 ARTICLE 2 

THE CREDITS 

2.1 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender commits to
make Loans (each such Loan made under this Section 2.1, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time during the period commencing on the Original Effective Date and ending on the Maturity Date (each such commitment, a
“Commitment”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount set forth beside such Lender’s name in Schedule A under the heading “Commitment”, provided that any Revolving Loans made by any Lender as
requested by the Borrower will not result in (i) such Lender’s Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment, or (ii) the sum of the total Exposure exceeding either the total Commitment or the Borrowing Base. Within the foregoing
limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans. In addition, the Borrower may request from time to time that the Commitment be increased in an aggregate principal amount
of up to $10,000,000, provided that (i) the Agent and any Lender providing any portion of any such increase must consent in writing thereto (it being agreed that no Lender is required to provide any such Commitment increase), (ii) no
increase in the Commitments shall be made if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result after giving effect to such increase, (iii) each such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of
$2,500,000, (iv) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a one-time fee in an amount equal to 0.2% of the amount of each such Commitment increase, (v) the aggregate principal amount of all such Commitment
increases shall not exceed $10,000,000. The pro rata share of each Lender’s Commitment hereunder shall automatically increase as a result of any permitted increase in the Commitment hereunder, and Schedule A shall be amended to reflect any
such permitted increase. 
 2.2 Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders rateably in
accordance with their respective Commitments. 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 the Letter of
Credit Sub-Line limitation, the F/X Contract Sub-Line limitation, the Borrowing Base limitations and the other limitations on Loans and Borrowings as provided in this Agreement, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Canadian Prime Loans,
Bankers Acceptances, B/A Equivalent Loans, Base Rate Loans, LIBO Rate Loans and/or the delivery of Letters of Credit Guarantees or the entry into F/X Contracts as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. For greater certainty, the
Agent’s assistance in obtaining the F/X Contracts and the F/X Bank’s agreement to provide the F/X Contracts shall at all times and in all respects be in the Agent’s and F/X Bank’s sole discretion. 

(c) 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 any exercise of such option shall not result in any increased costs for the Borrower or affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At the
commencement of each Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of Cdn.$500,000 and not less than Cdn.$1,000,000. At the commencement of each Contract Period for any B/A
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of Cdn.$500,000 and not less than Cdn.$1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at
any time be more than a total of five B/A Borrowings or five LIBO Rate Borrowings outstanding. 

  
 -31- 








 2.3 Requests for Borrowings. 

(a) To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request by written Borrowing Request (i) in the
case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a B/A Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, two Business Days
before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (iii) in the case of a Canadian Prime Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any
such notice of a Canadian Prime Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement may be given not later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (iv) in the case of the
issuance of a Letter of Credit Guarantee in accordance with Section 2.18, not later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, five (5) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing. The Agent and each Lender are entitled to rely and act
upon any 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 Agent or any Lender has advanced
funds or made a B/A Borrowing or issued a Letter a Credit Guarantee based on such written Borrowing Request. Each such written Borrowing Request shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B and shall specify the following information: 

 

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



 

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



 

	 	(iii)	 whether such Borrowing is to be a Canadian Prime Borrowing, a B/A Borrowing, a Base Rate Borrowing, a LIBO
Rate Borrowing, the issuance of a Letter of Credit Guarantee in accordance with Section 2.18; 


  

	 	(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
with the requirements of this Agreement. 


 (b) If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified,
then the requested Borrowing shall be a Canadian 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 a one month 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 a one month duration. 

  
 -32- 








 (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 in accordance with their Applicable Percentage, 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 Agent of such election in the manner and 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. In addition to the information specified in Section 2.3(a), each 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. 
 (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 Canadian Prime Borrowings on the last day of the Contract Period of the relevant B/A Borrowings. 

(e) The Agent shall not incur any liability to the Borrower as a result of acting in accordance with any notice or request
referred to in this Section 2.3, which notice or request the Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an officer duly authorized by the Borrower to request Loans on its behalf or for otherwise acting in good faith under this
Section 2.3, and the crediting of Loans to the Borrower’s disbursement accounts, or transmittal to such Person or other bank account as the Borrower shall direct, shall conclusively establish the obligation of the Borrower to repay such
Loans as provided herein. 
 (f) Except to the extent otherwise permitted to the contrary hereunder, any Borrowing Request
made pursuant to in this Section 2.3 shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith. 

2.4 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately
available funds by 2:00 p.m., Toronto time, to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The 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 and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. The Borrower shall satisfy Reimbursement Obligations promptly as they arise by way of a request for a Loan and all Loans made
hereunder to satisfy Reimbursement Obligations: (i) in respect of any Letter of Credit Guarantee shall be remitted by the Agent to the Issuing Bank in accordance with such Letter of Credit Guarantee (unless the Issuing Bank has already been
fully reimbursed directly by the Borrower in respect of drawings under the Letter of Credit which is the subject of such Letter of Credit Guarantee), and (ii) in respect of any F/X Contract shall be remitted by the Agent to the F/X Bank in
accordance with such F/X Contract (unless the F/X Bank has already been fully reimbursed directly by the Borrower in respect of all such losses in respect of the F/X Contract). 

  
 -33- 








 (b) The Agent may, upon notice given by the Agent no later than 2:00 p.m.,
Toronto time on any Settlement Date, request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated with respect to the aggregate Commitments then
outstanding) of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans made by the Agent from the preceding Settlement Date to the date of such notice. Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans and to make the settlements pursuant to this
Section 2.4 shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defence or other right which any such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Agent, the Borrower, any Lender or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Without
limiting the liability and obligation of each Lender to make such advances, the Borrower authorizes the Agent to charge the Borrower’s Operating Account to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the
amount of any such deficiency. To the extent that any Lender has failed to fund all such payments and Revolving Loans, the Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Lender’s pro rata share of all payments
received from the Borrower. 
 (c) The Agent, for the account of the Lenders, shall disburse all amounts to the Borrower and
shall handle all collections. It is understood that for purposes of advances to the Borrower and for purposes of this Section 2.4, the Agent is using the funds of the Agent. 

(d) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to any advance to the Borrower that such Lender
will not make the amount which would constitute its share of the Borrowing on such date available to the Agent, the Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to the Agent on a Settlement Date, and the Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.4 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such
Lender’s share of such Borrowing is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender on the Settlement Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Loans
hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower without prejudice to any rights which the Agent may have against such Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this shall relieve any Lender which has failed to make available its Applicable Percentage of any
borrowing hereunder from its obligation to do so in accordance with the terms hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate the Agent to make available to the Borrower the full amount of a requested advance when the Agent has any
notice (written or otherwise) that any of the Lenders will not advance its Applicable Percentage thereof. 
 (e) On the
Settlement Date, the Agent and the Lenders shall each remit to the other, in immediately available funds, all amounts necessary so as to ensure that, as of the Settlement Date, the Lenders shall have their Applicable Percentage share of all
outstanding Obligations other than in respect of F/X Contracts, which shall remain with the F/X Bank. 
 (f) The Agent shall
forward to each Lender, at the end of each calendar month, a copy of the account statement rendered by the Agent to the Borrower. 

  
 -34- 








 (g) The Agent shall, after receipt of any interest and fees earned under this
Agreement, promptly remit to the Lenders their Applicable Percentage of any (i) fees they are entitled to receive, and (ii) interest computed at the rate and as provided for in this Agreement on all outstanding amounts advanced by the
Lenders on each Settlement Date, prior to adjustment, that are subsequent to the last remittance by the Agent to the Lenders of such interest amounts. 

2.5 Interest. 

(a) The Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus (or, at any time when Adjusted Average Excess Availability is equal to or greater than 25%, minus) the Applicable Margin
from time to time in effect. 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 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus (or, at any time when
Adjusted Average Excess Availability is equal to or greater than 25%, minus) the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect. 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 in effect on the first day of the relevant Interest Period. 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. 
 (b) If
there is a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all amounts outstanding hereunder (including all Loans and all Letter of Credit Exposure and F/X Exposure) shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per
annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or, in the case of any amount not constituting principal or interest on a Loan, at a rate equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to, in the case of Canadian Dollar amounts,
Canadian Prime Loans, or in the case of U.S. Dollar amounts, Base Rate Loans. 
 (c) Accrued interest on each Loan
shall be payable in arrears on the earlier of (i) each applicable Interest Payment Date, and (ii) the date of termination of the Commitments. 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. 
 (d) 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 Canadian Prime Rate,
Base Rate, LIBO Rate or B/A Rate shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(e) 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, 365-day or 366-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, 365 or 366, 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. 

