Each Lender severally agrees to make its Commitment available to the Borrower by way of the following: (1) Prime Loans; (2) USBR Loans; (3) SOFR Loans; (4) Bankers’ Acceptances; and (5) Letters of Credit.

- 42 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT Section 2.2 Hedge Contracts A Lender may from time to time enter into Hedge Contracts with the Borrower. No Lender makes a commitment hereunder to enter into any Hedge Contracts and may in its sole discretion decline to enter into any Hedge Contract at any time. Each Hedge Contract is governed by the terms and conditions set out in the confirmation forwarded by the applicable Lender or its Affiliate to the Borrower on entering into the Hedge Contract and any applicable ISDA Master Agreement. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions set out in the confirmation or ISDA Master Agreement and this Agreement, the confirmation or ISDA Master Agreement shall govern unless otherwise expressly provided herein. Section 2.3 Obligations of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (1) Rateable Portion. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees to make available its Rateable Portion of each Advance (or Rollover or Conversion thereof) to the Borrower. No Lender shall be responsible for a Commitment of any other Lender. The failure of a Lender to make available an Advance (or Rollover or Conversion thereof) in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement shall not release any other Lender from its obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Lender shall be obligated to make or participate in Advances in excess of its Commitment. For greater certainty, (i) the Issuing Bank shall only include its Rateable Portion of Letters of Credit when determining if it has made available Advances in excess of its Commitment, and (ii) Hedge Contracts are not subject to this Section 2.3(1). (2) Separate Obligation. The obligation of each Lender to make its Commitment available to the Borrower is a separate obligation between each Lender and the Borrower, and that obligation is not the several or joint and several obligation of any other Lender. Section 2.4 Revolving Nature of Credit Facility Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may from time to time up to the Maturity Date increase or reduce the amount of Advances outstanding under the Credit Facility by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing Prime Loans, USBR Loans and SOFR Loans, by causing the acceptance of Bankers’ Acceptances and funding them at maturity and by causing the issue, cancellation and re-issue of Letters of Credit. Section 2.5 Availability of Credit Facility Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to Section 4.4, the US Dollar Amount of the principal amount of all Advances shall not exceed the Total Commitment at any time. In the event that the US Dollar Amount of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances exceeds the Total Commitment, the Borrower shall not be entitled to obtain any further Advances until the amount of such excess is repaid. Section 2.6 Purpose The proceeds of the Advances made under the Credit Facility shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower, including to provide financing for capital investments in the Core Business Verticals.

Any notice (including any deemed notice provided herein) given to the Administrative Agent may not be revoked or withdrawn. No Advance under the Credit Facility shall have a term or Contract Period that extends beyond the Maturity Date. (2) Limits on Advances. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not request or be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent an Advance under the Credit Facility if, on the day notice of the Advance is given pursuant to Section 2.7(1) or after giving effect to the Advance, the US Dollar Amount of the principal amount of all Advances outstanding from any Lender would exceed the Commitment of the Lender, or if the aggregate US Dollar Amount of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances would exceed the Total Commitment.

Any approved increase will be conditional upon (a) there being no Default or Event of Default, (b) execution and delivery of an amendment or supplement to the Credit Agreement and such other documentation, authorizations and opinions of counsel for the Borrower and Guarantors as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, (c) consent thereto by the Administrative Agent, and (d) receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Compliance Certificate. Section 2.10 SOFR Loans (1) Term. Each SOFR Loan shall have a Contract Period of 1, 3 or 6 months (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by all Lenders), in each case, subject to availability; provided that (i) the Contract Period shall commence on the date of an advance of or a conversion to a SOFR Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Contract Periods, each successive Contract Period shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Contract Period expires; (ii) if any Contract Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Contract Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any Contract Period with respect to a SOFR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Contract Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; (iii) any Contract Period with respect to a SOFR Loan that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is not numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Contract Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the relevant calendar month at the end of such Contract Period; (iv) no Contract Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date; and (v) no tenor that has been removed from this type of Advance pursuant to Section 3.18 shall be available for specification in any such notice of Advance, Rollover or Conversion.
- 45 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (2) Rollover of SOFR Loans. At or before 2:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days before the expiry of the Contract Period of each SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by irrevocable telephone or email notice, followed by written notice on the same day substantially in the form attached as Schedule 2.10(2), if it intends to: (a) enter into a new Contract Period with respect to the maturing SOFR Loan, or (b) repay the maturing SOFR Loan. If the Borrower fails to provide such notice to the Administrative Agent or fails to make the required payment, or if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the last day of the Contract Period, the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the maturing SOFR Loan shall be deemed to have been converted into a USBR Loan as of the last day of the Contract Period thereof in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the expiring SOFR Loans. (3) Breakage Costs. If the Borrower repays or prepays a SOFR Loan on a day other than the SOFR Interest Payment Date falling on the last day of the Contract Period applicable to that SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable Lender for any loss or expense suffered or incurred by that Lender as a result of such early repayment or prepayment, including, without limitation, any loss of profit or expenses which that Lender incurs by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lender to effect or maintain the SOFR Loan or any interest or other charges payable to lenders of funds borrowed by that Lender in order to maintain the SOFR Loan together with any other charges, costs or expenses incurred by that Lender relative thereto. (4) Alternate Rate. If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, acting in good faith, determines, or the Majority Lenders, acting in good faith, determine and notify the Administrative Agent (which determinations shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, on a basis that is expected to be temporary: (a) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest on a SOFR Loan, or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR is not available for the relevant period for any reason, or (c) Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR does not accurately reflect the effective cost to the Lenders of making, funding or maintaining a SOFR Loan and/or the costs to the Lenders are increased or the income receivable by the Lenders is reduced in respect of a SOFR Loan, or (d) the making, funding or maintaining of a SOFR Loan or a portion thereof by a Lender has become impracticable by reason of circumstances which materially and adversely affect the relevant interbank market, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower. Thereafter, (x) the right of the Borrower to request an Advance by means of a SOFR Loan shall be and remain suspended until the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, determine and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the condition causing such determination no
