If a Conversion or Rollover Notice is not delivered to the Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Conversion Date or Rollover Date, as applicable, any LIBOR Advances outstanding on any such Conversion Date or Rollover Date shall be deemed to be converted or rolled over, as applicable, into a US Base Rate Advance, and any Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes outstanding on any such Conversion Date or Rollover Date shall be deemed to be converted or rolled over, as applicable, into a Prime Rate Advance.

(3) Each Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as the case may be, shall be delivered by the Borrower on a Business Day on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) to the Agent.

2.09 Irrevocability

A Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as the case may be, given by the Borrower hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall oblige the Borrower to take the action contemplated on the date specified therein.

2.10 Cancellation or Permanent Reduction of the Revolving Facility

The Borrower may, at any time, upon giving at least two (2) Business Days prior notice to the Agent, cancel in full or, from time to time, permanently reduce in whole or in part the Revolving Facility; provided, however that any reduction under the Revolving Facility shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and increments of $100,000. If the Revolving Facility is so reduced, the Commitments of each of the Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in the same proportion that the amount of the reduction in the Revolving Facility bears to the then current Commitments of the Lenders in effect immediately prior to such reduction.

2.11 Termination of LIBOR Advances

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

(a)

the LIBO Rate does not adequately reflect the effective cost to the Lender of making or maintaining a LIBOR Advance; or

(b)

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

then the Lender shall inform the Agent and upon at least four (4) Business Days written notice by the Agent to the Borrower,

(c)

the right of the Borrower to request LIBOR Advances for such period from that Lender shall be and remain suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrower that any condition causing such determination no longer exists; and

- 25 -

(d)

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

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

ARTICLE 5 - PAYMENTS OF INTEREST

5.01 Interest on Prime Rate Advances

The Borrower shall pay interest on each Prime Rate Advance during each Interest Period applicable thereto in Canadian Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Prime Rate in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus (ii) the Prime Rate Margin. Each determination by the Agent of the Prime Rate and the Prime Rate Margin applicable from time to time shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding upon the Borrower. Subject to Section 5.07, such interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Advance for the period from and including the Drawdown Date or the preceding Conversion Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, for such Advance to and including the day preceding such Interest Payment Date and shall be calculated on the principal amount of the Prime Rate Advance outstanding during such period and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be. Changes in the Prime Rate shall cause an immediate adjustment of the interest rate applicable to such Advance without the necessity of any notice to the Borrower.

5.02 Interest on US Base Rate Advances

Each determination by the Agent of the LIBO Rate and the LIBO Rate Margin applicable from time to time for an Interest Period shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding upon the Borrower. Subject to Section 5.07, such interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Advance for the period from and including the Drawdown Date or the preceding Conversion Date, Rollover Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, for such Advance to and including the day preceding such Interest Payment Date and shall be calculated on the principal amount of the LIBOR Advance outstanding during such period and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 360.

All payments (whether interest or otherwise) to be made by the Borrower or any other party pursuant to this Agreement are to be made in freely transferable, immediately available funds and without set-off or deduction of any kind whatsoever (whether for deemed reinvestment or otherwise) except to the extent required by Applicable Law, and if any such set-off or deduction is so required and is made, the Borrower or any other party will, as a separate and independent obligation to each Lender, be obligated to immediately pay to each Lender all such additional amounts as may be required to fully indemnify and save harmless such Lender from such set-off or deduction and will result in the effective receipt by such Lender of all the amounts otherwise payable to it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For greater certainty, the Borrower shall not be required to make any payment under this Section 5.04 in respect of amounts which are expressly not required to be made as provided for under Section 3.2 of Schedule AA.

(1) If all or part of any Prime Rate Advance or US Base Rate Advance shall not be paid when due (whether at its stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest (as well after as before judgment), payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable under this Agreement from time to time to such type of Advance from the date of such non-payment until paid in full. If any LIBOR Advance shall not be paid when due (whether at its stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest (as well after as before judgment), payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable under this Agreement from time to time to US Base Rate Advances from the date of such non-payment until paid in full.

ARTICLE 6 - BANKERS’ ACCEPTANCES AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

6.01 Bankers’ Acceptances

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

(2) Notwithstanding Section 6.01(1), the Borrower will from time to time as required by the applicable Lender provide to the Lenders an appropriate number of Drafts drawn by the Borrower upon each BA Lender and either payable to a clearing service (if such BA Lender is a member thereof) or payable to the Borrower and endorsed in blank by the Borrower (if such BA Lender is not a member of such clearing service) and an appropriate number of BA Equivalent Notes in favour of each Non BA Lender. The dates, the maturity dates and the principal amounts of all Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes delivered by the Borrower shall be left blank, to be completed by the Lenders as required by this Agreement. All such Drafts or BA Equivalent

- 30 -

Notes shall be held by each Lender subject to the same degree of care as if they were such Lender’s own property kept at the place at which the Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes are ordinarily kept by such Lender. Each Lender, upon written request of the Borrower, will promptly advise the Borrower of the number and designation, if any, of the Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes then held by it. No Lender shall be liable for its failure to accept a Draft or purchase a BA Equivalent Note as required by this Agreement if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to the failure of the Borrower to provide on a timely basis appropriate Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes to the applicable Lender as may be requested by such Lender on a timely basis from time to time.

