 A. TIM HORTONS INC. (the “Borrower”) has requested the Revolving Credit described herein and the Lenders have agreed to
provide same upon and subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement; 
 NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE 1 
 DEFINITIONS 
 1.1 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have
the meanings specified below: 
 “Acceptance Fee” means a fee payable by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent for the account of a Lender in Canadian Dollars with respect to the acceptance of a B/A or the making of a B/A Equivalent Loan, calculated on the face amount of the B/A or the B/A Equivalent Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable
Margin from time to time in effect on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Contract Period (including the date of acceptance and excluding the date of maturity) and a year of 365 or 366 days, (it being agreed that the Applicable
Margin in respect of a B/A Equivalent Loan is equivalent to the Applicable Margin otherwise applicable to the B/A Borrowing which has been replaced by the making of such B/A Equivalent Loan pursuant to Section 2.11(h)). 

“Accordion Amount” has the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 2.1(b). 

“Acquisition” means any transaction, or any series of related transactions, consummated after the Closing Date, by which

only that function) as the Persons listed in paragraph (i). 







 “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, another Person that
directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with, such Person.

“Applicable Lender” means, with respect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, each Revolving Credit Lender. 

“Applicable Leverage Ratio” means, at any time, the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA at such
time. 
 “Applicable Margin” means, on any date, the applicable rate per annum, expressed as a percentage, set
out in the relevant column and row of the table below, determined by reference to the Applicable Leverage Ratio as set forth below, provided that, so long as the Borrower maintains a rating of its Rated Debt from at least one (1) of
Moody’s, S&P and DBRS, the Applicable Margin will be determined by reference to such rating or ratings on such date for the Rated Debt.

 For so long as the Applicable Margins are determined by reference to the Applicable Leverage Ratio, the Applicable
Margins will change (to the extent necessary, if any) on each date on which the financial statements of the Borrower are publicly filed and the certificate of the Borrower is delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.1 to
reflect any change in the Applicable Leverage Ratio effective as of the date of such financial statements, based upon the financial statements for the immediately preceding Rolling Period, or if such day is not a Business Day, then the first
Business Day thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Borrower fails to publicly file its financial statements or deliver to the Administrative Agent the certificate of the Borrower as required by Section 5.1 on or before
the date required pursuant to Section 5.1 (without regard to grace periods), the Applicable Margins will be the highest margins provided for in the above grid from the date such financial statements are due pursuant to Section 5.1 (without
regard to grace periods) through the date all financial statements to be provided pursuant to Section 5.1 have been publicly filed and all certificates that are then due pursuant to Section 5.1 have been delivered to the Administrative
Agent. At any time when the Applicable Margins are determined by reference to the debt rating or ratings for the Rated Debt, (i) if there are two ratings and the ratings established or deemed to have been established for the Rated Debt shall
fall within different categories, the Applicable Margins shall be based on the higher of the two applicable ratings, unless one of the two ratings is two or more categories lower than the other, in which


  
 – 2
– 








 
case the Applicable Margins shall be determined by reference to the category next below that of the higher of the two ratings. If there are three ratings, one of which is higher or lower than the
other two, such higher or lower rating shall be disregarded. If there are three ratings and each are at a different level, the Applicable Margins shall be determined by reference to the middle of the three ratings; and (ii) if the rating or
ratings established or deemed to have been established for the Rated Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s, S&P or DBRS), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first
announced by the applicable rating agency, irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.1 or otherwise. Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply
during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change, provided that no such change shall affect the Applicable Margin for any outstanding
Bankers’ Acceptance until the end of the then-current Contract Period for such Bankers’ Acceptance. If the rating system of Moody’s, S&P or DBRS shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of
rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of
any such amendment, the Applicable Margins shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing by reference to the rating of the Rated Debt by those of Moody’s, S&P and DBRS whose rating system has not changed and who continue to be in the
business of rating corporate debt obligations or, if there is no such rating of the Rated Debt by any of Moody’s, S&P and DBRS, then the Applicable Margins shall be determined by reference to the Applicable Leverage Ratio of the Borrower.
If at any time after the time when the Applicable Margins are determined by reference to the debt rating or ratings for the Rated Debt, the Borrower ceases to have a rating of its Rated Debt from at least one (1) of S&P, Moody’s and
DBRS, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the Applicable Leverage Ratio. 
 “Applicable
Percentage” means, with respect to any Revolving Credit Lender, the percentage of the total Revolving Credit Commitments represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that in the case of Section 2.21 when a
Defaulting Lender shall exist, “Applicable Percentage” shall mean the percentage of the total Commitments (disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) represented by such Lender’s Commitment. If any Commitments have
terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, after giving effect to any assignments and to any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of determination.

 “Approved Fund” means (a) a CLO, and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund which invests
in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit and is advised or managed by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

faith determination of the Administrative Agent, has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any such proceeding or appointment, provided that a Bankruptcy Event shall not result solely by
virtue of any ownership interest, or the acquisition of any ownership interest, in such Person by a Governmental Authority or instrumentality thereof, provided, further, that such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Person with
immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within Canada or the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Person (or such Governmental Authority or instrumentality) to reject, repudiate,
disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made by such Person.

Dollars or U.S. Dollars (each such Loan made under this Section 2.1(a), a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Maturity Date (each such
commitment, as it may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.6, and as it may be reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to assignments by or to such Lender pursuant to Section 9.4, and as such commitments may be
increased under the Commitment Increase Right, a “Revolving Credit Commitment”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount set forth beside such Lender’s name in Schedule A under the heading “Revolving Credit
Commitments”, or as it may appear in the applicable Assignment and Assumption, provided that any Revolving Loans made by any Lender as requested by the Borrower will not result in (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving
Credit Exposure exceeding such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, including Section 2.7(b), the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.2(b) by giving notice in the manner required by Section 2.3.

provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that the Borrower is in compliance with the financial covenants in Section 5.10 both before and immediately after giving effect to the requested Commitment increase, the
Borrower shall have the right (the “Commitment Increase Right”) to request that the Lenders or any other Persons increase the Revolving Credit Commitments, by an aggregate of up to Cdn. $400,000,000, subject to a minimum increase of
Cdn.$10,000,000 (the “Accordion Amount”). Each Lender shall have the option to provide its Applicable Percentage of any increase made under this Section 2.1(b). Any Lender which does not advise the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, within 15 days of the applicable Commitment increase request, that such Lender will provide its Applicable Percentage of such Commitment increase request will be deemed to have declined to provide its Applicable Percentage of
such Commitment increase request. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) in exercising the
Commitment Increase Right, the Borrower shall not require the consent of any Lender other than any Lender providing all or part of the requested Commitment increase, and (ii) no Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any requested
Commitment increase unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. 
 (d) Any such Commitment increase shall be documented

more Debt Issuances on or after the Closing Date, the Accordion Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the cash proceeds of each such Debt Issuance (net of reasonable, bona fide transaction costs and expenses directly related
thereto); provided that if the net cash proceeds from any such Debt Issuance or Debt Issuances exceeds in the aggregate, the then current Accordion Amount, the Accordion Amount shall be reduced to zero and the Commitment Increase Right
terminated. 
 2.2 Loans and Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage. The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other
Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

