The amounts so provided by the U.S. Lenders in respect of the U.S. Swingline Facility shall be deemed to be U.S. Prime Rate Loans denominated in U.S.$ under the U.S. Revolving Facility in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (and for such purposes any notice provisions or minimum amounts of such Loans otherwise required under this Agreement shall be disregarded except for the proviso to this Section 2.2(d)(ii).

(i)

each Canadian Lender shall, not later than 12:00 noon on the Drawdown Date, make, or procure to be made, its Participation in such ~~Bankers’ Acceptances~~CORRA Loan, Prime Rate Loan, SOFR Loan or U.S. Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, available to the Canadian Agent in accordance with Article 10; and

the Canadian Agent shall on the Drawdown Date, make such ~~Bankers’ Acceptances~~CORRA Loan, Prime Rate Loan, SOFR Loan or U.S. Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, available to the Canadian Borrower, in accordance with Article 10.

(i)

each U.S. Lender shall, not later than 12:00 noon on the Drawdown Date, make, or procure to be made, its Participation in the U.S. Prime Rate Loan or SOFR Loan, as the case may be, available to the U.S. Agent in accordance with Article 10; and

2.5

Participation of Each Lender; Defaulting Lender

(a)

The Canadian Agent is authorized by the Canadian Borrower and each Canadian Lender to allocate amongst the Canadian Lenders the ~~Bankers’ Acceptances~~CORRA Loans to be issued ~~and purchased~~ in such manner and amounts as the Canadian Agent may, in its sole and unfettered discretion consider necessary and equitable, rounding up or down, so as to ensure that no Canadian Lender is required to ~~accept and purchase a Bankers’ Acceptance~~fund a CORRA Loan for a fraction of Cdn.$100,000; provided however the Canadian Agent shall seek to allocate such ~~Bankers’ Acceptances~~CORRA Loans in such amounts and for such terms, over time, as to maintain the Participations of all such Canadian Lenders in substantially the relative amounts and percentages set out on Schedule “H”. To the extent, if any, necessary to maintain each such Participation as the result of the foregoing, the Canadian Agent shall allocate a lesser or greater amount of other Advances to each Canadian Lender.

(b)

At the time of making any Loan, the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, shall, if appropriate, re-allocate amounts made available to the Borrowers under any of the Loans to give effect to the Participation of each Lender, determined immediately prior to the making of a Loan.

(c)

For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or participate in Borrowings, the Agent may exclude the Commitments, and Loans ~~and Banker’s Acceptance~~ of any Defaulting Lender from the calculation of Participation. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any Guarantee, except as provided in Sections 13.8(a), (b), (c) and (h).

(d)

The Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Agent such amounts until all Borrowings and indebtedness owing to the Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Lenders and Issuing Bank have been paid in full. The Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to cash collateralize such Lender’s Letter of Credit obligations, or readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee. If any Letter of Credit obligation owing to a Defaulting Lender is reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such Letter of Credit obligations shall be paid to such Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Letter of Credit obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender may be reallocated to the other Lenders only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the exposure, as applicable, of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment The Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to Letter of Credit obligations that are not reallocated.

(e)

If any Borrowings are outstanding under a Swingline Facility at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)

all or any part of the outstanding Swingline Facility, of which the Defaulting Lender would be required to participate in, shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in the applicable Revolving Facility in accordance with their respective Participations but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ total exposure plus such Defaulting Lenders’ Swingline Facility exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; or

(ii)

if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Canadian Agent first, repay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Facility exposure.

(f)

If a Defaulting Lender exists, the Canadian Swingline Lender or the U.S. Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall not be required to fund the applicable Swingline Facility, unless the Canadian Swingline Lender or the U.S. Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to the Canadian Swingline Lender or the U.S. Swingline Lender, as applicable, as the case may be, to defease any risk in respect of such Lender hereunder.

(g)

Borrowers, the Agent and applicable Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Participation shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and Loans, and all outstanding Loans, Letter of Credit obligations and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by the Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Participation. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, the Agent and applicable Issuing Bank, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of Letter of Credit obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

2.6

~~Bankers’ Acceptances~~Rate Flip

(a)

The Borrower shall have the option to change the Type of CORRA Borrowings available hereunder from Term CORRA Borrowings to Daily Compounded CORRA Borrowings (a “Rate Flip”), by providing a Rate Flip Request to the Canadian Agent. The Rate Flip shall be effective as of the date set out in the Rate Flip Request, which shall be a date that is at least five (5) Business Days following the date of such Rate Flip Request (the “Rate Flip Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, outstanding Term CORRA Borrowings shall not convert to Daily Compounded CORRA Borrowings as of the Rate Flip Date.

(b)

As of the Rate Flip Date, Daily Compounded CORRA Borrowings shall be available to the Borrower, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Term CORRA Borrowings shall no longer be available to the Borrower. Any request for, or conversion to, a Term CORRA Borrowing shall be deemed to be a request for, or conversion to, a Daily Compounded CORRA Borrowings.

(a) Each Banker’s Acceptance tendered by the Canadian Borrower for acceptance by a Canadian Lender under the Canadian Revolving Facility shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars and be payable in Canada. The Canadian Borrower acknowledges that the Canadian Lenders may require the delivery of drafts which are in conformity with the rules and procedures of a clearing house (as that term is defined in the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada)) used by the Canadian Lenders for the delivery, transfer and collection of bankers’ acceptances and depository bills.

(b) The Borrower shall provide for each accepted draft at its maturity to the Canadian Agent either by payment of the full principal amount thereof or through utilization of the Canadian Revolving Facility in accordance with this Agreement or through a combination thereof. The Canadian Borrower may not at any time request that any Bankers’ Acceptance be issued if the face amount of such requested Bankers’ Acceptance together with the aggregate of the other outstanding Loans under the Canadian Revolving Facility, would exceed the amount available to be drawdown under the Canadian Revolving Facility at such time. Any amount owing by the Canadian Borrower in respect of any Bankers’ Acceptance which is not paid or provided for in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed to be a Prime Rate Loan owing by the Canadian Borrower to the Canadian Lenders and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Prime Rate Loan. The Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes the Canadian Lenders to debit its account by the amount required to pay any such drafts made by it and accepted as a Bankers’ Acceptance hereunder which is not otherwise paid.

(c)

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall then be continuing unremedied not waived by the Lenders (whether or not demand is made), the Canadian Borrower shall forthwith pay to the Canadian Agent an amount equal to the Canadian Lender’s maximum potential liability under all such outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances. Such amount shall be held by the Canadian Agent as general and continuing cash collateral for payment of the indebtedness and liability of the Canadian Borrower to the Canadian Lenders in respect of such Bankers’ Acceptances and any other obligations to the Canadian Lenders.Following the Rate Flip Date, all outstanding Term CORRA Borrowings may remain outstanding until the last day of the Interest Period applicable to each such Term CORRA Borrowing. Unless such Term CORRA Borrowings are repaid as provided herein, each outstanding Term CORRA Borrowing shall be converted to a Daily Compounded CORRA Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable to each such Term CORRA Borrowing.

