Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

(a)

Unless otherwise defined, each accounting term used in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it under GAAP.

(b)

In calculating the financial tests set forth in Sections 8.1(j) and 8.2(e), such calculations shall be based upon the Borrower’s consolidated financial statements for the relevant period.

1.6

Changes in GAAP or Accounting Policies

(a)

If:

- 27 -

(i)

there occurs a material change in GAAP after December 31, 2014, including as a result of any future conversion by the Borrower from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States to generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (or vice versa); or

(ii)

the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries adopts a material change in an accounting policy in order to more appropriately present events or transactions in its financial statements;

and the above change would require disclosure under GAAP in the consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and would cause an amount required to be determined for the purposes of any financial test in Section 8.1(j) or 8.2(e) or any financial term or threshold used in Section 2.1(c), 8.2(f), the Negative Pledge, Section 9.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement (each a “Financial Covenant/Term”) to be materially different than the amount that would be determined without giving effect to such change, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such change (an “Accounting Change”). Such notice (an “Accounting Change Notice”) shall describe the nature of the Accounting Change, its effect on the current and immediately prior year’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP and state whether the Borrower desires to revise the method of calculating one or more of the Financial Covenants/Terms (including the revision of any of the defined terms used in the determination of such Financial Covenant/Term) in order that amounts determined after giving effect to such Accounting Change and the revised method of calculating such Financial Covenant/Term will approximate the amount that would be determined without giving effect to such Accounting Change and without giving effect to the revised method of calculating such Financial Covenant/Term. The Accounting Change Notice shall be delivered to the Agent within sixty (60) days after the end of the Fiscal Quarter in which the Accounting Change is implemented or, if such Accounting Change is implemented in the fourth Fiscal Quarter or in respect of an entire Fiscal Year, within 120 days after the end of such period.

(b)

If, pursuant to the Accounting Change Notice, the Borrower does not indicate that it desires to revise the method of calculating one or more of the Financial Covenants/Terms, the Majority Lenders may within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Accounting Change Notice notify the Borrower that they wish to revise the method of calculating one or more of the Financial Covenants/Terms in the manner described above.

(c)

If either the Borrower or the Majority Lenders so indicate that they wish to revise the method of calculating one or more of the Financial Covenants/Terms, the Borrower and the Majority Lenders shall in good faith attempt to agree on a revised method of calculating such Financial Covenants/Terms so as to reflect equitably such Accounting Change with the desired result that the result of the evaluation of the Borrower’s financial condition shall be substantially the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until the Borrower and the Majority Lenders have reached agreement in writing on such revised method of

- 28 -

calculation, all amounts to be determined hereunder shall continue to be determined without giving effect to the Accounting Change. For greater certainty, if no notice of a desire to revise the method of calculating the Financial Covenants/Terms in respect of an Accounting Change is given by either the Borrower or the Majority Lenders within the applicable time period described above, then the method of calculating the Financial Covenants/Terms shall not be revised in response to such Accounting Change and all amounts to be determined pursuant to the Financial Covenants/Terms shall be determined after giving effect to such Accounting Change.

(d)

If a Compliance Certificate is delivered in respect of a Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year in which an Accounting Change is implemented without giving effect to any revised method of calculating any of the Financial Covenants/Terms, and subsequently, as provided above, the method of calculating one or more of the Financial Covenants/Terms is revised in response to such Accounting Change, the Borrower shall deliver a revised Compliance Certificate. Any Event of Default which arises as a result of the Accounting Change and which is cured by this Section 1.6 shall be deemed to have never occurred.

1.7

Schedules

Schedules “A” to “J” are attached to and constitute part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.8

Certain Matters Related to Ratings Explained

For the purposes hereof:

(a)

the long term debt of the Borrower shall not be considered to be “not rated” (or to like effect) by either S&P or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ (each, a “Rating Agency”) by reason of such Rating Agency ceasing to carry on the business of providing ratings of the long term debt of corporate borrowers based on creditworthiness assessments. If only one of the Rating Agencies ceases carrying on the business of providing ratings of the long term debt of corporate borrowers based on creditworthiness assessments, then for purposes of calculating “Applicable Pricing Margin” and the definition of “Investment Grade”, the rating of the other Rating Agency only shall be utilized;

(b)

if both of the Rating Agencies cease carrying on the business of providing ratings of the long term debt of corporate borrowers based on creditworthiness assessments, then:

(i)

the Borrower and the Lenders shall attempt in good faith for a period of 30 days thereafter to determine substitute definitions for or amendments to the Applicable Pricing Margin and Investment Grade, which may include attempting to agree on some other entity (which may include a debt rating agency or a nationally recognized securities dealer) (a “Substitute Rating Entity”) to assign a rating to the long term debt of the Borrower as

- 29 -

contemplated in the following paragraph (ii) and to agree, if necessary, on the ratings of such Substitute Rating Entity which most closely correspond to those in the definitions of Applicable Pricing Margin and Investment Grade, as applicable (“Equivalent Ratings”); and

(ii)

if by the end of such 30 day period the Borrower and the Lenders have not agreed upon substitute definitions for or amendments to the Applicable Pricing Margin and Investment Grade, as applicable, pursuant to the preceding paragraph (i), then during a period of 60 days thereafter, the Borrower and the Lenders shall, if such has not already been accomplished, continue to attempt in good faith to agree on a Substitute Rating Entity and, if applicable, Equivalent Ratings and, if a Substitute Rating Entity has been agreed on, the Borrower shall attempt to obtain from the Substitute Rating Entity a rating (“Substitute Rating”) for the long term debt of the Borrower;

it being agreed that:

(iii)

during the 30 day and 60 day periods contemplated in the preceding paragraphs (i) and (ii), or such part thereof which elapses before an alternate approach is finally established as contemplated in such paragraphs (i) and (ii), the rates applicable from time to time in accordance with the Applicable Pricing Margin and based on the rating applicable to the long term debt of the Borrower immediately before the commencement of the 30 day period contemplated in the preceding paragraph (i) shall apply;

(iv)

if a Substitute Rating Entity and, if applicable, Equivalent Ratings have been agreed on and the Substitute Rating Entity has established a Substitute Rating for the long term debt of the Borrower by or before the expiration of the 60 day period contemplated in the preceding paragraph (ii), then thereupon and thereafter the same shall apply and, if applicable, the Applicable Pricing Margin and the definition of Investment Grade shall be deemed to have been amended to incorporate the Equivalent Ratings in place of the ratings referred to in the Applicable Pricing Margin and the definition of Investment Grade; provided the Substitute Rating shall be subject to review by the Substitute Rating Entity from time to time (but not more often than once in any 12 month period) at the request of either the Borrower or the Agent given in writing to the other (any such review to determine whether the Substitute Rating should change to another rating category or, if applicable, Equivalent Rating for the long term debt of the Borrower) and if any such review results in a change in the Substitute Rating, then thereupon and thereafter (subject to further reviews as aforesaid) the same shall apply; and

(v)

if an alternate approach has not been finally established as contemplated in the preceding paragraphs (i) and (ii) by the expiration of the 60 day period referred to in the preceding paragraph (ii), then the rates applicable from time to time in accordance with the Applicable Pricing Margin and based on the

- 30 -

rating applicable to the long term debt of the Borrower immediately before the commencement of the 30 day period contemplated in the preceding paragraph (i) shall continue to apply;

(c)

a rating assigned by a Rating Agency (or, as applicable, Substitute Rating Entity) shall be, as applicable, considered to be “lower” than another rating assigned by such Rating Agency (or, as applicable, Substitute Rating Entity) or by the other Rating Agency if it denotes a poorer creditworthiness assessment (for instance, “B” is lower than “A”);

(d)

the rating categories and ratings of any Rating Agency or Substitute Rating Entity referred to herein shall include any equivalent rating category or rating of such Rating Agency or Substitute Rating Entity which replaces the same; and

(e)

any reference in this Section 1.8 to the long term debt of the Borrower (or to like effect) shall be deemed to be a reference to the senior unsecured non-convertible publicly-held long term debt of the Borrower.

1.9

The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that as of the Amendment Effective Date:

(a)

the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement are amended, modified and restated in their entirety on the terms and conditions, and in the form, of this Agreement and, as so amended, modified and restated, are ratified and confirmed; and

Relying on each of the representations and warranties set out in Article 2 and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees to make Borrowings available to the Borrower in respect of such Lender’s Commitments at the Agent’s Account for Payments up to an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of the amount of its respective Commitments.

3.2

Purpose/Certain Acquisitions

(a)

Subject to Section 3.2(b), the Borrower covenants and agrees it will use the Borrowings only for general corporate purposes (domestic and international), including, without limitation, to support the issuance of commercial paper, acquisitions and working capital, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)

In the event the Borrower wishes to utilize proceeds of one or more Borrowings to, or to provide funds to any Subsidiary to, finance an offer to acquire (which shall include an offer to purchase securities, solicitation of an offer to sell securities, an acceptance of an offer to sell securities, whether or not the offer to sell was solicited, or any combination of the foregoing) outstanding securities of any Person (the “Target”) which constitutes a “take-over bid” pursuant to applicable securities legislation (a “Take-over”), then either:

(i)

prior to or concurrently with delivery to the Agent of any Notice of Drawdown or Notices of Drawdown pursuant to Section 3.3 requesting one or more Borrowings, the proceeds of which are to be used to finance such Take-over, the Borrower shall provide to the Agent evidence satisfactory to the Agent (acting reasonably) that the board of directors or like body of the Target, or the holders of the requisite number of securities of the Target as are required to approve such Take-over to ensure the successful completion of

- 35 -

such Take-over under Applicable Law, has or have approved, accepted, or recommended to security holders acceptance of, the Take-over; or

(ii)

the following steps shall be followed:

(A)

at least five (5) Business Days prior to the delivery to the Agent of any Notice of Drawdown or Notices of Drawdown pursuant to Section 3.3 requesting one or more Borrowings intended to be used to finance such Take-over, the President or a Senior Financial Officer of the Borrower shall advise the Agent, who shall promptly advise an appropriate officer of each Lender of the particulars of such Take-over in sufficient detail to enable each such Lender to determine whether it has a conflict of interest if Borrowings from such Lender are used by the Borrower to finance such Take-over;

(B)

within three (3) Business Days of being so advised, each such Lender shall notify the Agent of such Lender’s determination as to whether such a conflict of interest exists (such determination to be made by such Lender in the exercise of its sole discretion, having regard to such considerations as it deems appropriate); provided that in the event such Lender does not so notify the Agent within such three (3) Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have notified the Agent that it has no such conflict of interest; and

(C)

the Agent shall promptly notify the President or a Senior Financial Officer of the Borrower of each such Lender’s determination;

and in the event that any such Lender has such a conflict of interest (an “Affected Lender”), then upon the Agent so notifying the Borrower, the Affected Lender shall have no obligation to provide Borrowings to finance such Take-over, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary; provided however that each other relevant Lender which has, or is deemed to have, no such conflict of interest (a “Non-Affected Lender”) shall have an obligation, up to the amount of its Commitment, to provide Borrowings to finance such Take-over, and Borrowings to finance such Take-over shall be provided by each Non-Affected Lender in accordance with the ratio, determined prior to the provision of any Borrowings to finance such Take-over, that the Commitment of such Non-Affected Lender bears to the aggregate of the Commitments of all the Non-Affected Lenders.

(c)

If Borrowings are used to finance a Take-over (a “Take-over Loan”) and there are Affected Lenders, subsequent Borrowings shall be funded firstly by Affected Lenders, and subsequent repayments shall be applied firstly to Non-Affected Lenders, in each case, until such time as the proportion that the amount of each Non-Affected Lender’s Outstandings bears to the amount of the total Outstandings of all Lenders is equal to such proportion which would have been in effect but for the application of this Section 3.2.

(b)

Payment: The Borrower agrees to pay the applicable Lender the face amount of each Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by such Lender on its maturity date and hereby waives presentment for payment of such Bankers’ Acceptance by such Lender and agrees not to claim from such Lender any days of grace for the payment at maturity of such Bankers’ Acceptance, notwithstanding that (if such should be the case) any such Banker’s Acceptance has been unlawfully issued or used or put into circulation fraudulently or without authority, and the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any loss, cost, damage, expense or claim regardless of by whomsoever made, that such Lender may suffer or incur by reason of any fraudulent, unauthorized or unlawful issue or use of any such bankers’ acceptance form, except any fraudulent, unauthorized or unlawful issue or use of any such bankers’ acceptance form which is caused by the negligence or wilful act or omission of such Lender or any of its officers, employees, agents or representatives or which occurs as a result of such Lender or any of its officers, employees, agents or representatives failing to use the same standard of care in the custody of such bankers’ acceptance form as it uses in the custody of its own property of a similar nature.

- 38 -

(d)

Power of Attorney Respecting Bankers’ Acceptances: As a condition precedent to each Lender’s obligation to accept Bankers’ Acceptances hereunder, the Borrower agrees to the power of attorney annexed hereto as Schedule “H”, enabling such Lender to execute and deliver Bankers’ Acceptances for and on behalf of the Borrower.

(e)

Applicability of DBNA: It is the intention of the parties that all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by the Lenders (other than a Lender which elects to accept Bankers’ Acceptances in the form of bills of exchange instead of Depository Bills) under this Agreement shall be issued in the form of a Depository ▇▇▇▇, be deposited with and be made payable to a “clearing house” (as defined in the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada)). The Agent and the Lenders shall effect the following practices and procedures and, subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders, establish and notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any additional procedures, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the requirements of the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada), as are reasonably necessary to accomplish such intention:

(i)

each Bankers’ Acceptance accepted and purchased by a Lender hereunder shall have marked prominently and legibly on its face and within its text, at or before the time of issue, the words “This is a depository ▇▇▇▇ subject to the Depository Bills and Notes Act”;

(ii)

any reference to authentication of such Bankers’ Acceptance will be removed; and

(iii)

such Bankers’ Acceptance shall not be marked with any words prohibiting negotiation, transfer or assignment of it or of an interest in it.