  
 -35- 








 (f) The Borrower acknowledges and confirms that: 

 

	 	(i)	 Section 2.5(e) above satisfies the requirements of Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) to
the extent it applies to the expression or statement of any interest payable under any Loan Document; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 each Credit Party is able to calculate the yearly rate or percentage of interest payable under any Loan
Document based upon the methodology set out in Section 2.5(e) above. 


 (g) The Borrower
agrees not to, and to cause each Credit Party not to, plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Loan Documents, that the interest payable thereunder and the calculation thereof has not been adequately
disclosed to any Credit Party, whether pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other Applicable Law or legal principle. 

(h) 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 any Applicable 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
Applicable 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 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). 



(i) Any Loan that is outstanding on the Effective Date under the Existing Credit Agreement that is comprised of a Canadian
Prime Borrowing shall, as of the Effective Date, bear interest in accordance with Section 2.5(a) hereof. 
 (j) Any
Loan that is outstanding on the Effective Date under the Existing Credit Agreement that is comprised of a B/A Borrowing or a LIBO Rate Borrowing shall continue to be subject to any fees and interest calculated in accordance with the Existing Credit
Agreement until the expiration date of the applicable Contract Period, or Interest Period, as applicable. 
 (k) Any Letter
of Credit issued under the Existing Credit Agreement which remains outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue to be subject to participation fees and fronting fees determined in accordance with the Existing Credit Agreement until the
expiration date of such Letter of Credit. If any such Letter of Credit is extended, such Letter of Credit shall be subject to participation fees and fronting fees under this Agreement. 

  
 -36- 








 (l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, as
a result of any restatement or other adjustment to the financial statements delivered under this Agreement (including any adjustment to unaudited financial statements as a result of subsequent audited financial statements) or for any other reason
(including without limitation an adjustment on any Borrowing Base Report delivered hereunder), the Borrower, the Agent or the Lenders determine that Adjusted Average Excess Availability as of any applicable date was inaccurate and, as a result of
such inaccuracy, the Applicable Margin applicable to any Loans or any fees for any period was lower than would otherwise be the case had such inaccuracy not occurred, then the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the
Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Agent (or, if an Event of Default pursuant to any of Sections 7.1(i), (j) or (k) shall have occurred and be continuing, automatically and without further action by
the Agent), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid by the Borrower for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid by the Borrower for such period, plus interest on such amount
at the rate otherwise applicable herein. 
 2.6 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

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

(b) The Borrower may, upon five Business Days prior written notice to the Agent, permanently cancel any unused portion of the
Commitments, provided, however, that the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on the date on which such cancellation becomes effective, the Early Termination Fee in respect of the cancelled portion of the Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Early Termination Fee shall be payable if the Borrower enters into financing arrangements with CIBC concurrently with the effectiveness of such cancellation. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the receipt by the Agent of any such notice.
Any such cancellation shall be applied rateably in respect of the Commitments of each Lender. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall be irrevocable. 

(c) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and unless the Commitments have been earlier terminated, the
Commitments shall be available hereunder until the Maturity Date. 
 2.7 Repayment of Loans.
The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date that the Commitment is terminated pursuant to
Section 2.6(b) or Section 7.1. 
 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 Borrowing 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 Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type
thereof and, in the cases of B/A Borrowings and 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 Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

  
 -37- 








 (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 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 the Agent and any Lender, the records maintained by the Agent shall
govern. 
 (d) Any Lender may request that Loans (other than B/A Borrowings) 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 Agent.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times 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) Mandatory Borrowing Base Prepayments. If at any time the aggregate Exposure of all Lenders is in excess of the
Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the amount of such excess to be applied (i) first, in satisfaction of all Reimbursement Obligations, if any, outstanding at such time,
(ii) second, as a prepayment of the Revolving Loans, and (iii) third, as Cover for any remaining Letter of Credit Exposure, F/X Exposure and Bankers Acceptances in an amount of such remaining excess. 

(b) Currency Fluctuations. If, at any time, the Canadian $ Equivalent of the Loans made by any Lender to the Borrower
under any Credit exceeds the Commitment of such Lender under such Credit (any such excess being referred to in this Section as an “Excess Amount”), then the Borrower will repay to the Agent, for the account of each applicable
Lender, an amount equal to the Excess Amount with respect to such Lender. If the amount of any Excess Amount with respect to any Lender is equal to or greater than 3% of the Commitment of such Lender for the applicable Credit, then the repayment of
the Excess Amount to such Lender shall be made by the Borrower within one Business Day after the Agent requests such repayment. If the amount of any Excess Amount with respect to any Lender is less than 3% of the Commitment of such Lender for such
credit, then the repayment of the Excess Amount to such Lender shall be made on the next Quarterly Date. The Agent shall request repayment of any Excess Amount forthwith upon request therefor by any Lender, but the Agent is not otherwise required to
monitor Excess Amount levels or to request repayment thereof. 
 (c) Notice by Borrower. Each prepayment notice
provided by the Borrower hereunder in respect of any permanent repayment or prepayment hereunder shall be in a form acceptable to the Agent and shall be irrevocable. 

(d) Notice by Agent. Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.9, the Agent shall promptly
notify each applicable Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment and the corresponding Early Termination Fee, if any. 

  
 -38- 








 2.10 Fees. 

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of and distribution to each Lender rateably in accordance with each
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage a standby fee for the period commencing on the date of this Agreement to and including the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Commitments shall have been terminated entirely) computed at a rate of
0.25% per annum on the average daily excess amount of the aggregate Commitments over the aggregate Exposure (but excluding, solely for the purpose of this Section 2.10, any F/X Exposure). The standby fees on the Commitments shall be
calculated monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month (and on the date on which the Commitments terminate) and each such calculated amount shall be payable on the first Business Day of the immediately following calendar month
(or on the date on which the Commitments terminate, 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). 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender
rateably in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage, a guarantee fee (an “LC Guarantee Fee”) with respect to the provision of Letter of Credit Guarantees, at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the
average daily amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure during the period from and including the date of this Agreement (or the date on which any Letter of Credit Exposure first exists to but excluding the latter of: (i) the date of termination
of the Commitments and (ii) the date on which there ceases to be any Letter of Credit Exposure. All such LC Guarantee Fees (the “LC Fees”) shall be calculated monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month
(and on the date on which the Commitments terminate) and each such calculated amount shall be payable on the first Business Day of the immediately following calendar month (or on the date on which the Commitments terminate, as the case may be);
provided that all LC Fees, together with all Standard LC Fees (as defined below), accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All LC Fees payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) 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). The Borrower also agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing
Bank, the Issuing Bank’s standard fees (the “Standard LC Fees”) with respect to the issuing, administration, handling, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Such standard
fees shall be payable within 10 days after demand by the Agent or the Issuing Bank. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay
to the Agent, for its own account, on the date of this Agreement and on the first Business Day of each calendar month thereafter an administrative management fee in an amount equal to Cdn.$1,000, which the Borrower acknowledges and agrees shall be
fully earned when paid. 
 (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, the Agent’s standard
charges, fees, costs and expenses for its field examinations, verifications and audits in an amount equal to $1,200 per person per day plus such field examiner’s and auditor’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. 

(e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately
agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and the Agent. 

  
 -39- 








 (f) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Agent, for its own account or for distribution to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable except in the case of manifest error in the calculation of any fee payment. 

2.11 B/A Borrowings. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may request a Borrowing by presenting drafts for
acceptance and purchase as Bankers Acceptances by the Lenders. 
 (b) No Contract Period with respect to a B/A Borrowing
shall extend beyond the Maturity Date. The Borrower shall not be entitled to obtain or roll over any B/A Borrowings at any time that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

(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 Bankers Acceptances 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 Bankers Acceptances for acceptance under this Agreement. The Borrower recognizes and agrees that all Bankers Acceptances 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 Bankers Acceptances 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
Bankers Acceptances 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. Each Lender shall maintain a record with
respect to Bankers Acceptances (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 Bankers Acceptances 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 the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice. Alternatively, the Borrower agrees that, at the request of the Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the 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 Bankers Acceptances hereunder shall be signed as set out in this
Section 2.11. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any Bankers Acceptances may no longer be an authorized signatory for any Lender or the Borrower at the date of issuance of a Bankers Acceptances, 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 Bankers Acceptances so signed shall be binding on the Borrower. 