(d)

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Canadian Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Canadian Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Term CORRA Borrowing may be converted to a Daily Compounded CORRA Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term CORRA Borrowing shall be converted to a Prime Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(e)

At any time following a Rate Flip, the Canadian Borrower shall have the option to change the Type of CORRA Borrowings available hereunder from Daily Compounded CORRA Borrowings to Term CORRA Borrowings (a “Secondary Rate Flip”), pursuant to the terms set out in Section 2.6(a), (b), (c) and (d), except all references to “Term CORRA Borrowing” shall refer to “Daily Compounded CORRA Borrowing” and all references to “Daily Compounded CORRA Borrowing” shall refer to “Term CORRA Borrowing”. The Canadian Borrower may elect, in the Rate Flip Request, the Interest Period to be applicable to such Term CORRA Borrowings, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. If the Canadian Borrower fails to make such Interest Period election, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration.

~~(d) To facilitate the acceptance of Bankers’ Acceptances hereunder, the Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes the Canadian Lenders and irrevocably appoints the Canadian Lenders as its attorney:~~

(i) to complete and sign on the Canadian Borrower’s behalf, either manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, the drafts to create the Bankers’ Acceptances (with, in the Canadian Lender’s discretion, the inscription “This is a depository bill subject to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada)”);

(ii) after the acceptance thereof by the applicable Canadian Lender, to endorse on the Canadian Borrower’s behalf, either manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, such Bankers’ Acceptances in favour of the applicable purchaser or endorsee thereof including, in the Canadian Lender’s discretion, the Canadian Lender or a clearing house (as defined by the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada));

~~(iii) to deliver such Bankers’ Acceptances to such purchaser or to deposit such Bankers’ Acceptances with such clearing house; and~~

(iv) to comply with the procedures and requirements established from time to time by the Canadian Lenders or such clearing house in respect of the delivery, transfer and collection of bankers’ acceptances and depository bills.

All Bankers’ Acceptances so completed, signed, endorsed, delivered or deposited by a Canadian Lender on behalf of the Canadian Borrower shall be binding upon the Canadian Borrower as if completed, signed, endorsed, delivered or deposited by it. The records of the Canadian Lenders and such clearing house shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusively binding on the Canadian Borrower. The Lenders shall not be liable for any claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of such drafts or Bankers’ Acceptances except for damages suffered by the Canadian Borrower caused by the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of a Canadian Lender.

~~(e) The Borrowers shall not claim any days of grace for the payment at maturity of any drafts presented and accepted as Bankers’ Acceptances hereunder.~~

(f) When the Canadian Borrower wishes to make a Borrowing or Conversion by way of Bankers’ Acceptances it shall give the Canadian Agent the notice required pursuant to Section 2.2. Bankers’ Acceptances shall have terms of at least one (1) month and not more than three (3) months excluding days of grace (and which shall, in no event, end on a date after the Revolving Facilities Maturity Date) or any other term subject to market availability.

(g) On the same day it receives such notice, the Canadian Agent shall notify by telephone or in writing all the Canadian Lenders of the details of the proposed issue, specifying, for each Canadian Lender:

~~(i) the Principal Amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted and purchased by such Canadian Lender; and~~

~~(ii) the term of such Bankers’ Acceptances.~~

(h) Whenever the Canadian Borrower requests a borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, each Non BA Lender shall, in lieu of accepting and purchasing any B/As, make a Loan (a “BA Equivalent Loan”) to the Canadian Borrower in the amount and for the same term as each draft which such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Lender will provide to the Canadian Agent the amount of Available Proceeds of such BA Equivalent Loan for the account of the Canadian Borrower in the same manner as such Lender would have provided the Available Proceeds in respect of the B/As which such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such BA Equivalent Loan will bear interest at the same rate that would result if such Lender had accepted (and been paid an Acceptance Fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis) a B/A for the relevant period (it being the intention of the parties that each such BA Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the relevant Lenders and the Canadian Borrower as the B/A that such BA Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such BA Equivalent Loan is made, and will be deducted from the principal amount of such BA Equivalent Loan in the same manner in which the discounted portion of a B/A would be deducted from the face amount of the B/A. Subject to the repayment requirements of this Agreement, on the B/A Maturity Date for such BA Equivalent Loan, the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled to convert each such BA Equivalent Loan into another type of Loan, or to roll over each such BA Equivalent Loan into another BA Equivalent Loan, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each Non BA Lender may, at its discretion, request in writing to the Canadian Agent and the Canadian Borrower that BA Equivalent Loans made by it shall be evidenced by Discount Notes.

~~(i) For greater certainty, all provisions of this Agreement that are applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances shall also be applicable,~~ ~~mutatis mutandis, to BA Equivalent Loans, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all references to principal amounts or~~ any repayment or prepayment of any Loans that are applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances shall be deemed to refer to the full face amount thereof in the case of B/As and to the principal amount of any portion thereof consisting of BA Equivalent Loans. “Bankers’ Acceptances” includes Discount Notes and all terms of this Agreement applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances (including the provisions of Section 2.6(d) relating to their execution by the Canadian Lenders under power of attorney) shall apply equally to Discount Notes evidencing BA Equivalent Loans with such changes as may in the context be necessary. For greater certainty:

~~(i) the term of a Discount Note shall be the same as the B/A Maturity Date for B/As accepted and purchased on the same Borrowing date in respect of the same borrowing;~~

~~(ii) an Acceptance Fee will be payable in respect of a Discount Note and shall be calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the Acceptance Fee in respect of a B/A; and~~

(iii) the BA Discount Rate applicable to a Discount Note shall be the BA Discount Rate applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by a Canadian Lender that is not a Schedule I Lender in accordance with the definition of “BA Discount Rate” on the same Borrowing date or date of continuation or conversion, as the case may be, in respect of the same borrowing for the relevant period.

(j) The parties hereto acknowledge and confirm that (i) the B/A Maturity Dates, with respect to Existing B/As, remain un-amended under this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding that each Lender’s Commitment under this Agreement may not equal its Commitment under the Original Credit Agreement prior to the Effective Date, each Lender’s pro rata share of Existing B/As under this Agreement shall remain identical to such pro rata share until the B/A Maturity Dates with respect to such Existing B/As expire.

2.7

~~Acceptance Date Procedure~~[Reserved]

~~On the Acceptance Date, the following provisions shall apply:~~

~~(a) At or about 10:00 a.m. on the Acceptance Date, the Canadian Agent shall promptly determine the BA Discount Rate.~~

~~(b) Forthwith that same day~~, the Canadian Agent shall advise each Canadian Lender of:

~~(i) the BA Discount Rate;~~

(ii) the amount of the Acceptance Fee applicable to those Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by such Canadian Lender on such Acceptance Date, such Canadian Lender being authorized by the Canadian Borrower to collect such Acceptance Fee out of the Net Proceeds of those Bankers’ Acceptances mentioned in subsection (iii);

~~(iii) the Net Proceeds of those Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted and purchased by such Canadian Lender on such Acceptance Date; and~~

~~(iv) the amount obtained (the “Available Proceeds”) by subtracting the Acceptance Fee mentioned in subsection (ii)) from the Net Proceeds mentioned in subsection (iii).~~

~~(c) Not later than 12:00 noon that same day, each Canadian Lender shall make available to the Canadian Agent its Available Proceeds.~~

(d) That same day, the Canadian Agent shall transfer all such Available Proceeds so made available to it to the Canadian Borrower in accordance with Section 10.3 and shall notify the Canadian Borrower on such day either by telex or telephone (to be confirmed subsequently by letter) of the details of the issue, substantially in the form set out in Schedule “F”.