(f)

BA Equivalent Loans: Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5, a Non-Acceptance Lender shall, in lieu of accepting and purchasing Bankers’ Acceptances, make a BA Equivalent Loan. The amount of each BA Equivalent Loan shall be equal to the Discount Proceeds which would be realized from a hypothetical sale of those Bankers’ Acceptances which such Lender would otherwise be required to accept and purchase as part of a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of Bankers’ Acceptances. To determine the amount of such Discount Proceeds, the hypothetical sale shall be deemed to take place at the Non-Acceptance Discount Rate for such Borrowing. Any BA Equivalent Loan shall be made on the relevant Drawdown Date, Borrowing Conversion Date or Borrowing Rollover Date, as the case may be, and shall remain outstanding for the term of the relevant Drawdown of, Conversion into or Rollover of, Bankers’ Acceptances. Concurrently with the making of a BA Equivalent Loan, a Non-Acceptance Lender shall be entitled to deduct therefrom an amount equal to the stamping fees which such Lender would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 5.4 as part of such Borrowing if such Borrowing was a Bankers’ Acceptance, based on the amount payable (including interest) on the maturity date of such BA Equivalent Loan. Upon the maturity date

- 39 -

for such Bankers’ Acceptances, the Borrower shall pay to each Non-Acceptance Lender in respect of that Non-Acceptance Lender’s BA Equivalent Loan an amount equal to the face amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances which that Non-Acceptance Lender would have accepted and purchased at the Non-Acceptance Discount Rate for such Borrowing had that Non-Acceptance Lender been a Schedule I Bank, Schedule II Bank or Schedule III Bank. All references in this Agreement to “Borrowings” and “Bankers’ Acceptances” shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include BA Equivalent Loans made by a Non-Acceptance Lender as part of a Drawdown of, Conversion into or Rollover of Bankers’ Acceptances.

(g)

Deemed Conversion of Bankers’ Acceptances: If the Borrower fails to pay the applicable Lender the face amount of each Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by such Lender on its maturity date as required by Section 3.5(b), or, in the case of a Non-Acceptance Lender which has made a BA Equivalent Loan, to pay that Non-Acceptance Lender the amount of its BA Equivalent Loan plus interest on the maturity date of that loan as required by Section 3.5(f), then the Agent shall effect a Conversion of that Borrowing into a Prime Loan of the entire amount of such Borrowing, including all interest due in the case of BA Equivalent Loans, as if the Borrower had given a Notice of Conversion to the Agent to that effect in accordance with Section 3.8.

3.6

Agent’s Duties re Bankers’ Acceptances

(a)

Advice to the Lenders: The Agent, promptly following receipt from the Borrower of a Notice of Drawdown by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, a Notice of Conversion where a Borrowing of another type is to be converted into a Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances (or BA Equivalent Loans in lieu thereof) or a Notice of Rollover in respect of a Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances (or BA Equivalent Loans made in lieu thereof), shall compute the funding details of such Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover (in compliance with Section 3.11(a)) and shall advise each applicable Lender forthwith of the amount of each issue of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted and purchased (or the amount of the BA Equivalent Loans to be made in lieu thereof) by such Lender. Prior to 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the Drawdown Date, Borrowing Conversion Date or Borrowing Rollover Date, as applicable, the Agent shall provide advice by facsimile to the Borrower and each applicable Lender of the face amount of each issue of Bankers’ Acceptances, the Discount Rate, the Discount Proceeds of sale deliverable in respect thereof and the term thereof, which term in respect of each Borrowing shall be identical for all applicable Lenders.

(b)

Completion of Bankers’ Acceptance: Upon receipt of the advice pursuant to Section 3.6(a), each applicable Lender, other than a Non-Acceptance Lender, is thereupon authorized to execute bankers’ acceptances as the duly authorized attorney of the Borrower, in accordance with the particulars so advised by the Agent.

(a)

Availability: Subject to the provisions hereof, the relevant Fronting Bank shall issue Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.7(c); provided that, subject to Section 4.2, at no time shall the Equivalent Amount in US Dollars of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by all Fronting Banks exceed US$500,000,000, and at no time shall the Equivalent Amount in US Dollars of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit issued by the same Fronting Bank exceed its Fronting Bank Commitment. The issuance of each Letter of Credit shall constitute a Drawdown hereunder and shall reduce the availability of the Credit Facility by the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit.

(b)

Currency and Form: Each Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto shall be denominated in Cdn. Dollars or US Dollars and amounts payable thereunder shall be paid in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date not in excess of one year from the date of issue and not later than the earliest then applicable Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall be in a form satisfactory to the Fronting Bank, acting reasonably and in accordance with its usual and customary practices and shall, unless agreed otherwise by the Fronting Bank, the Borrower and the Agent with respect to letters of credit, be issued subject to the Uniform Customs & Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce, Publication No. 600 (the “UCP”) (or any replacement thereof) or the International Standby Practices ISP, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (the “ISP98”) (or any replacement thereof), as selected by the Borrower in the Notice of Drawdown (or subject to the UCP if no election is made),and shall, unless agreed otherwise by the Fronting Bank, the Borrower and the Agent with respect to letters of guarantee, be issued subject to Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees, International Chamber of Commerce, Publication No. 458 (or any replacement thereof). If so requested by the Borrower, any Letter of Credit may have customary automatic extension provisions automatically extending, without amendment, for one (1) year periods from the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, or any future expiration date, unless, not more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days (or such other period of time as may be agreed upon by the Fronting Bank and the Borrower, each acting reasonably) prior to any expiration date, the Fronting Bank shall notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit by registered mail that such Letter of Credit will not be extended for any such additional period; provided that in no event shall any such extended expiration date be later than the earliest then applicable Maturity Date.

(c)

Procedure for Issuance and Rollover of Letters of Credit

(i)

The Borrower may request that the Fronting Bank issue a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 3.7 by delivering a Notice of Drawdown to the Agent pursuant to Section 3.3 and by delivering to the Fronting Bank at the Fronting Bank’s Branch of Account a copy of such Notice of Drawdown together with

- 41 -

a letter of credit application and indemnity in the Fronting Bank’s then customary form (as such form may be modified from time to time, the “Letter of Credit Application”), completed to the satisfaction of the Fronting Bank, acting reasonably, together with the proposed form of such Letter of Credit (which shall comply with the applicable requirements set forth herein) and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Fronting Bank may reasonably request; provided that the terms of the Letter of Credit Application shall be in addition to and shall not derogate from the terms of this Agreement and provided further that in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Letter of Credit Application, this Agreement shall govern with respect to such conflict (it being acknowledged that a conflict shall not be deemed to exist by reason only that the Letter of Credit Application provides for a matter which this Agreement does not).

(ii)

Within two (2) Business Days (or such longer period as may be required by the Fronting Bank, acting reasonably, but in any event not longer than five (5) Business Days) following the date on which the Fronting Bank shall have received the Notice of Drawdown and the Letter of Credit Application including the proposed form of the Letter of Credit and such additional certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Fronting Bank may have reasonably requested in satisfaction of all conditions to the issuance thereof, the Fronting Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit, provided that all other conditions precedent contained in this Agreement shall have been met as required thereby. Alternatively, the Fronting Bank may, with the Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), in accordance with its customary practices, in lieu of issuing the requested performance, standby or documentary letter of credit or letter of guarantee, cause another bank to issue same against the Fronting Bank’s Letter of Credit which shall be a counter guarantee or protective letter of credit.

(iii)

The Borrower may request a Rollover of an existing Letter of Credit by giving a Notice of Rollover to the Fronting Bank at the Fronting Bank’s Branch of Account at least two (2) Business Days prior to the then current expiry date of such Letter of Credit (provided that the Fronting Bank may accommodate such Rollovers on shorter notice in its reasonable discretion and a Notice of Rollover shall not be required in the circumstances contemplated in the proviso in Section 3.9(c)). If all conditions precedent contained in this Agreement shall have been met as required thereby, the Fronting Bank shall promptly issue such extension or replacement of such existing Letter of Credit.

	(C)	If a Lender does not disburse to the Agent for payment to the Fronting Bank its Lender’s Proportion of any amount under this Section 3.7(d)(ii), then for the purpose only of any distributions or payments to the Lenders (and not, for greater certainty, for purposes of any obligations of the Lenders), including any distribution or payment with respect to the Borrower in the event of any enforcement or realization proceedings or any bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation, arrangement, compromise or composition, the applicable Outstandings owing to such Lender shall be deemed to be nil and the applicable Outstandings owing to the Fronting Bank shall be increased by the applicable Outstandings owing to such Lender until the amounts owed by the Borrower are outstanding to each Lender in accordance with their respective Lender’s Proportions determined without regard to this sentence.

	(D)	Notwithstanding that any Lender may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the obligations in this Section 3.7(d) shall continue as obligations of the Persons who were Lenders at the time each such Letter of Credit was issued, unless the Fronting Bank specifically releases such Lender from such obligations in writing.

- 49 -

(b)

Agent’s Discretion on Allocation: In the event it is not practicable to allocate each basis of Borrowing in accordance with Section 3.11(a) by reason of the occurrence of the circumstances described in Article 10, or if such allocation would not result in each Lender accepting drafts to become Bankers’ Acceptances such that each draft so accepted is in a whole multiple of Cdn. $100,000, the Agent is authorized by the Borrower and each Lender to make an allocation, which allocation shall be as set forth in the advice provided by the Agent to the Borrower and each Lender pursuant to Section 3.6(a) (in the case of an allocation to ensure each Bankers’ Acceptance will be in a multiple of Cdn. $100,000), which the Agent determines in its sole discretion is equitable in the circumstances.

(c)

Further Assurances by Borrower: To the extent reasonably possible, the Borrower and each Lender agrees to be bound by and to do all things necessary or appropriate to give effect to the provisions of this Section 3.11.

Request for Extension: The Borrower may, at its option and from time to time (but not more than once in a Fiscal Year), by delivering to the Agent at the Agent’s Branch of Account an executed Request for Extension, request those Lenders which have not become Non-Extending Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.12 (except to the extent Section 3.12(h) applies) (in this Section 3.12, the “Requested Lenders”) to issue a Notice of Extension to extend the then current Maturity Date with respect to the Commitments of such Requested Lenders to a date specified therein, which shall be not later than five years from the date (in this Section 3.12, the “Extension Date”) which is 90 days after the date of such Request for Extension.

(b)

Delivery of Request and Response Thereto: Upon receipt from the Borrower of an executed Request for Extension, the Agent shall forthwith deliver to each Requested Lender a copy of such request, and each Requested Lender shall, within 30 days after the date the Agent receives such request from the Borrower, advise the Agent in writing as to whether such Requested Lender will agree to extend the then current Maturity Date in respect of its Commitment; provided that, if any such Requested Lender shall fail to so advise the Agent within such 30 day period, then such Requested Lender shall be deemed to have denied such Request for Extension. The determination of each Requested Lender as to whether or not to extend the Maturity Date shall be made by each such Requested Lender in its sole discretion.

(c)

Agent’s Response to the Borrower: Within five days after the expiry of the aforementioned 30 day period, the Agent shall:

(i)

if:

(A)

all Requested Lenders are in agreement with delivering a Notice of Extension; or

- 50 -

(B)

less than all Requested Lenders are in agreement with delivering a Notice of Extension, but, subject to Section 3.12(h)(ii), Requested Lenders having Commitments which, in aggregate, represent 66²⁄₃% or more of all outstanding Commitments of all Requested Lenders are in agreement with delivering a Notice of Extension;

(each Requested Lender being in agreement with delivering a Notice of Extension being an “Extending Lender” for the purposes of this Section 3.12), deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to each Extending Lender) a Notice of Extension on behalf of all Extending Lenders, executed by the Agent and, in the circumstance where not all Requested Lenders are Extending Lenders, advise the Borrower of:

(C)

which Requested Lenders are not in agreement with extending the Maturity Date (in this Section 3.12, each a “Non-Extending Lender”); and

(D)

the amount of each Non-Extending Lender’s Commitments and Outstandings as at such date; or

(ii)

if neither of the conditions in Sections 3.12(c)(i)(A) and (B) have been met, notify the Borrower that the Request for Extension has not received the agreement of Requested Lenders which, subject to Section 3.12(h)(ii), have Commitments which, in aggregate, represent at least 66²⁄₃% of all outstanding Commitments of all Requested Lenders (including therein the identity of the Requested Lenders which are not in agreement with extending the Maturity Date and the amount of each such Requested Lender’s Commitments and Outstandings at such date) and has therefore been denied.

The failure of the Agent within the aforementioned five day period to deliver a Notice of Extension, as provided in Section 3.12(c)(i) above, shall be deemed to be notification by the Agent to the Borrower that the Requested Lenders have denied the Request for Extension, and, in such circumstances, the Maturity Date shall not be extended for any of the Requested Lenders.

(d)

Extension of Maturity Date: Upon delivery by the Agent to the Borrower of a Notice of Extension pursuant to Section 3.12(c)(i), the Maturity Date for all Extending Lenders shall be extended to the Maturity Date specified in the relevant Request for Extension.

(e)

Commitments of Non-Extending Lenders: If in any instance a Notice of Extension has been delivered in circumstances in which not all of the Requested Lenders are Extending Lenders, then, on or prior to the relevant Extension Date:

(i)

the Borrower may require any Non-Extending Lender in respect of the relevant Request for Extension to (and such Non-Extending Lender shall

- 51 -

thereupon become obligated to) assign all or part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (for purposes of this Section 3.12, the “Assigned Interests”) to:

(A)

any Extending Lenders which have agreed to increase their Commitments and purchase the Assigned Interests; and

(B)

to the extent the Assigned Interests are not assigned to Extending Lenders in accordance with paragraph (A) above, any financial or other institutions selected by the Borrower and acceptable to the Agent, the Fronting Banks and the Swing Line Lenders, each acting reasonably.