  
 -40- 








 (e) Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request specifying a Borrowing by
way of Bankers Acceptances, the Agent shall so advise the Lenders and shall advise each Lender of the aggregate face amount of the Bankers Acceptances to be accepted by it and the applicable Contract Period (which shall be identical for all
Lenders). The aggregate face amount of the Bankers Acceptances to be accepted by the Lenders shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of Cdn.$1,000,000 and shall be a whole multiple of Cdn.$500,000, and such face amount shall be in the Lenders’
pro rata portions of such Borrowing, provided that the Agent may in its sole discretion increase or reduce any Lender’s portion of such B/A Borrowing to the nearest Cdn.$100,000 without reducing the overall Commitments. 

(f) Upon acceptance of a Bankers Acceptance by a Lender, such Lender shall purchase, or arrange for the purchase of, each
Bankers Acceptance from the Borrower at the Discount Rate for such Lender applicable to such Bankers Acceptance accepted by it and provide to the Agent the Discount Proceeds therefor for the account of the Borrower. The Acceptance Fee payable by the
Borrower to a Lender under Section 2.5 in respect of each Bankers Acceptance 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 Bankers
Acceptances accepted and purchased by it. 
 (h) If a Lender is not a chartered bank under the Bank
Act (Canada) or if a Lender notifies the 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 Agent the Discount Proceeds of such B/A
Equivalent Loan for the account of the 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 Equivalent Loan is made, and will be deducted from the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Loan in the same manner in which the Discount Proceeds of a Bankers Acceptance
would be deducted from the face amount of the Bankers Acceptance. Subject to repayment requirements, on the last day of the relevant Contract Period for such B/A Equivalent Loan, the 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 10:00 a.m. two Business Days before the last day of the Contract
Period of such B/A Borrowings, the Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing, if the Borrower intends to issue Bankers Acceptances on such last day of the Contract Period to provide for payment of such maturing B/A Borrowing. If the Borrower fails
to notify the Agent of its intention to issue Bankers Acceptances on such last day of the Contract Period, the Borrower shall provide payment to the 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/A Borrowing shall be deemed to have been converted on the last day of the Contract Period into a Canadian Prime Loan in an amount equal to
the aggregate amount of such B/A Borrowing. 

  
 -41- 








 (j) The Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defence to payment
of any amounts due to a Lender in respect of a Bankers Acceptances accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of such Bankers Acceptances 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 Borrower on the Bankers Acceptances for payment of the amount payable by the Borrower thereunder. On the last day of the Contract Period of a Bankers
Acceptances, or such earlier date as may be required or permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay the Lender that has accepted and purchased such Bankers Acceptances the full face amount of such Bankers
Acceptances and, after such payment, the Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such Bankers Acceptances and such Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such
Bankers Acceptances. 
 (k) If a Lender grants a participation in a portion of its rights under this Agreement to a
Participant under Section 9.4(e), then, in respect of any B/A Borrowing, a portion thereof may, at the option of such Lender, be by way of Bankers Acceptance accepted by such Participant. In such event, the Borrower shall upon request of the
Agent or the Lender granting the participation execute and deliver a form of Bankers Acceptances undertaking in favour of such Participant for delivery to such Participant. 

(l) 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 Agent an amount that is sufficient to repay such B/A Borrowing on
the expiry date of the Contract Period applicable to such B/A Borrowing. 
 2.12 Increased Costs;
Illegality. 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall: 

 

	 	(i)	 impose, modify or deem applicable any 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 Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this
Agreement (including the imposition on any Lender of, or any change to, any Indemnified Tax or other charge with respect to its LIBO Rate Loans or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or its obligation to make LIBO Rate Loans or any Letter
of Credit); 


 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 of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then 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.


  
 -42- 








 (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or
liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or liquidity as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by such Lender, or the
Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, 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 or liquidity) 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International
Settlements, and Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States, Canadian or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (b) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act (United States) and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a Change in Law for purposes of
this Section 2.12(b) regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender
setting forth amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in Sections 2.12(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 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation. 

(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 current or reasonably expected foreign currency markets are unusually unstable or that the making or continuance of any Loan denominated in a currency other than
Canadian Dollars has become unlawful or materially restricted as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Applicable 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 Agent of such determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to
the other Lenders). Upon the giving of the notice to the Borrower referred to in this Section 2.12(e), the Borrower’s right to request (by continuation, conversion or otherwise), and such Lender’s obligation to make, Loans denominated
in a currency other than Canadian Dollars shall be immediately suspended, and thereafter any requested Borrowing of Loans denominated in a currency other than Canadian Dollars shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed to be a request for a Canadian
Prime Loan, and if the affected 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 Agent and the
affected Lender, convert each such Loan denominated in a currency other than Canadian Dollars into a Canadian Prime 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 2.12(e). 

  
 -43- 








 (f) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Rate
Borrowing: 
  

	 	(i)	 the 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 


  

	 	(ii)	 the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such Interest 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; 



then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election 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, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing; provided that (A) if the circumstances giving rise to such
notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for LIBO Rate Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby, and (B) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then
the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. 
 2.13 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 principal of any B/A Borrowing or
LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of a Contract Period or, as applicable, Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (c) the prepayment or conversion of any B/A Borrowing or LIBO Rate Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount
or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 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. 
 2.14 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after
making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14), the Agent, or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deduction or withholding, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law the full amount
deducted or withheld. 

  
 -44- 








 (b) In addition to the payments by the Borrower required by Section 2.14(a),
the Borrower shall pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 (c) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Agent, such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of
any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the 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 Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the 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 Agent. 
 (e) If, following the
imposition of any Taxes on any payment by the Borrower to any Lender in respect of which the Borrower is required to make an additional payment pursuant to this Section 2.14, any Lender receives or is granted a credit against or remission for
or deduction from or in respect of any Taxes paid by it or shall obtain any other relief which, in such Lender’s opinion, is both reasonably identifiable and quantifiable by it without involving it in an unacceptable administrative burden (any
of the foregoing being a “saving”), such Lender will reimburse the Borrower with such amount as such Lender shall have concluded, in its absolute discretion but in good faith, to be the amount or value of the relevant saving. Nothing
herein contained shall interfere with the right of any Lender to arrange its affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, 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. Each Lender will notify the Borrower promptly of the receipt by such Lender of any such saving and of such
Lender’s opinion as to the amount or value thereof, and any reimbursement to be made by such Lender will be made promptly on the date of receipt of such saving by such Lender or, if later, on the last date on which the applicable taxation
authority would be able in accordance with applicable law to reclaim or reduce such saving. 
 2.15
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 or amounts payable in respect of Reimbursement Obligations, amounts payable under any of Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or amounts otherwise payable hereunder) prior to
1:00 p.m., Toronto time, 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 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 Agent at the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to any indemnities contained herein shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. 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 2.15 in respect of LIBO Rate Loans and
Base Rate Loans shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All other payments under this Section 2.15 shall be made in Canadian Dollars. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to debit the Operating Account to effect any payment due to the Lenders or the
Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Any resulting overdraft in such account shall be payable by the Borrower to the Agent in same day funds. 

  
 -45- 








 (b) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in which case,
Section 7.2(d) shall apply), if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees, amounts payable in respect of Repayment Obligations, amounts payable under any of
Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 and other amounts payable hereunder, any available funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, rateably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, towards payment of principal and in satisfaction of Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, rateably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal and Reimbursement Obligations, and (iii) third, towards payment of amounts payable under any of Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 and other amounts otherwise payable hereunder. 

(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 or fees in respect of any of its Revolving Loans or its share of Reimbursement Obligations resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of any principal of or interest on or
fees in respect of any of its Revolving Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations than the proportion to which it is entitled, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Revolving Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations owed to other Lenders (as the case may be) to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders rateably taking into account each of the
Applicable Percentages in respect of each Lender; 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 2.15(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 or participations in Reimbursement Obligations 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 Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the 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 of the Lenders, severally agrees to repay to the 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 the Agent, at the applicable rate for Canadian Prime Loans (if such amount is denominated in Canadian Dollars) or the applicable rate for
Base Rate Loans (if such amount is denominated in U.S. Dollars). 