2.8

~~Purchase of Bankers’ Acceptances~~[Reserved]

Before giving value to the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Lenders shall, on the Acceptance Date, accept the Bankers’ Acceptances, by inserting the appropriate Principal Amount, Acceptance Date and maturity date thereof in accordance with the Canadian Borrower’s notice relating thereto and affixing their acceptance stamps thereto, and shall purchase same. The Principal Amount so accepted and purchased by any such Canadian Lender shall not exceed such Canadian Lender’s unutilized Commitment.

2.9

~~Payment of Bankers’ Acceptances~~[Reserved]

~~The Bankers’ Acceptances shall be payable in accordance with the following provisions:~~

~~(a)~~ The Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances on their respective B/A Maturity Dates.

~~(b) In the event the Canadian Borrower fails to notify the Canadian Agent, in writing, not later than 10:00 a.m. (such notice, if verbal, to be confirmed~~ to the Canadian Agent in writing later the same day, but not necessarily by 10:00 a.m.), two (2) Business Days prior to any B/A Maturity Dates of a Bankers’ Acceptance, that the Canadian Borrower intends to pay with its own funds the Principal Amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances due on such B/A Maturity Dates, the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed, for all purposes, to have given the Canadian Agent notice to convert the Principal Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptances into a Prime Rate Loan denominated in Cdn.$ and the provisions of Section 2.3 shall apply mutatis mutandis save that:

~~(i) such B/A Maturity Date shall be considered to be the Drawdown Date of such Prime Rate Loan;~~

~~(ii) the proceeds of such Prime Rate Loan shall be used to pay the Principal Amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances due on such B/A Maturity Date; and~~

(iii) on such B/A Maturity Date, each Canadian Lender, instead of making its Participation in such Prime Rate Loan available to the Canadian Agent, shall first directly apply its Participation in such Prime Rate Loan in payment of its Participation in the Principal Amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances accepted, purchased and issued by such Canadian Lender and due on such B/A Maturity Date.

2.10

Set-Off and Netting

On any ~~Acceptance~~Rollover Date, Drawdown Date or Repayment Date, the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to set-off and net amounts payable on such date by the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, to a Lender for the account of any Borrower against amounts payable on such date by such Lender to the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, in connection with transactions conducted in the same basis of borrowing, for the account of such Borrower. Similarly, on any ~~Acceptance~~Rollover Date, Drawdown Date or Repayment Date, each Lender shall be entitled to set-off and to net amounts payable on such date by such Lender to a Borrower (by payment to the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be), against amounts payable on such date by such Borrower to such Lender, in accordance with the Canadian Agent’s or the U.S. Agent’s, as the case may be, calculations. All amounts received by a Lender pursuant to its exercise of set-off or netting pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be shared rateably with the other Lenders.

2.11

Letters of Credit

(a)

(i)

Subject to the notice provisions of Sections 2.2 and 2.3 and upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the applicable Issuing Bank shall, at the request of a Borrower, issue under the applicable Revolving Facility one or more irrevocable Letters of Credit in such Issuing Bank’s usual form (or such other form as may be required by such Borrower and is acceptable to the Issuing Bank acting reasonably), expiring no later than, in the case of Standby Letters of Credit, 365 days from the date of issuance and, in the case of Trade Letters of Credit, 270 days from the date of issuance. If a Letter of Credit is set to expire beyond the Revolving Facilities Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall pledge to, and deposit with, the Canadian Agent cash collateral equal to the face amount of such Letters of Credit, plus all fees, prior to the termination of this Agreement. The maximum amount payable under all Letters of Credit shall not, at the time of issue of each Letter of Credit, exceed U.S.$25,000,000 (with respect to Letters of Credit issued at the request of the U.S. Borrower) and U.S.$25,000,000, or the Equivalent Amount thereof in Canadian Dollars (with respect to Letters of Credit issued at the request of the Canadian Borrower). Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) each condition above is satisfied; and (ii) if a Defaulting Lender exists, Borrowers have entered into arrangements satisfactory to Agent and Issuing Bank to eliminate any funding risk associated with such Defaulting Lender.

(ii)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit (i) the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (A) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or (B) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement or any Subsidiary of such party, (ii) if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any requirement of law relating to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, or (iii) if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in the implementation thereof, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements 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 or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed not to be in effect on the Effective Date for purposes of clause (ii) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(b)

(i)

In the event that an Issuing Bank is called upon by a beneficiary to honour a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower. Unless such Borrower has made other arrangements with the Issuing Bank with respect to payment to the Issuing Bank of an amount sufficient to permit the Issuing Bank to discharge its obligations under the Letter of Credit plus that amount equal to any and all charges and expenses which the Issuing Bank may pay or incur relative to such Letter of Credit, any such payment so payable in Canadian Dollars with respect to the Canadian Revolving Facility shall be deemed to be a Drawdown of a Prime Rate Loan under the Canadian Revolving Facility and any amount so payable in U.S. Dollars with respect to a Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to be a Drawdown by way of a U.S. Base Rate Loan under the Canadian Revolving Facility, and any such amount so payable with respect to a Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to be a Drawdown by way of a U.S. Prime Rate Loan under the U.S. Revolving Facility provided that the provisions of Section 2.2 regarding notices shall not apply to such Loans.

(ii)

Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse disbursements as provided in paragraph (b)(i) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever (other than payment or performance), whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Applicable Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. None of the Agents, the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank or any of their related parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(c)

Any Issuing Bank shall notify the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, of each issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit two (2) Business Days prior to the day upon which such issuance or amendment occurs and the Issuing Bank shall provide the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, with monthly reports setting out the face amount of Letters of Credit outstanding on each day of the preceding month. Each of the Lenders, other than an Issuing Bank, shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank its Participation of the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Each of the Canadian Lenders agrees to indemnify the Issuing Bank issuing Letters of Credit under the Canadian Facilities and each of the U.S. Lenders agrees to indemnify the Issuing Bank issuing Letters of Credit under the U.S. Facilities, in each case as to such Lender’s Participation of any amount paid by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit plus that amount equal to any and all payments, losses, costs, charges and expenses which such Issuing Bank may pay or incur relative to such Letter of Credit, except to the extent due to the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Issuing Bank as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment.

(d)

Each Borrower for which a Letter of Credit has been issued on its behalf shall pay to the Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as the case may be, for the account of the Canadian Lenders or the U.S. Lenders, as the case may be, quarterly in arrears on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after each Quarter that Letters of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower are outstanding, the applicable Letter of Credit Fee and the applicable Agent shall promptly pay such fees to such Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof.

(e)

Each Borrower for which a Letter of Credit has been issued on its behalf shall pay to the applicable Issuing Bank, sundry charges and out-of-pocket expenses payable in respect of Letters of Credit which the Issuing Bank issues pursuant to a request of such Borrower.

(f)

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Existing Letters of Credit which were issued under the Original Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement for all purposes hereunder.

2.12

Use of Proceeds

The Borrowers shall only use the Revolving Facilities to finance acquisitions of Eligible Businesses (other than any acquisition by way of a hostile takeover), for working capital needs, for Capital Expenditures and for general corporate purposes, including refinancing of existing debt, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

No Borrower will request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and no Borrower shall use, and each Borrower shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto or any Subsidiary of such party.

2.13

Banking Services

Any Lenders and any of their Affiliates may provide Banking Services to the Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries on terms and conditions acceptable to such Lender. Banking Services obligations owing by the Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries shall form part of the Obligations hereunder.

