connection with a Borrowing, Conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Advance or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount (such as a required minimum or multiple amount) is expressed in Dollars, but such
Borrowing, Eurocurrency Advance or Letter of Credit is denominated in Canadian Dollars, such amount shall be the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest Canadian cent, with 0.5 of Canadian cent being rounded upward),
as determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as the case may be. 

Section 1.7    Agreed Currencies. If, after the date hereof, (a) currency
control or other exchange regulations are imposed by Canada with the result that different types of Canadian Dollars are introduced, (b) Canadian Dollars, in the reasonable determination of the US Administrative Agent, no longer qualifies as an
“Eligible Currency” or (c) in the reasonable determination of the US Administrative Agent, a Dollar Equivalent or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent, as applicable, of such currency is not readily calculable, then the US Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the US Lenders and the Company, and no Credit Extensions may be made under the US Facility in Canadian Dollars until such time as the US Administrative Agent and the US Lenders, as provided herein, agree to reinstate
Canadian Dollars as an Agreed Currency. 
 Section 1.8    Change of Currency.
Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the US Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country other than the
United States and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency. 

Section 1.9    Several Obligations of Borrowers. Subject to the US Borrower’s
guaranty obligations under the Canadian Guaranty, which shall be joint and several, the other obligations of the Borrowers to pay the principal of, interest on, and fees associated with each Credit Extension are several and not joint, and the
Canadian Borrower and the other Foreign Subsidiaries shall not be liable for the payment obligations of the US Borrower hereunder.

Section 2.1    Commitments. 

(a)    US Commitment. Each US Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to
make US Advances to the US Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date; provided that, after giving effect to such US Advances, the US
Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate US Commitments. Each US Borrowing shall (i) if comprised of US Base Rate Advances be in an aggregate amount not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, (ii) if
comprised of Eurocurrency Advances be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) consist of US Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the US Lenders ratably
according to their respective US Commitments. Within the limits of each Lender’s US Commitment, the US Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.7, and reborrow under this (a). 

(b)    Canadian Commitment. Each Canadian Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, to make Canadian Advances to the Canadian Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date; provided that after giving effect to such

pursuant to Section 2.7, and reborrow under this (b). 
 (c)    Term Loan
Commitments. Each Term Loan Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a single Term Loan Advance to US Borrower on or about the Effective Date in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Term
Loan Commitment. Immediately upon the making of a Term Loan Advance by any Lender having a Term Loan Commitment, such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment will be permanently reduced to zero. Term Loan Advances that are repaid or prepaid by US
Borrower may not be reborrowed. 
 (d)    Change in Commitments. 

(i)    US Commitments. The US Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’
notice to the US Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portion of the US Commitments; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction or termination of the US Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be permanent, with no obligation of the US Lenders to reinstate such US Commitments, and the Commitment Fees shall thereafter be computed
on the basis of the US Commitments, as so reduced. 

  
 41 









 (ii)    Canadian Commitments. The Canadian Borrower
shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Canadian Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portion of the Canadian Commitments; provided that each partial reduction shall be
in the aggregate amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction or termination of the Canadian Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be permanent, with no obligation of the Canadian Lenders to
reinstate such Canadian Commitments, and the Commitment Fees shall thereafter be computed on the basis of the Canadian Commitments, as so reduced. 

(iii)    Defaulting Lender. At any time when a Lender is then a Defaulting Lender, the Applicable
Borrower, at such Borrower’s election, may elect to terminate such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment hereunder; provided that (A) such termination must be of all of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitments, (B) the Applicable
Borrower shall pay all amounts owed by the Applicable Borrower to such Defaulting Lender in such Lender’s capacity as a Lender under this Agreement and under the other Credit Documents (including principal of and interest on the Advances owed
to such Defaulting Lender, accrued Commitment Fees (subject to Section 2.18(a)(iii)), and letter of credit fees (subject to Section 2.18(a)(iii) but specifically excluding any amounts owing
under Section 2.12 as result of such payment of such Advances) and shall deposit with the Applicable Administrative Agent into the Cash Collateral Account cash collateral in the amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s
ratable share of the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Exposure (including any such portion thereof that has been reallocated pursuant to Section 2.18), (C) a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments may be
terminated by the Applicable Borrower under this Section 2.1(d) if and only if at such time, such Borrower has elected, or is then electing, to terminate the Commitments of all then existing Defaulting Lenders, and
(D) no Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such election and termination. Upon written notice to the Defaulting Lender and Applicable Administrative Agent of the Applicable Borrower’s election to terminate a Defaulting
Lender’s Commitments pursuant to this clause (iii) and the payment and deposit of amounts required to be made by the Applicable Borrower under clause (B) and (C) above, (1) such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a
“Lender” hereunder for all purposes except that such Lender’s rights and obligations as a Lender under Section 2.11, Section 2.13, Section 2.15,
Section 8.3 and Section 9.1 shall continue with respect to events and occurrences occurring before or concurrently with its ceasing to be a “Lender” hereunder, (2) such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitments shall be deemed terminated, and (3) such Defaulting Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder as a “Lender” except as to its obligations under Section 8.3 and
Section 9.1 and any other obligations that expressly survive, which obligations shall continue with respect to events and occurrences occurring before or concurrently with its ceasing to be a “Lender” hereunder,
provided that, any such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents, the Swingline Lender, Issuing Lenders or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 

(iv)    All notices for a complete termination under clauses (i)-(iii) above delivered by the
Applicable Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Applicable Borrower (by notice to the both Administrative Agents on or prior to the
specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  

  
 42 









 Section 2.2    Evidence of
Indebtedness. The Advances made by each Lender, and the Swingline Advances made by the Swingline Lender, shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender or the Swingline Lender and by the Applicable
Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Applicable Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Advances made by
such Lenders and Swingline Lender to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount
owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Applicable Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of
the Applicable Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrowers made through the Applicable Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Applicable Administrative Agent) the applicable Notes which shall evidence such Lender’s Advances to the Applicable Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Upon the request of the Swingline Lender to the US Borrower, the US Borrower
shall execute and deliver to the Swingline Lender a Swingline Note which shall evidence the applicable Swingline Advances to the US Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender and the Swingline Lender may attach schedules to such
Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, and maturity of its Advances and payments with respect thereto. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in the immediately preceding sentences, each Lender, each Issuing
Lender and each Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by the Applicable Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender (other than the respective Issuing Lenders) in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Applicable Administrative Agent shall
control in the absence of manifest error. In the event of any conflict among the accounts and records maintained by the Applicable Administrative Agent, the accounts and records maintained by an Issuing Lender as to Letters of Credit issued by it,
and the accounts and records of any other Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of such Issuing Lender shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

Section 2.3    Letters of Credit. 

(a)    Commitment for Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in
reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section, (x) the US Issuing Lender agrees to, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Business Day immediately preceding the
Maturity Date, issue, increase or extend the expiration date of US Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars for the account of the US Borrower or a US Guarantor; and (y) the Canadian Issuing Lender agrees to, from time to
time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, issue, increase or extend the expiration date of Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars for


  
 43 









 
the account of the Canadian Borrower or a Guarantor; provided that, in any event, no Letter of Credit will be issued, increased, or extended: 

(i)    if such issuance, increase, or extension would cause the Dollar Equivalent of the US Letter of
Credit Exposure to exceed the lesser of (A) the US Letter of Credit Maximum Amount and (B) an amount equal to (1) the aggregate US Commitments in effect at such time minus (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of US
Advances minus (3) the aggregate outstanding amount of Swingline Advances; 
 (ii)    if such
issuance, increase, or extension would cause the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed the lesser of (A) the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Letter of Credit Maximum Amount and (B) an amount equal to
(1) the aggregate Canadian Commitments in effect at such time minus (2) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Canadian Advances; 

(iii)    unless such Letter of Credit has an expiration date not later than the earlier of (A) one
year after the issuance or extension and (B) the Letter of Credit Termination Date; provided that, (1) if Commitments are terminated in whole pursuant to Section 2.1(d), the Applicable Borrower shall either
(A) deposit into the applicable Cash Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable Letter of Credit Exposure for the Letters of Credit which have an expiry date beyond such termination date or
(B) provide a replacement letter of credit (or other security) reasonably acceptable to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Applicable Issuing Lender in an amount equal to 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of such Letter of Credit Exposure
and (2) any such Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor (or shorter tenor) may expressly provide for an automatic extension of additional periods up to one additional year so long as such Letter of Credit
expressly allows the Applicable Issuing Lender, at its sole discretion, to elect not to provide such extension; provided that, in any event, such automatic extension may not result in an expiration date that occurs after the Letter of Credit
Termination Date; 
 (iv)    unless such Letter of Credit is (A) a standby letter of credit, or
(B) with the consent of the Applicable Issuing Lender, a commercial letter of credit; 

(v)    unless such Letter of Credit is in form and substance acceptable to the Applicable Issuing Lender in
its sole discretion; 
 (vi)    unless the Applicable Borrower has delivered to the Applicable Issuing
Lender a completed and executed Letter of Credit Application; provided that, if the terms of any Letter of Credit Application conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control; 

(vii)    unless such Letter of Credit is governed by (A) the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, or (B) the ISP, in either case, including any subsequent revisions thereof approved by a Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce; 

  
 44 









 (viii)    if any order, judgment or decree of any
Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Applicable Issuing Lender from issuing, increasing or extending such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirement applicable to the Applicable Issuing Lender or
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Applicable Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance, increase or
extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not
otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems
material to it; 
 (ix)    if the issuance, increase or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate
one or more policies of such Issuing Lender that are generally applicable to letters of credit; 

(x)    if such Letter of Credit supports the obligations of any Person in respect of (A) a lease of
real property, or (B) an employment contract if the Applicable Issuing Lender reasonably determines that the Applicable Borrower’s obligation to reimburse any draws under such Letter of Credit may be limited; or 

(xi)    any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless
the Applicable Issuing Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Applicable Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Lender. 

(b)    Requesting Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit Extension shall be made pursuant to a Letter of Credit
Application, or if applicable, amendments to such Letter of Credit Applications, given by the Applicable Borrower to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Applicable Issuing Lender by telecopy or in writing not later than
(i) 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day before the proposed date of the US Letter of Credit Extension and (ii) 12:00 noon (Calgary, Alberta, Canada, time) on the third Business Day before the proposed date of the
Canadian Letter of Credit Extension. Each Letter of Credit Application, or if applicable, amendments to the Letter of Credit Applications, shall be fully completed and shall specify the information required therein. Each Letter of Credit
Application, or if applicable, amendments to the Letter of Credit Applications, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Applicable Borrower. 

(c)    Reimbursements for Letters of Credit; Funding of Participations. 

(i)    In accordance with the related Letter of Credit Application, the US Borrower with respect to a US
Letter of Credit, and the Canadian Borrower with respect to Canadian Letters of Credit, agrees to pay on demand to the Applicable Administrative Agent on behalf of the Applicable Issuing Lender an amount equal to any amount paid by such Applicable
Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. Upon the Applicable Issuing 

  
 45 









 
Lender’s demand for payment under the terms of a Letter of Credit Application, the Applicable Borrower may request that such Borrower’s obligations to the Applicable Issuing Lender
thereunder be satisfied with the proceeds of (A) a US Base Rate Advance under the US Facility in the same amount with respect to any US Letter of Credit, and (B) a Canadian Prime Rate Advance in the same amount with respect to any Canadian
Letter of Credit, in each case, notwithstanding any minimum size or increment limitations on individual Advances. If the Applicable Borrower does not make such request and does not otherwise make the payments demanded by the Applicable Issuing
Lender as required under this Agreement or the applicable Letter of Credit Application, then upon such notice by the Applicable Issuing Lender to the Applicable Administrative Agent (which notice is not required when such Issuing Lender and such
Administrative Agent are the same Person), the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have requested such US Advance, or such Canadian Advance, as the case may be, in the same amount and the transfer of the
proceeds thereof to satisfy such Borrower’s obligations to the Applicable Issuing Lender. If such Applicable Borrower is the US Borrower, the US Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs the US Lenders to
make such US Base Rate Advances, to transfer the proceeds thereof to the US Issuing Lender in satisfaction of such obligations, and to record and otherwise treat such payments as a US Base Rate Advance under the US Facility to the US Borrower. If
such Applicable Borrower is the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs the Canadian Lenders to make such Canadian Prime Rate Advances, to transfer the proceeds thereof to
Canadian Issuing Lender in satisfaction of such obligations, and to record and otherwise treat such payments as a Canadian Prime Rate Advance to the Canadian Borrower. The Applicable Administrative Agent and each Applicable Lender may record and
otherwise treat the making of such Borrowings as the making of (1) a US Borrowing to the US Borrower under this Agreement as if requested by the US Borrower with respect to US Letter of Credit Obligations or (2) a Canadian Borrowing to the
Canadian Borrower under this Agreement as if requested by the Canadian Borrower with respect to Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations. Nothing herein is intended to release any Borrower’s obligations under any Letter of Credit Application, but
only to provide an additional method of payment therefor. The making of any Borrowing under this Section 2.3(c) shall not constitute a cure or waiver of any Default or Event of Default, other than the payment Default or
Event of Default which is satisfied by the application of the amounts deemed advanced hereunder, caused by a Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement or the applicable Letter of Credit Application. 

(ii)    Each US Lender and each Canadian Lender (including each Lender acting as an Issuing Lender) shall,
upon notice from the Applicable Administrative Agent that the Applicable Borrower has requested or is deemed to have requested an Advance pursuant to Section 2.6 and regardless of whether (A) the conditions in
Section 3.2 have been met, (B) such notice complies with Section 2.6, or (C) a Default exists, make funds available to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the
Applicable Issuing Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Advance not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time or Calgary, Alberta, Canada, time, as applicable) on the Business Day specified in
such notice by the Applicable Administrative Agent, whereupon (i) each US Lender that so 

  
 46 









 
makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a US Base Rate Advance under the US Facility to the US Borrower in such amount, and (ii) each Canadian Lender that so makes funds available
shall be deemed to have made a Canadian Prime Rate Advance to the Canadian Borrower in such amount. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Applicable Issuing Lender. 

