Upon the termination of the Credit Facility, the right of the Borrower to obtain any credit thereunder and all of the obligations of the Lenders to extend credit thereunder shall automatically terminate.

the right of the Borrower to obtain any affected Base Rate Canada Loan or LIBOR Loan from such Lender shall be suspended until such Lender determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and such Lender so notifies the Borrower;

if any affected Base Rate Canada Loan or LIBOR Loan is not yet outstanding, any applicable Drawdown Notice shall be cancelled and the advance requested therein shall not be made;

if any LIBOR Loan is already outstanding at any time when the right of the Borrower to obtain credit by way of a LIBOR Loan is suspended, it shall, subject to the Borrower having the right to obtain credit by way of a Base Rate Canada Loan at such time, be converted on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (or on such earlier date as may be required to comply with any applicable law) to a Base Rate Canada Loan in the principal amount equal to the principal amount of the LIBOR Loan or, if the Borrower does not have the right to obtain credit by way of a Base Rate Canada Loan at such time, such LIBOR Loan shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (or on such earlier date as may be required to comply with any applicable law) to a loan in such other currency as may be mutually agreed upon in the principal amount equal to the Exchange Equivalent of such LIBOR Loan; and

in the case of each LIBOR Loan, LIBOR plus the Applicable Rate.

Interest on the outstanding principal amount from time to time of each Base Rate Canada Loan shall accrue from day to day from and including the date on which credit is obtained by way of such Loan to but excluding the date on which such Loan is repaid in full (both before and after maturity and as well after as before judgment) and shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365 or 366, as the case may be.

Accrued interest shall be paid,

in the case of interest on Base Rate Canada Loans, monthly in arrears on the 22^nd day of each calendar month; and

in the case of interest on LIBOR Loans, on the last day of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, in the case of Interest Periods of a duration longer than three months, accrued interest shall be paid no less frequently than every three months from the first day of such Interest Period during the term of such Interest Period and on the date on which such LIBOR Loans are otherwise required to be repaid.

(a)

For the purposes hereof, whenever interest is calculated on the basis of a year of 360 or 365 days, each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation expressed as an annual rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) is equivalent to such rate as so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365 days, respectively.

Interest on each Loan and on overdue interest thereon shall be payable in the currency in which such Loan is denominated during the relevant period.

If the Borrower fails to pay any fee or other amount of any nature payable by it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any document, instrument or agreement delivered pursuant hereto on the due date therefor, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, interest on such overdue amount in the same currency as such overdue amount is payable from and including such due date to but excluding the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate per annum, calculated and compounded monthly, which is equal to the Alternate Base Rate Canada plus the Applicable Rate plus 3%. Such interest on overdue amounts shall become due and be paid on demand made by the Administrative Agent.

Interest Periods shall have a duration from one, two, three or six months or such other period as may be agreed (subject to availability and to the aggregate number of Interest Periods with different dates outstanding being less than ten (10));

the first Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall commence on and include the day on which credit is obtained by way of such Loan and each subsequent Interest Period applicable thereto shall commence on and include the date of the expiry of the immediately preceding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

if any Interest Period would end on a day which is not a Banking Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Banking Day unless such next succeeding Banking Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall be shortened to end on the immediately preceding Banking Day.

If, with respect to any type of credit, the introduction or adoption of any law, regulation, guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency (“Restraint”) or any change therein or in the application thereof to the Borrower or to any Lender or in the interpretation or administration thereof or any compliance by any Lender therewith:

prohibits or restricts extending or maintaining such type of credit or the charging of interest or fees in connection therewith, the Borrower agrees that such Lender shall have the right to comply with such Restraint, shall have the right to refuse to permit the Borrower to obtain such type of credit and shall have the right to require, at the option of the Borrower, the conversion of such outstanding credit to another type of credit to permit compliance with the Restraint or repayment in full of such credit together with accrued interest thereon on the last day on which it is lawful for such Lender to continue to maintain and fund such credit or to charge interest or fees in connection therewith, as the case may be; or