– 








 (b) Subject to Section 2.16, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of
Prime Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, B/A Equivalent Loans, Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender may at its option make any LIBO Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that a Lender may only exercise such option if it shall not result in any increased costs or withholding tax obligations for the Borrower or affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any LIBO Rate
Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of U.S.$100,000, and not less than U.S.$5,000,000. At the time that each Prime Revolving Borrowing or Base Rate Revolving Borrowing is made, such

of U.S.$100,000 and not less than U.S.$1,000,000; provided that a Prime Revolving Borrowing or a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total applicable Commitments. Borrowings

 2.3 Requests for Borrowings 

(a) To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by written Borrowing Request (A) in
the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (B) in the case of a B/A Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. two Business Days before the date of the proposed

case of a Prime Borrowing) or U.S. $10,000,000. (in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing), and (ii) on the date of the proposed Borrowing where such Borrowing is in an amount that is equal to or less than Cdn $10,000,000 (in the case of a Prime
Borrowing), or U.S. $10,000,000 (in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing) or, (D) in any other case, not later than one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such borrowing request shall be irrevocable. The Administrative
Agent and each Lender are entitled to rely and act upon any borrowing request or written Borrowing Request given or purportedly given by the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the authenticity and validity of any such
request or resulting transaction once the Administrative Agent or any Lender has advanced funds, accepted a B/A or made a B/A Equivalent Loan based on such borrowing request or written Borrowing Request. Each such written Borrowing Request shall
specify the following information: 
  

	 	(i)	the aggregate amount and currency of each requested Borrowing; 

  

	 	(ii)	the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

	 	(iv)	in the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term
“Interest Period”, and in the case of a B/A Borrowing, the initial Contract Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Contract Period”; and


  

	 	(v)	the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply herewith. 


  
 – 22
– 








 (b) If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing
shall be a Prime Borrowing (if denominated in Canadian Dollars) or a Base Rate Borrowing (if denominated in U. S. Dollars). If no currency is specified, the Borrowing shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars. If no Interest Period is specified with
respect to any requested LIBO Rate Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no Contract Period is specified with respect to any requested B/A Borrowing, then the Borrower shall
be deemed to have selected a Contract Period of one month duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.3, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the
amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 (c) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the
Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert a Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of (i) a LIBO Rate Borrowing, may elect a new Interest Period
therefor, or (ii) a B/A Borrowing, may elect a new Contract Period therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.3(c). The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each
such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.3(c), the
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3(a) if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the
effective date of such election. Each such request shall be irrevocable. In addition to the information specified in Section 2.3(b), each written Borrowing Request shall specify the Borrowing to which such request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing. For greater certainty, if a Borrowing is being converted from a Borrowing in one currency to a Borrowing in
another currency, the conversion will be effected by way of repayment of the original Borrowing and re-advance of the new Borrowing, and not merely by way of book entry. 
 (d) In the absence of a timely and proper election with regard to (i) LIBO Rate Borrowings, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBO Rate Borrowings to Base Rate Borrowings
on the last day of the Interest Period of the relevant LIBO Rate Borrowings, and (ii) B/A Borrowings, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such B/A Borrowings to Prime Borrowings on the last day of the Contract Period of the
relevant B/A Borrowings. 
 2.4 Funding of Borrowings 
 (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the basis of its Applicable Percentage applicable to such Loan on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available
funds by 12:00 noon, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so
received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, or to such other account with another financial institution as may be designated by
the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request (which Borrowing Request may, for greater certainty, refer to standing instructions provided in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent from time to time). 

  
 – 23
– 








 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior
to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with Section 2.4(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall seek repayment of such corresponding amount from the applicable Lender with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, at the rate of interest customary for interbank compensation in such currency. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute
such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If the Administrative Agent makes such Lender’s share of such Borrowing available to the Borrower, and if such Lender’s share of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative
Agent by such Lender within one (1) Business Day after such date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon as set forth in this Section 2.4(b) from the Borrower. 

2.5 Interest and Acceptance Fees. 
 (a) The Loans comprising each Prime Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum
equal to the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin. The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the
case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin. The Loans comprising each LIBO Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant
Interest Period over a year of 360 days) at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such LIBO Rate Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each B/A Borrowing shall be subject to the Acceptance Fee which shall be payable as set out in Section 2.11. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any amount of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder
shall not be paid when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (A) in the case of overdue principal and interest of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such
Loan, or (B) in the case of any amount not constituting principal of or interest on a Loan, at a rate equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Prime Loans; and (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred that is continuing other than
an Event of Default covered in subparagraph (i) above, then, at the request of the Required Lenders, all amounts due and payable hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate
otherwise applicable to Prime Loans for so long as the Event of Default is continuing. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan
(other than B/A Borrowings) shall be payable in arrears on (i) each applicable Interest Payment Date, and (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that interest
accrued under paragraph (c) above shall be payable on demand. In addition, in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment. 

  
 – 24
– 








 (e) All interest hereunder shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day). Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. The applicable Prime Rate, Base Rate, LIBO Rate or Discount Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent,
and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (f) For the purposes of the Interest Act
(Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such
calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates,
and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. 
 (g) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited
by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be
deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”,
such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest or the amount or rate of any Acceptance Fee required to be paid to the affected Lender under Section 2.5; and


  

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

 2.6 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

 (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 

(b) The Borrower may, upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, permanently cancel any unused
portion of the Revolving Credit, without penalty. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such notice. Any such cancellation shall be applied ratably in respect of
the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments of each Revolving Credit Lender. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall be irrevocable. 
 2.7 Mandatory Repayment of Loans. 
 (a) Subject to earlier payment
otherwise required hereunder, including pursuant to Section 2.7(b), the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Loan made to it and outstanding on the Maturity Date. 

