The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Prime Rate, Term XXXXX, Daily Compounded XXXXX, Adjusted Daily Compounded XXXXX or Adjusted Term XXXXX, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any XXXXX Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any XXXXX Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Prime Rate, Term XXXXX, Daily Compounded XXXXX, Adjusted Daily Compounded XXXXX, Adjusted Term XXXXX or any other XXXXX Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any XXXXX Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Prime Rate, Term XXXXX, Daily Compounded XXXXX, Adjusted Term XXXXX, Adjusted Daily Compounded XXXXX or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any XXXXX Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Prime Rate, Term XXXXX, Daily Compounded XXXXX, Adjusted Daily Compounded XXXXX, Adjusted Term XXXXX or any other XXXXX Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Bank or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Section 2 Accommodations and Commitments.

2.1 Availability.

(a) Each Tranche A Bank severally agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to make Accommodations to the Borrower on any Business Day prior to the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date. The Tranche A Accommodations Outstanding to each Tranche A Bank at any one time shall not exceed the amount of such Tranche A Bank’s Tranche A Commitment as then in effect. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during such period, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the aggregate amount of the Tranche A Commitments and no payment of Tranche A Accommodations Outstanding shall reduce the Tranche A Commitments; provided, that the aggregate amount of Tranche A Accommodations Outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Tranche A Commitments at such time. Accommodations shall be made available by Tranche A Banks as Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(a).

(b) Each Tranche B Bank severally agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to make Accommodations to the Borrower on any Business Day prior to the Tranche B Commitment Termination Date. The Tranche B Accommodations Outstanding to each Tranche B Bank at any one time shall not exceed the amount of such Tranche B Bank’s Tranche B Commitment as then in effect. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during such period, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the aggregate amount of the Tranche B Commitments and no payment of Tranche B Accommodations Outstanding shall reduce the Tranche B Commitments; provided, that the aggregate amount of Tranche B Accommodations Outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Tranche B Commitments at such time. Accommodations shall be made available by Tranche B Banks as Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b).

- 20 -

(c) The Borrower agrees that, except (x) to the extent the Tranche A Commitments have been terminated in accordance with this Agreement or (y) to the extent of the unfunded portion of the Tranche A Commitment of a Defaulting Bank that has failed to fund any portions of its Accommodations required to be funded hereunder in respect of its Tranche A Commitment: (i) the Tranche A Commitments shall be fully drawn at all times that there are any Tranche B Accommodations Outstanding and (ii) the Borrower shall not be entitled to any Tranche B Loans, and no Tranche B Loans may be outstanding, at any time that any amount of any Tranche A Commitment is unused. Nothing in this Section 2.1(c) shall restrict the Borrower’s right to request pursuant to Section 2.9(a) that the Commitments be increased (notwithstanding that there are Tranche B Accommodations Outstanding at the time of such request); provided that, immediately following any increase in the Tranche A Commitments, the Borrower prepays Tranche B Accommodations Outstanding with the proceeds of new Accommodations under the increased Tranche A Commitments such that the requirements of this Section 2.1(c) are satisfied.

2.2 Changes of Commitments.

The aggregate amount of the Tranche A Commitments shall be automatically reduced to zero on the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date, and the aggregate amount of the Tranche B Commitments shall be automatically reduced to zero on the Tranche B Commitment Termination Date. In addition, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the Tranche A Commitments or the Tranche B Commitments at any time or from time to time; provided, that (a) the Borrower shall give notice of each such termination or reduction to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 5.6; (b) each partial reduction of a Class of Commitments shall be in the amounts provided in Section 5.5; and (c) at no time shall the total amount of the Commitments of either Class be less than the aggregate amount of Accommodations Outstanding for such Class. Commitments terminated or reduced may not be reinstated.

2.3 Loans.

(a) Making of Tranche A Loans.(b) Each Tranche A Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make Tranche A Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day prior to the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date. Each Borrowing of Tranche A Loans under this Agreement shall be made to the Borrower on the same day rateably by the Tranche A Banks and shall be in the aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 or a larger whole multiple of $1,000,000.

(b) Making of Tranche B Loans.(c) Each Tranche B Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make Tranche B Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day prior to the Tranche B Commitment Termination Date. Each Borrowing of Tranche B Loans under this Agreement shall be made to the Borrower on the same day rateably by the Tranche B Banks and shall be in the aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 or a larger whole multiple of $1,000,000.

(c) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made on the number of days prior notice specified in Section 5.6, given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

- 21 -

(d) Provisions related to Drawings. For greater certainty, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless the Borrower separately delivers a conversion notice to the Administrative Agent requesting a conversion to Term XXXXX Loans and/or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loans, any Accommodation outstanding on the 2024 Effective Date as Drawings (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Agreement) with a maturity date ending after the 2024 Effective Date, shall remain outstanding as such until the conclusion of such applicable maturity date and the provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement applicable thereto shall continue and remain in effect solely with respect to those outstanding Drawings, at which point such Drawings shall be converted to Term XXXXX Loans and/or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loans, as applicable, as specified in the applicable conversion notice submitted by the Borrower, with no other further action required from any of the parties hereto.

2.4 [Reserved].

2.5 Several Obligations.

The failure of any Bank to make any Accommodation to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation to make its Accommodation on such date, and no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make an Accommodation to be made by such other Bank.

2.6 Evidence of Indebtedness.

The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from the Accommodations made to the Borrower by each Bank shall be evidenced by the books and records of the Administrative Agent which shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of such Accommodations Outstanding, absent manifest error.

2.7 Undrawn Fee.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche A Bank (other than any Defaulting Bank) an undrawn fee (the “Tranche A Undrawn Fee”), for each day up to but excluding the earlier of the date such Bank’s Tranche A Commitment is terminated and the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date, on the daily average amount of such Bank’s Tranche A Commitment which is unused, equal to the corresponding Applicable Margin.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche B Bank (other than any Defaulting Bank) an undrawn fee (the “Tranche B Undrawn Fee” and, together with the Tranche A Undrawn Fee, the “Undrawn Fees”), for each day up to but excluding the earlier of the date such Bank’s Tranche B Commitment is terminated and the Tranche B Commitment Termination Date, on the daily average amount of such Bank’s Tranche B Commitment which is unused, equal to the corresponding Applicable Margin.

