POA Letters of Credit.

Issuance on behalf of Lenders. Each POA Letter of Credit shall be issued by the Agent on behalf of all Lenders as a single multi-Lender Letter of Credit, but the obligation of each Lender thereunder shall be several, and not joint, based upon its Proportionate Share in effect on the date of issuance of such POA Letter of Credit, subject to any changes resulting from a change in its Proportionate Share after the date of issuance of the POA Letter of Credit that are effected in accordance with the terms of the POA Letter of Credit. Each POA Letter of Credit shall include the provisions contained in, and shall be substantially in the form of, Schedule 6, and shall otherwise be in a form satisfactory to the Agent. Without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, no POA Letter of Credit shall be issued which varies the several and not joint nature of the liability of each Lender thereunder.

Agent as Agent and Attorney. Each POA Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, each Lender party to such Letter of Credit. The Agent shall act under each POA Letter of Credit as the agent of each Lender to:

receive documents presented by the Beneficiary under such POA Letter of Credit;

determine whether such documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such POA Letter of Credit; and

notify such Lender and WFT or Norbord, as the case may be, that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related payment under such POA Letter of Credit is to be made; provided that the Agent (in such capacity) shall have no obligation or liability for any payment to be made under any POA Letter of Credit and each POA Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide.

Power of Attorney. Each Lender hereby appoints and designates the Agent as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer of the Agent, to execute and deliver each POA Letter of Credit to be issued by such Lender hereunder in the name and on behalf of such Lender. Each Lender shall furnish to the Agent a power of attorney in the form attached as Schedule 7, which may be presented as evidence of the Agent’s power to act but which shall not, as between the Lender and the Agent, vary the power of the Agent as established in this Agreement. In addition, promptly upon the request of the Agent, each Lender will furnish to the Agent such other evidence as any Beneficiary of any POA Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Lender to execute and deliver such POA Letter of Credit. WFT, Norbord and the Lenders agree that each POA Letter of Credit shall provide that all documents presented thereunder shall be delivered to the Agent and that all payments thereunder shall be made by the Lenders obligated thereon through the Agent. Each Lender shall be severally liable under each POA Letter of Credit in proportion to its Proportionate Share on the date of issuance of such POA Letter of Credit and each POA Letter of Credit shall specify each Lender’s share of the amount payable thereunder.

Documents and Payment Demands. WFT, Norbord and each Lender hereby authorize the Agent to review on behalf of each Lender each document presented under each POA Letter of Credit. The determination of the Agent as to the conformity of any documents presented under a POA Letter of Credit to the requirements of such POA Letter of Credit shall be conclusive and binding on WFT or Norbord, as the case may be, and each Lender, provided the Agent acts in accordance with the standards of reasonable care specified in the Uniform Customs. The Agent shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any POA Letter of Credit. The Agent shall promptly after such examination:

notify each of the Lenders obligated under such POA Letter of Credit and WFT or Norbord, as applicable, by telephone (confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment and of each Lender’s share of such payment;

deliver to each Lender and WFT or Norbord, as applicable, a copy of each document purporting to represent a demand for payment under such POA Letter of Credit; and

notify each Lender and WFT or Norbord, as applicable, whether the demand for payment was properly made under such POA Letter of Credit.

Drawings. With respect to any drawing determined by the Agent to have been properly made under a POA Letter of Credit, each Lender will make a payment under the POA Letter of Credit in accordance with its liability under the POA Letter of Credit and this Agreement. The payment shall be made to the relevant Payment Account or such other account as the Agent designates by notice to the Lenders. The Agent will promptly make any such payment available to the Beneficiary of such POA Letter of Credit. Promptly following any payment by any Lender in respect of any POA Letter of Credit, the Agent will notify WFT or Norbord, as applicable, of such payment, but any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve WFT or Norbord, as the case may be, of its obligation to reimburse the Lenders with respect to any such payment. The responsibility of the Agent and the Lenders in connection with any document presented for payment under any POA Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided in such POA Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such POA Letter of Credit. The Agent shall not be required to make any payment under a POA Letter of Credit in excess of the amount received by it from the Lenders for such payment.

Reimbursement by WFT or Norbord. WFT or Norbord, as applicable, shall pay to the Agent (for the account of the Lenders) the amount paid to a Beneficiary upon a drawing under a POA Letter of Credit (the “drawn amount”) on the date of such drawing. The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled to receive interest on the drawn amount at the rate applicable to Prime Rate Advances (if the drawn amount was in Canadian Dollars) or the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances (if the drawn amount was in US Dollars) for the period from and including the date the drawn amount was paid to a Beneficiary pursuant to the drawing to but excluding the date on which such payment (including interest) is made to Agent.

Notice regarding Potential Automatic Renewal. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if a Default or an Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall notify the Lenders 30 days before any applicable deadline for notifying the Beneficiary of a POA Letter of Credit that it will not be renewed, in order to avoid automatic renewal in accordance with the terms of the POA Letter of Credit.