(iii)    If any such Lender shall not have so made such Advance available to the Applicable Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3, such Lender agrees to pay interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid at the lesser of (A) the Overnight Rate for such day for the first three
days and thereafter the interest rate applicable to such US Base Rate Advances, or if applicable, the Canadian Prime Rate Advances and (B) the Maximum Rate. Whenever, at any time after the Applicable Administrative Agent has received from any
Lender such Lender’s Advance, the Applicable Administrative Agent receives any payment on account thereof, the Applicable Administrative Agent will pay to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the
case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s Advance was outstanding and funded), which payment shall be subject to repayment by such Lender if such payment received by the Applicable Administrative Agent
is required to be returned. Each Lender’s obligation to make the Advances pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have against any Issuing Lender, either Administrative Agent or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the termination of the Commitments; (3) any breach of this Agreement by a Borrower or any other Lender; or (4) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing. 
 (iv)    If at any time, the US Commitments shall have expired or been
terminated while any US Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding, then each US Lender, at the sole option of the US Issuing Lender, shall fund its participation in such US Letters of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the unpaid amount of the US Borrower’s payment obligations under drawn US Letters of Credit. If at any time, the Canadian Commitments shall have expired or been terminated while any Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure is
outstanding, then each Canadian Lender, at the sole option of the Canadian Issuing Lender, shall fund its participation in such Letters of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the unpaid amount of the Canadian
Borrower’s payment obligations under drawn Canadian Letters of Credit. The Applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Applicable Administrative Agent, and in turn, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall notify each such applicable Lender of
the amount of such participation, and such Lender will transfer to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable Issuing Lender on the next Business Day following such notice, in Same Day Funds, the amount of such
participation. At any time after an Applicable Issuing Lender has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender funding of its participation in respect of such payment in accordance with this clause (iv), if the
Applicable Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Applicable Issuing Lender any 

  
 47 









 
payment in respect of the related Letter of Credit Exposure or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the
Applicable Administrative Agent), the Applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Applicable Administrative Agent. 

(v)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agents for the account of any Applicable Issuing
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.13 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Lender
in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Applicable Issuing Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Applicable Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the
date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate in effect from time to time. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (d)    Participations. Upon the date of the issuance or
increase of a Letter of Credit, (i) the US Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold to each other US Lender and each other US Lender shall have been deemed to have purchased from the US Issuing Lender a participation in the related US Letter
of Credit Obligations equal to such US Lender’s Applicable Percentage at such date, and (ii) the Canadian Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold to each other Canadian Lender and each other Canadian Lender shall have been deemed to
have purchased from the Canadian Issuing Lender a participation in the related Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations equal to such Canadian Lender’s Applicable Percentage at such date, and, in either case, such sale and purchase shall otherwise
be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each such participant Lender by telex, telephone, or telecopy of each Letter of Credit issued or increased and the actual dollar amount of such
Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit. 
 (e)    Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the
US Borrower under this Agreement in respect of each US Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Canadian Borrower under this Agreement in respect of each Canadian Letter of Credit, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, notwithstanding the following circumstances: 

(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Documents; 

(ii)    any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit Documents; 

(iii)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
right which any Restricted Entity may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other
person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or in any Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; 

  
 48 









 (iv)    any statement or any other document presented under
such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect to the extent the Applicable Issuing Lender would not be liable therefor pursuant to
the following paragraph (g); 
 (v)    payment by any Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or 

(vi)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;

 provided, however, that nothing contained in this paragraph (e) shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any remedies of the Borrowers in
connection with the Letters of Credit. 
 (f)    Prepayments of Letters of Credit. In the event that any US
Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or shall be drawn and not reimbursed after the Maturity Date, the US Borrower shall pay to the US Administrative Agent an amount equal to 103% of the US Letter of Credit Exposure allocable to such Letter of
Credit to be held in the US Cash Collateral Account and applied in accordance with paragraph (h) below. In the event that any Canadian Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or shall be drawn and not reimbursed after the Maturity Date, the
Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent an amount equal to 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure allocable to such Letter of Credit to be held in the Canadian Cash Collateral Account and
applied in accordance with paragraph (h) below. 
 (g)    Liability of Issuing Lenders. The US Borrower
assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any US Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. The Canadian Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or
transferee of any Canadian Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither Issuing Lender nor any of its respective officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: 

(i)    the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or
transferee in connection therewith; 
 (ii)    the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or
of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; 

(iii)    payment by any Issuing Lender against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms
of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the relevant Letter of Credit; or 

  
 49 









 (iv)    any other circumstances whatsoever in making or
failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit (INCLUDING AN ISSUING LENDER’S OWN NEGLIGENCE); 
 except that the Applicable Borrower shall
have a claim against the Applicable Issuing Lender, and the Applicable Issuing Lender shall be liable to, and shall promptly pay to, the Applicable Borrower, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by such Borrower
which a court in a final, non-appealable finding rules were caused by such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lenders may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary. 
 (h)    Cash Collateral – General. 

(i)    If the US Borrower is required to deposit funds in the US Cash Collateral Account pursuant to the
terms hereof, then the US Borrower and the US Administrative Agent shall establish the US Cash Collateral Account and the US Borrower shall execute any documents and agreements, including the US Administrative Agent’s standard form assignment
of deposit accounts, that the US Administrative Agent reasonably requests in connection therewith to establish the US Cash Collateral Account and grant the US Administrative Agent an Acceptable Security Interest in such account and the funds
therein. The US Borrower hereby pledges to the US Administrative Agent and grants the US Administrative Agent a security interest in the US Cash Collateral Account, whenever established, all funds held in the US Cash Collateral Account from time to
time, and all proceeds thereof as security for the payment of the Secured Obligations. 
 (ii)    If the
Canadian Borrower is required to deposit funds in the Canadian Cash Collateral Account pursuant to the terms hereof, then the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall establish the Canadian Cash Collateral Account and the
Canadian Borrower shall execute any documents and agreements, including the Canadian Administrative Agent’s standard form assignment of deposit accounts, that the Canadian Administrative Agent reasonably requests in connection therewith to
establish the Canadian Cash Collateral Account and grant the Canadian Administrative Agent an Acceptable Security Interest in such account and the funds therein. The Canadian Borrower hereby pledges to the Canadian Administrative Agent and grants
the Canadian Administrative Agent a security interest in the Canadian Cash Collateral Account, whenever established, all funds held in the Canadian Cash Collateral Account from time to time, and all proceeds thereof as security for the payment of
the Canadian Obligations. 
 (iii)    If a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender deposits
funds in a deposit account with an Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.3(h)(iii) and Section 2.3(j), then such Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent
shall establish such cash collateral account and such Lender shall 

  
 50 









 
execute any documents and agreements, including the Applicable Administrative Agent’s standard form assignment of deposit accounts, that the Applicable Administrative Agent requests in
connection therewith to establish such account and grant the Applicable Administrative Agent a first priority security interest in such account and the funds therein. Such Defaulting Lender hereby pledges to the Applicable Administrative Agent and
grants the Applicable Administrative Agent a security interest in such collateral account, whenever established, all funds held in such account from time to time, and all proceeds thereof as security for the payment of the Letter of Credit
Obligations of the Applicable Borrowers to be applied as provided in Section 2.3(j) below. 

(iv)    Funds held in the Cash Collateral Accounts shall be held as cash collateral for obligations with
respect to US Letters of Credit in the case of the US Cash Collateral Account and the Canadian Letters of Credit in the case of the Canadian Cash Collateral Account. Such funds shall be promptly applied by the Applicable Administrative Agent at the
request of the Applicable Issuing Lender to any reimbursement or other obligations under the applicable Letters of Credit that exist or occur. To the extent that any surplus funds are held in the US Cash Collateral Account above the US Letter of
Credit Exposure during the existence of an Event of Default the US Administrative Agent may (A) hold such surplus funds in the US Cash Collateral Account as cash collateral for the Secured Obligations or (B) apply such surplus funds to any
Secured Obligations in any manner directed by the US Majority Lenders. To the extent that any surplus funds are held in the Canadian Cash Collateral Account above the Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure during the existence of an Event of Default the
Canadian Administrative Agent may (A) hold such surplus funds in the Canadian Cash Collateral Account as cash collateral for the Canadian Obligations or (B) apply such surplus funds to any such Secured Obligations in any manner directed by
the Canadian Majority Lenders. If no Default exists, the Administrative Agents shall release to the Applicable Borrower at such Borrower’s written request any funds held in the applicable Cash Collateral Account above the amounts required by
Section 2.3(j), subject to the requirements of Section 2.3(j) below and Section 2.18(a)(ii). 

(v)    Funds held in the US Cash Collateral Account shall be invested in Liquid Investments maintained
with, and under the sole dominion and control of, the US Administrative Agent or in another investment if mutually agreed upon by the US Borrower and the US Administrative Agent, but the US Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make any
other investment of the funds therein. Funds held in the Canadian Cash Collateral Account shall be invested in Liquid Investments maintained with, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Canadian Administrative Agent or in another investment
if mutually agreed upon by the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Administrative Agent, but the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make any other investment of the funds therein. The Administrative Agents shall exercise
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Cash Collateral Accounts and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which each such Administrative
Agent accords its own property, it being understood that neither Administrative Agent shall have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any such funds.

 (i)    Defaulting Lender – Cash Collateral. Subject to
Section 2.18, if, at any time, a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender exists hereunder, then, at the request of any Issuing Lender, the Applicable Borrower shall fully Cash Collateralize such Issuing
Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.18 and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.3(j) or Section 2.18 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the
satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash
Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer
be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.3(j) following (a) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable
Lender), or (b) the determination by the Applicable Administrative Agent and Applicable Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, (1) subject to Section 2.18, the Person providing
Cash Collateral and the Applicable Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations, (2) to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by a Borrower, such
Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Credit Documents, and (3) to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by a Borrower, during the existence of an Event of Default the application of
such Cash Collateral shall be subject to Section 2.3(h)(iv) and (v) above, the second sentence in this Section 2.3(j) and Section 2.18(a)(ii). 

(j)    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding
hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, any Restricted Subsidiary, (i) the US Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the US Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit issued
under the US Facility by the US Issuing Lender and (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Canadian Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit issued under the Canadian Facility by the
Canadian Issuing Lender. The US Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the US Borrower, and that the US Borrower’s business derives substantial
benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries. The Canadian Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Canadian Borrower, and that
the Canadian Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries. 

Section 2.4    Swingline Advances. 

(a)    Facility. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and if an AutoBorrow Agreement is in
effect, subject to the terms and conditions of such AutoBorrow Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall, from time-to-time on any Business Day during the period from the
date of this Agreement until the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, make Swingline Advances to the US Borrower which shall be due and payable on the Swingline Payment Date, bearing interest at the Adjusted Base Rate plus the
Applicable 

  
 52 









 
Margin for US Base Rate Advances or such other per annum rate as agreed to between the US Borrower and the Swingline Lender; provided that (i) after giving effect to such Swingline Advance,
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Advances advanced by the Swingline Lender shall not exceed the Swingline Sublimit Amount; (ii) after giving effect to such Swingline Advance, the US Outstandings shall not exceed the
aggregate US Commitments then in effect; (iii) no Swingline Advance shall be made by the Swingline Lender if the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 have not been met as of the date of such Swingline Advance, it being
agreed by the US Borrower that the giving of the applicable Notice of Borrowing and the acceptance by the US Borrower of the proceeds of such Swingline Advance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the US Borrower that on the date of
such Swingline Advance such conditions have been met; (iv) each Swingline Advance shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $100,000.00 and in integral multiples of $50,000.00 in excess thereof, except as otherwise set forth in any
AutoBorrow Agreement; (v) if an AutoBorrow Agreement is in effect, such additional terms and conditions of such AutoBorrow Agreement shall have been satisfied, and in the event that any of the terms of this (a) conflict with such
AutoBorrow Agreement, the terms of the AutoBorrow Agreement shall govern and control; and (vi) if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender hereunder, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any
Swingline Advances unless the US Borrower shall have deposited with the US Administrative Agent into the Cash Collateral Account cash collateral in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s or Potential Defaulting Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the aggregate Swingline Sublimit Amount; provided that, in the event that the US Administrative Agent, the US Borrower, and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, then if no Default exists, any cash collateral posted by the US Borrower pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to such Lender shall be
returned to the US Borrower. No Lender shall have any rights or obligations under any AutoBorrow Agreement, but each Lender shall have the obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in the Swingline Advances and to refinance Swingline
Advances as provided below and as provided in Section 2.18. 
 (b)    Evidence of
Indebtedness. The indebtedness of the US Borrower to the Swingline Lender resulting from Swingline Advances shall be evidenced as set forth in Section 2.2. 

(c)    Prepayment. Within the limits expressed in this Agreement, amounts advanced pursuant to
Section 2.4(a) may from time to time be borrowed, prepaid without penalty, and reborrowed. If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Advances advanced by the Swingline Lender ever exceeds the Swingline
Sublimit Amount, the US Borrower shall, upon receipt of written notice of such condition from the Swingline Lender and to the extent of such excess, prepay to the Swingline Lender outstanding principal of the Swingline Advances such that such excess
is eliminated. If an AutoBorrow Agreement is in effect, each prepayment of a Swingline Borrowing shall be made as provided in such AutoBorrow Agreement. 

  
 53 









 (d)    Refinancing of Swingline Advances. 

