"Fair Share Contribution Amount" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under SectionΒ 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law or any other applicable Law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the "Fair Share Contribution Amount" with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this SectionΒ 13.6, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. "Aggregate Payments" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1)Β the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this SectionΒ 13.6), minus (2)Β the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this SectionΒ 13.6. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this SectionΒ 13.6 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this SectionΒ 13.6 and a right to receive any Fair Share Contribution Amount shall be deemed an asset of the Guarantor entitled to such amount.

14.1.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Termination. Except as otherwise provided in SectionΒ 11.2 hereof, Required Lenders (acting through Agent) may terminate this Agreement only as of the Maturity Date. Borrowers, or any one of them, may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Maturity Date by written notice to Agent and in accordance with the terms of SectionΒ 3.3(a). A termination by one Borrower shall be deemed to be a termination by all Borrowers. All Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification and reimbursement Obligations) shall become due and payable in full on the earlier of the (a)Β Maturity Date or (b)Β Early Maturity Date. All Commitments shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement. All of Agent's and Lenders' rights, Liens and security interests granted pursuant to the Loan Documents shall continue after any termination of this Agreement until the Termination Date; provided that upon the Termination Date, all of Agent's Liens and security interests in the Collateral shall be automatically released and terminated and Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of Borrowers, forthwith execute and deliver (or otherwise authorize the filing of) UCC and PPSA termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by Borrowers evidencing such termination, including Lien releases, discharges of security interests, terminations of deposit account control agreements, re-assignments or releases of Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents, and other similar discharge or release documents (in recordable form, if applicable). Upon the request and at the reasonable expense of Borrowers, Agent shall promptly execute and deliver a customary payoff letter, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrowers, setting forth the amounts required to be paid in order to effectuate the Termination Date.

No waiver of an Event of Default by Agent shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and Required Lenders. No delay or failure of Agent or Lenders to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether before or after the happening of any Event of Default, shall impair any such right or remedy, or shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, or as a waiver of such Event of Default. A waiver on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. No single or partial exercise by Agent or Lenders of any right or remedy precludes any other or further exercise thereof, or precludes any other right or remedy.
Β
14.3.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Entire Agreement; Control. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents: (a)Β constitute the entire agreement among Borrowers, Agent and/or Lenders; and (b)Β supersede any prior agreements (including the agreements set forth in the Proposal Letter and any confidentiality agreement).

Regardless of any provision herein or in any agreement made in connection herewith, Agent and Lenders shall never be entitled to receive, charge or apply, as interest on any indebtedness relating hereto, any amount in excess of the maximum amount of interest permissible under applicable Law. If Agent or Lenders ever receive, collect or apply any such excess, it shall be deemed a partial repayment of principal and treated as such. If as a result, the entire principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrowers. This SectionΒ 14.4 shall control every other provision of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other agreement made in connection herewith.

(b)β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, solely to the extent that (i)Β a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that the calculation or determination of interest payable by a Credit Party in respect of the Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by the laws of any province of Canada or the federal laws of Canada, or (ii)Β the Interest Act (Canada) otherwise applies: whenever interest payable by a Credit Party is calculated on the basis of a period which is less than the actual number of days in a calendar year, each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used as the basis of such calculation. Each Credit Party confirms that it understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to its Obligations based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided in this Agreement.
Β
(c)β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―In no event shall the aggregate "interest" (as defined in SectionΒ 347 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, as the same shall be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time (the "Criminal Code Section")) payable (whether by way of payment, collection or demand) by any Credit Party or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the "credit advanced" (as defined in that section) under this Agreement or such other Loan Document lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of "interest" (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded by the Agent and Lenders to the Credit Parties with such "interest" 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 the Criminal Code SectionΒ to result in a receipt by the Agent or such Lender of interest at a rate not in contravention of the Criminal Code Section, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: firstly, by reducing the amounts or rates of interest required to be paid to the Agent or that Lender; and then, by reducing any fees, charges, expenses and other amounts required to be paid to the Agent or Lender which would constitute "interest". Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all such adjustments, if the Agent or any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code Section, then the relevant Credit Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Agent or affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from the Agent or that Lender in an amount equal to such excess. For the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which any Credit Party is a party, the effective annual rate of interest payable by the Credit Parties shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the loans on the basis of annual compounding for the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Agent for the account of Credit Parties will be conclusive for the purpose of such determination in the absence of evidence to the contrary.
Β
(d)β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige any Credit Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Credit Party with respect to such portion of the Obligations, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears with respect thereto (and not other Obligations) at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

Furthermore, in lieu of any such provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of the applicable agreement a legal and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the severed provision as may be possible.

