Upon the delivery of a written notice pursuant to either Section 1.5(b) or 1.5(c), the Covenantor and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall meet to consider the impact of such change in Old GAAP or such change in accounting policy (in each case, an “Accounting Change”), as the case may be, on the rights of, or protections afforded to, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or on the position of the Covenantor or the Borrower or of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall in good faith negotiate to execute and deliver an amendment or amendments to this Agreement in order to preserve and protect the intended rights of, or protections afforded to, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the date hereof or the position of the Covenantor or the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (as the case may be); provided that, until this Agreement has been amended in accordance with the foregoing, then for all purposes hereof, the Accounting Change shall be disregarded hereunder and any amount required to be determined hereunder shall, nevertheless, continue to be determined under Old GAAP and the Covenantor or the Borrower’s prior accounting policy, as applicable. For the purposes of this Section 1.5, the Covenantor and the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent acknowledge that the amendment or amendments to this Agreement are to provide substantially the same rights and protection to the Covenantor, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as is intended by this Agreement on the date hereof. If the Covenantor and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Majority Lenders do not mutually agree on such amendment or amendments to this Agreement within sixty (60) days (or such longer period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably) following the date of delivery of such written notice, the Covenantor or the Borrower shall continue to either provide financial statements in accordance with Old GAAP or such financial information as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Majority Lenders may reasonably require in order for any amount required to be determined hereunder to be determined in accordance with Old GAAP and the Covenantor or the Borrower’s prior accounting policy and, for all purposes hereof, the applicable changes from Old GAAP or in accounting policy (as the case may be) shall be disregarded hereunder and any amount required to be determined hereunder shall, nevertheless, continue to be determined under Old GAAP and the Covenantor or the Borrower’s prior accounting policy, as applicable.

If a Compliance Certificate is delivered in respect of a Financial Quarter or Financial Year in which an Accounting Change is implemented without giving effect to any revised method of calculating the Financial Covenant, and subsequently, as provided above, the method of calculating the Financial Covenant is revised in response to such Accounting Change, or the amounts to be determined pursuant to the Financial Covenant are to be determined without giving effect to such Accounting Change, the Covenantor shall deliver a revised Compliance Certificate. Any Event of Default arising as a result of the Accounting Change and which is cured by this Section 1.5(e) shall be deemed to be of no effect ab initio.

Availability

Each Lender under the Credit Facility, severally agrees, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make available to the Borrower its rateable portion of Advances under the Credit Facility up to the amount of its Lender’s Commitment.

Advances shall be made available pursuant to Article 3 under the Credit Facility.

The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender prompt notice of any:

Advance Notice received from the Borrower and of each applicable Lender’s rateable portion of any Advance; and

other applicable notices received by it from the Borrower or the Covenantor under the Agreement.

Commitment Limits

The Advances Outstanding:

from all Lenders under the Credit Facility shall not at any time exceed the Commitment of the Lenders under the Credit Facility; and

from each Lender under the Credit Facility shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Commitment under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility is a non-revolving facility. Any repayment of any Advances shall result in a permanent reduction of the Credit Facility to the extent of such repayment. The Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced pro rata in the same proportion that the amount of the reduction of the Credit Facility bears to the amount of the Credit Facility in effect immediately prior to such reduction and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Advances in respect of and to the extent of any such repayment.

Mandatory Repayments and Reductions of Commitments

Optional Prepayments

Extension of Facility

The Borrower may, from time to time, request an extension from each Lender (including any then Non-Extending Lender) (each, a “Requested Lender”) of the then current Maturity Date of each such Requested Lender (each, a “Current Maturity Date” and the requested Maturity Date being the “New Maturity Date”) by sending to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Branch of Account a Request for Extension and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Requested Lenders of such request. Any such request must provide that the New Maturity Date of all Requested Lenders be the same and that the New Maturity Date not exceed 6 months (or such longer term as may be acceptable to all of the Extending Lenders) from the Extension Date. Each Requested Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent as to whether it agrees with such request within thirty (30) days of being so notified, provided that, in the event such Requested Lender does not so advise the Administrative Agent within such thirty (30) day period, such Requested Lender shall be deemed to have advised the Administrative Agent that it does not agree with such request, and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days of the Administrative Agent having received from all Requested Lenders their decision or deemed decision with regard to the Request for Extension) advise the Borrower of the Requested Lenders that have agreed to extend the Current Maturity Date (such date being the “Extension Date”).

