In the event of a conflict in or between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any of the other Credit Documents (other than (i) Xxxxxx to which a Lender Hedge Provider is the counterparty and (ii) the Intercreditor Agreement) then, notwithstanding anything contained in such other Credit Document, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail and the provisions of such other Credit Document will be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to eliminate such conflict. In particular, if any act or omission of an Obligor is expressly permitted under this Agreement but is expressly prohibited under another Credit Document (other than (i) Xxxxxx to which a Lender Hedge Provider is the counterparty and (ii) the Intercreditor Agreement), such act or omission will be permitted. If any act or omission is expressly prohibited under a Credit Document (other than this Agreement), but this Agreement does not expressly permit such act or omission, or if any act is expressly required to be performed under such Credit Document but this Agreement does not expressly relieve the applicable Obligor from such performance, such circumstance will not constitute a conflict in or between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of such Credit Document.

1.09	Non-Business Days

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whenever any payment is stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the payment will be made on the immediately following Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if with respect to any payment of principal or interest on a LIBOR Advance the succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the due date for payment of such principal or interest will be the next preceding Business Day. In the case of interest or fees payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the extension or contraction of time will be considered in determining the amount of interest and fees. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whenever any action to be taken is stated or scheduled to be required to be taken on, or (except with respect to the calculation of interest or fees) any period of time is stated or scheduled to commence or terminate on, a day other than a Business Day, the action will be taken or the period of time will commence or terminate, as the case may be, on the immediately following Business Day.

1.10	Statutory and Material Contract References

Any reference in this Agreement to any act or statute or regulation (including any regulation of any Governmental Authority), or to any section of or any definition in any act, statute or regulation (including any regulation of any Governmental Authority), will be deemed to be a reference to such act, statute or regulation (including any regulation of any Governmental Authority) or section or definition as amended, supplemented, substituted, replaced or re-enacted from time to time. Any reference in this Agreement to an agreement, indenture, debenture or contract (including without limitation a Material Contract) will be deemed to be a reference to such document as supplemented, amended, restated, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

1.11	Interest Payments and Calculations

(1)

All interest payments to be made under this Agreement will be paid without allowance or deduction for deemed re-investment or otherwise, both before and after maturity and before and after default and/or judgment, if any, until payment of the amount on which such interest is accruing, and interest will accrue on overdue interest, if any.

(2)

Unless otherwise stated, wherever in this Agreement reference is made to a rate of interest or rate of fees “per annum” or a similar expression is used, such interest or fees will be calculated on the basis of a calendar year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and using the nominal rate method of calculation, and will not be calculated using the effective rate method of calculation or on any other basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed re-investment of interest.

(3)

For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure under such act, whenever interest to be paid under this Agreement is to be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days or 360 days or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by either 365, 360 or such other period of time, as the case may be.

(4)	In calculating interest or fees payable under this Agreement for any period, unless otherwise specifically stated, the first day but not the last day of such period will be included.

(5)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any interest rate or rates referred to herein (together with other fees payable hereunder which are construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest or in the nature of interest) exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law. If such maximum interest rate would be exceeded by the terms hereof, the rates of interest payable hereunder will be reduced to the extent necessary so that such rates (together with other fees which are construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest or in the nature of interest) equal the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law, and any overpayment of interest received by the Agent or the Lenders theretofore will be applied, forthwith after determination of such overpayment, to pay all then outstanding interest, and thereafter to pay outstanding principal, as if the same were a prepayment of principal and treated accordingly hereunder.

Any such increase in the aggregate Commitments under the Credit Facilities (or any one of them) shall be subject to the following conditions:

- 56 -

ARTICLE 2

(a)	a Borrower shall deliver to the Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that no Event of Default or Pending Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will occur by the Borrowers increasing the aggregate Commitments under the Credit Facilities;

(b)	the Agent, acting reasonably, shall have consented to the identity of any Lender Group or LC Lender who is not already a party to this Agreement;

(c)

the Borrowers shall cause to be delivered to the Agent an instrument in writing from each Lender Group or LC Lender which is agreeing to such increased Commitments, either confirming their increased Commitments, in the case of each Lender Group or LC Lender which is already a Lender Group or LC Lender hereunder, or agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as Lenders, in the case of each Lender Group or LC Lender which is not at the time a Lender Group or LC Lender hereunder; and

(2)

At any time during the Revolving Period that the Canadian Borrower would be entitled to obtain Prime Rate Advances and US Base Rate Advances, as the case may be, under the Canadian Revolving Facility, the Canadian Borrower will be entitled to draw cheques on its Cdn. Dollar chequing account and US Dollar chequing account, as the case may be, maintained from time to time with the Canadian Swingline Lender at the main branch of the Canadian Swingline Lender in Toronto, Ontario (or in such other accounts with the Canadian Swingline Lender at such other branch of the Canadian Swingline Lender as may be agreed upon by the Canadian Swingline Lender and the Canadian Borrower from time to time). If no cash concentration arrangement is in place with the Canadian Swingline Lender, the debit balance from time to time in any such Cdn. Dollar account will be deemed to be a Prime Rate Advance, outstanding to the Canadian Borrower from the Canadian Swingline Lender under the Canadian Revolving Facility and the debit balance from time to time in any such US Dollar account will be deemed to be a US Base Rate Advance outstanding to the Canadian Borrower from the Canadian Swingline Lender under the Canadian Revolving Facility.

- 58 -

ARTICLE 2

(4)

It is the intention of the parties that Canadian Swingline Loans are to be available to the Canadian Borrower on a short-term basis pending the obtaining of Drawdowns from the Canadian Lenders. Accordingly, if any Canadian Swingline Loans have been outstanding for more than five Business Days, the Canadian Swingline Lender may require the Canadian Borrower to obtain a Drawdown, (subject to minimum Advances of Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes and LIBOR Advances), from the Canadian Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of Canadian Swingline Loans then outstanding; the proceeds of such Drawdown will be applied in repayment of all outstanding Canadian Swingline Loans at such time.

(5)

If the Canadian Borrower does not repay Canadian Swingline Loans as required by Section 2.06(4) the Canadian Swingline Lender may (but will not be obliged to) deliver a written notice to the Agent (which will thereupon deliver a similar notice to each of the Canadian Lenders) and to the Canadian Borrower, whereby the Canadian Borrower will be deemed to have requested at such time a Drawdown from the Canadian Lenders (in the case of Canadian Dollar Obligations of Prime Rate Advances and in the case of US Dollar Obligations of US Base Rate Advances) in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of Canadian Swingline Loans then outstanding. The Canadian Lenders will thereupon make such Advances (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 3.02 will then have been satisfied), in its Proportionate Share and the Agent will pay the proceeds thereof to the Canadian Swingline Lender to be applied in repayment of such Canadian Swingline Loans. The Agent will promptly notify the Canadian Borrower of any such Advances made, and the Canadian Borrower agrees to accept each such Advances and hereby authorizes and directs the Agent to apply the proceeds thereof as aforesaid.

(6)

Upon termination of the Revolving Period, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Canadian Lenders agrees that it will purchase from the Canadian Swingline Lender, and the Canadian Swingline Lender agrees that it will sell to such Canadian Lenders, for cash, at par, without representation or warranty from or recourse against the Canadian Swingline Lender (and irrespective of whether any condition precedent to an Advance has been satisfied, any Pending Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or whether any acceleration or enforcement action (including any termination of the Credit Facilities and the Commitments) has occurred or been commenced under any of the Credit Documents or otherwise), according to its Proportionate Share, an undivided interest in all Canadian Swingline Loans then outstanding. The Agent, upon consultation with the applicable Lenders, will have the power to settle any documentation required to evidence any such purchase and, if deemed advisable by the Agent, to execute any document as attorney for any Lender in order to complete any such purchase. The Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders acknowledge that the foregoing arrangements are to be settled by the Canadian Lenders among themselves, and the Canadian Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements among such Lenders.

(7)

Each of the Canadian Lenders agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Canadian Swingline Lender according to its Proportionate Share against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, payments or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Canadian Swingline Lender in any way related to or arising out of any Canadian Swingline Loan made by the Canadian Swingline Lender under the Canadian Swingline Facility (except for any such liabilities to the extent that they result from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Canadian Swingline Lender).

(2)

If no cash concentration arrangement is in place with the US Swingline Lender, the debit balance from time to time in any such US Dollar account will be deemed to be a US Prime Rate Advance, outstanding to the US Borrower from the US Swingline Lender under the US Revolving Facility. If at any time the US Borrower is a party to a cash concentration arrangement with the US Swingline Lender, then only the amount of any overdraft from time to time in the US Dollar concentration account, of the US Borrower established pursuant to such arrangement (which for greater certainty may include one of the US Dollar accounts identified above) will be deemed to be a US Prime Rate Advance outstanding to the US Borrower from the US Swingline Lender under the US Revolving Facility. A US Prime Rate Advance from the US Swingline Lender as contemplated by this Section, prior to such time as such Advance is repaid as contemplated by Sections 2.07(4) or (5), or purchased as contemplated by Section 2.07(6), is referred to as a “US Swingline Loan”.

If the US Borrower does not repay US Swingline Loans as required by Section 2.07(4) the US Swingline Lender may (but will not be obliged to) deliver a written notice to the Agent (which will thereupon deliver a similar notice to each of the US Lenders) and to the US Borrower, whereby the US Borrower will be deemed to have requested at such time a Drawdown from the US Lenders of US Prime Rate Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of US Swingline Loans then outstanding. The US Lenders will thereupon make such Advances (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 3.02 will then have been satisfied), in its Proportionate Share and the Agent will pay the proceeds thereof to the US Swingline Lender to be applied in repayment of such US Swingline Loans. The Agent will promptly notify the US Borrower of any such Advances made, and the US Borrower agrees to accept each such Advances and hereby authorizes and directs the Agent to apply the proceeds thereof as aforesaid.

- 62 -

ARTICLE 2

2.10	Nature of the Credit Facilities

(1)

During the Revolving Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Canadian Revolving Facility, the US Revolving Facility and the LC Facility are revolving credits and, accordingly, the applicable Borrower may increase or decrease Advances under either such Credit Facility by making Drawdowns, repayments and further Drawdowns of the amount of Advances that have been repaid. The aggregate of all Commitments of the Canadian Lenders under the Canadian Revolving Facility, the US Lenders under the US Revolving Facility and the LC Lender under the LC Facility shall equal the then applicable Maximum Facility Amount.

(2)

The Borrowers shall have the right from time to time, upon written notice to the Agent, as long as no Event of Default or Pending Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to re-allocate the aggregate Commitments between the Canadian Revolving Facility and the US Revolving Facility up to four times per Fiscal Year, provided that (i) the aggregate of all Commitments shall not be increased; (ii) subject to Section 2.10(3), each Lender Group is comprised of a Canadian Lender and a US Lender who are parties hereto at the time of such re-allocation, and their Commitments under each Revolving Facility are sufficient to accommodate the re-allocation; (iii) subject to Section 2.10(3), each Lender Group maintains the same Proportionate Share of Commitments under the Canadian Revolving Facility and the US Revolving Facility; and (iv) concurrently with the re-allocation, the Borrowers shall request new Advances based on the Lenders’ Proportionate Shares after the re-allocation and shall apply the proceeds thereof to repay Advances such that thereafter each Lender’s share of the Advances under a Revolving Facility is equal to such Lender’s Proportionate Share. Subject to Section 2.10(3), the Commitments of the applicable Lender of each Lender Group under each applicable Revolving Facility will be re-allocated on a pro rata basis. Upon receipt of such notice, the Agent will give notice to each Lender and Schedule A to this Agreement will be amended by the Agent to reflect such re-allocation. The re-allocation of the Commitments will take effect 10 Business Days after written notification is received by the Agent from the Borrowers. For greater certainty, the amount of the US Revolving Facility shall be determined based upon the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars in effect on the date of such re-allocation.

