 “Available Amount” means the amount of the Credit Facility as set out in Section 2.1
as reduced from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of
determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of
an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to Section 2.11.4.

 “Benchmark” means, initially, LIBOR Screen Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBOR Screen Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable
Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 2.11.1. 

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the
Lenders for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date: 
  

	 	(a)	 the sum of: (i) Term SOFR and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;



  

	 	(b)	 the sum of: (i) Daily Simple SOFR and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;



  

	 	(c)	 the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Lenders as the replacement for

screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Lenders in their reasonable discretion. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) above would be less
than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other loan documents.

alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the 



  
 - 5 - 














	 	
Lenders: (i) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such
Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable
Corresponding Tenor, and (ii) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a
derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and 


 

	 	(b)	 for purposes of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment,

(i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental
Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such
Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar denominated syndicated or bilateral credit facilities; 



provided that, in the case of clause (a) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Lenders in their reasonable discretion. 
 “Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and
frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative
or operational matters) that the Lenders decide may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Lenders in a manner substantially consistent with market
practice (or, if the Lenders decide that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Lenders determine that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other
manner of administration as the Lenders decide is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other loan documents). The Lenders agree to consult with the Borrowers on making any Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes and obtain the Borrowers consent thereto, not to be unreasonably withheld. 

  
 - 6 - 













 “Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with

date on which notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Borrowers, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from any Borrower.



 For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier
than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to
have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published
component used in the calculation thereof). 
 “Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events
with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or 


 

	 	(c)	 a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such
Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative. 



For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public
statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

Payment Date and upon termination of the Credit Facility, and in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan by any Borrower, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable by such Borrower on the date of such

fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of any period of time that is less than a calendar 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.

payable to the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Law or would result in a receipt by the Lenders 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 Law or so result in a
receipt by the Lenders of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: 



 

	 	(a)	 first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by such Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 2.4; and 



  
 - 21 - 














	 	(b)	 thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders by
such Borrower which would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). 


  

	2.4.9	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loans will bear
interest to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans. All other amounts owing under this Agreement will bear interest at an interest
rate equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 4.0% per annum. 


  

	2.5	 Evidence of Debt 



 

	2.5.1	 The Lenders will maintain accounts in which they will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder to
each Borrower and the relevant Interest Periods applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to the Lenders hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum
received by the Lenders hereunder from any Borrower or the Guarantor. 


  

	2.5.2	 The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.5.1 will be prima facie evidence
(absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein will not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay
the Loans and all other amounts payable by it in connection therewith, including interest and fees, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 


  

	2.6	 Automatic Renewal, Termination and Reduction of Credit Facility 



 

	2.6.1	 This Agreement shall automatically renew for consecutive one (1) year terms on each anniversary of the
Effective Date, unless the Lenders provide the Borrowers with at least ten (10) Business Days’ written notice prior to the relevant anniversary of their intention to terminate this Agreement. The Lenders may at any time provide written
notice to the Borrowers at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the then scheduled maturity date that this Section 2.6.1 will be terminated and cease to be of any force or effect.

and their commitment with respect to the Credit Facility upon giving the Borrowers 90 days’ prior written notice. If the Lenders so terminate the Credit Facility, each Borrower must repay all amounts owing by it hereunder (including all Loans
advanced to it and all interest and fees payable in respect thereof) on the termination date that is so elected by the Lenders. 


  

	2.6.3	 Unless previously terminated, the commitment of the Lenders with respect to the Credit Facility will terminate
on the Maturity Date and each Borrower hereby unconditionally severally promises to pay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date that the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 7.1) the then

	2.6.4	 Holdings may, upon three Business Days prior written notice to the Lenders, permanently cancel any unused
portion of the Credit Facility, without penalty. Each notice delivered by Holdings pursuant to this Section 2.6.4 will be irrevocable, will be binding on all Borrowers and will indicate any adjustments to the amounts set out in
Section 2.1.1. 


  

	2.7	 Mandatory Repayments of Excess Drawn Amounts 



If at any time any Lender determines that the Dollar Amount outstanding under the Credit Facility exceeds the Available Amount, then upon written notice from
a Lender to such effect, each Borrower will, within 24 hours, make a prepayment of the Credit Facility in an amount equal to its share of such excess, as determined by any Lender. 