  
 – 25
– 








 (b) If the Borrower shall at any time or from time to time raise funds by way of one or more
Debt Issuances on or after the Closing Date, 100% of the cash proceeds of any Debt Issuance (net of reasonable bona fide transaction costs and expenses directly related thereto) shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders in repayment of the outstanding Loans, including all accrued interest thereon; provided that if the then outstanding Loans and interest thereon is an amount which is less than 100% of such net cash proceeds from such Debt Issuance,
the net cash proceeds to be paid to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be limited to an amount which is equal to the then outstanding Loans and all interest thereon. Amounts required to be repaid as a mandatory repayment under this
Section 2.7(b) from the net cash proceeds of an initial Debt Issuance (the “Initial Debt Issuance”) on or following the Closing Date may be reborrowed by the Borrower, subject to the terms hereof, including Section 4.2.
Amounts required to be repaid as a mandatory repayment under this Section 2.7(b) from the net cash proceeds of any Debt Issuance subsequent to the Initial Debt Issuance (each a “Subsequent Debt Issuance”), shall be applied as a
permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit and may not be reborrowed. If the net cash proceeds from any Subsequent Debt Issuance required to be paid as a mandatory repayment hereunder is sufficient to repay the outstanding Loans in full, each
Lenders’ Commitment and the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be permanently reduced to zero and cancelled and the Revolving Credit (including the Commitment Increase Right) terminated. If 100% of the net cash proceeds of any Subsequent Debt
Issuance is not sufficient to repay the outstanding Loans in full, immediately following the mandatory repayment required hereunder, the then unused portion of the Revolving Credit shall be permanently cancelled (such cancellation to be applied
ratably in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments of each Revolving Credit Lender), and thereafter any Loans which remain outstanding, if repaid prior to the Maturity Date, may not be reborrowed, and the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be
permanently reduced by an amount equal to each such repayment. Mandatory repayments required pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent within two (2) Business Days of the closing of the
applicable Debt Issuance. 
 2.8 Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each extension of credit made by such
Lender hereunder, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain, with respect to the Borrower, accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each
Borrowing made hereunder, the class and Type thereof and, in the cases of Bankers’ Acceptances or LIBO Rate Loans, the relevant Contract Period or Interest Period, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.8(a) and (b) shall be conclusive evidence (absent manifest
error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay the Borrowings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the records maintained by an Administrative Agent and any Lender, the records maintained by the Administrative Agent shall govern.

 (d) Any Lender may request that Loans (other than B/As) made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the
Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.4 be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee
named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

 2.9 Prepayments. 
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Revolving Loans, without penalty or premium, (but subject to payment of any amounts payable
under Section 2.14), in whole or in part, upon giving three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Borrower may not prepay any B/A Borrowing but may defease any
B/A Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.11. Such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Prime Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, B/A Equivalent Loans, Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, or any
combination thereof, and, in each case if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Applicable Lender of the contents thereof and of such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 and
accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid in accordance with Section 2.5(d). Each voluntary prepayment of any Canadian Dollar-denominated Revolving Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of Cdn.$5,000,000 and in an
integral multiple of Cdn.$100,000; and each voluntary prepayment of any U.S. Dollar-denominated Revolving Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of U.S.$5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of U.S.$100,000. 

(b) Currency Fluctuations. If the Administrative Agent determines on any day, solely by reason of currency fluctuations, that the
Canadian $ Equivalent of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower exceeds 105% of the Commitments of the Lenders (the amount by which Loans outstanding exceed 100% of the Commitments on such day being referred to in this Section as the
“Excess Amount”), then, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the Excess Amount, upon the earlier of three (3) Business Days written
notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of such Excess Amount, and the date of any conversion or rollover of an existing Borrowing to the extent the Administrative Agent has determined that an Excess Amount is outstanding on such date.
The Lenders shall apply the amount of any such payment first on account of the repayment of the principal amount of any outstanding Base Rate Loans until all such Base Rate Loans shall have been paid in full, then on account of any outstanding LIBO
Rate Loans until all such LIBO Rate Loans shall have been paid in full. 
 (c) Notice by Borrower. Each notice provided
by the Borrower hereunder in respect of any prepayment hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. 

2.10 Fees. 
 (a) The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of and distribution to each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a standby fee for the period commencing on the Closing Date to and including the Maturity
Date or such earlier date as the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have been terminated entirely (in this Section 2.10(a), the “termination date”). The standby fees on the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be payable in arrears on
each Quarterly Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the termination date, and shall be calculated at the then applicable rate per annum as set out in the definition of Applicable Margin (in the column
of the table therein titled “Standby Fee”) on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, during the Fiscal Quarter immediately preceding such Quarterly Date or during the Fiscal Quarter to the termination date, as
the case may be. All standby fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

  
 – 27
– 








 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees
payable in the amounts and at the times as set forth in any Fee Letter. 
 (c) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the
dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of Standby Fees, to the applicable Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable except in the case of manifest error in the calculation of any fee
payment. 
 2.11 Bankers’ Acceptances. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may request a Borrowing by presenting drafts for acceptance and purchase as B/As by the Lenders. 

(b) No Contract Period with respect to a B/A to be accepted and purchased under the Revolving Credit shall extend beyond the Maturity
Date. 
 (c) To facilitate availment of B/A Borrowings, the Borrower hereby appoints each Lender as its attorney to sign
and endorse on its behalf (in accordance with a Borrowing Request relating to a B/A Borrowing), in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Lender, blank forms of B/As in the form requested by such
Lender. In this respect, it is each Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. The Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed and/or endorsed by a Lender on behalf
of the Borrower shall bind the Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of the Borrower. Each Lender is hereby authorized (in accordance with a Borrowing Request relating to
a B/A Borrowing) to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Lender; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of B/As required to be accepted and purchased by such
Lender. No 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 wilful misconduct of the Lender or its officers, employees, agent or
representatives. Each Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (i) received by it in blank hereunder, (ii) voided by it for any reason, (iii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and (iv) cancelled at their
respective maturities. On request by or on behalf of the Borrower, a Lender shall cancel all forms of B/A which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Borrower and which are held by such Lender and are not required to be issued in
accordance with any Borrowing Request made by the Borrower in respect of a B/A Borrowing. Alternatively, the Borrower agrees that, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a “depository
note” which complies with the requirements of the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada), and consents to the deposit of any such depository note in the book-based debt clearance system maintained by the Canadian Depository for
Securities. 
 (d) Drafts of the Borrower to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall be signed as set out in this
Section 2.11. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any B/A may no longer be an authorized signatory for any Lender or the 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 Borrower. 
 (e) Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request specifying a Borrowing by way of B/As, the Administrative Agent shall so advise the Lenders and shall advise each 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 Lenders). In the case of B/A Borrowings under the Revolving Credit, the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by the Lenders shall be in
a minimum aggregate amount of Cdn.$5,000,000 and shall be a whole multiple of Cdn.$100,000, and such face amount shall be in the Revolving Credit Lenders’ pro rata portions of the Borrowing, provided that the Administrative Agent may, in
its sole discretion, increase or reduce any Revolving Credit Lender’s portion of such B/A Borrowing to the nearest Cdn.$1,000 provided that no Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be thereby exceeded. 