Subject to Section 2.6(c), if a Requested Lender does not agree to extend the Current Maturity Date applicable to it (such Lender being a “Non-Extending Lender” and any Requested Lender agreeing to extend the Current Maturity Date applicable to it being an “Extending Lender”) the Borrower may, but is not obligated, to:

so long as there exists no Event of Default and subject to Section 10.6(c), repay all Advances Outstanding and other amounts owing hereunder to any Non-Extending Lender under the Credit Facility at any time prior to the Current Maturity Date of such Non-Extending Lender and upon such payment any Non-Extending Lender shall cease to be a Lender and its Commitment shall be terminated and the Commitment reduced accordingly; or

arrange for a replacement lender (which may be one of the Lenders) to replace each Non-Extending Lender’s Advances Outstanding and its Lender Commitment under the Credit Facility; provided that any such replacement lender shall have been approved by the Administrative Agent (but only if it is not an existing Lender) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall be novated into the Credit Documents in the place and stead of the Non-Extending Lender by execution of all necessary documentation at any time prior to the Current Maturity Date of such Non-Extending Lender and in respect of which the Lenders shall do all things and make all such adjustments as are reasonably necessary to give effect to any such replacement.

The Current Maturity Date shall not be extended in accordance with Section 2.6(a) if Requested Lenders holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the Commitments of all Requested Lenders do not agree or are deemed not to agree to extend the Current Maturity Date pursuant to any Request for Extension. In any such case, the Current Maturity Date of each Requested Lender shall not be extended, provided, however, the Borrower shall be entitled to request further extensions of the Maturity Date as provided for in Section 2.6(a), including, for certainty, from Lenders which have previously refused or were deemed to have refused an extension.

If all Requested Lenders agree to extend the Current Maturity Date pursuant to a Request for Extension, then the Current Maturity Date shall, effective on the Extension Date, be extended to the New Maturity Date.

If, with respect to any Request for Extension in respect of the Current Maturity Date, the provisions of Section 2.6(c) or 2.6(d) are not applicable and there are Non-Extending Lenders under Section 2.6(b), then:

the Current Maturity Date for the Extending Lenders shall, effective on the Extension Date, be extended as provided for in the Request for Extension; and

for those Non-Extending Lenders, the Current Maturity Date of all such Lenders shall not be extended.

The Borrower understands that consideration of any Request for Extension constitutes an independent credit decision which each Requested Lender retains the absolute and unfettered discretion to make and that no commitment in this regard is hereby given by any Requested Lender.

The extension of the Current Maturity Date in respect of any Requested Lender is subject to the conditions precedent that:

the representations and warranties contained in Article 5 are true and correct as if they were made on the date of the request made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6(a), and each extension of the Current Maturity Date shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty that on such date such representations and warranties are true and correct except as the Borrower has previously disclosed to the Requested Lenders in writing; and

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

Payments under this Agreement

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Borrower shall make any payment required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of any other Lender by depositing the amount of the payment in the relevant currency to the Borrower’s Account not later than 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on the date the payment is due and each such payment shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or reduction of any nature or kind whatsoever (unless required by applicable Law). The Borrower shall make each such payment in U.S. Dollars.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make amounts available and other payments to the Borrower under the Credit Facility by crediting the Borrower’s Account (or causing the Borrower’s Account to be credited) with the amount of the payment in the relevant currency not later than 11:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on the date the payment is to be made.

The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender by the Borrower is not made to the Administrative Agent when due, to charge from time to time any amount due against any or all of the Borrower’s Accounts with the Administrative Agent.

If and whenever from time to time the Borrower intends to repay any Base Rate (Canada) Advance or any SOFR Loan which would otherwise become a Base Rate (Canada) Advance on the date of payment pursuant to Section 3.2(b), the Borrower shall:

in respect of such repayments where the amount repaid is equal to or less than $25,000,000, give the Administrative Agent notice of such repayment substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 7 on or before 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on the date of repayment; and

in respect of such repayment where the amount repaid is in excess of $25,000,000, give the Administrative Agent one (1) day’s prior written notice of such repayment substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 7.

Application of Repayments and Prepayments

Subject as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all repayments or prepayments received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the Advances Outstanding under the Credit Facility to each Lender under the Credit Facility in accordance with such Lender’s rateable share thereof in accordance with Section 1.7.

Repayments and prepayments applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall:

be applied to the payment of any Base Rate (Canada) Advance (including any SOFR Loan which would otherwise become a Base Rate (Canada) Advances on the date of payment pursuant to Section 3.2(b); and

the balance, if any, shall be (y) held by the Administrative Agent and applied to the repayment of SOFR Loans on the next maturity date for such SOFR Loans, or (z) at the option of the Borrower and, if applicable, upon payment of any amount contemplated by Section 10.6(c), be applied immediately to the repayment of SOFR Loans.

All amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower under the Credit Facility and not previously applied pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

first, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligations to pay any unpaid interest and any Fees which are due and owing under the Credit Facility;

second, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligations to pay any claims or losses referred to in Sections 10.6 and 10.8 under the Credit Facility;

third, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligations to pay any amounts due and owing on account of any unpaid principal amount of Advances under the Credit Facility which are due and owing;

fourth, in reduction of any other obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and

fifth, to the Borrower or such other Persons as may lawfully be entitled to or directed to receive the remainder.

Computations of Interest and Fees; Adjustments to Margins

All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable, and:

if based on the Base Rate (Canada) on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be; or

if based on Adjusted Term SOFR on the basis of a year of 360 days.

All computations of Fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such Fees are payable.

Each Applicable Margin under the Credit Facility shall, if applicable, be adjusted on the date of any change in the senior unsecured debt ratings assigned by S&P or Moody’s to CPRC’s senior unsecured debt, to equal the rate determined in accordance with Schedule 5 after giving effect to such event, and each such adjustment shall be effective for purposes of calculating the rate of interest or Fees on Advances then outstanding on the date of such event.

If at the time of a change in the Applicable Margin under the Credit Facility applicable to a SOFR Loan under the Credit Facility there exists any outstanding SOFR Loans under the Credit Facility, then:

in the case of an increase in the Applicable Margin, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the rateable benefit of the Lenders); or

in the case of a decrease in the Applicable Margin, the Lenders (rateably) shall credit the Borrower,

the product obtained by multiplying (w) the difference between the Applicable Margin in effect prior to such change and the Applicable Margin in effect immediately after such change, by (x) the unpaid principal amount of such SOFR Loan by;

the quotient obtained by dividing (y) the number of days to maturity remaining in respect of such SOFR Loan by (z) 360 days in the case of a SOFR Loan.

For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada):

whenever any interest or Fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is calculated;

the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and

the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

Designation and Redesignation of Designated Subsidiaries

a Subsidiary shall become a Designated Subsidiary (which designation may be retroactive to include the preceding Financial Quarter); or

a Designated Subsidiary shall cease to be a Designated Subsidiary (which designation may be retroactive to include the preceding Financial Quarter);

concurrently with the delivery of each such Designated Subsidiary Guarantee:

the applicable Designated Subsidiary shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such customary legal opinions and evidence of corporate existence and due authorization together with such other matters delivered in respect of the Covenantor under Section 4.1 as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require; and

the Covenantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate certifying that the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.1 with respect to such Designated Subsidiary and the Designated Subsidiary Guarantee provided by it are true and correct in all respects.

Thereafter, such More Favorable Provision may only be amended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Covenantor, and the Administrative Agent shall enter into an amendment of this Agreement to reflect the inclusion of the More Favorable Provision.

Sharing of Payments by Lenders

notify the Administrative Agent of such fact; and

purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances Outstanding under the Credit Facility and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances Outstanding under the Credit Facility and other amounts owing them, provided that:

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

the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances Outstanding under the Credit Facility to any assignee or participant; and

the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall not be construed to apply to (w) any payment made while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of obligations of the Borrower to such Lender that do not arise under or in connection with the Credit Documents, (x) any payment made in respect of an obligation that is secured by a Permitted Lien or that is otherwise entitled to priority over the Borrower’ obligations under or in connection with the Credit Documents, (y) any reduction arising from an amount owing to the Borrower upon the termination of derivatives entered into between the Borrower and such Lender, or (z) any payment to which such Lender is entitled as a result of any form of credit protection obtained by such Lender.

Reliance Upon Administrative Agent

The Administrative Agent and Defaulting Lenders

Each Defaulting Lender shall be required to provide to the Administrative Agent cash in an amount, as shall be determined from time to time by the Administrative Agent in its discretion, equal to all obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent that are owing or may become owing pursuant to this Agreement, including such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to pay its rateable share of any indemnification, reimbursement or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by the Borrower. Such cash shall be held by the Administrative Agent in one or more cash collateral accounts, which accounts shall be in the name of the Administrative Agent and shall not be required to be interest bearing. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to apply the foregoing cash in accordance with Section 8.12 to amounts owing to the Administrative Agent.