No assignment of any rights or obligations under or in respect of the Loans or the Promissory Notes evidencing such Loans shall be effective unless and until Agent shall have recorded the assignment in the Register, and the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Transfer Agreement shall be available for inspection by Borrowers, Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. Each Borrower hereby designates Agent to serve as such Borrower's agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register (the "Register") as provided in this Section, and each Borrower hereby agrees that the entity serving as Registrar and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees shall constitute an Indemnified Party under SectionΒ 11.5.

In addition, any costs, expenses, fees or disbursements incurred by agents or attorneys retained by Agent to collect the Obligations or enforce any rights in the Collateral, including enforcing, preserving or maintaining rights under this Agreement, shall be shared among Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers or from the Proceeds of Collateral.

The Credit Parties authorize each Lender, and each Lender shall have the right, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, to setoff and apply against any and all Property of any Credit Party held by, or in the possession of such Lender, any of the Obligations owed to such Lender. Promptly after the exercise of any right to set-off, Lender exercising such right irrevocably agrees to purchase for cash (and the other Lenders irrevocably agree to sell) participation interests in each other Lender's outstanding Loans as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount of the property set-off with the other Lenders based on each Lender's Pro Rata Percentage. Each Credit Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that any Lender also may exercise its right to setoff with respect to amounts in excess of such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Obligations then outstanding, and may purchase participation interests in the amounts so setoff from the other Lenders, and upon doing so shall deliver such excess to Agent, for distribution to the other Lenders in settlement of the participation purchases described above in this SectionΒ 14.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall independently take any action to enforce or protect its rights arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including the exercise of any right of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent or Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action shall be taken in concert and at the direction of Agent or Required Lenders. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower Representative, Agent and each other Lender after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

14.14.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Confidentiality. Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)Β to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, Rating Agencies (as defined below), portfolio management servicers, legal counsel and other advisors on a need to know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b)Β to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c)Β to the extent required by applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify Borrower Representative as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person unless such notification is prohibited by applicable Law, (d)Β to any other party to this Agreement, (e)Β in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f)Β subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this SectionΒ 14.14 to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g)Β with the consent of Borrower Representative or (h)Β to the extent such Information (i)Β becomes publicly available, other than as a result of a breach of this SectionΒ 14.14 or (ii)Β becomes available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party or Parent (so long as such source is not actually known to Agent or such Lender to be bound by confidentiality obligations to any Credit Party or Parent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions described herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions and tax analysis) that have been provided to such Persons relating to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions described herein (it being understood that this authorization is retroactively effective to the commencement of the first discussions between or among any of the parties regarding the transactions described herein). For the purposes of this SectionΒ 14.14, (i)Β "Information" means all information received from any Credit Party relating to any Credit Party, Parent or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Credit Party, and any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this SectionΒ 14.14 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information; and (ii)Β "Rating Agencies" means Xxxxx'x Investor Services,Β Inc., Standard and Poor's Financial Services LLC, Fitch Ratings Inc., or any other nationally recognized rating agency or service. The obligations of any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this SectionΒ 14.14 shall continue with respect to any item of Information for only so long as the item of Information has or retains a confidential nature, but in no event beyond a period of three (3)Β years from the Termination Date. In no event shall Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any Information or other materials furnished by a Credit Party.
Β
14.15.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Amendments; Agent's Discretionary Rights. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed by Borrowers and Required Lenders (and, if (x)Β any amendment, waiver or other modification would increase such Lender's funding obligations in respect of any Loan, by such Lender and (y)Β the rights or duties of Agent are affected thereby, by Agent); provided that no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, (a)Β unless signed by each Lender directly affected thereby, amend or waive Borrowers' compliance with any term or provision of this Agreement, if the effect of such amendment or waiver would be to (i)Β reduce the principal of, or rate of interest on, the Loans (other than the application of Default Rate of Interest and with respect to any mandatory prepayments under SectionΒ 3.3(c)), (ii)Β reduce or waive the payment of any fee in which all Lenders share hereunder or (iii)Β extend the Maturity Date or the date fixed for payment of any installment of principal thereof or any interest or fee; or (b)Β unless signed by each Lender, (i)Β alter or amend the definition of "Required Lenders", (ii)Β except as otherwise expressly permitted or required hereunder, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or Guaranties in any transaction or series of related transactions; or (iii)Β amend any provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder. In all other respects Agent is authorized to take or to refrain from taking any action which Agent, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, deems to be advisable and in the best interest of Lenders, unless this Agreement specifically requires Borrowers or Agent to obtain the consent of, or act at the direction of, Required Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to (i)Β release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (1)Β upon the Termination Date, (2)Β that is sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other Permitted Disposition permitted hereunder or under any Involuntary Disposition, or (3)Β as approved in accordance with SectionΒ 14.15; (ii)Β subordinate any Lien on any Property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such Property securing Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness; and (iii)Β amend any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in order to cure any error, ambiguity, defect or inconsistency set forth therein. In the event Agent or Required Lenders terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, Agent and Required Lenders agree to cease making additional loans or advances upon the effective date of termination, except for expenses which Agent in its sole discretion determines are reasonably required to preserve, protect or realize upon the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, and a change in the principal of, or interest on, the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender and any date fixed for payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender may not be made without the consent of such Lender.