shall impose or require any reserve, special deposit requirements or tax (excluding taxes measured with reference to the net income of such Lender or capital taxes or receipts and franchise taxes), shall establish an appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by such Lender or shall impose any other requirement or condition which results in an increased cost to such Lender of extending or maintaining a credit or obligation hereunder or reduces the amount received or receivable by such Lender with respect to any credit under this agreement or reduces such Lender’s effective return hereunder or on its capital or causes such Lender to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable hereunder, then, on notification to the Borrower by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay immediately to such Lender such amounts as shall fully compensate such Lender for all such increased costs, reductions, payments or foregone returns which accrue up to and including the date of receipt by the Borrower of such notice and thereafter, upon demand from time to time, the Borrower shall pay such additional amount as shall fully compensate such Lender for any such increased or imposed costs, reductions, payments or foregone returns. Such Lender shall notify the Borrower of any actual increased or imposed costs, reductions, payments or foregone returns forthwith on becoming aware of same and shall concurrently provide to the Borrower a certificate of an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of compensation to be paid to such Lender and the basis for the calculation of such amount. Notwithstanding this Section 8.2(a), the Borrower shall not be liable to compensate such Lender for any such cost, reduction, payment or foregone return occurring more than 60 days before receipt by the Borrower of the aforementioned notification from such Lender; provided, however, that the aforementioned limitation shall not apply to any such cost, reduction, payment or foregone return of a retroactive nature.

For certainty, the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as well as Basel III and all request, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a “Restraint”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, promulgated or issued.

Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause it to seek additional amounts from the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.2(a), it will use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected credit of such Lender through another lending office or take such other actions as it deems appropriate if as a result thereof the additional moneys which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such credit pursuant to Section 8.2(a), would be reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such affected credit through such other lending office or the taking of such other actions would not otherwise adversely affect such credit or such Lender and would not, in such Lender’s sole discretion, be commercially unreasonable.

If any Lender but not all of the Lenders who have Individual Commitments seeks additional compensation pursuant to Section 8.2(a), if any Lender becomes either a Defaulting Lender or a Lender in respect of which any amounts are paid or become payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.6 (each such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrower may indicate to the Administrative Agent in writing that it desires to replace the Affected Lender with one or more of the other Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall then forthwith give notice to the other Lenders that any such Lender or Lenders may, in the aggregate, advance all (but not part) of the Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the affected credit and, in the aggregate, assume all (but not part) of the Affected Lender’s Individual Commitment and obligations under the Credit Facility and acquire all (but not part) of the rights of the Affected Lender and assume all (but not part) of the obligations of the Affected Lender under each of the other Credit Documents to the extent they relate to the Credit Facility (but in no event shall any other Lender or the Administrative Agent be obliged to do so). If one or more Lenders shall so agree in writing (herein collectively called the “Assenting Lenders” and individually called an “Assenting Lender”) with respect to such advance, acquisition and assumption, the Pro Rata Share of such credit of each Assenting Lender and the Individual Commitment and the obligations of such Assenting Lender under the Credit Facility and the rights and obligations of such Assenting Lender under each of the other Credit Documents to the extent they relate to the Credit Facility shall be increased by its respective pro rata share (based on the relative Individual Commitments of the Assenting Lenders) of the Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such credit and Individual Commitments and obligations under the Credit Facility and rights and obligations under each of the other Credit Documents to the extent they relate to the Credit Facility on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Lenders and the Borrower. On such date, the Assenting Lenders shall extend to the Borrower the Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such credit and shall prepay to the Affected Lender the advances of the Affected Lender then outstanding, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to the Affected Lender hereunder, and, upon such advance and prepayment by the Assenting Lenders, the Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this agreement and shall no longer have any obligations hereunder. Upon the assumption of the Affected Lender’s Individual Commitment as aforesaid by an Assenting Lender, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to increase the Individual Commitment of such Assenting Lender by the amount of such assumption. For certainty, the Borrower shall not be required to pay an Affected Lender that is a Defaulting Lender in respect of breakage costs or other amounts required to be paid as a result of prepayment to such Lender. In the event that an Affected Lender is not replaced pursuant to the foregoing provisions and provided (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any such prepayment and cancellation or would arise immediately thereafter and (y) such prepayment and cancellation is not prohibited by applicable law, the Borrower may, upon five Banking Days’ notice to the Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent, cancel the Individual Commitment of such Affected Lender and prepay advances of such Affected Lender then outstanding, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Lender hereunder (such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent), and, upon such notice and prepayment by the Borrower, such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for all purposes of this agreement and shall no longer have any obligations hereunder.