(i)    With respect to the Swingline Advances and the interest, premium, fees, and other amounts owed by
the US Borrower to the Swingline Lender in connection with the Swingline Advances, the US Borrower agrees to pay to the Swingline Lender such amounts when due and payable to the Swingline Lender under the terms of this Agreement and, if an
AutoBorrow Agreement is in effect, in accordance with the terms of such AutoBorrow Agreement. If the US Borrower does not pay to the Swingline Lender any such amounts when due and payable to such Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may upon
notice to the US Administrative Agent request the satisfaction of such obligation by the making of a US Borrowing in the amount of any such amounts not paid when due and payable. Upon such request, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have requested
the making of a US Borrowing in the amount of such obligation and the transfer of the proceeds thereof to the Swingline Lender. Such US Borrowing shall bear interest based upon the Adjusted Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for US Base Rate
Advances. The US Administrative Agent shall promptly forward notice of such US Borrowing to the US Borrower and the US Lenders, and each US Lender shall, regardless of whether (A) the conditions in Section 3.2 have
been met, (B) such notice complies with Section 2.6, or (C) a Default exists, make available such US Lender’s ratable share of such US Borrowing to the US Administrative Agent, and the US Administrative Agent
shall promptly deliver the proceeds thereof to the Swingline Lender for application to such amounts owed to the Swingline Lender. The US Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs the Swingline Lender to make
such requests for US Borrowings on behalf of the US Borrower in accordance with this Section, and the US Lenders to make US Advances to the US Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Swingline Lender in satisfaction of such obligations. The US
Administrative Agent and each US Lender may record and otherwise treat the making of such US Borrowings as the making of a US Borrowing to the US Borrower under this Agreement as if requested by the US Borrower. 

Nothing herein is intended to release the US Borrower’s obligations with respect to Swingline Advances, but only to provide an additional
method of payment therefor. The making of any Borrowing under this Section 2.4(d) shall not constitute a cure or waiver of any Default or Event of Default, other than the payment Default or Event of Default which is
satisfied by the application of the amounts deemed advanced hereunder, caused by the US Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement or any AutoBorrow Agreement. 

(ii)    If at any time, the US Commitments shall have expired or been terminated while any Swingline
Advance is outstanding, each US Lender, at the sole option of the Swingline Lender, shall either (A) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the US Commitments, make a US Advance as a US Base Rate Advance, or (B) be deemed,
without further action by any Person, to have purchased from the Swingline Lender a participation in such Swingline Advance, in either case in an amount equal to the product of such US Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the outstanding
aggregate principal balance of the Swingline Advances made by the Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall notify the US 

  
 54 









 
Administrative Agent, and in turn, the US Administrative Agent shall notify each such US Lender of the amount of such US Advance or participation, and such US Lender will transfer to the US
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender on the next Business Day following such notice, in Same Day Funds, the amount of such US Advance or participation. 

(iii)    If any such US Lender shall not have so made its US Advance or its percentage participation
available to the US Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.4, such US Lender agrees to pay interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid at the lesser of (A) the Overnight
Rate for such day for the first three days and thereafter the interest rate applicable to the US Advance and (B) the Maximum Rate. Whenever, at any time after the US Administrative Agent has received from any US Lender such Lender’s US
Advance or participating interest in a Swingline Advance, the US Administrative Agent receives any payment on account thereof, the US Administrative Agent will pay to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in
the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s US Advance or participating interest was outstanding and funded), which payment shall be subject to repayment by such Lender if such payment received by the
US Administrative Agent is required to be returned. Each US Lender’s obligation to make the US Advance or purchase such participating interests pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have against the Swingline Lender, the US
Administrative Agent or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the termination of the US Commitments; (3) any breach of this Agreement by the US Borrower or any other Lender; or
(4) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Each Swingline Advance, once so participated by any US Lender, shall cease to be a Swingline Advance with respect to that amount for
purposes of this Agreement, but shall continue to be a US Advance. 
 (e)    Method of Borrowing. If an
AutoBorrow Agreement is in effect, each Swingline Borrowing shall be made as provided in such AutoBorrow Agreement. Otherwise, each request for a Swingline Advance shall be made pursuant to telephone notice to the Swingline Lender given no later
than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)(or such later time as accepted by the Swingline Lender) on the date of the proposed Swingline Advance, promptly confirmed by a completed and executed Notice of Borrowing telecopied or facsimiled to the US
Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender will promptly make the Swingline Advance available to the US Borrower at the US Borrower’s account with the US Administrative Agent or as otherwise directed by the US Borrower
with written notice to the US Administrative Agent. 
 (f)    Interest for Account of Swingline
Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the US Borrower for interest on the Swingline Advances (provided that any failure of the Swingline Lender to provide such invoice shall not release the US Borrower from its
obligation to pay such interest). Until each US Lender funds its US Advance or risk participation pursuant to clause (d) above, interest in respect of each US Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Swingline Advances shall be solely for the
account of the Swingline Lender. 

  
 55 









 (g)    Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The US Borrower shall
make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Advances directly to the Swingline Lender. 

(h)    Adjustments to Swingline Sublimit Amount. If any US Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a
Potential Defaulting Lender hereunder, at the US Borrower’s option and with at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the US Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, the US Borrower may decrease the Swingline Sublimit
Amount to such lesser amount notified to the US Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender. If such election is made, then in the event that the US Administrative Agent, the US Borrower, and the Swingline Lender agree that all existing Defaulting
Lenders and Potential Defaulting Lenders have adequately remedied all matters that caused such US Lenders to be Defaulting Lenders or Potential Defaulting Lenders, the Swingline Sublimit Amount shall automatically, without further notice or action
to be taken by any party hereto, be increased back up to the Swingline Sublimit Amount that was in effect prior to the US Borrower’s election made pursuant to this clause (h). 

(i)    The Swingline Lender will report to the US Administrative Agent, no less often than weekly, the amount of Swingline
Loans outstanding. 
 Section 2.5    Bankers’
Acceptances. 
 (a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Canadian Borrower may request a
Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars by presenting drafts for acceptance and, if applicable, purchase as B/As by the Canadian Lenders. 

(b)    No Contract Period with respect to a B/A to be accepted and, if applicable, purchased as an Advance shall extend
beyond the Maturity Date. All B/A Borrowings shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars. 
 (c)    To facilitate availment
of the B/A Advances, the Canadian Borrower hereby appoints each Canadian Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Canadian Lender, blank
forms of B/As in the form requested by such Canadian Lender. The Canadian Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Canadian Lender shall bind the Canadian Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed
in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of the Canadian Borrower. Each Canadian Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Canadian Lender; provided
that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of B/As required to be accepted and purchased by such Canadian Lender. No Canadian Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or
improper use of any such instrument except the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Canadian Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment. Each Canadian Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (i) voided by it for any reason, (ii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder and (iii) canceled at their respective maturities. Each Canadian Lender further
agrees to retain such records in the manner and for the statutory periods 

  
 56 









 
provided in the various provincial or federal statutes and regulations which apply to such Canadian Lender. On request by or on behalf of the Canadian Borrower, a Canadian Lender shall cancel all
forms of B/A which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Canadian Borrower and which are held by such Canadian Lender and are not required to be issued
in accordance with the Canadian Borrower’s irrevocable notice. At the discretion of a Canadian Lender, B/As to be accepted by such Canadian Lender may be issued in the form of “Depository Bills” within the meaning of the Depository
Bills and Notes Act (Canada) and deposited with the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”) and may be made payable to “CDS & Co.” or in such other name as may be acceptable to CDS and thereafter
dealt with in accordance with the rules and procedures of CDS, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada). All Depository Bills so issued shall be governed by the provisions of this
Section 2.5. 
 (d)    Drafts of the Canadian Borrower to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall
be signed as set forth in this Section 2.5. Notwithstanding that any Person whose signature appears on any B/A may no longer be an authorized signatory for any of the Canadian Lenders or the Canadian Borrower at the date of
issuance of a B/A, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such B/A so signed shall be binding on the Canadian Borrower. 

(e)    Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion of B/As, the Canadian
Administrative Agent shall so advise the Canadian Lenders and shall advise each Canadian Lender of the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by it and the applicable Contract Period (which shall be identical for all Canadian Lenders). The
aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by a Canadian Lender shall be in an integral multiple of C$100,000 and such face amount shall be in each Canadian Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Canadian Borrowing, and each such Canadian
Borrowing shall be no less than C$500,000; provided, that the Canadian Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, increase or reduce any Canadian Lender’s portion of such B/A to the nearest C$100,000. 

(f)    The Canadian Borrower may specify in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion pursuant to
Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b), respectively, that it desires that any B/As requested by such notice be purchased by the Canadian Lenders, in which case the Canadian Lenders shall purchase, or
arrange the purchase of, each B/A from the Canadian Borrower at the Discount Rate for such Canadian Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to the Canadian Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds for the account of the Canadian
Borrower. The Acceptance Fee payable by the Canadian Borrower to a Canadian Lender under Section 2.10(e) in respect of each B/A accepted by such Canadian Lender shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable by such
Canadian Lender under this Section 2.5. 
 (g)    Each Canadian Lender may at any time and
from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all B/As accepted and purchased by it. 

(h)    In respect of Conversions into B/As, in order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Canadian Borrower to the
Canadian Lenders for the amount of the converted 

  
 57 









 
Canadian Borrowing, each Canadian Lender shall receive and retain for its own account the Discount Proceeds of the B/As issued upon such Conversion, and the Canadian Borrower shall on the
Conversion Date pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders an amount equal to the difference between the principal amount of the converted Canadian Borrowing and the aggregate Discount Proceeds from the B/As
issued on such Conversion, together with the acceptance fees to which the Lenders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.5. In order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Canadian Borrower to the Canadian Lenders for an
amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the maturing B/As converted to another type of Borrowing, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall record the obligation of the Canadian Borrower to the Canadian Lenders as a Canadian Borrowing of the type
into which such continuing liability has been converted. 
 (i)    If a Canadian Lender notifies the Canadian
Administrative Agent in writing that it is unable to accept Bankers’ Acceptances, such Canadian Lender will, instead of accepting and, if applicable, purchasing Bankers’ Acceptances, make an advance (a “B/A Equivalent
Advance”) to the Canadian Borrower in the amount and for the same term as the draft that such Canadian Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Canadian Lender will provide to the Canadian
Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds of such B/A Equivalent Advance for the account of the Canadian Borrower. Each such B/A Equivalent Advance will bear interest at the same rate that would result if such Lender had accepted (and been paid an
Acceptance Fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis at the Discount Rate) a Bankers’ Acceptance for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such B/A Equivalent Advance shall have the same economic
consequences for the Lenders and the Canadian Borrower as the Bankers’ Acceptance which such B/A Equivalent Advance replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such B/A Equivalent Advance is made, and will be deducted from
the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Advance in the same manner in which the Discount Proceeds of a Bankers’ Acceptance would be deducted from the face amount of the Bankers’ Acceptance. 

(j)    The Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a
Canadian Lender in respect of a B/A accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of such B/A being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Canadian Lender in its own right and the Canadian Borrower agrees
not to claim any days of grace if such Canadian Lender as holder sues the Canadian Borrower on the B/A for payment of the amount payable by the Canadian Borrower thereunder. On the last day of the Contract Period of a B/A, or such earlier date as
may be required or permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Canadian Borrower shall pay the Canadian Lender that has accepted and purchased such B/A the full face amount of such B/A (subject to
Section 2.5(j) below and Section 2.7(b)), and after such payment, the Canadian Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Canadian Lender shall be entitled to all
benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A. 
 (k)    Except as required by
any Canadian Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, no B/A Advance may be repaid by the Canadian Borrower prior to the expiry date of the Contract Period applicable to such B/A Advance; provided, however, that any B/A or B/A Equivalent
Advance may be defeased as provided in Section 2.7(b)(ii). 

  
 58 









 Section 2.6    Borrowings; Procedures and
Limitations. 
 (a)    Notice. Each Borrowing shall be made pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing (other than
the Borrowings to be made on the Effective Date and Swingline Borrowings) and given: 
 (i)    by the US
Borrower to the US Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Eurocurrency Advance under the US Facility; 

(ii)    by the US Borrower to the US Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on
the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a US Base Rate Advance under the US Facility; 

(iii)    by the Canadian Borrower to the Canadian Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Calgary,

(iv)    by the Canadian Borrower to the Canadian Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Calgary,
Alberta, Canada time) one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Canadian Prime Rate Advance or Base Rate Advance. 
 The
Applicable Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender prompt notice on the day of receipt of a timely Notice of Borrowing by facsimile; provided however that the Administrative Agents and each of the Lenders hereby waive the requirement
in this Section 2.6(a) with respect to the initial Borrowings to be made on the Effective Date. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be by telephone or facsimile, and if by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, specifying
(i) the requested date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the requested Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (iv) if such Borrowing is to be comprised of
Eurocurrency Advances, the Interest Period for such Advances, (v) if such Borrowing is to be comprised of B/A Advances, the Contract Period for such Advances, and (vi) if applicable, the Designated Currency of such Borrowing. In the case
of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Advances, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.10. Each Applicable Lender shall
before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time or Calgary, Alberta, Canada time, as applicable) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available for the account of its Lending Office to the Applicable Administrative Agent at its address referred to in
Section 9.9, or such other location as the Applicable Administrative Agent may specify by notice to the applicable Lenders, in Same Day Funds, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing. Promptly upon the
Applicable Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds (but in any event not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time or Calgary, Alberta, Canada time, as applicable) on the date of the proposed Borrowing) and provided that the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III have been satisfied, the Applicable Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Applicable Borrower at its account with such Administrative Agent. 

