(4) If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Credit Documents would obligate any Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Applicable Law or would result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such 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 Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Lender under the applicable Credit Document, and thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making, extension, renewal or increase of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The provisions of this Article 9 and other provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents for the benefit of the Administrative Agent shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agents, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any of its sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or wilful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

Section 9.8 Replacement of Agents.

(1) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor.

(2) If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders or shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any Security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.8(1).

The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the termination of the service of the former Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such former Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the former Administrative Agent was acting as an Administrative Agent.

- 36 -

Section 9.9 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.10 Collective Action of the Secured Creditors.

Each of the Secured Creditors hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all Security and the remedies provided under the Credit Documents to the Secured Creditors are for the benefit of the Secured Creditors collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under any Security are to be exercised not severally, but by the Administrative Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Credit Documents). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any Security, each of the Secured Creditors hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including, without limitation, any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder, but that any such action shall be taken only by the Administrative Agent with the prior written agreement of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Credit Documents). Each of the Secured Creditors hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given, it shall co-operate fully with the Administrative Agent to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Administrative Agent may without notice to or consent of the Secured Creditors take such action on behalf of the Secured Creditors as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Secured Creditors.

Section 9.11 Obligations.

All Obligations shall rank pari passu with each other and any proceeds from any realization of the Restricted Account Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations rateably in accordance with Section 8.5 (whether such Restricted Account Collateral is in the name of the Administrative Agent or in the name of any one or more of the other Secured Creditors and without regard to any priority to which any Secured Creditor may otherwise be entitled under Applicable Law).

Section 9.12 Holding of Security; Discharges.

(1) Each Secured Creditor agrees with the other Secured Creditors that it will not, without the prior consent of the other Secured Creditors, take or obtain any Lien on any properties or assets of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to secure the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents, except for the benefit of all Secured Creditors or as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law.

- 37 -

(2) If the Aggregate Principal Amount and all other amounts due and payable under the Credit Documents to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash and the Commitment has been terminated, the Lenders will release their interest in the Security.

Section 9.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains any payment or other reduction that might result in such Lender receiving payment or other reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Aggregate Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon or other obligations hereunder greater than its rateable share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such payment or other reduction shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Aggregate Principal Amount and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Aggregate Principal Amount and other amounts owing them. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against it rights of set-off and counterclaim and similar rights of Lenders with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.14 Liability of the Lenders inter se.

Each of the Lenders agrees with each of the other Lenders that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Lenders has or shall have any duty or obligation, or shall in any way be liable, to any of the other Lenders in respect of the Credit Documents or any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with them.

(2) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution, delivery or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance or non-performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation or non-consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) the presence of contaminants in, on, at, under or about, or the discharge or likely discharge of contaminants from, any of the properties now or previously used or occupied by any of the Credit Parties, or the breach by or non-compliance with any Environmental Law by any mortgagor, owner or lessee of such properties, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Credit Parties, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Credit Party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

- 40 -

(3) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.5(1) or Section 10.5(2) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s rateable portion (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

(4) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Credit Party shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for indirect, consequential, punitive, aggravated or exemplary damages (as opposed to direct damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby (or any breach thereof), the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(5) Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender on demand any amounts required to compensate the Lender for any loss suffered or incurred by it as a result of (i) the failure of the Borrower to give any notice in the manner and at the times required by this Agreement, (ii) the failure of the Borrower to effect an Advance in the manner and at the time specified in any Borrowing Notice or to make a prepayment in the manner and at the time specified in any notice with respect thereto, or (iii) the failure of the Borrower to make a payment or a mandatory repayment in the manner and at the time specified in this Agreement, including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or deployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Advance or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

Section 10.6 Successors and Assigns.

(1) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

(2) Any Lender may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its Aggregate Principal Amount) to (i) any Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender or (ii) any other Person with the prior written consent of the Borrower, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in which case no such consent is required); provided that the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption. From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including any collateral security, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article 7 and Section 10.5, and shall continue to be liable for any breach of this Agreement by such Lender, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(4) Each Borrower shall provide such certificates, acknowledgments and further assurances in respect of this Agreement and the Credit Facility as such Lender may reasonably require in connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6.