The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Replacement Lender Notice”), from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, request that the amount of the Individual Commitments with respect to the Credit Facility be increased by the aggregate amount of any Individual Commitments cancelled pursuant to this section (which have not been replaced) specifying the Lenders and/or proposed new Lenders that have agreed to accept Individual Commitments with respect to the Credit Facility in the aggregate amount of such requested increase. For certainty, the aggregate Individual Commitments under the Credit Facility shall not exceed at any particular time $1,500,000,000 minus the aggregate of any permanent reductions to the Credit Facility made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3.

Each Replacement Lender that is an existing Lender shall send a confirming letter to the Administrative Agent confirming that it has agreed to an increased Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility and setting out the amount of that commitment. The establishment of that Replacement Lender’s Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility shall, subject to Section 8.3(f) and (g), take place with effect from the second Banking Day following the date of the delivery of such notice to the Administrative Agent. Upon the establishment of that Replacement Lender’s increased Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to evidence the Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility of that Replacement Lender by the amount of such increase.

Any Replacement Lender that is not an existing Lender must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent acting in its sole discretion exercised reasonably. Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Replacement Lender Agreement executed by the Borrower and a Replacement Lender that is so acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver such Replacement Lender Agreement whereupon this agreement and each other Credit Document shall, subject to Section 8.3(f) and (g), henceforth be read and construed as if such Replacement Lender were party to this agreement as a Lender having all of the rights and obligations of a Lender expressed herein with respect to the Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility that the Replacement Lender has agreed to accept and all references to any Lenders in any Credit Document shall (to the extent the context so admits) be construed accordingly. Consequent thereto, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to add the Individual Commitment of such Replacement Lender. Each Lender irrevocably appoints, authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, as its attorney and agent, with full power of substitution and delegation, to complete and execute on its behalf each Replacement Lender Agreement relating to each Replacement Lender. Each Lender agrees that it will be bound by the terms of each such Replacement Lender Agreement so completed and executed by the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the increased Individual Commitments with respect to the Credit Facility arising pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and (d),

No increase in or establishment of, any Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be permitted at any time that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is outstanding.

On the first Banking Day following any deemed amendment to Schedule A pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and (d), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Replacement Lender in writing of (i) the aggregate outstanding credit under the Credit Facility already advanced by the Lenders to the Borrower (the “Existing Facility Indebtedness”) and (ii) its Pro Rata Share of the Existing Facility Indebtedness. Within one Banking Day of receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of each Lender, its Pro Rata Share of the Existing Facility Indebtedness whereupon the Administrative Agent shall disburse such proceeds to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.7.

the failure of the Borrower to borrow or make repayments on the dates specified under this agreement or in any notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (provided that if any notice specifies the repayment of a LIBOR Loan at any time other than its maturity date, then the Borrower shall be responsible for any loss, costs or expenses referred to above); or

the repayment or prepayment of any amounts on a day other than the payment dates prescribed herein or in any notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (provided that if any notice specifies the repayment of a LIBOR Loan at any time other than its maturity date, then the Borrower shall be responsible for any loss, costs or expenses referred to above).

The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs, charges, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and out of pocket disbursements and amounts paid in settlement which are approved by the Borrower (collectively in this Section 8.5(a), the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, the Indemnified Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) the extension of credit contemplated herein, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any credit extended hereunder, (iii) any actual or threatened investigation, litigation or other proceeding relating to any credit extended or proposed to be extended as contemplated herein or (iv) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Credit Documents and any instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto or thereto, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities that a court of competent jurisdiction determines arose on account of an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Without limiting the generality of the indemnity set out in the preceding clause (a), the Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demand, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs, charges, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and out of pocket disbursements and amounts paid in settlement which are approved by the Borrower, of any and every kind whatsoever paid (collectively in this Section 8.5(b), the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, the Indemnified Parties or any of them for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of, (i) the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from, any real property legally or beneficially owned (or any estate or interest which is owned), leased, used or operated by any Obligor of any Hazardous Material, Contaminant, Pollutant or Waste, and (ii) any other violation of an Environmental Law by any Obligor, and regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, such Obligor, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities that a court of competent jurisdiction determines arose on account of an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

All obligations provided for in this Section 8.5 shall survive indefinitely the permanent repayment of the outstanding credit hereunder and the termination of the Credit Agreement. The obligations provided for in this Section 8.5 shall not be reduced or impaired by any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.