The Borrower shall provide the Agent with written notice of its desire to proceed under this Section 3.12(e)(i) (which notice the Agent shall promptly provide to each Extending Lender), and the Extending Lenders shall be entitled to purchase such of the Assigned Interests as they may request (pro rata, in proportion to the Commitments of those Extending Lenders wishing to purchase Assigned Interests, or otherwise as such Extending Lenders may agree) by written notice to the Agent and the Borrower within 10 days after receipt of such notice, before any Assigned Interests may be assigned to third party financial or other institutions. Such assignments, in any event, shall be effective upon:

(C)

execution of an agreement substantially in the form of Schedule “I”;

(D)

payment to the relevant Non-Extending Lender (in immediately available funds) by the relevant assignee of an amount equal to the relevant Loan Indebtedness owing to such Non-Extending Lender in regard to the Assigned Interests;

(E)

payment by the relevant assignee to the Agent (for the Agent’s own account) of the transfer fee contemplated in Section 15.9;

(F)

provision satisfactory to such Non-Extending Lender (acting reasonably) being made for payment at maturity of the face amount of outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by it in regard to the Assigned Interests and any costs, losses, premiums or expenses incurred by such Non-Extending Lender by reason of the liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds in respect of LIBOR Loans outstanding hereunder in regard to the Assigned Interests; and

(G)

provision satisfactory to such Non-Extending Lender (acting reasonably) being made for the indemnification, cash collateralization or release of such Non-Extending Lender from its obligations relating to any Letters of Credit or Swing Line Borrowings which form part of

- 52 -

the Assigned Interests, including its obligations under Sections 3.7(d) and 3.13(h) in regard to the Assigned Interests.

Upon such assignment and transfer becoming effective, the Non-Extending Lender shall have no further right, interest, benefit or obligation hereunder to the extent of the Assigned Interests assigned by that Lender, and each assignee thereof shall succeed to the position of such Lender to the extent of the portion of the Assigned Interests acquired by such assignee as if the assignee was an original Lender hereunder in regard thereto in the place and stead of such Non-Extending Lender; and

(ii)

to the extent that the Borrower has not caused any Non-Extending Lenders in respect of such Request for Extension to assign their respective rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more Extending Lenders and/or other financial or other institutions as provided in paragraph (i) above, the Borrower may, at its option, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, but only if no Default or Event of Default then exists, by further notice to the Agent, repay to such Non-Extending Lenders all Loan Indebtedness owed to such Non-Extending Lenders, without making corresponding repayment to any other Lenders, and make provision satisfactory to each relevant Non-Extending Lender (acting reasonably) for (A) payment at maturity of the face amount of all outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by such Non-Extending Lender, (B) payment of all costs, losses, premiums or expenses incurred by such Non-Extending Lender by reason of a liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds in respect of all outstanding LIBOR Loans owed to such Non-Extending Lender, and (C) indemnification, cash collateralization or release of such Non-Extending Lender from its obligations relating to all outstanding Letters of Credit or Swing Line Borrowings including its obligations under Sections 3.7(d) and 3.13(h). Upon such payments and provisions being made, each such Non-Extending Lender shall cease to be a Lender and its Commitments shall be cancelled and the Total Syndicated Commitment reduced accordingly.

(f)

Non-Extending Lenders: If the rights and obligations of a Non-Extending Lender under the Loan Documents are not assigned in accordance with Section 3.12(e)(i) or the Loan Indebtedness of a Non-Extending Lender is not repaid in accordance with Section 3.12(e)(ii), then such Non-Extending Lender shall continue to be obliged to make its Lender’s Proportion of Borrowings available to the Borrower on a revolving basis prior to the Maturity Date applicable to its Commitments and on such date:

(i)

the Commitments of such Non-Extending Lender shall be automatically cancelled and all Loan Indebtedness then owing to such Non-Extending Lender hereunder shall be repaid in full; and

(ii)

the Total Syndicated Commitment shall be deemed to be reduced by the amount of such cancelled Syndicated Commitment;

- 53 -

provided that, notwithstanding Section 3.12(e) or any other provision herein, at any time prior to such Maturity Date, the Borrower may require any Non-Extending Lender to assign all or (subject to Section 15.9(a)) a portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Facility in the same manner and subject to the same procedures as are contemplated in Section 3.12(e)(i) above and, upon such assignment becoming effective, each assignee shall be deemed to be an Extending Lender and the Maturity Date applicable to the Assigned Interests shall be extended to the Maturity Date applicable to the Commitments of the Extending Lenders; and provided, further, that where the proposed Assigned Interests are less than the aggregate Commitments of all of the Non-Extending Lenders, the Borrower shall ensure that the Commitments of all (but not less than all) of the Non-Extending Lenders are assigned or cancelled either (A) by requiring some or all of the Non-Extending Lenders to (and such Non-Extending Lender shall thereupon become obligated to) assign to the proposed assignee or assignees the same proportion of their respective Commitments as their respective Commitments bear to the aggregate Commitments of all Non-Extending Lenders or (B) if no Default or Event of Default then exists, by repaying to some or all of the Non-Extending Lenders all Loan Indebtedness owing hereunder to the Non-Extending Lenders in the same manner as is contemplated in Section 3.12(e)(ii) above.

(g)

Further Extensions of the Maturity Date: This Section 3.12 shall apply from time to time to facilitate successive extensions and requests for extensions of the Maturity Date. The Borrower shall not be entitled to request any action or give any notice under this Section 3.12 or receive any extension of the Maturity Date in respect of any Commitment so long as there exists a Default or an Event of Default which has not been waived by the Lenders.

(h)

Extensions from Non-Extending Lenders: The Borrower may, at its option and from time to time (but only pursuant to the delivery of an executed Request for Extension pursuant to Section 3.12(a)), request any Non-Extending Lender to extend the then current Maturity Date with respect to the Commitments of such Non-Extending Lender to the proposed Maturity Date requested in such Request for Extension. In these circumstances:

(i)

the Request for Extension shall expressly refer to such Non-Extending Lender and shall be provided by the Agent to such Non-Extending Lender;

(ii)

such Non-Extending Lender shall be included as one of the Requested Lenders for all purposes of Section 3.12 (except for the purposes of making the percentage calculation contemplated in Sections 3.12(c)(i)(B) or 3.12(c)(ii));

(iii)

upon the agreement of such Non-Extending Lender to extend the Maturity Date and the delivery of the applicable Notice of Extension from the Agent to the Borrower, such Non-Extending Lender shall become an Extending Lender and shall cease to be a Non-Extending Lender; and

- 54 -

(iv)

in the event such Non-Extending Lender does not, or is deemed to not, agree to extend the Maturity Date, Sections 3.12(e) and 3.12(f) shall continue to apply to such Non-Extending Lender as they applied prior to the giving of such Request for Extension.

3.13

Swing Line Borrowings

(a)

Availability: Notwithstanding Sections 3.3 and 3.11 but subject to Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b), the Borrower may make Borrowings by way of Swing Line Borrowings by delivering a duly executed Notice of Drawdown to any Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Agent) not later than:

(i)

in the case of Prime Loans and USBR Loans, 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the proposed Drawdown Date; and

(ii)

in the case of Bankers’ Acceptances, 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the proposed Drawdown Date.

Swing Line Borrowings shall be made by the Swing Line Lender receiving the relevant Notice of Drawdown alone, without assignment to or participation by other Lenders (except as provided in this Section). The making of each Swing Line Borrowing shall constitute a Drawdown hereunder and shall reduce the availability of the Credit Facility by the Outstanding Principal of such Swing Line Borrowing.

(b)

Individual Lender Limits: Subject to Section 4.2, at no time shall (i) the aggregate Outstanding Principal of all Swing Line Borrowings owing to any Swing Line Lender exceed such Lender’s Swing Line Commitment, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Principal of all Swing Line Borrowings owing to any Swing Line Lender plus such Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of all Outstanding Principal of all Syndicated Borrowings exceed such Lender’s Syndicated Commitment, or (iii) the Lender’s Proportion of all Outstanding Principal of all Syndicated Borrowings owing to any Lender plus such Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of all Outstanding Principal of all Swing Line Borrowings exceed such Lender’s Syndicated Commitment.

(c)

Aggregate Limits: Subject to Section 4.2, at no time shall (i) the aggregate Outstanding Principal of all Swing Line Borrowings plus the Outstanding Principal of all Syndicated Borrowings exceed the Total Syndicated Commitment; or (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Principal of all Swing Line Borrowings exceed US$500,000,000.

(d)

Repayment: Each Swing Line Borrowing shall mature and be repaid by the Borrower (or converted into a Syndicated Borrowing in accordance with Section 3.13(h)) on the maturity date selected by the Borrower in the Notice of Drawdown requesting such Swing Line Borrowing; provided that each Swing Line Borrowing shall mature within one to 15 days after the relevant Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding Section 3.10, no notice of repayment or Conversion shall be

- 55 -

required to be given by the Borrower in respect of any such repayment or Conversion of any Swing Line Borrowing nor shall Swing Line Borrowings be rolled over or converted except for Conversions into Syndicated Borrowings.

(e)

Mandatory Repayment: If the Borrower requests a Syndicated Borrowing and any Swing Line Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of such Borrowing would cause its Lender’s Proportion of all Syndicated Borrowings then outstanding together with the Swing Line Borrowings then owing to it to exceed its Commitment, then the Borrower shall be required to repay such Swing Line Borrowings to the extent of such excess on or before the requested date of such Syndicated Borrowing.

(f)

Prepayments: The Borrower may make prepayments of Swing Line Borrowings at any time and from time to time without penalty; provided that: (i) the Borrower shall promptly advise the Agent in writing of each such prepayments, and (ii) any Swing Line Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances may only be prepaid in accordance with Section 3.10(c).

(g)

Sole Account: All interest payments, acceptance fees and principal repayments of or in respect of Swing Line Borrowings shall be solely for the account of the relevant Swing Line Lender. Subject to Section 3.13(h), all costs and expenses relating to the Swing Line Borrowings shall be solely for the account of the relevant Swing Line Lender.

(h)

Conversion to Syndicated Borrowings: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, or the contrary provisions of Applicable Law, (i) if an Event of Default occurs or (ii) if any Swing Line Borrowing is not repaid on its maturity date, then the relevant Swing Line Lender shall give notice thereof to the Agent (which notice shall include the outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Swing Line Borrowing), who shall forthwith provide a copy of such notice to the other Lenders and, effective on the day of notice to that effect to such other Lenders from the relevant Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Conversion of such Swing Line Borrowing into an amount of Syndicated Borrowings, in the same currency as the relevant Swing Line Borrowing, sufficient to repay the relevant Swing Line Borrowing and accrued and unpaid interest in respect thereof, and subject to the same period of notice set out in Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(c), such other Lenders shall disburse to the Agent for payment to the relevant Swing Line Lender their respective Lender’s Proportions of such amounts and such amounts shall thereupon be deemed to have been advanced by such other Lenders to the Borrower and to constitute Syndicated Borrowings by way of Prime Loans (if the relevant Swing Line Borrowing was denominated in Cdn. Dollars) or USBR Loans (if the relevant Swing Line Borrowing was denominated in US Dollars). Such Syndicated Borrowings shall be deemed to be comprised of principal and accrued and unpaid interest in the same proportions as the corresponding Swing Line Borrowings. If a relevant Lender does not disburse to the Agent for payment to the relevant Swing Line Lender its Lender’s Proportion of any amount under this Section then: (i) such Lender shall purchase participations from such Swing Line Lender in such

- 56 -

Syndicated Borrowings (without recourse to such Swing Line Lender) for an amount or otherwise effect transactions to achieve the financial results contemplated by this Section, and (ii) for the purpose only of any distributions or payments to the Lenders (and not, for greater certainty, for purposes of any obligations of the Lenders), including any distribution or payment with respect to the Borrower in the event of any enforcement or realization proceedings or any bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation, arrangement, compromise or composition, the applicable Outstandings owing to such Lender shall be deemed to be nil and the applicable Outstandings owing to the relevant Swing Line Lender shall be increased by the applicable Outstandings owing to such Lender until the amounts owed by the Borrower are outstanding to each Lender in accordance with their respective Lender’s Proportions determined without regard to this sentence. If any amount disbursed by a Lender to the Agent for payment to the relevant Swing Line Lender under this Section and deemed to have been advanced to the Borrower must be repaid by the relevant Swing Line Lender or by the relevant Lender to the Borrower, then no reduction of the relevant Swing Line Borrowings as contemplated above shall be deemed to have occurred, but the Lenders shall purchase participations in the relevant Swing Line Borrowings (without recourse to the relevant Swing Line Lender) for an amount or otherwise effect transactions to achieve the financial results contemplated by this Section.

(i)

Unconditional Obligation: For certainty, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Lenders shall be obligated to disburse to the Agent for payment to the relevant Swing Line Lender their respective Lender’s Proportions of any Syndicated Borrowings contemplated by Section 3.13(h) regardless of:

(i)

whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is then continuing or whether any other condition in Article 7 is met; and

(ii)

whether or not the Borrower has, in fact, actually requested such Conversion (by delivery of a Notice of Conversion or otherwise).

(j)

Continuing Obligations: Notwithstanding that any Lender may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the obligations in this Section 3.13 shall continue as obligations of the Persons who were Lenders at the time each such Swing Line Borrowing was made, unless the relevant Swing Line Lender specifically releases such Lender from such obligations in writing.