(3)

If a Canadian Lender or a US Lender (each, a “Domestic Lender”) does not have an Affiliate in the US or Canada, respectively, and as a result is unable to provide loans in the US or Canada, respectively, then the applicable Lender Group may be comprised of solely such Domestic Lender, and such Domestic Lender may hold Commitments solely in the Canadian Revolving Facility or the US Revolving Facility, as applicable. In such case, the Agent may re-allocate such Domestic Lender’s Commitments amongst the other Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facilities for which such Domestic Lender is not providing Commitments.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the US Borrower may (i) make Drawdowns hereunder; (ii) convert the whole or any part of any type of Advance permitted hereunder into any other type of Advance permitted hereunder, or (iii) may rollover any LIBOR Advance by giving the Agent a Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as the case may be.

(a)	11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) three Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date, as the case may be, for LIBOR Advances;

(b)	11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) one Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, for Prime Rate Advances, US Base Rate Advances or US Prime Rate Advances;

(d)	11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) three Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, for Letters of Credit.

(3)

Each Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover under the Credit Facilities will (a) in the case of Prime Rate Advances, be in a minimum principal amount of $1,500,000 and in whole multiples of $500,000 (b) in the case of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by the Lenders, be in a minimum face amount of $1,500,000 and in whole multiples of $500,000 for a term of one month, subject to availability; provided that no Lender shall be required to accept its Proportionate Share of any Bankers’ Acceptance in an amount that is less than $100,000; (c) in the case of US Prime Rate Advances and US Base Rate Advances, be in a minimum principal amount of US$1,500,000 and in whole multiples of US$500,000; and (d) and in the case of LIBOR Advances, be in a minimum principal amount of US$1,500,000 and in whole multiples of US$500,000 for a term of either one week or one month, subject to availability.

(4)	The provisions of Sections 2.11(1), 2.11(2) and 2.11(3) do not apply to Canadian Swingline Loans or US Swingline Loans.

2.12	Agent’s Obligations with Respect to Advances

Upon receipt of a Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as the case may be, the Agent will forthwith notify the Lenders of the proposed Drawdown Date, of each Lender’s Proportionate Share of such Advance and, if applicable, the account of the Agent to which each Lender’s Proportionate Share is to be credited.

2.13	Lenders’ and Agent’s Obligations with Respect to Advances

(1)

With respect to Advances under the Canadian Revolving Facility, each Canadian Lender will, prior to 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date, as the case may be, specified by the Canadian Borrower in a Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as the case may be, credit the Agent’s account specified in the Agent’s notice given under Section 2.12 with such Lender’s Proportionate Share of such Advance and by 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the same date the Agent will make available the full amount of the amounts so credited to the Canadian Borrower.

2.15	Termination of LIBOR Advances

(1)	If at any time a Lender determines, acting reasonably, (which determination will be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that:

(b)	it cannot readily obtain or retain funds in the London interbank market in order to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance for a LIBOR Interest Period selected by a Borrower or cannot otherwise perform its obligations hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Advance for any such period;

if the Lender is prevented from maintaining a LIBOR Advance, the applicable Borrower will, at its option, either repay the LIBOR Advance to that Lender or convert the LIBOR Advance into other forms of Advance which are permitted by this Agreement, and the Borrowers will be responsible for any loss or expense that the Lender incurs as a result, including Breakage Costs, if the Lender is prevented from maintaining a LIBOR Advance.

(2)

If at any time the Agent determines that the LIBO Rate is not determinable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) in the definition of “LIBO Rate”, the Agent will so notify the Borrowers, and the right of the Borrowers to request LIBOR Advances for such period will be and remain suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrowers that any condition causing such determination no longer exists.

4.05	No Set-Off, Deduction etc.

All payments (whether interest or otherwise) to be made by a Borrower or any other party to each Lender pursuant to this Agreement are to be made in freely transferable, immediately available funds and without set-off or deduction of any kind whatsoever (whether for deemed re-investment or otherwise) except to the extent required by Applicable Law, and if any such set-off or deduction is so required and is made, such Borrower or other party will, as a separate and independent obligation to each Lender, be obligated to immediately pay to each Lender all such additional amounts as may be required to fully indemnify and save harmless such Lender from such set-off or deduction and will result in the effective receipt by such Lender of all the amounts otherwise payable to it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For greater certainty, a Borrower will not be required to make any payment under this Section 4.05 in duplication of any payment required to be made under Section 14.04 or to the extent expressly excluded in Section 14.04.

The Canadian Borrower will pay to the Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders in accordance with their Proportionate Share a standby fee in Canadian Dollars calculated at the rate per annum specified as the “Standby Fee Rate” in the table contained in the definition of “Applicable Margin” on the amount by which the daily average of the aggregate of all Advances (with Advances in US Dollars, Euros and Pound Sterling being converted to an Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars) outstanding under the Canadian Revolving Facility (including Advances outstanding under the Canadian Swingline Facility and the US Swingline Facility) during such Fiscal Quarter is less than the Canadian Revolver Amount.

The Agent will enter in the foregoing accounts details of all amounts from time to time owing, paid or repaid by the Canadian Borrower or the US Borrower hereunder. The information entered in the foregoing accounts will constitute prima facie evidence of the obligations of the Canadian Borrower and the US Borrower to the Lenders hereunder with respect to all Advances and all other amounts owing by the Canadian Borrower and the US Borrower to the Lenders hereunder.

ARTICLE 5

BANKERS’ ACCEPTANCES AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

5.01	Bankers’ Acceptances under the Canadian Revolving Facility

(1)

To facilitate the procedures contemplated in this Agreement, the Canadian Borrower irrevocably appoints each Canadian Lender from time to time as the attorney-in-fact of the Canadian Borrower to execute, endorse and deliver on behalf of the Canadian Borrower drafts in the forms prescribed by such Lender (if such Lender is a BA Lender) for bankers’ acceptances denominated in Cdn. Dollars (each such executed draft which has not yet been accepted by a Lender being referred to as a “Draft”) or non-interest-bearing promissory notes of the Canadian Borrower in favour of such Lender (if such Lender is a Non BA Lender) (each such promissory note being referred to as a “BA Equivalent Note”). Each Bankers’ Acceptance and BA Equivalent Note executed and delivered by a Lender on behalf of the Canadian Borrower as provided for in this Section will be as binding upon the Canadian Borrower as if it had been executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Canadian Borrower.

(2)

Notwithstanding Section 5.01(1), the Canadian Borrower will from time to time as required by the applicable Lender provide to the Lenders an appropriate number of Drafts drawn by the Canadian Borrower upon each BA Lender and either payable to a clearing service (if such BA Lender is a member thereof) or payable to the Canadian Borrower and endorsed in blank by the Canadian Borrower (if such BA Lender is not a member of such clearing service) and an appropriate number of BA Equivalent Notes in favour of each Non BA Lender. The dates, the maturity dates and the principal amounts of all Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes delivered by the Canadian Borrower will be left blank, to be completed by the Lenders as required by this Agreement. All such Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes will be held by each Lender subject to the same degree of care as if they were such Lender’s own property kept at the place at which the Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes are ordinarily kept by such Lender. Each Lender, upon written request of the Canadian Borrower, will promptly advise the Canadian Borrower of the number and designation, if any, of the Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes then held by it. No Lender will be liable for its failure to accept a Draft or purchase a BA Equivalent Note as required by this Agreement if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to the failure of the Canadian Borrower to provide on a timely basis appropriate Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes to the applicable Lender as may be requested by such Lender on a timely basis from time to time.

- 71 -

ARTICLE 5

(3)

The Agent, promptly following receipt of a Drawdown Notice requesting Bankers’ Acceptances, will (i) advise each BA Lender of the face amount and the term of the Draft to be accepted by it and (ii) advise each applicable Non BA Lender of the face amount and term of the BA Equivalent Note to be purchased by it. All Drafts to be accepted from time to time by each BA Lender that is a member of a clearing service will be payable to such clearing service. The term of all Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes issued pursuant to any Drawdown Notice will be identical. Each Bankers’ Acceptance and BA Equivalent Note will be dated the Drawdown Date on which it is issued and will be for a term of one month provided that in no event will the term of a Bankers’ Acceptance or a BA Equivalent Note extend beyond the Maturity Date. The face amount of the Draft (or the aggregate face amount of the Drafts) to be accepted at any time by each Lender which is a BA Lender, and the face amount of the BA Equivalent Notes to be purchased at any time by each Lender which is a Non BA Lender, will be determined by the Agent based upon the amounts of their respective Commitments under the Canadian Revolving Facility. In determining a Lender’s Proportionate Share of a request for Bankers’ Acceptances, the Agent, in its sole discretion, will be entitled to increase or decrease the face amount of any Draft, or BA Equivalent Note to the nearest $1,000.

(4)

Each BA Lender will complete and accept on the applicable Drawdown Date a Draft having a face amount (or Drafts having the face amounts) and term advised by the Agent pursuant to Section 5.01(3). Each applicable BA Lender will purchase on the applicable Drawdown Date the Bankers’ Acceptance or Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by it, for an aggregate price equal to the BA Discount Proceeds of such Bankers’ Acceptance (or Bankers’ Acceptances). The Canadian Borrower will ensure that there is delivered to each applicable BA Lender that is a member of a clearing service such Drafts as are consistent with the requirements of the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada), and such BA Lender is hereby authorized to release the Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by it to such clearing house upon receipt of confirmation that such clearing house holds such Bankers’ Acceptance for the account of such BA Lender.

(5)

Each Non BA Lender, in lieu of accepting Drafts or purchasing Bankers’ Acceptances on any Drawdown Date, will complete and purchase from the Canadian Borrower on such Drawdown Date a BA Equivalent Note in a face amount and for a term identical to the face amount and term of the Draft or Drafts which such Non BA Lender would have been required to accept on such Drawdown Date if it were a BA Lender, for a price equal to the BA Discount Proceeds of such BA Equivalent Note. Each Non BA Lender will be entitled without charge to exchange any BA Equivalent Note held by it for two or more BA Equivalent Notes of identical date and aggregate face amount, and the Canadian Borrower will execute and deliver to such Non BA Lender such replacement BA Equivalent Notes in exchange for which such Non BA Lender will return the original BA Equivalent Note to the Canadian Borrower for cancellation.

(6)

The Canadian Borrower will pay to each BA Lender in respect of each Draft tendered by the Canadian Borrower to and accepted by such BA Lender, and to each Non BA Lender in respect of each BA Equivalent Note tendered to and purchased by such Non BA Lender, as a condition of such acceptance or purchase, the BA Stamping Fee.

(7)

Upon acceptance of each Draft or purchase of each BA Equivalent Note, the Canadian Borrower will pay to the applicable Lender the related fee specified in Section 5.01(6), and to facilitate payment such Lender will be entitled to deduct and retain for its own account the amount of such fee from the amount to be transferred by such Lender to the Agent for the account of the Canadian Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the sale of the related Bankers’ Acceptance or of such BA Equivalent Note.

- 72 -

ARTICLE 5

(8)

If the Agent (on instruction from the Majority Lenders) determines in good faith, which determination will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Canadian Borrower, and so notifies the Canadian Borrower, that there does not exist at the applicable time a normal market in Canada for the purchase and sale of bankers’ acceptances, any right of the Canadian Borrower to require the Lenders to purchase Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes under this Agreement will be suspended until the Agent determines that such market does exist and gives notice thereof to the Canadian Borrower and any Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice requesting Bankers’ Acceptances will be deemed to be a Drawdown Notice or Conversion Notice requesting a Prime Rate Advance in a similar aggregate principal amount.