2.14

~~Incremental Facility~~[Reserved]

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the Canadian Revolving Commitments and the U.S. Revolving Commitments by obtaining additional Canadian Revolving Commitments and/or U.S. Revolving Commitments (the “Incremental Facility”), either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution; provided that:

~~(i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000;~~

~~(ii) the Canadian Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, may make a maximum of two (2) such requests;~~

~~(iii) after giving effect thereto, the sum of the total of the additional Commitments does not exceed U.S.$250,000,000;~~

~~(iv) the Administration Agent has approved any such new lending institution(s), such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld;~~

(v) any such new lending institution(s) assume(s) all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder and shall become party to the allocation and exchange mechanism agreement dated as of the Effective Date; and

~~(vi) the procedures described in Section 2.14(b) have been satisfied.~~

~~Nothing contained in this Section 2.14 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitments hereunder at any time.~~

(b) Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administration Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administration Agent, Swingline Lenders, Issuing Banks, the Borrowers and each Lender being added or increasing its Commitment. As a condition precedent to such an increase or addition, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administration Agent:

(i) a certificate of each Borrower signed by an authorized officer of such Borrower (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase or addition, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article 8 and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except such representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, which shall be true and correct in all respects), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, (2) no Default or Event of Default exists or would occur or is established after giving effect to the Incremental Facility, and (3) the Borrowers are in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in Section 8.4; and

~~(ii) legal opinions and customary documents, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administration Agent.~~

(c) On the effective date of any such increase or addition, (i) any Lender increasing (or, in the case of any newly added Lender, extending) its Canadian Revolving Commitment or U.S. Revolving Commitment shall make available to the Administration Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administration Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase or addition and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Borrowings, as applicable, of all the applicable Lenders to equal its revised pro rata share of such outstanding Borrowings, as applicable, and the Administration Agent shall make such other adjustments among the Lenders with respect to the Borrowings, as applicable, then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Administration Agent, in order to effect such reallocation and (ii) the Borrowers shall, if applicable, be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans as of the date of any increase (or addition) in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Period or B/A Maturity Dates, as applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Canadian Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each SOFR Loan or Bankers’ Acceptances, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.4 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related SOFR Interest Period or B/A Maturity Dates, as applicable. Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase or addition, the Administration Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the applicable Schedule “H” to reflect such increase or addition and shall distribute such revised Schedule “H” to each of the Lenders and the Canadian Borrower, whereupon such revised Schedule “H” shall replace the old such Schedule “H” and become part of this Agreement.

Article 6
– PREPAYMENT, CANCELLATION,
REALLOCATION

6.1

Prepayment and Cancellation

(a)

The Borrowers may at any time prepay (including the pledging and depositing of cash collateral required hereunder, as applicable), in whole or in part, Borrowings outstanding under the Facilities and thereby reduce or cancel, as the case may be, corresponding Commitments by the amount of such prepayment upon giving the Canadian Agent and/or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, in the case of the Canadian Facilities, in minimum amounts of Cdn.$10,000,000 and multiples of Cdn.$1,000,000 thereafter (or the Equivalent Amount thereof in U.S.$) and in the case of the U.S. Facilities, in minimum amounts of U.S.$10,000,000 and multiples of U.S.$1,000,000 thereafter. Any such prepayment of Borrowings outstanding under the Facilities shall be applied against reductions of Commitments.

For greater certainty repayments made under a Revolving Facility or a Swingline Facility pursuant to Section 2.2 do not constitute prepayments under this Section 6.1.

(b)

The Borrowers may, at any time, reduce or cancel any unused portion of the Commitments, provided that to the extent any such reduction shall cause any Borrowings outstanding to exceed the Commitments so reduced or cancelled such Borrowers shall prepay any such excess in accordance with paragraph (a) above.

(c)

Any prepayment and reduction or cancellation relating to ~~Bankers’ Acceptances~~CORRA Loans or SOFR Loans shall be made subject to the Borrowers’ obligations under Sections 7.4 and 7.5(c).

(d)

Any such prepayment and reduction shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Participations.

6.2

Notice

Each notice of prepayment and reduction or cancellation given pursuant to this Article shall be in the form of Schedule “B”, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date upon which such prepayment and reduction or cancellation is to be made. A Borrower may not thereafter give a notice of prepayment and reduction or cancellation of such part of the Facilities for a date other than the date so specified in any previous such notice.

6.3

Status of Lender

If, at any time:

(a)

the Commitment of any Lender is, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, permanently reduced to zero;

(b)

all indebtedness owed to such Lender by the Borrowers hereunder or in connection herewith has been finally and indefeasibly satisfied in full; and

(c)

such Lender is under no further actual or contingent obligation hereunder;

then such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and a Lender for the purposes hereof; provided however that all indemnities and provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of such Lender shall survive termination for the benefit of such Lender.

6.4

Fees

Upon cancellation of the Facilities in accordance with this Article 6, all accrued and unpaid fees for the Facilities as provided shall be paid in full on and to such cancellation date.

6.5

Reallocation

The Canadian Borrower may, no more than four (4) times per annum and with seven (7) Business Days’ prior written notice, require that the Canadian Agent reallocate, amongst the U.S. and Canadian Lenders, the Total Canadian Revolving Commitments and the Total U.S. Revolving Commitments. Application of such request shall be subject to there being no outstanding Advances under each Facility in excess of the modified Commitment for such Facility. Any increase in one Facility must have a corresponding decrease in another Facility. Following an increase in a Facility and a corresponding reduction in another, the Canadian Agent shall make such changes as are necessary to Schedule “H” hereto to reflect such changes to the Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall attempt to ensure that the effective date of any such increase shall be the maturity date of all Interest Periods ~~or B/A Maturity Dates~~ outstanding under such Facility. If the effective date for such increase is not on a maturity date of all such Interest Periods ~~or B/A Maturity Dates~~, the Borrowers agree that the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to terminate any outstanding SOFR Loans or ~~Bankers’ Acceptances~~CORRA Loans necessary to ensure that Lenders will have Advances outstanding in respect of the Facility, as applicable, based on their Participation. Each Borrower agrees that it shall be bound by the indemnification provisions of Section 7.4 with respect to all breakage costs incurred by an Agent or any Lender with respect to the termination of any existing SOFR Loans or ~~Bankers’ Acceptances~~CORRA Loans for such purposes.

Article 7
– SPECIAL SOFR, CORRA
AND INCREASED COST PROVISIONS

7.1

Benchmark Replacement Setting

(a)

Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the ~~Required~~Majority Lenders.

(b)

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c)

Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 7.1(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 7.1, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 7.1.

(d)

Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its discretion, acting reasonably, or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)

Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for an advance of a SOFR Loan, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to U.S. Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of U.S. Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of U.S. Base Rate.

~~(f) If the Canadian Agent (on instruction from any Lender) determines in good faith, which determination will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers, and~~ so notifies the Canadian Borrower, that there does not exist at the applicable time a normal market in Canada for the purchase and sale of Bankers Acceptances, any right of the Canadian Borrower to require the Lenders to purchase Bankers’ Acceptances and Discount Notes under this Agreement will be suspended until the Canadian Agent determines that such market does exist and gives notice thereof to the Canadian Borrower and any Drawdown Notice or Conversion Notice requesting Bankers’ Acceptances will be deemed to be a Drawdown Notice or Conversion Notice requesting a Prime Rate Loan in a similar aggregate principal amount.