  
 59 









 (b)    Conversions and Continuations. In order to elect to Convert or
continue Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing, the Applicable Borrower shall: 
 (i)    in case
of a US Borrowing, deliver an irrevocable Notice of Conversion or Continuation to the US Administrative Agent at the US Administrative Agent’s office no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) (A) at least one Business Day in advance of
the proposed Conversion date in the case of a Conversion of such Advances to US Base Rate Advances, and (B) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion or continuation date in the case of a Conversion to, or a
continuation of, Eurocurrency Advances denominated in Dollars; 
 (ii)    in case of a Canadian Borrowing
in Canadian Dollars, or a B/A Borrowing, deliver an irrevocable Notice of Conversion or Continuation to the Canadian Administrative Agent at the Canadian Administrative Agent’s office no later than 12:00 noon (Calgary, Alberta, Canada time)
(A) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Conversion date in the case of a Conversion of such Advances to Canadian Prime Rate Advances or Base Rate Advances, and (B) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed
Conversion or continuation date in the case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of, Eurocurrency Advances or B/A Advances. 
 Each such Notice of
Conversion or Continuation shall be in writing or by telephone or facsimile, and if by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, specifying (A) the requested Conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the
Borrowing amount and Type of the Advances to be Converted or continued, (C) whether a Conversion or continuation is requested, and if a Conversion, into what Type of Advances, (D) in the case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of,
Eurocurrency Advances, the requested Interest Period, and (E) in the case of a Conversion to, or continuation of, B/A Advances, the requested Contract Period. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation under this
paragraph, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall provide each applicable Lender with a copy thereof and, in the case of a Conversion to or a continuation of Eurocurrency Advances, notify each applicable Lender of the applicable interest rate
under Section 2.9(e). For purposes other than the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, the portion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing that are Converted to Advances of another Type
shall constitute a new Borrowing. 
 (c)    Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in paragraphs (a)
and (b) above: 
 (i)    Each US Borrowing shall (A) be in an aggregate amount not less than
$1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof in case of Eurocurrency Advances and in an aggregate amount not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof in case of US Base Rate Advances,
(B) consist of Advances of the same Type made, Converted or continued on the same day by the US Lenders according to their Applicable Percentage, and (C) denominated only in Dollars. 

(ii)    Each Canadian Borrowing shall (A) with respect to Advances in US Dollars, be in an aggregate
amount not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of 

  
 60 









 $100,000, (B) with respect to Canadian Prime Rate Advances, be in an aggregate amount not
less than C$500,000 and in integral multiples of C$100,000, (C) with respect to B/A Advances, be in such minimum amounts required under Section 2.5, (D) consist of Advances of the same Type made, Converted or
continued on the same day by the Canadian Lenders according to their Applicable Percentage, and (E) denominated only in Canadian Dollars. 

(iii)    At no time shall there be more than ten Interest Periods applicable to outstanding Eurocurrency
Advances under the Facilities nor more than five Contract Periods applicable to B/A Advances under the Canadian Facility. 

(iv)    No single Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Advances may include Advances in different
currencies. 
 (v)    Without the consent of all of the Lenders, neither Borrower may select Eurocurrency
Advances for any Borrowing to be made, Converted or continued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

(vi)    Without the consent of all of the Lenders, the Canadian Borrower may not select B/A Advances for
any Borrowing to be made, Converted or continued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

(vii)    If any Lender shall, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing
comprised of Eurocurrency Advances or B/A Advances, notify the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Legal Requirement makes it unlawful, or that any
central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make Eurocurrency Advances or B/A Advances or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency
Advances or B/A Advances, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or take deposits of, Dollars or Canadian Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then
(A) (1) if the requested Borrowing was of US Advances, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Borrowing shall be made as a US Base Rate Advance of such US Lender under the US Facility, (2) if the requested
Borrowing was of Canadian Advances, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Advance of such Lender, (3) in any event, such US Base Rate Advance or Canadian Base Rate
Advance, as applicable, shall be considered part of the same Borrowing and interest on such US Base Rate Advance or Canadian Prime Rate Advance, as applicable, shall be due and payable at the same time that interest on the Eurocurrency Advances or
the face amount of the B/A Advances comprising the remainder of such Borrowing shall be due and payable, and (4) any obligation of such Lender to make, continue, or Convert to, Eurocurrency Advances in the affected currency or currencies, or to
make B/A Advances, including in connection with such requested Borrowing, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer exist; and (B) such Lender agrees to use commercially 

  
 61 









 
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such designation (1) would eliminate
the restriction on such Lender described above, and (2) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. 

(viii)    If (A) the US Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Eurocurrency Rate for
Eurocurrency Advances comprising any requested US Borrowing, or (B) the Canadian Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Eurocurrency Rate for Eurocurrency Advances comprising any requested Canadian Borrowing, the right of the
Applicable Borrower to select Eurocurrency Advances in the affected currency or currencies for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Applicable Administrative Agent shall notify the Applicable Borrower and the
applicable Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each US Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be made, Converted or continued as a US Base Rate Advance, and each Canadian Advance comprising such Borrowing
shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate (C$) Advance. 
 (ix)    If the US Majority Lenders shall, at
least one Business Day before the date of any requested US Borrowing, notify the US Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for Eurocurrency Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or
funding their respective Eurocurrency Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, then the US Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the US Borrower and the US Lenders and the right of the US Borrower to select Eurocurrency Advances
for such US Borrowing or for any subsequent US Borrowing shall be suspended until the US Administrative Agent shall notify the US Borrower and the US Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising
such Borrowing shall be made as a US Base Rate Advance under the US Facility. 
 (x)    If the Canadian
Majority Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Canadian Borrowing, notify the Canadian Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for Eurocurrency Advances or the Discount Rate for the B/A Advances comprising
such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or funding their respective Eurocurrency Advances or B/A Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, then the Canadian Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof
to the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders and the right of the Canadian Borrower to select Eurocurrency Advances or B/A Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Canadian Administrative Agent
shall notify the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Canadian Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Advance. 

(xi)    With respect to any proposed Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Advances denominated in Dollars
and requested or made under the Canadian Facility, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Borrowing any 

  
 62 









 
change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Majority Lenders, make it impracticable for such Borrowing to be denominated in Dollars, then the Canadian Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders, and the
right of the Canadian Borrower to select Eurocurrency Advances in Dollars for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Canadian Administrative Agent shall notify the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders that
the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Advance in Canadian Dollars. 

(xii)    If the Applicable Borrower shall fail to select the duration or continuation of any Interest
Period for any Eurocurrency Advance in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1 and paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Applicable Administrative Agent
will forthwith so notify the Applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders and (A) under the US Facility or the US Facility, such affected Advances will be made available to the US Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as US Base Rate
Advances or, if such affected Advances are existing Advances, will be Converted into US Base Rate Advances at the end of Interest Period then in effect, and (B) if under the Canadian Facility, such affected Advances will be made available to
the Canadian Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as Canadian Prime Rate Advances or, if such affected Advances are existing Advances, will be Converted into Canadian Prime Rate Advances at the end of the Interest Period then in effect. 

(xiii)    If the Canadian Borrower shall fail to select the duration or continuation of any Contract Period
for any B/A Advance in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Contract Period” in Section 1.1, clause (a) and (b) above, and Section 2.5, the Canadian
Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders and such affected B/A Advances will be made available to the Canadian Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as Canadian Prime Rate Advances or, if such
affected B/A Advances are existing Advances, will be automatically Converted into Canadian Prime Rate Advances at the end of the Contract Period then in effect. 

(xiv)    For the avoidance of doubt, Eurocurrency Advances by the Canadian Lenders may only be made in
Dollars. 
 (xv)    US Advances may only be Converted or continued as US Advances, Term Loan Advances may
only be Converted or continued as Term Loan Advances and Canadian Advances may only be Converted or continued as Canadian Advances. 

(xvi)    Swingline Advances may not be Converted or continued. 

(xvii)    Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, no Advance or Letter of Credit may be Converted
or continued as an Advance or Letter of Credit in a 

  
 63 









 
different currency, but instead must be prepaid or cancelled (or defeased with respect to B/A Advances) in the original Designated Currency of such Advance or Letter of Credit and reborrowed or
reissued in such new Designated Currency. 
 (d)    Notices Irrevocable. Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of
Continuation or Conversion delivered by the Applicable Borrower hereunder, including its deemed request for borrowing made under Section 2.3(c) or Section 2.4, shall be irrevocable and binding on
such Borrower. 
 (e)    Lender Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by
it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such
other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 
 (f)    Funding by Lenders; Administrative
Agents’ Reliance. Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Advances or of B/A Advances, or prior to noon on the date of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Advances, that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share
available in accordance with and at the time required in Section 2.6 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of B/A Advances, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by
Section 2.5) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to
the Applicable Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the Applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the Adjusted Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the lesser of (i) the Overnight Rate for such day and (ii) the Maximum Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Applicable Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount and interest as provided above, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement even though not made on the same day as the other Advances
comprising such Borrowing. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent. A notice of the Applicable
Administrative Agent to any Lender or Applicable Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (f) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

Section 2.7    Prepayments; Defeasance. 

(a)    Right to Prepay. No Borrower shall have any right to prepay any principal amount of any Advance except as
provided in this Section 2.7. All notices given pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Applicable Borrower; provided that, if a


  
 64 









 
notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.1(d), then such notice of prepayment
may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(iv). Each payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be made in a manner such that all
Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole or ratably in part other than Advances owing to a Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 2.18. 

(b)    Optional. 

(i)    Each Borrower may elect to prepay any Borrowing (other than Bankers’ Acceptances or B/A
Equivalent Advances, which may, however, be defeased as provided below), in whole or in part, without penalty or premium except as set forth in Section 2.12 and after giving by 12:00 noon (New York City time or Calgary,
Alberta, Canada time as applicable) (i) in the case of Dollar denominated Eurocurrency Advances, at least three Business Days’, (ii) in the case of Canadian Dollar denominated Eurocurrency Advances, at least four Business Days’,
or (iii) in case of Base Rate Advances, one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such prepayment. If any such notice is given, such Borrower
shall prepay Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount specified in such notice, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal
amount prepaid and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.12 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date; provided that (A) each optional prepayment of Eurocurrency Advances shall be in a
minimum amount not less than $1,000,000 and in multiple integrals of $500,000 in excess thereof, (B) each optional prepayment of Base Rate Advances shall be in a minimum amount not less than $500,000 and in multiple integrals of $100,000 in
excess thereof and (C) each optional prepayment of Swingline Advances shall be in a minimum amount not less than $100,000 and in multiple integrals of $50,000 in excess thereof, except as otherwise set forth in any AutoBorrow Agreement. If an
AutoBorrow Agreement is in effect, each prepayment of Swingline Advances shall be made as provided in such AutoBorrow Agreement. 

(ii)    The Canadian Borrower may defease any B/A or B/A Equivalent Advance by depositing with the Canadian
Administrative Agent an amount that, together with interest accruing on such amount to the end of the Contract Period for such B/A or B/A Equivalent Advance, is sufficient to pay such maturing B/As or B/A Equivalent Advances when due. The Applicable
Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.7 and of each Lender’s portion of such prepayment. 

(c)    Mandatory. 

(i)    On each Computation Date the US Administrative Agent shall consult with the Canadian Administrative
Agent regarding the Exchange Rate and the Administrative Agents shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate US Letter of Credit Exposure of US Lenders for Letters of Credit issued in Canadian Dollars, and


  
 65 









 
the aggregate Canadian Outstandings in Canadian Dollars. If, on any Computation Date: (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the US Letter of Credit Exposure of US Lenders for Letters of Credit issued
in Canadian Dollars exceeds the aggregate US Letter of Credit Maximum Amount; or (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Canadian Commitments then in effect; then the US Administrative Agent shall give
notice thereof to the US Borrower and the US Lenders, or the Canadian Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders. Within five Business Days after the Applicable Borrower has received notice
thereof, (A) the Canadian Borrower shall first prepay outstanding Canadian Prime Rate Advances and Eurocurrency Advances, second (if necessary) defease outstanding B/A Advances pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(i)(ii), and
third (if necessary) make deposits into the Canadian Cash Collateral Account, such that after giving effect to such prepayment or provision, the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Outstandings does not exceed the aggregate Canadian Commitments then
in effect or (B) the US Borrower shall Cash Collateralize outstanding US Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such provision, the Dollar Equivalent of the US Letters of Credit that are not Cash Collateralized does not exceed the
Letter of Credit Maximum Amount. 
 (ii)    If the Canadian Dollar ceases to be an Agreed Currency as
provided herein, then promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the notice from the US Administrative Agent provided for in such sentence (A) the Canadian Borrower shall prepay all Canadian Advances funded and
denominated in Canadian Dollars or Convert such US Advances into Advances in Dollars, subject to the other terms set forth in Article II, and (B) no Letter of Credit issued in Canadian Dollars may be renewed without
the consent of the Applicable Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and Majority Lenders. 
 (iii)    If
an increase in the aggregate Commitments is effected as permitted under Section 2.17 the Borrowers shall prepay any Advances outstanding on the date such increase is effected to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding
Advances ratable to reflect the revised Applicable Percentages of the Lenders arising from such increase. Any prepayment made by the Applicable Borrower in accordance with this clause (iii) may be made with the proceeds of Advances made by all
the applicable Lenders in connection such increase occurring simultaneously with the prepayment. 

(d)    Interest; Costs. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be
accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.12 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date. 

Section 2.8    Repayment.

fee rate is stated in this Agreement to be calculated on the basis of a number of days that is other than the number in a calendar year, the yearly rate to which such interest or fee rate is equivalent is equal to such interest or fee rate
multiplied by the actual number of days in the year in which the relevant interest or fee payment accrues and divided by the number of days used as the basis for such calculation. 