(3) The Agent, promptly following receipt of a Drawdown Notice requesting Bankers’ Acceptances, shall (i) advise each BA Lender of the face amount and the term of the Draft to be accepted by it and (ii) advise each applicable Non BA Lender of the face amount and term of the BA Equivalent Note to be purchased by it. All Drafts to be accepted from time to time by each BA Lender that is a member of a clearing service shall be payable to such clearing service. The term of all Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes issued pursuant to any Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice shall be identical. Each Bankers’ Acceptance and BA Equivalent Note shall be dated the Drawdown Date on which it is issued and shall be for a term of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months, subject to availability. The face amount of the Draft (or the aggregate face amount of the Drafts) to be accepted at any time by each Lender which is a BA Lender, and the face amount of the BA Equivalent Notes to be purchased at any time by each Lender which is a Non BA Lender, shall be determined by the Agent based upon the amounts of their respective Commitments under the Revolving Facility. In determining a Lender’s Proportionate Share of a request for Bankers’ Acceptances, the Agent, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to increase or decrease the face amount of any Draft, or BA Equivalent Note to the nearest $1,000.

(4) Each BA Lender shall complete and accept on the applicable Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date, a Draft having a face amount (or Drafts having the face amounts) and term advised by the Agent pursuant to subsection 6.01(3). Each applicable BA Lender shall purchase on the applicable Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date, the Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by it, for an aggregate price equal to the BA Discount Proceeds of such Bankers’ Acceptance. The Borrower shall ensure that there is delivered to each applicable BA Lender that is a member of a clearing service the completed Bankers’ Acceptances, and such BA Lender is hereby authorized to release the Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by it to such clearing house upon receipt of confirmation that such clearing house holds such Bankers’ Acceptance for the account of such BA Lender.

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

- 31 -

Lender such replacement BA Equivalent Notes and such Non BA Lender shall return the original BA Equivalent Note to the Borrower for cancellation.

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

(7) Upon acceptance of each Draft or purchase of each BA Equivalent Note, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lender the related fee specified in Section 6.01(6), and to facilitate payment such Lender shall be entitled to deduct and retain for its own account the amount of such fee from the amount to be transferred by such Lender to the Agent for the account of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the sale of the related Bankers’ Acceptance or of such BA Equivalent Note.

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

(9) On the date of maturity of each Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the holder of such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, in Canadian Dollars an amount equal to the face amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, as the case may be. The obligation of the Borrower to make such payment shall not be prejudiced by the fact that the holder of such Bankers’ Acceptance is the Lender that accepted such Bankers’ Acceptances. No days of grace shall be claimed by the Borrower for the payment at maturity of any Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note. If the Borrower does not make such payment, from the proceeds of an Advance obtained under this Agreement or otherwise, the amount of such required payment shall be deemed to be a Prime Rate Advance to the Borrower from the Lender that accepted such Banker’s Acceptance or purchased such BA Equivalent Note.

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

- 32 -

6.02 Letters of Credit

(1) If the Borrower wishes to request an Advance by way of issuance of Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall, at the time it delivers the notice required pursuant to Section 2.06, execute and deliver the Issuing Bank’s usual documentation relating to the issuance and administration of Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, all reimbursement and indemnity agreements). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of such documentation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

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

(3) No Letter of Credit may be issued for a period in excess of one year. Letters of Credit which are issued under the Revolving Facility may be used by the Borrower for working capital requirements, and may not, for greater certainty, be used to guarantee obligations of Persons who are not Obligors.

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

(a)

the Agent shall:

(i)

promptly notify the applicable Borrower and each of the applicable Lenders of such demand; and

(ii)

make demand on each of the applicable Lenders for an amount equal to its Proportionate Share of such relevant amount;

(b)

pay such relevant amount on the date upon which such relevant amount becomes payable under the Letter of Credit;

(c)

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

(d)

the Agent shall pay such relevant amount to the Issuing Bank.

(5) Where a demand for payment is made under a Letter of Credit issued in Canadian Dollars or US Dollars, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Prime Rate Advance or US Base Rate Advance, respectively, of the amount demanded from the Issuing Bank. Where a demand for payment is made under a Letter of Credit issued in any other currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a US Base Rate Advance in the Equivalent Amount of US Dollars in respect of Letters of Credit issued under the Revolving Facility of the amount demanded from the Issuing Bank. In each case payment will be made by the Borrower of all charges and expenses payable to or incurred by the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in connection with payment being made under such Letter of Credit.