(k)

Designation and Termination of Swing Line Lenders:

(i)

Subject to Section 3.13(k)(ii)(B), the term of the Swing Line Commitment of any Swing Line Lender shall be the same as the term of the Commitment of such Swing Line Lender.

(ii)

In connection with its response to any Request for Extension, a Swing Line Lender shall either:

- 57 -

(A)

extend its Swing Line Commitment to the Maturity Date specified in such Request for Extension at the same amount, a lower amount or a higher amount, in each case with the consent of the Agent and the Borrower; or

(B)

terminate its Swing Line Commitment effective on the expiration of its then current Maturity Date.

(iii)

With the consent of the Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, the Borrower shall be entitled from time to time to:

(A)

designate any Lender to be a Swing Line Lender by providing a written notice of such designation to the Agent and such Lender (which notice shall include the consent to such designation by such Lender); and/or

(B)

terminate a Lender as a Swing Line Lender by providing a written notice of such termination to the Agent and such Lender;

provided that at any one time there shall be no more than five (5) Swing Line Lenders which are eligible to make Swing Line Borrowings under this Section 3.13.

(iv)

If the Borrower terminates a Swing Line Lender as a Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 3.13(k)(iii), then such Swing Line Lender shall not be required to make any new Swing Line Borrowings; provided that such Swing Line Lender shall remain a Swing Line Lender with respect to all outstanding Swing Line Borrowings made by it until all such Swing Line Borrowings have been fully repaid and/or converted into Syndicated Borrowings.

3.14

Increase in Credit Facility

The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, add additional financial institutions hereunder as Lenders and/or, with the consent of the applicable Lender (which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion), increase the Commitment of such Lender and, in each case, thereby increase the maximum principal amount of the Credit Facility, provided that, at the time of any such addition or increase:

(a)

no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)

the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent:

(i)

an officer’s certificate of the Borrower confirming the accuracy of (a) above and confirming (A) its corporate authorization to make such increase, (B) the truth and accuracy of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement as of such date, and (C) that no consents, approvals or authorizations from any Person are required for such increase (except as have

- 58 -

been unconditionally obtained and are in full force and effect, unamended), each as at the effective date of such increase in the maximum principal amount of the Credit Facility, and attaching a certified copy of a directors’ resolution of the Borrower authorizing any such increase; and

(ii)

a legal opinion with respect thereto in form and substance as may be required by the Agent, acting reasonably (and such opinion shall, inter alia, opine as to the corporate authorization of the Borrower to effect such increase);

(c)

after giving effect to any such increase, the maximum principal amount of the Credit Facility shall not exceed US$3,500,000,000;

(d)

the Agent, the Fronting Banks and the Swing Line Lenders shall have each consented to such financial institution becoming a Lender or, in the case of an existing Lender, increasing its Commitment, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld; and

(e)

concurrently with the addition of a financial institution as an additional Lender or the increase of a Lender’s Commitment, such financial institution or Lender, as the case may be, shall purchase from each Lender such portion of the Outstandings owed to each Lender as may be required by the Agent, acting reasonably, and as is necessary to ensure that the Outstandings owed to all Lenders and including therein such additional financial institution and the increased Commitment of any Lender, are in accordance with the Lender’s Proportions of all such Lenders (including the new financial institution and the increased Commitment of any Lender) and such financial institution shall execute such documentation as is required by the Agent, acting reasonably, to novate such financial institution as a Lender hereunder; provided that with respect to any portion of such Outstandings which is outstanding by way of Bankers’ Acceptance, the new financial institution or such Lender shall provide an indemnity to the other Lenders (in a form satisfactory to the other Lenders, acting reasonably) in order to ensure such Bankers’ Acceptances are outstanding in accordance with the new Lender’s Proportions.

ARTICLE 4

REPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

4.1

Repayment of Borrowings

(a)

Mandatory Repayment of Borrowings: The Borrower covenants and agrees to repay or otherwise reduce the Borrowings with the effect and requirement that all Borrowings owing to a Lender shall be repaid on or before the Maturity Date applicable to such Lender.

(b)

Application of Payment: Subject to the requirements of Section 4.1(a), in respect of payments to the Lenders, the Outstandings of each Lender shall be reduced so as to, following such payment, be in the same proportion as the amount of the Syndicated Commitment of such Lender at such time bears to the Total Syndicated Commitment.

- 59 -

4.2

Exchange Rate Fluctuations

If, on the last day of any Fiscal Quarter or any LIBOR Interest Period , or on the maturity date of an outstanding Banker’s Acceptance (each a “Currency Test Date”), the amount of Outstanding Principal owed to any Lender is in excess of the Syndicated Commitment of such Lender and the amount of any funds on deposit or letter of credit or other assurance satisfactory to the Agent held for or by such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.2 (the amount of the excess being the “Currency Excess”), the Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days of the Currency Test Date, repay or otherwise reduce a portion of Borrowings owed to such Lender to the extent of the amount of such Currency Excess or provide satisfactory assurance of repayment thereof by depositing funds in an amount equal to the Currency Excess into a Cash Coverage Account with the Agent on behalf of the relevant Lender, to be dedicated to payment of Borrowings owed to the relevant Lender or provide satisfactory assurance of repayment thereof by way of letter of credit or otherwise as may be acceptable to such Lender, all to the satisfaction of the Agent. The Agent is hereby directed to apply any such sums on deposit to reduce the Currency Excess by applying such funds to satisfy obligations or liabilities of the Borrower under the Credit Facility to the relevant Lenders under the Loan Documents in respect of Bankers’ Acceptances (or BA Equivalent Loans made in lieu thereof) on their maturity or LIBOR Loans at the expiration of LIBOR Interest Periods, as applicable, or (subject to compliance with Sections 3.10(b) and 3.10(c), as applicable), at such earlier time as the Borrower elects. Upon the Currency Excess being eliminated by repayments or by virtue of subsequent changes in the exchange rate for determining the Equivalent Amount in US Dollars of Borrowings on a Currency Test Date, such funds on deposit, together with interest thereon, or letter of credit or other assurance shall be returned to the Borrower.

4.3

Cancellation of Syndicated Commitments

The Borrower may at any time, at its option and in its sole discretion, upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent substantially in the form of Schedule “A”, cancel and reduce without penalty all or any portion of (a) the aggregate Syndicated Commitments of those Lenders which are not Non-Extending Lenders (as defined in Section 3.12), (b) the aggregate Syndicated Commitments of those Lenders which are Non-Extending Lenders (as defined in Section 3.12), or (c) any combination thereof, in minimum amounts of US$10,000,000 and in multiples of US$1,000,000 thereof, by:

(a)

in the case of, and to the extent of, the cancellation of all or any portion of the aggregate Syndicated Commitments of those Lenders which are not Non-Extending Lenders (as defined in Section 3.12), cancelling the Syndicated Commitment of each such Lender in the same proportion of the aggregate amount so cancelled as the proportion which such Lender’s Syndicated Commitment is of the total Syndicated Commitments of all such Lenders; and

(b)

in the case of, and to the extent of, the cancellation of all or any portion of the aggregate Syndicated Commitments of those Lenders which are Non-Extending Lenders (as defined in Section 3.12), cancelling the Syndicated Commitment of each such Lender in the same proportion of the aggregate amount so cancelled as the

- 60 -

proportion which such Lender’s Syndicated Commitment is of the total Syndicated Commitments of all such Lenders;

provided that (i) on or prior to the last day of such notice period, the Borrower has repaid or reduced the principal amount of Syndicated Borrowings owing to each relevant Lender in accordance with Section 3.10(a) in an amount equal to the amount by which the Equivalent Amount of such Syndicated Borrowings in US Dollars would otherwise be in excess of such Lender’s Syndicated Commitment immediately after the reduction of the Total Syndicated Commitment provided for in such notice and (ii) the cancellation of all of the Syndicated Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be a cancellation of all other Commitments of such Lender. Any such notice of cancellation is irrevocable and the amount of the Total Syndicated Commitment so cancelled may not be reinstated.

4.4

Evidence of Indebtedness

The Agent shall open and maintain on the books at the Agent’s Branch of Account accounts evidencing the Borrower’s liability to the Agent and each Lender in respect of the Borrowings and other Loan Indebtedness outstanding by the Borrower hereunder. The Agent shall enter therein the amount and currency of such Borrowings, each payment of principal and interest on the Borrowings and other Loan Indebtedness, and shall record the Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by each Lender, the Letters of Credit issued by each Fronting Bank and all other amounts becoming due to the Agent and each Lender hereunder (and for such purposes the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon information provided by the Fronting Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by such Lender and the Swing Line Lender in respect of any Swing Line Borrowings made by such Lender). The Accounts constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of the Loan Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Agent and each Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the date and amount of each Borrowing made available to the Borrower, the date and amount of each payment by the Borrower on account of the Loan Indebtedness owing hereunder.

ARTICLE 5

PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND FEES

5.1

Payment of Interest on Prime Loans

The Borrower shall pay the Agent, on behalf of each Lender, interest on Prime Loans owed to such Lender in Canadian Dollars at the Agent’s Account for Payments at a variable rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus any Applicable Pricing Margin from time to time. Each change in the fluctuating interest rate for the Prime Loans will take place without notice to the Borrower, simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Prime Rate. Such interest is payable monthly in arrears on each Interest Date, in respect of the previous calendar month, and shall be calculated on a daily basis, based on the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days, rounded in accordance with the Agent’s usual practices. If, at any time while Prime Loans are outstanding, the Prime Rate is being determined by reference to the CDOR One Month Rate, the Agent shall promptly advise the Borrower of such fact.

- 61 -

5.2

Payment of Interest on USBR Loans

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on behalf of each Lender, interest on USBR Loans owed to such Lender in US Dollars at the Agent’s Account for Payments at a variable rate per annum equal to the US Base Rate plus any Applicable Pricing Margin from time to time. Each change in the fluctuating interest rate for the USBR Loans will take place without notice to the Borrower, simultaneously with the corresponding change in the US Base Rate. Such interest is payable monthly in arrears on each Interest Date, in respect of the previous calendar month, and shall be calculated on a daily basis, based on the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days, rounded in accordance with Agent’s usual practices. If, at any time while USBR Loans are outstanding, the US Base Rate is being determined by reference to the Fed Funds Rate or the one month LIBOR, the Agent shall promptly advise the Borrower of such fact.

5.3

Payment of Interest on LIBOR Loans

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent on behalf of each Lender interest on each LIBOR Loan owed to such Lender in US Dollars at the Agent’s Account for Payments at the rate, expressed on the basis of a 360 day year, equal to the sum of:

(a)

the LIBOR applicable to such LIBOR Loan for the applicable LIBOR Interest Period; and

(b)

the Applicable Pricing Margin from time to time.

A change in the Applicable Pricing Margin will simultaneously cause a corresponding change in the rate of interest payable for a LIBOR Loan. Each determination by the Agent of the rate of interest applicable to a LIBOR Interest Period shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and each Lender. Such interest shall be payable in arrears on each LIBOR Interest Date of each LIBOR Interest Period applicable to each LIBOR Loan, for the period commencing on and including, as applicable, the first day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period or the preceding LIBOR Interest Date in such LIBOR Interest Period, up to but not including such LIBOR Interest Date, and calculated on a daily basis, based on the actual number of days elapsed divided by 360, rounded in accordance with the Agent’s usual practices.

5.4

Stamping Fees for Bankers’ Acceptances

The Borrower shall pay to each Lender stamping fees in Canadian Dollars forthwith upon the acceptance by such Lender of each Bankers’ Acceptance issued by the Borrower hereunder (including, for certainty, any Bankers’ Acceptances issued and accepted pursuant to Section 3.8 or 3.9) at a rate per 365 day period equal to the Applicable Pricing Margin in effect during the term of such Bankers’ Acceptance, calculated on the face amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance and on the basis of the number of days in the term of such Bankers’ Acceptance divided by 365. Fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be paid in the manner specified in Section 12.8(b)(ii). All fees payable pursuant to this Section 5.4 on any date in respect of any issuance of Bankers’ Acceptances shall be calculated by the Agent and payable by the Borrower.

5.5

Issuance Fees for Letters of Credit

(a)

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an issuance fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank hereunder calculated at a rate per 365 day period equal to the Applicable Pricing Margin in effect during the term of such Letter of Credit and on the face amount of each such Letter of Credit. The issuance fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter following the issuance of the relevant Letter of Credit.

(b)

The Borrower shall pay to the Fronting Bank for its own account a fronting fee forthwith upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank hereunder calculated at a rate per 365 day period equal to the rate agreed to or bid by the Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 3.7(g) and on the face amount of each such Letter of Credit.

(c)

The Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Fronting Bank for its own account its usual and customary fees (at the then prevailing rates) for the amendment, delivery and administration of letters of credit such as the Letters of Credit.

(d)

The Borrower shall receive a refund in respect of any issuance fee and fronting fee paid in respect of any Letter of Credit which is returned to the Fronting Bank for cancellation in accordance with Section 3.10(d) or fully drawn upon prior to the expiry thereof (such refund to be prorated based upon the portion of time that such Letter of Credit was not outstanding based on the original term thereof); provided that such refund shall only be paid if it exceeds US$1,000 or Cdn.$1,000, as applicable.

5.6

Adjustments

All fees payable under Section 5.4 or 5.5 shall be calculated by the Agent and payable by the Borrower initially on the assumption that the Debt Ratings at the time of issuance of the applicable Bankers’ Acceptances or Letters of Credit will be maintained during the term thereof. In the event such fees are calculated and paid on such assumption and such Debt Rating is changed or ceases to be available such as to change the Applicable Pricing Margin (any such change or cessation of a Debt Rating being a “Rating Change”) during the term of any such outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances or Letters of Credit, the Agent shall recalculate the amount of such fees on the basis of the Applicable Pricing Margin applicable to the period before such Rating Change, and the Applicable Pricing Margin applicable to the period on and after such Rating Change, and advise the Borrower and the Lenders of the amount of the underpayment or overpayment (if any). In the case of an underpayment, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, on the maturity date of such outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances (in the case of Bankers’ Acceptances) or on the next date on which any interest or fee payment is made hereunder (in the case of Letters of Credit), the amount of such underpayment, and, in the case of an overpayment, the amount thereof shall be credited against amounts in respect of interest or other amounts accruing hereunder. Changes in the interest rate payable in respect of Loans as a result of a Rating Change shall be effective on the date of such Rating Change.