Section 2.11    Illegality. If any Lender shall notify a Borrower that the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Lending Office to perform its
obligations under this Agreement to make, maintain, or fund any Eurocurrency Advances or B/A Advances of such Lender then outstanding hereunder, (a) the Applicable Borrower shall, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time or Calgary,

result of such prepayment or defeasance being made on such date, (b) such Lender shall simultaneously make a Base Rate Advance to the Applicable Borrower on such date in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency
Advances prepaid or B/A Advances defeased to such Lender, and (c) the right of the Applicable Borrower to select Eurocurrency Advances or B/A Advances from such Lender for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until such Lender shall
notify the Applicable Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a
different Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

Within 5 Business Days of demand made by any Lender to the Applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent) from time to time, such Borrower shall compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost
or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment (including any
deemed payment or repayment and any reallocated repayment to Non-Defaulting Lenders provided for in Section 2.18) of any Advance other than a Base Rate Advance on a day other than the
last day of the Interest Period for such Advance (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

(b)    any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance) to prepay,
borrow, continue or convert any Advance other than a Base Rate Advance on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower; 

(c)    any payment by such Borrower of reimbursement drawings under any Letter of Credit in a currency other than such
Letter of Credit’s original currency; or 
 (d)    any assignment of a Eurocurrency Advance on a day other than the
last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16; 
 including any loss
of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Advance, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Applicable Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the
Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 2.12, the requesting Lender shall be deemed to have (i) in the case of Eurocurrency Advances, funded such Advance at the Eurocurrency Base Rate used in determining the
Eurocurrency Rate for such Advance by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for the applicable currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Advance was in fact so
funded and (ii) in the case of B/A Advances, made or accepted and purchased such B/A Advance with such Acceptance Fee calculated for a comparable amount and comparable period, whether or not such B/A Advance was in fact so made or accepted and
purchased. Any notice delivered by an Administrative Agent (including on behalf of any Lender providing such notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent) setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be delivered to Applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

 Section 2.13    Increased Costs. 

(a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate) or any Issuing Lender; 

(ii)    subject any Lender or Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit, any Eurocurrency Advance made by it, or any B/A Advance made or accepted and purchased by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or Issuing Lender in
respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.15 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or Issuing Lender); or 

(iii)    impose on any Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or
expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Advances made by such Lender or B/A Advances made or accepted and purchased by such Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Advance or accepting and
purchasing any B/A Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make or accept and purchase any such Advance), or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
request of such Lender or Issuing Lender, the US Borrower will pay to such US Lender or US Issuing Lender, or the Canadian Borrower will pay to such Canadian Lender or Canadian Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b)    Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or
Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in
Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the US Borrower will pay to
such US Lender or US Issuing Lender, or the Canadian Borrower will pay to such Canadian Lender or Canadian Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such
Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c)    Certificates for
Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such 

  
 73 









 
Lender or Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Applicable Borrower shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The Applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Applicable Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

(e)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under this
Section 2.13 then such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of
its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 in the future and (ii) would not
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The US Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any US Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment. The Canadian Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Canadian Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

Section 2.14    Payments and Computations. 

(a)    Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments to be made by the Borrowers under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff; provided that, any Borrower may setoff amounts owing to any Lender that is at such time a Defaulting Lender
against Advances that such Defaulting Lender failed to the fund to such Borrower under this Agreement (the “Unfunded Advances”) so long as (i) such Borrower shall have delivered prior written notice of such setoff to the
Applicable Administrative Agent and such Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Advances made by the Lenders (other than such Defaulting Lender) as part of the original Borrowing to which the Unfunded Advances applied shall still be outstanding and was
made under the same Facility, (iii) if such Defaulting Lender failed to fund Advances under more than one Borrowing, such setoff shall be applied in a manner satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent, and (iv) upon the
application of such setoff, the Unfunded Advances shall be deemed to have been made by such Defaulting Lender on the effective date of such setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on
Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars and Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued in Canadian Dollars, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder 

  
 74 









 
shall be made to the Applicable Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed in Dollars and in Same Day Funds. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars and Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued in Canadian Dollars shall be made to
the Applicable Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, in Canadian Dollars and in Same Day Funds. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Legal Requirement from making any required
payment hereunder in Canadian Dollars, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Dollar payment amount. Subject to Section 2.6(c), each payment of any Advance pursuant to this
Section or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made in a manner such that all Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole or ratably in part. 

(b)    Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agents. Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from the Applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Lenders hereunder that the Applicable Borrower will
not make such payment, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that the Applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders,
as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender, in Same Day Funds 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 Applicable Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate (which interest shall not be borne by the Borrowers). For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Borrower shall continue to be obligated to pay the otherwise applicable interest
on such amounts as and when due under this Agreement. A notice of the Applicable Administrative Agent to any Lender or Applicable Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 (c)    Payment Procedures. The Borrowers shall make each payment of any amount due and payable under this
Agreement and under any other Credit Document not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time or Calgary, Alberta, Canada time, as applicable) on the day when due to the Applicable Administrative Agent at the Applicable Administrative
Agent’s Office (or such other location as the Applicable Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Applicable Borrower) in Same Day Funds. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the US Administrative Agent may require
that any payments due under this Agreement under the US Facility be made in the United States and the Canadian Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement under the Canadian Facility be made in Canada. The Applicable
Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter, and in any event prior to the close of business on the day any timely payment is made, cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably (other than
amounts payable solely to any specific Lender Party pursuant to Section 2.4, Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Section 2.13,
Section 2.15, Section 8.3 and Section 9.1 but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to Section 2.14(f)) in accordance with each
Lender’s Applicable 

  
 75 









 
Percentage to the Lenders for the account of their respective Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of
its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt of other amounts due solely to a specific Lender Party, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute such amounts to the appropriate
party to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(d)    Non-Business Day Payments. Whenever any payment shall be stated to
be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that
if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Advances or B/A Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 

(e)    Computations. Subject to Section 2.10(h), all computations of interest and fees
shall be made by the Applicable Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365/366 days for Base Rate Advances based on the Adjusted Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate (other than Base Rate Advances based on the Federal Funds Rate or a Daily One-Month LIBOR) and a year of 360 days for all other interest and fees, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such
interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Applicable Administrative Agent of an amount of interest or fees shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and
disclosure thereunder, the annual rates of interest to which the rates determined in accordance with the provisions hereof on the basis of a period of calculation less than a year are equivalent, are the rates so determined (a) multiplied by
the actual number of days in the one year period beginning on the first day of the period of calculation, and (b) divided by the number of days in the period of calculation. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to
any interest calculation under this Agreement; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for deemed reinvestment or otherwise. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal
rates and not effective rates. Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation. 

(f)    Sharing of Payments, Etc. 

(i)    If any US Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its US Advances, Term Loan Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its US Advances or Term Loan
Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the US Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the US Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the US Advances, Term Loan Advances and such other obligations of the other US Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall
be shared by the US Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and 

  
 76 









 
accrued interest on their respective US Advances, Term Loan Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that: (A) 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; and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to
(x) any payment made by the US Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender
as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its US Advances, Term Loan Advances or participations in Letter of Credit Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to the US Borrower or any Affiliate thereof
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 
 (ii)    If any Canadian Lender shall, by
exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Canadian Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Canadian Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Canadian Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Canadian Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Canadian Advances and such other obligations of the other Canadian Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so
that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Canadian Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Canadian Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that:
(A) 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; and
(B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Canadian Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from
the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Canadian Advances or participations in Letter of Credit Obligations to any assignee
or participant, other than to the Canadian Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 
 Each Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff
and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

Section 2.15    Taxes. 

(a)    No Deduction for Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party
hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other 

  
 77 









 
Taxes, provided that if any Credit Party shall be required by Legal Requirement to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall
be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Credit Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable Legal Requirement. 
 (b)    Other Taxes. Without limiting the terms set forth in
paragraph (a) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirement. 

(c)    Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Canadian Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Canadian
Administrative Agent, each Canadian Lender and the Canadian Issuing Lender, and the US Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the US Administrative Agent, each US Lender and the US Issuing Lender, in any case, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Administrative Agent, such Lender or such
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (except such expenses, interest and penalties resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by
the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), or by the Applicable Administrative Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of any Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender to demand payment pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such payment; provided that, no Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender shall be indemnified for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes the demand for which is made to the Applicable
Borrower later than one year after the later of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon the applicable Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender for payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such
claims are retroactive, then the one-year period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

(d)    Evidence of Tax Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by
any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of any available receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return (if any) reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent. 

  
 78 









 (e)    Status of Lenders. 

(i)    Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the
law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the Applicable Borrower (with a
copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), prior to the Effective Date (or upon becoming a Lender by assignment or participation) and at any time or times prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement or reasonably requested by the Applicable
Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement or reasonably requested by the Applicable Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Applicable Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable Legal Requirement or reasonably requested by the Applicable Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or such Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements. 
 (ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in
the event that a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the US Borrower and the US Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the
date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the US Borrower or the US Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of
the following is applicable: 
 (A)    duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 

(B)    duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI, 
 (C)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the
benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
(B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code
and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 

(D)    any other form prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement as a basis for claiming exemption from or
a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement to permit the US Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made. 

  
 79 









 (iii)    Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders set
forth above regarding delivery of certain forms and documents to establish each Lender’s status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, each Lender agrees promptly to deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent or the Applicable Borrower, as
the Applicable Administrative Agent or the Applicable Borrower shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Effective Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under any
Legal Requirement of any other jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as are required under such Legal Requirements to confirm such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding
taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender outside of the U.S. by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction. 

(iv)    Each Lender shall promptly notify the Applicable Administrative Agent of any change in
circumstances which would modify or render invalid any such claimed exemption or reduction. 
 (f)    FATCA. In
the case of any Lender Party that would be subject to withholding tax imposed by FATCA on payments made on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder if such Lender Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA
(including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender Party shall provide such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Applicable Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender Party
has complied with such Lender Party’s obligations under FATCA. Each Lender Party shall promptly notify the Applicable Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any such documentation regarding
FATCA. 
 (g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it
has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the
request of such Lender Party agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender Party in the event such Lender Party is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower
or any other Person. 

  
 80 









 (h)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender
requires a Borrower to pay any additional amount to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The US Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any US Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. The Canadian Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by any Canadian Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

Section 2.16    Change of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation
under Section 2.13 or a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (b) any Lender
suspends its obligation to continue, or Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Advances pursuant to Section 2.6(c)(vi) or Section 2.11, (c) any Lender is a
Non-Consenting Lender, or (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender described in the preceding clauses (a) – (d), a “Subject Lender”), then (i) in the
case of a Defaulting Lender, the Applicable Administrative Agent may, upon notice to the Subject Lender and the Applicable Borrower, require such Defaulting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.7), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents as a Lender to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) and (ii) in the case of any Subject Lender, the Applicable Borrower may, upon notice to the Subject Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent and
at the Applicable Borrower’s sole cost and expense, require such Subject Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by,
Section 9.7), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if
a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that, in any event 
 (A)    as to assignments required by
the Applicable Borrower, the Applicable Borrower shall have paid to the Applicable Administrative Agent the assignment processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.7(a)(iv); 

(B)    such Subject Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Advances and participations in outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and funded participations in outstanding Swingline Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.12 other than in the case of a Defaulting Lender) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Applicable Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts); 

  
 81 









 (C)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(D)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Legal Requirements; and 

(E)    in the event such Subject Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender,
each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Subject Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Solely for purposes of effecting any assignment involving a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.16 and to the
extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, each Lender hereby designates and appoints the Applicable Administrative Agent as true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, for and on behalf of and in the name of such Lender to execute, acknowledge and deliver the Assignment and Assumption
required hereunder if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender and such Lender shall be bound thereby as fully and effectively as if such Lender had personally executed, acknowledged and delivered the same. In lieu of the Applicable Borrower or the
Applicable Administrative Agent replacing a Defaulting Lender as provided in this Section 2.16, the Applicable Borrower may terminate such Defaulting Lender’s applicable Commitments as provided in
Section 2.1(d)(iii). 
 Section 2.17    Increase in
Commitments. 
 (a)    At any time prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the
Borrowers may effectuate one or more increases in the aggregate US Commitments and/or the Canadian Commitments (each such increase being a “Commitment Increase”), by designating either one or more of the existing Lenders
(each of which, in its sole discretion, may determine whether and to what degree to participate in such Commitment Increase) or one or more other Eligible Assignees that at the time agree, in the case of any such Eligible Assignee that is an
existing Lender to increase its US Commitment or its Canadian Commitment, as the case may be, as such Lender shall so select (an “Increasing Lender”) and, in the case of any other Eligible Assignee that is not an existing
Lender (an “Additional Lender”), to become a party to this Agreement as a Lender; provided, however, that (i) each such Commitment Increase to the US Commitments shall be equal to at least $10,000,000,
(ii) each such Commitment Increase to the Canadian Commitments shall be equal to at least $5,000,000, (iii) all Commitments and Advances provided pursuant to a Commitment Increase shall be available on the same terms as those applicable to

advance or to commit to advance any credit to any Borrower or to arrange for any other Person to advance or to commit to advance any credit to any Borrower. 

(b)    The Commitment Increase shall become effective on the date (the “Increase Date”) on or

effect to such Commitment Increase, no Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) all representations and warranties made by the Applicable Borrowers in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality
qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), unless such representation or warranty relates to an earlier date which remains true and correct in
all material respects as of such earlier date (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), and (C) the pro
forma compliance with the covenants in Section 6.15 and Section 6.16, after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, and (iv) receipt by the Increasing Lender or Additional Lender, as
applicable, of all such fees as agreed to between such Increasing Lender and /or Additional Lender and the Applicable Borrower. 