~~(g)~~

~~(i) If the Agent reasonably~~ determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or the Majority Lenders notify the Agent that the Borrower or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined that:

(A) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining CDOR, including because the Refinitiv CDOR is not available or published on a current basis for the applicable Interest Period and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;

(B) the administrator of CDOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which CDOR will permanently or indefinitely cease to be made available or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans;

(C) a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which CDOR shall no longer be permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans (each such specific date in clause (B) above and in this clause (C) a “CDOR Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(D) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace CDOR,

then reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent and the Borrowers may mutually agree upon a successor rate to CDOR, and the Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace CDOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Canadian Dollars denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “CDOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed CDOR Successor Rate conforming changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders do not accept such amendment.

~~(ii) If no CDOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause 7.1(g)(i)(A) above exist or a CDOR Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable)~~, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans, or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, a Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance of, conversion to or rollover of Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, (to the extent of the affected Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans, or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for an Advance of Canadian Prime Rate Advances (subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) in the amount specified therein.

~~(iii) Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of the CDOR Successor Rate (exclusive of any margin) shall provide that in no event shall such CDOR Successor Rate be less than zero~~ for the purposes of this Agreement. In addition, CDOR shall not be included or referenced in the definition of Canadian Prime Rate.

7.2

Increased Cost

If the introduction of, or any change in, Applicable Law, regulation, treaty or official directive or regulatory requirement now or hereafter in effect (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any judicial or Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or if compliance by a Lender with any request from any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other regulatory authority (other than a change in the relative credit rating or borrowing ability of a Lender) (whether or not having the force of law):

(a)

subjects any Lender to any Tax, or changes the basis of taxation of payments due to such Lender or increases any existing Tax, on payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable by a Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement (in each case, except for Taxes on the net income or capital of such Lender), or

(b)

imposes on any Lender any other condition with respect to this Agreement (except for Taxes on the net income or capital of such Lender),

and the result of Sections 7.2(a) or (b) is to increase the cost to any Lender or to reduce the income receivable by such Lender in respect of a SOFR Loan or ~~BA Equivalent~~CORRA Loan by any amount, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, for the account of any such Lender, that amount which compensates such Lender for such additional cost or reduction in income (“Additional Compensation”) arising and calculated as and from a date which shall not be earlier than the 30th day preceding the date the applicable Borrower receives the notice referred to in the following sentence. Upon any Lender having determined that it is entitled to Additional Compensation, it shall promptly notify the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, and such Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower. A certificate by any manager of such Lender setting forth the amount of the Additional Compensation and the basis for it shall be submitted by such Lender to such Agent and forwarded by such Agent, to the applicable Borrower and, absent manifest error, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the Additional Compensation and the applicable Agent shall debit, from the applicable Borrower’s accounts, the amount stipulated as Additional Compensation in such certificate in accordance with Section 10.8.

If an Agent notifies a Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.2, such Borrower shall have the right, upon written irrevocable notice to that effect delivered to such Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the end of such Interest Period, to repay or convert such Lender’s Participation in any such SOFR Loan or CORRA Loan in full, together with payment of accrued interest and the Additional Compensation to the date of payment, to U.S. Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans which do not suffer the same defect or U.S. Prime Rate Loans, as the case may be, denominated in U.S.$ or Cdn.$, as applicable.

7.3

Illegality

(a)

If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert U.S. Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining U.S. Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the U.S. Base Rate, the interest rate on which U.S. Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the U.S. Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans of such Lender to U.S. Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which U.S. Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the U.S. Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loan and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the U.S. Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.5.

(b)

If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to Adjusted Term CORRA or Adjusted Daily Compounded CORRA, as applicable, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Adjusted Term CORRA or Adjusted Daily Compounded CORRA, as applicable, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Canadian Borrower through the Canadian Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term CORRA Loans or Daily Compounded CORRA, as applicable, or to convert Prime Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Canadian Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Canadian Borrower shall, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Canadian Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term CORRA Loans or Daily Compounded CORRA Loans, as applicable, of such Lender to Prime Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period , if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term CORRA Loans or Daily Compounded CORRA Loans, as applicable, to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term CORRA Loans or Daily Compounded CORRA Loans, as applicable. Each Lender agrees to notify the Canadian Agent and the Canadian Borrower in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Adjusted Term CORRA or Daily Compounded CORRA, as applicable. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Canadian Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

7.4

Indemnity

If a Borrower prepays or converts, whether pursuant to Section 6.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.5 or otherwise repays a SOFR Loan or a ~~Banker’s Acceptance~~CORRA Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period ~~or B/A Maturity Date, as applicable~~, such Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss, cost or expense (except that in the case of prepayment or conversion pursuant to Section 7.3, such loss, cost or expense shall be restricted to actual costs incurred by the Lenders) incurred in maintaining or redeploying deposits obtained by the Lenders to fund such SOFR Loan or ~~Banker’s Acceptance~~CORRA Loan. The provisions of Section 11.1(d) shall apply to such indemnification mutatis mutandis.

7.5

Other Increased Costs or Reductions in Return

(a)

If, with respect to any accommodation of any kind or nature provided by the Lenders under this Agreement~~, whether by way of Bankers’ Acceptances or otherwise~~ (each accommodation being in this Section 7.5 referred to as an “Accommodation”) and as a result of the introduction of or any change in any law, regulation, rule or order or in its interpretation or administration or by reason of any compliance with any guideline, request or requirement from any fiscal, monetary or other authority (other than a change in the relative credit rating or borrowing ability of a Lender with respect to such Accommodation) (whether or not having the force of law) which it is customary for a bank or other lending institutions to comply with in respect of all its loans or facilities of similar type in Canada or the U.S., as the case may be, in relation to Facilities made available to the Borrowers:

(i)

any Lender incurs a cost (which it would not otherwise have incurred) or becomes liable to make a payment (calculated with reference to the Borrowings outstanding under an Accommodation) with respect to continuing to provide or maintain an Accommodation (other than Taxes imposed on the net income or capital of such Lender);

(ii)

any reserve, special deposit, capital or similar requirement is imposed or increased with respect to an Accommodation increasing the cost thereof to any Lender; or

(iii)

any Lender suffers a reduction in its effective return on the date hereof, on the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (as determined by such Lender after taking into account any reduction in the rate of return (before Tax) on its overall capital arising as a consequence of compliance with any such guideline, request or requirement as aforesaid);

then the Borrowers shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, pay to such Lender such amount (the “Additional Other Compensation”) as will compensate the Lender for and will indemnify the Lender against such increase in costs or reduction of rate of return with respect to the Facilities (arising and calculated as and from a date which shall not be earlier than the 30th day preceding the date a Borrower receives notice from the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 7.5(b) below).

(b)

The Lender shall, forthwith, after incurring a cost as set out in Section 7.5(a)(i), suffering an increase in cost as set out in Section 7.5(a)(ii) or suffering a reduction in its effective return as set out in Section 7.5(a)(iii) (each being in this Section referred to as an “Event”) entitling the Lender to the payment of Additional Other Compensation and the Lender determining to claim such Additional Other Compensation, shall give notice to the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, of the Additional Other Compensation claimed with details of the Event giving rise thereto and the Agent shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the applicable Borrower. Such Lender shall at that time or within 20 days thereafter provide to such Agent a certificate setting out in reasonable detail a compilation of the Additional Other Compensation claimed (and where appropriate the Lender’s reasonable allocation to a Facility of Additional Other Compensation with respect to the aggregate of such similar facilities granted by the Lender affected by such Event) or, if the Lender is then unable to determine the Additional Other Compensation or the method of compilation thereof, an estimate of such Additional Other Compensation and/or the method or the basis on which the Lender estimates the calculation will be made which estimate will be confirmed or adjusted by the aforesaid certificate. The Agent shall promptly provide a copy of such certificate to the applicable Borrower. The certificate of the Lender with respect to the Additional Other Compensation shall , absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the amount payable. The Borrower shall, within 60 days of receipt of such notice from the Lender, pay to such Agent, for the account of the Lender, the Additional Other Compensation (or the estimated Additional Other Compensation) claimed but if the Additional Other Compensation claimed and paid is greater or lesser than the Additional Other Compensation as finally determined, the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, shall pay to the other the amount required to adjust the payment to the Additional Other Compensation required to be paid. The obligation to pay such Additional Other Compensation for subsequent periods will continue, subject as herein provided, until the earlier of the termination of the Accommodation affected by the Event referred to in the notice given by the Lender to the Agent or the lapse or cessation of the Event giving rise to the Additional Other Compensation.

