GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CREDITS

​

​

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrowers may obtain credit from the Lenders under the Credit Facility through the Branch of Account by way of one or more Base Rate Loans and LIBORSOFR Loans. Any extension of credit hereunder by way of Base Rate Loans or LIBORSOFR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.

​

​

Each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of each Loan under the Credit Facility prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of the extension of credit. The Administrative Agent shall, upon fulfilment by Borrowers of the terms and conditions set forth in Article 12 and unless otherwise irrevocably authorized and directed in the Drawdown Notice, make such funds available to the applicable Borrower as designated in such Drawdown Notice on the date of the extension of credit by crediting the applicable Designated Account (or causing such account to be credited). Unless the Administrative Agent has been notified by a Lender at least one Banking Day prior to the date of the extension of credit that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion of the Loan available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the extension of credit in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent has made such assumption, to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the Loan available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith together with interest thereon at the then prevailing interbank rate for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding such obligation, if such Lender fails so to pay, Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any rights that Borrowers might have against such Lender, repay such amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith promptly after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent. The amount payable by each Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Lender and the Borrower Representative (which certificate shall contain reasonable details of how the amount payable is calculated) and shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amount payable. If such Lender makes the payment to the Administrative Agent required herein, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan for purposes of this Agreement and shall entitle the Lender to all rights and remedies against Borrowers in respect of such Loan.

​

​

If any Defaulting Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loan under the Credit Facility as required and the Administrative Agent has not funded pursuant to Section 0, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such failure

​

​

​

- 45 -

by the Defaulting Lender to the Borrower Representative and the other Lenders and such notice shall state that any Lender may make available to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Loan (but in no way shall any other Lender or the Administrative Agent be obliged to do so) in the place and stead of the Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender gives notice that it is prepared to make funds available in the place and stead of a Defaulting Lender in such circumstances and the aggregate of the funds which such Lenders (herein collectively called the “Contributing Lenders” and individually called the “Contributing Lender”) are prepared to make available exceeds the amount of the advance which the Defaulting Lender failed to make, then each Contributing Lender shall be deemed to have given notice that it is prepared to make available its pro rata share of such advance based on the Contributing Lenders’ relative commitments to advance in such circumstances. If any Contributing Lender makes funds available in the place and stead of a Defaulting Lender in such circumstances, then the Defaulting Lender shall pay to any Contributing Lender making the funds available in its place and stead, forthwith on demand, any amount advanced on its behalf together with interest thereon at the then prevailing interbank rate for each day from the date of advance to the date of payment, against payment by the Contributing Lender making the funds available of all interest received in respect of the Loan from Borrowers. In addition to interest as aforesaid, Borrowers shall pay all amounts owing by Borrowers to the Defaulting Lender hereunder (with respect to the amounts advanced by the Contributing Lenders on behalf of the Defaulting Lender) to the Contributing Lenders until such time as the Defaulting Lender pays to the Administrative Agent for the Contributing Lenders all amounts advanced by the Contributing Lenders on behalf of the Defaulting Lender;

​

​

No LIBORSOFR Loan under the Credit Facility may have a maturity date later than the Maturity Date.

​

​

Subject to Section 3.6, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

​

​

If (b) the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR forin connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period, or (c) the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of fundingmaking and maintaining such Loan, and the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

​

then, in each case, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Representative and each Lender. Thereafter,

Any amounts paid by the Administrative Agent as aforesaid shall be reimbursed by the Lenders in their Pro Rata Shares and shall be repaid by Borrowers to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on demand.

​

ARTICLE 13

the Administrative Agent (with the approval and instructions of the Majority Lenders) may, by notice to the Borrower Representative, terminate the Credit Facility (provided, however, that the Credit Facility shall automatically terminate, without notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of an event described in clause 0 above) and the Administrative Agent (with the approval and instructions of the Majority Lenders) may, by the same or further notice to the Borrower Representative, declare all indebtedness of Borrowers to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement to be immediately due and payable whereupon all such indebtedness shall immediately become and be due and payable without further demand or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrowers (provided, however, that all such indebtedness of Borrowers to the Lenders shall automatically become due and payable, without notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of an event described in clause 0 above).

​

​

Each Borrower expressly agrees that the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by applicable Requirements of Law. Any single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any term, covenant or condition in this Agreement does not waive, alter, affect or prejudice any other right or remedy to which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may be lawfully entitled for the same default or breach. Any waiver by the Administrative Agent with the approval of the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders in accordance with Section 0 of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement is not a waiver of any subsequent default and any indulgence by the Lenders with respect to any failure to strictly observe, perform or comply with any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement is not a waiver of the entire term, covenant or condition or any subsequent default. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

​

​

​

- 95 -

​

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Requirements of Law, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is authorized, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without notice to any Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived by such Borrower, to set-off, appropriate and apply any and all deposits, matured or unmatured, general or special, and any other indebtedness at any time held by or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, to or for the credit of or the account of any Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Borrower which are due and payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, under the Credit Documents.

ARTICLE 14

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

​

​

​

​

​

​

The Administrative Agent may treat each Lender set forth in 0 hereto or the Person designated in the last notice delivered to it under Section 0 as the holder of all of the interests of such Lender under the Credit Documents.

​

​

The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it as counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice and opinion of such counsel.