- 63 -

5.7

Interest on Overdue Amounts

The Borrower expressly agrees to pay to the Agent on behalf of each Lender, at the Agent’s Branch of Account, on demand, interest on all overdue amounts outstanding under this Agreement at a variable rate per annum, which shall be adjusted automatically without notice to the Borrower whenever there is a change in the Prime Rate or US Base Rate, as the case may be, which is equal to:

(a)

the Prime Rate plus any Applicable Pricing Margin plus 1% per annum, in respect of amounts due in Canadian Dollars; and

(b)

the US Base Rate plus any Applicable Pricing Margin plus 1% per annum, in respect of amounts due in US Dollars;

and which additional interest the Borrower acknowledges to be commensurate with the increased credit risk to the Lenders in the circumstances. Such interest on overdue amounts shall be compounded monthly and shall be payable both before and after default, maturity and judgment.

5.8

Standby Fees

The Borrower covenants and agrees to pay to the Agent, on behalf of each Lender at the Agent’s Branch of Account, a standby fee in US Dollars payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, in respect of the previous Fiscal Quarter, in an amount equal to the Applicable Pricing Margin on each day in the calculation period, calculated on the amount by which the Syndicated Commitment of such Lender on such day is in excess of the Outstanding Principal then owing to such Lender on such day. Such standby fees shall be computed from and including the Amendment Effective Date and shall be calculated on a daily basis and based on a year of 365 days.

5.9

Agency Fees

The Borrower covenants and agrees to pay to the Agent certain fees as set forth in a letter agreement between the Agent and the Borrower relating to the Agent’s role as agent hereunder.

5.10

Maximum Rate Permitted by Law

(a)

In no event shall any interest or fee to be paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In the event any such interest or fee exceeds such maximum rate, such rate shall be reduced to the highest rate recoverable under applicable law.

(b)

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada) as the same may be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time) payable hereunder exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) hereunder lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, such

- 64 -

payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the Borrower and the Lenders and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to the Borrower; for purposes hereof the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of this Agreement on the basis of annual compounding of the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Agent will be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

5.11

Interest Act

For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest to which the rates determined in accordance with the provisions hereof on the basis of a period of calculation less than a year are equivalent, are the rates so determined (a) multiplied by the actual number of days in the one year period beginning on the first day of the period of calculation, and (b) divided by the number of days in the period of calculation.

5.12

Nominal Rates; No Deemed Reinvestment

The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for deemed reinvestment or otherwise, before and after maturity, default and judgment. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates. Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.

5.13

Interest on Prepayments and Repayments

At the same time as any repayment or prepayment of principal is made under this Agreement or any Borrowings have been repaid in accordance with a cancellation of the Commitment pursuant to Section 4.3, the Borrower shall also pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal being repaid or prepaid.

ARTICLE 6

PAYMENTS

6.1

Time and Place of Payment

Subject to the next sentence, the Borrower shall make all payments pursuant to this Agreement to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders at the Agent’s Branch of Account in immediately available funds for good value on the day specified for payment. The Borrower shall make all payments owing to a Fronting Bank or a Swing Line Lender for its own account at such Lender’s Branch of Account in immediately available funds for good value on the day specified for payment. Whenever a payment is due to be made on a day which is not a Business Day, the day for payment is the following Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest or any other amounts payable hereunder. Receipt by the Agent from the Borrower of funds for value on any day pursuant to this Agreement, as principal,

- 65 -

interest, fees or otherwise, shall be deemed to be receipt of such funds on such day by the Agent or relevant Lenders, as the case may be.

6.2

Currency of Payment

Borrowings and payments in respect thereof are payable in the currency in which they are denominated.

6.3

Payments Free and Clear

(a)

The Borrower shall make all payments hereunder without set-off or counterclaim (except as permitted by Sections 9.5 and 12.19), free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any Tax. If any Tax is deducted or withheld from any payments, except any Excluded Taxes, the Borrower shall promptly remit to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, as payment of additional interest, the equivalent of the amounts so deducted or withheld together with the relevant official receipts or other evidence satisfactory to the Agent evidencing payment to the appropriate taxing authority of each such Tax by the Borrower with the intent being that the Lenders shall receive the full amount which would have been received by them had no such deduction or withholding been made. No additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrower under this Section 6.3(a) with respect to any Taxes which are payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments hereunder.

(b)

In the event the Borrower has made a payment pursuant to Section 6.3(a), then (i) the relevant Lender shall take reasonable steps to make such applications or other filings (including for greater certainty, the filing of a Canadian income tax return) so as to obtain a reduction or refund of any such withheld or deducted amounts, and (ii) where the relevant Lender is thereafter granted or receives a credit, refund or remission in respect of the Tax for which the relevant deduction or withholding was made, such Lender shall refund to the Borrower such amount (if any) as such Lender determines in good faith will leave such Lender in no worse position than would have been the case if there had never been any obligation to make such deduction or withholding in the first place. For greater certainty, a Lender shall be entitled to fully recover from the Borrower, as payments of additional interest, all reasonable costs and expenses associated with any applications or other filings prepared as a result of this Section 6.3(b). No Lender shall be obligated to provide to the Borrower copies of all or any part of its tax returns, financial statements or other corporate financial data by reason of any such matter.

(c)

If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA or Canadian equivalent legislation, regulations or other guidance if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA or Canadian equivalent legislation, regulations or other guidance (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable, or the Income Tax Act (Canada)), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and/or the Agent (as applicable) at the time or times

- 66 -

prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA or Canadian equivalent legislation, regulations or other guidance and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or Canadian equivalent legislation, regulations or other guidance (or is exempt from withholding thereunder) or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(d)

The provisions of this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination of the Agreement and the repayment of the Borrowings, accrued interest and all other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder.

6.4

Account Debit Authorization

The Borrower authorizes and directs the Agent, in its discretion, to automatically debit, by mechanical, electronic or manual means, the Borrower’s Accounts for all amounts payable under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the repayment of principal and the payment of interest, fees and all charges for the keeping of such bank accounts; provided that the Agent shall not be obligated to effect any such debit and shall not be liable or responsible for its failure to do so. The Agent shall send the Borrower an invoice for any fees payable under this Agreement at least three (3) Business Days prior to any such debit and shall provide a confirmation of any upcoming debit for repayment of Borrowings on the same day that the Agent receives notice of such repayment from the Borrower. In the event the Agent debits the Borrower’s Accounts by an amount in excess of the principal, interest, fees or charges properly due on a day, then forthwith upon the error being discovered, the Agent shall reimburse the Borrower such excess amount with interest thereon from the date of the excess debit until reimbursement at rates prevailing at the time of the excess debit for deposits of like amount and currency with the Agent.

a Material Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof which is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a Material Subsidiary shall be entitled to give, grant or become subject to a Third Party Guarantee in respect of Financing Debt of a Material Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof of which (in either case) it is directly or indirectly a wholly-owned Subsidiary;

in either case, for so long as such wholly-owned Subsidiaries remain, directly or indirectly, wholly-owned by such Material Subsidiary, without being required by this Section 8.2(f) to execute and deliver a guarantee or other instrument to the Agent in accordance with the foregoing; and provided further however, that a Subsidiary which is not a Material Subsidiary need not execute and deliver such a guarantee or other instrument if and for so long as such Subsidiary, together with each other such Subsidiary which has given, granted, or become subject to a Third Party Guarantee and which has not executed and delivered a guarantee or other instrument to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder, has assets which have a value, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower most recently delivered to the Lenders hereunder, of 10% or less of the value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries reflected therein (without giving effect to the non-cash ceiling test impairments and other changes as at December 31, 2011 as a consequence of the adoption of US GAAP).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 whereby the Borrower has covenanted to cause any Subsidiary to do or not to do any act or thing and such Subsidiary is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, the Borrower shall have complied with its covenants in that regard if it shall have used all reasonable efforts to cause such Subsidiary to comply with the requirements of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 or to remedy any breaches thereof; and with respect to any breach of Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 caused by any Subsidiary acting or failing to act in the manner required by such Section, the Borrower’s obligation to use its reasonable efforts to prevent or remedy such breach shall only be applicable from and after the date that the Borrower becomes aware of such breach or the date the Borrower becomes aware such breach may occur, as the case may be; provided that this Section 8.3 shall not apply to (i) the covenants contained in Section 8.2(e)

- 75 -

or 8.2(f), or (ii) any covenant if the breach thereof could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(j)

- 78 -

any time it shall be unlawful or impossible for the Borrower to perform any of its material obligations hereunder.

9.2

Occurrence of an Event of Default

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, at its option, and shall if so required by the Majority Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower (an “Acceleration Notice”), declare all or any part of the Outstandings and all other Loan Indebtedness (whether matured or unmatured) of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement (including the amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans, as determined by the Agent acting reasonably) to be due and payable, whereupon the Total Syndicated Commitment, all Fronting Bank Commitments and all Swing Line Commitments and any right of the Borrower to any further Borrowing shall terminate and all Loan Indebtedness (whether matured or unmatured) of the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement (including the amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans, as determined by the Agent acting reasonably) shall be immediately due and payable without further demand or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(c), the Total Syndicated Commitment, all Fronting Bank Commitments and all Swing Line Commitments and any right of the Borrower to any further Borrowing shall automatically terminate and all Loan Indebtedness (whether matured or unmatured) of the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement (including the amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans, as determined by the Agent acting reasonably) shall be immediately due and payable without further demand or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders immediately the amount due and payable pursuant to this Section 9.2, failing which the Lenders or any of them may pursue their remedies under this Agreement.

9.3

Lenders’ Right to Suspend the Borrowings

Where (x) an occurrence occurs that would otherwise be an Event of Default but is not an Event of Default by reason of the repayment of Borrowings or because there are no outstanding Borrowings (including, for certainty, because of any cash cover provided pursuant to Section 3.10(c) or 3.10(d)), or (y) a Default or Event of Default exists, or (z) the financial statements delivered by the Borrower disclose a likely breach of the financial tests in Section 8.1(j) or 8.2(e) which cannot be verified because the relevant Compliance Certificate has not been delivered and in respect of which the Borrower has not satisfied the Majority Lenders that such breach has been rectified, then, in each such case and notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the obligations of the Lenders to make Borrowings available to the Borrower hereunder which would increase the total Outstandings shall be suspended and shall remain suspended, and all LIBOR Interest Periods and terms of Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans and Letters of Credit which commence during such period through Rollovers and Conversions shall not exceed 1 month, until, as applicable, such occurrence, Default or Event of Default has been remedied or waived and any conditions to the effectiveness (or the continued effectiveness) of such waiver are satisfied or are being complied with, as applicable.

- 79 -

9.4

Remedies Cumulative

The Borrower expressly agrees that the rights and remedies of the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower hereunder are cumulative, and in addition to, and not in substitution for, any rights or remedies provided by law; any single or partial exercise by the Lenders of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any term, covenant, condition or agreement in this Agreement or any Loan Document delivered by the Borrower hereunder does not waive, alter, affect, or prejudice any other right or remedy to which the Lenders may be lawfully entitled for the same default or breach.

9.5

Set-Off

(a)

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law but only to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, without prior notice to the Borrower or to any other person, such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general and special) and any other indebtedness at any time held by or owing by the Agent or such Lender to or for the credit of or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent or such Lender under this Agreement, although such obligations, liabilities or claims of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured. The Agent and the Lenders shall provide the Borrower, the Agent and each other Lender with prompt notice of the exercise of any of their rights under this Section 9.5.

(b)

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law but only to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, while a Lender is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof, or while a Lender Insolvency Event exists with respect to such Lender or its Lender Parent, the Borrower is hereby authorized without prior notice to such Defaulting Lender or to any other person, such notice being expressly waived by such Defaulting Lender, to set-off and to apply any and all deposits (general and special but excluding security deposits) held by such Defaulting Lender (or any Subsidiary of such Defaulting Lender) to or for the credit of or the account of the Borrower (or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) against and on account of the Borrowings and any accrued interest owing by the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, regardless of whether the obligations in respect of such deposits or Borrowings are contingent or unmatured. The Borrower shall provide the Agent and the Defaulting Lender with prompt notice of the exercise of any of its rights under this Section; provided that:

(i)

any Centralized Banking Arrangements shall take priority over the Borrower’s rights under this Section;

- 80 -

(ii)

prior to receipt of such notice by the Agent, the Agent shall not be obligated to reflect such set-off in the allocation of its payments to Lenders under Article 12;

(iii)

after receipt of such notice by the Agent, such Defaulting Lender irrevocably authorizes the Agent to rely on such notice and to allocate payments from the Borrower to the Lenders in a manner which gives effect to such set-off (notwithstanding any provisions in Article 12 to the contrary); and

(iv)

the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees from any claims made against any of them by a Defaulting Lender in connection with this Section 9.5(b), all in accordance with Section 11.2 (and for such purposes a claim from a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to be a third party claim).

9.6

Cash Coverage Account

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and in addition to any other rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower, at the request of the Agent, shall deposit into a Cash Coverage Account with the Agent such amounts as may be required to satisfy obligations or liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders under the Loan Documents in respect of Bankers’ Acceptances which have not matured or Letters of Credit which have not been drawn; provided that any such amounts not so deposited by the Borrower shall, at the option of the Lenders, be paid by the Lenders into such Cash Coverage Account and shall be deemed to constitute, without duplication of any relating Outstandings, a Prime Loan (in respect of amounts denominated in Cdn. Dollars) or a USBR Loan (in respect of amounts denominated in US Dollars).