(c)

Within 120 days of receipt of the above mentioned notice from the Agent, the Borrower may notify such Agent that it elects to repay or cancel, as the case may be, an Accommodation with respect to which Additional Other Compensation is claimed, or such Lender’s Participation therein, and, if such election to repay or cancel is made, the Borrower shall 45 days after the giving of the notice of election to repay or cancel to such Agent (for distribution to the Lenders or to such Lender, as the case may be) such Accommodation or Participation, as the case may be, pay or cancel the same, together with payment of accrued interest, if any, and the Additional Other Compensation (or the estimated Additional Other Compensation) applicable thereto calculated to the date of such repayment or cancellation. If any such repayment constitutes a prepayment of Bankers’ Acceptances, the Canadian Borrower shall deposit with the Canadian Agent (for the benefit of the Canadian Lenders involved) an amount equal to the face amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances then outstanding which are to be prepaid (the “Prepaid Bankers’ Acceptances”). The Canadian Agent shall, upon maturity of the Prepaid Bankers’ Acceptances, apply the sum so deposited against payment of the Prepaid Bankers’ Acceptances and remit to the Canadian Borrower the interest earned on the sum deposited.

(d)

For greater certainty, the costs referred to in Section 7.5(a) which may be included in Additional Other Compensation shall not include costs (i) which have already been factored into the Prime Rate, the U.S. Base Rate or the U.S. Prime Rate, as the case may be or (ii) which are attributable to staff time and related administrative costs incurred in the preparation and submission of compliance reports.

7.6

Additional Cost in Respect of Tax

(a)

Each payment to be made by a Borrower or a Guarantor hereunder or in connection herewith to any other party hereto shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of Tax (except for Taxes on the net income or capital of a Lender or Taxes resulting from such Lender changing its residency for tax purposes) unless a Borrower or such Guarantor is required to make such a payment subject to the deduction or withholding of Tax, in which case the sum payable by such Borrower or such Guarantor in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, such other party hereto receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.

(b)

If any Lender or any Agent, on behalf of such Lender or on its own behalf, is required by law to make any payment on account of Tax (except for Taxes on the overall net income or capital of such Lender or Agent or Taxes resulting from such Lender or Agent changing its residency for tax purposes) on or in relation to any sum received or receivable hereunder by such Lender or such Agent, or any liability in respect of any such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against such Lender or such Agent, the applicable Borrower and the Guarantors, as applicable will, upon demand of such Lender or Agent, promptly indemnify such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) against such payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith. If a Lender or Agent has paid over on account of Tax (other than Taxes excepted above) an amount paid to such Lender or Agent by a Borrower or a Guarantor pursuant to the foregoing indemnification and the amount so paid over is subsequently refunded to such Lender or Agent, in whole or in part, such Lender shall promptly remit such amount refunded to such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be.

7.7

Claims under Section 7.6

A Lender or Agent intending to make a claim pursuant to Section 7.6 shall deliver to the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim, a certificate to that effect specifying the event by reason of which it is entitled to make such claim and setting out in reasonable detail the basis and computation of such claim. Such Agent shall promptly deliver to the applicable Borrower a copy of such certificate.

7.8

Tax Receipts

If at any time a Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable by it hereunder or in connection herewith (or if thereafter there is any change in the rates at which or the manner in which such deductions or withholdings are calculated) such Borrower shall promptly notify the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, thereof.

If a Borrower makes any payment hereunder or in connection herewith in respect of which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding it shall pay the full amount to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for such payment under Applicable Law and shall deliver to such Agent within 30 days after it has made such payment to the applicable authority:

(a)

a receipt issued by such authority; or

(b)

other evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Agent evidencing the payment to such authority of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld from such payment.

7.9

Internal Revenue Service Forms

(a)

Prior to any payment being made by a Borrower hereunder, each U.S. Lender and each of their respective successors and assigns, shall provide the U.S. Borrower (with copies to the U.S. Agent), with (x) properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Forms W8ECI or W8BEN-E or Form W-9, as appropriate, or any successor Forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts such Lender from United States withholding tax or certifying that the income receivable by it pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or certifying that such Lender is a U.S. Person as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or (y) solely if such Lender is claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W8BEN-E, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and a certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a ten percent (10%) shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the U.S. Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the U.S. Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code).

If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to United States withholding Tax imposed by FATCA and if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by 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 Agent as may be necessary for the Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 7.9(a), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Agent shall not be responsible for any Lender’s failure to be in compliance with its obligations under FATCA and Agent shall not be responsible to undertake any such Lender’s obligations.

(b)

For any period with respect to which a U.S. Lender has failed to provide the U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Agent with the appropriate form referred to in Section 7.9(a) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring after the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.6 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Lender, that is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

7.10

Change in Law; Lending Office

If a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section as a result of a change in law or treaty occurring after such Lender first became a party to this Agreement, then such Lender will, at the Borrower’s request, change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if, in the judgment of such Lender, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

7.11

Compensation for Losses

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term CORRA Loan or Daily Compounded CORRA Loan, as applicable, prior to the last day of an Interest Period (including as a result of an Event of Default or with respect to a Rate Flip), (b) the conversion of any Term CORRA Loan or Daily Compounded CORRA Loan, as applicable, other than on the last day of the Interest Period (including with respect to a Rate Flip), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Term CORRA Loan or Daily Compounded CORRA Loan, as applicable, other than on the last day of the Interest Period as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 7.10, then, in any such event, the Canadian Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by any such event (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 7.11 delivered to the Canadian Borrower shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. The Canadian Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt of such demand. For the avoidance of doubt, no such payment shall be owing as a result of a Rate Flip or Secondary Rate Flip.