- 46 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT longer exists, and (y) any notice of Drawdown or Rollover in respect of a SOFR Loan which is outstanding shall be cancelled and any outstanding notice of Conversion to convert a USBR Loan into a SOFR Loan shall be cancelled and the request for a Drawdown or Rollover by means of a SOFR Loan shall be deemed to be a request for a Drawdown of, or Rollover to, a USBR Loan in the amount of the requested SOFR Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the suspension of the Borrower’s right to request an Advance by means of SOFR Loan and of the termination of any such suspension. Section 2.11 Bankers’ Acceptances (1) Term. Each Bankers’ Acceptance shall have a Contract Period of 1, 2 or 3 months, subject to market availability (or, subject to the agreement of the Lenders, a longer or shorter period). No Contract Period for a Bankers’ Acceptance shall extend beyond the Maturity Date. (2) CDOR Rate. On each Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date on which Bankers’ Acceptances are to be accepted, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Borrower as to the Administrative Agent’s determination of the applicable CDOR Rate for the Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted. (3) Purchase. Upon acceptance of a Bankers’ Acceptance by a Lender, such Lender shall purchase or arrange the purchase of such Bankers’ Acceptance at the applicable CDOR Rate. The Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent’s Account for Payments the Discount Proceeds less the Acceptance Fee payable by the Borrower with respect to the Bankers’ Acceptance. (4) Sale. Each Lender may from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased by it. (5) Power of Attorney for the Execution of Bankers’ Acceptances. To facilitate availment of the Advances by way of B/As, the Borrower hereby appoints each Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, blank forms of B/As. In this respect, it is each Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. The Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Lender shall bind the Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of the Borrower. Each Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Lender; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of B/As required to be accepted and purchased by such Lender. Each Lender shall exercise and apply the same care in the custody and safekeeping of such B/As as it would for its own property of a similar negotiable type. No Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. Each Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As held by it in blank hereunder, voided by it for any reason, accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and cancelled at their respective maturities. Each Lender agrees to provide such records to the Borrower at the Borrower’s expense upon request.
- 47 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (6) Execution. Drafts drawn by the Borrower to be accepted as Bankers’ Acceptances shall be signed by a duly authorized Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Borrower or by its attorneys, including attorneys appointed pursuant to Section 2.11(5). Notwithstanding that any Person whose signature appears on any Bankers’ Acceptance may no longer be an authorized signatory for the Borrower at the time of issuance of a Bankers’ Acceptance, that signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if the authority had remained in force at the time of issuance and any Bankers’ Acceptance so signed shall be binding on the Borrower. (7) Issuance. The Administrative Agent, promptly following receipt of a notice of Advance, Rollover or Conversion by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, shall advise the Lenders of the notice and shall advise each Lender of the face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by it and the applicable Contract Period (which shall be identical for all Lenders). The aggregate face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by a Lender shall be determined by the Administrative Agent by reference to that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Rateable Portion of the issue of Bankers’ Acceptances, except that, if the face amount of a Bankers’ Acceptance which would otherwise be accepted by a Lender would not be Cdn$[DELETION], or a whole multiple thereof, the face amount shall be increased or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to Cdn$[DELETION] [Amounts deleted for confidentiality reasons], or the nearest whole multiple of that amount, as appropriate; provided that after such issuance, no Lender shall have aggregate outstanding Advances in excess of its Commitment. (8) Rollover. At or before 2:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days before the maturity date of any Bankers’ Acceptances, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by irrevocable telephone notice, followed by written notice on the same day substantially in the form attached as Schedule 2.11(8), which notice shall specify either that the Borrower intends to repay the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances on the maturity date that the Borrower intends to issue Bankers’ Acceptances on the maturity date to provide for the payment of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances. If the Borrower fails to provide such notice to the Administrative Agent or fails to repay the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances, of if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such maturity date, the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances shall be deemed to have been converted on the maturity date thereof into a Prime Loan, in an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances. Otherwise, the Borrower shall provide payment to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances issued by the Lenders on their maturity date. (9) Waiver of Presentment and Other Conditions. The Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defence to payment of any amounts due to a Lender in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of the Bankers’ Acceptance being held, at the maturity thereof, by the Lender in its own right and the Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if the Lender as holder sues the Borrower on the Bankers’ Acceptance for payment of the amount payable by the Borrower thereunder. On the specified maturity date of a B/A, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender that has accepted such B/A the full face amount of such B/A and after such payment, the Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and the Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.
- 48 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (10) Circumstances Making Bankers’ Acceptances Unavailable. If the Administrative Agent determines in good faith, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, and notifies the Borrower that, by reason of circumstances affecting the money market there is no market for, or a material adverse change has occurred in respect of the market for, Bankers’ Acceptances or the demand for Bankers’ Acceptances is insufficient to allow the sale or trading of the Bankers’ Acceptances created hereunder, or that for any reason adequate and fair means do not exist of ascertaining the CDOR Rate applicable to any Bankers’ Acceptances, or that the CDOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the effective cost of making, funding and maintaining a Bankers’ Acceptance, then: (a) the right of the Borrower to request an Advance by means of Bankers’ Acceptances shall be and remain suspended until the Administrative Agent determines, and notifies the Borrower, that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and the Administrative Agent so notifies the Borrower; and (b) any notice of Drawdown or Rollover in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance which is outstanding shall be cancelled and any outstanding notice of Conversion to convert a Prime Loan into a Bankers’ Acceptance which is outstanding shall be cancelled and the request for a Drawdown or Rollover by means of Bankers’ Acceptance shall be deemed to be a request for a Drawdown of, or Conversion to, a Prime Loan in the face amount of the requested Bankers’ Acceptance. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the suspension of the Borrower’s right to request an Advance by means of Bankers’ Acceptances and of the termination of any such suspension. (11) BA Equivalent Loans by Non BA Lenders. Whenever the Borrower requests an Advance under this Agreement by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, each Non BA Lender shall, in lieu of accepting a Bankers’ Acceptance, make a BA Equivalent Loan in an amount equal to the Non BA Lender’s Rateable Portion of the Advance. (12) Terms Applicable to Discount Notes. As set out in the definition of Bankers’ Acceptances, that term includes Discount Notes and all terms of this Agreement applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances shall apply equally to Discount Notes evidencing BA Equivalent Loans with such changes as may in the context be necessary. For greater certainty: (a) the term of a Discount Note shall be the same as the Contract Period for Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased on the same Drawdown Date in respect of the same Advance; (b) an acceptance fee will be payable in respect of a Discount Note and shall be calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the Acceptance Fee in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance; and (c) the CDOR Rate applicable to a Discount Note shall be the CDOR Rate applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by a Lender on the same Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, in respect of the same Advance.