  
 -46- 








 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 2.15(d), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
under such Section 2.15(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.

 2.16 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 “rate of exchange”
means the rate at which the 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 Agent of the amount due, the Borrower will, on the date of receipt by the 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 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 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 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 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 the 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. 

2.17 Collection of Accounts. 

(a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, at its expense, enforce, collect and receive all amounts
owing on its Accounts in the ordinary course of its business and any proceeds it so receives shall be subject to the terms hereof. Any proceeds received by a Credit Party in respect of Accounts, and any cheques, cash, credit card sales and receipts,
notes or other instruments or property received by a Credit Party with respect to any Collateral, shall be held by such Credit Party in trust for the Agent, separate from such Credit Party’s own property and funds, and promptly turned over to
the Agent with proper assignments or endorsements by deposit to the Blocked Accounts. 

  
 -47- 








 (b) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to at the request
of the Agent: (i) indicate on all of its invoices that funds should be delivered to and deposited in a lock box or a Blocked Account; (ii) direct all of its account debtors to deposit any and all proceeds of Collateral into the lock boxes
or the Blocked Accounts; (iii) irrevocably authorize and direct any bank which maintains any Credit Party’s initial receipt of cash, cheques and other items to promptly wire transfer all available funds to a Blocked Account; and
(iv) advise all such banks of the Agent’s security interest in such funds. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, provide the Agent with prior written notice of any and all deposit accounts opened or to be opened
subsequent to the Original Effective Date. All amounts received by the Agent in payment of Accounts will be credited to the Operating Account when the Agent is advised by its bank of its receipt of “collected funds” at the Agent’s
bank account in Toronto, Ontario on the Business Day of such advise if advised no later than 12:00 noon, Toronto time, or on the next succeeding Business Day if so advised after 12:00 noon, Toronto time. No cheques, drafts or other instrument
received by the Agent shall constitute final payment to the Agent unless and until such instruments have actually been collected. 

(c) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, establish and maintain, in its own respective name
and at its expense, deposit accounts and lock boxes with such banks as are acceptable to the Agent (the “Blocked Accounts”) into which the Borrower shall promptly cause to be deposited: (i) all proceeds of Collateral received
by any Credit Party, including all amounts payable to any Credit Party from credit card issuers and credit card processors, and (ii) all amounts on deposit in deposit accounts used by any Credit Party at each of its locations, all as further
provided in Section 2.17(b). The banks at which the Blocked Accounts are established and the applicable Credit Parties shall enter into three-party agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent (the “Blocked Account
Agreements”), providing that, among other things, all cash, cheques and items received or deposited in the Blocked Accounts are subject to Liens in favour of the Agent, that the depository bank has no Lien upon, or right of set off against,
the Blocked Accounts and any cash, cheques, items, wires or other funds from time to time on deposit therein, except as otherwise provided in the Blocked Account Agreements, and that on a daily basis the depository bank will wire, or otherwise
transfer, in immediately available funds, all funds received or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to such bank account as the Agent may from time to time designate for such purpose. The Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that all amounts
deposited in such Blocked Accounts and any other funds received and collected by the Agent, whether as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise, shall be subject to the Liens in favour of the Agent. The Blocked Accounts Agreements will
be “springing dominion agreements” and the Agent will be entitled to exercise full dominion and control over the blocked accounts at any time when Excess Availability is less than the Threshold Amount. 

(d) The parties hereto hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that the implementation of the cash management arrangements is a
contractual right provided to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder in order for the Agent and the Lenders to manage and monitor their collateral position and not a proceeding for enforcement or recovery of a claim, or pursuant to, or an enforcement
of, any security or remedies whatsoever, that the cash management arrangements contemplated herein are critical to the structure of the lending arrangements contemplated herein, that the Lenders are relying on the Borrower’s acknowledgement,
confirmation and agreement with respect to such cash management arrangements in making accommodations of credit available to the Borrower and in particular that any accommodations of credit are being provided by the Lenders to the Borrower strictly
on the basis of a borrowing base calculation to fully support and collateralize any such accommodations of credit hereunder.

Borrower in establishing Letters of Credit with the Issuing Bank, the Borrower has requested the Agent and the Agent has agreed to execute a Letter of Credit Guarantee subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(a) Within the limits of the Commitments and the Borrowing Base, and the other limitations contained in this Agreement, the
Agent shall assist the Borrower in obtaining Letters of Credit, denominated in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars, in an amount not to exceed the outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Sub-Line. The Agent’s assistance for amounts in excess of

amendments, modifications or extensions thereof, must be mutually acceptable to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower and it is further understood the term of each Letter of Credit issued cannot be for a term that extends beyond the Maturity
Date. Any and all outstanding Letter of Credit Guarantees shall be reserved dollar for dollar from the Borrowing Base as an Availability Reserve. Upon the expiry of a Letter of Credit Guarantee, amounts reserved as an Availability Reserve in respect
of such Letter of Credit Guarantee, as the case may be, shall no longer be reserved from the Borrowing Base as an Availability Reserve. 

(b) The Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, to charge the Borrower’s Operating Account with the
amount of any and all indebtedness, liability or obligation of any kind incurred by the Agent under the Letter of Credit Guarantees at the earlier of (a) payment by the Agent under the Letter of Credit Guarantee; or (b) the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default. Any amount so charged to the Borrower’s Operating Account shall be deemed a Canadian Prime Rate Loan or a US Base Rate Loan hereunder, depending on the currency of the Borrower’s payment obligation
thereunder, and shall incur interest at the rate provided in Section 2.5. 
 (c) The Borrower unconditionally
indemnifies the Agent and holds the Agent harmless from any and all loss, claim or liability incurred by the Agent arising from any transactions or occurrences relating to Letters of Credit established or opened for the Borrower’s account, the

loss, claim or liability arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Agent under the Letter of Credit Guarantee. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that any charges incurred by the
Agent for the Borrower’s account from the Issuing Bank shall be conclusive upon the Agent and may be charged to the Borrower’s Operating Account. 

(d) The Agent shall not be responsible for: (a) the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or
delivery of the goods purporting to be represented by any documents; (b) any difference or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of the goods from that expressed in the documents; (c) the
validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (d) the time, place, manner or order in
which shipment is made; partial or incomplete shipment, or failure or omission to ship any or all of the goods referred to in the Letters of Credit or documents; (e) any deviation from instructions; (f) delay, default, or fraud by the
shipper and/or anyone else in connection with the goods or the shipping thereof; or (g) any breach of contract between the shipper or vendors and the Borrower. 

  
 -49- 








 (e) The Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Agent, if taken in good
faith, or any action taken by any Issuing Bank, under or in connection with the Letters of Credit, the Letter of Credit Guarantees, the drafts or acceptances, or the Collateral, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability
whatsoever of the Agent to the Borrower. In furtherance thereof, the Agent shall have the full right and authority to: (a) clear and resolve any questions of non compliance of documents; (b) give any instructions as to acceptance or
rejection of any documents or goods; (c) execute any and all steamship or airways guarantees (and applications therefor), indemnities or delivery orders; (d) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of
presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or documents; and (e) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letters of Credit, drafts or
acceptances or Letters of Credit Guarantees; all in the Agent’s sole discretion. The Issuing Bank shall be entitled to comply with and honor any and all such documents or instruments executed by or received solely from the Agent, all without
any consent from the Borrower. In addition, without the Agent’s express consent and endorsement in writing, the Borrower agrees: (a) not to (i) execute any applications for steamship or airway guarantees, indemnities or delivery
orders; (ii) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances or documents; or (iii) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of
any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letters of Credit, drafts or acceptances or Letters of Credit Guarantees; and (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, not to (i) clear and
resolve any questions of non compliance of documents, or (ii) give any instructions as to acceptances or rejection of any documents or goods. 