7.12

Temporary Market Disruption Respecting SOFR and CORRA

Subject to Sections 4.12 and 7.1, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan or CORRA Loan: (a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” or “Adjusted Term CORRA” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or (b) Lenders holding 25% of the Commitments of all Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a CORRA Loan, or a Conversion thereto or a Rollover thereof, that Adjusted Term SOFR or Adjusted Term CORRA, as applicable, for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan or CORRA Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and such Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans and/or CORRA Loans, and any right of the Borrowers to continue SOFR Loans or CORRA Loans, or to convert U.S. Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans or to convert Prime Rate Loans to CORRA Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or CORRA Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of Lenders holding 25% of the Commitments of all Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Drawdown of, Conversion to or Rollover of SOFR Loans or CORRA Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or CORRA Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Drawdown of or Conversion to U.S. Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans, as the context requires, in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans and/or CORRA Loans, as applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into U.S. Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans, as the context requires, at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such Conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Article 7. Subject to Sections 4.12 and 7.1, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” or “Adjusted Term CORRA” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on U.S. Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “U.S. Base Rate” or clause (b) of the definition of “Prime Rate”, until the Agent revokes such determination.

which any Agent or Lender sustains or incurs (including, without limitation, any loss of profit or expenses any Lender incurs by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to maintain Borrowings or any interest or other charges payable by such Lender to other lenders of funds borrowed in order to make, to fund or to maintain the Loans or to maintain any amount in default) as a consequence of (I) any prepayment (it being understood that the mandatory repayments to be made pursuant to Section 3.1 do not constitute prepayments), (II) any acceleration of the payment of Borrowings pursuant to Section 9.1 or 16.8 or (III) any default by a Borrower under any of the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, a failure to borrow on a Drawdown Date ~~or to issue Bankers’ Acceptances on an Acceptance Date~~, a failure to pay interest on, or principal amounts of, the Loans on the dates due, the failure to make a payment on the specified date or the failure to make a payment in accordance with this Agreement or any misrepresentation by a Borrower contained in or delivered in writing in connection with this Agreement; and

(iii)

incurred by the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in connection with any and all actions, proceedings, costs, damages, expenses, taxes (other than taxes on overall net income, assets or capital), claims and demands by reason of or arising in any way whatsoever in connection with the opening, establishing or paying of the amounts payable under Letters of Credit issued at the request of a Borrower or arising in connection with any amounts payable by any Issuing Bank or any Lender thereunder;

provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

The certificate of an officer or manager of any Agent or any such Lender setting forth the amount of any such losses, damages, expenses and liabilities shall constitute, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of any such amount and any Agent shall debit, from any Borrower’s accounts, the amount stipulated in the certificate in accordance with Section 10.8. The affected Agent or Lender shall also provide to the affected Borrower a statement setting out the basis for the calculation of such amount.

Environmental Indemnity

(a)

Subject to the limitations in this Section 11.3, the Borrowers agree to and do hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses of any and every nature and kind whatsoever which at any time or from time to time may be paid by or incurred by them (without duplication and net of Tax Recoveries by any of the Indemnified Parties) for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of the disposal, refining, generation, manufacture, production, storage, handling, presence, treatment, transfer, release, processing or transportation of any Hazardous Material in, on or under any property of whatsoever nature or kind of a Borrower, or any Subsidiary thereof, or the discharge, emission, spill or disposal from such property into or upon any land, the atmosphere or any watercourse, body of water or wetland of any Hazardous Material where it has been proven that the source of the Hazardous Material is the said property to the extent that such losses, damages, costs and expenses arise out of the relationship between the Indemnified Parties and a Borrower reflected herein including, without limitation:

(i)

the cost of defending and/or counterclaiming or claiming over against third parties in respect of any action or matter referred to above;

(ii)

any cost, liability or damage arising out of any settlement of any action referred to above to which any Indemnified Party is a party; and

(iii)

costs of any cleanup in connection with any matter referred to above.

(b)

In the event that any claim, action, order, suit or proceeding, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any inquiry or investigation (whether formal or informal) is brought or instituted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall promptly retain counsel who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties to represent the Indemnified Parties in such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding and the Borrowers shall pay all of the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel relating to such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding.

(c)

In any such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding, the Indemnified Parties shall have the rights to retain other counsel to act on their behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such other counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Parties unless: (i) the Borrowers and the Indemnified Parties shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such other counsel; or (ii) the named parties to any such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding (including any added, third or impleaded parties) include the Borrowers and the Indemnified Parties and representation of all such parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defences).

(d)

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.3, none of the Indemnified Parties shall agree to any settlement of any such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding unless the Borrowers shall have consented in writing thereto, and the Borrowers shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding unless they have consented in writing thereto. The Borrowers shall be entitled to settle any such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding on any terms it deems appropriate.

(e)

The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the Revolving Facilities Maturity Date, and the repayment of all Borrowings hereunder and the satisfaction by the Borrowers of all other obligations hereunder.

13.6

13.7

Rights of an Agent as Lender

With respect to its Commitment and its Participation, and ~~to Bankers’ Acceptances and~~ Letters of Credit, an Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement ~~and any Bankers’ Acceptances~~ as any other Lender, and it may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it as an Agent hereunder, and the term “Lender” or any other similar term shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include any Agent in its capacity as a Lender.

13.8

Authorized Waivers, Variations and Omissions

If so authorized in writing by the Majority Lenders, the Canadian Agent may grant waivers, consents, vary the terms of this Agreement and do or omit to do all acts and things in connection herewith or therewith.

authorize any increase in the Commitment of a Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligations hereunder (without the written consent of such Lender);

require any Lender to fund its Participation with respect to an acquisition of an Acquisition Entity by way of a hostile takeover which may otherwise be agreed to by the Majority Lenders.

13.9

Financial Information Concerning the Borrowers or Guarantors

Subject to Section 13.3(a), no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility either initially or on a continuing basis to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect to the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers or Guarantors.

13.10

Knowledge of Financial Situation of Borrowers

Each of the Lenders represents and warrants to the Agents that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers and each Guarantor in connection with the making and continuation of its Participation in this Agreement and that it has not relied on any information provided to it by any Agent in connection herewith or therewith, and each represents and warrants to the Agents that it shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the Guarantors from time to time.

13.11

No Agent shall be obligated to take any legal proceedings against a Borrower or any other Person for the recovery of any amount due under this Agreement, or the Loan Documents ~~or under any Bankers’ Acceptances~~. No Lender shall bring legal proceedings against a Borrower, any Guarantor or Subsidiary hereunder or in connection herewith, or exercise any right arising hereunder or in connection herewith over the property and assets of a Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary, without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders.

13.12

Capacity as Agent

In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, each Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Lenders and shall not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligation as agent or trustee for a Borrower or any other Person. No Agent shall be under any liability or responsibility of any kind to the Borrowers, the Lenders or to any other Person arising out of or in relation to any failure or delay in performance or breach by any Lender or Lenders or, as the case may be, by the Borrowers, any Guarantor or any other Person (other than such Agent in respect of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct) pursuant to or in any way in connection with this Agreement or in connection with any other Loan Document.

13.13

Deposits or Loans Respecting the Borrowers

13.14

Separate Collateral Agent

It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If an Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, such Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If an Agent so appoints a security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to the Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. The Lenders, Agents and Issuing Banks shall execute and deliver such documents as the Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Agent until appointment of a new agent.

13.15

Agent Titles

Each Lender, other than The Toronto-Dominion Bank and Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by The Toronto-Dominion Bank as an “Agent” or “Arranger” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

13.16

Erroneous Payments.

(a)

If the Administration Agent notifies a Lender or Issuing Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of such Lender or Issuing Bank (any such Lender or Issuing Bank or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administration Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administration Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administration Agent and shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administration Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administration Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administration Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administration Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administration Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)

Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of such Lender or Issuing Bank, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administration Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administration Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administration Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Bank, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)

(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administration Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)

such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administration Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administration Agent pursuant to this Section 13.16(b).