Accrued Undrawn Fees shall be payable (i) on the Quarterly Dates, (ii) in the case of Tranche A Undrawn Fees, on the earlier of the date the Tranche A Commitments are terminated and the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date, and (iii) in the case of Tranche B Undrawn Fees, on the earlier of the date the Tranche B Commitments are terminated and the Tranche B Commitment Termination Date.

- 22 -

2.8 [Reserved].

2.9 Increase in Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit “D”, request that the Tranche A Commitments and the Tranche B Commitments be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed $400,000,000; provided that the Borrower may not make more than 3 such requests and each request shall be to increase both Classes of Commitments by an equal amount. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested aggregate increase (which shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000,000 and in minimum aggregate increments of $5,000,000 above that amount, in each case, divided equally between the two Classes), and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be on or prior to the then applicable Commitment Termination Dates). Upon the receipt of such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall give notice promptly to each Bank substantially in the form of Exhibit “E”, which notice will offer each such Bank the opportunity to increase its Commitment of each Class by its applicable Pro Rata Share of the proposed increased amount for such Class. Each such Bank shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit “F”, given not more than 10 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Commitments by all or a portion (provided such portion is divided equally between the Classes) of the offered amount (each Bank so agreeing being an “Increasing Bank”) or decline to increase such Commitments (and any Bank that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase such Commitments) (each Bank so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Bank”). For greater certainty, a Bank may only agree to increase both of its Commitments or decline to increase both of its Commitments. In the event that, on the 10th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the third sentence of this paragraph, the Increasing Banks shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase requested by the Borrower, the Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Bank”), which may include any Bank, to extend Commitments or increase their existing Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided, however, that each Augmenting Bank shall extend or increase Commitments of each Class by an equal amount, each Augmenting Bank that is not an existing Bank shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrower and each Augmenting Bank that is not an existing Bank shall execute such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Augmenting Bank’s Commitment and/or its status as a Bank hereunder. Any such increase may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if the Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Banks. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall execute an amendment to Exhibit “H” evidencing the revised Commitments.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any increase pursuant to this Section 2.9, the Accommodations Outstanding of each Class (if any) are held by the Banks in accordance with their new applicable Pro Rata Shares. This may be accomplished at the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Borrower, (i) by requiring the Accommodations Outstanding of a Class to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Accommodation, (ii) by causing Non-Increasing Banks to assign portions of their Accommodations Outstanding of a Class to Increasing Banks and/or Augmenting Banks, for a consideration that is not less than all principal and interest and fees accrued as to such Accommodations up to the effective date of such assignment or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this clause (b) shall be subject to Section 6.3, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

- 23 -

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.9 unless (i) on the date of such increase, (A) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or will result from the increase in such Commitments as set forth herein and (B) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in Section 8 shall be true and correct on and as of the date of the increase in the Commitments with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date), (ii) the Borrower Debt Ratings assigned by S&P, Moody’s and DBRS to the Index Debt shall be equal to or better than their respective ratings of such Borrower’s Index Debt in effect as of the 2024 Effective Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of the Commitment increase or Accommodations, as the case may be), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a compliance certificate certifying and showing (in reasonable detail and with appropriate calculations and computations in all respects reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) that (A) each of the conditions set forth in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) have been satisfied and (B) on a historical pro forma basis (after giving effect to the incurrence of the applicable Commitment increase or Accommodations, as the case may be) as of the last day of the most recently completed Six Month Period with respect to which, pursuant to Section 9.1, financial statements have been, or are required to have been, delivered by the Borrower, the Borrower would be in compliance with Section 9.10 as of the last day of such Six Month Period, (iv) in the event that a proposed increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.9 would result in the aggregate amount of the increases in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.9 exceeding $375,000,000, the Administrative Agent shall have received a written confirmation from HMC that, upon and after the increase in the applicable Commitments, all Accommodations Outstanding and all interest hereunder will constitute “Debt” as such term is used in the HMC Support Agreement together with the certifications provided by the Borrower pursuant to Section 7.3(d) and (v) the Administrative Agent shall have received all fees to be mutually agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9, if, at the time that a request is made pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) or prior to the time such request is given effect, a Class of Commitments has been terminated or a Commitment Termination Date has occurred with respect to a Class, such request shall apply with respect to the remaining Class of Commitments and this Section 2.9 shall apply mutatis mutandis to such request and any such increase.

2.10 [Reserved].

2.11 Extension of Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may, by notice once a year to the Administrative Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit “J” hereto, request that the then existing Commitment Termination Date of a Class (as applicable, the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”) be extended to a date which is one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date of such Class (as applicable, the “New Commitment Termination Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly, but in any event within three (3) Business Days, advise each Bank of the applicable Class (the “Extension Class Banks”) of such request. Each Extension Class Bank shall consider such request and may elect to extend or not to extend in its sole and independent discretion and may, at its option, conduct a full credit evaluation of the Borrower in considering such request. If the Borrower requests that both Commitment Termination Dates be extended, each Extension Class Bank shall agree to either extend

- 24 -

both of its Commitments or decline to extend both of its Commitments. Each Extension Class Bank agreeing to any such extension (each an “Extending Class Bank”) shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof (which shall notify the Borrower) on or prior to the date which is 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent has advised the Extension Class Banks of such request to extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date of the applicable Class (or if such 30th day is not a Business Day, then such notice may also be given on the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Consent Date”). Each Extension Class Bank that determines not to extend such Existing Commitment Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Bank”) shall notify the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Borrower) of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Consent Date). Any Extension Class Bank that does not advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Consent Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Bank