(f) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to: (a) procure any necessary import, export or other
licenses or certificates for the import or handling of the Collateral; (b) comply with all Applicable Law in regard to the shipment and importation of the Collateral, or the financing thereof; and (c) deliver to the Agent any certificates
in that regard that the Agent may at any time request to be furnished. In connection herewith, the Borrower warrants and represents that all shipments made under any such Letters of Credit are in accordance with Applicable Law of the countries in
which the shipments originate and terminate, and are not prohibited by any such Applicable Law. The Borrower assumes all risk, liability and responsibility for, and agrees to pay and discharge, all present and future local, provincial, state,
federal or foreign Taxes, duties, or levies with respect to such Collateral. Any embargo, restriction, laws, customs or regulations of any country, state, city, or other political subdivision, where the Collateral is or may be located, or wherein
payments are to be made, or wherein drafts may be drawn, negotiated, accepted, or paid, shall be solely the Borrower’s risk, liability and responsibility. 

(g) Upon any payments made to the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit Guarantee, the Agent shall acquire by subrogation,
any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank in any application for Letters of Credit, any standing agreement relating to Letters of Credit or otherwise, all of which shall be deemed to have
been granted to the Agent and apply in all respects to the Agent and shall be in addition to any rights, remedies, duties or obligations contained herein. 

  
 -50- 








 2.19 F/X Contracts. Subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the Borrower may request F/X
Contracts in accordance with this Section 2.19: 
 (a) Within the limits of the Commitments and the Borrowing Base
and the other limitations as contained in this Agreement, the Agent may assist the Borrower on an uncommitted basis to obtain F/X Contracts in an amount such that the F/X Exposure does not exceed the outstanding amount of the F/X Contract Sub-Line.
The Agent’s assistance in obtaining the F/X Contracts and the F/X Bank’s agreement to provide the F/X Contracts shall at all times and in all respects be in the Agent’s and F/X Bank’s sole discretion. The entry into F/X Contracts
for amounts in excess of the limitation set forth herein shall at all times and in all respects be in the Agent’s sole discretion. Any F/X Contract will be documented by separate documentation in the form required by the F/X Bank. The term,
form and purpose of the F/X Contract and all confirmations and other documentation in connection therewith, and any amendments, modifications or extensions thereof, must be mutually acceptable to the F/X Bank and the Borrower. 

(b) The Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, to charge the Borrower’s loan account with the amount
of any and all indebtedness, liability or obligation of any kind incurred by the Agent or the F/X Bank under any F/X Contract at such time which is the earlier of (a) payment by the Agent under the F/X Contract; or (b) the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, unless the Borrower has provided Cover to the Agent. Any amount charged to Borrower’s loan account shall be deemed a Canadian Prime Loan or a Base Rate Loan hereunder, depending on the currency of the
Borrower’s payment obligation in respect of such F/X Contract, and shall incur interest at the rate provided in Section 2.5. 

(c) Each of the Credit Parties unconditionally agrees to indemnify the Agent and the F/X Bank and holds the Agent and the F/X
Bank harmless from any and all loss, claim or liability incurred by the Agent or the F/X Bank arising from any transactions or occurrences relating to F/X Contracts, the collateral relating thereto, and all Obligations thereunder, including any such
loss or claim due to any errors, omissions, negligence, misconduct or action taken by the F/X Bank, other than for any such loss, claim or liability arising out of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent or the F/X Bank, as

account.

taken by the F/X Bank, under or in connection with the F/X Contracts or the Collateral, shall be binding on the Credit Parties and shall not result in any liability whatsoever of the Agent or any Lender to any Credit Party. 

(e) All rights, remedies, duties and obligations of the Credit Parties in respect of F/X Contracts shall be secured by the
Liens arising under the Security Documents.

the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a

in compliance with all Applicable 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. Neither the Borrower nor any other 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

Titles to Real Property. The Borrower and each other Credit Party have indefeasible fee simple title to their respective owned real properties (or in Quebec, immoveable properties), and with respect to leased real properties, indefeasible

 -53- 








 3.10 Titles to Personal Property. The Borrower and
each other Credit Party have title to their respective owned personal properties (or, in Quebec, moveable properties), and with respect to leased personal properties, title to the leasehold estate with respect thereto, pursuant to valid and

 3.11 Pension Plans. Schedule 3.11 lists all Pension Plans and Benefit Plans
maintained or contributed to by each Credit Party as at December 31, 2017, and indicates, for each Pension Plan, whether such Pension Plan is a defined benefits plan (“Defined Benefits Plan”) or a defined contribution plan. Since
December 31, 2017, no Credit Party has established any new Defined Benefits Plan. Except for employees of any Credit Party who were, as of December 31, 2008, a beneficiary of a Defined Benefits Plan, no employee of any Credit Party
(including, for greater certainty, any new employee of any Credit Party who became employed after such date) has, is or will be entitled to become a beneficiary of a Defined Benefits Plan. Other than as set forth in Schedule 3.11, no Credit Party
has converted any Defined Benefits Plan to a defined contribution plan which is continuing. The Pension Plans are duly registered under the ITA and any other Applicable Laws which require registration, have been administered in accordance with the
ITA 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 the Borrower and each other Credit Party (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 inactive plans or outstanding disputes concerning the assets of the Pension Plans
or any benefit plans. No promises of benefit improvements under the Pension Plans or any benefit plans have been made except where such improvement could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All contributions or premiums
required to be made or paid by the Borrower and each other Credit Party to the Pension Plans or any benefit plans have been made on a timely basis in accordance with the terms of such plans and all Applicable Laws. There have been no improper
withdrawals or applications of the assets of the Pension Plans or any benefit plans. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.11, as of the date hereof, each of the Pension Plans is fully funded on a solvency basis and going concern basis (using
actuarial methods and assumptions which are consistent with the valuations last filed with the applicable Governmental Authorities and which are consistent with GAAP). Neither the Borrower, nor any Credit Party is subject to the United States
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Subject to the matters disclosed in Schedule 3.11: 

(a) for any Pension Plan or fund, and for any other employee benefit plan which is a defined contribution plan requiring the
Borrower or each other Credit Party to contribute thereto, or to deduct from payments to any individual and pay such deductions into or to the credit of such Pension Plan or fund, all required employer contributions have been properly withheld by
the Borrower or such Subsidiary and fully paid into the funding arrangements for the applicable Pension Plan or fund, 
 (b)
except as otherwise set forth in Schedule 3.11, for any Defined Benefits Plan, in each case of the Borrower or any other Credit Party: (A) each such Pension Plan or fund or Defined Benefits Plan is fully funded on both a solvency basis and a
going concern basis, (B) the most recent actuarial valuations in respect thereof are disclosed in Schedule 3.11, (C) no material changes have occurred since the date of such actuarial valuations which could reasonably be expected to
materially adversely affect the conclusions of the actuary concerning the funding of any Defined Benefits Plan, and (D) all payments and contributions required to be remitted or paid to or in respect of each such Pension Plan or fund or Defined
Benefits Plan, including special payments and any other payments in respect of any funding deficiencies or shortfalls, have been remitted or paid to or in respect of each such plan in a timely fashion, in accordance in all material respects with the
terms of the plan and all Applicable Law, and 

  
 -54- 








 (c) any assessments owed to any government-sponsored pension benefits guarantee
fund, or other assessments or payments required under similar legislation in any other jurisdiction, have been paid when due. 
 
3.12 Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any other Credit Party is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 3.13
Defaults. Neither the Borrower nor any other 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 would
have a Material Adverse Effect) under any loan or credit agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other instrument or agreement evidencing or pertaining to any Indebtedness of or Lien against the Borrower or any other
Credit Party, or under any material agreement or instrument to which the Borrower or any other Credit Party is a party or by which the Borrower or any other Credit Party is bound, except as disclosed to the Lenders in Schedule 3.13. No Default
has occurred and is continuing. 
 3.14 Casualties; Taking of Properties. Since
December 31, 2017, neither the business nor the properties of the Borrower or any other Credit Party have been affected in a manner that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect as a result of any fire,
explosion, earthquake, flood, drought, windstorm, accident, embargo, requisition or taking of property or cancellation of contracts, permits or concessions by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, riot, activities of armed forces, or acts
of God or of any public enemy.