The Borrower hereby agrees that, for the purposes of effectively allocating the risk of loss placed on the Borrower by this Section 8.5, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be acting as the agent or trustee on behalf of and for the benefit of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents.

If, for any reason, the obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be unenforceable, the Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each obligation that is permissible under applicable law.

The indemnity under this Section 8.5 shall not apply to any matters specifically dealt with in Sections 8.2, 8.4, 8.6 or 11.1(f).

Any and all payments made by the Borrower under this agreement or under any other Credit Document (any such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Payment”) to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be made without set-off or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future Taxes except to the extent that such deduction or withholding is required by law or the administrative practice of any Official Body. If any such Taxes are so required to be deducted or withheld from or in respect of any Payment made to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall:

promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such requirement;

pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, in addition to the Payment to which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is otherwise entitled, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (free and clear of, and net of, any such Taxes, including the full amount of any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by the Borrower under this Section 8.6(a), whether assessable against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Lender) equals the full amount the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required;

make such deduction or withholding;

pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable law the full amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Section 8.6(a)), within the time period required by applicable law; and

as promptly as possible thereafter, forward to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, an original official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, evidencing such payment to such Official Body.

In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future Other Taxes.

The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, on an after-Taxes basis, for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, interest, penalties and other liabilities, levied, imposed or assessed against (and whether or not paid directly by) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, and for all expenses, resulting from or relating to the Borrower’s failure to:

remit to the Administrative Agent or any Lender the documentation referred to in Section 8.6(a)(v); or

pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the relevant Official Body (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any Official Body on amounts payable under this Section 8.6).

The provisions of this Section 8.6(c) shall apply whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally assessed. The Administrative Agent or any Lender who pays any Taxes or Other Taxes in excess of the amount (if any) paid by the Borrower on account thereof under Section 8.6(b), shall promptly notify the Borrower of such payment, provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not detract from, or compromise, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.6. Payment pursuant to this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor accompanied by a certificate as to the amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes and the calculation thereof, which calculation shall be prima facie evidence of such amount.

If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which a payment has been made under this Section 8.6, the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall, if so requested by the Borrower, cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Taxes at the Borrower’s expense.

If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund of, or credit for, Taxes for which a payment has been made by the Borrower under this Section 8.6, which refund or credit in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to the Taxes giving rise to such payment made by the Borrower, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount (if any, but not exceeding the amount of any payment made under this Section 8.6 that gives rise to such refund or credit), net of out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, which the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, determines in its absolute discretion will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if such Taxes had not been exigible. The Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, agrees to repay the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, any portion of any such refund or credit paid over to the Borrower that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is required to pay to the relevant Official Body and agrees to pay any interest, penalties or other charges paid by the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, as a result of or related to such payment to such Official Body. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner so as to claim any refund or credit. None of the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with this Section 8.6(e) or any other provision of this Section 8.6.

The Borrower also hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, on an after-Taxes basis, for any additional taxes on net income that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be obliged to pay as a result of the receipt of amounts under this Section 8.6.

Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Taxes or Other Taxes (collectively, “Relevant Taxes”) under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to Payments shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law (if any) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding or a reduced rate of Relevant Taxes. In addition, (i) any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law (if any) or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements, and (ii) any Lender that ceases to be, or to be deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Tax Act or any successor provision thereto in respect of Payments shall within five Banking Days thereof notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 8.6(g) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

Additional amounts payable under Section 8.6(a) have the same character as the Payments to which they relate. For greater certainty, for example, additional amounts payable under Section 8.6(a) in respect of interest payable under a Credit Document, shall be payments of interest under such Credit Document. All payments made under this Section 8.6 shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.6.