​

​

​

- 96 -

​

The Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to the Lenders to examine, enquire into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of the Credit Documents or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant to or in connection with the Credit Documents and the Administrative Agent shall, as regards the Lenders, be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties and are what they purport to be.

​

​

With respect to those portions of the Credit Facility made available by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers and their Affiliates and Persons doing business with any Borrower and/or any of its Affiliates as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any obligation to account to the Lenders therefor.

​

​

The duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent to the Lenders under the Credit Documents are only those expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to the Lenders to investigate whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred. The Administrative Agent shall, as regards the Lenders, be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge or has been notified by Borrowers of such fact or has been notified by a Lender that such Lender considers that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such notification to specify in detail the nature thereof.

​

​

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it on behalf of the Lenders by and under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any rights under Section 0 or under the Guarantee or expressed to be on behalf of or with the approval of the Majority Lenders without the request, consent or instructions of the Majority Lenders. Furthermore, any rights of the Administrative Agent expressed to be on behalf of or with the approval of the Majority Lenders shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent upon the request or instructions of the Majority Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability to the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Credit Documents with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the circumstances, except for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting under any of the Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all Lenders. In respect of any notice by or action taken by the Administrative Agent hereunder,

​

​

​

- 97 -

Borrowers shall at no time be obliged to enquire as to the right or authority of the Administrative Agent to so notify or act.

​

​

In the event that the Administrative Agent shall acquire actual knowledge or shall have been notified of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and shall take such action and assert such rights under Section 0 of this Agreement and under the other Credit Documents as the Majority Lenders shall request in writing and the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of its acting pursuant to any such request. If the Majority Lenders shall fail for five (5) Banking Days after receipt of the notice of any Default or Event of Default to request the Administrative Agent to take such action or to assert such rights under any of the Credit Documents in respect of such Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, and subject to subsequent specific instructions from the Majority Lenders, take such action or assert such rights (other than rights under Section 0 of this Agreement or under the other Credit Documents and other than giving an express waiver of any Default or any Event of Default) as it deems in its discretion to be advisable for the protection of the Lenders except that, if the Majority Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent not to take such action or assert such rights, in no event shall the Administrative Agent act contrary to such instructions unless required by law to do so.

​

​

The Administrative Agent shall be under no liability or responsibility whatsoever as agent hereunder:

​

​

​

​

​

To the extent that Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 8.5(a), 8.5(b) or 15.17 to be paid by it, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the applicable party such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related

​

​

​

- 98 -

expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any affiliate, successor and assign, shareholder, officer, director, partner, advisor, controlling person, employee or agent of the Administrative Agent acting for the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

​

​

Each Lender represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that:

​

​

​

​

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior written consent of Borrowers (which consent shall not be required for so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), resign at any time by giving 30 days written notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders, with the prior written consent of Borrowers (which consent shall not be required (x) if the successor Administrative Agent is an Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Administrative Agent on the date hereof or (y) for so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall be one of the Lenders unless none of the Lenders wishes to accept such appointment. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment by the time of such resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the prior written consent of Borrowers (which consent shall not be required for so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in Canada or in the United States or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in Canada or in the United States. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not in its capacity as a Lender) and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not in its capacity as a Lender). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, provisions of this 0 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

​

​

​

- 99 -

​

The Administrative Agent shall have the right to delegate any of its duties or obligations hereunder as Administrative Agent to any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent so long as the Administrative Agent shall not thereby be relieved of such duties or obligations.

- 100 -

​

​

​

Any determination to be made by the Administrative Agent on behalf of or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders under this Agreement shall be made by the Administrative Agent in good faith and, if so made, shall be binding on all parties, absent manifest error.

the Credit Documents in excess of its pro rata share of payments on account of monies owing by Borrowers to all the Credit Parties thereunder.

​

​

​

If a Lender shall receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due to it hereunder which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due in respect of the Credit Facility (having regard to the respective Individual Commitments of the Lenders), the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase a participation (which shall be deemed to have been done simultaneously with receipt of such payment) in that portion of the aggregate outstanding credit of the other Lender or Lenders so that the respective receipts shall be pro rata to their respective participation in the credits; provided, however, that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender shall be recovered from Borrowers, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price paid for such participation shall be returned by such selling Lender or Lenders to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

​

​

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice or other document that is delivered to the Administrative Agent hereunder on behalf of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of such notice or other document to each of the Lenders.

​

​

Any and all payments received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Guarantee prior to the repayment in full of all credit outstanding under the Credit Facility and the termination of the Individual Commitments of the Lenders hereunder, at any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be applied and distributed, as follows:

​

​

- 102 -

Hedge Bank shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article 14 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

​

​

The provisions of this Article (and all other provisions of this Agreement which are necessary to give effect to each of the provisions of this Article) shall survive the permanent repayment in full of all credit outstanding under the Credit Facility and the termination of the Individual Commitments of the Lenders hereunder until such time as all of the Obligations of Borrowers have been repaid in full and all of the Individual Commitments of the Credit Parties have been terminated.

​

​

No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 14.19 or the Guarantee by virtue of the provisions hereof or any other Credit Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Cash Management Services provided by any Cash Management Bank and Hedging Agreements entered into with any Hedge Bank unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.