(9)

On the date of maturity of each Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, the Canadian Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the holder of such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, in Canadian Dollars an amount equal to the face amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, as the case may be. In the case of a Rollover of a Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, in order to satisfy the continuing liability of the applicable Borrower to a Lender for the face amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, the Lender will determine and retain the BA Discount Proceeds of the new Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, and the Canadian Borrower will, on the maturity date of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, pay to the Agent for the account of the relevant Lender (i) the difference between the principal amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note and the BA Discount Proceeds from the new Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note and (ii) the BA Stamping Fee in respect of the new Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note. The obligation of the Canadian Borrower to make such payment will not be prejudiced by the fact that the holder of such Bankers’ Acceptance is the Lender that accepted such Bankers’ Acceptances. No days of grace will be claimed by the Canadian Borrower for the payment at maturity of any Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note. If the Canadian Borrower does not make such payment, from the proceeds of an Advance obtained under this Agreement or otherwise, the amount of such required payment will be deemed to be a Prime Rate Advance to the Canadian Borrower from the Lender that accepted such Banker’s Acceptance or purchased such BA Equivalent Note.

(10)

The signature of any duly authorized officer of the Canadian Borrower on a Draft or a BA Equivalent Note may be mechanically reproduced in facsimile, and all Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes bearing such facsimile signature will be as binding upon the Canadian Borrower as if they had been manually signed by such officer, notwithstanding that such Person whose manual or facsimile signature appears on such Draft or BA Equivalent Note may no longer hold office at the date of such Draft or BA Equivalent Note or at the date of acceptance of such Draft by a BA Lender or at any time thereafter.

ARTICLE 5

5.02	Letters of Credit under the Revolving Facilities

(1)

If the Canadian Borrower wishes to request an Advance by way of issuance of Letters of Credit, the Canadian Borrower will, at the time it delivers the notice required pursuant to Section 2.11(2), notify the Agent of the identity of the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender and, subject to the Agent’s approval of such Canadian Issuing Lender, execute and deliver the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender’s usual documentation relating to the issuance and administration of Letters of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of such documentation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail.

(2)	Each request for a Letter of Credit under the Canadian Revolving Facility will be made available by a Canadian Issuing Lender.

(3)

No Letter of Credit may be issued under the Canadian Revolving Facility for a period in excess of eighteen (18) months. No Letter of Credit may be issued under the Canadian Revolving Facility for a period in excess of nine (9) months beyond the Maturity Date, and on the Maturity Date cash collateral therefor will be deposited with the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 5.02(11). Other than the NBC Letter of Credit, Letters of Credit may not be used to secure trading facilities with financial institutions that are not suppliers of natural gas or electricity in the ordinary course.

(4)	If, at any time, a demand for payment (the amount so demanded being herein referred to as a “relevant amount” for purposes of this Section 5.02) is made under a Letter of Credit and notification thereof is given by the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender to the Agent, then:

(a)	the Agent will:

(i)	promptly notify the Canadian Borrower and each of the other Canadian Lenders of such demand; and

(ii)	make demand on each Canadian Lender for an amount equal to its Proportionate Share of such relevant amount;

(b)	on the second Business Day following the date of the demand made by the Agent under Subsection (a) above, each Canadian Lender will pay to the Agent the amount demanded of it pursuant to Subsection (a)(ii) above; and

(c)

the Agent will pay such relevant amount to the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender and the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender will pay such relevant amount together with the balance of the amount demanded to the Person entitled thereto on the date upon which such relevant amount becomes payable under the Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms.

(5)	The Canadian Borrower will be deemed to have requested a Prime Rate Advance or US Base Rate Advance, as applicable, of the amount demanded from the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit.

(6)

The Canadian Borrower hereby undertakes to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each Canadian Issuing Lender and each of the Lenders from time to time on demand by the Agent from and against all liabilities and costs in connection with any Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, any costs incurred in funding any amount which falls due from any Canadian Issuing Lender and any Lender under any Letter of Credit hereunder but without duplication of costs in respect of which such Canadian Issuing Lender has already been compensated by the fees and charges applicable to Letters of Credit) except where such liabilities or costs result from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the person claiming indemnification.

- 74 -

ARTICLE 5

(7)

Each Canadian Issuing Lender will at all times be entitled, and is irrevocably authorized by the Canadian Borrower, to make any payment under Letters of Credit issued by it for which a request or demand has been made in the required form without any further reference to the Canadian Borrower and any investigation or enquiry, need not concern itself with the propriety or validity of any claim made or purported to be made under the terms of such Letter of Credit (except as to compliance with the payment conditions of such Letters of Credit) and will be entitled to assume that any Person expressed in such Letter of Credit as being entitled to make demand or receive payments thereunder is so entitled. Accordingly, so long as a request or demand has been made as aforementioned, and subject to the preceding sentence, it will not be a defence to any demand made of the Canadian Borrower hereunder, nor will the Canadian Borrower or its obligations hereunder be impaired by the fact (if it be the case) that such Canadian Issuing Lender was or might have been justified in refusing payment, in whole or in part, of the amounts so claimed.

(8)

A certificate of the Agent and/or the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender as to the amounts paid by any Canadian Lender pursuant to this Section 5.02 or the amount paid out under any Letter of Credit will, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amount of such payment in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection herewith.

(9)

The Canadian Borrower will pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Canadian Lenders a fee equal to the Letter of Credit Fee Rate on the amount of each Letter of Credit in Canadian Dollars or US Dollars, as applicable, (the “LC Fee”) quarterly in arrears beginning on the first of each Fiscal Quarter following the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. In addition, for so long as any Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Canadian Borrower will pay to the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender, for its sole benefit, a fee equal to [PERCENTAGE REDACTED] of the face amount of each Letter of Credit in Canadian Dollars or US Dollars, as applicable, in advance beginning on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Such fees will be calculated on the basis of a calendar year and the number of days the Letter of Credit will be outstanding during such period. The Canadian Borrower will also pay the standard fees and charges of the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender in effect from time to time for issuing and renewing Letters of Credit (all such fees to be non-refundable). Each Canadian Issuing Lender will be entitled to charge a cancellation fee of [AMOUNT REDACTED] per cancelled Letter of Credit.

(10)	The full face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by each Canadian Issuing Lender on behalf of the Canadian Borrower will be deemed to be an Advance under the Canadian Revolving Facility, as the case may be, which Advance will be retired upon the earlier of:

- 75 -

ARTICLE 5

(a)	the return of the Letter of Credit to such Canadian Issuing Lender for cancellation;

(b)	the cancellation of the Letter of Credit by such Canadian Issuing Lender in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit;

(c)	the deeming of the amount drawn on the Letter of Credit to be a Prime Rate Advance or a US Base Rate Advance, as applicable, under the Canadian Revolving Facility.

(11)

If any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or on the Maturity Date, the Canadian Borrower will if required by the Lenders forthwith pay to the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender an amount (such amount being herein referred to as a “deposit amount” for purposes of this Section 5.02) equal to the undrawn principal amount of the outstanding Letter of Credit, which deposit amount will be held by such Canadian Issuing Lender in an interest bearing account bearing interest at a prevailing rate offered by such Canadian Issuing Lender for deposits as determined by the such Canadian Issuing Lender, acting reasonably for application against the indebtedness owing by the Canadian Borrower to the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender in respect of any draw on the outstanding Letter of Credit. In the event that the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender is not called upon to make full payment on the outstanding Letter of Credit prior to its expiry date, the deposit amount (including all accrued interest thereon) or any part thereof as has not been paid out, will, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be returned as soon as practicable following such expiry date to the Canadian Borrower.

(12)	The obligations of the Canadian Borrower with respect to Letters of Credit will be unconditional and irrevocable, and will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(a)	any lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or the Letters of Credit;

ARTICLE 5

It is understood and agreed that no Canadian Issuing Lender will have any liability for, and that the Canadian Borrower assumes all responsibility for: (i) the genuineness of any signature; (ii) the form, validity, genuineness, falsification and legal effect of any draft, certification or other document required by a Letter of Credit or the authority of the Person signing the same (which on its face complies with the terms of such Letter of Credit); (iii) the failure of any instrument to bear any reference or adequate reference to a Letter of Credit or the failure of any Persons to note the amount of any instrument on the reverse of a Letter of Credit or to surrender a Letter of Credit; (iv) the good faith or acts of any Person other than the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender and its agents and employees; (v) the existence, form or sufficiency or breach or default under any agreement or instruments of any nature whatsoever (which on its face complies with the terms of such Letter of Credit); (vi) any delay in giving or failure to give any notice, demand or protest; and (vii) any error, omission, delay in or non-delivery of any notice or other communication, however sent. The determination as to whether the required documents are presented prior to the expiration of a Letter of Credit and whether such other documents are in proper and sufficient form for compliance with a Letter of Credit will be made by the applicable Canadian Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, which determination will be conclusive and binding upon the Canadian Borrower absent manifest error. It is agreed that any Canadian Issuing Lender may honour, as complying with the terms of a Letter of Credit and this Agreement, any documents otherwise in order and signed or issued by the beneficiary thereof. Any action, inaction or omission on the part of any Canadian Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related instruments or documents, if in good faith and in conformity with such laws, regulations or commercial or banking customs as such Canadian Issuing Lender may reasonably deem to be applicable, will be binding upon the Canadian Borrower, and will not affect, impair or prevent the vesting of such Canadian Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder or the Canadian Borrower’s obligation to make full reimbursement of amounts drawn under the Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the provision of this Section 5.02(12), the Canadian Borrower will not be responsible for and no Person will be relieved of responsibility for any gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Person.

(13)

In respect of Advances by way of issuance of Letters of Credit by the US Issuing Lender on behalf of the US Borrower, the provisions of this Section 5.02 and defined terms referenced therein will be applicable to such Advances mutatis mutandis and all references in this Section 5.02 to the Canadian Borrower will be deemed to be references to the US Borrower, all references to a Canadian Issuing Lender will be deemed to be references to the US Issuing Lender, all references to the Canadian Revolving Facility will be deemed to be references to the US Revolving Facility. All references to the Canadian Lenders will be deemed to be references to the US Lenders and all references to Prime Rate and US Base Rate shall be references to US Prime Rate.

The parties hereto agree that each of the Existing CIBC Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued by CIBC hereunder and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that such Letters of Credit shall benefit from the Security and the indemnities of the Borrowers and the Lenders herein in respect of same.

(15)

Notwithstanding any provision of the Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Canadian Borrower may request Advances by way of issuance of Letters of Credit by the Canadian Issuing Lender in Pound Sterling or Euros. For the purposes of determining the face amount of any Letter of Credit that is issued in Pound Sterling or Euros (including without limitation, for the purposes of Section 2.09(1) and for the purposes of determining the LC Fee in accordance with Section 5.02(9)), the face amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars on the date of such determination. The provisions of this Section 5.02 (including all defined terms referenced herein) will be applicable to Letters of Credit issued in Pound Sterling and Euros mutatis mutandis.

ARTICLE 5

5.03	Letters of Credit under the LC Facility

(1) If a Borrower wishes to request an Advance by way of issuance of Letters of Credit, such Borrower will, at the time it delivers the notice required pursuant to Section 2.11(2), execute and deliver the LC Lender’s usual documentation relating to the issuance and administration of Letters of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of such documentation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail.

(2) Each request for a Letter of Credit under the LC Facility will be made available by the LC Lender; provided that EDC has issued and delivered to the LC Lender any EDC Documents required by the LC Lender, such EDC Documents to be in form and substance satisfactory to the LC Lender, with respect to such Letter of Credit and provided further that the amount of such Letter of Credit, together with the aggregate amount of all other Letters of Credit issued under the LC Facility, does not, in the aggregate, exceed the LC Facility Amount.

(3) No Letter of Credit may be issued under the LC Facility for a period in excess of eighteen (18) months. No Letter of Credit may be issued under the LC Facility for a period in excess of nine (9) months beyond the Maturity Date, and on the Maturity Date cash collateral therefor will be deposited with the LC Lender in accordance with Section 5.03(10). Other than the NBC Letter of Credit, Letters of Credit may not be used to secure trading facilities with financial institutions that are not suppliers of natural gas or electricity in the ordinary course. No Letter of Credit will be issued under the LC Facility which is not in compliance with any requirements or provisions of the EDC Documents.