(c)

Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administration Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document against any amount due to the Administration Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)

In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administration Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administration Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administration Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administration Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administration Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver a Transfer Certificate (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating a Transfer Certificate by reference pursuant to an electronic platform as to which the Administration Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver any notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Administration Agent, (ii) the Administration Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administration Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank and (iv) the Administration Agent may reflect in the register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administration Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administration Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Bank and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administration Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administration Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administration Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e)

The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Guarantor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administration Agent from the Borrowers or any other Guarantor for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administration Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 13.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administration Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

and upon such terms and conditions as such Lender shall determine, all or any portion of its rights, benefits and/or obligations hereunder in relation to a portion of such Lender’s Commitment of not less than, with respect to the Canadian Facilities, U.S.$2,500,000 and with respect to the U.S. Facilities, U.S.$2,500,000, to an assignee or a transferee which in the case of assignments by a Canadian Lender is hereinafter referenced to as a “Canadian Assignee” and in the case of assignments by a U.S. Lender, is a Person which can comply with the provisions of Section 7.9(a) of this Agreement and provides evidence thereof satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower acting reasonably and is in the business of making loans (a “U.S. Assignee”); provided that in the case of an assignment or transfer by a Canadian Lender or all or any portion of its Canadian Revolving Facility Commitment or its Canadian Swingline Commitment there is a corresponding assignment of transfer by the related U.S. Lender (which may, in certain circumstances, be the same institution) to a U.S. Assignee related to the Canadian Assignee (which may, in certain circumstances, be the same institution) of an amount which bears the same proportion to the related U.S. Lender’s Commitment as the amount assigned or transferred by the Canadian Lender bears to the Canadian Lender’s Commitment, and vice versa in the case of an assignment or transfer by a U.S. Lender.

(b)

Where obligations of any Lender are so assigned or transferred, the assignee or transferee shall confirm in writing to the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lenders and the Canadian Agent and the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, prior to such assignment or transfer taking effect, that it shall be bound towards the Borrowers and the Agents by the terms hereof relating to such obligations. On the assignment and transfer being made and such written confirmation, as aforesaid, being delivered to the Borrowers and such Agent and Issuing Bank and Swingline Lenders, such Lender shall be relieved of its obligations to the extent of such assignment or transfer thereof and such assignee or transferee shall become a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and the related documents and transactions provided herein or contemplated thereby to the extent of such assigned or transferred interest on the earlier of (i) fifth (5^th) Business Day following receipt by the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lenders and the Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as applicable, of the confirmation of assignment and (ii) the date agreed to by such recipients.

(c)

In connection with any assignment by a Defaulting Lender, such assignment shall be effective only upon payment by the assignee (permitted above) or Defaulting Lender to the Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other compensating actions as the Agent deems appropriate), (a) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (b) to acquire its Participation of all Loans and Letter of Credit obligations. If an assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective under Applicable Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs.

(d)

If a Lender (a) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Majority Lenders consented, or (b) is a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Agent or Canadian Borrower may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more eligible assignees, identified in Section 14.3, pursuant to appropriate documentation, within 20 days after the notice. The Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such documentation if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents at par, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).

100

14.4

Transfer Certificate

If any Lender wishes to assign or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 14.3, then such assignment or transfer shall be effected by the delivery by such Lender to the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lenders and the Borrowers of a duly completed and executed Transfer Certificate whereupon, to the extent that in such Transfer Certificate the Lenders party thereto seeks to assign or transfer its rights and obligations hereunder:

(a)

the applicable Borrower(s) and such Lender shall each be released from further obligations to the other hereunder, and their respective rights against each other shall be cancelled (such rights and obligations being referred to in this Section 14.4 as “discharged rights and obligations”);

(b)

the applicable Borrower(s) and the Transferee party thereto shall each assume obligations towards and acquire rights in respect of each other which differ from the discharged rights and obligations only insofar as the obligations so assumed and the rights so acquired by the Borrowers are owed to and constituted by claims against such Transferee and not such Lender, so that the Borrowers and the Transferee shall have the same rights and obligations towards each other which they would have acquired had the Transferee been an original party hereto;

(c)

the Agents, the Transferee and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the Transferee been an original party hereto with the obligations assumed and the rights acquired by it as a result of such assignment or transfer.

(d)

the amounts payable by any Borrower under this Agreement shall not increase, in respect of withholding on account of taxes, as a result of any such assignment or transfer.

14.5

Notice

The Canadian Agent or the U.S. Agent, as the case may be, shall notify promptly the appropriate parties hereto of the receipt by it of any Transfer Certificate, and shall promptly deliver a copy of such Transfer Certificate to the Borrowers.

14.6

Sub-Participations

Any Lender may, at its own cost, grant one or more sub-participations in all or any portion of its rights, benefits and/or obligations hereunder to third parties, without the consent of the Borrowers, and upon such terms and conditions as such Lender shall determine, provided that, notwithstanding any such sub-participation, such Lender shall remain, in so far as the other parties hereto are concerned, entitled to its rights and benefits hereunder and bound by its obligations hereunder and the Borrowers, the other Lenders and the Agents shall not be obliged to recognize any such third party as having the rights against any of them which it would have if it had been a party hereto, and provided further that in the case of any sub participation by a Canadian Lender to a Canadian participant (a “Canadian Participant”), there shall be a corresponding sub participation by the related U.S. Lender (which may in certain circumstances be the same institution) to a U.S. participant (a “U.S. Participant”) related to the Canadian Participant of an amount which has the same proportion to the related U.S. Lender’s Commitment as the amount sub participated by the Canadian Lender has to the Canadian Lender’s Commitment, and vice versa in the case of sub participation by a U.S. Lender. For greater certainty, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay, in respect of any rights, benefits and/or obligations in which a Lender has granted one or more such sub-participations, to such Lender or to any sub-participant thereof any amount(s) pursuant to Article 7 of this Agreement which is (are) greater than the amount(s), if any, which the Borrowers would otherwise have been obligated to pay in respect of such rights, benefits and/or obligations to such Lender, had such sub-participation(s) not been granted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no participation may be made to a Borrower, any Affiliate of a Borrower, natural persons (or holding companies, investment vehicles, or trusts for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, natural persons), or Defaulting Lenders.

101

Each Lender who has granted a participation to a Participant shall not be required to obtain the consent of such Participant to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Revolving Facilities Maturity Date, or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor or substantial portion of the Collateral.

14.7

Disclosure

Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrowers and each Guarantor to disclose to any proposed assignee, Transferee or sub-participant information in such Lender’s possession relating to the Borrowers and each Guarantor provided that such proposed assignee, transferee or sub-participant shall have executed and delivered to such Lender a written undertaking to keep confidential any such information which is not publicly available.

14.8

Assignment to Federal Reserve Bank

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, without seeking or obtaining the consent of any party, any U.S. Lender may at any time assign and transfer all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any promissory notes issued to such U.S. Lender hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in the United States. No such assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder.

Each Borrower and Guarantor shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b)

If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Borrower and Guarantor or any authorized signatories of the Borrowers and Guarantors for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(iii)

the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

16.12

Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Interest Rate Hedge or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b)

As used in this Section 16.12, the following terms have the following meanings:

107

EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE GUARANTORS AND THE AGENTS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE GUARANTORS AND THE AGENTS AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION 16.13 AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

As of the Effective Date, all references to the “Credit Agreement” (or words of similar meaning) contained in the Loan Documents delivered in connection with the First ARCA (as amended) shall, and shall be deemed to, refer to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the First ARCA (as amended) by this Agreement, the Obligations of the Original Credit Parties and the additional Guarantors outstanding under the First ARCA (as amended) as of the Effective Date shall remain outstanding and shall constitute continuing Obligations and shall continue as such under this Agreement and shall not be deemed to evidence or result in a novation or repayment and re-borrowing of such Obligations.