In addition to the indemnity and reimbursement obligations noted in Section 8.5, the Lenders under the Credit Facility agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder) rateably according to their respective rateable share (and in calculating a rateable share of a Lender, ignoring the Commitments of Defaulting Lenders under the Credit Facility) for any amount that a Defaulting Lender fails to pay the Administrative Agent under the Credit Facility and which is due and owing to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.12. Each Defaulting Lender agrees to indemnify each other Lender for any amounts paid by such Lender and which would otherwise be payable by the Defaulting Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to set off any Defaulting Lender’s rateable share of all payments received from the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender’s obligations to make payments and fund Advances required to be made by it under the Credit Facility and to purchase participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. To the extent permitted by Law, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold and deposit in one or more non-interest bearing cash collateral accounts in the name of the Administrative Agent all amounts (whether principal, interest, Fees or otherwise) received by the Administrative Agent and due to a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement, for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, which amounts shall be used by the Administrative Agent:

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

second, to reimburse the Lenders for amounts paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Lenders’ indemnity obligations under Section 8.12(b);

third, to repay on a pro rata basis the incremental portion of any Advances made by a Lender under the Credit Facility pursuant to Section 10.9(b) in order to fund a shortfall created by a Defaulting Lender under the Credit Facility and, upon receipt of such repayment, each such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Defaulting Lender such incremental portion of such Advances;

fourth, to cash collateralize all other obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent owing pursuant to this Agreement in such amount as shall be determined from time to time by the Administrative Agent in its discretion, including such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to pay its rateable share of any indemnification, reimbursement or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by the Borrower; and

fifth, to fund from time to time the Defaulting Lender’s rateable share of Borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Without limiting the immediately preceding Section 8.13(a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, 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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, paid, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent express written confirmation from the Administrative 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

such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.13(b).

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the immediately preceding Section 8.13(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the immediately preceding Section 8.13(a), from any Lender 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 behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances Outstanding (but not its Commitments) under the Credit Facility with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Facilities”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances Outstanding (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Facilities, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption agreement in the form of Schedule 6 with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment

The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any indebtedness and liabilities (whether matured or unmatured) of the Borrower outstanding to the Lenders and owed by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Documents, 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 Administrative Agent from (i) the Borrower or (ii) the proceeds of realization from the enforcement of one or more of the Credit Documents against or in respect of one or more of the Borrower, in each case for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

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 Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value”, “good consideration” for the Erroneous Payment or change of position by such Payment Recipient, any defense that the intent of the Administrative Agent was that such Payment Recipient retain the Erroneous Payment in all events, or any doctrine or defense similar to any of the foregoing.

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, or any assignment or transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all indebtedness and liabilities (or any portion thereof) of the Borrower outstanding to the Lenders and owed by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Documents.

For purposes of this Section 8.13, each Lender:

agrees it is executing and delivering this Agreement with respect to this Section 8.13 both on its own behalf and as agent for and on behalf of any Person receiving funds under the Credit Documents on behalf of such Lender;

represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that any Person receiving funds under the Credit Documents on behalf of such Lender is bound by the provisions of this Section 8.13; and

agrees that any matter or thing done or omitted to be done by such Lender or any Person receiving funds under the Credit Documents on behalf of such Lender which are the subject of this Section 8.13 will be binding upon such Lender and each Lender hereby indemnifies and saves the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates harmless from any and all losses, expenses, claims, demands or other liabilities of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates resulting from the failure of such Lender or such Persons to comply with their obligations under and in respect of this Section 8.13, in accordance with and subject to the limitations in this Section 8.13.

Guarantee

The Covenantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all present and future debts, liabilities and obligations, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or any of them arising pursuant to, or in respect of, the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (such obligations collectively being herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and promises to pay, on demand, any and all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) incurred by or on behalf of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in enforcing any of their respective rights under this Guarantee.

The Covenantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders from time to time on demand by the Administrative Agent from and against any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them as a result of any of the obligations of the Borrower under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Documents being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against the Borrower for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them or any other Person, the amount of such loss being limited to the amount which the Person or Persons suffering such loss would otherwise have been entitled to recover from the Borrower.

Absolute Liability

any lack of validity or enforceability of any terms of any of the Credit Documents;

any contest by the Borrower or any other Person as to the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations or the validity or enforceability of any terms of the Credit Documents;

any extension of the time or times for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations the Lenders or the Administrative Agent may grant to the Borrower or any other Person, or amendment to, restatement of, or alteration of this Guarantee or any of the Credit Documents or the Guaranteed Obligations;

the assignment of all or part of the benefits of this Guarantee; and

to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defence available to, or a discharge of, the Covenantor, the Borrower or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guarantee, other than the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

shall have no right of subrogation to the claims of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right to enforce any remedy which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; and

agrees not to file any claim in insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings in respect of any such subrogated claims.

multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for such interest is payable (or compounded) ends; and

divided by 360, 365 or 366, as the case may be.

Judgment

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other amount due to a Lender or the Administrative Agent in respect of the Covenantor’s obligations under this Guarantee in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the Covenantor, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, agrees that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is paid or satisfied.