(b) The Borrower shall have the right at any time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) to replace each Non-Extending Bank with one or more other lenders (each for purposes of this Section 2.11, a “Replacement Bank”), each of which Replacement Banks shall have entered into either a Transfer Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit “C” hereto or an agreement otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Replacement Bank shall undertake all or any portion of the Commitments of one or both Classes of one or more Non-Extending Banks (if any such Replacement Bank is a Bank, its Commitments shall be in addition to such Bank’s Commitments hereunder on such date). For greater certainty, if the Borrower requests that a Commitment Termination Date be extended and a Bank declines to extend its applicable Commitment, the Borrower may replace such Bank pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.11(b) with respect to the applicable Commitment as well as its other Commitments, if any. If the Borrower replaces a Non-Extending Bank with respect to both of its Classes of Commitments, the Replacement Bank shall undertake a ratable portion (or all) of the Commitments for both Classes of such Non-Extending Bank.

(c) If Extension Class Banks holding Commitments of the applicable Class (not including the Commitments of such Class of the Replacement Banks) that aggregate more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments of such Class (not including the Commitments of such Class of the Replacement Banks) shall, by the Consent Date, have agreed to extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date, then, effective as of the Existing Commitment Termination Date, such Existing Commitment Termination Date shall be extended as to the Extending Class Banks and any Replacement Bank only to the date so requested by the Borrower (provided, if such date is not a Business Day, then such Commitment Termination Date as so extended shall be the immediately preceding Business Day), the Commitment Termination Date of the applicable Class shall be the New Commitment Termination Date as to the Extending Class Banks and any Replacement Bank only and each Replacement Bank shall thereupon become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall execute an amendment to Exhibit “H” evidencing the revised Commitments.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date shall not be effective with respect to any Extension Class Bank unless:

(i) Banks holding Commitments of the applicable Class (not including the Commitments of the Replacement Banks) that aggregate more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments of such Class (not including the Commitments of such Class of the Replacement Banks) shall, by the Consent Date, have agreed to extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date then in effect;

- 25 -

(ii) the Administrative Agent has received the agreement to the extension, in writing, of the Borrower, the Replacement Banks and the Extension Class Banks (other than the Non-Extending Banks) (which may consist of the Borrower’s request for the extension in substantially the form of Exhibit “J”, the consent of each extending Extension Class Bank to the extension and the Transfer Supplement or other document executed by each Replacement Bank, if any, pursuant to Section 2.11(b)); and

(iii) the Administrative Agent has received an Officer’s Certificate, dated no later than the Consent Date, to the effect that since the date of the most recent audited financial statements furnished to the Banks pursuant to Section 9.1 prior to the Consent Date, there has occurred no material adverse change in the business, operations, business prospects or financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; as of the date of said certificate, no Default has occurred or is continuing or will result from extending the Commitment Termination Date of the applicable Class; and, as of the date of said certificate, the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in Section 8 (excluding Section 8.4(b)) are true and correct with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date). Upon fulfillment of all conditions for extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date of a Class, the Administrative Agent shall issue a letter to the Borrower stating that all conditions precedent to the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date of such Class have been fulfilled and setting forth the New Commitment Termination Date of such Class.

(e) If the Existing Commitment Termination Date of a Class is not extended as aforesaid, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further extensions of the Existing Commitment Termination Date of such Class. If the Existing Commitment Termination Date of a Class is not extended with respect to a particular Non-Extending Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(a), then the existing Commitment of the applicable Class of a Non-Extending Bank shall continue until the Existing Commitment Termination Date (which shall be the Commitment Termination Date for the applicable Class for such Bank with respect to the Accommodations Outstanding of such Class together with all accrued interest and Fees and other amounts owing to such Bank with respect to such Class), at which time the aggregate Commitments of such Class of the Banks hereunder shall be reduced by the Commitment of such Class of each such Non-Extending Bank, unless a Replacement Bank agrees to undertake the entire Commitment of such Class of the Non-Extending Bank (or, if a Replacement Bank undertakes only a portion of such Commitment, the aggregate Commitments shall be reduced by the portion not so undertaken by the Replacement Bank), as provided in Section 2.11(b) pursuant to either a Transfer Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit “C” hereto or an agreement otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence of a Commitment Termination Date of a Class with respect to a Non-Extending Bank, the Accommodations Outstanding of such Class together with all accrued interest and Fees and other amounts owing, in each case, to such Bank with respect to such Class shall be paid by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.1, unless a Replacement Bank has agreed to undertake the entire Commitment of such Class of the Non-Extending Bank (or, if a Replacement Bank has agreed to undertake only a portion of such Commitment, the portion of the Accommodations Outstanding of such Class together with all accrued interest and Fees and other amounts owing to such Bank with respect to such Class not undertaken by the Replacement Bank shall be paid by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.1).

- 26 -

2.12 Defaulting Banks

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(a) Undrawn Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitments of such Defaulting Bank;

(b) such Defaulting Bank shall have no voting or consent rights with respect to matters under the Credit Documents solely except to the extent any proposed amendment or waiver (i) increases or decreases the Commitment of any Bank (except for a rateable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks and except pursuant to Section 13.5(c)), (ii) forgives or reduces the principal of or rate of interest on any Accommodation or any fees hereunder (other than Undrawn Fees), (iii) postpones the date fixed for any payment of any Accommodations Outstanding or interest on any Accommodation or any fees hereunder (other than Undrawn Fees) or for any termination of any Commitment, (iv) changes the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid amount of the Accommodations Outstanding, or the number of Banks which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under Section 13.4 or any other provision of this Agreement, (v) amends the definition of “Required Banks” or “Required Class Banks”, (vi) amends, modifies or waives any provision of Section 13.4, (vii) extends a Commitment Termination Date, (viii) amends or waives any provisions in Section 5.2 or 5.8, or (ix) consents to any release or termination of the HMC Support Agreement. Accordingly, subject to the previous sentence, the Commitments and Accommodations Outstanding of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether all Banks, the Required Banks or the Required Class Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 13.4);