Schedule 3.15 correctly sets forth the (i) names, (ii) form of legal entity, (iii) Equity Securities issued and outstanding, (iv) Equity Securities owned by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower (and specifying such
owner), and (v) jurisdictions of organization of all Subsidiaries of the Borrower. Except as described in Schedule 3.15, as of the date of this Agreement, the Borrower does not own any Equity Securities or debt security which is
convertible, or exchangeable, for Equity Securities of any other Person. Unless otherwise indicated in Schedule 3.15, as of the date of this Agreement, all of the outstanding Equity Securities of each Restricted Subsidiary is owned of record
and beneficially by the Borrower, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase Equity Securities of any such Restricted Subsidiary, and all such Equity Securities so owned are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, and were issued in compliance with all applicable federal, provincial or foreign securities and other Applicable Laws, and are free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. 

  
 -55- 








 3.16 Insurance. All policies of fire, liability,
workers’ compensation, casualty, flood, business interruption and other forms of insurance owned or held by the Borrower or any other Credit Party are (a) sufficient for compliance with all requirements of Applicable Law and of all
agreements to which the Borrower or any other Credit Party is a party, (b) are valid, outstanding and enforceable policies, (c) provide adequate insurance coverage in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but including in
any event public liability) as are usually insured against in the same general area by Persons engaged in the same or a similar business to the assets and operations of the Borrower and each other Credit Party, and (d) will not in any way be
adversely affected by, or terminate or lapse by reason of, the Transactions. All such material policies are in full force and effect, all premiums with respect thereto have been paid in accordance with their respective terms, and no notice of
cancellation or termination has been received with respect to any such policy. Neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party maintains any formalized self-insurance program with respect to its assets or operations or material risks with respect
thereto. The certificate of insurance delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 4.1(f) contains an accurate and complete description of all material policies of insurance owned or held by the Borrower and each other Credit Party on the date of
this Agreement that relate to the Collateral and business interruption. 
 3.17
Solvency. Neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party is an “insolvent person” within the meaning of the BIA. 

3.18 Material Contracts. Schedule C sets out all Material Contracts as of the date of this
Agreement. A true and complete copy of each Material Contract has been delivered to the Agent as of the date of this Agreement. Each of the Material Contracts is in full force and effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in

 -69-

excepted, except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

relation to its business and activities. The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, permit any representatives designated by the Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine
and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested. 

5.6 Compliance with Applicable Laws and Material Contracts. The Borrower will, and will cause
each Restricted Subsidiary to, comply with all Applicable Laws and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and with all of its material contractual obligations, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the

the Agent. 
 5.7 Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Revolving
Loans will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower. Letters of Credit will be issued only to support general corporate purposes of the Borrower. 

5.8 Further Assurances. The Borrower will and will cause each other Credit Party to cure promptly
any defects in the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, including this Agreement. Upon request, the Borrower will, at its expense, as promptly as practical, execute and deliver to the Agent, all such other and further documents, agreements
and instruments (and cause each other Credit Party to take such action) in compliance with or performance of the covenants and agreements of the Borrower or any other Credit Party in any of the Loan Documents, including this Agreement, or to further

created pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, or to make any recordings, to file any notices, or obtain any consents, all as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith, in the judgment of the Agent, acting reasonably. 

  
 -70- 








 5.9 Insurance. The Borrower shall, and shall cause
each other Credit Party to, maintain insurance on its property and assets under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such reasonable amounts and covering such insurable risks as are at all times reasonably satisfactory to
the Agent. All such policies are subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Liens holding claims senior to the Agent, to be made payable to the Agent, to the extent required herein, in case of loss, under a standard non contributory
“mortgagee”, “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as the Agent may require to fully protect the Agent’s interest in the property and assets subject to the Liens in favour of
the Agent and to any payments to be made under such policies. All original policies or true copies thereof are to be delivered to the Agent, premium prepaid, with a loss payable endorsement in respect of the Collateral and in respect of business
interruption insurance in the Agent’s favour, and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default
which is not waived in writing by the Agent, the Agent shall, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Liens holding claims senior to the Agent, have the sole right, in the name of the Agent, the Borrower or any other applicable Credit
Party, to file claims under any insurance policies in respect of the Collateral and in respect of business interruption insurance, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all
endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any such claims under any such insurance policies. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, all insurance proceeds in respect of any Collateral shall be paid to the Agent. The Agent may apply such insurance proceeds to the Obligations in such manner as it may deem advisable in its sole discretion. In the
event the Borrower fails to provide the Agent with timely evidence, acceptable to the Agent, of the maintenance of insurance coverage required pursuant to this Section 5.9, or in the event that any Credit Party fails to maintain such insurance,
the Agent may purchase or otherwise arrange for such insurance, but at the Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on the Agent’s part for: (i) obtaining the insurance; (ii) the solvency of the insurance companies;
(iii) the adequacy of the coverage; or (iv) the collection of claims. The insurance acquired by the Agent may, but need not, protect the Borrower’s or any other Credit Party’s interest in the Collateral, and therefore such
insurance may not pay claims which the Borrower may have with respect to the Collateral or pay any claim which may be made against the Borrower in connection with the Collateral. In the event the Agent purchases, obtains or acquires insurance
covering all or any portion of the Collateral, the Borrower shall be responsible for all of the applicable costs of such insurance, including premiums, interest (at the applicable interest rate for Revolving Loans set forth in Section 2.5),
fees and any other charges with respect thereto, until the effective date of the cancellation or the expiration of such insurance. The Agent may charge all of such premiums, fees, costs, interest and other charges to the Borrower’s Operating
Account. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the costs of the premiums of any insurance acquired by the Agent may exceed the costs of insurance which the Borrower may be able to purchase on its own. In the event that the Agent purchases such
insurance, the Agent will promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) 
days, notify the Borrower of said purchase. 
 5.10 Operation and Maintenance of
Property. The Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, manage and operate its business or cause its business to be managed and operated (i) in accordance with prudent industry practice in all material respects and in
compliance in all material respects with the terms and provisions of all applicable licenses, leases, contracts and agreements, and (ii) in compliance with all Applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which such businesses are carried on, and all
Applicable Laws of every other Governmental Authority from time to time constituted to regulate the ownership, management and operation of such businesses, except in each instance where a failure to so manage and operate would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 5.11 Additional Subsidiaries; Additional Liens. If,
at any time on or after the Original Effective Date, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary creates or acquires an additional Subsidiary or in some other fashion becomes the holder of any Equity Securities of a new Subsidiary: 

(a) the Borrower will, and will cause any relevant Restricted Subsidiary, to immediately execute and deliver to the Agent a
securities pledge agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, granting a security interest in 100% of the Equity Securities of such new Subsidiary owned by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary; and 

(b) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower will cause such new Subsidiary to immediately execute and deliver
to the Agent (i) a Guarantee, and (ii) mortgages, security agreements and other security-related documents covering such new Subsidiary’s property, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, acting reasonably; 

provided that, if such new Subsidiary does not have, but only for so long as such new Subsidiary does not have, assets of more than
Cdn.$1,000,000, the Borrower shall not be required to comply with this Section with respect to such new Subsidiary. If, at any time after the Original Effective Date, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary makes a permitted acquisition with
respect to a Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall, and shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary, to execute and deliver to the Agent at the time of such permitted acquisition, additional pledge agreements granting a security
interest in 100% of the Equity Securities of such Person owned by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, respectively. In connection with the execution and delivery of any guarantee, pledge agreement, mortgage, security agreement or related
document pursuant to this Section, the Borrower will, or will cause the relevant Credit Party to, deliver to the Agent such corporate resolutions, certificates, legal opinions and such other related documents as shall be reasonably requested by the
Agent and consistent with the relevant forms and types thereof delivered on the Original Effective Date or as shall be otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Each guarantee, pledge agreement, mortgage, security agreement, Bank Act Security
and other document delivered pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be a Security Document from and after the date of execution thereof. 

5.12 Financial Covenants. If, at any time, an Event of Default has occurred or the Excess
Availability is less than Cdn.$5,000,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), and until the Excess Availability thereafter becomes greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount for a period of not less than 7 Business Days, the Borrower shall
maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.10:1.00 for each Rolling Period, provided that, if the Excess Availability becomes greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount for a period of not less than 7 Business Days immediately
thereafter, upon each such occurrence, such Excess Availability greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount shall be deemed to have been in effect from the date such Threshold Amount was first re-established, solely for the purpose of allowing the
Borrower to comply with Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio hereunder. 
 5.13 Post Closing
Undertakings. Borrower will ensure that all post closing undertakings as set forth in Schedule 5.13 (collectively, the “Undertakings”) have been satisfied within the time periods set forth therein and any failure to satisfy
any of the Undertakings within the applicable time periods shall constitute an Event of Default. 