  
 – 28
– 








 (f) Upon acceptance of a B/A by a Lender, such Lender shall purchase, or arrange for the
purchase of, each B/A from the Borrower at the Discount Rate for such Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds for the account of the Borrower. The Acceptance Fee payable by the
Borrower to a Lender under Section 2.5 in respect of each B/A accepted by such Lender shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable by such Lender under this Section 2.11. 

(g) Each 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) If a Lender is not a chartered bank or Schedule III bank under the Bank Act (Canada) or if a
Lender notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it is otherwise unable to accept Bankers’ Acceptances, such Lender will, instead of accepting and purchasing Bankers’ Acceptances, make a Loan (a “B/A Equivalent
Loan”) to the Borrower in the amount and for the same term as the draft which such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Lender will provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds
of such B/A Equivalent Loan for the account of the relevant Borrower. Each such B/A Equivalent Loan will bear interest at the same rate which would result if such Lender had accepted (and been paid an Acceptance Fee) and purchased (on a discounted
basis) a Bankers’ Acceptance for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such B/A Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the Lenders and the Borrower as the Bankers’ Acceptance
which such B/A Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such B/A Loan is made, and will be deducted from the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Loan. Subject to repayment requirements, on the last day of
the relevant Contract Period for such B/A Equivalent Loan, the relevant Borrower shall be entitled to convert each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another type of Loan, or to roll over each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another B/A Equivalent Loan,
all in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. 
 (i) With respect to each B/A Borrowing, at or before
11:00 a.m. two Business Days before the last day of the Contract Period of such B/A Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent if the Borrower intends to issue B/As on such last day of the Contract Period to provide for the
payment of such maturing B/A Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to notify the Administrative Agent of its intention to issue B/As on such last day of the Contract Period, the Borrower shall provide payment to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders of an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such B/A Borrowing on the last day of the Contract Period thereof. If the Borrower fails to make such payment, such maturing B/As shall be deemed to have been converted on the last day of
the Contract Period into a Prime Loan in an amount equal to the face amount of such B/As. 
 (j) The Borrower waives presentment
for payment and any other defence to payment of any amounts due to a 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
Lender in its own right, and the Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if such Lender, as holder, sues the relevant Borrower on the B/A for payment of the amount payable by the 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 relevant Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that have accepted and purchased such B/A the full face
amount of such B/A and, after such payment, the Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Lenders shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.


  
 – 29
– 








 (k) Except as required by any Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, no B/A
Borrowing may be repaid by the Borrower prior to the expiry date of the Contract Period applicable to such B/A Borrowing; provided, however, that the Borrower may defease any B/A Borrowing by depositing with the Administrative Agent an amount that
is sufficient to repay the full face amount of such B/A Borrowing on the expiry date of the Contract Period applicable to such B/A Borrowing. 
 (l) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the
Loans has been accelerated, including pursuant to Section 2.7, Lenders with B/A Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total applicable B/A Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.11(l), the
Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the applicable B/A Exposure as of such date; provided
that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
Section 7.1(h), (i) or (j). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Any such deposit shall bear interest for the account of the Borrower at the rate customarily paid by the Administrative Agent for deposits of similar currency,
amount and tenor, which interest shall be credited to such account. Moneys in such account shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the B/A Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has
been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders with B/A Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total applicable B/A Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the
Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and all Events of Default shall have been subsequently cured or waived, such amount together with all interest earned
thereon (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Rate Borrowing or Contract Period for a B/A Borrowing: 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means
do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or CDOR Rate for such Contract Period; or 
 (b) the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or CDOR Rate for such Contract Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included
in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the
Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A)(i) any
Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO Rate Borrowing,


  
 – 30
– 








 
such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing, (B) (i) any Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a B/A
Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a B/A Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Prime Rate Borrowing. 
 2.13 Increased Costs; Illegality. 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall:

  

	 	(i)	impose, modify or deem applicable any liquidity or other reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender; or 

  

	 	(ii)	impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement (including the imposition on any Lender of, or any change to, any
charge, other than Taxes, with respect to its LIBO Rate Loans or B/A Borrowings, or its obligation to make LIBO Rate Loans or B/A Borrowings); 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to
such Lender in maintaining any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then upon request of such Lender the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the Loans made by, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) and such Lender’s desired return on capital, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in Sections 2.13(a) or (b), together with a brief description of the Change of Law, shall be delivered to the Borrower, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In preparing any such
certificate, a Lender shall be entitled to use averages and to make reasonable estimates, and shall not be required to “match contracts” or to isolate particular transactions. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.13 for any increased costs or reduction incurred more than 90 days prior to the date such Lender, notifies the Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reduction and of such Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further, that if such adoption or such change giving rise to such increased costs or reduction is retroactive, such 90-day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect.

 (e) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be
reasonably exercised and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) at any time that the making or continuance of any LIBO Rate Loan or B/A Borrowing has become unlawful or materially restricted as a result of
compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Change in Law, or by any applicable guideline or order (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), then, in any such event, such Lender
shall give prompt notice (by telephone and confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to the other Lenders). Upon the giving of the
notice to the Borrower referred to in this Section 2.13(e), the Borrower’s right to request (by continuation, conversion or otherwise), and such Lender’s obligation to make, LIBO Rate Loans or B/A Borrowing, as applicable, shall be
immediately suspended, and thereafter: 
 (i) any requested Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed
to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, and if the affected LIBO Rate Loan or Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable Law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one Business Day prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender, convert each such LIBO Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and 

(ii) any requested B/A Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed to be a request for a Prime Rate Loan, and if the affected B/A
Borrowings are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately upon the expiry of the applicable Contract Period convert each such B/A Borrowing into a Prime Rate Loan, 
 provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.13(e). 