(c) to the extent permitted by law, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold and deposit in one or more non-interest bearing accounts in the name of the Administrative Agent any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise), which payments shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent in such capacity hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Accommodation in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; and third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Bank to fund future Accommodations under this Agreement; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Accommodations in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the applicable Accommodations Outstanding of the same Class owed to all non-Defaulting Banks of such Class on a rateable basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Accommodations Outstanding to any Defaulting Bank until such time as all Accommodations of such Class are held by the Banks of such Class rateably in accordance with such Banks’ Commitments of such Class. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents thereto;

- 27 -

(d) for greater certainty, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, managers, administrators, trustees, agents, advisors and representatives shall be liable to any Bank (including a Defaulting Bank) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with amounts received and deposited by the Administrative Agent in any account pursuant to this Section 2.12 and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, save and except for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(e) in the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Accommodations Outstanding of each Class of the other Banks of the applicable Class as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Accommodations Outstanding of all Classes in accordance with its rateable share whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank. No adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while the Bank was a Defaulting Bank. Except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

2.13 XXXXX Benchmark Replacement Setting

(a) Benchmark Replacement Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document (and any interest rate swap agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Credit Document” for the purposes of this Section 2.13), if a XXXXX Benchmark Transition Event and its related XXXXX Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current XXXXX Benchmark, then (x) if a XXXXX Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “XXXXX Benchmark Replacement” for such XXXXX Benchmark Replacement Date, such XXXXX Benchmark Replacement will replace such XXXXX Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of such XXXXX Benchmark setting and subsequent XXXXX Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (y) if a XXXXX Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “XXXXX Benchmark Replacement” for such XXXXX Benchmark Replacement Date, such XXXXX Benchmark Replacement will replace such XXXXX Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such XXXXX Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Banks without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such XXXXX Benchmark Replacement from Banks comprising the Required Banks. If the XXXXX Benchmark Replacement is Adjusted Daily Compounded XXXXX, all interest payments will be payable on the last day of each XXXXX Interest Period.

(b) XXXXX Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a XXXXX Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make XXXXX Conforming Changes from time to time in consultation with the Borrower and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such XXXXX Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

- 28 -

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of (i) the implementation of any XXXXX Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any XXXXX Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a XXXXX Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a XXXXX Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.13(d) and (y) the commencement of any XXXXX Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Bank (or group of Banks) pursuant to this Section 2.13 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.13.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a XXXXX Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current XXXXX Benchmark is a term rate (including Term XXXXX) and either (A) any tenor for such XXXXX Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such XXXXX Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such XXXXX Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “XXXXX Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any XXXXX Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a XXXXX Benchmark (including a XXXXX Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a XXXXX Benchmark (including a XXXXX Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “XXXXX Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all XXXXX Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

2.14 Inability to Determine XXXXX Rates

(a) Subject to Section 2.13, if, on or prior to the first day of any XXXXX Interest Period for any Term XXXXX Loan or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loan, as applicable:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term XXXXX” or “Adjusted Daily Compounded XXXXX”, as applicable, cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, for reasons other than a XXXXX Benchmark Transition Event, or

- 29 -

(ii) the Required Banks determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term XXXXX Loan or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loan, as applicable, or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term XXXXX or Daily Compounded XXXXX, as applicable, for any requested XXXXX Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term XXXXX Loan or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loan, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Banks have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent;

the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Bank.

(b) Upon delivery of such notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower under Section 2.14(a) any obligation of the Banks to make Term XXXXX Loans or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loans, as applicable, and any right of the Borrower to continue Term XXXXX Loans or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loans, as applicable, or to convert Prime Rate Loans to Term XXXXX Loans or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term XXXXX Loans or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loans, as applicable, or affected XXXXX Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to Section 2.14(a)(ii) above, at the instruction of the Banks) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower under Section 2.14(a), (i)(x) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term XXXXX Loans or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loans, as applicable, (to the extent of the affected Term XXXXX Loans or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loans, as applicable, or affected XXXXX Interest Periods); (y) in respect of Term XXXXX Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to Daily Compounded XXXXX Loans, and vice versa; or, failing such revocation or election, (z) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to Prime Rate Loans, in the amount specified therein.

- 31 -

or into which such Accommodation is being converted; and references to notices of borrowing or to Borrowings in Sections 5.5 and 5.6 shall include, respectively, notices of continuation or conversion.

The Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment hereunder, specify to the Administrative Agent the Class and Type of Accommodations or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply such payment in the manner determined by the Required Banks, but subject to Section 5.2). Each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Bank shall be paid promptly to such Bank, in immediately available funds, for the account of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office for the Accommodation in respect of which such payment is made. If the due date of any payment hereunder would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.

5.2 Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each Borrowing under Section 2.3 shall be made by the applicable Banks, each payment of Undrawn Fees under Section 2.7 shall be made for the account of the applicable Banks, and each reduction of the Commitments under Section 2.2 shall be applied to the applicable Commitments of the applicable Banks, in each case, according to their respective Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class, (b) [Reserved], and (c) each payment of Accommodations Outstanding by the Borrower of a particular Class and Type of Accommodation shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks holding such Class and Type of Accommodations pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid amount of such Class and Type of Accommodation Outstanding held by such Banks.

5.4 Interest Act (Canada).

For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 365 days, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (A) the applicable rate based on a year of 365 days, (B) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (C) divided by 365, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

	Minimum Amount		Multiples of
Reduction of Commitments of a Class	$	5,000,000	$	1,000,000
Borrowing of Loans of a Class	$	5,000,000	$	1,000,000
Repayment of Loans of a Class	$	5,000,000	$	1,000,000

Borrowings of Loans of either Class may be in any amount if such borrowing exhausts the full remaining amount of the Commitments of such Class.