The obligations of the Covenantor in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with its normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender or the Administrative Agent in the Original Currency, the Covenantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lender or the Administrative Agent against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lender or the Administrative Agent in the Original Currency, the Lender or the Administrative Agent agrees to remit such excess to the Covenantor.

Amendment and Waiver

Subject to subsections (b) and (c), no amendment or waiver of any provision of any of the Credit Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Covenantor, the Borrower or any other Person from such provisions, is effective unless in writing and approved by the Majority Lenders. Any amendment, waiver or consent is effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

Except as herein expressly provided, only written amendments, waivers or consents signed by all affected Lenders shall:

increase a Lender’s Commitment or subject any Lender to any additional obligation;

decrease the principal amount of any required payment, the interest rates, the Applicable Margins or the Fees as specified herein;

postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Advance Outstanding or any Fees;

amend Section 2.6 (in a manner which would obligate any Lender to extend the Maturity Date in respect of such Lender), Section 8.10, Article 9 or Sections 10.10 or 10.13 or release any Designated Subsidiary Guarantee (except to the extent provided for in Section 2.10) or, in any case, consent to any waiver having such effect;

change the number or percentage of Lenders required for the Lenders, or any of them, or the Administrative Agent to take any action;

change the definition of Majority Lenders;

change the types of Advances available from a Lender;

amend Section 2.8(c); or

amend this Section 10.1(b).

The Borrower and the Administrative Agent, acting together, shall be permitted to waive the minimum amounts specified in Section 10.10 in respect of the participation or assignment by a Lender of its interest in the Credit Facility.

Only written amendments, waivers or consents signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Majority Lenders, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents.

Any provision of any of the Credit Documents may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Covenantor, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency (as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, each acting reasonably) or (ii) effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature, and such amendment shall be deemed approved by the Lenders if the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of such change and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that the Majority Lenders object to such amendment.

Waiver

No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under any of the Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver of such right; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any of the Credit Documents preclude any other or further exercise of such right or the exercise of any other right.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties shall not merge on and shall survive the initial Advance and, notwithstanding such initial Advance or any investigation made by or on behalf of any party, shall continue in full force and effect. The closing of this transaction shall not prejudice any right of one party against any other party in respect of anything done or omitted under this Agreement or in respect of any right to damages or other remedies.

Evidence of Debt and Advance Notices

The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances under the Credit Facility shall be evidenced by the records of the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders which shall constitute prima facie evidence under the Credit Facility of such indebtedness.

Prior to the receipt of any Advance Notice, the Administrative Agent may act upon the basis of a notice by telephone (containing the same information as required to be contained in the Advance Notice) believed by it in good faith to be from an authorized person representing the Borrower. In the event of a conflict between the Administrative Agent’s record of any Advance and the Advance Notice, the Administrative Agent’s record shall prevail, absent manifest error.

Notices and Electronic Communications

Subject to the next following sentence, any notice, direction or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall, except as otherwise permitted, be in writing and given by delivering it or sending it by Email:

The Administrative Agent shall within five (5) Business Days deliver to each Lender such documents, papers, materials and other information as are furnished by the Borrower or the Covenantor to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement (including notices under Section 5.1(h), 5.1(k), 6.1(a), 6.1(b) and 6.1(g)) and, subject to Section 10.4(c), the Borrower and the Covenantor shall provide the Administrative Agent with sufficient copies of all such information for such purpose. The Administrative Agent shall make requests of the Borrower or the Covenantor pursuant to Section 6.1(g) from time to time on behalf of a Lender for such information as such Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to service of process or to notices to any Lender of Advances to be made if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes:

notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient; and

notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in Section 10.4(d)(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

Confidentiality

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed:

to it, its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and that it shall be responsible if any such Person fails to do so);

to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority and bank examiners); provided that the applicable Lender and Administrative Agent, as soon as reasonably practicable and unless prohibited by applicable Law, shall advise the Borrower of its obligation to disclose such Information in order to enable the Borrower, if it so chooses, to attempt to ensure that any such disclosure is made on a confidential basis;

to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the applicable Lender and Administrative Agent, as soon as reasonably practicable and unless prohibited by applicable Law, shall advise the Borrower of its obligation to disclose such Information in order to enable the Borrower, if it so chooses, to attempt to ensure that any such disclosure is made on a confidential basis;

to any other party hereto;

in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder;

subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.5, to:

any Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement;

any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative, credit-linked note or similar transaction relating to the Covenantor or the Borrower and its obligations; or

any credit rating agency solely in connection with a review, determination or other matter related to the credit ratings of a Lender and not, for certainty, of the Borrower or the Covenantor;

with the consent of the Borrower; or

to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by the disclosing party or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or the Covenantor.