Authorization and Enforcement. All necessary action, corporate or otherwise, has been taken to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Credit Documents to which it is a party. Each Obligor has duly executed and delivered the Credit Documents to which it is a party. The Credit Documents to which each Obligor is a party are legal, valid and binding obligations of such Obligor, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application limiting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the fact that the courts may deny the granting or enforcement of equitable remedies and (iii) the fact that, pursuant to the Currency Act (Canada), no court in Canada may make an order expressed in any currency other than lawful money of Canada.

Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, do not and will not conflict with, result in any material breach or violation of, or constitute a material default under, the terms, conditions or provisions of the charter or constating documents or by-laws of, or any shareholder agreement or declaration relating to, such Obligor or of any law, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on or applicable to such Obligor or to which its property is subject or of any material agreement (including, without limitation, the Metal Purchase Contracts), lease, licence, permit or other instrument to which such Obligor is a party or is otherwise bound or by which such Obligor benefits or to which its property is subject and do not require the consent or approval of any Official Body or any other party, other than such consents as have been obtained and are in effect.

The consolidated financial statements of the Borrower for the most recently completed Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, were prepared in accordance with GAAP and no Material Adverse Change has occurred in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower since the date of such financial statements.

Each Obligor holds all licenses, certificates of approval, approvals, registrations, permits and consents which are required to operate its businesses where they are currently being operated except where the failure to have such licenses, certificates of approval, approvals, registrations, permits and consents could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Outstanding Defaults. No event has occurred which constitutes or which, with the giving of notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under or in respect of any material agreement, undertaking or instrument to which any Obligor is a party or to which its property or assets may be subject, and which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

to any Lender or Lenders for any statements, representations or warranties in any of the Credit Documents or in any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby or in any other information provided pursuant to any of the Credit Documents or any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby or for the validity, effectiveness, enforceability or sufficiency of any of the Credit Documents or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby.

in making its decision to enter into this agreement and to make its Pro Rata Share of the Credit Facility available to the Borrower, it is independently taking whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and that it has made an independent credit judgment without reliance upon any information furnished by the Administrative Agent; and

so long as any portion of the Credit Facility is being utilized by the Borrower, it will continue to make its own independent evaluation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower.

Subject to Sections 14.14(b) - (d) any term, covenant or condition of any of the Credit Documents may only be amended with the prior consent of the Borrower and the Majority Lenders or compliance therewith may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the Majority Lenders and in any such event the failure to observe, perform or discharge any such covenant, condition or obligation, so amended or waived (whether such amendment is executed or such consent or waiver is given before or after such failure), shall not be construed as a breach of such covenant, condition or obligation or as a Default or Event of Default.

Notwithstanding Section 14.14(a), without the prior written consent of each Lender, no such amendment or waiver shall directly:

increase the amount of the Credit Facility or the amount of the Individual Commitment of any Lender;

extend the Maturity Date;

extend the time for the payment of interest on Loans, forgive any portion of principal thereof, reduce the stated rate of interest thereon or amend the requirement of pro rata application of all amounts received by the Administrative Agent in respect of the Credit Facility whether before or after acceleration;

change the percentage of the Lenders’ requirement to constitute the Majority Lenders or otherwise amend the definition of Majority Lenders;

reduce the stated amount or postpone the date for payment of any fees or other amount to be paid pursuant to Article 7 or Article 8 of this agreement;

release any of the Guarantees in whole or in part; or

alter the terms of this Section 14.14.

The Borrower may at any time that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, by written request to the Administrative Agent (each, a “Unanimous Lender Request”), request an amendment or waiver that requires the prior written consent of each Lender pursuant to Section 14.14(b). A copy of the Unanimous Lender Request shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders in accordance with Section 14.18. Each Lender may in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Unanimous Lender Response Notice”), within 10 Banking Days of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Unanimous Lender Request (the “Unanimous Lender Response Period”), approve or decline the Unanimous Lender Request. If any Lender does not provide a Unanimous Lender Response Notice within the Unanimous Lender Response Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined the Unanimous Lender Request. If Lenders with Individual Commitments that in the aggregate are greater than 30% of the aggregate Individual Commitments of all Lenders do not approve the Unanimous Lender Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the Unanimous Lender Request has been declined;

if Lenders with Individual Commitments that in the aggregate are equal to or greater than 70% but less than 100% of the aggregate Individual Commitments of all Lenders approve the Unanimous Lender Request within the Unanimous Lender Response Period (the “Approving Lenders”), the following shall apply:

On or before the second Banking Day after the Unanimous Lender Response Period, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (the “Acquisition Request Notice”) to the Borrower and each Lender identifying the Approving Lenders and Lender or Lenders that have declined or are deemed to have declined the Unanimous Lender Request (the “Declining Lenders”) and their respective Individual Commitments.