- 49 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (13) Depository Bills and Notes Act. At the option of any Lender, Bankers’ Acceptances under this Agreement to be accepted by that Lender may be issued in the form of depository bills for deposit with CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada). All depository bills so issued shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 2.11. Section 2.12 Letters of Credit (1) L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable L/C Agreement, the Issuing Bank, on behalf of, and in reliance on the agreements of, the other Lenders, agrees to make Advances available under the Credit Facility by the issue of L/Cs in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Bank; provided that the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any L/C if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the aggregate amount of the L/C Exposure outstanding at such time would exceed the L/C Sublimit, or (ii) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Advances would exceed the Total Commitment. (b) Each L/C shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars or US Dollars. Each L/C shall have a Contract Period not exceeding one year, except as otherwise provided for by the terms of such L/C. No Contract Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date, unless the aggregate amount of the LC Exposure, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. (2) Other Documentation. The issue of an L/C is subject to the execution and delivery of an L/C Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the L/C Agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail. (3) Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower may borrow from time to time by way of L/C by requesting that the Issuing Bank issue an L/C by delivering to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent a notice in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 2.7 and delivering to the Issuing Bank at its Branch of Account (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) an L/C Agreement therefor. Upon receipt of any L/C Agreement, the Issuing Bank will process such L/C Agreement in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the L/C Agreement therefor) issue the L/C requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Bank be required to issue any L/C earlier than two (2) Business Days after receipt of the L/C Agreement therefor) by issuing the original of such L/C to the Borrower or beneficiary thereof (as agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower) or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. The Issuing
- 50 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT Bank shall furnish a copy of such L/C (or, if applicable, the amendment effecting its extension or renewal or any other amendment) to the Borrower. (b) An L/C may contain provisions providing for the automatic extension of the Contract Period on terms and conditions set forth in such L/C. (c) The Borrower may request an amendment of any L/C by giving written notice specifying the details of such request to the Issuing Bank at its Branch of Account (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least three (3) Business Days (or any shorter period acceptable to the Issuing Bank) before the then current expiry date of such L/C. Subject to the terms of the L/C Agreement therefor and the terms of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank shall, subject to any such amendment being acceptable to the Issuing Bank, amend such L/C and shall furnish a copy of such amended L/C to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower promptly following the amendment thereof. (4) Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (a) A Fronting Fee will be payable by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank in advance at the time of issuance of each L/C pursuant to Section 3.6. (b) The Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent, for the rateable account of the Lenders, an L/C Fee with respect to each L/C pursuant to Section 3.5. (c) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Bank and the Lenders all fees and commissions received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts. (5) L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender, and, to induce the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Rateable Portion of the Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under each L/C issued under this Agreement and the amount of each drawing paid by the Issuing Bank thereunder. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Bank that, if a drawing is paid under any L/C for which the Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank upon demand at the Issuing Bank’s Branch of Account an amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Rateable Portion of the amount of such drawing, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed. (b) If, at any time after the Issuing Bank has made payment under any L/C and has received from any Lender its Rateable Portion of such payment in accordance with Section 2.12(5)(a), the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such L/C (whether from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral
- 51 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT applied thereto by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Bank will promptly distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender its Rateable Portion thereof; provided, however, that if any such payment received by the Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Bank, such Lender shall return to the Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Bank to it. (6) Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. (a) The Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank (whether through Advances under the Credit Facility or otherwise) on each date on which a drawing is made under any L/C and paid by the Issuing Bank for the amount equal to the aggregate of (i) such drawing so paid and (ii) any charges or other costs or expenses which are incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Bank at its Branch of Account in lawful money of the currency in which such L/C is denominated and in immediately available funds. (b) If the Borrower fails to fully reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount owing under Section 2.12(6)(a), then such amount shall be deemed to be an Advance by way of Prime Loan or USBR Loan, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. For greater certainty, interest shall be payable on such Advance in accordance with Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, as applicable. Each Lender hereby agrees that, following receipt by it of notice of such drawing and the failure of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank, it will make the amount of its Rateable Portion of such Advance available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent’s Branch of Account in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following the date of such notice (the “Reimbursement Date”). The Borrower hereby irrevocably directs the Issuing Bank to apply any amounts received by it pursuant to this Section 2.12(6)(b) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under such L/C. If any Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent its Rateable Portion of such Advance before 11:00 a.m. on the Reimbursement Date with respect thereto, such Lender will pay to the Issuing Bank on demand interest on the amount of its Rateable Portion of such Advance at the Prime Rate calculated for the number of days for which such amount is not paid. Each Lender shall be obligated to make available its Rateable Portion of the Advance contemplated by this Section 2.12(6)(b) regardless of whether the conditions precedent to Advances set forth in this Agreement are then satisfied. (c) If it shall be illegal or unlawful for the Borrower to incur Advances as contemplated by Section 2.12(6)(b) above or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Lender to be deemed to have assumed a rateable share of the Reimbursement Obligations owed to the Issuing Bank, then (i) immediately and without further action whatsoever, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Rateable Portion of the L/C Exposure in respect of all L/Cs then outstanding and (ii) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any L/C, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally
- 52 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT purchased from the Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation in the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Rateable Portion of the L/C Exposure with respect to such L/Cs on the date of such issuance. Each Lender shall fund its participation in all payments or disbursements made under the L/Cs in the same manner as provided in this Agreement with respect to Advances. (7) Obligations Absolute. (a) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.12 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, compensation, counterclaim or defence to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Bank or any beneficiary of a L/C issued for the account of the Borrower. For greater certainty, notwithstanding that a L/C issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of the Borrower or an entity controlled by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary of the Borrower or an entity controlled by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party” or the like of or for such L/C, and without derogating from any rights of the Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary or entity controlled by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary in respect of such L/C, the Borrower shall (i) reimburse, indemnify and compensate the Issuing Bank for such L/C (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such L/C had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defences that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or a surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary or entity controlled by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary in respect of such L/C. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such L/C for its Subsidiaries or entities controlled by the Borrower or any of such Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the business of such Subsidiaries or entities controlled by the Borrower or any of such Subsidiaries. (b) The Borrower agrees with the Issuing Bank that the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations under Section 2.12 shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) the validity or genuineness of documents even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or (ii) any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any L/C or any other party to which such L/C may be transferred or (iii) any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such L/C or any such transferee, except that the Borrower reserves its right to subsequently assert claims against the Issuing Bank in case of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. (c) The Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any L/C, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(8) Drawings under Letters of Credit. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any L/C, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any L/C shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such L/C, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such L/C in connection with such presentment are in compliance with such L/C. (9) Retirement. An L/C may only be retired on its expiry date which must be a Business Day unless and to the extent it has been honoured or unless the written consent of the beneficiary of the instrument has been obtained and the original instrument has been returned to the Issuing Bank. (10) Issuing Bank’s Records. The Issuing Bank shall maintain records showing the undrawn and unexpired amount of each L/C outstanding hereunder, and showing for each L/C (a) the Issuance Date and expiration date thereof, (b) the amount thereof, (c) the date and amount of all payments made thereunder, and (d) each Lender’s Rateable Portion of the amount of each L/C. The Issuing Bank shall make copies of such records available to the Administrative Agent and to the Borrower upon its request. (11) Indemnity. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Issuing Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), rateably according to its Rateable Portion, from and against any and all losses and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of any issuance of any L/C hereunder, or any L/C Disbursement made in respect of any such L/C; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses and claims resulting from the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Section 2.13 Conversions. Subject to this Agreement, the Borrower may, during the term of this Agreement, effective on any Business Day, convert, in whole or in part, an outstanding Advance into another type of Advance permitted upon giving written notice to the Administrative Agent in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule 2.13, the notice period being that which is required by Section 2.7(1) for the type of Advance into which the outstanding Advance is to be converted. Conversions under this Section 2.13 may only be made provided that:
- 54 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (a) each conversion of an Advance shall be for minimum aggregate amounts and whole multiples in excess thereof as are specified in respect of that type of Advance in this Article 2; (b) an Advance by way of Bankers’ Acceptance may be converted only on the last day of the relevant Contract Period; if less than all Advances by way of Bankers’ Acceptances are converted, after the conversion not less than Cdn$[DELETION] [Amount deleted for confidentiality reasons]shall remain as Advances by way of Bankers’ Acceptance; (c) an Advance by way of SOFR Loan in US$ may be converted only on the last day of the relevant Contract Period; if less than all Advances by way of SOFR Loan in US$ are converted, after the conversion not less than US$[DELETION] [Amount deleted for confidentiality reasons]shall remain as an Advance by way of a SOFR Loan in US$; (d) notwithstanding any other term in this Agreement, no Advance denominated in any currency may be converted into an Advance denominated in any other currency; (e) a conversion into an Advance by way of SOFR Loan shall require three (3) Business Days’ notice and shall only be made to the extent that the conditions outlined in Section 3.18 shall not exist on the relevant Conversion Date; (f) a conversion into an Advance by way of Bankers’ Acceptance shall require two (2) Business Days’ notice and shall only be made to the extent that the conditions outlined in Section 2.11(10) shall not exist on the relevant Conversion Date; and (g) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the relevant Conversion Date or after giving effect to the conversion of the Advance to be made on the Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13, and subject to Section 10.2, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the last day of a Contract Period, as regards a Bankers’ Acceptance or SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given notice to convert the Advance (a) in the case of a Bankers’ Acceptance, into a Prime Loan in an amount equal to the face amount of the Bankers’ Acceptance on the last day of the Contract Period, and (b) in the case of a SOFR Loan into a USBR Loan on the last day of the Contract Period. Section 2.14 Conversion and Rollover Not Repayment No Conversion or Rollover shall constitute a repayment of any Advance or a new Advance. Section 2.15 Determination Final With respect to all matters referred to in this Article 2, the determination by the Administrative Agent shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders, absent manifest error.