- 33 -

(6) The Borrower hereby undertakes to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders from time to time on demand by the Agent from and against all liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any costs incurred in funding any amount which falls due from the Issuing Bank and any Lender under any Letter of Credit hereunder) to the extent that such liabilities or costs are not satisfied or compensated by the payment of interest on sums due pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Letter of Credit except where such liabilities or costs result from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the person claiming indemnification.

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

(8) A certificate of the Agent and/or the Issuing Bank as to the amounts paid by any Lender pursuant to this Section 6.02 or the amount paid out under any Letter of Credit shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amount of such payment in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection herewith.

(9) For so long as any Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a fee equal to the Letter of Credit Fee Rate on the amount of each Letter of Credit, in the Equivalent Amount of US Dollars in respect of Letters of Credit issued under the Revolving Facility and such fee will be paid in the currency of such Letter of Credit. In addition, concurrently with the payment of such fee to the Agent, the Borrower shall also pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank a fronting fee equal to 0.10% per annum on the face amount of each Letter of Credit in the currency of such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall each be calculated on the basis of a calendar year and the number of days the Letter of Credit will be outstanding during such period and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, beginning on the first Business Day of the Fiscal Quarter immediately following the Fiscal Quarter in which such Letter of Credit is issued.

The Borrower shall also pay the standard fees and charges of the Issuing Bank in effect from time to time for issuing, renewing and amending Letters of Credit.

(10) The full amount available to be drawn (whether or not the beneficiary can satisfy the conditions to draw) of each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank on behalf of the Borrower shall be deemed to be an Advance under the Revolving Facility which Advance shall be retired upon the earlier of:

- 34 -

(i)

the return of the Letter of Credit to the Issuing Bank for cancellation;

(ii)

the expiration date of the Letter of Credit; or

(iii)

the deeming of the undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit to be a Prime Rate Advance or a US Base Rate Advance, as applicable, under the Revolving Facility.

(11) If any Letter of Credit is outstanding upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall if required by the Agent forthwith pay to the Agent an amount (the “deposit amount”) equal to the undrawn principal amount of the outstanding Letter of Credit, which deposit amount shall be held by the Agent for application against the indebtedness owing by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank in respect of any draw on the outstanding Letter of Credit. In the event that the Issuing Bank is not called upon to make full payment on the outstanding Letter of Credit prior to its expiry date, the deposit amount, or any part thereof as has not been paid out, shall, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be returned to the Borrower.

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

(i)

any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or the Letters of Credit;

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

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

(13) The Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the Issuing Bank harmless from all losses, damages, costs, demands, claims, expenses (including out-of-pocket expenses) and other consequences which the Issuing Bank may incur, sustain or suffer, other than as a result of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, as a result of issuing or amending a Letter of Credit, including legal and other expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in any action to

- 35 -

compel payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit or to restrain the Issuing Bank from making payment under a Letter of Credit. Any amounts due under this indemnity shall form part of the Obligations.

It is understood and agreed that the Issuing Bank shall not have any liability for, and that the Borrower assumes all responsibility for: (i) the genuineness of any signature; (ii) the form, validity, genuineness, falsification and legal effect of any draft, certification or other document required by a Letter of Credit or the authority of the Person signing the same; (iii) the failure of any instrument to bear any reference or adequate reference to a Letter of Credit or the failure of any Persons to note the amount of any instrument on the reverse of a Letter of Credit or to surrender a Letter of Credit; (iv) the good faith or acts of any Person other than the Issuing Bank and its agents and employees; (v) the existence, form or sufficiency or breach or default under any agreement or instruments of any nature whatsoever; (vi) any delay in giving or failure to give any notice, demand or protest; and (vii) any error, omission, delay in or non-delivery of any notice or other communication, however sent. The determination as to whether the required documents are presented prior to the expiration of a Letter of Credit and whether such other documents are in proper and sufficient form for compliance with a Letter of Credit shall be made by the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent manifest error. It is agreed that the Issuing Bank may honour, as complying with the terms of a Letter of Credit and this Agreement, any documents otherwise in order and signed or issued by the beneficiary thereof. Any action, inaction or omission on the part of the Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related instruments or documents, if in good faith and in conformity with such laws, regulations or commercial or banking customs as the Issuing Bank may reasonably deem to be applicable, shall be binding upon the Borrower, and shall not affect, impair or prevent the vesting of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder or the Borrower’s obligation to make full reimbursement of amounts drawn under the Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the provision of this Section 6.02(13), the Borrower shall not be responsible for and no Person shall be relieved of responsibility for any gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Person.

