restated and/or supplemented) shall, except where the context otherwise requires and save where otherwise defined herein, have the same meanings in this Agreement, including the recitals hereto and this Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with the interpretation provisions set out in Section 2 of that Master Definitions and Construction Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, this Agreement has the same meaning as Bank Account Agreement in the Master Definitions
and Construction Agreement.

	 The Transaction Account and the GDA Account 



 

	 2.1
	 Instructions from the Cash Manager 


 Subject to Sections 2.4 and 5.3, the Account Bank shall comply with any direction of the Cash Manager given on a Canadian Business Day to effect a payment by debiting any one of the Guarantor
Accounts held with the Account Bank if such direction (i) is in writing, is given by telephone and confirmed in writing not later than close of business on the day on which such direction is given, or is given by the internet banking service
provided by the Account Bank and (ii) complies with the Transaction Account and GDA Account Mandate as appropriate (such direction shall constitute an irrevocable payment instruction). 

 

	 2.2
	 Timing of Payment 


 The Account Bank agrees that, in the case of the Guarantor Accounts, if directed pursuant to Section 2.1 to make any payment then, subject to Sections 2.4 and 5.3, it will effect the payment
specified in such direction not later than the day specified for payment therein and for value on the day specified therein provided that, if any direction specifying that payment be made on the same day as the direction is given is received later
than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any Canadian Business Day, the Account Bank shall make such payment at the commencement of business on the following Canadian Business Day for value that day. 

 

	 2.3

 The charges of the Account Bank for the operation of each of the Guarantor Accounts held with the Account Bank shall be debited to the GDA Account only on each Guarantor Payment Date in accordance with
the relevant Priorities of Payments, and the Guarantor by its execution hereof irrevocably agrees that this shall be done. The charges shall be payable at the same rates as are generally applicable to the business customers of the Account Bank
provided that, subject to Section 7.5, if there are insufficient funds standing to the credit of the GDA Account to pay such charges, the Account Bank shall not be relieved of its obligations in respect of any of the Guarantor Accounts held
with it. 
  

	 2.4
	 No Negative Balance 


 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, amounts shall only be withdrawn from any Guarantor Account held with the Account Bank to the extent that such withdrawal does not cause the relevant

relating to the Guarantor Accounts held with that Account Bank (other than a change of Authorized Signatory) and shall require the prior written consent of the Bond Trustee to any such amendment or revocation (other than a change of Authorized
Signatory) but, unless such Mandate is revoked, the Account Bank may continue to comply with such Mandate (as it may from time to time be amended in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2) unless it receives notice in writing from
the Bond Trustee to the effect that an Guarantor Acceleration Notice has been served on the Guarantor or that the appointment of Bank of Montreal as Cash Manager under the Cash Management Agreement has been terminated and shall, thereafter, act

 - 3 -










	 	 (e)
	 agrees that it will notify the Cash Manager, the Guarantor and the Bond Trustee if compliance with any instruction would cause the Guarantor
Account(s) held with it to which such instruction relates to have a negative balance, such notification to be given on the same Canadian Business Day that it determines that compliance with such instruction would cause any such account to have a
negative balance; and 


  

	 	 (f)

interest and benefit, present and future, in and to, all sums from time to time standing to the credit of the Guarantor Accounts held with it and all of its rights under this Agreement to the Bond Trustee and that the Bond Trustee may enforce such
rights in the Bond Trustee’s own name without joining the Guarantor in any such action (which right the Account Bank hereby waives) and the Account Bank hereby waives as against the Bond Trustee any rights or equities in its favour arising from
any course of dealing between the Account Bank and the Guarantor.

available funds then standing to the credit of the Guarantor Accounts held with the Account Bank against any loss, cost, damage, charge or expense properly incurred by the Account Bank or the Bond Trustee, as the case may be, in complying with any

(b) that the appointment of Bank of Montreal as Cash Manager under the Cash Management Agreement has been terminated, all right, authority and power of the Cash Manager in respect of each of the Guarantor Accounts held with it shall be
terminated and be of no further effect and the Account Bank agrees that it shall, upon receipt of such notice from the Bond Trustee, comply with the directions of the Bond Trustee or any successor cash manager appointed by the Bond Trustee (subject
to such successor cash manager having entered into an agreement with it on substantially the same terms as this Agreement) in relation to the operation of each of the Guarantor Accounts held with it, and the Account Bank will have no liability