- 55 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT Section 2.16 Reliance on Oral Instructions The Administrative Agent and any Lender shall be entitled to act upon the oral instructions of any Person who the Administrative Agent or the Lender, acting reasonably, believes is a Person authorized by the Borrower to act on the Borrower’s behalf. Neither the Administrative Agent or the Lender shall be responsible for any error or omission in those instructions or in the performance thereof except in the case of gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Administrative Agent, the Lender or their respective employees. Any instructions so given shall be confirmed in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as applicable, on the same day. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for any loss or expense suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lender as a consequence of the Administrative Agent or the Lender acting upon instructions given or agreements made over the telephone or by electronic transmission of any type with Persons reasonably believed by the Administrative Agent or the Lender to have been acting on the Borrower’s behalf. Section 2.17 Deposit of Proceeds of Advances and Discount Proceeds The Administrative Agent shall credit to the Borrower’s Account on the applicable Drawdown Date (a) the proceeds of each Prime Loan, USBR Loan and SOFR Loan made, and (b) the Discount Proceeds less the applicable Acceptance Fee with respect to each Bankers’ Acceptance purchased and each BA Equivalent Loan advanced by a Lender on that Drawdown Date. Section 2.18 Evidence of Obligations The Administrative Agent shall open and maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Branch of Account accounts and records evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to each Lender with respect to Advances made available by that ▇▇▇▇▇▇. The Administrative Agent shall record in those accounts by appropriate entries all amounts on account of those Obligations and all payments on account thereof. Those accounts and records will constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of those Obligations of the Borrower from time to time, the date each Advance was made and the amounts that the Borrower has paid from time to time on account of those Obligations. Section 2.19 Existing Advances This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Prime Loans, USBR Loans, SOFR Loans and Bankers’ Acceptance outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, which shall remain outstanding under this Agreement after the Restatement Date as modified hereby. For greater certainty, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limitation, all “Advances” outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as at the Restatement Date are and shall be “Advances” under this Agreement, all “Obligations” outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as at the Restatement Date shall constitute and form part of the Obligations under this Agreement, and shall be secured by the Security Documents.

- 58 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT shall be selected from the following matrix as set forth in the applicable column thereof, based upon the Utilization Percentage then in effect. PRICING GRID Applicable Margin (in basis points) Level Utilization Percentage Prime Loans/ USBR Loans Acceptance Fees/SOFR Loans/LC Fee Standby Fee I [DELETION] [DELETION] [DELETION] [DELETION] II [DELETION] [DELETION] [DELETION] [DELETION] III [DELETION] [DELETION] [DELETION] [DELETION] IV [DELETION] [DELETION] [DELETION] [DELETION] [Pricing and ratios have been deleted for confidentiality reasons] (2) The rates provided for in the above matrix shall be effective as of the Restatement Date. The Utilization Percentage shall be calculated on a daily basis. Each change to the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on, and including, the effective date of the change in the Utilization Percentage resulting in the change to the Applicable Margin and ending on, and including, the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change in the Applicable Margin. For greater certainty, any change in the Applicable Margin will only apply to Advances by way of SOFR Loans or Bankers’ Acceptances, including Conversions thereto and Rollovers thereof, made after the effective date of the change. Section 3.8 Standby Fee (1) On the first day of each fiscal quarter during the term of the Credit Facility and on the Maturity Date (each a “Standby Fee Payment Date”), the Borrower shall pay in arrears to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Branch of Account, for the account of the Lenders, a non-refundable standby fee in US Dollars (the “Standby Fee”) calculated on the amount of the uncancelled and unutilized portion of the Total Commitment under the Credit Facility for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin. (2) The Standby Fee shall be payable for the period from and including the Restatement Date or the last Standby Fee Payment Date, as the case may be, to but excluding the next Standby Fee Payment Date and shall be calculated on a daily basis on the uncancelled and unutilized portion of the Total Commitment of the Lenders in effect from time to time on the basis of the actual
- 59 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be. Each Lender shall be entitled to its Rateable Portion of each Standby Fee. Section 3.9 Sustainability Certificate (1) After the Borrower delivers a Sustainability Certificate to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents in respect of its most recently completed Fiscal Year, commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2022, the Applicable Margin in Section 3.7 shall be increased, decreased or remain unchanged, as applicable, from the Applicable Margin set out in the Sustainability Adjustment Grid attached as Schedule 1.1(237) for the Adjusted Pricing Period in accordance with the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment reported in the Sustainability Certificate. (2) As soon as available and in any event within 180 days following the end of each Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents a Sustainability Certificate for the most recently ended Fiscal Year; provided that if no Sustainability Certificate is delivered by the Borrower within 180 days after the end of the Fiscal Year in any year, the Applicable Margin will be increased by [DELETION]basis points per annum (except in respect of the Standby Fee) and the Standby Fee will be increased by [DELETION]basis points per annum, in each case, pursuant to the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment in respect of the applicable Adjusted Pricing Period.

Subject to the above, any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment will remain in place for the relevant Adjusted Pricing Period until the next Adjusted Pricing Period commences. [Values have been deleted for confidentiality reasons.] (4) If (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Sustainability Structuring Agent becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in a SPT Metric or the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment as reported in any Sustainability Certificate, or (ii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents agree that a SPT Metric or the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment as calculated by the Borrower at the time of delivery of any Sustainability Certificate was materially inaccurate, and, in each case, a proper calculation of the SPT Metric or the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment would have resulted in (x) an increase in the Applicable Margin for the relevant Adjusted Pricing Period, then the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the rateable benefit of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such Adjusted Pricing Period, or (y) a decrease in the Applicable Margin for the relevant Adjusted Pricing Period, then the Borrower shall receive a credit against subsequent interest payable on the Advances or fees payable pursuant to Article 3, in an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that were actually paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such Adjusted Pricing Period. It is understood and agreed that any inaccuracies in the SPT Metrics or the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment shall not
- 60 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT constitute a Default or Event of Default, provided that the Borrower complies with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.9. (5) If the Borrower determines in good faith that it is not possible to calculate an SPT Metric for any Fiscal Year for any reason (the “Specified SPT Metric”), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents of such determination in writing and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and the Borrower will negotiate in good faith to agree on the selection of an alternative measure that is customarily applied by Persons carrying out similar businesses or being subject to similar incentives in lieu of the Specified SPT Metric (the “Alternative SPT Metric”). If after thirty (30) days from the day on which the Borrower provided such notice to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents: (i) the Borrower and Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) agree on the selection of an Alternative SPT Metric, then the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment shall be calculated based on such Alternative SPT Metric and the other SPT Metrics, excluding the Specified SPT Metric, or (ii) the Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents do not agree on the selection of an Alternative SPT Metric (or the Majority Lenders do not consent to the Alternative SPT Metric), then the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment shall