ARTICLE 7- REPAYMENT

7.01 Mandatory Repayment of Principal of the Revolving Facility on Demand

(1) Subject to the terms hereof, the Borrower shall repay all Obligations in connection with the Revolving Facility, including the outstanding principal amount of all Advances thereunder together with all accrued interest, fees and other amounts then unpaid by it with respect to such Advances, the Commitments under the Revolving Facility (which, for greater certainty, shall include all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Agent under Section 6.01(9) with respect to any Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes and all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Agent under Section 6.02(11) with respect to Letters of Credit) in full on demand upon written notice being delivered by the Agent to the Borrower, and the Revolving Facility and the Commitments thereunder shall be automatically terminated on the date that such written notice is delivered by the Agent to the Borrower.

(2) Any Lender acting alone (or together with other Lenders) may instruct the Agent to demand repayment of any or all Obligations at any time, or cancel any or all of its

- 36 -

Proportionate Share of the Commitments of the Revolving Facility at any time. Upon receiving such instructions from such Lender or Lenders, the Agent shall take all actions requested by the Lender or Lenders.

(3) For greater certainty, the failure by the Borrower to repay any or all Obligations on demand by the Agent shall constitute an Event of Default for the purposes of this Agreement, the Security and the other Loan Documents.

7.02 Voluntary Repayments and Reductions

Subject to the Agent receiving a Repayment Notice which shall be given not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed repayment date and which shall be irrevocable, the Borrower may from time to time repay Advances outstanding under the Revolving Facility without premium, penalty or bonus provided that each such repayment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of Cdn.$1,000,000 and in whole multiples of Cdn.$100,000 for Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars and in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and in whole multiples of $100,000 for Advances denominated in United States Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) LIBOR Advances may not be repaid prior to the end of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period unless the Borrower pays to the Agent (for the account of each Lender) an amount equal to all Breakage Costs; and (ii) Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes and Letters of Credit may not be repaid prior to their respective maturity or expiry dates but may be cash collateralized along with delivery of such documentation as may be required by the Agent as specified in Section 7.04. The determination of the amount of any Breakage Costs resulting from, arising out of, or imposed upon or incurred by any Lender as a result of the repayment of any LIBOR Advance prior to the end of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period, when evidenced by a certificate from that Lender giving a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such loss, cost or expense, shall be prima facie evidence of the same.

7.03 Excess Over the Maximum Amounts

(1) If the Agent determines that on any day as a result of currency fluctuations the aggregate of (a) Advances in US Dollars then outstanding under the Revolving Facility, and (b) the Equivalent Amount in US Dollars of Advances in Canadian Dollars then outstanding under the Revolving Facility on such day exceeds the Commitments in respect of the Revolving Facility, the Agent shall notify the Borrower that such an event has occurred, and the Borrower shall immediately upon receipt of such notice repay Advances under the Revolving Facility in an amount equal to such excess.

(2) If the Agent determines that on any day the aggregate of (a) Advances in US Dollars then outstanding under the Revolving Facility, and (b) the Equivalent Amount in US Dollars of Advances in Canadian Dollars then outstanding under the Revolving Facility on such day, exceeds the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall immediately repay Advances under the Revolving Facility in an amount equal to such excess.

7.04 Payment of Breakage Costs etc.

In connection with each voluntary or mandatory repayment hereunder (i) in connection with LIBOR Advances which are repaid prior to the end of the applicable LIBOR

- 37 -

Interest Period the Borrower shall pay to the Agent (for the account of each applicable Lender) all Breakage Costs; and (ii) in connection with Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes and Letters of Credit which are to be repaid prior to their respective maturity or expiry dates, the Borrower shall deposit cash with the Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Lenders) equal to the full face amount at maturity of such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note or the face amount of such Letters of Credit, as applicable, and shall concurrently deliver to the Agent a cash collateral agreement, supporting resolutions, certificates and opinions in form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders.

ARTICLE 8 - PLACE AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

8.01 Place of Payment of Principal, Interest and Fees

(1) The Borrower undertakes at all times when any Advance is outstanding or any other amount is owed by it under any Loan Document to maintain at the Agent’s Payment Branch an account in Cdn. Dollars and an account in US Dollars, which the Agent shall be entitled to debit with such amounts as are from time to time required to be paid by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, as and when such amounts are due. Without in any way limiting the rights of the Agent pursuant to the foregoing, unless otherwise specifically agreed between the Borrower and the Agent, the Borrower hereby directs the Agent to debit the aforesaid accounts with such amounts as are from time to time required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

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

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

- 38 -

aforesaid. A certificate of the Agent as to any amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence and containing reasonable details of the calculation of such amounts shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts so payable.

(4) If any amount which has been received by the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on any Business Day as provided above is not paid by the Agent to a Lender on such Business Day as required under this Agreement, the Agent shall immediately pay to such Lender on demand interest on such amount at the Interbank Reference Rate in respect of each day from and including the day such amount was required to be paid by the Agent to such Lender to the day such amount is so paid.