9.7

Application and Sharing of Payments Following Acceleration

Except as otherwise agreed to by all of the Lenders in their sole discretion, any sum received by the Agent at any time after delivery of an Acceleration Notice or after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(c) which the Agent is obliged to apply in or towards satisfaction of sums due from the Borrower hereunder shall be applied by the Agent rateably among the Lenders and the Agent in accordance with amounts owed to the Lenders and the Agent in respect of each category of amounts set forth below, each such application to be made in the following order with the balance remaining after application in respect of each category to be applied to the next succeeding category:

(e)

Borrowings: fifthly, in or towards repayment to the Lenders of the Borrowings then outstanding hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.11.

ARTICLE 10

CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES

10.1

Market Disruption

(a)

Respecting LIBOR Loans: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event that, at any time subsequent to the giving of a notice in respect of a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover to the Agent by the Borrower with regard to a requested LIBOR Loan, but before the date of the Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover, as the case may be:

(i)

the Agent (acting reasonably) determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest with respect to, or deposits are not available in sufficient amounts in the ordinary course of business at the rate determined hereunder to fund, a requested LIBOR Loan during the LIBOR Interest Period selected;

(ii)

the Agent (acting reasonably) determines that the making or continuing of the requested LIBOR Loan by the Lenders has been made impracticable by the occurrence of an event which materially adversely affects the London interbank market generally; or

(iii)

the Agent is advised by Lenders holding at least 35% of the Total Syndicated Commitment, by written notice (each a “LIBOR Suspension Notice”), and such notice is received by the Agent no later than 12:00 noon (Calgary time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the requested Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover, as the case may be, that such Lenders, acting reasonably, have determined that the LIBOR to be determined in accordance with this Agreement will not or does not represent the effective cost to such Lenders of US Dollar deposits in such market for the relevant LIBOR Interest Period;

- 82 -

then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower as soon as possible after such determination, or receipt of such LIBOR Suspension Notice, as the case may be, and the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice from the Agent and in replacement of the notice in respect of such Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover, as the case may be, previously given by the Borrower requesting a LIBOR Loan, give the Agent a Notice of Drawdown or a Notice of Conversion, as the case may be, which specifies the Drawdown of or Conversion into another type of Borrowing or, if a Notice of Rollover in respect of an outstanding LIBOR Loan was delivered, the Conversion of the relevant LIBOR Loan on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period into another type of Borrowing which would not be affected by the notice from the Agent pursuant to this Section 10.1(a). In the event the Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a Notice of Conversion with respect to maturing LIBOR Loans which were the subject of a Notice of Rollover, such maturing LIBOR Loans shall be converted on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period into USBR Loans as if a Notice of Conversion had been given to the Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof. In the event the Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a replacement Notice of Drawdown with respect to a Drawdown originally requested to be by way of a LIBOR Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Drawdown by way of a USBR Loan in the amount specified in the original Notice of Drawdown. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower if the circumstances giving rise to the LIBOR Suspension Notice no longer exist.

(b)

Respecting Bankers’ Acceptances: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if:

(i)

the Agent (acting reasonably), makes a determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, and notifies the Borrower, that there no longer exists an active market for bankers’ acceptances accepted by the Lenders; or

(ii)

the Agent is advised by Lenders holding at least 35% of the Total Syndicated Commitment by written notice (each, a “BA Suspension Notice”) that such Lenders (acting reasonably) have determined that the Discount Rate will not or does not accurately reflect the discount rate which would be applicable to a sale of Bankers Acceptances accepted by such Lenders in the market for the applicable term;

then:

(iii)

the right of the Borrower to request Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans from any Lender shall be suspended until the Agent (acting reasonably) determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and so notifies the Borrower and the Lenders;

- 83 -

(iv)

any outstanding Notice of Drawdown requesting a Drawdown by way of Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans shall be deemed to be a Notice of Drawdown requesting a Borrowing by way of Prime Loans in the amount specified in the original Notice of Drawdown;

(v)

any outstanding Notice of Conversion requesting a Conversion of a Borrowing into a Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans shall be deemed to be a Notice of Conversion requesting a Conversion of such Borrowing into a Borrowing by way of Prime Loans; and

(vi)

any outstanding Notice of Rollover requesting a Rollover of Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Loans shall be deemed to be a Notice of Conversion requesting a Conversion of such Borrowing into a Borrowing by way of Prime Loans.

The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders under such Credit Facility of any suspension of the Borrower’s right to request the Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans and of any termination of any such suspension or if the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist. A BA Suspension Notice shall be effective upon receipt of the same by the Agent if received prior to 12:00 noon (Calgary time) on a Business Day and, if not, then on the next following Business Day, except in connection with a Notice of Drawdown, Notice of Conversion or Notice of Rollover previously received by the Agent, in which case the applicable BA Suspension Notice shall only be effective with respect to such previously received Notice of Drawdown, Notice of Conversion or Notice of Rollover if received by the Agent prior to 12:00 noon (Calgary time) two Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date or date of Rollover or Conversion (as applicable) applicable to such previously received Notice of Drawdown, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice (as applicable).

10.2

Increased Costs or Reduced Income or Return Due to Change in Law

If any Lender (acting reasonably) makes a determination that the adoption, introduction, implementation or coming into effect of any Applicable Law, or any change therein, or any change in any existing Applicable Law or in the interpretation, administration or application of any Applicable Law by any Governmental/Judicial Body or any other entity charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by a Lender with any request or direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental/Judicial Body or entity, hereafter:

(a)

subjects such Lender to, or causes the withdrawal or termination of any previously granted exemption with respect to, any Tax, or changes the basis of taxation, or increases any existing Tax, on payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement (except for Taxes based on the capital or overall net income or profits of such Lender or, in the case of a Lender which is a Schedule III Bank and without limiting the application of the foregoing part of this exception to such Lender, of any branch thereof);

- 84 -

(b)

imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, liquidity, cash margin, capital, deposit insurance, special deposit or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by or to, or any other acquisition of funds by, or drafts (including Bankers’ Acceptances) accepted by an office of, such Lender;

(c)

imposes on such Lender or expects there to be maintained by such Lender any capital adequacy or additional capital or liquidity requirements in respect of any Borrowings or undrawn Commitments, Fronting Bank Commitments or Swing Line Commitments hereunder or any other condition with respect to this Agreement; or

(d)

imposes on such Lender any other conditions or requirements relevant to this Agreement or the Credit Facility;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to, or reduce the amount of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received or receivable by, such Lender hereunder or such Lender’s effective return hereunder (without regard to Taxes based on capital or the overall net income or profits of such Lender or, in the case of a Lender which is a Schedule III Bank and without limiting the application of the foregoing part of this exception to such Lender, of any branch thereof, or the impact thereof) in respect of making, maintaining or funding a Borrowing hereunder or maintaining, as applicable, its Commitment, Fronting Bank Commitment or Swing Line Commitment hereunder, or cause such Lender to make any payment or forego any interest, fees or other amounts hereunder, then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower as soon as possible after such determination, and such Lender shall have no further obligation to make Borrowings of the type affected or maintain, as applicable, its Commitment, Fronting Bank Commitment or Swing Line Commitment in respect of such type of Borrowings unless prior arrangements satisfactory to such Lender are made to compensate it as hereinafter provided. Such Lender shall, acting reasonably, determine that amount of money which shall compensate such Lender for such increase in cost, reduction in principal, interest, fees or other amount received or receivable by such Lender, or such reduction in effective return hereunder, or any payment made or interest, fees or other amounts forgone (herein referred to as “Additional Compensation”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States, Canadian or other regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III ((i) and (ii) being, the “New Rules”), shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 10.2, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, in each case (i) to the extent that such New Rules are applicable to a Lender claiming Additional Compensation, (ii) to the extent that such New Rules are materially different from Applicable Laws which are in full force and effect on the Amendment Effective Date and (iii) to the extent that such New Rules are not limited to specific financial institutions only but instead have general application to substantially all banks or their Affiliates which are subject to the New Rules in question. Upon a Lender having determined that it is entitled to Additional Compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Agent and shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with a photocopy of the Applicable Law, rule, guideline, regulation, treaty or official directive (or, if it is impracticable to

- 85 -

provide a photocopy, a written summary of the same) and a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of the Additional Compensation and the basis of calculation therefor, which shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of such Additional Compensation, in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within ten (10) Business Days of the giving of such notice by such Lender, such Lender’s Additional Compensation, as additional interest. Each of the Lenders shall be entitled to be paid such Additional Compensation from time to time to the extent that the provisions of this Section 10.2 are then applicable, notwithstanding that any Lender has previously been paid any Additional Compensation. Each Lender agrees that it will not claim Additional Compensation from the Borrower under this Section 10.2 (i) if it is not generally claiming similar compensation from its other customers in similar circumstances; or (ii) in respect of any period greater than three (3) months prior to the delivery of notice in respect thereof by such Lender, unless the adoption, change or other event or circumstance giving rise to the claim for Additional Compensation is retroactive or is retroactive in effect. When Additional Compensation is payable to a Lender, the Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days prior written notice to the Agent (unless provided otherwise below), to either:

(a)

effect a Conversion of such Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of the applicable Borrowing in accordance with the provisions hereof; or

(b)

prepay such Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of the principal of such Borrowing together with:

(i)

accrued interest;

(ii)

such Additional Compensation as may be applicable with respect to such Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of such Borrowing to the date of such payment;

(iii)

in the case of LIBOR Loans, all costs, losses, premiums and expenses incurred by such Lender by reason of the liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of such Borrowing, or any part thereof, on other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period;

(iv)

in the case of Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by such Lender, such amount as such Lender may, in its discretion, require be deposited with such Lender in order to yield to that Lender on the maturity date of such Bankers’ Acceptances the face amount thereof; and

(v)

in the case of Letters of Credit, provision satisfactory to such Lender (acting reasonably) being made for the indemnification, cash collateralization or release of such Lender from its obligations relating to all outstanding Letters of Credit.

Subject to Section 12.11, any such Conversion or prepayment need not be pro rata as among the Lenders under the Credit Facility or this Agreement or otherwise in compliance with Section 3.11.

- 86 -

10.3

Illegality

If a Lender (acting reasonably) makes a determination, which shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, that the adoption, introduction or coming into effect of any Applicable Law, or any change therein, or any change in any existing Applicable Law or in the interpretation, administration or application of any Applicable Law by any Governmental/Judicial Body or any other entity charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by a Lender with any request or direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental/Judicial Body or entity, hereafter makes it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make, fund or maintain a Borrowing hereunder or to comply with, or give effect to, its obligations under this Agreement, such Lender may, by written notice thereof to the Borrower and to the Agent, declare its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such types of Borrowing to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and the Borrower shall, within the time required by such law (or at the end of such longer period as such Lender at its discretion has agreed), either:

(a)

effect a Conversion of such Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of such Borrowing in accordance with the provisions hereof (if such Conversion would resolve the unlawfulness or impossibility); or

(b)

prepay such Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of the principal of such Borrowing together with:

(i)

accrued interest;

(ii)

such Additional Compensation as may be applicable with respect to such Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of such Borrowing to the date of such payment;

(iii)

(iv)

(v)

Subject to Section 12.11, any such Conversion or prepayment need not be pro rata as among the Lenders under the Credit Facility or this Agreement or otherwise in compliance with Section 3.11. If any such change shall only affect a portion of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement which

is, in the opinion of such Lender, the Agent and the Borrower, severable from the remainder of this Agreement so that the remainder of this Agreement may be continued in full force and effect without otherwise affecting any of the obligations of the Agent, the other Lenders or the Borrower hereunder, such Lender shall only declare its obligations under that portion so terminated.

10.4

Designation of Different Lending Office

If any Lender requests Additional Compensation under Section 10.2, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to the Agent on behalf of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.3(a), or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 10.3, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Borrowings hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 10.2 or 6.3(a), as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 10.3, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous in any material respect to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

ARTICLE 11

ARTICLE 12

THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS

12.1

Authorization of Agent

Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to exercise such powers, perform such duties, take such actions, make such decisions and determinations and give such consents under the Loan Documents as are required to be exercised, performed, taken, made, given or otherwise carried out by the Agent hereunder or under any other agreement between the Lenders, together with all powers reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly required by this Agreement or by any other agreement between the Lenders to be carried out by the Agent, the Agent is not required to exercise any discretion or take or to refrain from taking any action except upon the written instructions of the Majority Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or to take or to refrain from taking any action in any manner which is contrary to the Loan Documents, to any other agreement between the Lenders or to Applicable Law.

12.2

Responsibility of Agent

The Agent makes no representation or warranty, and accepts no responsibility, with respect to the due execution, legality, validity, sufficiency, enforceability or priority of any of the Loan Documents nor with respect to the due execution, legality, validity, sufficiency, enforceability, accuracy or authenticity of any documents, papers, materials or other information furnished by the Borrower (or any other Person, including the Agent) in connection with the Loan Documents, whether provided before or after the date of this Agreement. The Agent shall incur no liability to the Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the circumstances, except for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Agent assumes no responsibility for the payment of any of the Borrowings or other Loan Indebtedness owing hereunder by the Borrower.

12.3

Acknowledgement of Lenders

Each Lender acknowledges to the Agent that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigation into the financial condition, creditworthiness, environmental soundness, affairs, status and nature of the Borrower and accordingly, each Lender confirms to the Agent that it has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the Agent:

(a)

Information: to check or inquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Borrower or in connection with the

- 90 -

Loan Documents (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter circulated to such Lender by the Agent);

(b)

Performance: to inquire as to the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents; or

(c)

Credit Review: to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, environmental soundness, affairs, status or nature of the Borrower.