5.6 Certain Notices.

Notices by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of terminations or reductions of Commitments, notices of Borrowings and repayments of Loans shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 10:00 a.m. Toronto time, in the case of a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans up to 30% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments; (ii) not later than 2:00 p.m. Toronto time, in the case of a Borrowing of (x) Prime Rate Loans exceeding 30% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments or, (y) XXXXX Loans; and (iii) not later than 10:00 a.m. Toronto time, in the case of a termination or reduction of a Commitment, or a repayment of Loans on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the relevant termination, reduction, Borrowing or repayment, specified below:

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of the contents of each such notice.

5.7 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or the Borrower (each, a “Payor”) prior to the time at which such Bank is to make any payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of an Accommodation to be made by it hereunder or the Borrower is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that such Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient (whether a Bank or the Borrower) of such payment made by the Administrative Agent shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent to such recipient until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation for such day. If such recipient fails promptly to repay the Administrative Agent the amount received by it, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover (without duplication) such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid, provided that if neither the recipient nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:

(i) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by the Borrower to the Banks, the Borrower and the recipient shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Post-Default Rate (and, in case the recipient shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, without limiting the obligation of the Borrower under Section 4.2 hereof to pay interest to such recipient at the Post-Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment); and

- 34 -

(ii) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of an Accommodation to be made by the Banks to the Borrower, the Payor and the Borrower shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the rate of interest provided for such Required Payment pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof (and, in case the Borrower shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, without limiting any claim the Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of the Required Payment).

5.8 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If any Bank shall effect payment, in cash or otherwise, of any Undrawn Fees or any Accommodations Outstanding of a Class, accrued interest thereon or other obligations of a Class under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar right, and such Bank shall have received a greater percentage, in cash or otherwise, of the Undrawn Fees, any Accommodations Outstanding of such Class, accrued interest thereon or other obligations of such Class then due hereunder to such Bank than the percentage received by any other applicable Bank of such Class, it shall promptly purchase from the other applicable Banks participations in the Accommodations Outstanding of such Class made by such other Banks in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the applicable Banks shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in accordance with the applicable unpaid Undrawn Fees, Accommodations Outstanding of such Class and accrued interest thereon and other obligations of such Class held by each of them. To such end all the applicable Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation in the Accommodations Outstanding of a Class made by the other Banks under this Section 5.8 may to the extent permitted by applicable law exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of such Accommodations Outstanding in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

5.9 Pro Rata Treatment

If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

Section 6 Yield Protection and Illegality.

6.1 Additional Costs.

(a) If, due to any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Accommodation (other than Non-Excluded Taxes which shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.5), then the Borrower with respect to its Accommodations shall from time to time, within thirty (30) days of a demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay directly to such Bank additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Bank for such increased cost (“Additional Costs”). Each Bank will notify the Borrower of any event which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof (provided that failure or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Bank for such Additional Costs if such Bank obtained knowledge of such Additional Costs more than 180 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Borrower of such Additional Costs; provided, further, that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such Additional Costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), and will, use its reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Bank affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole discretion of such Bank, be disadvantageous to the Bank or contrary to its policies. Each Bank will furnish the Borrower with a certificate (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank for compensation under this Section 6.1(a). If any Bank requests compensation from the Borrower under this Section 6.1(a), the Borrower may, by notice to such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Bank to make additional Loans of the type with respect to which such compensation is requested until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect.

(b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Bank either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Bank or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Bank so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Bank to make Accommodations of such type hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect.

(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1 (but without duplication), the Borrower shall pay directly to each Bank from time to time within thirty (30) days of any request such amounts as such Bank may determine after the date hereof to be necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs which it determines are attributable to the maintenance by it or any of its affiliates pursuant to any Regulatory Change of capital in respect of its Loans hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction in return on assets or equity of such Bank to a level below that which it could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change). Each Bank will notify the Borrower if it is entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) as promptly as practicable; provided, that failure or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Bank for such costs if such Bank obtained knowledge of such costs more than 180 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Borrower of such costs; provided, further, that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Each Bank will furnish the Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank for compensation under this Section 6.1(c).

(d) Determinations and allocations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 6.1 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to Sections 6.1(a) or 6.1(b), or the effect of capital maintained pursuant to Section 6.1(c), on its costs of making or maintaining Accommodations or on amounts received or receivable by it in respect of Accommodations, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis.

- 36 -

6.2 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to (a) honor its obligation to make any Accommodations hereunder, or (b) maintain any Accommodations hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Bank’s obligation to make such Accommodation shall be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make and maintain such Accommodations, and such Bank shall no longer be obligated to make any such Accommodation that it has offered to make. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall promptly, upon demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert any such Accommodations into another Type of Accommodation in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

6.3 Compensation.

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term XXXXX Loan or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loan, as applicable, prior to the last day of a XXXXX Interest Period (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term XXXXX Loan or Daily Compounded XXXXX Loan, as applicable, other than on the last day of the XXXXX Interest Period, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Accommodation on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by any Bank affected by any such event (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Bank for the losses, costs and expenses attributable to such event. A certificate of any Bank setting forth any amount or amounts that such Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt of such demand.