Β
14.16.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Deemed Consent. If a Lender's consent to a waiver amendment or other course of action is required under the terms of this Agreement and such Lender does not respond to any request by Agent for such consent within ten (10)Β Business Days after the date of such request, such failure to respond shall be deemed a consent to the requested course of action.
Β
14.17.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Credit Party in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender from any Credit Party in the Agreement Currency, such Credit Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender in such currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Credit Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

SECTIONΒ 15.
Β
Inter-Borrower Provisions; Joint and Several Liability
Β
15.1.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Joint and Several Liability. The Loans made to Borrowers shall be deemed jointly funded to, and received by, Borrowers. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay, and shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of, all Obligations directly incurred by each other Borrower, regardless of whether such Borrower actually receives the proceeds of the indebtedness governed hereby or the benefit of any other extensions of credit hereunder. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the joint and several liability of Borrowers is provided as an inducement to Agent and Lenders to provide loans and other financial accommodations to Borrowers, and that each such Loan or other financial accommodation shall be deemed to have been done or extended by Agent and Lenders in consideration of, and in reliance upon, the joint and several liability of Borrowers. The joint and several liability of each Borrower hereunder is absolute, unconditional and continuing, regardless of the validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations, or the fact that a security interest or Lien in any Collateral may not be enforceable or subject to equities or defenses or prior claims in favor of others, or may be invalid or defective in any way and for any reason. Each Borrower hereby waives: (i)Β all notices to which such Borrower may be entitled as a co-obligor with respect to the Obligations, including notice of (x)Β acceptance of this Agreement, (y)Β the making of Loans or other financial accommodations under this Agreement, or the creation or existence of the Obligations, and (z)Β presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of non-payment; and (ii)Β all defenses based on (w)Β any modification (or series of modifications) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, that may create a substituted contract, or that may fundamentally alter the risks imposed on such Borrower hereunder, (x)Β the release of any other Borrower from its duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the extension of the time of performance of any other Borrower's duties hereunder or thereunder, (y)Β the taking, releasing, impairment or abandonment of any Collateral, or the settlement, release or compromise of the Obligations or any other Borrower's liabilities with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations, or (z)Β any other act (or any failure to act) that fundamentally alters the risks imposed on such Borrower by virtue of its joint and several liability hereunder. It is the intent of each Borrower by this paragraph to waive any and all suretyship defenses available to such Borrower with respect to the Obligations, whether or not specifically enumerated above. Borrowers acknowledge that the credit provided hereunder is on terms more favorable than any Borrower acting alone would receive and that each Borrower benefits directly and indirectly from the Loans made hereunder. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations regardless of, inter alia, which Borrower received proceeds of the Loans.
Β
Β | -109- | Β |
Β
Β
15.2.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Subrogation and Contribution Rights. Each Borrower hereby agrees that until the Termination Date, such Borrower will not exercise any subrogation, contribution or other right or remedy against any other Borrower or against any security for any of the Obligations arising by reason of such Borrower's performance or satisfaction of its joint and several liability hereunder. In addition, each Borrower agrees that (i)Β such Borrower's right to receive any payment of amounts due with respect to such subrogation, contribution or other rights is subordinated to the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations, and (ii)Β such Borrower agrees not to demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any such payment until the Termination Date.
Β
15.3.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Certain Borrower Acknowledgments and Agreements.
Β
(a)β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Each Borrower acknowledges that it will enjoy significant benefits from the business conducted by the other Borrowers because of, inter alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including their ability to receive the credit extensions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on favorable terms granted by this Agreement and other Loan Documents which would not have been available to an individual Borrower acting alone. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest to procure the Credit Facility contemplated hereunder, with the credit support of the other Borrowers as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Β
(b)β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Agent and Lenders have advised Borrowers that each of them is unwilling to enter into this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and make available the Credit Facility extended hereby or thereby to any Borrower unless each Borrower agrees, among other things, to be jointly and severally liable for the due and proper payment of the Obligations of each other Borrower under this Agreement and other Loan Documents. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce Agent and Lenders to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other documents executed in connection herewith (i)Β because of the desirability to each Borrower of the Credit Facility hereunder and the interest rates and the modes of borrowing available hereunder and thereunder, (ii)Β because each Borrower may engage in transactions jointly with the other Borrowers and (iii)Β because each Borrower may require, from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement for the purposes herein set forth.
Β
(c)β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Each Borrower has determined that it is and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (including the inter-Borrower arrangement set forth in this SectionΒ 15) will have assets having a fair saleable value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they fall due for payment and that the sum of its debts is not and will not then be greater than all of its Property at a fair valuation, that such Borrower has and will have, access to adequate capital for the conduct of its business and the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature and that the value of the benefits to be derived by such Borrower from the access to funds under this Agreement (including the inter-Borrower arrangement set forth in this SectionΒ 15) is reasonably equivalent to the Obligations undertaken pursuant hereto.
Β
(d)β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Borrower Representative (on behalf of each Borrower) shall maintain records specifying (i)Β all Obligations incurred by each Borrower, (ii)Β the date of such incurrence, (iii)Β the date and amount of any payments made in respect of such Obligations, and (iv)Β all inter-Borrower obligations pursuant to this SectionΒ 15. Borrower Representative shall make copies of such records available to Agent, upon request.
Β
Β | -110- | Β |
Β
Β
15.4.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Maximum Amount of Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the primary and secondary nature of the liabilities of Borrowers, and the security interests granted by Borrowers to secure the Obligations directly incurred by any Borrower not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under SectionΒ 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar Law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time or otherwise be rendered invalid or unenforceable due to the nature of the joint and several liability. Accordingly, Agent, Lenders and Borrowers agree that if the obligations and liabilities of any Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document, or any security interests granted by such Borrower securing the Obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable Law, or would otherwise render Borrower's Obligations or the security interests granted herein invalid or unenforceable, the Obligations of such Borrower hereunder, as well as the security interests securing such Obligations and liabilities, shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such Obligations, liabilities or security interests to constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable Law or otherwise result in such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that each Borrower's Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this SectionΒ 15.4 were not a part of this Agreement.
Β
15.5.β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―β―Authorization of Borrower Representative by Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints Borrower Representative, as agent for such Borrower on its behalf, to (i)Β request Loans from Agent and Lenders, (ii)Β to give and receive notices under the Loan Documents and (iii)Β take all other action which Borrower Representative or Borrowers are permitted or required to take under this Agreement, including to give notices, make requests, make payments, receive payments and notices, give receipts and execute agreements, make agreements or take any other action whatsoever on behalf of such Borrower under and with respect to any Loan Document and each Borrower shall be bound thereby. This authorization is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and Agent and Lenders may rely on any notice, request, information supplied by Borrower Representative, every document executed by Borrower Representative, every agreement made by Borrower Representative or other action taken by Borrower Representative in respect of Borrowers or any thereof as if the same were supplied, made or taken by any or all Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the failure of one or more Borrowers to join in the execution of any writing in connection herewith shall not, unless the context clearly requires, relieve any such Borrower from obligations in respect of such writing.