(4) If, at any time, a demand for payment (the amount so demanded being herein referred to as a “relevant amount” for purposes of this Section 5.03) is made under a Letter of Credit and notification thereof is given by the LC Lender to the Agent, then:

(a)	the Agent will promptly notify the applicable Borrower of such demand;

(b)	the LC Lender will pay such relevant amount together with the balance of the amount demanded to the Person entitled thereto on the date upon which such relevant amount becomes payable under the Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms; and

(c)

the LC Lender will notify EDC in accordance with the EDC Documents that it has made such payment under such Letter of Credit, and request that EDC pay such relevant amount to the LC Lender in accordance with the applicable EDC Guarantee. In the event that EDC has made a payment to the LC Lender pursuant to any EDC Guarantee in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by the LC Lender, EDC shall obtain all of the rights and benefits of the LC Lender under this Agreement to the extent of such payment and shall be subrogated to the rights of the LC Lender to the extent of such payment.

- 78 -

ARTICLE 5

(5) The Borrowers hereby undertake to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and the LC Lender from time to time on demand by the Agent from and against all liabilities and costs in connection with any Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, any costs incurred in funding any amount which falls due from the LC Lender under any Letter of Credit hereunder but without duplication of costs in respect of which the LC Lender has already been compensated by the fees and charges applicable to Letters of Credit) except where such liabilities or costs result from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the person claiming indemnification.

(6) The LC Lender will at all times be entitled, and is irrevocably authorized by the Borrowers, to make any payment under Letters of Credit issued by it for which a request or demand has been made in the required form without any further reference to the applicable Borrower and any investigation or enquiry, need not concern itself with the propriety or validity of any claim made or purported to be made under the terms of such Letter of Credit (except as to compliance with the payment conditions of such Letters of Credit) and will be entitled to assume that any Person expressed in such Letter of Credit as being entitled to make demand or receive payments thereunder is so entitled. Accordingly, so long as a request or demand has been made as aforementioned, and subject to the preceding sentence, it will not be a defence to any demand made of the Borrowers hereunder, nor will the Borrowers or their obligations hereunder be impaired by the fact (if it be the case) that the LC Lender was or might have been justified in refusing payment, in whole or in part, of the amounts so claimed.

(7) A certificate of the Agent and/or the LC Lender as to the amounts paid by any LC Lender pursuant to this Section 5.03 or the amount paid out under any Letter of Credit will, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amount of such payment in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection herewith.

(8) The applicable Borrower will pay to the Agent for the benefit of the LC Lender the LC Fee quarterly in arrears beginning on the first of each Fiscal Quarter following the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. In addition, for so long as any Letter of Credit is outstanding, the applicable Borrower will pay to the LC Lender a fee equal to [PERCENTAGE REDACTED] of the face amount of each Letter of Credit in Canadian Dollars or US Dollars, as applicable, in advance beginning on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Such fees will be calculated on the basis of a calendar year and the number of days the Letter of Credit will be outstanding during such period. The Borrowers will also pay the standard fees and charges of the LC Lender in effect from time to time for issuing and renewing Letters of Credit (all such fees to be non-refundable). The LC Lender will be entitled to charge a cancellation fee of [AMOUNT REDACTED] per cancelled Letter of Credit.

(9) The full face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by the LC Lender on behalf of a Borrower will be deemed to be an Advance under the LC Facility, which Advance will be retired upon the earlier of:

(a)	the return of the Letter of Credit to the LC Lender for cancellation; or

(b)	the cancellation of the Letter of Credit by the LC Lender in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit.

- 79 -

ARTICLE 5

(10) If any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or on the Maturity Date, the Borrowers will if required by the LC Lender forthwith pay to the LC Lender an amount (such amount being herein referred to as a “deposit amount” for purposes of this Section 5.03) equal to the undrawn principal amount of the outstanding Letter of Credit, which deposit amount will be held by the LC Lender in an interest bearing account bearing interest at a prevailing rate offered by the LC Lender for deposits as determined by the LC Lender, acting reasonably for application against the indebtedness owing by the Borrowers to the LC Lender in respect of any draw on the outstanding Letter of Credit. In the event that the LC Lender is not called upon to make full payment on the outstanding Letter of Credit prior to the date which is 90 days after its expiry date, the deposit amount (including all accrued interest thereon) or any part thereof as has not been paid out, will, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be returned as soon as practicable following such expiry date to the Borrowers.

(11) The obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Letters of Credit will be unconditional and irrevocable, and will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(a)	any lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or the Letters of Credit;

(b)	any amendment or waiver of or any consent to or actual departure from this Agreement;

(c)

the existence of any claim, set-off, defence or other right which a Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the LC Lender or any other Person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or in any other agreements or any unrelated transactions;

(d)	any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect except for non-compliance with the payment conditions of such Letter of Credit; or

(e)	any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

It is understood and agreed that the LC Lender will not have any liability for, and that the Borrowers assume all responsibility for: (i) the genuineness of any signature; (ii) the form, validity, genuineness, falsification and legal effect of any draft, certification or other document required by a Letter of Credit or the authority of the Person signing the same (which on its face complies with the terms of such Letter of Credit); (iii) the failure of any instrument to bear any reference or adequate reference to a Letter of Credit or the failure of any Persons to note the amount of any instrument on the reverse of a Letter of Credit or to surrender a Letter of Credit; (iv) the good faith or acts of any Person other than the LC Lender and its agents and employees; (v) the existence, form or sufficiency or breach or default under any agreement or instruments of any nature whatsoever (which on its face complies with the terms of such Letter of Credit); (vi) any delay in giving or failure to give any notice, demand or protest; and (vii) any error, omission, delay in or non-delivery of any notice or other communication, however sent. The determination as to whether the required documents are presented prior to the expiration of a Letter of Credit and whether such other documents are in proper and sufficient form for compliance with a Letter of Credit will be made by the LC Lender in its sole discretion, which determination will be conclusive and binding upon the Canadian Borrower absent manifest error. It is agreed that the LC Lender may honour, as complying with the terms of a Letter of Credit and this Agreement, any documents otherwise in order and signed or issued by the beneficiary thereof. Any action, inaction or omission on the part of the LC Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related instruments or documents, if in good faith and in conformity with such laws, regulations or commercial or banking customs as the LC Lender may reasonably deem to be applicable, will be binding upon the Borrowers, and will not affect, impair or prevent the vesting of the LC Lender’s rights or powers hereunder or the Borrowers’ obligation to make full reimbursement of amounts drawn under the Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the provision of this Section 5.03(11), the Borrowers will not be responsible for and no Person will be relieved of responsibility for any gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Person.

ARTICLE 5

(12) Notwithstanding any provision of the Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Borrowers may request Advances by way of issuance of Letters of Credit by the LC Lender in Pound Sterling or Euros. For the purposes of determining the face amount of any Letter of Credit that is issued in Pound Sterling or Euros (including without limitation, for the purposes of Section 2.09(6) and for the purposes of determining the LC Fee in accordance with Section 5.03(8)), the face amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars on the date of such determination. The provisions of this Section 5.03 (including all defined terms referenced herein) will be applicable to Letters of Credit issued in Pound Sterling and Euros mutatis mutandis.

PLACE AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

7.01	Place of Payment of Principal, Interest and Fees

(1)

The Canadian Borrower undertakes at all times that any Advance is outstanding to it or any other amount is owed by it under any Credit Document to maintain at the Agent’s Cdn. Payment Branch an account in Cdn. Dollars and an account in US Dollars, which the Agent will be entitled to debit with such amounts as are from time to time required to be paid by the Canadian Borrower under the Credit Documents, as and when such amounts are due, and that each such account will contain sufficient funds, or sufficient funds will be available under the Canadian Swingline Facility, for such purpose. Without in any way limiting the rights of the Agent pursuant to the foregoing, unless otherwise specifically agreed between the Canadian Borrower and the Agent, the Canadian Borrower hereby directs the Agent to debit the aforesaid accounts with such amounts as are from time to time required to be paid by the Canadian Borrower pursuant to Article 4, Article 5 and Article 6 of this Agreement. Following any such debit for non-scheduled fees, costs or expenses, the Agent will provide to the Canadian Borrower notice of the debit of such fees, costs or expenses and the reasons therefor.

- 84 -

ARTICLE 7

(2)

The US Borrower undertakes at all times that any Advance is outstanding to it or any other amount is owed by it under any Credit Document to maintain at the Agent’s US Payment Branch an account in US Dollars which the Agent will be entitled to debit with such amounts as are from time to time required to be paid by the US Borrower under the Credit Documents, as and when such amounts are due, and that such account will contain sufficient funds, or sufficient funds will be available under the US Swingline Facility, for such purpose. Without in any way limiting the rights of the Agent pursuant to the foregoing, unless otherwise specifically agreed between the US Borrower and the Agent, the US Borrower hereby directs the Agent to debit the aforesaid accounts with such amounts as are from time to time required to be paid by the US Borrower pursuant to Article 4, Article 5 and Article 6 of this Agreement. Following any such debit for non-scheduled fees, costs or expenses, the Agent will provide to the US Borrower notice of the debit of such fees, costs or expenses and the reasons therefor.

(3)

All payments by the Canadian Borrower under any Credit Document, unless otherwise expressly provided in such Credit Document, will be made to the Agent at the Agent’s Cdn. Payment Branch, or at such other location as may be agreed upon by the Agent and the Canadian Borrower, for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment, not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) for value on the date when due, and will be made in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim.

(4)

All payments by the US Borrower under any Credit Document, unless otherwise expressly provided in such Credit Document, will be made to the Agent at the Agent’s US Payment Branch, or such other location as may be agreed upon between the Agent and the US Borrower, not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) for value on the date when due, and will be made in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim.

(5)

Unless the Agent will have been notified by a Borrower not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) of the Business Day prior to the date on which any payment to be made by such Borrower under a Credit Document is due that such Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Agent will be entitled to assume that such Borrower has remitted or will remit such payment when so due and the Agent may (but will not be obliged to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each applicable Lender on such payment date such Lender’s share of such assumed payment. If such Borrower does not in fact remit such payment to the Agent as required by such Credit Document, each applicable Lender will immediately repay to the Agent on demand the amount so made available to such Lender, together with interest on such amount at the Interbank Reference Rate, in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid in immediately available funds to the Agent, and such Borrower will immediately pay to the Agent on demand such amounts as are sufficient to compensate the Agent and the Lenders for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any interest paid to lenders of funds) which the Agent may sustain in making any such amounts available to the Lenders or which any Lender may sustain in receiving any such amount from, and in repaying any such amount to, the Agent or in compensating the Agent as aforesaid. A certificate of the Agent as to any amounts payable by a Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence and containing reasonable details of the calculation of such amounts will be prima facie evidence of the amounts so payable.

- 85 -

ARTICLE 7

(6)

If any amount which has been received by the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on any Business Day as provided above is not paid by the Agent to a Lender on such Business Day as required under this Agreement, the Agent will immediately pay to such Lender on demand interest on such amount at the Interbank Reference Rate in respect of each day from and including the day such amount was required to be paid by the Agent to such Lender to the day such amount is so paid. For greater certainty, the Borrowers have no obligation to reimburse the Agent for any such amounts.

7.02	Netting of Payments

If, on any date, amounts would be due and payable under this Agreement in the same currency by the Borrowers to the Lenders, or any one of them, and by the Lenders, or such Lender, to a Borrower, then, on such date, upon notice from the Agent or such Lender stating that netting is to apply to such payments, the obligations of each such party to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by a Borrower to the Lenders, or such Lender, exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the Lenders, or such Lender, to a Borrower or vice versa, such obligations will be replaced by an obligation upon whichever of a Borrower or the Lenders, or such Lender, would have had to pay the larger aggregate amount to pay to the other the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount. For greater certainty, prior to acceleration of repayment pursuant to Section 11.02, this Section 7.02 will not permit any Lender to exercise a right of set-off, combination or similar right against any amount which a Borrower may have on deposit with such Lender in respect of any amount to which netting is to apply pursuant to this Section 7.02, but will apply only to determine the net amount to be payable by the Lenders or one of them to a Borrower, or by a Borrower to the Lenders or one of them.

