“Note Payment” means the amount of cash paid by Canadian OpCo to Company upon
the Maturity Date, which shall be a minimum amount of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) and may, at the sole option of Canadian OpCo, be up to a maximum
amount equal to the Principal Amount.

 

“Senior Event of Default” means any default in the performance of any term,
covenant or condition contained in the agreement or instrument under which any
Senior Indebtedness is issued, or any other default thereunder, in each case
permitting the Senior Lender to accelerate or demand repayment of, or to put or
cause the redemption or prepayment of, such Senior Indebtedness.

 

“Senior Indebtedness” means any indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations
of Canadian OpCo to any Person (each a “Senior Lender”) with respect to any
working capital, revolving credit or other line of credit facility, any term
loan facility, or any other extension of credit by a bank, insurance company or

acceptances, obligations in respect of interest rate protection agreements and
other derivative products and in respect of currency exchange and purchase
agreements, and renewals, extensions, refinancings, deferrals, amendments and
modifications of the items described above.  The terms “indebtedness,”
“liabilities” and “obligations” are used in this definition in their most
comprehensive sense and include any and all advances, debts, obligations and
liabilities, now existing or hereafter arising, whether voluntary or involuntary
and whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,
determined or undetermined.  Notwithstanding the foregoing the Year 1 Note and
the other Future Payment Notes shall not be “Senior Indebtedness” for purposes

OpCo prepays this Note pursuant to Section 3(c), or (iii) at the option of
Company, upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event (such earlier date, the
“Maturity Date”).  For the avoidance of doubt, Canadian OpCo acknowledges that
the entire unpaid Principal Amount shall be fully due and payable on the

Senior Lender(s) permit it to make such payment.

(i)            Any indebtedness under this Note is not paid when and as the same

restricting of payments hereunder by any Senior Lender), and any such amount
shall remain unpaid for a period of thirty (30) days following delivery of
notice thereof by Company;

Event of Default hereunder.

 

(b)           Consequences of Events of Default.  If any Event of Default shall

this Note shall be and become immediately due and payable, and Canadian OpCo

in any effort to collect indebtedness under this Note, including attorneys’

Note of like date, tenor and denomination and deliver the same in exchange and
substitution for and upon surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Note, or