8.02 Netting of Payments

If, on any date, amounts would be due and payable under this Agreement in the same currency by the Borrower to the Lenders, or any one of them, and by the Lenders, or such Lender, to the Borrower, then, on such date, upon notice from the Agent or such Lender stating that netting is to apply to such payments, the obligations of each such party to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the Borrower to the Lenders, or such Lender, exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the Lenders, or such Lender, to the Borrower or vice versa, such obligations shall be replaced by an obligation upon whichever of the Borrower or the Lenders, or such Lender, would have had to pay the larger aggregate amount to pay to the other the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount. For greater certainty, prior to acceleration of repayment pursuant to Section 11.01, this Section 8.02 shall not permit any Lender to exercise a right of set-off, combination or similar right against any amount which the Borrower may have on deposit with such Lender in respect of any amount to which netting is to apply pursuant to this Section 8.02, but shall apply only to determine the net amount to be payable by the Lenders or one of them to the Borrower, or by the Borrower to the Lenders or one of them pursuant to the Loan Documents.

11.01 Acceleration and Termination of Rights

If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Obligations become immediately due and payable at the rate or rates determined as herein provided, to the date of actual payment thereof, all without notice, presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonour or

- 42 -

any other demand or notice whatsoever, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Obligor. In such event a Lender or the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, in their discretion, exercise any right or recourse and/or proceed by any action, suit, remedy or proceeding against any Obligor authorized or permitted by law for the recovery of all the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders and proceed to exercise any and all rights hereunder and under the Security and no such remedy for the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders shall be exclusive of or dependent on any other remedy but any one or more of such remedies may from time to time be exercised independently or in combination.

The Agent may reallocate all Advances pro rata among the Lenders in such manner as the Agent determines is equitable.

(1) Prior to an Event of Default that is continuing, all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement will be made to and received by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders and will be distributed by the Agent to the Lenders as soon as possible upon receipt by the Agent. Subject to Sections 8.02 and 11.10, the Agent will distribute to the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Proportionate Share:

(a)

payments of interest;

(b)

costs and expenses;

amounts received by the exercise of any right of set-off, consolidation of accounts, or by counterclaim or cross-action; and

all other payments received by the Agent.

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such distribution that would otherwise be made pursuant to Section 12.01(1)(c) or (d) on account of any outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes will be set aside in a separate collateral account for the primary benefit of the Lenders who have issued such Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes (and for the secondary benefit of the Lenders in respect of other Obligations) until and to the extent that such Obligations become matured and not contingent, at which time such distributions will be made to the Lenders for whose primary benefit such amounts are held, at which time such application will be made in accordance with Section 12.01(1)(c) or (d).

12.02 Knowledge and Required Action

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than the non-payment of any principal, interest or other amount to the extent the same is required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Event of Default and stating that such notice is given pursuant to this Section. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, it shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders, and shall also give prompt notice to the Lenders of each non-payment of any amount required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders. The Agent shall, subject to Section 12.03 take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed by the Lenders in accordance with this Article 12 provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such direction the Agent may, but shall not be obliged to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders; and provided further that the Agent in any case shall not be required to take any such action which it determines to be contrary to the Loan Documents or to any Applicable Law.

- 46 -

12.03 Request for Instructions

The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of any of the Loan Documents, the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any such action or to withhold any such approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever as a result thereof until it shall have received such instructions from the Lenders. No Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Loan Documents in accordance with instructions from the Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take or continue any action under the Loan Documents unless it shall have received further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 7.5 of Schedule AA against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action, and unless it shall be secured in respect thereof as it may deem appropriate.

(2) Any consent, approval (including without limitation any approval of or authorization for any amendment to any of the Loan Documents), instruction or other expression of the Lenders hereunder may also be included in a resolution that is submitted to a meeting or adjourned meeting of the Lenders duly called and held for the purpose of considering the same as hereinafter provided and shall be deemed to have been obtained if such resolution is passed by the affirmative vote of not less than 66 2/3% (or 100% in the event that there are fewer than five (5) Lenders) of the votes given on a poll of the Lenders with respect to such resolution. A meeting of Lenders may be called by the Agent and shall be called by the Agent upon the request of any two Lenders. Every such meeting shall be held in the City of Toronto or at such other reasonable place as the Agent may approve. At least seven (7) days’ notice of the time and place of any such meeting shall be given to the Lenders and shall include or be accompanied by a draft of the resolutions to be submitted to such meeting, but the notice may state that such draft is subject to amendment at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. The Lenders who are present in person or by proxy at the time and place specified in the notice shall constitute a quorum. A person nominated in writing by the Agent shall be chairman of the meeting. Lenders representing no less than 60% of the outstanding Advances must be present at a meeting or adjourned meeting. Upon every poll taken at any such meeting every Lender who is present in person or represented by a proxy duly appointed in writing (who need not be a Lender) shall be

- 47 -

entitled to one vote in respect of each $1 of its Commitment. In respect of all matters concerning the convening, holding and adjourning of Lenders’ meetings, the form, execution and deposit of instruments appointing proxies and all other relevant matters, the Agent may from time to time make such reasonable regulations not inconsistent with this subsection 12.04(2) as it shall deem expedient and any regulations so made by the Agent shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders.