6.4 Replacement Banks.

So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, at any time, replace any Bank that has requested compensation from the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.5 hereof or any Bank that becomes and is a Defaulting Bank (any such Bank being herein called an “Affected Bank”) by giving not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify such Affected Bank and each other Bank) that it intends to replace such Affected Bank with one or more other lenders (including any Bank) selected by the Borrower and acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall not unreasonably withhold its consent). The method (whether by assignment or otherwise) of and documentation for such replacement shall be either a Transfer Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit “C” or otherwise acceptable to the Affected Bank and the Administrative Agent (which shall not unreasonably withhold their consent and shall cooperate with the Borrower in effecting such replacement). Upon the effective date of any replacement under this Section 6.4 (and as a condition thereto), the Borrower shall, or shall cause the replacement lender(s) to, pay to the Affected Bank being replaced any amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including, without limitation, interest, Undrawn Fees, compensation and additional amounts under this Section 6, in each case accrued to the effective date of such replacement subject to, in the case of a Defaulting Bank, Section 2.12), whereupon each replacement lender shall become a

- 37 -

“Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement having Commitments in the amount of such Affected Bank’s Commitments assumed by it, and such Commitments of the Affected Bank being replaced shall be terminated upon such effective date and all of such Affected Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate (provided that the obligations of the Borrower under Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.5 and 13.3 hereof to such Affected Bank shall survive such replacement as provided in Section 13.6). For greater certainty, any replacement of a Bank (whether a Defaulting Bank or otherwise) pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be in compliance with and subject to the terms and provisions in Section 13.5(c).

6.5 Taxes

(a) All payments (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursements or otherwise) by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any present or future tax, levy, impost, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments or any other similar charge and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto, if any, now or hereafter imposed by the government of Canada or the United States or any other Governmental Authority thereof or taxing authority thereof other than income, capital, franchise or branch profit taxes imposed on (or measured by) net income, net earnings or capital by any such tax authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts and other similar amounts, “Non-Excluded Taxes”). In the event that any Non-Excluded Taxes are required by law to be deducted or withheld from any payments by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make any such deduction required to be made by it under applicable law and timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on the date of each such payment, such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by Administrative Agent and the Banks after such deduction or withholding (including deductions, withholdings and payments applicable to any additional sums payable under this Section 6.5) shall equal the amounts which would have been received if such deduction or withholding were not required; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such additional amounts under this Section 6.5 to the extent the Non-Excluded Taxes are withholding taxes imposed under the ITA on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or a Bank at the time the Administrative Agent or such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that (a) the Administrative Agent or such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement during the continuance of any Event of Default; or (b) the Administrative Agent’s or such Bank’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section 6.5. The Borrower shall confirm that all applicable Non-Excluded Taxes, if any, imposed on this Agreement or transactions hereunder shall have been properly and legally paid by it to the appropriate taxing authorities by sending official tax receipts or notarized copies of such receipts to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after payment of any applicable Non-Excluded Taxes.

(b) [Intentionally deleted]

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent on an after-tax basis for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on or with respect to amounts payable under this Agreement, paid by such Bank or Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom. Payment of this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or Administrative Agent makes a written demand therefor. Such written demand shall include a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the type and amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes. Any such certificate submitted in good faith by such Bank or Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.

- 38 -

(d) If any Bank determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized any refund of tax, any reduction of, or credit against, its tax liabilities or otherwise recovered any amount in connection with any deduction or withholding, or payment of any additional amount, by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.5 or Section 13.3, such Bank shall reimburse the Borrower an amount that the Bank shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, and net of all expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with such refund which was actually obtained by the Bank as a consequence of such refund, reduction, credit or recovery; provided, that nothing in this clause (d) shall require any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be confidential). The Borrower shall return such amount to the Bank in the event that the Bank is required to repay such refund of tax or is not entitled to such reduction of, or credit against, its tax liabilities.

Section 12 The Agents.

12.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities.

Each Bank hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for any Bank. No other Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Agent shall be responsible to the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of any Person (other than the Administrative Agent or any Agent) contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by the Borrower to perform any of its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact but shall not be answerable, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact who are not its own employees and who are selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.2 Reliance by Agents.

The Administrative Agent and each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, or telecopier) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or any of the Agents. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and such instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.

- 53 -

12.3 Defaults.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment of Accommodations Outstanding or interest on Accommodations Outstanding) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks (and shall give each Bank prompt notice of each such non-payment and the Borrower). The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 12.7) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Banks, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Banks; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such action which it determines to be contrary to law.

12.4 Rights as a Bank.

With respect to its Commitment and the Accommodations made by it, CIBC and each Bank which is also an Agent, in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as an Agent, and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include such Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and each of the other Agents and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower (and any of its Affiliates or its Subsidiaries) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent or Agent, and the Administrative Agent and each of the other Agents may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.

12.5 Indemnification.

The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 13.3, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under said Section 13.3), ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Accommodations made by the Banks (or, if there are no Accommodations Outstanding at the time, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any other Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 13.3 but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

- 54 -

12.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Banks.

Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (or any of their Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any other Agent or any of its affiliates.

12.7 Failure to Act.

Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it for reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

12.8 Resignation/Substitution of Administrative Agent.

(a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld), which shall be a bank having capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 and organized under the laws of any country (or any political subdivision thereof) that is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Administrative Agent.

(b) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Borrower may substitute the Administrative Agent at any time, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Banks and the Administrative Agent, notifying them of the substitution and

- 55 -

nominating a proposed successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Bank having capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 and organized under the laws of any country (or any political subdivision thereof) that is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (any such Bank, a “Qualified Successor”). Upon the consent of the Required Bankx xx the appointment of such nominee and acceptance by such nominee of its appointment (or, if later, the thirtieth day after the Borrower’s delivery of such notice), such nominee shall become the successor Administrative Agent. If no Qualified Successor shall have been so nominated by the Borrower (or, if any prior nominee is not so consented to by the Required Banks, nominated by the Borrower after its giving of notice of substitution) and consented to by the Required Banks and shall have accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent within 30 days after the Borrower’s giving of notice of substitution, then the Borrower may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Qualified Successor (each Bank, by its becoming a Bank, hereby authorizing the Borrower to take such action on its behalf); provided, however, that if the Borrower, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, appoints a successor Administrative Agent without the consent of the Required Banks, then the Required Banks may, by giving notice within 45 days thereafter, replace such successor Administrative Agent with a new Administrative Agent that shall be a Qualified Successor upon 30 days notice to the Borrower and to the successor Administrative Agent appointed by the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the substituted Administrative Agent, and the substituted Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any substituted Administrative Agent’s substitution hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Administrative Agent.