(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating to the Cash/Public Acquisition (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Cash/Public Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to the Holder not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the closing of the proposed Cash/Public Acquisition. In the event the Company does not provide such notice, then if, immediately prior to closing of the Cash/Public Acquisition, the Fair Market Value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to the Holder and the Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Warrant as of the date thereof.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β As used in this Warrant, βMarketable Securitiesβ means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (A) (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the βExchange Actβ), or the corresponding reporting requirements of the Securities Act, and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the U.S. Securities Act, the Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act, as applicable; or (ii) the issuer thereof is a βreporting issuerβ as such term is defined in the Securities Act; (B) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by the Holder in connection with the Acquisition were the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded on a Trading Market; and (C) following the closing of such Acquisition, the Holder would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuerβs shares and/or other securities that would be received by the Holder in such Acquisition were the Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under U.S. or Canadian federal, provincial or state securities laws, rules or regulations, or (y) is included in a lock-up or standstill agreement that does not extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Acquisition.

SECTION 2.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.
Β
2.1Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Share Dividends, Share Splits, Share Consolidations, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in Common Shares or other securities or property (other than cash) (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Shares issued by the Company upon the prior exercise of a portion of this Warrant), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, the Holder shall receive, without additional cost to the Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which the Holder would have received had the Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
Β

Β
Β
2.2Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, converted, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that the Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.
Β
2.3Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a βReorganizationβ) involving the Company (other than an Acquisition which is subject to the provisions of Section 1.6) in which the Companyβs Shares are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.
Β
2.4Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying the Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the Fair Market Value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.
Β
2.5Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Companyβs expense, shall notify the Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price and/or number of Shares and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from the Holder, furnish the Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.