be calculated based on the other SPT Metrics, excluding the Specified SPT Metric, and, in each case, the Borrower shall deliver a Sustainability Certificate containing the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment calculated on the basis of either (i) or (ii) above, as applicable. (6) The Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents of any material inaccuracy in a SPT Metric or the Sustainability Pricing Adjustment as reported in any Sustainability Certificate of which it is aware, setting forth the details thereof. (7) Any failure to deliver a Sustainability Certificate shall not be an Event of Default. No Sustainability Pricing Adjustment shall apply at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Section 3.10 Interest on Overdue Amounts The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders interest on overdue amounts both before and after demand, default and judgment at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue amounts in US Dollars, the aggregate of the US Base Rate, the Applicable Margin for USBR Loans and [DELETION]% per annum, and (b) in the case of overdue amounts in Canadian Dollars, the aggregate of the Prime Rate, the Applicable Margin for Prime Loans and [DELETION]% [Percentages have been deleted for confidentiality reasons.] per annum, in each case calculated on a daily basis on the actual number of days elapsed in a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, computed from the date the amount becomes due for so long as the amount remains overdue. Such interest shall be payable upon written demand made by the Administrative Agent and shall be compounded on each Interest Payment Date. Section 3.11 Interest Act For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), where in this Agreement a rate of interest is to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate is equivalent is the rate multiplied by the number of days in the year for which the
- 61 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT calculation is made and divided by 360, 365 or 366, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. Section 3.12 Limit on Rate of Interest (1) Adjustment. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding that provision, that amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or result in a receipt by that Lender of interest at a criminal rate, the adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (a) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the affected Lender under this Section 3.12; and (b) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). (2) Reimbursement. Notwithstanding Section 3.12(1), and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to the excess, and pending reimbursement, the amount of the excess shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower. (3) Actuarial Principles. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 3.12 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Advance remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of interest (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Restatement Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of that determination. Section 3.13 Change in Circumstances (1) Reduction in Rate of Return. If at any time any Lender determines, acting reasonably, that any change in any Applicable Law or any interpretation thereof after the date of this Agreement, or compliance by the Lender with any direction, requirement, guidelines or policies or request from any regulatory authority given after the date of this Agreement, whether or not having the force of law, has or would have, as a consequence of a Lender’s obligation under this Agreement, and taking into consideration the Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy, the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital to a level below that which the Lender would have achieved but for the change or compliance, then from time to time, upon
- 62 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT demand of the Lender, the Borrower shall pay the Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the Lender for the reduction. (2) Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy, etc. If, after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of any Applicable Law or any change or introduction of a change in any Applicable Law (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any Governmental Authority, central bank or other authority or entity charged with the administration thereof, or any change in the compliance of any Lender therewith now or hereafter or the designation of the Borrower as a public sector entity in competition for the purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines applicable to Canadian chartered banks: (a) subjects any Lender to, or causes the withdrawal or termination of a previously granted exemption with respect 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 the Borrower to the Lender under or by virtue of this Agreement (except for Excluded Taxes); (b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, deposit insurance or similar requirement 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 in respect of any Advance or any other condition with respect to this Agreement; (c) imposes on a Lender or requires to be maintained by a Lender any additional capital in respect of the Credit Facility; or (d) imposes any Tax on reserves or deemed reserves with respect to the undrawn portion of the Commitment of any Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing, in the sole determination of the Lender acting reasonably, shall be to increase the cost to, or reduce the amount received or receivable by the Lender or its effective rate of return in respect of making, maintaining or funding an Advance hereunder, upon becoming aware of such event, the Lender shall, acting reasonably, determine that amount of money which shall compensate the Lender for the increase in cost or reduction in income. (3) Deemed Change in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the purposes of Section 3.13(1) and Section 3.13(2), (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Bank 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 to be a change in Applicable Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. (4) Payment of Additional Compensation. Upon a Lender having determined that it is entitled to compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.13 (“Additional Compensation”), the Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a photocopy of the relevant Applicable Law or request, as applicable, and a certificate of an officer of the Lender
- 63 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT setting forth the Additional Compensation and the basis of calculation thereof, which shall be conclusive evidence of the Additional Compensation in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender within thirty (30) Business Days of the giving of notice the Additional Compensation for the account of the Lender accruing from the date of the notification. The Lender shall be entitled to be paid Additional Compensation from time to time to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.13 are then applicable notwithstanding that the Lender has previously been paid Additional Compensation (but without duplication). (5) Commercially Reasonable. If it is commercially reasonable in the opinion of a Lender receiving Additional Compensation under this Section 3.13, the Lender shall make reasonable efforts to limit the incidence of that Additional Compensation, including seeking recovery for the account of the Borrower following the Borrower’s request and at the Borrower’s expense, if the Lender, in its sole determination, would suffer no material economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage as a result. Section 3.14 Payment of Portion Notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement, if a Lender gives the notice provided for in Section 3.13 with respect to any Advance (an “Affected Borrowing”), the Borrower may, at its option, upon thirty (30) Business Days notice to that Lender (which notice shall be irrevocable), repay to the Lender in full the Affected Borrowing outstanding together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so repaid up to the date of repayment, together with such Additional Compensation as may be applicable to the date of payment.

If any change shall only affect a portion of any Lender’s obligations under this Agreement which is, in the opinion of the Lender, 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 Lender or the Borrower under this Agreement, the Lender shall only declare its obligations under that portion so terminated.

(3) Certificate. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or the affected Lender, as the case may be, setting out the basis for the determination of the amount necessary to indemnify the applicable Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the correctness of that determination.

- 71 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT Section 5.2 Taxes (1) Payments. All payments to be made by or on behalf of the Borrower under or with respect to this Agreement are to be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law. If the Borrower is required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (a) the amount payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to, and taking into account all Taxes on, or arising by reason of the payment of, additional amounts under this Section 5.2), the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, receives and retains an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been required, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, and (c) the Borrower shall remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with Applicable Laws and provide evidence of payment to the Administrative Agent if requested.