The Canadian Borrower will and will cause each other Obligor to provide sufficient notice to the Agent of any change of name or adoption of a French form of name or change of jurisdiction of incorporation or formation of any Obligor, in order for the Agent to preserve the security interests created hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Canadian Borrower will and will cause each other Obligor to, at the request of the Agent, cause to be subordinated, secured and (so long as an Event of Default exists) postponed any or all Existing Intercompany Debt and Future Intercompany Debt and will enter into such instruments as the Collateral Agent deems necessary to effect such postponement and subordination and to subject such Existing Intercompany Debt and Future Intercompany Debt to the Encumbrances of the Security including, without limitation, the Restricted Subsidiary Subordination Agreement.

The Canadian Borrower will pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the principal amount of any unmatured Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note or the face amount of any unexpired Letter of Credit if demand is made pursuant to Section 11.02. Failing such payment the Agent on behalf of the Lenders will have the option at any time without notice to the Borrowers to give notice to the Canadian Lenders to make an Advance to the Canadian Borrower equal to the principal amount of all unmatured Bankers’ Acceptances and the face amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit issued at the request of the Canadian Borrower or to the US Lenders to make an Advance to the US Borrower equal to the face amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit issued at the request of the US Borrower. The proceeds of such Advances will be held by the Agent in interest bearing cash collateral accounts for the benefit of the Canadian Borrower or the US Borrower, as the case may be, bearing interest at a prevailing rate offered by the Agent for deposits as determined by the Agent, acting reasonably and will be applied in payment of such Bankers’ Acceptances as they mature and such Letters of Credit if payment is required thereunder or otherwise as the Agent may require. The Borrowers will execute and deliver as security for such Advances all such security as the Lenders may deem necessary or advisable in connection therewith including, without limitation, an assignment of credit balance in respect of such cash collateral accounts.

Remedies Cumulative and Waivers

For greater certainty, it is expressly understood and agreed that the respective rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document or instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by law or by equity; and any single or partial exercise by the Lenders or by the Agent of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement or other document or instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of or to alter, affect or prejudice any other right or remedy or other rights or remedies to which any one or more of the Lenders and the Agent may be lawfully entitled for such default or breach. Any waiver by the Lenders or the Agent of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any term, covenant, condition or other matter contained herein and any indulgence granted, either expressly or by course of conduct, by the Lenders or the Agent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given and will be deemed not to be a waiver of any rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement as a result of any other default or breach hereunder or thereunder.

11.05

Termination of Lenders’ Obligations

The occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived by the Lenders will relieve the Lenders of all obligations to provide any further Advances hereunder whether by Rollover, Conversion or otherwise, by way of Bankers’ Acceptances (and BA Equivalent Notes), LIBOR Advances or Letters of Credit; provided that the foregoing will not prevent the Lenders from disbursing money hereunder in reduction of then outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances and Letters of Credit. For greater certainty any such Advances will be at the sole discretion of the Lenders. The Agent may reallocate all Advances pro rata among the Lenders in such manner as the Agent determines is equitable.

Perform Obligations

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if any Borrower has failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements in the Credit Documents, the Majority Lenders, may, but will be under no obligation to, instruct the Agent on behalf of the Lenders to perform any such covenants or agreements in any manner deemed fit by the Majority Lenders without thereby waiving any rights to enforce the Credit Documents. The reasonable expenses (including any legal costs) paid by the Agent and the Lenders in respect of the foregoing will be an Obligation and will be secured by the Security.

Third Parties

No Person dealing with the Lenders or any agent of the Lenders will be concerned to inquire whether the Security has become enforceable, or whether the powers which the Lenders, the Agent or the Collateral Agent are purporting to exercise have been exercisable, or whether any Obligations remain outstanding upon the security thereof, or as to the necessity or expediency of the stipulations and conditions subject to which any sale will be made, or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of any sale or other disposition or any other dealing with the collateral charged by such Security or any part thereof.

11.09

Set-Off or Compensation

(1)

In addition to and not in limitation of any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law, if repayment is accelerated pursuant to Section 11.02, the Lenders, or any of them, may at any time and from time to time without notice to the Borrowers or any other Person, any notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers, set-off and compensate and apply any and all deposits, general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, matured or unmatured, and any other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lenders, or any of them, to or for the credit of or the account of such Borrower, against and on account of the Obligations notwithstanding that any of them are contingent or unmatured. Any Lender exercising a right of set-off will thereafter comply with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement respecting such set-off. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due and payable with respect to any Advance which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due and payable to such other Lender with respect to such Advance, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Advances held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Advances held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata.

ARTICLE 11

(2)

Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the proviso below, each Lender may exercise set-off with respect to any obligations owing by it as a Lender Hedge Provider to any Obligor against any Obligations owing to it as a Lender or as a Lender Hedge Provider; provided however that any Lender who has entered into Commodity Xxxxxx with any Obligor where such Lender is also a supplier of natural gas or electricity to any Obligor, shall not set-off any obligations owing by it to any Obligor under a Commodity Hedge against any Obligations owing to it as a Lender or as a Lender Hedge Provider under any Xxxxxx other than Commodity Xxxxxx.

The Borrowers agree that, at any time after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written request delivered by the Agent, it will appoint a financial consultant (hereinafter referred to as the “Consultant”) for the purposes of reviewing the operations of the Obligors from time to time thereafter. The terms of the Consultant’s scope of duties will be settled by the Borrowers with the consent of the Agent and the Lenders, acting reasonably, provided that such terms may be settled by the Agent and the Lenders if agreement with the Borrowers is not reached within 5 days of the date of the Agent’s request on behalf of the Lenders.

(1)

any failure by any Borrower to fulfil any of its Obligations including, without limitation, any cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment in whole or in part of deposits or other funds required by any Lender to fund any Bankers’ Acceptance, BA Equivalent Note, or Letter of Credit or to fund or maintain its Proportionate Share of any Advance as a result of a Borrower’s failure to complete a Drawdown or to make any payment, repayment or prepayment on the date required hereunder or specified by it in any notice given hereunder;

(8)	in connection with the use of any credit facility proceeds, or the consummation of any transaction contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

A certificate of a Lender or the Agent as to the amount of any such loss or expense will be prima facie evidence as to the amount thereof, in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section will survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Obligations.

The Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers hereby appoint CIBC to act as their agent as herein specified and, except as may be specifically provided to the contrary herein, each of the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers hereby irrevocably authorizes CIBC, as the agent of such Lender and Lender Hedge Provider, to enter into on its behalf and thereafter take such action on its behalf under or in connection with the Credit Documents and to exercise such powers thereunder as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto which it may be necessary for the Agent to exercise in order that the provisions of the Credit Documents are carried out. The Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Agent in its capacity as Agent and as Collateral Agent is the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney from the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers for the purpose of holding any of the Security or any other security granted by any Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrowers under the Credit Documents, and the Agent hereby agrees to act in such capacity. The Agent may perform any of its duties under the Credit Documents by or through its agents and may delegate its duties to an Affiliate or a Subsidiary. The Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers hereby acknowledge that CIBC is acting both as Agent hereunder and as Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and acknowledge that if CIBC perceives any conflict in acting in both such capacities it may resign as Collateral Agent without resigning as Agent hereunder. The Borrowers will not be concerned to inquire whether the powers which the Agent is purporting to exercise have become exercisable or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of any other action on the part of the Agent, and accordingly insofar as the Borrowers are concerned the Agent will for all purposes hereof be deemed to have authority from the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers to exercise the powers and take the actions which are in fact exercised and taken by it.

Indemnity from Lenders

The Lenders agree, based on their Proportionate Share, to indemnify the Agent (to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed by the Borrowers on demand) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any nature or kind whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as agent hereunder which in any way relate to or arise out of the Credit Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Credit Documents; provided that no Lender will be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements which result from the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Neither the Agent (in its capacity as Agent and not as a Lender) nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with the Credit Documents, unless such act or omission constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The duties of the Agent will be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent will not have by reason of the Credit Documents a fiduciary relationship with any Lender and nothing in the Credit Documents, express or implied, is intended to or will be construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligation except as expressly set forth therein. None of the Lenders will have any duties or responsibilities to any of the other Lenders except as expressly set forth in the Credit Documents. The Agent will not be responsible for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties in any of the Credit Documents or which may be contained in any other document subsequently received by the Agent or the Lenders from or on behalf of any Obligor or for the authorization, execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents, and will not be required to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by any Obligor of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of any of the Credit Documents. Each of the Lenders severally represents and warrants to the Agent that it has made and will continue to make such independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Obligors as such Lender deems appropriate in connection with its entering into of any of the Credit Documents and the making and continuance of any Advance hereunder, that such Lender has and will continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Obligors and that such Lender in connection with such investigation and appraisal has not relied upon any information provided to such Lender by the Agent.

Reliance on Information

The Agent will be entitled to rely upon any writing, notice, statement, certificate, facsimile, telex or other document or communication believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Credit Documents and its duties thereunder, upon the advice of counsel selected by it.

13.05

Knowledge and Required Action

The Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Pending Event of Default (other than the non-payment of any principal, interest or other amount to the extent the same is required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower specifying such Event of Default or Pending Event of Default and stating that such notice is given pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, it will give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent will also give prompt notice to the Lenders of each non-payment of any amount required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders. The Agent will, subject to Section 13.06 take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Pending Event of Default as will be directed by the Lenders in accordance with this Article 13 provided that, unless and until the Agent will have received such direction the Agent may, but will not be obliged to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Pending Event of Default as it will deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders; and provided further that the Agent in any case will not be required to take any such action which it determines to be contrary to the Credit Documents or to any Applicable Law.

13.06

Request for Instructions

The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of any of the Credit Documents, the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and the Agent will be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any such action or to withhold any such approval and will not be under any liability whatsoever as a result thereof until it will have received such instructions from the Lenders. No Lender will have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Credit Documents in accordance with instructions from the Lenders. The Agent will in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take or continue any action under the Credit Documents unless it will have received further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 13.02 against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action, and unless it will be secured in respect thereof as it may deem appropriate.

The Agent Individually

With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made available by it and the Credit Documents to which it is a party and its acting as a Canadian Issuing Lender, US Issuing Lender, the LC Lender, Canadian Swingline Lender and US Swingline Lender, CIBC and CIBC US will have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lenders” will, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, includes both CIBC and CIBC US in their individual capacity. It is understood and agreed by all of the Lenders that CIBC and CIBC US, either directly or through their Affiliates, from time to time accept deposits from, lend money to, provide underwriting, consulting and advisory services to, and generally engage in banking, securities, advisory and other related and ancillary businesses with the Obligors and their Affiliates otherwise than as a Lender under the Credit Documents and may continue to do so as if CIBC were not the Agent under the Credit Documents and will have no duty to account to any of the Lenders with respect to any such dealings.

13.08

Resignation and Termination

If at any time (i) the Agent will deem it advisable, in its sole discretion, it may deliver to each of the Lenders and the Borrowers written notification of its resignation insofar as it acts on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to this Article, or (ii) the Agent is in default of any of its obligations hereunder and the Majority Lenders will deem it advisable, in their sole discretion, they may deliver to the Agent and the Borrowers written notification of the termination of the Agent’s authority to act on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to this Article, such resignation or termination to be effective upon the date of the appointment by the Lenders of a successor which will assume all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Agent hereunder, which appointment will be promptly made from among the remaining Lenders and written notice thereof will be given to the Borrowers concurrently with such appointment. If in the case of resignation by the Agent no appointment of a successor Agent has been made by the Lenders and approved by the Borrowers within 30 days, the resigning Agent may make such appointment from among the remaining Lenders on behalf of the Lenders, subject to such Lender agreeing to act as Agent, and will forthwith give notice of such appointment to the Lenders and the Borrowers.