12.4

Rights and Obligations of Each Lender

The rights and obligations of each Lender under this Agreement are several and no Lender shall be obligated to make Borrowings available to the Borrower in excess of the amount of such Lender’s Syndicated Commitment. The failure of a Lender to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall neither:

(a)

No Liability to Other Lenders: result in any other Lender incurring any liability whatsoever; nor

(b)

No Relief from Obligations: relieve the Borrower or any other Lender from their respective obligations under any Loan Document.

Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document nor any action taken pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders a partnership, joint venture or any other similar entity.

12.5

Determinations by Lenders

(a)

Lenders’ Determinations: Where the provisions of this Agreement provide that any waiver of, or any amendment to, any provision of the Loan Documents may be made, or any action, consent or other determination in connection with the Loan Documents may be taken or given, with the consent or agreement of the Majority Lenders, then any such waiver, amendment, action, consent or determination so made, so taken or so given with the consent or agreement of the Majority Lenders shall be binding on all of the Lenders and all of the Lenders shall cooperate in all ways necessary or desirable to implement and effect any such waiver, amendment, action, consent or determination consented or agreed to by the Majority Lenders.

(b)

Deemed Non-Consent: Unless otherwise specifically dealt with in this Agreement, in the event the Agent delivers a written notice to a Lender requesting advice from such Lender as to whether it consents or objects to any matter in connection with the Loan Documents, then, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if such Lender does not deliver to the Agent its written consent or objection to such matter within twenty (20) Business Days of the delivery of such written notice by the Agent to such Lender, such Lender shall be deemed to have refused its consent thereto upon the expiry of such twenty (20) Business Day period.

- 91 -

12.6

Notices between the Lenders, the Agent and the Borrower

All notices by the Lenders to the Agent shall be through the Agent’s Branch of Account and all notices by the Agent to a Lender shall be through such Lender’s Branch of Account. All notices or communications between the Borrower and the Lenders which are required or contemplated pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be given or made through the Agent at the Agent’s Branch of Account.

12.7

Agent’s Duty to Deliver Documents Obtained from Borrower

The Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender, at its Branch of Account, such notices, documents, papers, materials and other information as are furnished by the Borrower to the Agent and which are not (i) notices or information relating solely to the role of the Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Swing Line Lender hereunder, or (ii) required to be furnished by the Borrower directly to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement.

12.8

Arrangements for Borrowings

(a)

Notices by Agent: Promptly after receipt by the Agent of any Notice of Drawdown, Notice of Conversion or a Notice of Rollover, the Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the amount, date and details of each Drawdown, Conversion and Rollover to which such notice relates and of such Lender’s share in each Borrowing, as determined by the Agent in accordance with the provisions of Sections 12.8(b) and 12.8(c).

(b)

Drawdowns: Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on each Drawdown Date in respect of a Drawdown, in immediately available funds for good value, each Lender will make available to the Borrower:

(i)

the same proportion of such Borrowing by way of Loans as the amount of such Lender’s Syndicated Commitment at such time bears to the Total Syndicated Commitment at such time, by forwarding to the Agent at the Agent’s Account for Payments the amount of Loans required to be made available by such Lender; and

(ii)

the same proportion of such Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances (by accepting and purchasing such Bankers’ Acceptances, or, if such Lender is a Non-Acceptance Lender, making BA Equivalent Loans in lieu thereof) as the amount of such Lender’s Syndicated Commitment at such time bears to the Total Syndicated Commitment at such time, by forwarding to the Agent at the Agent’s Account for Payments the amount of the Discount Proceeds in respect of such Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans required to be accepted and purchased or made by such Lender (less the amount of applicable fees payable by the Borrower to such Lender pursuant to Section 3.5(f) or Section 5.4).

- 92 -

(c)

Conversions and Rollovers: Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on each Borrowing Conversion Date and Borrowing Rollover Date in respect of a Conversion or Rollover of a Borrowing, in immediately available funds for good value, each relevant Lender will Convert or Rollover the amount of such Borrowing held by it.

12.9

Arrangements for Repayment of Borrowings

(a)

Prior to Acceleration: Prior to the delivery of an Acceleration Notice or the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(c), upon receipt by the Agent of payments from the Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees or any other payment made to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the Agent shall pay over to each Lender at its Branch of Account the amount to which it is entitled under this Agreement and shall use its best efforts to make such payment to such Lender on the same Business Day on which such payment is received by the Agent. If the Agent does not remit any such payment to a Lender on the same Business Day as such payment is received in immediately available funds for good value by the Agent, the Borrower shall nevertheless be deemed to have made such payment to such Lender on such Business Day and the Agent shall pay interest thereon to such Lender until the date of payment at a rate determined by the Agent (such rate to be conclusive and binding on such Lender) in accordance with the Agent’s usual banking practice in respect of deposits of amounts comparable to the amount of such payment which are received by the Agent at a time similar to the time at which such payment is received by the Agent.

(b)

Subsequent to Acceleration: Following delivery of an Acceleration Notice or the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(c), the Lenders shall share any payments subsequently received in accordance with Section 9.7.

12.10

Repayment by Lenders to Agent

(a)

Where Borrower Fails to Pay: Unless the Agent has been notified in writing by the Borrower at least one (l) Business Day prior to the date on which any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is due that the Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Agent may, in its discretion, assume that the Borrower has remitted such payment when so due and the Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each relevant Lender on such payment date an amount equal to the amount of such payment which is due to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement. If the Borrower does not in fact remit such payment to the Agent, the Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender and each such Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon until the date of repayment thereof at a rate determined by the Agent (such rate to be conclusive and binding on such Lender) in accordance with the Agent’s usual banking practice for similar advances to financial institutions of like standing to such Lender.

- 93 -

(b)

Where a Lender Fails to Pay: Unless the Agent has been notified in writing by a Lender at least one (l) Business Day prior to a Drawdown Date, Borrowing Conversion Date or Borrowing Rollover Date that such Lender does not intend to make available the amount required to be made available by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement on such Drawdown Date, Borrowing Conversion Date or Borrowing Rollover Date, the Agent may, in its discretion, assume that such Lender has remitted funds to the Agent in an amount equal to the amount required to be made available by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such Drawdown Date, Borrowing Conversion Date or Borrowing Rollover Date an amount equal to the amount required to be made available by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement. If a Lender does not in fact remit such funds to the Agent, the Agent shall promptly notify such Lender and such Lender shall forthwith remit such funds to the Agent, failing which the Borrower shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent (without prejudice to the Borrower’s rights against such Lender) the amount made available by the Agent on behalf of such Lender, in each case together with interest thereon until the date of repayment thereof at a rate determined by the Agent (such rate to be conclusive and binding on such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be) in accordance with the Agent’s usual banking practice for similar advances to financial institutions of like standing to such Lender.

12.11

Adjustments Among Lenders

(a)

Adjustments to Outstanding Borrowings: Each Lender agrees that, after delivery of an Acceleration Notice or the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(c), it will at any time and from time to time upon the request of the Agent as required by any Lender purchase portions of the Borrowings made available by the other Lenders which remain outstanding and make any other adjustments which may be necessary or appropriate, in order that the amount of Outstandings owed to each Lender, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 12.11(a), will be in the same proportion as that Lender’s Syndicated Commitment is of the Total Syndicated Commitment at such time.

(b)

Application of Payments: The Lenders agree that, after delivery of an Acceleration Notice or the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(c), the amount of any repayment made by the Borrower under this Agreement, and the amount of any proceeds from the exercise of any rights or remedies of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, which are to be applied against amounts owing hereunder, will be so applied in a manner so that, to the extent possible, the amount of Outstandings owed to each Lender which remain outstanding after giving effect to such application and any adjustments made pursuant to Section 12.11(a) will be in the same proportion as the amount of Outstandings owed to such Lender is of the amount of Outstandings owed to all Lenders as of the date of delivery of such Acceleration Notice or occurrence of such Event of Default, as applicable (subject to adjustment as required to reflect any Conversion of Swing Line Borrowings to Syndicated Borrowings pursuant to Section 3.13(h)).

- 94 -

(c)

Receipt of Payments other than Borrowings: Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12.11, there shall not be taken into account, for the purposes of computing any amount payable to any Lender pursuant to this Section 12.11, any amount which a Lender receives as a result of any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any monies owing by the Borrower to such Lender other than on account of liabilities arising under the Loan Documents; provided that, if at any time after delivery of an Acceleration Notice or the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(c), a Lender receives any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of monies owing or payable to it by the Borrower in respect of liabilities of the Borrower arising under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase portions of the Borrowings made available by the other Lenders which remain outstanding to the extent required so that, to the extent possible, the amount of Outstandings owed to each Lender after giving effect to such purchase and any adjustments made pursuant to Sections 12.11(a) and 12.11(b) will be in the same proportion as the amount of Outstandings owed to such Lender is of the amount of Outstandings owed to all Lenders as of the date of delivery of such Acceleration Notice or occurrence of such Event of Default, as applicable (subject to adjustment as required to reflect any Conversion of Swing Line Borrowings to Syndicated Borrowings pursuant to Section 3.13(h)).

(d)

Further Assurances: The Borrower agrees to be bound by and, at the request of the Agent, to do all things necessary or appropriate to give effect to any and all purchases and other adjustments made by and between the Lenders pursuant to this Section 12.11, but shall incur no increased liabilities, costs or expenses, in aggregate, by reason thereof.

12.12

(f)

Defaulting Lender’s Consent: Any waiver or amendment described in the proviso in Section 12.20(a)(ii) shall require the agreement of the Defaulting Lender referred to in such proviso.

- 96 -

12.13

Reimbursement of Agent’s Expenses

Each Lender agrees that it will indemnify the Agent for its Lender’s Proportion of any and all costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, those costs and expenses referred to in Section 11.1) which may be incurred or made by the Agent in good faith in connection with the Loan Documents, and agrees that it will, on written demand detailing such costs, expenses and disbursements, reimburse the Agent for any such costs, expenses or disbursements for which the Agent is not promptly reimbursed at any time by the Borrower. The Agent may refrain from exercising any right, power or discretion or taking any action to protect or enforce the rights of any Lender under the Loan Documents until it has been so reimbursed.

12.14

Reliance by Agent on Notices, etc.

The Agent shall be entitled:

(a)

Reliance on Written Documents: to rely upon any writing, letter, written notice, certificate, telex, facsimile copy, cable, statement, order or other document believed by the Agent to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons; and

(b)

Reliance on Legal Advice: with respect to legal matters, to act upon advice of legal advisors selected by the Agent (including in-house counsel of the Agent) concerning all matters pertaining to the Loan Documents and the Agent’s duties thereunder;

and the Agent shall assume no responsibility and shall incur no liability to the Borrower or any Lender by reason of relying on any such document or acting on any such advice.

12.15

Relations with Borrower

Except for the transactions provided for in this Agreement, each Lender may deal with the Borrower in all transactions and generally do any banking business with, or provide any financial services to, the Borrower without having any liability to account to the other Lenders therefor. With respect to Royal’s (or any successor Agent’s) Commitment and Lender’s Proportion, Royal (or any successor Agent) shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent.

12.16

Successor Agent

The Agent shall resign if at any time:

(a)

(i) (A) the Commitment of the Agent in its capacity as a Lender is less than $250,000,000, at least one other Lender has a Commitment which is greater than the Commitment of the Agent in its capacity as a Lender, and such other Lender is willing to act as Agent or (B) the Agent is a Defaulting Lender and another Lender selected by the Borrower is willing to act as Agent; and

(ii) the Borrower demands by written notice to the Agent that the Agent resign;

- 97 -

in which circumstances such other Lender shall be appointed as Agent hereunder; or

(b)

it is no longer a Lender hereunder by reason of an assignment of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents pursuant to Section 15.9 and, in such event, it shall provide 30 days’ prior written notice of any such intended assignment to each of the Lenders and the Borrower.

The Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to each of the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Agent may be removed at any time for cause by the Lenders, other than the Agent in its capacity as a Lender (the “Remaining Lenders”), provided that Remaining Lenders holding Commitments of eighty percent (80%) or more of the aggregate Commitments of all the Remaining Lenders consent to such removal. Upon any such resignation or removal, other than in the circumstances described in paragraph (a) above, the Remaining Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor agent with the written approval of the Borrower (such approval not in any event to be unreasonably withheld). Any successor agent appointed under this Section 12.16 shall be a financial institution which has offices in Calgary, Alberta and Toronto, Ontario. If no successor agent shall have been appointed by the Remaining Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, or the Remaining Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the written approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint a successor agent. Should the Remaining Lenders and the retiring Agent fail to appoint a successor agent as aforesaid within 30 days of the aforesaid resignation or removal, the Borrower may appoint a financial institution as successor agent provided the long term debt of such financial institution (if not a Lender) or its parent entity (if not a Lender) is assigned a rating of A2 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor agent, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent as Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement as Agent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for its benefit and for the benefit of the Lenders in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the retiring Agent while it was acting as the Agent.

12.17

Change of Schedule I Reference Bank

The Agent shall, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) appoint another Lender (with the latter’s consent) to act as the Schedule I Reference Bank in replacement of the Schedule I Reference Bank if:

(a)

Assignment of Rights: the Schedule I Reference Bank assigns, subject to the provisions of Section 15.9, all its rights hereunder or otherwise ceases to be a Lender; or

(b)

Giving of Notice of Intention: the Schedule I Reference Bank gives notice of its intention to cease being the Schedule I Reference Bank.