(3) Notwithstanding subsection 12.04(1), without the consent of all the Lenders the Agent may not take the following actions:

(a)

amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the terms of this Agreement if such amendment, modification, discharge, termination or waiver would increase the amount of the Revolving Facility, reduce the fees payable, reduce interest rates or other amounts payable with respect to the Revolving Facility, extend any date fixed for payment of principal, interest or other amounts payable relating to the Revolving Facility, extend the repayment dates of the Revolving Facility, change the definition of Majority Lenders or Applicable Margin;

(b)

amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the Security (which, for certainty, includes guarantees) if the effect is to release a material part of the Property subject thereto otherwise than pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof; or

(c)

amend this Section 12.04(3).

(4) An instrument in writing from the Majority Lenders (any such instrument in writing being an “Approval Instrument”) shall (subject to the terms of Section 12.04(3)) be binding upon all of the Lenders, and the Agent (subject to the provisions for its indemnity contained in this Agreement) shall be bound to give effect thereto accordingly. For greater certainty, to the extent so authorized in the Approval Instrument, the Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver on behalf of the Agent and all of the Lenders, without the requirement for the execution by any other Lender or Lenders, any consents, waivers, documents or instruments (including without limitation any amendment to any of the Loan Documents) necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Agent to give effect to the matters approved by the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, in any Approval Instrument.

12.05 Provisions for Benefit of Lenders Only

The provisions of this Article 12, other than this Section 12.05 and the rights of the Borrower to receive notice as specified in this Article 12 relating to the rights and obligations of the Lenders and the Agent inter se shall be operative as between the Lenders and the Agent only, and the Obligors shall not have any rights under or be entitled to rely for any purposes upon such provisions.

(b)

if the Agent receives less than the full amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount owing by the Borrower under this Agreement, then subject to Section 8.02 the Agent shall have no obligation to remit to each Lender any amount other than such Lender’s Proportionate Share of that amount which is the amount actually received by the Agent;

(c)

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

(d)

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

(e)

upon request, the Agent shall deliver a statement detailing any of the payments to the Lenders referred to herein; and

(f)

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

(2) Unless the Agent has actual knowledge that the Borrower has not made or will not make a payment to the Agent for value on the date in respect of which the Borrower has notified the Agent that the payment will be made and except to the extent that the Agent has received notice under Section 8.02, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that such payment has been or will be received from the Borrower when due and the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to), in reliance upon such assumption, pay the Lenders corresponding amounts. If the payment by the Borrower is in fact not received by the Agent on the required date and the Agent has made available corresponding amounts to the Lenders, the Borrower shall, without limiting its other obligations under this Agreement, indemnify the Agent against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of profit), damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on or incurred by the Agent as a result. A certificate of the Agent with respect to any amount owing by the Borrower under this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owing in the absence of manifest error.

12.07 Acknowledgements, Representations and Covenants of Lenders

(3) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to advance its

Proportionate Share of Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is independent and in no way related to the obligation of any other Lender hereunder.

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

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

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

12.08 Rights of Agent

(1) In administering the Revolving Facility, the Agent may retain, at the expense of the Lenders if such expenses are not recoverable from the Borrower, such solicitors, counsel, auditors and other experts and agents as the Agent may select, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith after consultation with the Lenders.

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

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

- 50 -

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

(5) The Agent shall be entitled to scan and provide by email to the Lenders all financial information it receives from the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.02.

British Columbia is the Province for the purpose of Sections 11(a) and (b) of Schedule AA.

13.05 Judgement Currency

(1) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrower or any Obligor in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 13.05 referred to as the “Judgement Currency”) an amount due in Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding:

(a)

the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of the Province of British Columbia or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or

(b)

the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 13.05(1)(b) being hereinafter in this Section 13.05 referred to as the “Judgement Conversion Date”).

(2) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 13.05(1)(b), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgement Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgement Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars, as the case may be, which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgement Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgement Conversion Date.

(3) Any amount due from the Borrower under the provisions of Section 13.05(2) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement.

(4) The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 13.05 means the noon rate of exchange based on Canadian interbank transactions in Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars, as the case may be, in the Judgement Currency published or quoted by the Bank of Canada for the day in question, or if such rate is not so published or quoted by the Bank of Canada, such term shall mean the Equivalent Amount of the Judgement Currency.

13.06 Benefit of the Agreement

This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

- 53 -

13.07 Survival

The provisions of Section 9 of Schedule AA shall survive the repayment of all Advances, whether on account of principal, interest or fees, and the termination of this Agreement, unless a specific release of such provisions by the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, is delivered to the Borrower.