Any Approving Lender may, at its option, acquire all or any portion of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents (all of such rights and obligations being herein called the “Available Amount”) by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Acquisition Notice”) of the portion of the Available Amount which it is prepared to acquire (the “Desired Acquisition Amount”). Such Acquisition Notice shall be given within 10 days following the giving of the Acquisition Request Notice (such deadline being herein called the “Acquisition Deadline”). If only one Approving Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Administrative Agent or if more than one Approving Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Administrative Agent but the aggregate of their Desired Acquisition Amounts is less than or equal to the Available Amount, then each such Approving Lender shall be entitled to acquire its Desired Acquisition Amount of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents. If more than one Approving Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Administrative Agent and the aggregate of the Desired Acquisition Amounts is greater than the Available Amount, then each such Approving Lender shall be entitled to acquire a pro rata share of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents, such pro rata share being determined based on the relative Desired Acquisition Amount of each such Approving Lender. On or before the second Banking Day following the Acquisition Deadline, the Administrative Agent shall give to the Borrower and each Lender a written notice identifying the Available Amount of each Declining Lender and the portion thereof to be acquired by each Approving Lender. Each of such acquisitions shall be completed on the date which is fifteen days following the Acquisition Deadline in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 16.5(c) . If the Available Amount is not completely acquired by the Approving Lenders, the Borrower may locate other Persons (“Substitute Lenders”) who qualify as Lenders, are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, and who acquire all or a portion of the balance of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents on the date which is fifteen days following the Acquisition Deadline in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 16.5(c) . Any outstanding credit extended by the Declining Lenders to the Borrower under the Credit Facility which is not so acquired by Approving Lenders or Substitute Lenders shall be repaid and the Individual Commitments of the Declining Lenders not so acquired shall be cancelled on the date which is fifteen days following the Acquisition Deadline and the amount of the Credit Facility shall thereupon be reduced by the aggregate of the Individual Commitments so cancelled. The Borrower shall comply with Section 8.4 in connection with any such prepayment. For certainty, upon the acquisition of the Available Amount by the Approving Lenders and/or the Substitute Lenders and, if applicable, repayment of outstanding credit extended by the Declining Lenders to the Borrower under the Credit Facility which is not so acquired, the Unanimous Lender Request shall be deemed to have been consented to by all of the Lenders.

No amendment to or waiver of any provision hereof to the extent it affects the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Individual Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

The Lenders agree that, at any time after all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant hereto has become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 13.1 or after the cancellation or termination of the Credit Facility, they will at any time or from time to time upon the request of any Lender through the Administrative Agent purchase portions of the availments made available by the other Lenders which remain outstanding, and make any other adjustments which may be necessary or appropriate, in order that the amounts of the availments made available by the respective Lenders which remain outstanding, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 14.16, will be in the same proportions as their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof immediately prior to such acceleration, cancellation or termination.

The Lenders agree that, at any time after all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant hereto has become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 13.1 or after the cancellation or termination of the Credit Facility, the amount of any repayment made by the Borrower under this agreement, and the amount of any proceeds of the exercise of any rights or remedies of the Lenders under the Credit Documents, which are to be applied against amounts owing hereunder as principal, will be so applied in a manner such that to the extent possible, the availments made available by the respective Lenders which remain outstanding, after giving effect to such application, will be in the same proportions as their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof with respect to the Credit Facility immediately prior to such acceleration, cancellation or termination.

For greater certainty, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 14.16(a) and (b), such provisions will have application if and whenever any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, compensation, or otherwise) on account of any monies owing or payable by the Borrower to it under the Credit Documents in excess of its pro rata share of payments on account of monies owing by the Borrower to all the Credit Parties thereunder.

