Schedule 7
ADDITIONAL INTEREST TERMS AND DEFAULT INTEREST
1ADDITIONAL INTEREST TERMS
1.1Interest Act (Canada)
For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.  Each Obligor hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to it, whether pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle.
1.2Criminal Code (Canada)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Finance Document, in no event will any Finance Document require the payment or permit the collection of interest or other amounts from any Obligor incorporated or formed under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof in an amount or at a rate in excess of the amount or rate that is permitted by applicable law or in an amount or at a rate that would result in the receipt by the Lender of interest at a criminal rate, as the terms "interest" and "criminal rate" are defined under the Criminal Code (Canada).  If from any circumstance whatever, fulfilment of any provision of any Finance Document from any Obligor incorporated or formed under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof would result in exceeding the highest rate or amount permitted by applicable law for the collection or charging of interest, the obligation to be fulfilled will be reduced to reflect the highest permitted rate or amount.  If from any circumstance the Lender ever receives anything of value as interest or deemed interest under any Finance Document from any Obligor incorporated or formed under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof that would result in exceeding the highest lawful rate or amount of interest permitted by applicable law, the amount that would be excessive interest will be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the Facility, and not to the payment of interest, or if the excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Facility, the amount exceeding the unpaid balance will be refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specified contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Obligors and the Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a)

characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and their effects, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the term of the Facility so that interest does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and/or (d) allocate interest between portions of the obligations to the end that no portion will bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable law.  
2DEFAULT INTEREST
2.1Payment of default interest
If an Obligor does not pay any sum it is obliged to pay under the Finance Documents when it is due, interest shall accrue under this paragraph 2 on that Unpaid Amount from time to time outstanding for the period beginning on its due date and ending on the date the Lender receives it, both before and after judgment and will be compounded with the Unpaid Amount on each Repayment Date (but will remain due and payable).
2.2Rate of interest
The rate of interest accruing under this paragraph 2 shall be the rate per annum which is [***]% higher than the rate of interest which would have been applied under clause 6.1 (Calculation of interest). If the Borrower fails to pay an Unpaid Amount within [***] Business Days of the date when it is due, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a one-off late payment charge of [***]% of such Unpaid Amount to compensate the Lender for additional administrative expense.
2.3Default interest payable on demand
Interest accrued under this paragraph 2 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on written demand by the Lender.

(b)as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would, but for this paragraph 1.1.3, be obliged to make a payment to the new Lender under either paragraph 1.1 (Tax gross up) or paragraph 1.2 (Tax indemnity) of Schedule 9 (Tax and Indemnities)),
then the new Lender is only entitled to receive payment under those paragraphs to the same extent as the Original Lender would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

(b)the other person will have no proprietary interest in the benefit of this Agreement or in any monies received by the Lender under or in relation to this Agreement; and
(c)the other person will under no circumstances (other than permitted transfers and assignments under paragraph 1.1.1 of this Schedule 15 (Change of Parties) (y) be subrogated to, or substituted in respect of, the Lender’s claims under this Agreement; and (z) have otherwise any contractual relationship with, or rights against, the Borrower under or in relation to this Agreement.

2.2No Obligor shall be obliged at any time to procure any subsidiary becomes a Guarantor if (despite using all reasonable efforts to avoid the breach or result) that such accession would breach any applicable law or result in person liability for the directors, officers or similar management of any Obligor or subsidiary, provided that the Borrower notifies the Lender in advance in writing with an explanation of the breach detailing the reason for such breach.