(c)    Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, from and after the date of such Commitment

(d)    On such Increase Date, each Lender’s share of the applicable Letter of Credit Exposure on such date shall
automatically be deemed to equal such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Letter of Credit Obligations (such Applicable Percentage for such Lender to be determined as of the Increase Date after giving effect to such Commitment Increase)
without further action by any party.

 Section 2.18    Defaulting Lender
Provisions. 
 (a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirement: 

(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders. 

(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts
received by the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Applicable Administrative
Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Applicable Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to such Administrative Agent and to the other Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, on a pro rata
basis, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ and Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.3(j); fourth, as Applicable Borrower may request (so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent;
fifth, if so determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent and Applicable Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with
respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ and Swingline Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued and
Swingline Advances made under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.3(j); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or
Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata
basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or Letter of Credit Obligations 

  
 84 









 
owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with the Applicable Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or
held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 (iii)    Certain Fees. 

(A)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees for any period during which
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, except to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.3(j). 

(C)    With respect to any letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant
to clause (B) above, the Applicable Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender,
as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay
the remaining amount of any such fee. 
 (iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce
Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations, the US Letter of Credit Obligations, and Swingline Advances, as the case may be, shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in such applicable Facility in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s applicable Commitments) but only to the
extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Applicable Administrative Agent at such time, the
Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), (y) such reallocation does not cause the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of US Advances owing to such Non-Defaulting Lender, plus (2) such Non-Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swingline Advances and US Letters of Credit to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s US Commitment, and (z) such reallocation does not cause sum of (1) the aggregate amount of Canadian Advances owing to such
Non-Defaulting Lender, plus (2) such Non-Defaulting Lender’s 

  
 85 









 
participation in Canadian Letters of Credit to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Canadian Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 

(v)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Advances. If the reallocation
described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Applicable Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, within two Business Days, prepay
Swingline Advances in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, within three Business Days, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.3(i). 
 (b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers,
Applicable Administrative Agents, the Swingline Lender (if the Defaulting Lender is a US Lender) and Applicable Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Applicable Administrative Agent will so notify the
parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at
par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Applicable Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and
Swingline Advances to be held pro rata by the applicable Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to
be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any 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 Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. 

Section 2.19    Overdraft Accommodations under the Canadian Facility. Subject to
the limitations set forth below, Canadian Overdraft Lender is authorized by the Canadian Borrower and all Canadian Lenders, from time to time, to make Canadian Prime Rate Advances to the Canadian Borrower by permitting overdrafts to be created in
favor of any Foreign Credit Party; provided that after giving effect to such advances, the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate Canadian Commitments in effect at such time (any of such advances are herein
referred to as “Canadian Overdraft Accommodations”). If at any time the Canadian Borrower has outstanding any such Canadian Overdraft Accommodations, Canadian Overdraft Lender, in its discretion has the right to require
settlement from the Canadian Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, in which case the Canadian Overdraft Lender shall notify the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Canadian Borrower of same, whereupon the amount of such Canadian
Overdraft Accommodations shall be deemed to be a Canadian Prime Rate Advance and all references to Canadian Prime Rate Advances shall include the Canadian Overdraft Accommodations. The Canadian Overdraft Accommodations shall be secured by the
Canadian Administrative Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral and shall 

  
 86 









 
constitute Canadian Prime Rate Advances, as applicable, and Obligations hereunder. For certainty, notwithstanding Section 2.6(a) or
Section 2.7(b), no Notices of Borrowing or notices of prepayments need be delivered by the Canadian Borrower in respect of Canadian Overdraft Accommodations.

Subsidiary which seeks to adjudicate any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any
Debtor Relief Law, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its Property. 

Section 4.8    Compliance with Agreements. 

(a)    No Restricted Entity is a party to any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or any other types of
agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or corporate restriction or provision of applicable law or governmental regulation the performance of or compliance with which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. No
Restricted Entity is in default under or with respect to any contract, agreement, lease or any other types of agreement or instrument to which any Restricted Entity is a party and which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change. To the knowledge of the Credit Parties, no Restricted Entity is in default under, or has received a notice of default under, any contract, agreement, lease or any other document or instrument to which any Restricted Entity is a party which
is continuing and which, if not cured, could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 

  
 93 









 (b)    No Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 4.9    Pension Plans. (a) Except for matters that could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, all Plans are in compliance with all applicable provisions of ERISA, (b) no Termination Event has occurred with respect to any Plan that would result in an Event of Default under
Section 7.1(j), and, except for matters that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, each Plan has complied with and been administered in accordance with applicable provisions of ERISA and
the Code, (c) no “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred with respect to any Plan, and for plan years after December 31, 2007, no unpaid minimum required contribution exists with
respect to any Plan, and there has been no excise tax imposed under Section 4971 of the Code with respect to any Plan, (d) the present value of all benefits vested under each Plan (based on the assumptions used to fund such Plan) did not,
as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such vested benefits in an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, (e) neither the US
Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan for which there is any unsatisfied withdrawal liability that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change or
an Event of Default under Section 7.1(i), and (f) neither the US Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has incurred any liability as a result of a Multiemployer Plan being in reorganization or insolvent that
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Based upon GAAP existing as of the date of this Agreement and current factual circumstances, no Restricted Entity has any reason to believe that the annual cost during the term of
this Agreement to the US Borrower or any Subsidiary for post-retirement benefits to be provided to the current and former employees of the US Borrower or any Subsidiary under Plans that are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of
ERISA) could, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 

Section 4.10    Environmental Condition. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.10: 
 (a)    Permits, Etc. Each Restricted Entity (i) has obtained all
material Environmental Permits necessary for the ownership and operation of its Properties and the conduct of its businesses; (ii) is and, during the relevant time periods specified under applicable statutes of limitation, has been in material
compliance with all terms and conditions of such Permits and with all other material requirements of applicable Environmental Laws; (iii) has not received written notice of any material violation or alleged material violation of any
Environmental Law or Environmental Permit; and (iv) is not subject to any actual or contingent Environmental Claim which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 

(b)    Certain Liabilities. To each Restricted Entity’s knowledge, none of the present or previously owned or
operated Property of any Restricted Entity or of any Subsidiary thereof, wherever located, (i) has been placed on or proposed to be placed on the National Priorities List, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability
Information System list, or their state or local analogs, or have been otherwise investigated, designated, listed, or identified by a Governmental Authority as a potential site for removal, remediation, cleanup, closure, restoration, reclamation, or
other response activity under any Environmental Laws; (ii) is subject to a Lien, arising under or in connection with any Environmental Laws, that 

  
 94 









 
attaches to any revenues or to any Property owned or operated by any Restricted Entity, wherever located, which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change; or (iii) has
been the site of any Release of Hazardous Substances or Hazardous Wastes from present or past operations which has caused at the site or at any third-party site any condition that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in the need
for Response that could cause a Material Adverse Change. 
 (c)    Certain Actions. Without limiting the
foregoing, (i) all necessary material notices have been properly filed, and no further material action is required under current applicable Environmental Law as to each Response or other restoration or remedial project required to be undertaken
by the US Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the US Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s former Subsidiaries pursuant to any Environmental Law, on any of their presently or formerly owned or operated Property and (ii) the present
and, to the Credit Parties’ knowledge, future liability, if any, of the US Borrower or of any Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to arise in connection with requirements under Environmental Laws is not expected to result in a
Material Adverse Change. 
 Section 4.11    Subsidiaries. As of the Effective
Date, the US Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those listed on Schedule 4.11, each of which is a Restricted Subsidiary hereunder. Each Restricted Subsidiary (including any such Restricted Subsidiary formed or acquired

Section 4.12    Investment Company Act. No Restricted Entity is an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

all material state, provincial, local and foreign tax returns, reports and statements required to be filed (after giving effect to any extension granted in the time for filing) by each Restricted Entity or any member of an affiliated group of such
Restricted Entities as determined under Section 1504 of the Code (hereafter collectively called the “Tax Group”) have been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authorities, and all taxes (which are material in amount)
and other impositions due and payable have been timely paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss may be added thereto for non-payment thereof except where contested in
good faith and by appropriate proceeding. No Restricted Entity nor any member of the Tax Group has given, or been requested to give, a waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes. Proper
and accurate amounts have been withheld (including withholdings from employee wages and salaries relating Canadian Benefit Plans contributions) by the Restricted Entities and all other members of the Tax Group from their employees for all periods to
comply in all material respects with the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable federal, state, provincial, local and foreign law. 

Section 4.14    Permits, Licenses, etc. Each Restricted Entity possesses all
permits, licenses, patents, patent rights or licenses, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names rights, and copyrights which are material to the conduct of its business. Each Restricted Entity manages and operates its business in accordance with
all applicable Legal Requirements except where the failure to so manage or operate could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; provided that this Section 4.14 does not apply with respect to
Environmental Permits. 

  
 95 









 Section 4.15    Use of Proceeds. The
proceeds of the Advances will be used by the Borrowers for the purposes described in Section 6.5. No Credit Party is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within
the meaning of Regulation U). No proceeds of any Advance will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock in violation of Regulation T, U, or X. 

Section 4.16    Condition of Property; Casualties. The
material Properties used or to be used in the continuing operations of the Restricted Entities, taken as a whole, are in good working order and condition, normal wear and tear excepted. Neither the business nor the material Properties of any
Restricted Entity has been affected as a result of any fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, drought, windstorm, accident, strike or other labor disturbance, embargo, requisition or taking of Property or cancellation of contracts, permits or
concessions by a Governmental Authority, riot, activities of armed forces or acts of God or of any public enemy, which effect could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 

Section 4.17    Insurance. Each of Restricted Entity carries insurance (which may
be carried by the US Borrower on a consolidated basis) with reputable insurers in respect of such of their respective Properties, in such amounts and against such risks as is customarily maintained by other Persons of similar size engaged in similar
businesses or, self-insure to the extent that is customary for Persons of similar size engaged in similar businesses. 

Section 4.18    Security Interest. Each Credit Party has authorized the filing of
financing statements sufficient when filed to perfect the Lien created by the Security Documents to the extent such Lien can be perfected by filing financing statements. When such financing statements (or corresponding filings in Canada) are filed
in the offices noted therein, the Applicable Administrative Agent will have a valid and perfected security interest in all Collateral that is capable of being perfected by filing financing statements (or such corresponding filings in Canada)
(excluding, for perfection purposes, the Excluded Perfection Collateral).

 101 









 (f)    After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, if requested by the US Administrative Agent, all proceeds of insurance of any Credit Party, including any casualty insurance proceeds, property insurance proceeds, proceeds from actions, and any other proceeds, shall be paid directly to the

Property of such Restricted Entity and maintain all related permits necessary for the ownership and operation of such Restricted Entity’s Property and business, except in any case where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Change. 
 Section 5.5    Taxes. Each Credit
Party shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay and discharge all material taxes, assessments, and other charges and claims related thereto imposed on the US Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to the date on

Section 5.6    Security. The Company agrees that at all times before the
termination of this Agreement, payment in full of the Obligations (other than reimbursement and indemnity obligations which survive for which the US Borrower has not received a notice of claim), and termination in full of the Commitments, the
Applicable Administrative Agent shall have an Acceptable Security Interest in the applicable Collateral as required below, subject to any permitted releases pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Security Documents, to secure the performance
and payment of the Secured Obligations as set forth in the Security Documents. The Company shall, and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to take such actions, including execution and delivery of any Security Documents necessary to: 

(a)    create, perfect and maintain an Acceptable Security Interest in favor of the US Administrative Agent in the
following Properties, whether now owned or hereafter acquired: (i) all Equity Interests issued by any Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) and held by a Wholly-Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or the US Borrower; (ii) 100% of

Documents, (A) neither the Company nor any Domestic Subsidiary shall be required to grant any security interest in more than 65% of the outstanding Voting Securities in any Foreign Subsidiary and (B) none of the Property of any Foreign
Subsidiary (including the Canadian Borrower) shall ever serve as collateral or other security for the US Facility (including US Letters of Credit and Swingline Advances). 

Section 5.7    Designations with Respect to Subsidiaries.

Section 6.19 as of the date of such designation, both before and after giving effect to such designation, in such detail as is reasonably acceptable to the US Administrative Agent, (iii) if such designation is to make

 Section 7.7    Equity Right to Cure.

 (a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.1, in the event of
any Event of Default under the covenant set forth in Section 6.15 or Section 6.16 and until the expiration of the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date on which financial statements are required
to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or (b) with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter hereunder, the US Borrower may sell or issue common Equity Interests of the US Borrower to any of the Equity
Interest holders (to the extent such transaction would not result in a Change in Control) and apply the Equity Issuance Proceeds thereof to increase consolidated EBITDA of the US Borrower with respect to such applicable quarter (and include it as
consolidated EBITDA in such quarter for any four fiscal quarter period including such quarter); provided that (i) such Equity Issuance Proceeds are actually received by the US Borrower no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on
which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or (b) with respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder and (ii) the amount of such Equity Issuance Proceeds included as

with Section 6.15 and Section 6.16, such Events of Default shall be deemed cured and no longer in existence. 

(b)    The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Section 7.7 may not be relied on for
purposes of calculating any financial ratios or other conditions or compliances other than the Leverage Ratio or Interest Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.15 or Section 6.16 and shall
not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Debt that is prepaid or repaid with the Equity Issuance Proceeds) other than the amount of the consolidated EBITDA referred to in
Section 7.7(a) above for purposes of determining the US Borrower’s compliance with Section 6.15 or Section 6.16. 

(c)    In each period of four fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which no cure set
forth in this Section 7.7 is made. Furthermore, the US Borrower may not utilize more than five cures provided in this Section 7.7. 