13.09

Actions by Lenders

(1)

Any consent, approval (including without limitation any approval of or authorization for any amendment to any of the Credit Documents), instruction or other expression of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents may be obtained by an instrument in writing signed in one or more counterparts by the Majority Lenders, or where required by Section 13.09(2) all of the Lenders (which instrument in writing, for greater certainty, may be delivered by facsimile).

- 123 -

ARTICLE 13

(2)	Notwithstanding Sections 13.09(1), without the consent of all the Lenders the Agent may not take the following actions:

(a)

amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the terms of this Agreement if such amendment, modification, discharge, termination or waiver would increase the amount of the Credit Facilities or the Commitments, reduce the fees payable, interest rates or Applicable Margin with respect to the Credit Facilities, extend any date fixed for payment of principal or interest relating to the Credit Facilities, extend the repayment dates of the Credit Facilities, change the type or currency of Advances available or the notice periods, or change the definition of Majority Lenders;

(b)	discharge, terminate or waive any material part of the Security, or amend any of the Security in a manner that would have that effect, other than pursuant to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 9.04(1), 9.04(22) or 9.05 thereof);

(c)	amend this Section 13.09; and

(d)	amend Article 6.

(3)

An instrument in writing from the Majority Lenders or, where applicable, all of the Lenders as provided for in this Section 13.09 (any such instrument in writing being an “Approval Instrument”) will be binding upon all of the Lenders, and the Agent (subject to the provisions for its indemnity contained in this Agreement) will be bound to give effect thereto accordingly. For greater certainty, to the extent so authorized in the Approval Instrument, the Agent will be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver on behalf of the Agent and all of the Lenders, without the requirement for the execution by any other Lender or Lenders, any consents, waivers, documents or instruments (including without limitation any amendment to any of the Credit Documents) necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Agent to give effect to the matters approved by the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, in any Approval Instrument.

13.10

Provisions for Benefit of Lenders Only

The provisions of this Article 13, other than Sections 13.09 and 13.10 and the last sentence of Section 13.01 relating to the rights and obligations of the Lenders and the Agent inter se will be operative as between the Lenders and the Agent only, and the Obligors will not have any rights under or be entitled to rely for any purposes upon such provisions.

13.11

Payments by Agent

(1)	For greater certainty, the following provisions will apply to any and all payments made by the Agent to the Lenders hereunder:

(a)	the Agent will be under no obligation to make any payment (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) to any Lender until an amount in respect of such payment has been received by the Agent from a Borrower;

(b)

if the Agent receives less than the full amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount owing by a Borrower under this Agreement, then subject to Section 7.02 the Agent will have no obligation to remit to each Lender any amount other than such Lender’s Proportionate Share of that amount which is the amount actually received by the Agent;

- 124 -

ARTICLE 13

(c)	if any Lender advances more or less than its Proportionate Share of a Credit Facility, such Lender’s entitlement to such payment will be increased or reduced, as the case may be, in proportion to the amount actually advanced by such Lender;

(d)	the Agent acting reasonably and in good faith will, after consultation with the Lenders in the case of any dispute, determine in all cases the amount of all payments to which each Lender is entitled and such determination will, in the absence of manifest error, be binding and conclusive;

(e)	upon request, the Agent will deliver a statement detailing any of the payments to the Lenders referred to herein;

(f)	all payments by the Agent to a Lender hereunder will be made to such Lender at its address set forth in the signature pages on this Agreement or on the applicable Assignment Agreement unless notice to the contrary is received by the Agent from such Lender; and

(g)	the Agent will be entitled to round any Lender’s Proportionate Share of any repayment hereunder to the nearest $1,000 multiple.

(2)

Unless the Agent has actual knowledge that a Borrower has not made or will not make a payment to the Agent for value on the date in respect of which a Borrower has notified the Agent that the payment will be made and except to the extent that the Agent has received notice under Section 7.02, the Agent will be entitled to assume that such payment has been or will be received from such Borrower when due and the Agent may (but will not be obliged to), in reliance upon such assumption, pay the Lenders corresponding amounts. If the payment by a Borrower is in fact not received by the Agent on the required date and the Agent has made available corresponding amounts to the Lenders, such Borrower will, without limiting its other obligations under this Agreement, indemnify the Agent against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of profit), damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on or incurred by the Agent as a result. A certificate of the Agent with respect to any amount owing by a Borrower under this Section will be prima facie evidence of the amount owing in the absence of manifest error.

13.12

Direct Payments

The Lenders agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and except as necessary to adjust for Advances that are not in each Lender’s Proportionate Share under the applicable Credit Facilities, all sums received by a Lender relating to this Agreement or by virtue of the Security, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off or compensation (pursuant to Section 7.02, 11.09 or otherwise) or by counterclaim, cross-action or as proceeds of realization of any Security or otherwise, will be shared by each Lender in its Proportionate Share and each Lender undertakes to do all such things as may be reasonably required to give full effect to this Section, including without limitation, the purchase from other Lenders of a portion thereof by the Lender who has received an amount in excess of its Proportionate Share as will be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess amount rateably in its Proportionate Share with the other Lenders. If any sum which is so shared is later recovered from the Lenders who originally received it, the Lender will restore its Proportionate Share of such sum to such Lenders, without interest. If any Lender (a “Receiving Lender”) will obtain any payment of moneys due under this Agreement as referred to above, the Receiving Lender will forthwith remit such payment to the Agent and, upon receipt, the Agent will distribute such payment in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Acknowledgements, Representations and Covenants of Lenders

(1)

It is acknowledged and agreed by each Lender that it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition, creditworthiness, Property, affairs, status and nature of the Obligors. Accordingly, each Lender confirms to the Agent that it has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the Agent (a) to check or inquire on its behalf into the adequacy or completeness of any information provided by the Obligors under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions herein contemplated (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter distributed to such Lender by the Agent) or (b) to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, Property, affairs, status or nature of the Obligors.

(2)	Each Lender represents and warrants that it has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement pursuant to its charter and any applicable legislation and has not violated its charter, constating documents or any applicable legislation by so doing.

(3)

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), rateably according to its Proportionate Share of the Credit Facilities from and against any and all liabilities and obligations (whether direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise), losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Credit Documents or the transactions therein contemplated, provided that no Lender will be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and absent gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Agent, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand rateably according to its Proportionate Share of the Credit Facilities for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preservation of any rights of the Agent or the Lenders under, or the enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by either Borrower. The obligation of the Lenders to indemnify the Agent will survive the termination of this Agreement.

(4)

Each of the Lenders acknowledges and confirms that in the event that the Agent does not receive payment in accordance with this Agreement, it will not be the obligation of the Agent to maintain the Credit Facilities in good standing nor will any Lender have recourse to the Agent in respect of any amounts owing to such Lender under this Agreement.

- 126 -

ARTICLE 13

(5)	Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to advance its Proportionate Share of Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is independent and in no way related to the obligation of any other Lender hereunder.

(6)	Each Lender hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement and acknowledges that it is satisfied with the form and content of such document.

(7)

Except to the extent recovered by the Agent from the Borrowers, promptly following demand therefor, each Lender will pay to the Agent an amount equal to such Lender’s Proportionate Share of any and all reasonable costs, expenses, claims, losses and liabilities incurred by the Agent in connection with this Agreement except for those incurred by reason of the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(8)	Each Lender will respond promptly to each request by the Agent for the consent of such Lender required hereunder.

13.14

Rights of Agent

(1)

In administering the Credit Facilities, the Agent may retain, at the expense of the Lenders if such expenses are not recoverable from the Borrowers, such solicitors, counsel, auditors and other experts and agents as the Agent may select, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith after consultation with the Lenders. For greater certainty, the Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may retain collateral agents in the United States to hold collateral accounts for and on behalf of the Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. The Obligors agree to pay all fees, costs and expenses which the Agent and/or the Collateral Agent incurs in connection with the opening and maintaining of such collateral accounts in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(2)

The Agent will be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by the proper individual or individuals, and will be entitled to rely and will be protected in relying as to legal matters upon opinions of independent legal advisors selected by it. The Agent may also assume that any representation made by a Borrower is true and that no Event of Default or Pending Event of Default has occurred unless the officers or employees of the Lender acting as Agent, acting in their capacity as officers or employees responsible for such Borrower’s account, have actual knowledge to the contrary or have received notice to the contrary from any other party to this Agreement.

(3)

Except in its own right as a Lender, the Agent will not be required to advance its own funds for any purpose, and in particular, will not be required to pay with its own funds insurance premiums, taxes or public utility charges or the cost of repairs or maintenance with respect to the assets which are the subject matter of the Security, nor will it be required to pay with its own funds the fees of solicitors, counsel, auditors, experts or agents engaged by it as permitted hereby.

(4)	The Agent may round an individual Lender’s Proportionate Share of any Advance to the nearest $1,000 in Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars, as the case may be.

13.15

Collective Action of the Lenders

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

13.16

Non-Funding Lenders

(1)

Certain Fees. A Non-Funding Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Sections 4.06 and 4.07 for any period during which that Lender is a Non-Funding Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Non-Funding Lender). In addition, with respect to any such fees not required to be paid to any Non-Funding Lender, all fees payable to the Lenders, cash collateral maintained from time to time with respect to any Letters of Credit and proceeds of realization in respect of such Letters of Credit shall be payable by the Borrowers to and for the benefit of the Lenders excluding any Non-Funding Lender.

(2) Cash Collateral. Each Non-Funding Lender shall be required to provide to the Agent (A) cash collateral or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to 105% of such Non-Funding Lender’s Proportionate Share of the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit under the Revolving Facilities (the “L/C Fronting Exposure”), and (B) cash collateral or Cash Equivalents in an amount, as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent in its discretion, equal to all other obligations of such Non-Funding Lender to the Agent that are owing or may become owing pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, such Non-Funding Lender’s obligation to pay its Proportionate Share of any indemnification or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by a Borrower. Such cash collateral or Cash Equivalents shall be held by Agent in one or more cash collateral accounts which accounts shall be in the name of the Agent and shall not be required to be interest bearing. The Agent shall be entitled to apply the foregoing cash collateral and Cash Equivalents in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce either the Canadian Issuing Lender’s or the US Issuing Lender’s L/C Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 13.16 following (A) the elimination of the L/C Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Non-Funding Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (B) the determination by the Agent and either Canadian Issuing Lender or the US Issuing Lender, as applicable, that there exists excess cash collateral; provided that, subject to the other provisions of this Section 13.16, the Person providing cash collateral and the Canadian Issuing Lender or the US Issuing Lender, as applicable, may agree that cash collateral shall be held to support future anticipated L/C Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

- 128 -

ARTICLE 13

(3) Reallocation of Commitments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall be within the sole determination of the Canadian Issuing Lender or the US Issuing Lender, as applicable, as to whether it is agreeable to issue any new Letters of Credit or extend or renew any expiring Letters of Credit. So long as there is a Non-Funding Lender, the Borrowers may continue to request the issuance of Letters of Credit and the Canadian Issuing Lender or the US Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall issue such Letters of Credit. Each Lender that is not a Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have increased their Proportionate Share of Commitments under the Canadian Revolving Facility or the US Revolving Facility, as applicable, (but not their aggregate Commitment) with respect to any such Letter of Credit only, such that the aggregated Commitments of such Lenders in respect of each such Letter of Credit shall be equal to the amount of the Commitments in respect of such Letter of Credit had the Non-Funding Lender not been a Non-Funding Lender. With respect to such Letter of Credit references in Section 5.02 to the Lenders, and the indemnification of the Lenders, such references will be deemed not to apply to any Non-Funding Lender. Subject to Section 13.17, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Non-Funding Lender arising from that Lender having become a Non-Funding Lender, including any claim of a Lender as a result of such Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. If the reallocation described in this Section 13.16(3) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, cash collateralize the L/C Fronting Exposure of the Canadian Issuing Lender or the US Issuing Lender, as applicable, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.16(2).

