1.07

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. 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.

1.08

Interest Payments; Calculations and Other Payments

(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 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 or such other period of time, as the case may be.

(4) Unless expressly agreed otherwise under this Agreement, the Lender shall calculate all fees and interest which calculations shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts so owing, absent manifest error. For greater certainty all such calculations shall be without duplication of any day such that neither interest nor fees shall be calculated in respect of the same day twice.

(5) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall 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 shall 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 Lender theretofore shall 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.

(2) Payment of the Multiple on Invested Capital under this Article 5 constitutes liquidated damages, not unmatured interest or a penalty, as the actual amount of damages to the Lender as a result of the relevant triggering event, prepayment or repayment would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the Multiple on Invested Capital is provided by mutual agreement of the Borrower and the Lender as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such actual lost profits and other actual damages of the Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence of the Loan becoming due and payable prior to the Maturity Date for any reason (whether due to acceleration pursuant to this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise), the Multiple on Invested Capital shall be automatically and immediately due and payable. The Multiple on Invested Capital shall also be automatically and immediately due and payable if the Outstanding Amount is satisfied or released by realization on the Collateral or otherwise. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR OTHER LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH EVENTS. The Borrower and the other Credit Parties expressly agree (to the fullest extent it and they may lawfully do so) that with respect to the Multiple on Invested Capital payable under the terms of this Agreement: (a) the Multiple on Invested Capital is reasonable and is the product of an Arm’s Length transaction between sophisticated business parties, ably represented by counsel; (b) the Multiple on Invested Capital shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (c) there has been a course of conduct between the Lender and the Credit Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Multiple on Invested Capital; and (c) the Credit Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Multiple on Invested Capital as herein described is a material inducement to the Lender to provide the commitment to establish the Term Facility and to make the Loan available to the Borrower.

ARTICLE 10 – COSTS, EXPENSES AND INDEMNIFICATION

The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and each Related Party of the Lender (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of: (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance or non-performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation or non-consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) the Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) enforcement (including any workouts in connection with or in lieu of any enforcement) of its rights under the Loan Documents; (iv) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials in breach of the Requirements of Environmental Law on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party, or any Environmental Liability; or (v) any actual claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Credit Party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses: (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Credit Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Credit Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favour on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, nor will an indemnity be available in respect of matters specifically addressed in Sections 11.01, 11.02 or 12.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.01 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, liability, claims, and damages arising from any non-Tax claim. The indemnity contained herein shall survive the termination of the Term Facility.

10.02

Waiver of Consequential Damages

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, neither the Credit Parties nor an Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the other, on any theory of liability, for indirect, consequential, punitive, aggravated or exemplary damages (as opposed to direct damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby (or any breach thereof), the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

- 61 -

10.03

ARTICLE 11 – TAXES AND CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES

11.01

Increased Costs

If, from time to time, any Change in Law shall:

(a)

impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against Property of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Lender; or

(b)

subject the Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Loan made by it, except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 11.02 and any Excluded Tax;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Loan, or to increase the cost to the Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of the Lender from time to time, the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

11.02

Taxes

(1) Payments Subject to Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligations of any Credit Party hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by Applicable Law. If any Credit Party or the Lender is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes for any such payment, then: (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax (including any Other Tax), the sum payable shall be increased by that Credit Party when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been required; (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make any such deductions or withholdings required to be made by it under Applicable Law; and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(2) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Section 11.02, the Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Lender, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

- 62 -

(3) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor (specifying in reasonable detail the nature and the amount of the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes), for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Credit Party hereunder or any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(4) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Credit Party shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(5) Treatment of Certain Refunds and Tax Reductions. If the Lender determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section or that, because of the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes, it has benefited from a reduction in Excluded Taxes otherwise payable by it, it shall pay to the applicable the Borrower or Credit Party, as applicable, an amount equal to such refund or reduction (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or any Credit Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or reduction), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any net after-Tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower or other Credit Party as applicable, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender if the Lender is required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.02(5), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower or a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 11.02(5) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favourable after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payment or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction.

(6) Status of Lender. To the extent that withholdings apply to any payment to be made to the Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrower and to the Lender, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Lender and at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Lender or prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding (including FATCA withholding, if applicable) or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender, if requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to withholding, backup withholding or information reporting requirements (including, without limitation, FATCA). The Lender shall, from time to time after the initial delivery by the Lender of the documentation described above, at the request of the Borrower or if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate: (a) deliver to the Borrower renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish the Lender’s status or that the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in withholding tax; or (b) notify the Borrower in writing of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Solely for the purposes of this paragraph (6), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and any non-U.S. legislation, rules or administrative guidance notes adopted by a Governmental Authority pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement entered into with the United States with respect to FATCA, or that give effect to the OECD Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters-the Common Reporting Standard.

- 63 -

(7) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.02 shall survive the assignment of rights by the Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Term Facility, the Outstanding Amount and all other Obligations under any Loan Document.

11.03

Illegality

If the Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make or maintain the Loan, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful will be suspended until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower will, upon demand from the Lender, prepay the Outstanding Amount in full (together with the Multiple on Invested Capital and all other Obligations outstanding under the Loan Documents) or take any necessary steps in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful.

ARTICLE 12 – GENERAL

12.01