The Borrower shall also indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) that may arise as a consequence of the execution, sale, transfer, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Document. The indemnifications contained in this Section 5.2(2) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor. (3) Tax Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines in its good faith that it has received and retained a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or a Guarantor (including by payment of additional amounts under Section 5.2(1)), it shall pay to the Borrower or applicable Guarantor, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments and payment of additional amounts made under this Section 5.2 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower or Guarantor, upon the request of the Lender or Administrative Agent, shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or Guarantor to the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be (plus any penalties, interest or other amounts imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority), if such Lender or Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2(3), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay an amount to the Borrower or a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.2(3) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, in a less favourable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or the Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to the refund had never been paid.
- 72 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT This Section 5.2(3) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower, a Guarantor or any other Person. (4) Excluded Taxes. For the purpose of Section 3.13(2)(a) and this Section 5.2, “Excluded Taxes” means, in relation to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, any Taxes imposed on the net income or capital or franchise of the Administrative Agent or the Lender by any Governmental Authority as a result of the Administrative Agent or the Lender (a) carrying on a trade or business or having a permanent establishment or lending office in any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof, (b) being organized under the laws of such jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof, or (c) being or being deemed to be resident in such jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof. “Excluded Taxes” shall also exclude any branch profits tax or any similar tax imposed by any jurisdiction in which the Lender is located. (5) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Document shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, (a) any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements, and (b) any Lender that ceases to be, or to be deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the ITA shall within five (5) days thereof notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing. (6) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any 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 US Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the US Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (7) Survival. The Borrower’s, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ and Administrative Agent’s obligations under this Section 5.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable under or with respect to this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that, after the exercise of any rights pursuant to Section 10.2, it will at any time or from time to time, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, as required by any other Lender, purchase portions of the amounts due and owing to the other Lenders (other than by way of Hedge Contract) and make any other adjustments which may be necessary or appropriate so that the amounts due and owing to each Lender (other than by way of Hedge Contract), as adjusted under this Section 12.18, will, as nearly as possible, reflect each Lender’s Rateable Portion determined as at the date of this Agreement prior to the making of any Advance. (2) General Application. For greater certainty, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that, without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 12.18(1), those provisions will have application if and whenever any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of any money owing or payable by the Borrower to it in excess of its Rateable Portion thereof determined as at the date of this Agreement prior to the making of any Advance. (3) Borrower Agreement.

Each of the Lenders hereby directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 12.19 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

For greater certainty in respect of such indemnification, the Administrative Agent may rely upon any indemnity provided in this Agreement and, in addition, it may request and shall receive any additional indemnity as it deems necessary under this Section 12.20. Section 12.21 Administrative Agent May Debit Accounts The Borrower authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to debit automatically, by mechanical, electronic or manual means, any bank account of the Borrower maintained with Royal (for so long as Royal is Administrative Agent) for all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Document, including the repayment of principal and the payment of interest, fees and all charges for the keeping of that bank account. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the particulars of those debits in the normal course. Section 12.22 Erroneous Payments (1) If the Administrative Agent (a) notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank (any such Lender, Issuing Bank or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 12.22(2)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (b) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 12.22 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, (i) in respect of amounts in US Dollars, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, or (ii) in respect of amounts in Canadian Dollars, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
- 110 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 12.22(1) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (2) Without limiting Section 12.22(1), each Lender, Issuing Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (a) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (b) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (c) that such Lender or Issuing Bank, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case: (i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (a) or (b), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (c)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and (ii) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.22(2). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.22(2) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 12.22(1) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made. (3) Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under Section 12.22(1). (4) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with Section 12.22(1), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the
- 111 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (a) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments ) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Loan”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loan, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (b) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (c) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (d) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (e) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (5) Subject to Article 13 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (a) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (b) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time. (6) The parties hereto agree that (a) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Issuing
- 112 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT Bank, as the case may be) under the Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Borrower’s Obligations under the Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (b) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Guarantor; provided that this Section 12.22 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. (7) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. (8) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.22 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Document. ARTICLE 13 – ASSIGNS AND PARTICIPANTS Section 13.1 Assignment and Participation (1) Benefit and Burden of this Agreement. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto, their respective successors and any permitted Assignees. (2) Borrower. The Borrower may not assign, delegate or transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, except as permitted by Section 9.2(7). (3) Assignment and Participation. (a) Any Lender (herein sometimes called a “Granting Lender”) may grant a participation in the Credit Facility to one or more financial institutions or other entities (a “Participant”); provided, that prior to an Event of Default, a Lender shall not grant a participation in the Credit Facility to (i) a Person if such participation would increase the cost of the Credit Facility to the Borrower in respect of payments made to the Lender and/or the Participant or (ii) a Person that is a direct business competitor of the Borrower. If a participation is granted, (i) the Granting Lender shall remain fully liable for all of its obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement to the same extent as if the participation had