  
 -72- 








 5.14 Canadian Pension Plans. The Borrower and each
other Credit Party shall administer any Canadian Pension Plans in accordance with the requirements of the applicable pension plan texts, funding agreements, any other documents governing such Canadian Pension Plans, the ITA and applicable federal or
provincial pension benefits legislation except for any non-compliance which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Credit Parties and Affiliates to, promptly provide the
Agent with any documentation relating to any of the Canadian Pension Plans as the Agent may reasonably request. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Credit Parties and Affiliates to, notify the Agent within thirty (30) days of:
(i) a material increase in the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of any of the Canadian Pension Plans; and (ii) commencing payment of contributions to a Canadian Pension Plan to which the Borrower had not previously been
contributing. 
 5.15 Application under the CCAA. The Borrower
acknowledges that its business and financial relationships with the Agent and the Lenders are unique from its relationship with any other of its creditors. The Borrower agrees that it shall not file any plan of arrangement under the
Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the “CCAA Plan”) which provides for, or would permit, directly or indirectly, the Agent or the Lenders to be classified in the same class with any other creditor of the
Credit Parties for purposes of such CCAA Plan.

and is on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness permitted by this clause (g) shall not exceed Cdn.$4,000,000 at any time outstanding; 

  
 -73- 








 (h) any Indebtedness in respect of trade letters of credit;

Indebtedness being permitted only up to and including the Business Day immediately following the fiscal year end of the Lenders; 

(k) any Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Parent (on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Agent and Lenders) in respect

and be continuing, (iii) such Indebtedness shall mature and be repayable only after the Maturity Date, and (iv) if such Indebtedness is secured, such security shall not constitute a Lien on the Accounts or Inventory of the Borrower or any
other Credit Party, and shall be subject to a customary intercreditor agreement satisfactory to the Agent, acting reasonably, which would provide (among other things) that the Liens in favour of the Agent in respect of the assets other than the
Accounts or Inventory of the Borrower or any other Credit Party are subordinated to the Liens securing such other Indebtedness, and would provide for customary access rights for the Agent. 

6.2 Liens. No Credit Party will, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur,
assume or permit to exist any Lien on any property or asset now owned or hereafter acquired by the Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, or assign or sell any income or revenues (including Receivables) or rights in respect of any thereof,

 -82- 








 (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and without limiting
any rights or remedies arising under the Security Documents, (i) the Agent shall have for the benefit of the Lenders, in addition to all other rights of the Agent and the Lenders, the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law
in the jurisdiction where the Collateral is located and all rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents; (ii) the Agent may, at any time, take possession of the Collateral and keep it on the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s
premises, at no cost to the Agent or any Lender, or remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Agent may desire, or the Borrower or any Guarantor shall, upon the Agent’s demand, at the Borrower’s cost, assemble the
Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place convenient to the Agent; and (iii) the Agent may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the
Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion, and may postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new notice of sale. Without in any way
requiring notice to be given in the following manner, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors agree that any notice by the Agent of sale, disposition or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by applicable law or
otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Borrower and Guarantors if such notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least fifteen
(15) days prior to such action to the Borrower’s address specified in or pursuant to Section 9.1. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations
until the Agent or the Lenders receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the Agent may resell the Collateral without further notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor. If the Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the
Collateral by judicial process, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives: (A) the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required; (B) any demand for possession prior to the
commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (C) any requirement that the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment. The Borrower and each of the Guarantors agree that the
Agent and Lenders have no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. The Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, all of the Borrower’s property,
whether or not constituting Collateral, including its real estate, Equipment and intellectual property rights (including labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property), in
completing production of, advertising or selling any Collateral, and the Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Agent’s benefit for such purpose. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to
all expenses of sale, including legal fees, and then to the Obligations. The Agent will return any excess to the Borrower and Guarantors and the Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. 

(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Borrower and each of
the Guarantors hereby waive all rights to notice and hearing prior to the exercise by the Agent of the Agent’s rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to reply, attach or levy upon the Collateral without notice or
hearing. 

  
 -83- 








 (d) During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and upon the
direction of the Required Lenders the Agent shall, apply any and all payments received by the Agent in respect of any Obligations as set forth below. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all payments made by or for the account of
the Credit Parties to the Agent after any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), including proceeds of Collateral, shall be applied as follows: 

first, to payment of costs and expenses, including legal costs, of the Agent payable or reimbursable by the Credit Parties
under the Loan Documents; 
 second, to payment of legal costs of Lenders payable or reimbursable by the Borrower under this
Agreement; 
 third, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Obligations and fees owed to Agent, Lenders and the
Issuing Bank; 
 fourth, to payment of all Loans, reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, F/X Exposure and
Cover); 
 fifth, to payment of any other amounts owing which constitute Obligations; and 

sixth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto. 

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the
application to the next succeeding category, and (ii) each of the Lenders or other Persons entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to each applicable category. 

(e) If the Agent receives any payment from or for the account of a Credit Party in any currency other than the currency in
which the Obligation is denominated, the Agent may convert the payment (including the proceeds of realization upon any Collateral) in accordance with its normal practice into the currency in which such Obligation is denominated.

and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the 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) Agent Not Responsible. The 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

or the other Loan Documents, or the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. 

8.4 Certain Rights of the Agent. If the 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 Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless
and until the Agent shall have received written instructions from the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall
have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the 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 Agent. The 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 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 Agent. To the extent the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the
Borrower, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify the 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 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 Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from
the Agent’s gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or willful misconduct. 

  
 -85- 








 8.7 The Agent in its Individual Capacity. With
respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the Loans made by it, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, 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”, and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce, in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. The Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Borrower or any affiliate of the Borrower as if it
were not performing the duties, if any, specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

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 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.

of the ITA), subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
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 having a combined capital and surplus of at least Cdn.$100,000,000 or having a
parent company with combined capital and surplus of at least Cdn.$100,000,000. 
 (b) Rights, Powers, etc. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as 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 Agent under this Agreement.

Lender may take any independent legal action to enforce any obligation of the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Security Documents and the remedies provided thereunder to the
Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally, and further acknowledges that each Lender’s rights hereunder and under the Security Documents are to be exercised collectively, not severally, by the
Agent upon the decision of the Required Lenders. Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in the Security Documents, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action
hereunder or thereunder, including any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder, but that any such action shall be taken only by the Agent with the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders, provided that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders (or the Required Lenders) and where in the sole opinion of the Agent the exigencies of the situation so warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders (or the
Required Lenders) take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interests of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written consent being given by the Required Lenders,
it shall co-operate fully with the Agent to the extent requested by the Agent, and each Lender further covenants and agrees that all proceeds from the realization of or under the Security Documents, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, are
held for the benefit of all of the Lenders and shall be shared among the Lenders rateably in accordance with this Agreement, and each Lender acknowledges that all costs of any such realization (including all amounts for which the Agent is required
to be indemnified under the provisions hereof) shall be shared among the Lenders rateably in accordance with this Agreement. Each Lender covenants and agrees to do all acts and things and to make, execute and deliver all agreements and other
instruments, so as to fully carry out the intent and purpose of this Section and each Lender hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not seek, take, accept or receive any security for any of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument, writing or agreement ancillary hereto or thereto, other than such security as is provided hereunder or thereunder, and that it shall not enter into any agreement with
any of the parties hereto or thereto relating in any manner whatsoever to the Credit(s), unless all of the Lenders shall at the same time obtain the benefit of any such security or agreement, as the case may be. 

8.11 Quebec Security. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of
the Agent or any other Person acting as an agent or mandatary for the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby acknowledges that, for purposes of holding any security granted by the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary under any debenture, the Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir)
(within the meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Lenders and in particular for all present and future holders of any such debenture. Each Lender hereby irrevocably constitutes, to the extent necessary, the Agent as the
holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in order to hold security granted by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in the Province
of Quebec to secure the obligations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary under any debenture. Each assignee of a Lender shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of
attorney (fondé de pouvoir) by execution of an Assignment and Transfer. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 32 of the An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec), the Agent may acquire and be the
holder of any debenture. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that such debenture constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec. 