- 98 -

12.18

Indemnity of Agent

Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), rateably as to its Lender’s Proportion, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent, in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in respect of the Loan Documents; provided that the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its Lender’s Proportion of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preservation of any rights of the Agent or the Lenders under, or the enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Loan Documents, but only to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

12.19

Cash Collateral and Withholding from a Defaulting Lender

(a)

Each Defaulting Lender shall be required to provide to the Agent cash in such amount, as determined from time to time by the Agent in its reasonable discretion, equal to all obligations of such Defaulting Lender which are either then owing under this Agreement or, in the case of contingent obligations under any outstanding Letters of Credit or Swing Line Borrowings (after giving effect to the re-allocation provisions in Section 12.20), may become owing to any Fronting Bank or Swing Line Lender.

(b)

The Agent shall be entitled to withhold from any Defaulting Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of all payments received from the Borrower hereunder such amount as such Defaulting Lender is required to provide as cash collateral under Section 12.19(a) and the Agent is entitled to set-off such amounts against such Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations to fund amounts previously required to be paid by such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement and to purchase participations previously required to be purchased by such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement.

(c)

All funds received by the Agent pursuant to Sections 12.19(a) and 12.19(b) shall be deposited by the Agent in one or more cash collateral accounts in the name of the Agent, which amounts shall be used by the Agent:

(i)

first, to reimburse the Agent for any amounts owing to it, in its capacity as Agent, by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to any Loan Document;

(ii)

second, to repay on a pro rata basis the incremental portion of any Loans made by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.20 in order to fund a funding shortfall created by a Defaulting Lender and, upon receipt of such

- 99 -

repayment, each such Non-Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Defaulting Lender such incremental portion of such Loans; and

(iii)

third, to cash collateralize all other contingent obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Swing Line Lender which are outstanding pursuant to this Agreement in such amount as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent in its reasonable discretion;

provided that any such funds in excess of such Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations shall be paid to the Defaulting Lender.

(d)

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

12.20

Funding if there is a Defaulting Lender

(a)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i)

the standby fees payable pursuant to Section 5.8 shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment(s) of such Defaulting Lender if and for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof or a Lender Insolvency Event exists with respect to such Lender or its Lender Parent;

(ii)

a Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether, and the Commitments and Lender’s Proportions of such Defaulting Lender shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders or the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 12.12); provided that any waiver or amendment that (A) applies to such Defaulting Lender in a manner that differs in any material respect from its application to other affected Lenders, (B) increases any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, (C) extends any Maturity Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender, (D) decreases the Applicable Pricing Margin applicable to such Defaulting Lender or (E) postpones, reduces or waives any principal payment due to such Defaulting

- 100 -

Lender hereunder shall in each case require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and

(iii)

for certainty, the Borrower shall retain and reserve its other rights and remedies respecting each Defaulting Lender;

provided that the Agent shall only be required to give effect to (i) and (ii) above if the Agent has actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender. If the Agent acquires actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other Lenders that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such disclosure); provided that, for certainty, the Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to whether any Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)

If the Agent has actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at the time that the Agent receives a Notice of Drawdown, a Notice of Rollover that relates to a Letter of Credit or a Notice of Conversion (or deemed notice) that either relates to a Swing Line Borrowing or will result in a currency conversion, then each Non- Defaulting Lender shall fund its Lender’s Proportion of such affected Loan (and, in calculating such Lender’s Proportion, the applicable Commitment of each such Defaulting Lender shall be ignored); provided that such re-allocation may only be effected if and to the extent that (i) such re-allocation would not cause any Non- Defaulting Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of all Borrowings to exceed its applicable Commitment(s) and (ii) the conditions precedent in Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) are satisfied at such time. Each Defaulting Lender agrees to indemnify each Non- Defaulting Lender for any amounts paid by such Non-Defaulting Lender under this Section 12.20 and which would otherwise have been paid by the Defaulting Lender if its applicable Commitment had been included in determining the Lender’s Proportion of such affected Loans.

(c)

If any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)

all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of such Letter of Credit shall be re-allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Lender’s Proportions; provided that such re-allocation may only be effected if and to the extent that (A) such re-allocation would not cause any Non-Defaulting Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of all Borrowings to exceed its applicable Commitment(s) and (B) the conditions precedent in Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) are satisfied at such time;

(ii)

if the re-allocation described in clause (i) above cannot be effected, or can only partially be effected, then such Defaulting Lender shall, within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Agent, provide cash collateral for such Defaulting Lender’s Lender’s Proportion of such Letter of Credit (after giving effect to any partial re-allocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance

- 101 -

with the procedures set forth in Section 12.19 for so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding; and

(iii)

if the Lender’s Proportions of the Non-Defaulting Lenders are re-allocated pursuant to this Section 12.20(c), then the issuance fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.5 shall be adjusted to give effect to such re-allocations in accordance with each such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Lender’s Proportions.

(d)

So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Fronting Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, and no Swing Line Lender shall be required to make any Swing Line Borrowing, unless such Fronting Bank or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized in accordance with Section 12.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or Swing Line Borrowing shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 12.20(b) or 12.20(c)(i) as applicable (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(e)

If any Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, then, upon becoming aware of such change, the Agent shall notify the Non-Defaulting Lenders and (in accordance with the written direction of the Agent) such Lender (which has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender) shall purchase, and the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall on a rateable basis sell and assign to such Lender, portions of such Loans equal in total to such Lender’s Lender’s Proportion thereof without regard to this Section 12.20.

(f)

Each Defaulting Lender hereby indemnifies the Borrower for any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities (including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis) incurred by the Borrower as a result of such Defaulting Lender failing to comply with the terms of this Agreement including any failure to fund its portion of any Loans required to be made by it hereunder.

12.21

Amendment to this Article 12

Save and except for the provisions of Sections 12.5, 12.6, 12.11(d), 12.12(a), 12.12(b), 12.15, 12.16, 12.17, 12.19, 12.20 and this Section 12.21, the provisions of this Article 12 may be amended or added to from time to time without the agreement of the Borrower, provided such amendment or addition does not adversely affect any rights of the Borrower hereunder or increase, in aggregate, the liabilities, costs, expenses or reporting requirements of the Borrower hereunder.

GOVERNING LAW AND JUDGMENT CURRENCY

14.1

Governing Law

Without prejudice to or limitation of any other rights or remedies available under the laws of any jurisdiction where property or assets of the Borrower may be, the parties agree that this

- 103 -

Agreement is conclusively deemed to be made under and for all purposes to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

14.2

Jurisdiction

(a)

Submission: The courts of the Province of Alberta shall have jurisdiction to determine any disputes in connection with the Loan Documents and each of the Lenders, the Agent and the Borrower accordingly irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Alberta.

(b)

Forum Convenience and Enforcement Abroad: The Borrower, each Lender and the Agent each hereby:

(i)

waives objection to the courts of the Province of Alberta on grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise as regards proceedings in connection with the Loan Documents; and

agrees that a judgment or order of a court of the Province of Alberta in connection with a Loan Document is conclusive and binding on it (subject to any rights or appeal in respect thereof) and may be enforced against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(c)

Non-Exclusivity: Nothing in this Section 14.2 limits the right of a Lender or the Agent or the Borrower to bring proceedings in connection with any Loan Document:

(i)

14.3

Judgment Currency

If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court or for any other related purpose hereunder, it is necessary for a Lender to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange to be applied in respect of such conversion shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Lender could purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date which is one (1) Business Day preceding that on which judgment is given. The Borrower agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it to such Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in the Second Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt of any sum so paid or adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid or so adjudged to be due; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, the Borrower agrees that the deficiency shall be a separate obligation of the Borrower independent from its other obligations under this Agreement, and which shall give such

- 104 -

Lender a cause of action which shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment, or order to the contrary, and the Borrower agrees, notwithstanding any such payment or judgment, to indemnify such Lender against any such loss or deficiency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is greater than the amount originally due to the Agent or any Lender, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable Law).

any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender; or

(c)

any Lender shall withhold its approval to a proposed consent under, waiver of or amendment to the Loan Documents which requires unanimous approval of the

- 107 -

Lenders under the Loan Documents (any such Lender being a “Non-Consenting Lender”);

(any such Lender being a “Subject Lender”), the Borrower may, in its sole discretion (i) request the Agent to use reasonable efforts to obtain a replacement financial institution satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent to acquire and assume all or part of the Subject Lender’s Borrowings and Commitment (a “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request the Subject Lender to use reasonable efforts to obtain a Replacement Lender satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent to acquire and assume all or part of the Subject Lender’s Loan Indebtedness and Commitments; (iii) request one or more of the other Lenders to acquire and assume all or part of the Subject Lender’s Loan Indebtedness and Commitments (there being no obligation on the other Lenders to do so); (iv) designate a Replacement Lender acceptable to the Agent, acting reasonably, to acquire and assume all or part of the Subject Lender’s Loan Indebtedness and Commitments; (v) elect to terminate all of the non-assigned Commitments of the Subject Lender on 15 days’ notice to the Agent and such Lender, without terminating any or all of the Commitments of any other Lenders; and (vi) any combination of the foregoing.

Any such acquisition and assumption by a Replacement Lender shall be made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the last 3 sentences of Section 15.9(a), mutatis mutandis. Any such replacement or repayment of a Non-Consenting Lender shall only be permitted if, after doing so, the proposed consent, waiver or amendment will be approved in accordance with the Loan Documents.

15.9

Successors and Assigns

(a)

Assignments: Subject to Section 8.2(c), the Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Lender may, at the Borrower’s cost and expense, with the prior consent of the Agent, the Fronting Banks and the Swing Line Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) but without the Borrower’s consent, assign in whole or in part its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Person (other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries). If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Lender may, at its sole cost and expense, with the prior consent of the Agent, the Fronting Banks, the Swing Line Lenders and the Borrower (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld), assign in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Person (other than the

- 108 -

Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries); it being agreed by each Lender that if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall not make any such assignment which does not comply with this sentence. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no assignment of a part of the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder shall (i) be less than an aggregate of US$10,000,000 of the assigning Lender’s Commitments unless the assigning Lender’s Commitments are then less than US$10,000,000 in which case the assignment shall be of the whole of the assigning Lender’s Commitments, (ii) be made in increments of less than US$1,000,000, unless the Commitments being assigned consist of the whole of the assigning Lender’s Commitments, or (iii) result in any Lender’s Commitments, after giving effect to a partial assignment of that Lender’s Commitments amounting to less than US$10,000,000. Assignments shall be substantially in the form of Schedule “I”. Upon any assignment by a Lender to a Person (a “Permitted Assignee”) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15.9, such Lender shall pay a fee of US$3,500 as a processing fee to the Agent and shall cause such Permitted Assignee to be substituted for such Lender in respect of the rights and obligations under the Loan Documents which are so assigned; the Agent shall, and is hereby authorized by the Borrower and each Lender to, issue a revised Schedule “J” giving effect to such assignment; and the assigning Lender shall, as of the effective date thereof, be released from its obligations to the Borrower hereunder relating to the assigned interests arising subsequent to such date to the extent thereof. Any such assignment shall not increase, in aggregate, the liabilities (by way of withholding tax, any obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 6.3 or Additional Compensation pursuant to Article 10, or otherwise), costs and out-of-pocket expenses of the Borrower hereunder, other than the requirement to pay any costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders in completing any assignment by the Borrower, or by a Lender if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided that an assignment shall be deemed not to increase the liabilities, costs and expenses of the Borrower hereunder solely due to the fact that the assignee is a Schedule II Bank or a Schedule III Bank thereby potentially resulting in a higher Discount Rate than would be the case with a Schedule I Bank, or that such assignment increases the number of Lenders.

(b)

Participations: The Borrower agrees that a Lender may, with the prior consent of the Agent and the Borrower (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld), sell or agree to sell a participation (a “Participation”) to a Person (a “Participant”) in all or any part of any Borrowings made or to be made by it; provided that upon the sale of any such Participation, the Participant purchasing such Participation shall not have any rights under any of the Loan Documents and the Borrower shall not have any obligations to such Participant, and all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined pursuant to this Agreement solely as between such Lender and the Borrower as if such Lender had not sold or agreed to sell such Participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required in connection with any Participation which is sold (i) to an Affiliate of the selling Lender or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

- 109 -

(c)

Rights and Obligations of a Lender on a Participation: Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the sale by a Lender of a Participation to a Participant shall not affect the Lender’s Proportion of such Lender nor otherwise alter the obligations of such Lender to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, and such Lender shall continue to perform fully all of its obligations to the Borrower under this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, regardless of any failure to perform by any Participant or any other term, condition or event relating to any Participation. Any Participant’s rights against such Lender and obligations in favour of such Lender in respect of such Participation shall be those set forth in any agreement executed by such Lender and such Participant relating thereto.

(d)

Exception for Lender Pledges: Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Agent, the Fronting Banks or the Swing Line Lenders, 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, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender and this Section 15.9 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

15.10

AML Legislation and “Know Your Client” Requirements

(a)

Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada), the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (USA) or any other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” Applicable Laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary, which information includes the name and address of each such Person and such other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each such Person in accordance with AML Legislation (including, information regarding such Person’s directors, authorized signing officers, or other Persons in control of each such Person). The Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with AML Legislation. 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 (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender), or any prospective assignee of a Lender or the Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

- 110 -

(b)

If, upon the written request of any Lender, the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) has ascertained the identity of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary or any authorized signatories of such Person for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation on such Lender’s behalf, then the Agent:

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(c)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 15.10, each of the Lenders agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary or any authorized signatories of such Person, on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any such Person or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

15.11

Platform

The Borrower agrees that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(b)

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications caused by posting such Communications on the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any of its Subsidiaries’ or the Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof provides to the Agent specifically for posting on the Platform pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to any Lender by means of the Platform.

- 111 -

15.12

Waiver of Jury Trial

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents or the actions of the Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

15.13

Any demand, notice or communication to be made or given hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including email and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices by electronic communication.