- 113 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT not been granted, and (ii) the Granting Lender shall administer the participation of the Participant. None of the Participant, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have any rights against or obligations to one another, nor shall any of them be required to deal directly with one another in respect of the participation by a Participant. A Participant shall have no voting rights as “Lenders” under this Agreement. (b) Any Lender (herein sometimes called an “Assigning Lender”) may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Facility to one or more financial institutions or other entities (other than any Defaulting Lender) (each an “Assignee”); provided, that prior to an Event of Default, a Lender shall not assign its rights or obligations under the Credit Facility to (i) a Person if such assignment would increase the cost of the Credit Facility to the Borrower in respect of payments made to the Assignee or (ii) a Person that is a direct business competitor of the Borrower; and, provided further, (i) that if an assignment relates to a Letter of Credit, such assignment must be approved by the Issuing Bank (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender with a Commitment under the Credit Facility, and (ii) that each such assignment shall be in minimum amounts of US$[DELETION]. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender shall assign any portion of its Commitment if, after that assignment, the Assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment would be less than US$[DELETION]. An assignment shall become effective when the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have been notified of it by the Assigning Lender and have received from the parties to the assignment an executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of Schedule 13.1(3)(b) (addressed to all the parties to this Agreement) and the Administrative Agent has received from the Assignee an assignment fee of a minimum of Cdn$[DELETION] per Lender per assignment [Amounts have been deleted for confidentiality reasons.]. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party under this Agreement in respect of the rights and obligations assigned to it, and the Assigning Lender shall be released and discharged accordingly and to the same extent, and such Schedules as applicable shall be amended accordingly from time to time without further notice or other requirement. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the Assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advances or the Commitment assigned. (4) Limitation. No Lender shall be entitled to grant a participation under Section 13.1(3)(a), make an assignment under Section 13.1(3)(b) or change its Branch of Account if this would, immediately following the assignment, participation or change of Branch of Account, increase the cost of the Credit Facility to the Borrower. (5) Borrower Cooperation. The Borrower will, at the Lenders’ expense (exclusive of the fees of legal counsel to the Borrower), execute such further documents and instruments and do
- 114 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT such further things as the Administrative Agent or Lenders may reasonably request for the purpose of any participation or assignment. (6) Revised Fee Arrangement. With respect to a Lender who assigns Bankers’ Acceptances and SOFR Loans which are outstanding on the date hereof, provided that such Bankers’ Acceptances and SOFR Loans shall remain the liability and obligation of the Assignee and the Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights, titles and benefits arising out of this Agreement and the other Documents with respect to such Bankers’ Acceptances (including reimbursement rights) and SOFR Loans, the Assignee shall be entitled to a proportionate amount of the fees and interest paid in respect of such Bankers’ Acceptances and SOFR Loans based upon the number of days remaining in the term of any such Bankers’ Acceptances or SOFR Loans, as applicable, as agreed to between the Assignee and the Assigning Lender. (7) Disclosure. Subject to Section 14.14, each Lender may disclose to any prospective Assignee or Participant, on a confidential basis, such information concerning the Borrower (including any such information provided to the Lender by the Borrower) as it considers appropriate without incurring any liability for any breach of the duty of banker-customer confidentiality or otherwise, except in circumstances of gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Lender. Section 13.2 Assignment After Event of Default Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, where an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise restrict the right of a Lender to assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under or with respect to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such assignment shall not require the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Section 13.3 Sustainability Matters It is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents make no assurances as to (i) whether this Agreement meets any criteria or expectations of the Borrower or any Lender with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, or (ii) whether the characteristics of the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators included in the Agreement, including any environmental and sustainability criteria or any computation methodology with respect thereto, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities. It is further understood and agreed that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Borrower of (i) the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators or (ii) any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Sustainability Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry, when implementing any such pricing adjustment).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination may be validly effected by execution by the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, of an instrument in writing, without requiring the execution of that instrument by the Borrower or any Guarantor, so long as the amendment, waiver, discharge or termination does not adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Document. The Administrative Agent shall forward a copy of the written instrument to the Borrower or any Guarantor as the case may be, as soon as practicable following the execution thereof. The amendment, waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance, for the specific purpose and for the specific length of time for which it is given. For greater certainty, any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Document that relates to the rights or obligations of the Issuing Bank shall require the written agreement of the Issuing Bank. (2) Errors. The Administrative Agent may correct any typographical error or other error of a clerical nature in this Agreement and the other Documents and substitute the corrected text in the counterparts of this Agreement and the other Documents if the corrections do not modify in any manner the meaning or the interpretation of this Agreement or any other Document and if the Administrative Agent gives the Borrower not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice of any correction and the Borrower does not object in writing to such correction within a period of five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice. (3) Approval of All Lenders. Where any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination relates to the following matters, the amendment, waiver, discharge or termination requires the approval of all Lenders: (a) a decrease in the rate or amount of any principal, interest or fees or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any alteration in the currency or mode of calculation or computation thereof; (b) any extension or reduction of the time for any payments required to be made by the Borrower; (c) any change in the Maturity Date;

Any other amendment, waiver, discharge or termination requires the approval of only the Majority Lenders, which approval, if obtained, shall be binding upon all the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Documents or to enter into additional Documents as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in order to implement any CDN Benchmark Replacement or US Benchmark Replacement, or any CDN Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change or US Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 3.17 or Section 3.18 in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (a), (b) or (e) above and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification. (4) Request for Approval. If the approval of a Lender is required under this Section 14.1, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lender in writing of the issue to be decided and, if the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that it is appropriate to do so, request the Lender’s approval of a course of action proposed by the Administrative Agent. In requesting a ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s approval, the Administrative Agent may establish, in its discretion acting reasonably, a deadline by which the Lender shall respond to the Administrative Agent’s request. If the Lender
- 117 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT fails to respond by that deadline, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to respond shall be conclusive evidence of the disapproval by the Lender of the course of action proposed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and acting reasonably, extend the deadline set by the Administrative Agent by which the Lender shall respond to the Administrative Agent’s request. (5) Replacement Lender. In the event that in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 14.1(3), the consent of the Majority Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”) the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Advances and its Commitment in full to one or more Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any assignment from the Non- Consenting Lender; provided that: (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing; (b) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (a) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Advances of the Terminated Lender, (b) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (c) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to this Agreement; (c) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender in respect to any break-funding costs or otherwise owed as a consequence of such repayment or otherwise as if it were a prepayment; (d) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay the assignment fee required to be paid pursuant to Section 13.1(3)(b) to the Administrative Agent; (e) all of the requirements, as applicable, for such assignment contained in Section 13.1 shall have been satisfied; and (f) each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided that, the Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also the Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the Borrower shall cause each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank to be cancelled or cash collateralized or otherwise supported in a manner satisfactory to the Issuing Bank. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such
- 118 - EXECUTION COPY LEGAL_40684257.2 SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT Terminated Lender’s Commitment, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.