  
 -87- 








 8.12 F/X Contracts. The obligations of the Credit Parties in respect of an F/X
Contract between the Borrower and an F/X Bank or a Lender Affiliate are secured by the Security Documents, pari passu with the obligations of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents, provided that all decisions regarding the administration and
enforcement of the security interests granted under the Security Documents shall be made by the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, and while this Agreement remains in effect, any F/X Bank or Lender Affiliate shall (in such capacity) have no
voting rights under this Agreement and no other right whatsoever to participate in the administration or enforcement of such security interests. For the avoidance of doubt but without limitation, any or all of the Security Documents or any rights
contained therein may be amended or released by the Agent without the consent of any F/X Bank or Lender Affiliate. Each Lender that is or becomes an F/X Bank shall be bound as such by virtue of its execution and delivery of this Agreement or an
assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E, as applicable, notwithstanding that such capacity as F/X Bank may not be identified on its signature line.

 (c) Any party hereto may change its
address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to

 9.2 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.2(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document (or any provision hereof or thereof) may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (and for greater certainty, any such waiver, amendment or
modification shall not require any consent or other agreement of any Credit Party other than the Borrower, notwithstanding that any such Credit Party may be a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document); provided that no such
agreement shall: 
  

	 	(i)	 increase the amount or extend the expiry date of any Commitment of any Lender; 



  
 -89- 









	 	(ii)	 reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest or any fee applicable to any Loan;



  

	 	(iii)	 postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any
fees payable in respect thereof, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment; 


  

	 	(iv)	 change any aspect of this Agreement in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments
required herein; 


  

	 	(v)	 change any of the provisions of this Section 9.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders”
or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder; 



 

	 	(vi)	 waive any Event of Default under Section 7.1(i), (j) or (k); or 



 

	 	(vii)	 release the Borrower or any Subsidiary from any material obligations under the Security Documents and other
instruments contemplated by this Agreement, release or discharge any of the Liens arising under the Security Documents, permit the creation of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, on any of the assets subject to the Liens arising under the
Security Documents, lower the priority of any Lien arising under any of the Security Documents, or lower the priority of any payment obligation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under any of the Loan Documents or, in the case of clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 


 in each case
without the prior written consent of each Lender; or, in the case of the matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby and provided further that no such
agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Agent. For greater certainty, the Agent may release and discharge the Liens constituted by the Security Documents
to the extent necessary to enable the Borrower to complete any asset sale which is not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 

9.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including
the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent and all applicable Taxes, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, (ii) all reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent and applicable Taxes, in connection with any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents, (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (iii) all Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by the Agent or any
Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent or any Lender and all applicable Taxes, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under
this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 

  
 -90- 








 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, as well as
each Related Party and each assignee of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person and each such assignee being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, cost recovery
actions, damages, expenses and liabilities of whatsoever nature or kind and all 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 delivery of the
Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions thereunder, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honour a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related
in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (v) any other aspect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (vi) the enforcement of any Indemnitee’s rights hereunder and any related investigation, defence, preparation of defence,
litigation and enquiries, in each case regardless of whether or not the Acquisition is consummated; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or wilful
misconduct of or material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails
to pay any amount required to be paid under Sections 9.3 (a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent, in its capacity as such.

 (d) The Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law), any claim
against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document, or any agreement or
instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e)
Any inspection of any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries made by or through the Agent or any Lender is for purposes of administration of the Credits only, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is entitled to rely upon
the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of the Borrower). 

  
 -91- 








 (f) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed,
fulfilled or given to the Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the 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 Agent or the Lenders. 

(g) The relationship between the Borrower and the Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of
borrowers and lenders. Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the 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 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 Agent or the Lenders in connection with
such matters is solely for the protection of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon. 

(h) The 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary and/or their Affiliates and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Agent and the Lenders
harmless from any such loss, damage, liability or claim. 
 (i) This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and
setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders, and the 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. 

(j) All amounts due under this Section 9.3 shall be payable not later than three 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 its 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 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 Agent and the Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

  
 -92- 








 (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 of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a
Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, each of the Agent and the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided further
that (ii) 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, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a
Lender Affiliate 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
Transfer relating to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than Cdn.$5,000,000 (or, in the case of a U.S. Dollar-denominated Commitment, the U.S.$ Equivalent of Cdn.$5,000,000), unless each of the Borrower and the Agent
otherwise consent in writing and the amount held by each Lender after each such assignment shall not be less than Cdn.$5,000,000 (or, in the case of a U.S. Dollar-denominated Commitment, the U.S.$ Equivalent of Cdn.$5,000,000), unless each of
the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent in writing, (iv) 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, (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Transfer, together with (except in the case of an assignment to a
Lender or a Lender Affiliate) a processing and recordation fee of Cdn.$7,500, payable by the assigning Lender, (vi) in the case of an assignment to a Foreign Lender, such Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to require any payment under
Section 2.14(a)(i) as a result of any withholding tax exigible in respect of any payment by the Borrower to such Foreign Lender hereunder, and (vii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire. The 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 Transfer, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Transfer, 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 Transfer, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Transfer 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 2.12, 2.13, and 2.14 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). 
 (c) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Toronto, Ontario a copy of each Assignment and Transfer 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 Loans and the amount of the Reimbursement Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent, and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

  
 -93- 








 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Transfer 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 Agent shall accept such Assignment and Transfer 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 or the 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 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 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 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 Applicable 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 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.14 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 2.14 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 2.14(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. 

  
 -94- 








 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 and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the 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 or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Sections 2.5(m), 2,12, 2.13, 2.14 and 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 Letters of Credit and 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 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 Agent and when the 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 or other electronically scanned method of delivery 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 Applicable 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.

 9.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the Laws of the Province of
British Columbia. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Province of British Columbia, and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or for recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in British Columbia. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Agent or
any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction. 

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in this Section 9.9. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any forum non conveniens defence to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in
Section 9.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. 

9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for

 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and each
Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to each of their, and each of their Affiliates’, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors,
including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential),
(b) to the extent requested by any rating agency, regulatory authority or other Governmental Authority, or their legal counsel, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (f) subject
to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or Participant (or such assignee’s or Participant’s advisors) in any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) any financial institution, credit reporting agency or credit
bureau, (h) any Person with whom the Borrower may have or proposes to have financial dealings, or (i) with the consent of the Borrower. For greater certainty, the Borrower acknowledges that from time to time, the Borrower may request the
Agent to facilitate the provision of certain financial services offered by CIBC (the “CIBC Services”). In such circumstances, CIBC policies and procedures (“CIBC’s Policies”) will apply in respect of all
transactions undertaken by CIBC in connection with the provision of the CIBC Services, including any required due diligence investigation and related business approval processes conducted in respect of the Borrower. The Borrower consents to the
disclosure of Information by the Agent to CIBC for the purpose of facilitating compliance with CIBC’s Policies. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Credit
Party relating to the Borrower, any of the Credit Parties, or their respective business, other than Information that is (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (ii) any such information that
is or becomes available to the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or CIBC on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, or (iii) was already in the possession of the Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any CIBC Lender prior to its
disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified as confidential in writing at the time of delivery. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person
would accord to its own confidential information. 
 9.13 Press Releases and Related
Materials. Each Credit Party agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of the Agent or referring to this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents without
prior notice to the Agent unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so by law or pursuant to any applicable regulatory policy protocol or rule. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by the Agent or
any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using its name, product photographs, logo or trademark. The Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any advertising material to Borrower
for review and comment prior to the publication thereof. The Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

 9.14 Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. 

(a) The Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing
Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” Laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML
Legislation”), the Lenders and the Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrower, its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the
Borrower, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Agent, or any prospective
assignee or participant of a Lender or the Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. 

(b) If the Agent has ascertained the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower for the purposes
of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent: 
  

	 	(i)	 shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a
“written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or
warranty as to its accuracy or completeness. 


 Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be
agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any
information it obtains from the Borrower or any such authorized signatory in doing so. 
 9.15 No
Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by
the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. 

9.16 Paramountcy. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and
the provisions of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. 
 9.17

SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT,
OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND THE BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR, EACH LENDER AND THE AGENT HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR
