whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith
by a Canadian Borrower is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-, 365- or
366-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such
calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of
days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by
360, 365 or 366, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are
nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed
reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this
Agreement.

(g) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Borrower to make
any payment of interest or other amount payable to any holder of Obligations in
an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would
result in a receipt by that holder of Obligations of “interest” at a “criminal
rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then,
notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been
adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as
the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in
a receipt by that holder of Obligations of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such
adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent
necessary), as follows:

(i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums
and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for
purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).”

words “and binding” immediately after the word “conclusive” appearing therein

Interpolated Rate)” immediately after the reference to “reasonable means”
appearing therein.

(i) Section 2.15(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to insert a
reference to “liquidity,” immediately after the reference to “reserve,”
appearing therein.

(j) Section 2.15(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to (x) insert the
words “or liquidity” immediately after the first reference to “capital”
appearing therein and (y) insert the words “and liquidity” immediately after the
reference to “capital adequacy” appearing therein.

(k) Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to insert the phrase
“or the Canadian bank market, as applicable” immediately after the reference to
“eurocurrency market” appearing therein.

(l) Article III of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to insert the
following as a new Section 3.15 thereof:

“SECTION 3.15. Sanctions Laws and Regulations. None of the Borrowers, or to the
best of their knowledge any of their directors, officers, brokers or other
agents acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with this Agreement or
any other capital raising transaction involving any Lender, or any of its
Affiliates is a Designated Person.”

(m) Article VI of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to insert the following
as a new Section 6.08 thereof:

“SECTION 6.08. Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

(a) No Borrower shall, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans, or

joint venture partner or other person or entity (i) to fund any activities or
business of or with any Designated Person, or in any country or territory, that
at the time of such funding is the subject of any sanctions under any Sanctions
Laws and Regulations, or (ii) in any other manner that would result in a
violation of any Sanctions Laws and Regulations by any party to this Agreement.

(b) None of the funds or assets of any Borrower that are used to pay any amount
due pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions
with or relating to Designated Persons or countries which are the subject of
sanctions under any Sanctions Laws and Regulations.”

(n) Section 9.13 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to insert the
following sentence at the end thereof:

“Each Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money
Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable Canadian
anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know
your client” laws, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may be required to
obtain, verify and record information regarding such Borrower, its directors,
authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in
Control of such Borrower, and the transactions contemplated hereby.”