(4) Liability of the Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender (including, without limitation, a Non-Funding Lender) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with amounts payable by a Borrower to a Non-Funding Lender and received and deposited by the Agent in a cash collateral account and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement save and except for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final non-appealable judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(5) Non-Funding Lender Waterfall. The Agent shall be entitled to set off any Non-Funding Lender’s Proportionate Share of all payments received from either Borrower against such Non-Funding Lender’s obligations to fund payments and Advances required to be made by it and to purchase participations required to be purchased by it in each case under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Agent shall be entitled to withhold and deposit in one or more non-interest bearing cash collateral accounts in the name of the Agent all amounts (whether principal, interest, fees or otherwise) received by the Agent and due to a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement which amounts shall be used by the Agent (A) first, to reimburse (I) the Agent for any amounts owing to it by the Non-Funding Lender pursuant to any Credit Document, and then to reimburse (II) the Canadian Swingline Lender or the US Swingline Lender, as applicable, for any amounts paid by it that has not been fully reimbursed due to such Non-Funding Lender not funding its Proportionate Share of the applicable Advance, (B) second, to repay any Advances made by a Lender in order to fund a shortfall created by a Non-Funding Lender which repayment shall be in the form of an assignment by each such Lender of such Advance to the Non-Funding Lender, (C) third, (I) first, to cash collateralize all other obligations of such Non-Funding Lender to the Agent owing pursuant to this Agreement in such amount as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent in its discretion including, without limitation, such Non-Funding Lender’s obligation to pay its Proportionate Share of any indemnification or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by a Borrower and (II), second, to maintain cash collateral for a Non-Funding Lender’s Proportionate Share of reimbursement obligations for Letters of Credit, (D) fourth, at the Agent’s discretion, to fund from time to time the Non-Funding Lender’s Proportionate Share of Advances under either Revolving Facility, as applicable, (E) fifth, at the Agent’s discretion, to be held in an interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (I) satisfy such Non-Funding Lender’s Proportionate Share of future Advances under either Revolving Facility, as applicable, and (II) cash collateralize the Canadian Issuing Lender’s or the US Issuing Lender’s, as applicable, future L/C Fronting Exposure with respect to such Non-Funding Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 13.16(2) and Section 13.16(3), (F) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Canadian Issuing Lender or the US Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or such Issuing Lender against such Non-Funding Lender as a result of such Non-Funding Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (G) seventh, so long as no Pending Event of Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Non-Funding Lender as a result of such Non-Funding Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (H) eighth, to such Non-Funding Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advance or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of which such Non-Funding Lender has not fully funded its Proportionate Share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, all Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, such Non-Funding Lender until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to Section 13.16(3). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Non-Funding Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Non-Funding Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to Section 13.16(2) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Non-Funding Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

- 129 -

ARTICLE 13

(6) Voting and Consent Rights. For certainty, a Non-Funding Lender shall have no voting or consent rights with respect to matters under this Agreement or other Credit Documents. Accordingly, the Commitments and the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances owing to any Non-Funding Lender shall be disregarded in determining Majority Lenders and all Lenders or all affected Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a Non-Funding Lender (A) fund all outstanding Advances that it previously failed to fund and pay all other amounts owing to the Agent, and (B) confirm in writing to the Agent that there is no reasonable likelihood that it will subsequently again become a Non-Funding Lender, then such Lender shall thereafter be entitled to vote and shall have consent rights in the same manner and fashion as if it were not a Non-Funding Lender.

(7) Reinstatement of Non-Funding Lender. If the Borrowers, the Agent and either the Canadian Issuing Lender or the US Issuing Lender, as applicable, agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Non-Funding Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (without giving effect to Section 13.16(3)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Non-Funding Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Non-Funding Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from a Non-Funding Lender to a Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Non-Funding Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any other Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)	the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)	the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)	a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)

a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or

TAXES, CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES

14.01

Change in Law

In the event of any change after the date hereof in any Applicable Law (a “Change in Law”) or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any governmental agency, central bank or other authority or entity charged with the administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) which now or hereafter (a) subjects any Lender (or any holding company of any Lender) to any Tax or changes the basis of taxation, or increases any existing Tax, on payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable by any Obligor to such Lender under any Credit Document (except for Excluded Taxes and changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof) (or any holding company of any Lender); (b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by or any other acquisition of funds by, an office of any Lender (or any holding company of any Lender); or (c) imposes on any Lender (or any holding company of any Lender) or requires there to be maintained by any Lender (or any holding company of any Lender) any capital adequacy or additional capital requirements in respect of any Advances or Lender’s Commitments hereunder or any other condition with respect to any Credit Document, and the result of any of the foregoing will be to increase the cost to, or reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount received or receivable by such Lender (or any holding company of any Lender) hereunder or its effective return hereunder in respect of making, maintaining or funding its participation in such Advance under the Credit Facilities, such Lender will determine that amount of money which will compensate such Lender (or its holding company) for such increase in cost or reduction in income (herein referred to as “Additional Compensation”). Upon a Lender having determined that it is entitled to Additional Compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.01 the Lender will promptly so notify the applicable Borrower and the Agent. The Lender will provide to the applicable Borrower and the Agent a photocopy of the relevant law, rule, guideline, regulation, treaty or official directive and a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Lender setting forth the Additional Compensation and the basis of calculation therefor, which will be conclusive evidence of such Additional Compensation in the absence of manifest error. The applicable Borrower will pay to the Lender (or at such Lender’s direction its holding company) within ten Business Days of the giving of such notice such Lender’s Additional Compensation calculated to the date of such notification. Each of the Lenders (or their respective holding companies) will be entitled to be paid such Additional Compensation from time to time to the extent that the provisions of this Section 14.01 are then applicable notwithstanding that any Lender (or its holding company) has previously been paid any Additional Compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers will not be liable to compensate a Lender (or its holding company) for any such increase in costs or reduction in income if such compensation is not being claimed as a general practice from customers of such Lender (or its holding company) who by agreement are liable to pay such or similar compensation or if such compensation is in respect of a period more than 90 days prior to a Lender becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to such Additional Compensation.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives whether concerning capital adequacy or liquidity promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed a “Change in Law” regardless of the date enacted, adopted, applied or issued.

Prepayment of Rateable Portion

Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, if a Lender gives the notice provided for in Section 14.01 with respect to any Advance (an “Affected Loan”), the affected Borrower may, upon ten Business Days’ notice to that effect given to such Lender and to the Agent (which notice will be irrevocable), prepay in full without penalty such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Affected Loan outstanding together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid up to the date of such prepayment and such Additional Compensation as may be applicable to the date of such payment and all costs, losses and expenses incurred by the Lenders by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Affected Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, and upon such payment being made that Lender’s obligations to make such Affected Loans to the Borrowers under this Agreement will terminate.

Illegality

If the adoption of any Applicable Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any governmental or other authority or central bank or comparable agency or any other entity charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by a Lender with any request or direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency or entity, after the date hereof makes it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, fund or maintain an Advance under the Credit Facilities or to give effect to its obligations in respect of such an Advance, such Lender may, by written notice thereof to the Borrowers and to the Agent declare its obligations under this Agreement (or its obligations with respect to such Advance, if applicable) to be terminated whereupon the same will forthwith terminate, and the Borrowers will prepay within the time required by such law (or at the end of such longer period as such Lender at its discretion has agreed) the principal of such Advance together with accrued interest, such Additional Compensation, if any, as may be applicable to the date of such payment and all costs, losses and expenses incurred by the Lenders by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Advance or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. If any such change will only affect a portion of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement which is, in the opinion of such Lender and the Agent, severable from the remainder of this Agreement so that the remainder of this Agreement may be continued in full force and effect without otherwise affecting any of the obligations of the Agent, the other Lenders or the Obligors hereunder, such Lender will only declare its obligations under that portion so terminated.

Taxes

(1)

All payments to be made to the Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Documents will be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes; provided, however, if any Taxes are required by Applicable Law to be withheld from any interest or other amount payable to the Agent or any Lender under any Credit Document (except Excluded Taxes), the amount so payable to the Agent or such Lender will be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Lender, on a net basis after payment of all Taxes (including all Taxes imposed on any additional amounts payable under this Section), interest or any such other amount payable under such Credit Document at the rate or in the amount specified in such Credit Document. The Obligors will be fully liable and responsible for and will, promptly following receipt of a request from the Agent, pay to the Agent any and all Taxes in the nature of sales, use, goods and services, Taxes payable under the laws of Canada, any Province of Canada, the United States of America, any State of the United States of America or any other country or jurisdiction with respect to any and all goods and services made available under the Credit Documents to any Obligor by the Agent and the Lenders, but not including any Excluded Taxes. Whenever any Taxes are payable by an Obligor, as promptly as possible thereafter it will send to the Agent, for the account of the Agent and each affected lender, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment of such Taxes. If an Obligor fails to pay any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) when due or if an Obligor fails to remit to the Agent the required documentary evidence of such payment, the Obligors will indemnify and save harmless the Agent and the Lenders from any incremental Taxes, interest, penalties or other liabilities that may become payable by the Agent or by any Lender or to which the Agent or any Lender may be subjected as a result of any such failure. A certificate of the Agent or any Lender as to the amount of any such Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), interest or penalties and containing reasonable details of the calculation of such Taxes, interest or penalties will be, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the amount of such Taxes, interest or penalties, as the case may be. If a Borrower has paid over or remitted an amount on account of Taxes pursuant to the foregoing provision and the amount so paid over or remitted is subsequently refunded to such Lender, in whole or in part, such Lender will remit, provided there is then no Pending Event of Default or Event of Default and subject to the set off rights of the Lenders, such amount refunded to such Borrower.

(2)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Agent nor any US Lender shall be entitled to any additional payments or indemnification under Section 14.04(1) with respect to withholding Taxes (a) to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts existed on the date that the Agent or such US Lender became a party to this Agreement (except to the extent such US Lender is an assignee of any other US Lender that was entitled, at the time the assignment of such other US Lender became effective, to receive additional amounts or indemnification under Section 14.04(1)) or (b) that are directly attributable to the failure by such US Lender to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to Section 14.04(3), (4) or (5).

Each US Lender that is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall (A) on or prior to the date such US Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it and (D) from time to time if requested by the US Borrower or the Agent, provide the Agent and the US Borrower with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such US Lender is entitled to an exemption for U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

(5)

If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (5), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Successors and Assigns

(1)

The Credit Documents (other than Xxxxxx to which a Lender or its affiliate is the counterparty) will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Agent, each Lender, the Borrowers and their successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers, other than as otherwise permitted hereunder, will not assign any rights or obligations with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and none of the Lenders will assign any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (other than Xxxxxx to which a Lender or its affiliate is the counterparty) except in accordance with this Agreement.

(2)

Except (a) from one Canadian Lender to another Canadian Lender, (b) from one US Lender to another US Lender, or (c) from one Lender to one of its Affiliates under this Agreement, none of the rights and obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may be assigned in whole or in part except with the prior written consent of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. For greater certainty, each Lender (other than a Domestic Lender and the LC Lender) must have Commitments in both Revolving Facilities unless an Event of Default or a Pending Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent of the Borrowers is required in respect of any assignment by any one or more of the Lenders following the occurrence of a Pending Event of Default or an Event of Default and for so long as it is continuing. Subject to the foregoing, any assignment made by one or more of the Lenders in accordance herewith will be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.02 and the other terms of this Agreement. The Borrowers hereby consent to the disclosure of any Information to any potential Lender or participant provided that the potential Lender or participant agrees in writing to keep the Information confidential as required pursuant to Section 16.01 hereof and to return such Information if it does not become a Lender or a participant.