2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date
specified in any notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant hereto, or (b) the payment or conversion of any B/A Borrowing or LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of a Contract Period or Interest Period, as applicable (including as a result
of an Event of Default), or (c) the assignment of any Loan (including the assignment of any LIBO Rate Loan) other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense, if any, incurred by such Lender which is attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to
any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate, that
would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the
Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period and the interest rate at which U.S. Dollar deposits, of a comparable amount and period are available to such
Lender at the commencement of such period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 2.15 Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any
present or future Taxes unless deduction or withholding of any Taxes is required under applicable Laws. If any deduction or withholding of any Tax is required by applicable Laws, the Credit Parties shall make such Tax deduction or withholding and
shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority such Taxes in accordance with applicable Laws. To the extent that such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the Credit Parties shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that, after such
required deduction or withholding of Indemnified Tax (including any Indemnified Tax on the additional amounts payable under this Section 2.15), any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or the Lender (as applicable) under the Loan
Documents is equal to the same amount that would have been payable had no such deduction or withholding of Indemnified Tax been required under applicable Laws. 
 (b) In addition to the payments by the Credit Parties required by Section 2.15(a), the Credit Parties shall pay any and all present or future stamp, value added or documentary Taxes, goods and
services, harmonized sales, or other sales, excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made under the Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or enforcement of, or
otherwise with respect to, the Loan Documents to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws. 
 (c)
The Credit Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section 2.15) or Taxes described in Section 2.15(b) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties
under the Loan Documents and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than penalties, interest and expenses caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or
Lender, (as the case may be)), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) or Taxes described in Section 2.15(b) were correctly or
legally asserted or imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability, delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender), shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of any Tax to a Governmental Authority in
respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents is due under applicable Laws, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent with any properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law, or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from,
or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents (including any documentation necessary to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, any Taxes that may be imposed under FATCA).
Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate
documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or

not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and
submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth below in Section 2.15(g)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (f) If the
Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes, as to which it has been indemnified by the Credit Parties or with respect to which the Credit Parties have paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amount paid, by the Credit Parties under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower,
upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such
Lender in the event that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.15(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available
its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of any Lender to arrange its affairs in whatsoever manner it
thinks fit and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender shall be under any obligation to claim relief for tax purposes on its corporate profits or otherwise, or to claim such relief in priority to any other claims, reliefs,
credits or deductions available to it or to disclose details of its affairs. 
 (g) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan
Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent such
documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for
Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
Solely for purposes of this clause, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

2.16 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, amounts payable under any indemnity contained herein, or otherwise hereunder) prior to
12:00 noon, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to any of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.3 shall be
made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof, which, in the case of
payments to be distributed to the Lenders, shall be on the basis of their respective Applicable Percentage unless otherwise provided herein. 

  
 – 34
– 








 
If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension, provided that, in the case of any payment with respect to a LIBO Rate Loan, the date for payment shall be advanced to the next preceding Business Day if the next
succeeding Business Day is in a subsequent calendar month. All payments under this Section 2.16 in respect of LIBO Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans or and in respect of indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations invoiced in U.S.
Dollars shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All other payments under this Section 2.16 shall be made in Canadian Dollars. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to debit the general operating bank account of the Borrower which is
maintained with Royal Bank of Canada to effect any payment due to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Any resulting overdraft in such account shall be payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in same day
funds. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and
fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably amount the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of
or interest on any of its Revolving Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans; provided that (i) 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 (ii) this Section 2.16(c) shall not apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any
payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each applicable Lender, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 Administrative Agent, at the rate of interest customary for interbank
compensation for such currency. 

  
 – 35
– 








 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.16(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such
Lender’s obligations under such Section 2.16(d) until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 (f) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular
place or manner. 
 2.17 Currency Indemnity. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in any currency other than the
Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose, (A), in respect of any amount due in Canadian
Dollars, “rate of exchange” means the average of the rates at which the Administrative Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency in accordance with their normal practice at its head
office in Toronto, Ontario; and (B) in respect of any amount due in U.S. Dollars, “rate of exchange” means the average of the rates at which the Administrative Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the
Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice at its head office in Toronto, Ontario. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the
date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount due, the Borrower will, on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be
necessary to ensure that the amount received by the Administrative Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent is the amount
then due under this Agreement or such other Loan Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which the Administrative Agent is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, the Borrower
shall indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations
contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by an Administrative Agent from time to time and shall continue in full force
and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or under any judgment or order. 
 2.18 [Reserved]. 
 2.19 [Reserved]. 

2.20 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans 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 Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


  
 – 36
– 








 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense (including the processing and recording fee contemplated by Section 9.4(b)) and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be, another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal
to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts), and (iii) 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. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply. 
 2.21 Defaulting Lenders. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender :

 (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant
to Section 2.10(a); 
 (b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall
not be included in determining whether the Lenders or Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.2(b)); provided, that this clause
(b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification in respect of (i) an increase in or extension of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, or (ii) the reduction or
excusing of or postponement of the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on Loans as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent. 

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that
caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in
accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

 ARTICLE 3 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 In order to induce the Administrative

that each statement set forth in this Article 3 is true and correct on the Closing Date, and, subject to the Section 4.2(a), will be true and correct on the date each Borrowing is requested and made hereunder: 

3.1 Organization; Powers. Each Credit Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is
qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. 
 3.2
Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the corporate powers of each Credit Party and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, shareholder action. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which each Credit Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Credit Party and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

3.3 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any
other action by, any Governmental Authority other than those the absence of which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate any applicable Law or the charter, by-laws or other organizational
documents of any Credit Party or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any material indenture, material agreement or other material instrument binding upon any Credit Party or their
respective assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Credit Party, except such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) will not result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Credit Party. 
 3.4 Financial Condition. 

(a) The Borrower has publicly filed its consolidated balance sheets and statements of income, retained earnings and changes in financial
position as of and for the Fiscal Year ended December 30, 2012, together with the report of its auditors thereon. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations
and cash flows of the Borrower as of such date and for such period in accordance with GAAP. 
 (b) Since December 30, 2012
there has been no Material Adverse Change. 
 (c) All written information (including that disclosed in all financial statements)
pertaining to the Credit Parties (in this Section 3.4(c), the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, taken as a whole, is or will be, as of the date
furnished or publicly filed, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, as of the date furnished or publicly filed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to