The Borrower agrees to be bound by and 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 14.16.

firstly, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, all legal fees and disbursements) in the exercise of all or any of the powers granted to it hereunder;

secondly, to the payment of the Obligations (other than those referred to in clause (a)) to the Credit Parties; and

the balance, if any, to payment to the Obligors or otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

Except with respect to a Permitted Reorganization, neither the Credit Documents nor the benefit thereof may be assigned by the Obligors.

A Lender may at any time sell to one or more other persons (“Participants”) participating interests in any credit outstanding hereunder, any commitment of the Lender hereunder or any other interest of the Lender hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, the Lender’s obligations under this agreement to the Borrower shall remain unchanged, the Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and the Borrower shall continue to be obligated to the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights under this agreement. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared to be or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or any Default which might mature into an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as the Lender under this agreement. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 8 with respect to its participation hereunder; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Article than the Lender with the relevant Individual Commitment at the date hereof would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by the Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

With the prior written consent of (i) the Borrower (which consent shall not be required (x) if such sale is to one or more other Lenders or to an Affiliate of any Lender and such assignment would not impose at the time of the assignment on the Borrower any liability under Section 8.2 or 8.6 or (y) in circumstances where an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and (ii) the Administrative Agent, a Lender may at any time sell all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents (but not less than the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) the entirety of its Individual Commitment) to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Lenders”), provided that such consent is not required in the case of the sale by a Schedule II Lender to its Affiliate that is listed in Schedule III to the Bank Act (Canada). Upon such sale, the Lender shall, to the extent of such sale, be released from its obligations under the Credit Documents and each of the Purchasing Lenders shall become a party to the Credit Documents to the extent of the interest so purchased; provided, however, no Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall be released from any obligation in respect of damages arising in connection with it being or becoming a Defaulting Lender. Any such assignment by a Lender shall not be effective unless and until such Lender has paid to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 for each Purchasing Lender, unless and until the Purchasing Lender has executed an instrument substantially in the form of Schedule C hereto whereby the Purchasing Lender has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Credit Documents as a Lender and has agreed to a specific Individual Commitment and a specific address and telefacsimile number for the purpose of notices as provided in Section 15.1, unless and until the requisite consents to such assignment have been obtained, unless and until a copy of a fully executed copy of such instrument has been delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon any such assignment becoming effective, (i) Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to include the Purchasing Lender as a Lender with the specific Individual Commitment, address and telefacsimile number as aforesaid and the Individual Commitment of the Lender making such assignment shall be deemed to be reduced by the amount of the Individual Commitment of the Purchasing Lender and (ii) the cover page to this agreement shall be deemed to be amended (and counsel to the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to make any such amendments to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent) to include a reference thereon to the Purchasing Lender as a Lender and, if applicable, any title awarded to such Purchasing Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, any such title being awarded strictly in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter).

The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee and authorizes each of the Lenders to disclose to any other Lender any and all financial information in their possession concerning the Borrower which has been delivered to them by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this agreement or which has been delivered to them by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with their credit evaluation of the Obligors prior to becoming a party to this agreement, so long as any such Transferee agrees not to disclose any confidential, non-public information to any person other than its non-brokerage affiliates, employees, accountants or legal counsel, unless required by law.

If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Obligor in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (such currency being hereinafter in this Section 15.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in another currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 15.8 referred to as the “Indebtedness Currency”) under this agreement, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Banking Day immediately preceding:

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

the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 15.8(a)(ii) being hereinafter in this Section 15.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 15.8(a)(ii), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower shall pay to the appropriate judgment creditor or creditors such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Indebtedness Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

Any amount due from the Borrower under the provisions of Section 15.8(b) shall be due to the appropriate judgment creditor or creditors as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this agreement.

The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 15.8 means the noon spot rate of exchange for Canadian interbank transactions applied in converting the Indebtedness Currency into the Judgment Currency published by the Bank of Canada for the day in question.

The Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti- money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and "know your client" applicable laws, whether within Canada or elsewhere (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or unitholders or other Persons in control of the Borrower and/or any such Subsidiary, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower shall promptly:

provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assignee of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence; and

if requested from time to time, notify the recipient of any such information of any changes thereto.

If, upon the written request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any authorized signatories of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation on such Lender's behalf, then the Administrative Agent:

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 Administrative Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and

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