For purposes of this Section 10.5, “Information” means all information received in connection with this Agreement from the Covenantor, the Borrower or any Designated Subsidiary related to it or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to such receipt. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.5 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent may disclose to any agency or organization that assigns standard identification numbers to loan facilities such basic information describing the facilities provided hereunder as is necessary to assign unique identifiers (and, if requested, supply a copy of this Agreement), it being understood that the Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to make available to the public only such Information as such person normally makes available in the course of its business of assigning identification numbers.

Costs, Expenses and Indemnity

The Borrower shall, whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are completed, indemnify and hold each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from, and shall pay to such Indemnified Person on demand any amounts required to compensate the Indemnified Person for, any claim, loss, cost or expense (including any reasonable legal cost) suffered by, imposed on, or asserted against, the Indemnified Person as a result of, connected with or arising out of:

the preparation, execution and delivery of, preservation of rights under, enforcement of, or refinancing, renegotiation or restructuring of, the Credit Documents and any related amendment, waiver or consent; or

a default (whether or not constituting a Default or an Event of Default) by the Borrower, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or default of the Indemnified Person as finally determined in a non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

the Borrower and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or

the named parties to any such proceeding include the Borrower and the Indemnified Person and representation of such parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.

If, with respect to any Lender:

any change in Law of general application, or any change in the interpretation or application of any Law, occurring or becoming effective after the Effective Date and the date that the Lender became a party hereto; or

compliance by the Lender with any direction, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Entity made or becoming effective after such date;

shall, on demand pay such amounts as the Lender specifies as necessary to compensate it for any such loss, reduction or expense, provided that if the Lender fails to give notice to the Borrower within three (3) months of the date on which the Lender should reasonably be expected to have been able to comply with its obligations to notify the Borrower as aforesaid, no payment of any compensation for such loss, reduction or expense shall be required to be made by the Borrower in respect of the period before the date the Lender has complied with its obligations as aforesaid except in circumstances where such loss, reduction or expense is imposed retrospectively; and

may, provided no loss has yet been suffered by the Lender or the Borrower has paid the compensating amount to the Lender, repay the Advances Outstanding to such Lender together with interest accrued thereon and unpaid Fees in relation thereto and terminate the Lender’s Commitment by notice to such Lender specifying the date of prepayment and the Borrower shall make such prepayment in accordance with such notice.

The Borrower shall pay to each Lender on demand any amounts required to compensate the Lender for any loss suffered or incurred by it as a result of:

any payment being made in respect of a SOFR Loan, other than on the last day of the Interest Period thereof;

the failure of the Borrower to give any notice in the manner and at the times required by this Agreement;

the failure of the Borrower to effect an Advance in the manner and at the time specified in any Advance Notice; or

the failure of the Borrower to make a payment or a mandatory repayment in the manner and at the time specified in this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 10.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Advances Outstanding. The Borrower acknowledges that neither its obligation to indemnify nor any actual indemnification by it of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Person in respect of such Person’s losses for the legal fees and expenses shall in any way affect the confidentiality or privilege relating to any information communicated by such Person to its counsel.

Illegality

If any Lender determines that any applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Entity has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain any Advance (or to maintain its obligation to make any Advance), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any particular rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful

Without derogation from Section 10.7(a), if any Lender determines that any applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Entity has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Branch of Account to make, maintain or fund Advances the interest in respect of which is determined by reference to any Benchmark, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Benchmark, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Interest Rate Illegality Notice”), (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue such Benchmark Loan or to convert such Benchmark Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate (Canada) Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate (Canada), the interest rate on which Base Rate (Canada) Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate (Canada) until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Interest Rate Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Benchmark Loans of such Lender to Benchmark Fallback Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Benchmark Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Benchmark Loan to such day. 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 3.3 and 10.6.

Taxes

Subject to Section 10.10, the Borrower and the Covenantor agrees to immediately pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, financial institutions duties, debits taxes or similar levies which arise from any payment made by them under any of the Credit Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Credit Documents (all such taxes, charges, duties and levies being referred to as “Taxes”) and, for greater certainty, “Taxes” shall not include (i) federal or provincial income or capital or franchise taxes, any other taxes imposed on the overall revenue, income, net income, capital or equity of a Lender under the laws of any jurisdiction or which are imposed on the Lender by a particular jurisdiction by reason of the Lender being a resident, domicile or national of, or engaged in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or other physical presence in or otherwise having some connection with such jurisdiction otherwise than by the mere receipt of payments hereunder, (ii) any withholding, branch or similar taxes imposed by reason of any Lender being a “non-resident” of Canada and who does not deal at “arm’s length” with the Borrower (both for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)), (iii) any withholding or similar taxes imposed by reason of any Lender being a “specified shareholder” (within the meaning of subsection 18(5) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) of the Borrower or by reason of a Lender not dealing at “arm’s length” for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) with a “specified shareholder” of the Borrower, or (iv) U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (collectively “Excluded Taxes”).

Subject to Section 10.10, the Borrower and the Covenantor shall jointly and severally indemnify the Lenders and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Excluded Taxes) paid by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising from or with respect to such Taxes. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, makes written demand for it. A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes submitted to the Borrower and the Covenantor or any of them by the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from the Borrower or the Covenantor to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be. If, following payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Covenantor of any Taxes, any Lender receives a refund, credit, remission, deduction or similar benefit in respect of any such amount (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Borrower or the Covenantor, as the case may be, the amount of such Tax Benefit immediately upon the receipt thereof if such Tax Benefit is received by the Lender in the form of a cash payment, or, if such Tax Benefit is in the form of a credit, remission, deduction or similar non-cash form or amount, upon the date on which the Lender utilizes the benefit thereof. Each Lender shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain each such Tax Benefit available to it, but shall not be obligated to seek or obtain or utilize any such Tax Benefit if, in the opinion of the Lender, acting reasonably, such action would subject or impose on the Lender tax or other financial obligations to which it would not have been subject but for the payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Covenantor of any Tax and the receipt or utilization of any Tax Benefit in connection with such amount. The Borrower and the Covenantor shall jointly and severally reimburse the Lenders for all costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders in obtaining any Tax Benefit as provided in this Section 10.8(b).

The provisions of this Section 10.8 shall survive the termination of the Agreement and the repayment of all Advances Outstanding.

Defaulting Lender

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

a Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether, and the Commitment and the rateable share of the Advances Outstanding of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether, all Lenders or the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.1(b)), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that (A) materially and adversely affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders, (B) increases the Commitment or extends the Maturity Date of such Defaulting Lender, or (C) relates to the matters set forth in Sections 10.1(b)(ii), (iii), (v) (insofar as it relates to Section 10.1(b)) and (vii), shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and

for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall retain and reserve its other rights and remedies respecting each Defaulting Lender.

If the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at the time that the Administrative Agent receives an Advance Notice, then each other Lender under the Credit Facility shall fund its rateable share of such affected Advance (and, in calculating such rateable share, the Administrative Agent shall ignore the Commitments of each such Defaulting Lender under the Credit Facility); provided that, for certainty, no Lender shall be obligated by this Section 10.9(b) to make or provide Advances in excess of its Commitment under the Credit Facility. If the Administrative Agent acquires actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at any time after the Administrative Agent receives, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such disclosure). Each Defaulting Lender agrees to indemnify each other Lender for any amounts paid by such Lender under this Section 10.9(b) and which would otherwise have been paid by the Defaulting Lender if its Commitment had been included in determining the rateable share of such affected Advances.

If any Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender or if the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (except in the case of a Lender that is or has a director or indirect parent company that is subject to a proceeding under any proceeding under any bankruptcy law, insolvency law, or other similar law or otherwise), then, upon becoming aware of the same, the Administrative Agent shall notify the other Lenders and (in accordance with the written direction of the Administrative Agent) such Lender (which has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender) shall purchase, and the other Lenders shall on a rateable basis sell and assign to such Lender, portions of the Advances Outstanding equal in total to such Lender’s rateable share thereof without regard to Section 10.9(a), provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from a Defaulting Lender to a Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

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

Successors and Assigns

This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Covenantor, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and after such time shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Covenantor, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Except as permitted by Section 6.2(b), neither the Covenantor nor the Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any interest in this Agreement without the prior consent of all the Lenders.

A Lender may:

grant participations in all or any part of its interest in either Credit Facility to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”); or

upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the prior written consent of the Borrower, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and in the case of the Borrower, to be deemed to have been provided within 10 Business Days if the Borrower has not responded to any request for consent within 10 Business Days of any consent being requested, assign all or any part of its interest in either Credit Facility to one or more financial institutions, except that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default a Lender may assign all or any part of its interest in either Credit Facility to one or more Persons without the prior written consent of the Borrower, (each an “Assignee”), provided, in each case, that (w) after giving effect to any partial assignment, no Lender holds an interest less than U.S. $10,000,000 in the Credit Facility, (x) such interest or part of its interest, as the case may be, is (if less than all of its interest in the Credit Facility) not less than U.S.. $10,000,000 and integral multiples of Cdn. $1,000,000 over and above such amount, (y) such Assignee becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 6, and (z) such Assignee acknowledges and agrees that payments made to such Assignee pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to Taxes, including Excluded Taxes but that, in accordance with Section 10.8, the Assignee is not entitled to indemnification under either Section 10.8 or any other provision hereof with respect to any such Excluded Taxes and agrees that it will not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any such Excluded Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent but with the payment of the aforementioned U.S. $3,500, a Lender may, at any time, assign all or any part of its Commitment under either Credit Facility to an Affiliate of the Lender or to an Approved Fund, provided that any such assignment shall be subject to part (z) of the preceding sentence and the Lender remains responsible for, and is not released from, any and all funding obligations hereunder of such Lender. A Lender granting a participation shall continue to be liable hereunder as a Lender notwithstanding any such participation and shall act on behalf of all of its Participants in all dealings with the Borrower in respect of the Credit Facility and no Participant shall be entitled to any indemnification under either Section 10.8 or any other provisions hereof with respect to any Taxes to the extent that the Lender granting such participation would not have been so entitled. No Participant shall have any voting or consent rights with respect to any matter requiring the Lenders’ consent and the Borrower shall not be responsible for any increased costs arising in any way from any participation. In the case of an assignment, the Assignee shall have the same rights and benefits and be subject to the same limitations under the Credit Documents as it would have if it was a Lender under the Credit Facility, provided that no Assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater payment, on a cumulative basis, pursuant to Sections 10.6 and 10.8 than the Lender which granted the assignment would have been entitled to receive.

The Covenantor and the Borrower (if other than the Covenantor) shall provide such certificates, acknowledgments and further assurances in respect of this Agreement and the Credit Facility as such Lender may reasonably require in connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.10.

A Lender may deliver to the Borrower an assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 6, by which an Assignee of the Lender assumes the obligations and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement under either Credit Facility, all as if the Assignee had been an original party under the Credit Facility. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a processing fee of U.S. $3,500 payable by the assigning Lender in the case of any

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall be entitled to assign, pledge or grant a security interest in all or a portion of the Borrowings advanced by it to any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank in Canada or the United States, provided that it shall be a term and condition of any such assignment, pledge or security interest that for any realization thereon which would result in a person becoming a Lender where the consents in this Section 10.10(f) would otherwise be required, that such Federal Reserve Bank or central bank shall be required (and shall so acknowledge) to obtain all such consents unless such Federal Reserve Bank or central bank is becoming the Lender.

Right of Set-off

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Lenders is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Covenantor or the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Covenantor and the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of the Covenantor and the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each the Lenders under this Section 10.11 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that the Lenders may have. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Covenantor or the Borrower, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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

any centralized banking arrangements shall take priority over the Borrower’ rights under this Section;

prior to receipt of such notice by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to reflect such set-off in the allocation of its payments to Lenders under Article 8;

after receipt of such notice by the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to rely on such notice and to allocate payments from the Borrower to the Lenders in a manner which gives effect to such set-off (notwithstanding any provisions in Article 8 to the contrary); and

the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees from any claims made against any of them by a Defaulting Lender in connection with this Section 10.11(b) all in accordance with Section 10.6 (and for such purposes a claim from a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to be a third party claim).

Advances by Lenders

The failure of any Lender to make an Advance under the Credit Facility shall not relieve any other Lender under the Credit Facility of its obligations in connection with such Advance, but no Lender is responsible for any other Lender’s failure in respect of an Advance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Advance available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in such Advance. If the Lender does not do so forthwith, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the Advance in question. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

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

Judgment Currency

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due to a Lender in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given or, if permitted by applicable Law, on the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied.

The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Lender under any of the Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, the Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify the Lender, against any loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Lender shall remit such excess to the Borrower.

Interest on Accounts

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

Each of the Covenantor and the Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in any court referred to in Section 10.15(a). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Waiver of Jury Trial

certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver; and

acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.16.

Anti-Money Laundering Legislation

Each of the Covenantor and the Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” applicable Laws, whether within Canada or elsewhere (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Covenantor, the Borrower and the Designated Subsidiaries and their directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or unitholders or other persons in control of the Covenantor, the Borrower and/or any such Designated Subsidiary, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Covenantor and the Borrower shall promptly: (i) provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assignee of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence; and (ii) if requested from time to time, notify the recipient of any such information of any changes thereto.

If, upon the written request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of the Covenantor, the Borrower or any Designated Subsidiary or any authorized signatories of the Covenantor, the Borrower or any Designated Subsidiary for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation on such Lender’s behalf, then the Administrative Agent;

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

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

No Fiduciary

Counterparts; Electronic Execution

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
