Portions of such affected Loans.

(5) If any Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, then, upon becoming aware of the same, the Agent shall notify the other Lenders and (in accordance with the written direction of the Agent) such Lender (which has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender) shall purchase, and the other Lenders shall on a rateable basis sell and assign to such Lender, portions of such Loans equal in total to such Lender's Rateable Portion thereof without regard to Section 16.2(4).

16.5	Benefit of the Agreement

This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

16.6	Assignment

(1) Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of each of the Borrower, the Fronting Lender and the Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign an interest in its Commitment, its Rateable Portion of the Loans and its rights under the Documents; provided that: (a) such consent of the Borrower shall not be required during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (b) such consents shall not be required in the case of assignments to another Lender or by a Lender to an Affiliate thereof; (c) except during the continuance of an Event of Default or except with the consent of the Borrower, the Fronting Lender and the Agent, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld, no Lender shall assign an interest in its Commitment if the effect of the same would be to have a Lender with a Commitment of less than Cdn.$10,000,000; and (d) except in the case of an assignment by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.22(1)(c)(iv), it shall be a precondition to any such assignment that the contemplated assignee Lender shall have paid to the Agent, for the Agent's own account, a transfer fee of Cdn.$3,500.00. Subject to Section 7.8(3) and except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate thereof (in which case the assigning Lender shall remain liable for the obligations so assigned), upon any such assignment, the assigning Lender shall have no further obligation hereunder with respect to such interest. Upon any such assignment, the assigning Xxxxxx, the assignee Lender, the Fronting Lender, the Agent and, if applicable, the Borrower shall execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement. Except as permitted by Section 10.2(j), the Borrower shall not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.

131

(2) Any Lender may at any time grant a Security Interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any Security Interest to secure obligations to a U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall apply to any such grant of a Security Interest and Section 16.6(1) to any realization by any such secured party of any such Security Interest; provided, that no such grant of a Security Interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any holder of such Security Interest for such Lender as a party hereto.

(3) The Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 16.3 a copy of each executed Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Fronting Lender, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to the Loans of such Lender) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent.

16.7	Participations

Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, grant one or more participations in its Commitment and its Rateable Portion of any one or more of the Loans to other persons, provided that the granting of such a participation: (a) shall be at the Lender's own cost; (b) shall not affect the obligations of such Lender hereunder nor shall it increase the costs to the Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and (c) shall not provide the participant with any right to approve the provision by the Lender of any consent, waiver or approval hereunder or require the Borrower to deal directly with such participant. No such participant shall by virtue of such participations be party to this Agreement. The Borrower also agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.5 and Section 13.3 with respect to its interest in the Commitment and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such participant were such Lender; provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any amount which the transferor Lender would not have been entitled to receive in such circumstances nor any greater amount pursuant to either such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of such amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such participant had no such transfer occurred. For the purposes of this Section 16.7, each Lender from which a participant purchased the related participation shall act as agent on behalf of such participant to the extent required so that such participant shall receive the benefit of this Section 16.7.

16.8	Severability

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

132

16.9	Whole Agreement