13.08 Severability

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.09 Whole Agreement

This Agreement amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and together with all other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties to this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Facility and the other matters contemplated in this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement, and supersedes the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and all other negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, with respect to the Revolving Facility. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a release or novation of any indebtedness outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and all Advances outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall continue as Advances outstanding under this Agreement.

13.10 Further Assurances

The Borrower shall provide and shall cause the Obligors to provide the Agent and the Lenders with such other documents, opinions, consents, acknowledgements and agreements as are within their control and reasonably necessary to implement this Agreement or the other Loan Documents from time to time.

13.13 Hypothecary Representation (Fondé de Pouvoir)

Without limiting the powers of the Agent pursuant to the terms hereof or of the Loan Documents, for the purposes of holding any Encumbrances granted by an Obligor under the laws of the Province of Quebec pursuant to the Security Documents, the Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be and act as the hypothecary representative (fondé de pouvoir) of all present and future Lenders for all purposes of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec (the “hypothecary representative”) and in particular for all present and future holders of any bond issued by any Obligor to the Agent and secured by a hypothec granted by such Obligor pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec. Each Lender therefore appoints, to the extent necessary, the Agent as its hypothecary representative (fondé de pouvoir) to hold the Encumbrances created pursuant to such Security Documents in order to secure the Obligations. By executing an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, each Eligible Assignee shall be deemed to ratify the appointment of the Agent as the hypothecary representative of such Eligible Assignee. The Agent accepts to act as hypothecary representative of all present and future Lenders for all purposes of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

13.14 Anti-Money Laundering Legislation

(1) The Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders and the Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrower, its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Borrower, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Agent, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender or the Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(2) If the Agent have ascertained the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(a)

shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and

(b)

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

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Agents have no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from the Borrower or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by, or the Letters of Credit issued or participated in by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph

- 3 -

(a) or (b) of this Section, including reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, except that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore, unless the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, in which case the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.2 Taxes

(a) Payments Subject to Taxes. If any Obligor, the Agent, or any Lender is required by Applicable Law to deduct or pay any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of an Obligor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased by that Obligor when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments (including deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments been required, (ii) the Obligor shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under Applicable Law and (iii) the Obligor shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds and Tax Reductions. If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which an Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section or that, because of the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes, it has benefited from a reduction in Excluded Taxes otherwise payable by it, it shall pay to the Borrower or Obligor, as applicable, an amount equal to such refund or reduction (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or Obligor under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or reduction), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any net after-Tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower or Obligor as applicable, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender if the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make

- 4 -

available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction.

3.3 Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders

(a) Designation of a Different Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.2 , then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.2, if any Lender’s obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 3.4 or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Advances hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon 10 days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) the Borrower pays the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10(b)(vi);

(ii) the assigning Lender receives payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances and participations in disbursements under Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any breakage costs and amounts required to be paid under this Agreement as a result of prepayment to a Lender) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

3.4 Illegality

If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any Advance (or to maintain its obligation to make any Advance), or to participate in, issue or maintain any Letter of Credit (or to maintain its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any particular rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of such Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if

- 5 -

conversion would avoid the activity that is unlawful, convert any Advances, or take any necessary steps with respect to any Letter of Credit in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.5 Inability to Determine Rates Etc.

If the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason a market for bankers’ acceptances does not exist at any time or the Lenders cannot for other reasons, after reasonable efforts, readily sell bankers’ acceptances or perform their other obligations under this Agreement with respect to bankers’ acceptances, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the Borrower’s right to request the acceptance of bankers’ acceptances shall be and remain suspended until the Majority Lenders determine and the Agent notifies the Borrower and each Lender that the condition causing such determination no longer exists. If the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan, or that the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing, conversion or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of US Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

4. Right of Setoff

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Obligor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that the Lenders or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. If any Affiliate of a Lender exercises any rights under this Section 4, it shall share the benefit received in accordance with Section 5 as if the benefit had been received by the Lender of which it is an Affiliate.

5. Sharing of Payments by Lenders

If any Lender, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains any payment or other reduction that might result in such Lender receiving payment or other reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other obligations hereunder greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such payment or other reduction shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances and other amounts owing them, provided that

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest,

- 6 -

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or participation in disbursements under Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to any Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply); and

(iii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (w) any payment made while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of obligations of the Borrower to such Lender that do not arise under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (x) any payment made in respect of an obligation that is secured by a Permitted Encumbrance or that is otherwise entitled to priority over the Borrower’s obligations under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (y) any reduction arising from an amount owing to an Obligor upon the termination of Hedge Arrangements entered into between the Obligor and such Lender, or (z) any payment to which such Lender is entitled as a result of any form of credit protection obtained by such Lender.

The Obligors consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Obligor rights of setoff and counterclaim and similar rights of Lenders with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Obligor in the amount of such participation.

6. Agent’s Clawback

(a) Funding by Lenders: Presumption by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any advance of funds that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable advance available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on Interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in such advance. If the Lender does not do so forthwith, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the advance in question. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make such payment to the Agent.

