 WHEREAS, pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Master Facility Agreement dated as of December 14, 2007 between the Principal and EDC (the “Facility
Agreement”), EDC agreed to provide Support for the benefit of the Principal and its affiliates, subject to the terms and conditions of the Facility Agreement;

and certain consequences of the Filing Event, including the inability to make certain representations pertaining to certain tax obligations and tax compliance matters related to such United Kingdom and United States proceedings (the “Filing
Consequences”), constitute or might constitute Defaults and Events of Default under the terms and conditions of the Facility Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS the Principal and EDC entered into an Agreement dated as of January 14, 2009 (the “Original Agreement”) pursuant to which EDC agreed, among other things, that, for a period of 30 days following the date of the
Initial Order obtained by the Principal under the CCAA, new Support would continue to be made available to the Principal under the Facilities, notwithstanding the existence of the Rating Events and the Filing Event, to an aggregate maximum amount of
USD 30 million; and