 

	2.8	 Voluntary Prepayments and Cancellation 



Any Borrower may, from time to time at its option, prepay any Loan that is owing by it hereunder without premium or penalty and the Borrowers may permanently
reduce the Available Credit of the Credit Facility, provided that: 
  

	 	(a)	 any prepayment or reduction is in a minimum amount of $100,000; 



 

	 	(b)	 each Borrower pays, concurrently with any such prepayment, all interest accrued on the amount prepaid by it
together with breakage costs, if any, incurred by any Lender as a result of any such prepayment and that are payable pursuant to Section 2.9; 


  

	 	(c)	 the Lenders receive written notice of such prepayment, at least three Business Days prior to the date of such
prepayment and specifying the amount and date of such prepayment. Any such notice shall be irrevocable and the applicable Borrowers shall be bound to prepay in accordance with such notice; and 



 

	 	(d)	 in the event that the notice provided to the Lenders in accordance with (c) above is from Holdings and
indicates that the prepaid amount is to permanently prepay the Credit Facility pursuant to this Section 2.8, then the amount prepaid may not be re-borrowed thereunder (otherwise, the Borrowers will retain
the right to re-borrow amounts prepaid in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement). 


  

	2.9	 Breakage Costs 



If (a) any Borrower fails to borrow or continue any CDOR Loan or LIBOR Loan on the date specified in any Borrowing Request it delivers pursuant hereto,
or (b) any CDOR Loan or LIBOR Loan advanced to it is paid for any reason on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or voluntary or mandatory prepayment), then
that Borrower will compensate the Lenders for all loss, costs and expenses that the Lenders incur in connection with such event (including all loss, costs and expenses that the Lender incurs under its own credit facilities), as determined by the
Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that the Lenders are entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.9 will be delivered to such Borrower and will, absent manifest error, constitute prima 


  
 - 23 - 













 
facie evidence thereof. Each Borrower will pay the Lenders the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 

 

	2.10	 Alternate Rate of Interest 



If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a CDOR Borrowing or LIBOR Borrowing: 

 

	 	(a)	 the Lenders determine that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining CDOR or LIBOR for such
Interest Period; or 


  

	 	(b)	 the Lenders determine that CDOR or LIBOR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining CDOR Loans or LIBOR Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 


 then the
Lenders shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Lenders notify the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Borrowing Request that requests the
continuation of any Borrowing as an affected CDOR Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing (as applicable) shall be deemed to request conversion to a Canadian Prime Borrowing or U.S. Base Rate Borrowing (as applicable), and (ii) any Borrowing Request
that requests an affected CDOR Borrowing or LIBOR Borrowing (as applicable) shall be made as a Canadian Prime Borrowing or U.S. Base Rate Borrowing (as applicable). 
  

	2.11	 LIBOR Discontinuation 



 

	2.11.1	 Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other loan document, if
a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current
Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such
Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any loan document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other loan
document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for
all purposes hereunder and under any loan document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date on which notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the
Borrowers without any amendment to this Agreement or any other loan document, or further action or consent of the Borrowers, so long as the Lenders have not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from any
Borrower. 


  

	2.11.2	 Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement, the Lenders will have the right to make Benchmark 



  
 - 24 - 














	 	
Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other loan document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes will become effective in accordance with the definition of “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”. 

  

	2.11.3	 Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Lenders will promptly notify the Borrowers of
(a) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (b) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement,
(c) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (d) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.11.4 below and (e) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lenders pursuant to this Section, as applicable, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in their sole discretion and without consent
from any other party to this Agreement or any other loan document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section. 


  

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


  

	2.11.5	 Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a
Benchmark Unavailability Period, a Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be
deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to U.S. Base Rate Loans. 


  

	2.12	 Increased Costs; Illegality 



 

	2.12.1	 If any Change in Law shall: 



  
 - 25 - 














	 	(a)	 impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, additional capital, compulsory loan, insurance
charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any of its lenders; or 


  

	 	(b)	 impose on any Lender or any of its lenders or the London interbank market any other condition affecting any
cost or charge directly or indirectly incurred by the Lender in connection with a Loan hereunder (including the imposition on the Lender or any of its lenders of, or any change to, any Tax or other charge with respect to its or their CDOR Loans or
LIBOR Loans or participation therein, or its obligation to make CDOR Loans or LIBOR Loans); 


 and the result of any of
the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

 

	2.12.2	 If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the Lender’s rate of return with respect to the Loans made by the Lender to a level below that which the Lender would have achieved but for such Change in Law prior to the occurrence of such Change in Law, then from time to time the
Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered. 


  

	2.12.3	 A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender as specified
in Sections 2.12.1 or 2.12.2 shall be delivered to the Borrowers, and any such certificate shall include a brief description of the Change in Law and a calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender and shall, absent
manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the amount of such compensation. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 



 

	2.12.4	 Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not
constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation. 