Section 7.8    Currency Conversion After Maturity. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement, on the date that there has been an acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or a termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder as a result of any Event of Default, (i) all
Advances and all other Obligations under the US Facility denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be converted into, and all such amounts due thereunder shall accrue and be payable in, Dollars at the Exchange Rate on such date; and (ii) on and

 ARTICLE VIII 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS AND ISSUING LENDERS 

Section 8.1    Appointment, Powers, and Immunities. 

(a)    Appointment and Authority. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby (a) irrevocably appoints HSBC to
act on its behalf as the US Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and HSBC Canada to act on its behalf as the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and (b) authorizes such
Administrative Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Lender Parties, and neither the Company nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood
and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to either Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Legal Requirement. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 

(b)    Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof
as if such Person were not the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. HSBC and HSBC Canada (and any successor acting as US Administrative Agent or as Canadian
Administrative Agent) and their respective Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Subsidiary for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for
the same to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the other Administrative Agent. 
 (c)    Exculpatory Provisions.
Neither Administrative Agent (which term as used in this Section 8.1(c) shall include its Related Parties) shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and
its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Administrative Agent: 

(i)    shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing; 

  
 127 









 (ii)    shall have any duty to take any discretionary action
or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that such Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the US Majority Lenders,
Term Loan Majority Lenders or Canadian Majority Lenders, as applicable (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that neither Administrative Agent shall
be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or Legal Requirement, including for the avoidance of doubt any action
that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 

(iii)    shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to
disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company, any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the US Administrative Agent or
Canadian Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity. 
 Neither Administrative Agent shall be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the US Majority Lenders, Term Loan Majority Lenders or Canadian Majority Lenders, as applicable (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary,
or as such Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 7.1 and 1.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Each Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such
Administrative Agent in writing by the Company, a Lender or an Issuing Lender. In the event that an Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, such Administrative Agent shall (subject to
Section 9.2) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall reasonably be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, unless and until such Administrative Agent shall have received such
directions, such Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Secured Parties. 

Neither Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any recital, statement, warranty
or representation (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the 

  
 128 









 
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the value, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document, (v) the inspection of, or to inspect, the Property (including the books and records) of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Administrative Agent, or (vii) any litigation or collection proceedings (or to initiate or conduct any
such litigation or proceedings) under any Credit Document unless requested by the Majority Lenders in writing and it receives indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders. 

Section 8.2    Reliance by Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender. Each
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document, writing or other communication (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or
by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Credit Extension or any Conversion or
continuance of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, each Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless such Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Credit Extension or Conversion or continuance of an Advance. Each Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel
for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Section 8.3    Delegation of Duties. Each Administrative Agent may perform any and
all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Administrative Agent. Each Administrative Agent and
any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the Facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Neither Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that
a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents. 

Section 8.4    Indemnification. 

(a)    INDEMNITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS. THE LENDERS SEVERALLY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (TO

OF WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, IMPUTED, JOINT OR TECHNICAL), AND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES, PROVIDED THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES,
OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS FOUND IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH
INDEMNITEE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH LENDER AGREES TO REIMBURSE THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS RATABLE SHARE (DETERMINED AS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS
PARAGRAPH) OF (i) ANY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE COUNSEL FEES) INCURRED BY THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION,
EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, OR AMENDMENT, AND (ii) ANY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING COUNSEL FEES) INCURRED BY THE APPLICABLE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, IN ANY EVENT, INCLUDING LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND TO THE EXTENT

 (b)    INDEMNITY
OF ISSUING LENDER. THE LENDERS SEVERALLY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY EACH APPLICABLE ISSUING LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY THE BORROWER), RATABLY ACCORDING TO THE RESPECTIVE
PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS OF THE ADVANCES THEN HELD BY EACH OF THEM (OR IF NO PRINCIPAL OF THE ADVANCES IS AT THE TIME OUTSTANDING, RATABLY ACCORDING TO THE RESPECTIVE APPLICABLE COMMITMENTS HELD BY EACH OF THEM IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE TERMINATION,
EXPIRATION OR FULL REDUCTION OF EACH SUCH COMMITMENT), FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS,

ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY SUCH ISSUING LENDER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT (INCLUDING SUCH INDEMNITEE’S OWN NEGLIGENCE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, IMPUTED, JOINT OR TECHNICAL), AND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES, PROVIDED THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES,
DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS FOUND IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH INDEMNITEE’S
GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 

Section 8.5    Non-Reliance on Administrative
Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender Party acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party also acknowledges and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Administrative Agent or any
other Lender Party or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any
other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender by the
Applicable Administrative Agent hereunder and for other information in the Applicable Administrative Agent’s possession which has been requested by a Lender and for which such Lender pays the Applicable Administrative Agent’s expenses in
connection therewith, the Administrative Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or Issuing Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of any Credit Party or
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Applicable Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. 

Section 8.6    Resignation of Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or Swingline
Lender. 
 (a)    Each Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the other applicable Lender Parties and the Applicable Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, (i) the US Majority Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the US Borrower (which consent
is not required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor US Administrative Agent, (ii) the US Majority Lenders shall have the right,
with the prior written consent of the US Borrower (which consent is not required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to appoint a successor US Issuing
Lender, which 

  
 131 









 
shall be a Lender, and (iii) the Canadian Majority Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Canadian Borrower (which consent is not required if a Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Canadian Administrative Agent and Canadian Issuing Lender. If no such successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender
shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the applicable Majority
Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, may on behalf of the Lenders and Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor agent or issuing lender meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation by an Administrative Agent or an Issuing Lender shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. 

(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition
thereof, the applicable Majority Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, by notice in writing to the Applicable Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the
Applicable Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by applicable Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the applicable Majority
Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 

 
 (c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective
Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except
that (y) in the case of any collateral security held by such Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or an Issuing Lender under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security
until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and (z) the retiring Issuing Lender shall remain the Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding on the effective date of its resignation and the provisions
affecting the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit shall inure to the benefit of the retiring Issuing Lender until the termination of all such Letters of Credit), and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations
provided to be made by, to or through the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall instead be made by or to each applicable class of Lenders, until such time as the applicable Majority Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall be discharged from all
of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or Issuing Lender’s 

  
 132 









 
resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.1 and Section 2.3(h) shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, was acting as US Administrative Agent, Canadian Administrative Agent, US Issuing Lender or Canadian Issuing Lender. 

(d)    The Swingline Lender may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to the US Administrative Agent,
the US Lenders and the US Borrower. After the resignation of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the retiring Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Swingline Lender under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Swingline Advances made by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Advances. Upon such notice of resignation, the US Borrower shall have the
right to designate any other Lender as the Swingline Lender with the consent of such Lender so long as operational matters related to the funding of Advances under the US Facility have been adequately addressed to the reasonable satisfaction of such
new Swingline Lender and the US Administrative Agent (if such new Swingline Lender and the US Administrative Agent are not the same Person). 

Section 8.7    Collateral Matters. 

(a)    Each Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or
further consent from the Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any actions with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain Acceptable Security Interests in and Liens upon the Collateral
granted pursuant to the Security Documents. Each Administrative Agent is further authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Secured Parties, from time to time,
to take any action (other than enforcement actions requiring the consent of, or request by, the Majority Lenders as set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 above) in exigent circumstances as may be
reasonably necessary to preserve any rights or privileges of the Lenders under the Credit Documents or applicable Legal Requirement. 

(b)    The Lenders hereby, and any other Secured Party by accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the
Security Documents, irrevocably authorize each Administrative Agent to (i) release any Lien granted to or held by such Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (a) upon termination of this Agreement, termination of all Hedging Arrangements
with such Persons, termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Issuing Lender have been made), and the payment in full of all outstanding Advances,
Letter of Credit Obligations (other than with respect to Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Issuing Lender have been made) and all other Secured Obligations payable under this Agreement and
under any other Credit Document; (b) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; (c) constituting property in which
no Credit Party owned an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (d) constituting 

  
 133 









 
property leased to any Credit Party under a lease which has expired or has been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not
intended by such Credit Party to be, renewed or extended; and (ii) release a Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty and any other applicable Credit Document if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a
transaction permitted under this Agreement. 
 (c)    Upon request by an Administrative Agent at any time, the Secured
Parties will confirm in writing such Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to this
Section 8.6. Neither Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the
existence, priority or perfection of either Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall either Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Secured Parties or
any other Lender Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 
 (d)    Notwithstanding
anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary, the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agents, and each Secured Party hereby agree that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to
enforce the Guaranties, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Guaranties and under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by Applicable Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in
accordance with the terms hereof and the other Credit Documents. 
 (e)    By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted
pursuant to the Security Documents, each Secured Party hereby agrees to the terms of this Section 8.6. 

Section 8.8    No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in
its capacity, as applicable, as the US Administrative Agent, Canadian Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder. 

Section 8.9    Marshaling Rights of Lender Parties; Allocation of Losses.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary, the Canadian Secured Parties, by receipt of the benefits of the US Collateral, hereby acknowledge the marshaling rights of the US Administrative Agent and US Lenders.
The Canadian Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Canadian Lenders for the Canadian Lenders and its Affiliates that are Swap Counterparties to, and the US Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the US Lenders
for the US Lenders and its Affiliates that are Swap Counterparties to, enter into an intercreditor agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agents addressing certain allocation of losses among the Secured Parties,
as more particularly provided therein. A copy of such intercreditor agreement will be made available to each Secured Party on the Effective Date and thereafter upon request. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees to the terms of such
intercreditor agreement and agrees that the terms thereof shall be binding on such Secured Party and its successors and assigns, as if it were a party thereto.

Credit Party shall assert, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, no Indemnitee shall assert, agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that a claim for indemnity under Section 9.1(b) above, to the extent covered thereby, is a claim of direct or actual
damages. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(d)    Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement hereunder, the agreements in this Section
shall survive the resignation of any Administrative Agent and any Issuing Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit, and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 (e)    Payments. All amounts due under this
Section 9.1 shall, unless otherwise set forth above, be payable not later than 10 days after demand therefor. 

(f)    Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any
amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to any Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any
of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender, the Swingline 

  
 136 









 
Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on
each Lender’s share of the aggregate Maximum Exposure Amount at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any
Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the Lenders of the applicable Facility shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on such
Lenders’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided further that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense,
as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of
any of the foregoing acting for such Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection
(f) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(e). 

Section 9.2    Waivers and Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document (other than the Fee Letter or any AutoBorrow Agreement), nor consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
applicable Majority Lenders and the Applicable Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that: 

(a)    no amendment, waiver, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the US Lenders and the US Borrower (in

Document which expressly requires the consent of, or action or waiver by, all of the Lenders, (v) other than as a result of acceleration pursuant to Article VII,
change the Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loan Facility to a date that is earlier than one day after the then effective Maturity Date with respect to the US Facility and Canadian Facility, amend the amortization schedule thereof to increase
the quarterly installment amounts, or otherwise change any provision hereof which would have the effect of increasing the aggregate amount of Term Loan Advances that are required to be paid in any given year, (vi) release all or substantially

the avoidance of doubt, no Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender shall have any voting rights under this Agreement or any Credit Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under Hedging Arrangements or Banking Services
Obligations. 
 Section 9.3    Severability. In case one or more provisions of
this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Legal Requirement, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall
not be affected or impaired thereby. 

  
 138 









 Section 9.4    Survival of Representations
and Obligations. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by or on behalf of the Credit Parties in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, the making Credit Extensions and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders, none of which investigations shall diminish any Lender’s right to rely on such representations and warranties. Without limiting the provisions
hereof which expressly provide for the survival of obligations, all obligations of any Borrower or any other Credit Party provided for in Section 2.10(f), Section 2.12, Section 2.13,
Section 2.15(c), and Section 9.1(a), (b), (c) and (e) and all of the obligations of the Lenders in Section 8.3, Section 9.1(c) and
Section 9.1(f) shall survive any termination of this Agreement, repayment in full of the Obligations, and termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit. 

Section 9.5    Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Borrowers, and the Administrative Agents, and when the US Administrative Agent shall have, as to each Lender, either received a counterpart hereof executed by such Lender or been notified by such Lender that such Lender has
executed it. 
 Section 9.6    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions
of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender Party or pursuant to a transaction permitted under Section 6.7(a) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except
(a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.7, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.7(c), or (c) by way of pledge
or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.7(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 9.7(e) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Administrative Agent and each Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

Section 9.7    Lender Assignments and Participations. 

(a)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it); provided that 

(i)    except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
applicable Commitment and the Advances under such Commitment at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the applicable
Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding 

  
 139 









 
thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Applicable Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than
$5,000,000 unless the Applicable Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); 

(ii)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Class of Advances or the applicable Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of
its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis; 

(iii)    any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Applicable Administrative Agent, the
Applicable Issuing Lender and, if applicable, the Swingline Lender, unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment under the applicable Facility (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as
an Eligible Assignee); 
 (iv)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Applicable Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee
in the case of any assignment, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and 

(v)    copies of any Assignment and Assumption received by the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be
promptly forwarded to the US Administrative Agent; 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.15(b) and Section 9.1 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;
provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a
Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 

  
 140 









 (b)    Register. The US Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the US Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.9 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
US Lenders, the US Commitments, and principal amounts of the US Advances owing to, each US Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “US Register”). The Canadian Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the Canadian Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.9 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Canadian Lenders, and the Canadian Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Canadian Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Canadian Register”; together with the US
Register, the “Registers”). The entries in the applicable Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers and the Lender Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the applicable Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Each Borrower hereby agrees that the Applicable Administrative Agent acting as its agent solely for the purpose set forth
above in this clause (b), shall not subject either Administrative Agent to any fiduciary or other implied duties, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower. 