Fronted Letters of Credit.

Issuance on behalf of Lenders. Each Fronted Letter of Credit shall be issued by the Fronting Lender on behalf of all Lenders. The Principal Outstanding in respect of a Fronted Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the Lenders based on their respective Proportionate Share. Each Lender is liable to, and by entering into this Agreement agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless the Fronting Lender in relation to the Fronting Lender’s liability as issuer of a Fronted Letter of Credit to the extent of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of such liability. The Principal Outstanding under the Revolver Facility shall be adjusted in the circumstances and in the manner contemplated by Section 12.7 in order to reflect the issuance of Fronted Letters of Credit by the Fronting Lender on behalf of the Lenders.

Documents and Payment Demands. WFT, Norbord and each Lender hereby authorize the Fronting Lender to review on behalf of each Lender each document presented under a Fronted Letter of Credit. The determination of the Fronting Lender as to the conformity of any document presented under a Fronted Letter of Credit to the requirements of such Fronted Letter of Credit shall be conclusive and binding on WFT, Norbord and each Lender, provided the Fronting Lender acts in accordance with the standards of reasonable care specified in the Uniform Customs. The Fronting Lender shall, within a reasonable time after its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Fronted Letter of Credit.

Payment of Amounts Drawn under Fronted Letter of Credit. WFT or Norbord, as applicable, shall reimburse the Fronting Lender on demand for any amount paid by the Fronting Lender upon a drawing under a Fronted Letter of Credit (the “drawn amount”). The amount so payable by WFT or Norbord shall include interest on the drawn amount at the rate per annum applicable to Prime Rate Advances (if the drawn amount was in Canadian Dollars) or the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Advances (if the drawn amount was in US Dollars), for the period from and including the date the drawn amount was paid by the Fronting Lender to but excluding the date of reimbursement of the drawn amount (together with interest) by WFT or Norbord, as applicable. If WFT or Norbord, as applicable, has failed to reimburse the Fronting Lender for a drawn amount (together with interest) by 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second Business Day following the date of demand by the Fronting Lender (the “demand date”), then:

WFT or Norbord, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have given a Borrowing Notice to the Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Prime Rate Advance (if the drawn amount was in Canadian Dollars) or a Base Rate Advance (if the drawn amount was in US Dollars) on the fourth Business Day after the demand date in an amount equal to the drawn amount plus interest, calculated as herein provided for the period from and including the date the drawn amount was paid by the Fronting Lender to but excluding the date on which the Prime Rate Advance or the Base Rate Advance (as the case may be) is made; and

the Lenders shall, on the fourth Business Day following the demand date, make such Advance in accordance with Article 3 and the Agent shall apply the proceeds thereof to the reimbursement of the Fronting Lender for the drawn amount together with interest.

No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan, including but not limited to the termination of a Pension Plan or failure to make contributions to a Pension Plan, which could result in the incurrence by a Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of any material liability, fine or penalty. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC (other than for current premiums) with respect to any Pension Plan. All material contributions have been made on a timely basis to any Multiemployer Plan that are required to be made by any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate under the terms of the plan or any collective bargaining agreement or applicable law. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to a Multiemployer Plan, including, but not limited to, the withdrawal or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan which could result in a material liability to any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate. No condition has occurred which, if continued, could result in a withdrawal or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and no Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has received any notice that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization, that increased contributions may be required to avoid a reduction in benefits or the imposition of any excise tax, that any such plan is or has been funded at a rate less than that required under Section 412 of the IRC, that any such plan may be terminated, or that any such plan is or may become insolvent.

Governmental Regulation. None of WFT, WFUS, Norbord nor any of their Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act (United States) or the Investment Company Act of 1940 (United States) or under any other United States federal or state statute or regulation which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness or which otherwise renders all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. None of WFT, WFUS, Norbord nor any of their Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (United States).

Patriot Act. To the extent applicable, each of WFT, WFUS, Norbord and each of their Subsidiaries is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act (United States), and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of any Accommodation will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (United States).

Sanctioned Persons. None of WFT, WFUS, Norbord nor any of their Subsidiaries appears on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Treasury Department or the U.S. Department of State, or any other similar list of sanctioned persons maintained by the Canadian government or the United States government or any governmental institutions, departments and agencies thereof, and the Borrowers will not use the proceeds of the Accommodations in any manner that will result in a violation by any Lender of any sanctions administered by the Canadian government or the United States government or any governmental institutions, departments or agencies thereof, including OFAC or the U.S. Department of State.

Disclosure. All information supplied to the Agent and the Lenders by or on behalf of any Borrower on or before the date of this Agreement, except to the extent superseded or clarified by more recent information provided to the Agent and the Lenders on or before the date of this Agreement, is with respect to factual matters true and correct in all material respects and is, with respect to projections, forecasts and other matters being the subject of opinion, believed on reasonable grounds to be true and correct in all material respects and, to the extent based upon assumptions, such assumptions are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances.