 3.5 Litigation and Contingent Obligations. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.5, and except for
environmental-related matters (which are dealt with in Section 3.10), there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or
affecting any of the Credit Parties (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse
Effect or (ii) that involve this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the Transactions. Other than any contingent obligation which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower has no contingent obligations
not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto referred to in Section 5.1. 
 3.6 Compliance with Laws.
Each Credit Party is in compliance with all Laws applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party has violated or failed to obtain any Authorization necessary to the ownership of any of its property or assets or the conduct of its business, which violation or failure
could reasonably be expected to have (in the event that such a violation or failure were asserted by any Person through appropriate action) a Material Adverse Effect. 
 3.7 Taxes. Each Credit Party has filed or caused to be filed all material Tax Returns required to have been filed by it under applicable Laws and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to
be paid by it under applicable Laws except where (i) the validity or amount of such Taxes is being contested, objected to or appealed in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) the Credit Party has made adequate provisions or reserves
in its financial statements for such Taxes in accordance with GAAP, and (iii) the failure to pay such Taxes pending such contest, objection or appeal could not reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 3.8 Pension Plans. The Pension Plans are duly registered under the Income Tax Act (if required to be so registered) and
any other applicable Laws which require registration, have been administered in accordance with the Income Tax Act and such other applicable Laws and no event has occurred which could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such registered
status, except to the extent that any failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All material obligations of each of the Credit Parties (including fiduciary, funding, investment and administration
obligations) required to be performed in connection with the Pension Plans and the funding agreements therefor have been performed on a timely basis, except to the extent that any failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets of the Pension Plans or the Benefit Plans that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All contributions or premiums required to be made or paid by each
of the Credit Parties to the Pension Plans or the Benefit Plans have been made or paid on a timely basis in accordance with the terms of such plans and all applicable Laws, except to the extent that any failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There have been no improper withdrawals or applications of the assets of the Pension Plans or the Benefit Plans, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

3.9 Defaults. No Credit Party is in default nor has any event or circumstance occurred which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice,
or both, would constitute a default (in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) under any material loan or credit agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other instrument or
agreement evidencing or pertaining to any Indebtedness of any Credit Party, or under any material agreement or instrument to which a Credit Party is a party or by which any Credit Party is bound. 

3.10 Environmental Matters. No Credit Party has received any written notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with
any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the
environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 ARTICLE 8 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 8.1 Appointment of Administrative Agent. Each Lender
hereby designates Royal Bank of Canada as Administrative Agent to act as herein specified and as specified in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agent or employees. 
 8.2 Limitation of
Duties of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set out with respect to such Agent in this Agreement and as specified in the other Loan Documents. Neither the
Administrative Agent, nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The duties of the
Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon either Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set out herein. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty
to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents unless it is requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. 
 8.3 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. 
 (a) Independent
Investigation. Independently, and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and
affairs of the Credit Parties in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before the consummation of the Transactions or at any time or times thereafter. 
 (b) Administrative Agent Not
Responsible. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for
the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the financial condition of the Credit Parties or be required to make any inquiry concerning
either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the financial condition of the Credit Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of
Default. 
 8.4 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders or
the Required Lenders (as the case may be) with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or
taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received written instructions from the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.


  
 – 56
– 








 
Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or, to the extent required by Section 9.2, all of the Lenders. 
 8.5 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement,
certificate, telex, teletype or facsimile message, electronic mail, cablegram, radiogram, order or other documentary teletransmission or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 8.6 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. To
the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower (including any amounts required to be paid under Section 9.3(a) or (b)), each Lender will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, in proportion to
its aggregate Applicable Percentage, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in performing its duties hereunder, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no
Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent they are found by a non-appealable judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from (i) the wilful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or
(ii) the Administrative Agent’s wilful breach of express duties or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 8.7 Administrative Agent in their Individual Capacities. With respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the Loans made by it, Royal Bank of Canada, in its capacity as a Lender hereunder,
shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties, if any, specified herein; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”,
“Revolving Credit Lenders”, and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Royal Bank of Canada, in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. Royal Bank of Canada may accept deposits from, lend money
to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Credit Parties or any affiliate of the Credit Parties as if it were not performing the duties of the Administrative Agent, specified herein, and
may accept fees and other consideration from the Credit Parties for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. 
 8.8 May Treat Lender as Owner. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of the Loans recorded on the Register maintained pursuant to
Section 9.4(c) for all purposes hereof until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent is the owner of a Loan shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent owner, transferee or assignee of such Loan.

(a) Agent Resignation. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, and the
Borrower, and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent (who shall not be a non-resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)), subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’
removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (subject to approval of the Borrower,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), which shall be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada, the outstanding indebtedness of which is rated by any one or more of Moody’s, S&P and DBRS as A (or their equivalent
rating, as the case may be) or better. 
 (b) Rights, Powers, etc. Upon its acceptance of any appointment as a successor
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

actions, damages, expenses and liabilities of whatsoever nature or kind and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and all applicable Taxes to which any Indemnitee may become subject arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution or

(ii) any Loan or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiaries of the Borrower, or

Indemnitee’s wilful breach of express duties or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (iii) any dispute, claim or other matter between or among the Lenders. If any action shall be brought against any Indemnitee
with respect to which indemnification may be sought against the Borrower under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing and the Borrower shall, if requested by the Indemnitee or if the Borrower desire to do so,
assume the defence thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee and payment of all reasonable fees and expenses.

The failure to so notify the Borrower shall not affect any obligations the Borrower may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless (and then only to the extent that) the
Borrower are materially adversely affected by such failure. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action and participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
the Indemnitee, unless (i) the Borrower have failed to assume the defence and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include the Indemnitee
and the Borrower, and the Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defences available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower, in which case, if such Indemnitee
notifies the Borrower in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’ expense, the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defence of such action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnitee; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
be responsible hereunder for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one such firm of separate counsel, in addition to any local counsel, which counsel shall be designated by the Lead Arranger and/or their affiliates. The Borrower shall not be
liable for any settlement of any such action effected without the Borrower’ written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Borrower agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any loss or liability
by reason of settlement of any action effected with the Borrower’ consent. In addition, the Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnitee, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or
otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified applicable person is a party thereto) unless such
settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an express unconditional release of the Indemnitees and/or their respective affiliates, satisfactory in form and substance to the Indemnitees and/or their respective affiliates, from all
liability arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding. 
 (c) The Borrower and each Indemnitee shall not assert, and
hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law), any claim against any Indemnitee or any Credit Party, respectively, 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, any Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

 (d) Any inspection of any property of any Credit Party made by or through the Administrative
Agent or any Lender is for purposes of administration of the Revolving Credit only, and no Credit Party is entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of the Borrower). 

(e) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof,
and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. 
 (f) The relationship between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lenders. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the
Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or
trust or a fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to the Borrower or
its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform the Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their property or the operations of the Borrower or its Affiliates. The Borrower and its Affiliates
shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such
matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon. 
 (g) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to
property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of any Credit Party and/or its Affiliates and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless on the terms set out in Section 9.3(b) from any
such loss, damage, liability or claim. 
 (h) This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain
obligations, rights and duties of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s
and each Lender’s successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 9.3(b) and 9.4, no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof. 