(c)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or either
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitments and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers and the Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (a) – (e) of
Section 9.2 (that adversely affects such Participant). Subject to paragraph (d) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the requirements of,
Section 2.12, Section 2.13 and Section 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14(f)(i) as
though it were a Lender. 
 Each US Lender or Term Loan Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the US
Borrower, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of 

  
 141 









 
each Participant’s interest in the Obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”) and no US Lender or Term Loan Lender shall have any obligation
to disclose any information contained in any Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to the Participant’s interests under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to ensure that the rights and obligations reflected in such register, or in any Register, are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such US Lender or Term Loan Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Each Borrower hereby agrees that each US Lender or Term Loan Lender acting as its agent solely for the purpose set forth above in this clause (c), shall not subject such US Lender or Term Loan Lender
to any fiduciary or other implied duties, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower. 
 (d)    Limitations upon
Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Applicable Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 2.15 unless the Applicable Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of such Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15(e),
in which case Section 2.15 shall be applied as if such Participant had become a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that, in no event shall such
Participant be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. 

(e)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

Section 9.8    Confidentiality. Each Lender Party agrees to keep confidential any
information furnished or made available to it by any Restricted Entity pursuant to this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender Party from disclosing such information (a) to any other Lender Party or any Affiliate of
any Lender Party, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or advisor of any Lender Party or Affiliate of any Lender Party for purposes of administering, negotiating, considering, processing, implementing, syndicating, assigning, or evaluating the
credit facilities provided herein and the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) to any other Person if directly incidental to the administration of the credit facilities provided herein, (c) as required by any Legal Requirement,
(d) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (e) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners),
(f) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to any Lender Party other than as a result of a disclosure by any other Lender Party prohibited by this Agreement, (g) in connection with any litigation
relating to this Agreement or any other 

  
 142 









 
Credit Document to which such Lender Party or any of its Affiliates may be a party, (h) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement or
any other Credit Document, and (i) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee, in each case, subject to provisions similar to those contained in this Section 9.8. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY
CONTAINED HEREIN, nothing in this Agreement shall (a) restrict any Lender Party from providing information to any bank or other regulatory or Governmental Authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board and its supervisory staff;
(b) require or permit any Lender Party to disclose to any Credit Party that any information will be or was provided to the Federal Reserve Board or any of its supervisory staff; or (c) require or permit any Lender Party to inform any
Credit Party of a current or upcoming Federal Reserve Board examination or any nonpublic Federal Reserve Board supervisory initiative or action. 

Section 9.9    Notices, Etc. 

(a)    Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by
telephone (and except as provided in paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent
by facsimile as follows: (i) if to the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, or any other Credit Party, at the applicable address (or facsimile numbers) set forth on Schedule II; (ii) if to the US Administrative
Agent, Canadian Administrative Agent, US Issuing Lender or Canadian Issuing Lender, at the applicable address (or facsimile numbers) set forth on Schedule II; and (iii) if to a Lender, to it at its address (or
facsimile number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire. Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be
deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through
electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b). 

(b)    Electronic Communications. 

(i)    The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agents may make any material delivered
by any Borrower to either Administrative Agent, as well as any amendments, waivers, consents, and other written information, documents, instruments and other materials relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any other materials or
matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on an electronic delivery system (which may be
provided by either Administrative Agent, an Affiliate of an Administrative Agent, or any Person that is not an Affiliate of an Administrative Agent), such as IntraLinks, or a substantially similar electronic system (the
“Platform”). The Borrowers acknowledge that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution,
(ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) none of the Administrative 

  
 143 









 
Agents nor any of their respective Affiliates warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or sequencing of the Communications posted on the Platform. The Administrative Agents
and their respective Affiliates expressly disclaim with respect to the Platform any liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading, delays in posting or delivery, or problems accessing the Communications posted on the
Platform and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or liabilities that may be suffered or incurred in connection with the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by either Administrative Agent or any of their respective
Affiliates in connection with the Platform. In no event shall any Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to the Company or the other Credit Parties, any Lender Party or any other Person or entity for damages of any
kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company’s, any Credit Party’s or any Lender Party’s
transmission of communications through the Platform. 
 (ii)    Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as
provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communication has been posted to the Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or
other materials comprising such Communication. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Applicable Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and
(ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 

(c)    Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. 
 Section 9.10    Usury
Not Intended. It is the intent of each Credit Party and each Lender Party in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of
law concepts, governing the Advances of each Lender including such applicable laws of the State of New York, if any, and the United States of America and Canada from time to time in effect, including the Criminal Code (Canada). In furtherance
thereof, the Lender Parties and the Credit Parties stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use,
forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes of this Agreement “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted
for, charged or received under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received or paid on the Advances, include amounts which by applicable Legal
Requirement are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and each Lender receiving same shall credit the same on 

  
 144 









 
the principal of its Obligations (or if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Applicable Borrower). In the event that the maturity of the Obligations are
accelerated by reason of any election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never
include more than the Maximum Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the
applicable Obligations (or, if the applicable Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Applicable Borrower of such interest). In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the Credit Parties and the Lender Parties shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Obligations all amounts
considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with the Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Credit Document, no Credit Party existing under the laws of Canada or any province or territory of Canada shall be obligated to make
any payments of interest or other amounts payable to the Lender Parties in excess of an amount or rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in the receipt by the Lender Parties of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed
under the Criminal Code (Canada). 
 Section 9.11    Usury Recapture. In the
event the rate of interest chargeable under this Agreement at any time is greater than the Maximum Rate, the unpaid principal amount of the Advances shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the
Advances equals the amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued on the Advances if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In the event, upon payment in full of the Advances, the total
amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement and the Advances is less than the total amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had, at all times, been in
effect, then the Applicable Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, pay the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of
(A) the amount of interest which would have been charged on its Advances if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect and (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued on its Advances if the rates of interest set forth in
this Agreement had at all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid under this Agreement on its Advances. In the event the Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate, such
excess amount shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Advances, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to
the Applicable Borrower. 
 Section 9.12    Judgment Currency. If for the
purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto
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 usual and customary banking procedures the US 

  
 145 









 
Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at any of the US Administrative Agent’s offices in the United States of America on the Business Day
preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any Lender Party hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the
extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such
Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Applicable Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender, such Issuing
Lender or such Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under

(present or future, matured or otherwise) of the Canadian Borrower to the Beneficiaries including, without limitation, (i) all of the obligations, indebtedness and liabilities (present or future, absolute or contingent, matured or not) of the

portion hereof and include any agreement supplemental hereto. Unless something in the subject matter or context is inconsistent therewith, references herein to Articles and Sections are to

	1.4	Interest Act (Canada) 

 Whenever a rate of interest
hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for the purposes of

whether in connection with the Credit Agreement, this Guarantee or any unrelated transaction; 

  

	 	(f)	any provision of applicable law purporting to prohibit or limit the payment by the Canadian Borrower of any Obligation, and the foregoing is hereby waived by the Guarantor to the extent permitted under applicable law;

	 	(h)	any release, substitution or addition of any other guarantor of the Obligations;

	 	(k)	any defence arising by reason of the invalidity, illegality or lack of enforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof or of any security or guarantee in support thereof, or by reason of any incapacity, lack of
authority, or other defence of the Canadian Borrower or any other person, or by reason of any limitation, postponement or prohibition on a Beneficiary’s rights to payment, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the
Canadian Borrower or any other person with respect to all or any part of the Obligations (other than irrevocable payment to the Beneficiaries in full, in cash, of the Obligations), or by reason of any act or omission of the Beneficiaries or others
which directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of the Canadian Borrower or any other person or of all or any part of the Obligations or any security or guarantee therefor, whether by contract, operation of law or otherwise;



  
 Exhibit B-5 










	 	(l)	any defence arising by reason of the failure by a Beneficiary to obtain, register, perfect or maintain a Lien in or upon any property of the Canadian Borrower or any other person, or by reason of any interest of the

any other person, including any discharge or bar against collection of any of the Obligations; [or 

  

	 	(q)	[the fact that the Canadian Borrower has a general partnership interest in the Guarantor;] or [Note: Insert subparagraph (p) if applicable.] 


 

	 	(r)	any other law, event or circumstance or any other act or failure to act or delay of any kind by the Canadian Borrower, the Beneficiaries or any other person, which might, but for the provisions of this Section,
constitute a legal or equitable defence to or discharge, limitation or reduction of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, other than as a result of the payment or extinguishment in full of the Obligations. 


The foregoing provisions apply and the foregoing waivers, to the extent permitted under applicable law, shall be effective even if the effect
of any action or failure to take action by the Beneficiaries is to destroy or diminish the Guarantor’s subrogation rights, the Guarantor’s right to proceed against the Canadian Borrower for reimbursement, the Guarantor’s right to

ARTICLE 6.

which the Beneficiaries now have or may hereafter have against the Canadian Borrower in respect of the Obligations, and until such time the Guarantor waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security, now or hereafter held by the
Beneficiaries for the Obligations. 

  

	 	(b)	If (i) the Guarantor performs or makes payment to the Beneficiaries of all amounts owing by the Guarantor under this Guarantee, and (ii) the Obligations are performed and irrevocably paid in full then the
Beneficiaries will, at the Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation and warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of the
Beneficiaries’ interest in the Obligations and any security held therefor resulting from such performance or payment by the Guarantor. 


ARTICLE 7. 

COVENANTS 
  

	7.1	Covenants Contained in the Credit Agreement and Other Documents

 Exhibit B-9 









 ARTICLE 8. 

GENERAL 
  

	8.1	Waiver of Notices 

 The Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence,
presentment, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to this Guarantee and the obligations guaranteed hereunder, except for the demand pursuant to Section 5.1. 

 

	8.2	Benefit of the Guarantee 

 This Guarantee shall enure to the benefit of the
respective successors and permitted assigns of the Beneficiaries and be binding upon the successors of the Guarantor. 
  

	8.3	Foreign Currency Obligations 

 The Guarantor shall make payment relative to each
Obligation in the currency (the “original currency”) in which the Canadian Borrower is required to pay such Obligation. If the Guarantor makes payment relative to any Obligation to the Beneficiaries in a currency (the
“other currency”) other than the original currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or judgment of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction), such payment shall constitute a discharge of the liability of the
Guarantor hereunder in respect of such Obligation only to the extent of the amount of the original currency which the Beneficiaries are able to purchase with the amount of other currency they receive on the date of receipt in accordance with normal
practice. If the amount of the original currency which the Beneficiaries are able to purchase is less than the amount of such currency originally due in respect of the relevant Obligation, the Guarantor shall indemnify and save the Beneficiaries
harmless from and against any 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 Guarantee, shall give rise to a separate and
independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Beneficiaries and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any judgment or
order. A certificate of a Beneficiary as to any such loss or damage shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof, in the absence of manifest error. 
  

	8.4	Taxes and Set-off by Guarantor 

 All
payments by the Guarantor under this Guarantee, whether in respect of principal, interest, interest on overdue and unpaid interest, fees or any other Obligations, shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding (whether in respect of set-off, counterclaim, duties, Taxes, charges or otherwise whatsoever) unless the Guarantor is prohibited by applicable laws from doing so, in which event the Guarantor shall: 

 

	 	(a)	ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required; 


  
 Exhibit B-10 










	 	(b)	forthwith pay to the Beneficiaries such additional amount so that the net amount received by the Beneficiaries will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been
made; 

  

	 	(c)	pay to the relevant taxation or other authorities, within the period for payment required by applicable laws, the full amount of the deduction or withholding (including the full amount of any deduction or withholding
from any additional amount paid pursuant to this Section); and 

  

	 	(d)	furnish to the Beneficiaries promptly, as soon as available, an official receipt of the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts deducted or withheld as aforesaid. 


 

	8.5	No Waiver; Remedies 

 No failure on the part of the Beneficiaries to exercise, and
no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude the other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
  

	8.6	Severability 

 If any provision of this Guarantee is determined to be invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or part thereof and the remaining part of such provision and all other provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect. 

 

	8.7	Amendments and Waivers 

 Any provision of this Guarantee may be amended, waived or
a consent given in respect thereof with the concurrence of the Guarantor and the Canadian Administrative Agent on behalf of the Beneficiaries in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement. Any waiver and any consent by the Canadian
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Beneficiaries under any provision of this Guarantee must be in writing signed by the Canadian Administrative Agent and may be given subject to any conditions thought fit by the Canadian Administrative Agent
acting reasonable. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the instance and for the purpose for which it is given. 
  

	8.8	Additional Security 

 This Guarantee is in addition and without prejudice to any
security of any kind (including, without limitation, other guarantees) now or hereafter held by the Beneficiaries and any other rights or remedies they might have. 

  
 Exhibit B-11 










	8.9	Notices

 SCHEDULE I 

PRICING SCHEDULE 

The Applicable Margin with respect to Commitment Fees and Advances (including, if applicable, Swingline Advances) shall be determined in
accordance with the following Table based on the US Borrower’s Leverage Ratio as reflected in the Compliance Certificate delivered in connection with the financial statements most recently delivered pursuant to Section 5.2. Adjustments, if
any, to such Applicable Margin shall be effective on the date the US Administrative Agent receives the applicable financial statements and corresponding Compliance Certificate as required by the terms of this Agreement. If the US Borrower fails to
deliver the financial statements and corresponding Compliance Certificate to the US Administrative Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 5.2, then effective as of the date such financial statements and Compliance Certificate were
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.2, the Applicable Martin with respect to Commitment Fees and Advances shall be determined at Level VI and shall remain at such level until the date such financial statements and corresponding
Compliance Certificate are so delivered by the US Borrower. Initial pricing will be set at the level based on the US Borrower’s actual Leverage Ratio based on the pro forma compliance certificate delivered on the Closing Date (which is expected
to be at Level III until the delivery of the compliance certificate and accompanying financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2014). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the determination of
the Applicable Margin for any period shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(f). For the voidance of doubt, the levels on the pricing grid set forth below are set forth from lowest (Level I) to the highest (Level VI).