12.9 Amendments Concerning Agency Function.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement which affects its duties hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior consent thereto.

12.10 Liability of Agent.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall have any liabilities or responsibilities to the Borrower on account of the failure of any Bank to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Bank on account of the failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder.

12.11 Transfer of Administrative Agency Function.

Without the consent of the Borrower or any Bank, the Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its affiliates or offices located in Canada, provided that the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks thereof.

12.12 Erroneous Payments by the Administrative Agent.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Bank under or pursuant to any of the Credit Documents (any such Bank or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were

- 56 -

erroneously or mistakenly transmitted or paid to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of (x) a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the overnight rate at which Canadian Dollars may be borrowed by the Administrative Agent in the interbank market in an amount comparable to such Erroneous Payment (as determined by the Administrative Agent) and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or prevailing market practice for interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 12.12 (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting Section 12.12(a), each Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Bank under or pursuant to any of the Credit Documents, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Bank, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, paid, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (A) in the case of clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent express written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.12(b).

(c) Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set-off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Bank from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under Section 12.12(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

- 57 -

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 12.12(a), from any Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Bank at any time, (i) such Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Accommodations Outstanding of the applicable Class (but not any of its Commitments with respect to such Class) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Facilities”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Accommodations Outstanding (but not any of its Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Facilities, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver a Transfer Supplement with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Bank shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Bank shall become a Bank hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Bank shall cease to be a Bank hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and any of its applicable Commitments, which shall survive as to such assigning Bank. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Accommodations Outstanding acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Accommodations Outstanding (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Class of any Bank and such Commitments under each Class shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold an Accommodation Outstanding (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Bank under the applicable Credit Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Accommodations Outstanding or other amounts owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from (i) the Borrower or any other Credit Party or (ii) the proceeds of realization from the enforcement of one or more of the Credit Documents against or in respect of one or more of the Credit Parties, in each case, for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value”, “good consideration” for the Erroneous Payment or change of position by such Payment Recipient, any defense that the intent of the Administrative Agent was that such Payment Recipient retain the Erroneous Payment in all events, or any doctrine or defense similar to any of the foregoing.

- 58 -

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, or any assignment or transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Accommodations Outstanding (or any portion thereof) and other amounts owing under any Credit Document.

(h) For purposes of this Section 12.12, each Bank:

(i) agrees it is executing and delivering this Agreement with respect to this Section 12.12 both on its own behalf and as agent for and on behalf of its Affiliates referred to in this Section 12.12 and any Person receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Credit Documents on behalf of such Bank or any of such Affiliates;

(ii) represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that its Affiliates referred to in this Section 12.12 and any Person receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Credit Documents on behalf of such Bank or any of such Affiliates are bound by the provisions of this Section 12.12; and

(iii) agrees that any matter or thing done or omitted to be done by such Bank, its Affiliates, or any Person receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Credit Documents on behalf of such Bank or any of such Affiliates which are the subject of this Section 12.12 will be binding upon such Bank and each Bank does hereby indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates harmless from any and all losses, expenses, claims, demands or other liabilities of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates resulting from the failure of such Bank, its Affiliates or such Persons to comply with their obligations under and in respect of this Section 12.12, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the limitations in Section 12.5.

Section 13 Miscellaneous.

13.1 Waiver.

No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Any provision of any Credit Document to which the Banks are a party may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks (subject to Section 2.12(b) with respect to Defaulting Banks), (i) increase or decrease any Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks and except pursuant to Section 13.5(c)) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) forgive or reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Accommodation or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of Accommodations Outstanding or interest on any Accommodation or any fees hereunder or for any termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid amount of the Accommodations Outstanding, or the number of Banks which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, (v) amend the definition of “Required Banks” or “Required Class Banks”, (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.4, (vii) extend a Commitment Termination Date, (viii) amend or waive any provisions in Section 5.2 or 5.8, (ix) consent to any release or termination of the HMC Support Agreement or (x) subordinate or postpone (or have the effect of subordinating or postponing) the repayment of the Accommodations Outstanding to any other Debt; provided further than any amendment or waiver of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties of one Class of Banks (but not of the other Class of Banks) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Class Banks of the applicable affected Class (subject to Section 2.12(b) with respect to Defaulting Banks).

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Banks, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Bank. No Bank may participate, assign or sell any of its Credit Exposure with respect to any Class (as defined in clause (b) below) except as required by operation of law, in connection with the mergers or consolidation of any Bank or as provided in this Section 13.5.

Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in any Accommodation Outstanding owing to such Bank, any Commitment of such Bank and any other interest of such Bank under the Credit Documents (in respect of any such Bank and the applicable Class, its “Credit Exposure”). Notwithstanding any such sale by a Bank of participating interests to a Participant, such Bank’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain unchanged, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Section than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participating interest transferred by such transferor Bank to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Each

- 61 -

Bank agrees that any agreement between such Bank and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Bank’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement or any Credit Document, except where the result of any of the foregoing would be to extend the maturity of any Loan or Commitment or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest and fees thereon or reduce the principal amount thereof.

