NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
2. Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Upon the satisfaction of the condition precedent set forth in Section 5 below, each Lender and the Borrower hereby agree that the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

-1-
clauses (i)-(iii) above, to the ability to deliver such Control Agreements post-closing in accordance with Section 6.14(c) of the Credit Agreement and treating any such Control Agreements entered into prior to December 31, 2022 as having been delivered as of the Effective Date for all computations of Liquidity under the Credit Agreement.”
(b) Section 4.3.2(a) of the Credit Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with:
“(a) With respect to the Tranche Two Loans, (i) the Tranche One Loans shall have been funded, and (ii) receipt by Agents and the Lenders of evidence reasonably satisfactory in all respects to the Lenders of the Borrower’s generation in the most recent twelve calendar month period ending at least 30 days prior to the Funding Date of the Tranche Two Loans of at least $75,000,000 of Net Revenues.”
(c) Section 6.1.1 of the Credit Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with:
“Annual Reports. As soon as available and in any event within 90 days following the end of each Fiscal Year, beginning with the Fiscal Year ending November 30, 2022, (i) the consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such Fiscal Year and related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for such Fiscal Year, in comparative form with such financial statements as of the end of, and for, the preceding Fiscal Year, and notes thereto, all prepared in accordance with IFRS and accompanied by an opinion of KPMG LLP or other independent public accountants of recognized national standing (which opinion shall not be qualified as to scope or, other than the opinion of KPMG LLP relating to the consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year ended November 30, 2022, contain any explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the ability of Borrower and its Subsidiaries to continue as a going concern), stating that such financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods specified in accordance with IFRS, and (ii) a narrative report and management’s discussion and analysis of the results of operation of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year, as compared to amounts for the previous Fiscal Year.”

-2-
was the intent of the parties from inception of the Credit Agreement and that any failure to have Control Agreements in effect prior to the date hereof for any items that would otherwise satisfy the requirements of clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Qualified Cash (as amended above) should not be interpreted as a Default or an Event of Default. For greater clarity, the Lenders hereby waive any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement occurring as a result of the failure to have Control Agreements in effect prior to the date hereof for any items that would otherwise satisfy the requirements of clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Qualified Cash (as amended above).
4. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders as follows:
(a) After giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the Guarantors contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (other than any representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the date hereof (or as of a specific earlier date if such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date).
(b) After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing.
5. Condition to Effectiveness of Amendment. This Amendment shall become effective upon (a) the due execution and delivery of this Amendment by each of the Lenders and the Borrower, (b) the issuance by the Borrower to the Lenders of the Warrants, and (iii) the payment of all expenses of the Lenders incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, which have been invoiced to the Borrower prior to the date hereof.

7. No Implied Amendment or Waiver. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, this Amendment shall not, by implication or otherwise, limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect any rights or remedies of the Lenders or the Agent under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, obligations or covenants contained in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all of which shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing in this Amendment shall be construed to imply any willingness on the part of the Lenders or the Agent to agree to or grant any similar or future consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