(3)

Each assignment will be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations of the assignor(s). Each such assignment will, unless an Event of Default exists, be in a principal amount of not less than the lesser of the entire amount of such Lender’s interest, and $5,000,000; provided, however, there will be no minimum assignment amount (i) following the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it is continuing, or (ii) in respect of an assignment from one Lender to any other Lender or to any Affiliate of a Lender, and each Lender will be entitled to hold and assign interests of less than $5,000,000 if the total Commitments held by such Lenders and Affiliates of such Lender are equal to or greater than $5,000,000. The determination of the Commitments of a Lender under this Section 15.01(3) will be made as of the effective date of the Assignment Agreement relating to any assignment.

(4)

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender agrees that it will not assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement including, without limitation, any portion of its Commitment without ten Business Days prior notice to the Agent and without the prior written consent of the Agent.

(5)	A participation by a Lender of its interest (or a part thereof) hereunder or a payment by a participant to a Lender as a result of the participation will not constitute a payment hereunder to the Lender or an Advance to a Borrower.

Assignments

(1)

Subject to Section 15.01 and the other terms of this Agreement, the Lenders collectively or individually may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of their respective Commitments), provided that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as it is continuing, an assignee of all or part of a Commitment related to (i) the Canadian Revolving Facility will deal at arm’s length (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) with the Borrowers and (ii) the US Revolving Facility will be a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. There will be no restrictions on assignments while an Event of Default exists. The parties to each such assignment will execute (together with the Agent) and deliver a Canadian Assignment Agreement in the case of an assignment of a Lender’s Commitment in respect of the Canadian Revolving Facility or the LC Facility and a US Assignment Agreement in the case of a Lender’s Commitment in respect of the US Revolving Facility (each, an “Assignment Agreement”) to the Agent and the Agent will deliver such Assignment Agreement to the Borrowers. In addition the Borrowers will execute such other documentation as a Lender may reasonably request for the purpose of any assignment or participation. The assignor will pay a processing and recording fee of $5,000 to the Agent. After such execution, delivery, acknowledgement and recording in the Register (i) the assignee thereunder will be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder will, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement, other than obligations in respect of which it is then in default, and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender will cease to be a party hereto.

(2)	The agreements of an assignee contained in an Assignment Agreement will benefit the assigning Lender thereunder, the other Lenders and the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Assignment Agreement.

(3)

The Agent will maintain at its address referred to herein a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and acknowledged by it and a register for recording the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment under the Credit Facilities of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register will be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Borrowers, the Agent and each of the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, and need not recognize any Person as a Lender unless it is recorded in the Register as a Lender. The Register will be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee and approved by the Borrowers (other than while an Event of Default or a Pending Event of Default exists when no such approval will be necessary), the Agent will, if the Assignment Agreement has been completed and is in the required form with such immaterial changes as are acceptable to the Agent:

(a)	acknowledge the Assignment Agreement;

(b)	record the information contained therein in the Register; and

(c)	give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers and the other Lenders, and provide them with an updated version of Schedule A.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, any Lender may (without requesting the consent of any Borrower or the Agent) pledge its Advances to the Bank of Canada or to a Federal Reserve Bank, as the case may be, in support of borrowings made by such Lender from the Bank of Canada or such Federal Reserve Bank, as the case may be.

(6)

If, as a result of any assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 15.02 or Section 15.03 made at a time no Event of Default exists a Borrower would be obliged to pay Additional Compensation (within the meaning of Section 14.01), or deduct or withhold any Taxes and make increased payments pursuant to Section 14.04, in excess, at the time, of those which such Borrower would have been required to pay, deduct or withhold had such assignment or participation not taken place, subject to Section 14.04(2), such Borrower will be relieved of those obligations to the extent of such excess.

15.03

Participations

Each Lender may (subject to the provisions of Section 15.01(1)) sell participations to one or more banks, financial institutions or other Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment), but the participant will not become a Lender and:

(a)	the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment) will remain unchanged;

(b)	the Lender will remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;

(c)	the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders will continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and

the rules of priority established under Applicable Law.

Repayment of Subordinate Debt Except for payments which are not prohibited by and which are made in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement or, subsequent to the termination of the Credit Agreement, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, until the Senior Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full and the Credit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Shell Energy Agreements and the Other Commodity Supply Agreements have been terminated, no direct or indirect, distribution, payment (including, but not limited to, principal, interest and fees), prepayment or repayment on account of, or other distribution in respect of, the Subordinate Debt shall be made by, or on behalf of, the Debtor or received by, or on behalf of, the Subordinate Lender.

Subordinate Security The Subordinate Lender acknowledges that it has not been granted any security from the Debtor to secure the Subordinate Debt. The Subordinate Lender covenants in favour of the Senior Creditors that during the term of this Agreement it will not take from the Debtor security for the payment of or performance of obligations in respect of the Subordinate Debt.

8.	Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy, etc.

(a)

In the event of distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of the Debtor, or the proceeds thereof, to creditors in connection with the bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up of the Debtor or in connection with any composition with creditors or scheme of arrangement to which the Debtor is a party, the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to receive (i) payment in full (including interest accruing to the date of receipt of such payment at the applicable rate whether or not allowed as a claim in any such proceeding) of the Senior Debt before the Subordinate Lender is entitled to receive any direct or indirect payment or distribution of any cash or other assets of the Debtor on account of the Subordinate Debt, and (ii) any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or other assets, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinate Debt for application in payment of such Senior Debt (to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full after giving effect to any substantially concurrent payment or distribution to the Senior Creditors in respect of the Senior Debt). To the extent any payment of Senior Debt (whether by or on behalf of the Subordinate Lender, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise) is declared to be a fraudulent preference or otherwise voidable, set aside or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver or other similar Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, then if such payment is recoverable by, or paid over to, such trustee, receiver or other Person, the Senior Debt or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.

(b)

In order to enable the Senior Creditors to enforce their rights hereunder in any of the actions or proceedings described in this Section 8, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered, in its discretion, to make and present for and on behalf of the Subordinate Lender, such proofs of claims or other motions or pleadings and to demand, receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to apply the same on account of the Senior Debt. The Subordinate Lender hereby covenants and agrees to exercise any voting right or other privilege that it may have from time to time in any of the actions or proceedings described in this Section 8 in favour of any plan, proposal, compromise, arrangement or similar transaction so as to give effect to: (i) the right of the Senior Creditors to receive payments and distributions otherwise payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinate Debt so long as any Senior Debt remains outstanding; or (ii) the obligation of the Subordinate Lender to receive, hold in trust, and pay over to the Senior Creditors certain payments and distributions as contemplated by Section 9.

(c)

In the event of any dissolution, winding up, reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceedings relating to the Debtor, all rights of the Subordinate Lender to exercise the voting and other consensual rights pertaining to Subordinate Debt and the securities it owns or holds in the capital of the Debtor of which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall, at the option of the Collateral Agent, become vested in the Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of the Senior Creditors, and the Collateral Agent shall thereupon have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise such voting and other consensual rights. For such purpose, the Subordinate Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent or any officer of the Collateral Agent as its attorney in fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of the Subordinate Lender and in the name of the Subordinate Lender or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s absolute discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to take any action and to execute any instruments which the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and the Subordinate Lender hereby ratifies all such actions that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an assignment of the Subordinate Lender’s interest in any payments or distributions in respect of the Subordinate Debt and shall be irrevocable.

Payments Received by the Subordinate Lender Prior to the indefeasible payment in full of the Senior Debt, if the Subordinate Lender or any Person on its behalf shall receive any payment (other than such payments expressly permitted by Section 3 hereof) from a distribution of assets of the Debtor on account of any Subordinate Debt, then the Subordinate Lender shall, and shall cause such other Person to, receive and hold such payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Senior Creditors and promptly pay the same over or deliver to the Collateral Agent in precisely the form received by the Subordinate Lender or such other Person on their behalf (except for any necessary endorsement or assignment) and such payment or distribution shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to the repayment or payment of the Senior Debt.

10.

Senior Creditors’ Rights The Subordinate Lender agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Senior Security in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of each Security Document and nothing herein shall prevent, restrict or limit the Collateral Agent in any manner from exercising all or any part of its rights and remedies otherwise permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement, by the terms of each Security Document and by Applicable Law upon any default under the terms of the Senior Debt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subordinate Lender agrees that:

the Senior Creditors, in their absolute discretion or in the absolute discretion of any authorized officer or agent, and without diminishing the obligations of the Subordinate Lender hereunder, may grant time or other indulgences to the Debtor and any other Person now or hereafter liable to the Senior Creditors in respect of the payment of the Senior Debt, and the Collateral Agent may give up, modify, vary, exchange, renew or abstain from taking advantage of the Senior Security in whole or in part and may discharge any part or parts of or accept any composition or arrangements or realize upon the Senior Security when and in such manner as the Collateral Agent or any authorized officer or agent thereof may think expedient, and in no such case shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for any neglect or omission with respect to the Senior Security or any part thereof;

(b)

the Subordinate Lender shall not be released or exonerated from its obligations hereunder by extension of time periods or any other forbearance whatsoever, whether as to time, performance or otherwise or by any release, discharge, loss or alteration in or dealing with all or any part of the Senior Debt and the Senior Security or any part thereof or by any failure or delay in giving any notice required under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Shell Energy Agreements, the Other Commodity Supply Agreements, the Guarantees, the Senior Debt or the Senior Security or any part thereof, the waiver by any of the Senior Creditors of compliance with any conditions precedent to any advance of funds, or by any modification or alteration of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Shell Energy Agreements, the Other Commodity Supply Agreements, the Guarantees, the Senior Debt or the Senior Security or any part thereof, or by anything done, suffered or permitted by, any of the Senior Creditors, or as a result of the method or terms of payment under the Senior Debt or Senior Security or any part thereof or any assignment or other transfer of all or any part of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Shell Energy Agreements, the Other Commodity Supply Agreements, the Guarantees, the Senior Debt or the Senior Security or any part thereof;

(c)

the Senior Creditors shall not be bound to seek or exhaust any recourse against the Debtor or any other Person or against the property or assets of the Debtor or any other Person or against any security, guarantee or indemnity before being entitled to the benefit of the Subordinate Lender’s obligations hereunder and the Senior Creditors may enforce the various remedies available to them and may realize upon the various security documents, guarantees and indemnities or any part thereof, held by them in such order as the Security Creditors may determine appropriate;

(d)	the Subordinate Lender is fully responsible for acquiring and updating information relating to the financial condition of the Debtor and all circumstances relating to the payment or non-payment of the Subordinate Debt;

(f)

either the Collateral Agent or the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to advance their own monies as they see fit in order to preserve or protect the assets of the Debtor or any part thereof, and all such sums advanced to the extent reasonably advanced to preserve and protect the assets of the Subordinate Lender or any part thereof, shall constitute part of the Senior Debt and shall be secured by the Senior Security; and

(g)

upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, the Subordinate Lender shall provide each Senior Creditor details of all outstanding Subordinate Debt and shall, if requested and to the extent not then in existence, forthwith issue notes to evidence such outstanding Subordinate Debt and shall deliver such notes to the Collateral Agent.

11.	Representations and Warranties Each of the Subordinate Lenders hereby represents and warrants to the Senior Creditors in respect of itself that:

(a)	it, or to the extent the Subordinate Lender is a limited partnership, its general partner, or to the extent the Subordinate Lender is a trust, its trustee or administrative agent, has all necessary power and authority to enter into this Agreement; and

(b)

this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject however, to limitations with respect to enforcement imposed by law in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

12.

No Waiver of Subordination Provisions No right of the Collateral Agent to enforce the subordination as provided in this Agreement shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Subordinate Lender or by any act or failure to act by the Senior Creditors or any agent of or trustee for the Senior Creditors, or by any non-compliance by the Debtor with any of the agreements or instruments relating to the Subordinate Debt or the Senior Debt, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Senior Creditors may have or be otherwise charged with.

13.