(i) All amounts due under this Section 9.3 shall be payable not later than five (5) Business Days after written demand
therefor. 
 9.4 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) 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 (i) the Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof or any Affiliate of any Credit Party or Subsidiary thereof, or otherwise except in accordance with this Section.

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 and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (treating any fund that invests in bank loans and any other fund that invests in bank
loans and is managed by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single assignee) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a
portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund of any Lender, the Borrower must give its prior written
consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) the Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and
provided further that (iii) the Borrower’s consent shall not be required with respect to any assignment made at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (iv) except in the case of
an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Assumption relating to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than Cdn.$5,000,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent in writing and the amount held by each Lender after each such assignment shall not be less than Cdn.$5,000,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in writing, (vi) each partial assignment in respect of a
Commitment and the related Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Commitment and the related Loans, (vii) the parties to
each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) an Assignment and Assumption; and (B) (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund of any Lender) a processing and
recordation fee of Cdn.$3,500, payable by the assigning Lender, (viii) provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment by a Canadian Resident Lender
to a Foreign Lender, such Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to require any additional payments under Section 2.15(a) or Section 2.15(c) as a result of any Canadian withholding tax which may be exigible in respect of any payment of
interest by the Borrower to such Foreign Lender hereunder, and (ix) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower and
each Lender with written notice of any change in (or new) address of a Lender disclosed in an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.4(d), from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, shall have all of 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 Sections 2.13, 2.14, and 2.15 and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.4 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 Section 9.4(e).


  
 – 63
– 








 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices in Toronto a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time, (such registers being hereafter, the “Registers”). The entries in the Registers shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Registers pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Registers shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment
and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in
Section 9.4(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.4(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 9.4(d). 

(e) Any Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one
or more Persons (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans 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
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’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 the first proviso to Section 9.2(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to
Section 9.4(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this
Section 9.4(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(c) as though
it were a Lender. 
 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.15 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 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 Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to
comply with Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (g) 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, and Section 9.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or
assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 (h) Any assignment or grant of a participation pursuant to Section 9.4 shall constitute neither a repayment by the
Borrower to the assigning or granting Lender of any Loan included therein, nor a new advance of any such Loan to the Borrower by such Lender or by the Assignee or Participant, as the case may be. The parties acknowledge that the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder with respect to any such Loans will continue and will not constitute new obligations as a result of such assignment or participation.

 9.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein
and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that an Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time
any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated. All indemnities contained in Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 9.3 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect, regardless of the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 9.6
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed original counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this
Agreement. 
 9.7 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 9.8 Right of Set Off. If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) which such Lender may have and such Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off; provided that any failure or
delay in providing any such notice shall not affect the validity of any such action.

 EXHIBIT G 
 FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE FOR CANADIAN SUBSIDIARIES 
  

	TO:	ROYAL BANK OF CANADA, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) under the Credit Agreement (as defined below)


 THIS GUARANTEE is made this — day of —, 20— 

WHEREAS pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement dated the 3rd day of October, 2013 between, inter alia, Tim Hortons Inc. (the “Borrower”), and
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from time to time parties thereto, as the same may be supplemented, amended, restated or replaced from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”), the Borrower has designated the undersigned, a
Canadian Subsidiary of the Borrower (the “Guarantor”), to provide the Administrative Agent with a guarantee of the Obligations (as hereinafter defined); 
 AND WHEREAS it is in the interest of the Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guarantee; 
 NOW THEREFORE THIS GUARANTEE WITNESSES that in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements herein contained, the sum of $1.00 now paid by the Administrative Agent to the
Guarantor and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the Guarantor covenants with the Administrative Agent as follows: 

ARTICLE 1 
 GUARANTEE 
 1.1 Guarantee 
 The Guarantor hereby unconditionally (except to the extent otherwise provided herein) and irrevocably guarantees in favour of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders the due and punctual payment
and performance of all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of any kind whatsoever (whether present or future, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured) now or hereafter owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders or any one of them, in connection with or with respect to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (collectively the “Obligations”) as and when the same shall from time to time become due and payable in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents as applicable provided that an Event of Default shall have occurred, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or shall have been expressly waived pursuant to the
terms of the Credit Agreement (any such Event of Default which has not been cured or so expressly waived being hereinafter referred to as an “Actionable Event of Default”). If any or all of the Obligations are not duly paid by the Borrower
and are not recoverable under the foregoing guarantee, and provided that an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Guarantor will, as a separate and distinct obligation, indemnify and save harmless the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, from and against all losses resulting from the failure of the Borrower to pay such Obligations. If any or all of the Obligations are not duly paid by the Borrower and are not recoverable under the foregoing
guarantee or indemnity, for any reason whatsoever, and provided that an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, such Obligations will, as a separate and distinct obligation, be recoverable from the Guarantor as
primary obligor. Any amounts payable by the Guarantor under this Guarantee which are not paid forthwith upon demand therefor by the Administrative Agent will bear interest from the date of such demand at the rate or rates applicable to the
corresponding Obligations. 

  
 – 18
– 








 1.2 Obligation Absolute 
 The liability of the Guarantor hereunder will be absolute and unconditional (except to the extent otherwise provided herein) save and except as limited in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement
and will not be affected by: 
  

	 	(a)	any lack of validity or enforceability of any agreement between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and each Lender or of the guarantee of any other Guarantor of
the Obligations; 

  

	 	(b)	any impossibility, impracticability, frustration of purpose, illegality, force majeure or act of government; 


 

	 	(c)	the bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution or insolvency of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or the amalgamation of or any change in the status, function,
control or ownership of, the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or Lender or any other Guarantor; 

  

	 	(d)	the release or amendment of any other guarantee of the Obligations; 

  

	 	(e)	any lack or limitation of power, incapacity or disability on the part of the Borrower or of the directors, officers or Administrative Agent or any other irregularity,
defect or informality on the part of the Borrower in its obligations to the Administrative Agent and each Lender; or 

  

	 	(f)	any other Law, regulation or other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defence available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower in respect of any or all of the
Obligations. 