(b) Payments by Borrower: Presumptions by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute the amount due to the Lenders. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on Interbank compensation.

7. Agency

7.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Person identified elsewhere in this Agreement as the Agent to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably

- 7 -

incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and no Obligor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

7.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor or any Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent and without any duty to account to the Lenders.

7.3 Exculpatory Provisions

(1) The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents), but the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(2) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as is necessary, or as the Agent believes in good faith is necessary, under the provisions of the Loan Documents) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing the Default is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

(3) Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

7.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Advance or

- 8 -

the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

7.5 Indemnification of Agent. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent and hold it harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), rateably according to its Proportionate Share (and not jointly or jointly and severally) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel, which may be incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or the transactions therein contemplated. However, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

7.6 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent from among the Lenders (including the Person serving as Agent) and their respective Affiliates. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The provisions of this Article and other provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Agent shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

7.7 Replacement of Agent

(1) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a Lender having a Commitment to a revolving credit if one or more is established in this Agreement and having an office in Toronto, Ontario or Vancouver, British Columbia, or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Toronto or Vancouver. The Agent may also be removed at any time by the Majority Lenders upon 30 days’ notice to the Agent and the Borrower as long as the Majority Lenders, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint and obtain the acceptance of a successor within such 30 days, which shall be a Lender having a Commitment to a revolving credit if one or more is established in this Agreement and having an office in Toronto or Vancouver, or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Toronto or Vancouver.

(2) If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications specified in Section 7.7(1), provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in the preceding paragraph.

(3) Upon a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former Agent, and the former Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in the preceding paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the termination of the service of the former Agent, the provisions of this Section 7 and of Section 9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such former Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the former Agent was acting as Agent.

7.8 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on

- 9 -

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

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

7.10 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or holders of similar titles, if any, specified in this Agreement shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or a Lender hereunder.

8. Notices: Effectiveness; Electronic Communication

(a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as-provided in paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier to the addresses or telecopier numbers specified elsewhere in this Agreement or, if to a Lender, to it at its address or telecopier number specified in the Register or, if to an Obligor other than the Borrower, in care of the Borrower.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given on a business day between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time where the recipient is located, shall be deemed to have been given at 9:00 a.m. on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender of Advances to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such

- 10 -

notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

9. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation; negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Advances made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Advances or Letters of Credit.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent (and any subagent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Obligor arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance or non-performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation or non-consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Advance or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Obligor, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Obligor, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by an Obligor and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Obligor against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Obligor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favour on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall it be available in respect of matters specifically addressed in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 9(a).

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such subagent), the Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Proportionate Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or

- 11 -

any such sub-agent) or Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the other provisions of this Agreement concerning several liability of the Lenders.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Obligors shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for indirect, consequential, punitive, aggravated or exemplary damages (as opposed to direct damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby (or any breach thereof), the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. A certificate of the Agent or a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts owing to the Agent, Lender or a sub-agent or Related Party, as the case may be, as specified in this Section, including reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

10. Successors and Assigns

(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignment by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i) except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment being assigned (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advance of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, otherwise consent to a lower amount (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitment assigned; except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate credits on a non-pro rata basis;

- 12 -

(iii) any assignment of a Commitment relating to a credit under which Letters of Credit may be issued must be approved by any 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 that credit;

(iv) any assignment must be approved by the Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless:

(x) in the case of an assignment of a Commitment relating to a revolving credit, the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender with the same type of Commitment,

(y) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the assignment is of a Commitment relating to a non-revolving credit that is fully advanced, or

(z) the proposed assignee is a bank whose senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced, long term debt is rated at least A3, A- or A low by at least two of ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Services Inc., Standard & Poor’s, a division of The ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Companies, Inc. and Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited, respectively;

(v) any assignment must be approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender with the same type of Commitment or a Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(vi) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption; together with a processing and recordation fee in an amount specified elsewhere in this Agreement and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including any collateral security, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3 and 9, and shall continue to be liable for any breach of this Agreement by such Lender, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. Any payment by an assignee to an assigning Lender in connection with an assignment or transfer shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrower or a new Advance to the Borrower.

(c) Register. The Agent shall maintain at one of its offices in Toronto, Ontario or Vancouver, British Columbia a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, an Obligor or any Affiliate of

- 13 -

an Obligor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any payment by a Participant in connection with a sale of a participation shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrower or a new Advance to the Borrower.

Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 and 3.2 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

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

11. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province specified elsewhere in this Agreement and the laws of Canada applicable in that Province.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province specified elsewhere in this Agreement, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgement or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Obligor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A)

- 14 -

CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

13. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution

Except as provided in the conditions precedent Section(s) of this Agreement, this Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by the Agent and when the Agent has received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or by sending a scanned copy by electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments.