  

	2.12.5	 In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be reasonably exercised and
shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence thereof) at any time that the making or continuance of any Type of Loan has become unlawful or materially restricted as a result of compliance by the Lender in good faith with any
Applicable Law, then, in any such event, the Lender shall give prompt notice (by telephone and confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers of such determination. Upon the giving of the notice to the Borrowers referred to in this Section 2.12.5, the
Borrowers’ right to request (by continuation or otherwise), and the Lenders’ obligation to make, Loans of that Type shall be immediately suspended and if the affected Type of Loans are




  
 - 26 - 














	 	
then outstanding, the Borrowers shall immediately, or if permitted by Applicable Law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one Business Day prior written notice to the Lenders,
convert each such affected Type of Loan into a Type of Loan that is not so affected. 

  

	2.13	 Payments Generally 



Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, amounts payable under any of Sections 2.9
or 2.12 or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim except for any deductions or withholdings for any present or
future Taxes or similar charges that the Borrower is required to make pursuant to Applicable Law. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lenders, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business
Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. The Borrowers shall make payments to the Lenders in accordance with instructions provided by the Lenders to the Borrowers. 

 

	2.14	 Addition of Borrowers 



Holdings may elect from time to time to designate another Subsidiary or a subsidiary of Holdings as a Borrower hereunder subject to delivering to the Lenders
a signed accession agreement in the form required by the Lenders and from and after the date of such designation, such Person shall for all purposes be a “Borrower” hereunder. 

 

	2.15	 Withholding Tax. 



 

	2.15.1	 Any and all payments required to be made by or on behalf of the Borrowers under this Agreement will be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes or similar charges (collectively, the “Withholdings”) unless such Withholdings are required to be made under Applicable Law.
If a Borrower is so required to deduct or withhold any Withholdings from any amount payable to any Lender: 


  

	 	(a)	 The applicable Borrower will remit the Withholdings to the appropriate taxation authority following its
deduction or withholding prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto. 


  

	 	(b)	 Within 30 days after such Withholdings have been remitted, the applicable Borrower will deliver to the Lenders
evidence satisfactory to the Lenders, acting reasonably, that the taxes or charges in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made have been remitted to the appropriate taxation authority. 



 

	2.15.2	 If a payment made to any Lender under this Agreement by any Borrower would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to such




  
 - 27 - 














	 	
Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower as may be necessary for it to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with the
Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this 2.15.2, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


  

	2.15.3	 Each Borrower will pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other taxes or arising
from any payment made by it hereunder or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

	10.5	 Currency Indemnity

Due”), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Lenders are able, on the relevant

shall indemnify and save the Lenders harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement
and the other Financing Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Lenders from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any

or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Credit Facility has not expired or been terminated other than these amounts claimed or capable of being claimed under sections of this Agreement which by
the terms of this Agreement, survive termination of this Agreement. Sections 2.9, 10.4 and 10.7 will survive and remain in full force and effect, regardless of the repayment of the Obligations or the expiration or termination of the Credit Facility
or this Agreement or any provision hereof.

supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement will become effective when it will have been executed by the Lenders and when the Lenders will have received the
counterpart hereof which, when taken together, bears the Borrowers’ and the Guarantor’s signatures, and thereafter will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of

formation, (ii) is duly authorized and qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, and

	 	(a)	 Depositee will at all times maintain its existence and preserve and keep in full force and effect its rights
and franchises material to its businesses, except where the loss or termination of such rights and franchises would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 


  

	 	(b)	 Depositee will remain qualified to do business and maintain its good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
nature of its business and the ownership of its property requires it to be so qualified and in good standing, except where noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

charge payments, if payable, will be payable without notice or demand by the Depositor, and are independent of and have no effect upon the rights of the Depositor under paragraph 1 above. 



 

	6.	 This Note will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario.



  

	7.	 The Depositee will execute and acknowledge (or cause to be executed and acknowledged) and deliver to the
Depositor all documents, and take all actions, reasonably required by the Depositor from time to time to confirm the rights created or now or hereafter intended to be created under this Note, to protect and further the validity and enforceability of
this Note, or otherwise carry out the purposes of the Note and the transactions contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that no such further actions, assurances and confirmations will increase the Depositee’s obligations under
this Note. 


  

	8.	 No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver (a “Modification”) of
any provision of this Note, nor consent to any departure by the Depositee therefrom, will in any event be effective unless the same will be in a writing signed by the Depositor, and then such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific
instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly agreed by the Depositor in writing, no Modification will entitle the Depositee to any other or future Modification, whether in the same, similar or other circumstances.
The Depositor does not hereby agree to, nor does the Depositor hereby commit itself to, enter into any Modification.