(c) Assignments to Purchasing Banks. Any Bank may in the ordinary course of its business and in compliance with applicable law, and having given at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice to, and received the consent of, the Administrative Agent and (to the extent required under clause (ii) below) the Borrower, assign to one or more banks, other institutions, Affiliates or Approved Funds (“Purchasing Banks”) all or any part of its Credit Exposure with respect to any Class pursuant to a supplement to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit “C” hereto (a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by such Purchasing Bank and such transferor Bank; provided, that any assignment to any Person other than a Bank or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of the assignor of less than all of its Credit Exposure with respect to either Class shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and provided further that any assignment by a Bank hereunder shall be with respect to a rateable portion of such transferor Bank’s Credit Exposure with respect to both Classes to the extent such transferor Bank holds Credit Exposure with respect to both Classes. Upon (i) such execution of such Transfer Supplement, (ii) consent by the Administrative Agent thereto (which may not be unreasonably withheld) and consent by the Borrower thereto (which may not be unreasonably withheld), (it being acknowledged that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if (x) an Event of Default shall then be continuing, or (y) the Purchasing Bank is a Bank or an Affiliate of the assignor), (iii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (iv) payment by such Purchasing Bank to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Purchasing Bank, and (v) payment to the Administrative Agent of the assignment fee set forth in clause 4 of such Transfer Supplement, such transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Bank shall for all purposes be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Banks or the Agents shall be required; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank. Such Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement and Exhibit “H” to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Bank as a Bank and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments, if any, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Bank of all or a portion of the Credit Exposure of such transferor Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Defaulting Bank may be a Purchasing Bank while it is a Defaulting Bank hereunder.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable rateable share of Accommodations previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Banks hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full rateable share of all Accommodations of each Class. For greater certainty, all payments made by an assignee to an assignor that is a Defaulting Bank shall be net of amounts

- 62 -

payable pursuant to clause (x) above, and such amounts payable pursuant to such clause (x) above shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for distribution accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(d) Disclosure of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Bank to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Bank (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee, and their respective counsel (including outside counsel) and other advisors, any and all financial and other information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Borrower which has been delivered to such Bank by the Borrower pursuant to any Credit Document or which has been delivered to such Bank by the Borrower in connection with such Bank’s credit evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement; provided, that any other information relating to the Borrower, HMC or any Subsidiary which was delivered by any such Person to any Bank on a confidential basis and which is identified as confidential may not be disclosed to any Transferee which is not an Affiliate of the transferor Bank without the prior consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld). Each Bank agrees to, and agrees to cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers, directors, counsel (including outside counsel), accountants (including independent auditors) and any other advisors referred to in clause (i)(x) below to agree to (i) maintain the confidentiality of all such information delivered to it by the Borrower, HMC or any Subsidiary in accordance with its customary practices regarding such information on substantially the terms of the confidentiality obligations binding on such Bank under this paragraph (d), provided, that any Bank may disclose any information in its possession (x) to any of its Affiliates or its and their respective employees, officers, directors, counsel (including outside counsel), accountants (including independent auditors), and any other advisors on a need to know basis, (y) pursuant to any legal process or by applicable laws or regulations or any request by any Governmental Authority, supervisory, self-regulatory or regulatory agency having jurisdiction over such Bank or its Affiliates, or (z) as may be required to defend against or prosecute any claim in connection with this Agreement or any transaction hereunder, and (ii) not deliver any such information to a Transferee or prospective Transferee, or their respective counsel or other advisors, unless such Person agrees, in writing, to maintain such confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document, the parties (and each employee, representative, or other agent of the parties) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the tax structure of the transaction, provided, however, that no party (and no employee, representative, or other agent thereof) shall disclose any other information that is not relevant to understanding the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the identity of any party and any information that could lead another to determine the identity of any party), or any other information to the extent that such disclosure could result in a violation of any federal or state securities law. In addition, each Bank may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement routinely provided to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Banks in connection with the administration, settlement and management of this Agreement and the Accommodations.

13.6 Right of Set-off.

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Banks and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the

- 63 -

Borrower now or hereafter existing under any Credit Document to such Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Bank has made any demand under any Credit Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured, are owed to a branch or office of such Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness, or are owed to such Bank and not to the Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Bank or its Affiliate shall exercise any such right of set-off, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank or its Affiliate from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and (ii) the Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank or its Affiliate as to which it exercised such right of set-off. The rights of each of the Banks and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that the Banks or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Bank may notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. If any Affiliate of a Bank exercises any rights under this Section, it shall share the benefit received in accordance with Section 5.8 as if the benefit had been received by the Bank of which it is an Affiliate.

13.7 Survival.

The obligations of the Borrower with respect to Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.5 and 13.3 hereof shall survive the repayment of the Accommodations Outstanding and the termination of the Commitments.

13.8 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including Parts 2 and 3 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada), the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (Ontario) and other similar federal or provincial laws based on the Uniform Electronic Commerce Act of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada or its Uniform Electronic Evidence Act, as the case may be.

13.9 Severability; Headings Descriptive.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The headings of the several Sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

- 64 -

13.10 Domicile of Accommodations.

Each Bank may transfer and carry its Accommodations at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank.

13.11 Limitation of Liability.

No claim may be made by the Borrower or any other Person against any Agent or any Bank or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

13.12 Treatment of Certain Information.

The Borrower (a) acknowledges that services may be offered or provided to it (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by each Bank or by one or more of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates and (b) acknowledges that information delivered to each Bank by the Borrower may be provided to each such subsidiary and Affiliate.

13.13 Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a) If any provision of this Agreement would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Bank in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Bank of interest at a criminal rate (as construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding that provision, that amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or result in a receipt by that Bank of interest at a criminal rate, the adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows:

(i) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the affected Bank under this Section 13.13; and

(ii) thereafter, by reducing any Fees and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Bank which would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(b) Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 13.13 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Accommodation remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of interest (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Effective Date to the applicable Commitment Termination Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of that determination.

- 65 -

13.14 Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue.

Each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Province of Ontario for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement brought in any of the aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party, at its address for notices referred to in Section 13.2, such service to become effective 10 days after such mailing. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, or any Bank to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party hereto in any other jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND THE FEDERAL LAWS OF CANADA APPLICABLE THEREIN.

The Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Bank or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Bank or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the provisions of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of the Pub. L. 107-56) signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), the Administrative Agent and any Bank may be required to obtain, verify and record information and the Borrower hereby agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent and each Bank and provide them with all information that may be required in order to fulfil their obligations under the Patriot Act.

- 66 -