(5) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Credit Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, but no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto or thereto.

(1) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due to a Lender in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given or, if permitted by Applicable Law, on the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied.

- 42 -

(2) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to the Lender under any of the Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, the Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify the Lender, against any loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Lender shall remit such excess to the Borrower.

Section 10.8 Interest on Amounts.

Without duplication of any amounts contemplated in Section 3.4(3) and except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, all amounts owed by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and to any of the Lenders, which are not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, on demand, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest (both before and after default and judgment), from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the highest applicable rate in Section 3.4(1) plus two percent (2%), calculated daily and compounded monthly.

Section 10.9 Anti-Terrorism Laws.

(1) If, upon the written request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower for purposes of Anti-Terrorism Laws, then the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for such Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between such Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable Anti-Terrorism Law; and

(b) shall provide to such Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

(2) Notwithstanding and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent does not have any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from the Borrower or any authorized signatory in doing so.

Section 10.10 Governing Law: Jurisdiction: Etc.

(1) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable in that Province.

(2) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its Assets, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Alberta, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any Credit Party or its Assets in the courts of any jurisdiction.

- 43 -

(3) The Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding to the Borrower at the address provided for it in Section 10.4. Nothing in this Section 10.10(3) limits the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

(4) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in any court referred to in Section 10.10(2). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 10.11 Entire Agreement

This Agreement together with the other Credit Documents constitutes the whole and entire agreement between the parties and cancels and supersedes any prior agreements, undertakings, declarations and representations, written or verbal, in respect of the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and any other written agreements that are expressly stated to survive the effectiveness of this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Waiver of Jury Trial.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.

Section 10.13 Counterparts: Integration: Effectiveness: Electronic Execution.

(1) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original, and such counterparts together constitute one and the same instrument. Transmission of an executed signature page by facsimile, email or other electronic means is as effective as a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent has received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

(2) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption 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 Transactions Act (Alberta) 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.

Section 10.14 Treatment of Certain Information: Confidentiality.

(1) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees, and each of the Credit Parties agree, to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to it, its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, managers, administrators, trustees, agents, auditors, advisors and representatives (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) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.14 to (i) any assignee of, or any prospective assignee of, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its partners, directors, officers, employees, managers, administrators, trustees, agents, advisors or other representatives) to any swap, derivative, credit-linked note or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Credit Parties and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, or the advisors of the Persons referred to in (i) and (ii), (g) with the consent of the Credit Party or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis.

(2) For purposes of this Section, “Information” means: (a) with respect to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, all information received in connection with this Agreement from the Credit Parties relating to the Credit Parties or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to such receipt; and (b) with respect to the Credit Parties, all information contained in this Agreement and all other Credit Documents and all information received from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including the identity of Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, managers, administrators, trustees, agents, auditors, advisors and representatives. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.14 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent may disclose to any agency or organization that assigns standard identification numbers to loan facilities such basic information describing the facilities provided hereunder as is necessary to assign unique identifiers (and, if requested, supply a copy of this Agreement), it being understood that the Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to make available to the public only such Information as such person normally makes available in the course of its business of assigning identification numbers.

(3) The Credit Parties agree to provide the Administrative Agent with the opportunity to review and comment on any press release in respect of any matter contemplated in any Credit Document. In respect of any Credit Document or other document to be filed on SEDAR (or on any other public filing repository), the Credit Parties agree to redact the names of all parties other than the Administrative Agent and the names of any partners, directors, officers, employees, managers, administrators, trustees, agents, auditors, advisors and representatives of the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Creditors and their respective Affiliates, the foregoing obligations of the Credit Parties all subject to applicable securities laws in the relevant jurisdiction in which the public filings are to be made.

Section 10.15 Severability.

If any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, determines any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Section 10.16 Time of the Essence.

Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

Section 10.17 USA PATRIOT Act.

Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 10.18 No Fiduciary Duty.

The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 10.18, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of a Borrower, its shareholders and its Affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its shareholders or its Affiliates, on the other hand. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of the Borrower, its shareholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its shareholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (ii) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, shareholders, creditors or any other person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transactions or the process leading thereto.