 1.3 Postponement 
 Except as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, all present and future indebtedness and liability of the Borrower to the Guarantor is hereby postponed to the Obligations. In case of liquidation,
winding up or bankruptcy of the Borrower (whether voluntary or involuntary) or if the Borrower makes any composition with creditors or scheme of arrangement otherwise than as permitted under Section 6.3 of the Credit Agreement, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders will have the right to rank for their full claims and receive all dividends or other payments in respect thereof in priority to the Guarantor until the claims of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been
paid in full, and the Guarantor will continue to be liable hereunder for any balance which may be owing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrower. The foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3 will not in any way limit or lessen
the liability of the Guarantor under any other Section of this Guarantee. 
 ARTICLE 2 

DEALINGS WITH BORROWER AND OTHERS 
 2.1 No Release 
 The liability of the Guarantor hereunder will not be released, discharged,
limited or in any way affected by anything done, suffered or permitted by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in connection with any duties or liabilities of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders or any other guarantee
therefor including any loss of or in respect of any security received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or others. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and without 

  
 – 19
– 








 
releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, without obtaining the consent of the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders may, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement: 
  

	 	(a)	agree to any change in the time, manner or place of payment under, or in any other term of, any agreement between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and/or the
Lenders; 

  

	 	(b)	grant time, renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases and discharges to the Borrower or either one of them; 


 

	 	(c)	take or abstain from taking or enforcing securities or collateral from the Borrower or from perfecting securities or collateral of the Borrower; accept compromises from
the Borrower or either one of them; and 

  

	 	(d)	apply all money at any time received from the Borrower or from securities or collateral received from the Borrower in accordance with the Credit Agreement.


 2.2 Release of Guarantor 
 Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations pursuant to this Guarantee, and, subject to the Guarantor being re-designated as a
Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Guarantee shall thereupon be of no further force or effect, if the Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor as defined for purposes of the Credit Agreement or otherwise as provided in
Section 5.9 of the Credit Agreement without further action required by the Administrative Agent, the Guarantor, or the Borrower. 

2.3 No Exhaustion of Remedies 
 The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders will not be bound or obligated to proceed against or exhaust its recourse against the Borrower or other persons or any securities or collateral it may hold or take any other action before being entitled to demand
payment from the Guarantor hereunder provided that an Actionable Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing. 
 2.4
Prima Facie Evidence 
 Any account settled or stated in writing by or between the Administrative Agent or any Lender and the Borrower will, in
the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence that the balance or amount thereof, appearing due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and, is actually so due or, appearing as having been paid, has actually been paid. 

2.5 Set-off 
 In any claim by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Guarantor, the Guarantor may not assert any set-off or counterclaim that it or the Borrower may have against the Administrative Agent or such Lender. 

Each of the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable Event of Default and to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, set-off and apply any and all deposits at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent or Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any and all of the
obligations of the Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guarantee or any other Loan Document even if (a) the Administrative Agent has not made any demand hereunder, (b) Obligations are contingent or unmatured, or (c) the
Obligations are not in the same currency as the offsetting deposits or indebtedness which may be owing by the Administrative Agent or any such Lender. 

  
 – 20
– 








 2.6 Continuing Guarantee 
 The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder will constitute and be continuing obligations and will apply to and secure any ultimate balance due or remaining due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
in respect of the Obligations and will not be considered as wholly or partially satisfied by the payment or liquidation at any time of any sum of money for the time being due or remaining unpaid to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. This
Guarantee will continue to be effective even if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rendered unenforceable or is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or upon the occurrence of any action
or event including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all as though such payment had not been made. 
 2.7
Remedies Cumulative 
 No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now existing or hereafter to exist by Law. 

ARTICLE 3 
 DEMAND 
 3.1 Demand 
 If any Obligation is not paid or performed for any reason whatsoever, including upon demand by the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent may demand forthwith from the Guarantor the total amount of such Obligation. The Guarantor will make payment to or performance in favour of the Administrative Agent of the total amount of such Obligation hereunder forthwith
after demand therefor is made to the Guarantor. The Guarantor will also make payment to the Administrative Agent forthwith upon demand of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of third-party counsel to the Administrative Agent, in enforcing this Guarantee to the extent that the Guarantor does not comply with the terms herein. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 SUBROGATION 

4.1 Subrogation 
 The Guarantor will not
be entitled to subrogation until (i) the Guarantor makes payment to the Administrative Agent of all amounts owing by the Guarantor under this Guarantee; and (ii) the Obligations are paid in full, and in each case, no such payment is
subject to rescission or other like return. Thereafter, the Administrative Agent will, at the Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the
Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations and any security held therefor resulting from such payment by the Guarantor. 

  
 – 21

 ARTICLE 5 
 BENEFIT 
 5.1 Benefit 
 This Guarantee is entered into with the Administrative Agent for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

ARTICLE 6 
 TAXES AND FOREIGN CURRENCY OBLIGATIONS 
 6.1 Taxes 

The Guarantor hereby acknowledges its obligations pursuant to Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement, which are included by reference in this
Guarantee. 
 6.2 Survival of Gross-up for Withholding Taxes Provisions 
 The provisions of Section 6.1 shall survive any termination or discharge of this Guarantee, the Credit Agreement and shall survive the defeasance or repayment of all or any of the Obligations.

 6.3 Foreign Currency Obligations. 
 The Guarantor will make payment relative to each Obligation in the currency (the “Original Currency”) in which the applicable Borrower is required to pay such Obligation. If the Guarantor
makes payment relative to any Obligation 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 will
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 Administrative Agent is able to purchase at Toronto, Ontario with the amount it
receives on the date of receipt. If the amount of the Original Currency which the Administrative Agent is able to purchase is less than the amount of such currency originally due to it in respect to the relevant Obligation, the Guarantor will
indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity will constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations
contained in this Guarantee will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any
judgment or order in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order. 
 ARTICLE 7 

GENERAL 
 7.1
Binding Effect of the Guarantee 
 This Guarantee will be binding upon the successors of the Guarantor and will enure to the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.

hereof and cancels and supersedes any prior understandings and agreements between such parties with respect thereto. There are no representations, warranties, terms, conditions, undertakings or collateral agreements, express, implied or statutory,
between the parties relating to this Guarantee except as expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent will not be bound by any representations or promises made by either of the Borrower to the Guarantor and
possession of this Guarantee by the Administrative Agent will be conclusive evidence against the Guarantor that the Guarantee was not delivered in escrow or pursuant to any agreement that it should not be effective until any condition precedent or
subsequent has been complied with. 
 7.3 Amendments and Waivers 
 No amendment to this Guarantee will be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this
Guarantee will be effective or binding unless made in writing and signed by the party purporting to give the same and, unless otherwise provided in the written waiver, will be limited to the specific breach waived. 

7.4 Severability
