Each change resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall be
effective with respect to all outstanding Loans retroactively from the first day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, and shall be based on the VL Groups financial statements and Compliance Certificates required by subsections 12.15.1 and
12.15.2, as applicable, and the Leverage Ratio derived from such financial statements. Thus, the financial statements and Compliance Certificates which shall be delivered 60 days after quarter-end and 75 days after year-end (based on unaudited
results and subject to readjustment upon delivery of a second Compliance Certificate in accordance with the provisions of subsection 12.15.2(b)) will be used to calculate the Leverage Ratio applicable from the first day of the quarter in which such
financial statements and Compliance Certificates were to be delivered. For example, the financial statements and Compliance Certificates to be delivered in respect of the quarter ending May 31 of any year of the Term shall be delivered by
July 30 of that year, and shall be used to calculate the Leverage Ratio for the period from June 1 of that year to August 31 of that year. If, as a result of an increase in the Leverage Ratio, the Margin has increased, the Agent will
advise the Borrower and the Lenders and the Borrower will pay all additional amounts that may be due to the Lenders within 2 Business Days of being advised of the amount due. If, as a result of a reduction in the Leverage Ratio, the Margin has been
reduced, the Agent shall advise the Borrower and the Lenders and the amounts owed to the Borrower (a) will be deducted from the Stamping Fees otherwise payable in the case of a BA Advance, on the next Rollover Date of the relevant BA Advance,
or (b) in the case of Prime Rate Advances, will be deducted from the interest otherwise payable by the Borrower on the next interest payment date contemplated by Section 5.2, or (c) in the case of Letters of Credit, will be deducted
from the LC Fees otherwise payable by the Borrower on the next LC Fee payment date contemplated by Section 4.3.2, and (d) if no interest or Stamping Fees are payable during that period, the Lenders shall remit the necessary amounts to the

The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of
Credit, except for errors or omissions that result directly from the intentional or gross fault of the Issuing Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions of this Section 4.3, (A) any action
taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or any of its respective correspondents under or in connection with any of the Letters of Credit, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross or intentional fault, as determined by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put the Issuing Lender or its respective correspondents under any resulting liability to the Borrower and (B) the Issuing Lender may, without gross or intentional
fault as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation,

on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit,

provided that the Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the
terms of such Letter of Credit.



| | 4.3.4 | Indemnification.
| | ----- | ----------------



| | 4.3.4.1 | The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuing Lender and each of its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, advisors and
agents (the Indemnitees) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities which the Indemnitees may incur (or which may be claimed against any Indemnitee) by any Person by reason of or in connection with the
issuance or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to an Indemnitee, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found by a
final, non-appealable judgment of a court to arise from the gross or intentional fault of such Indemnitee.
| | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 4.3.4.2 | The Borrower agrees, as between the Borrower and the Issuing Lender, that the Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse by
the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit.
| | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 4.3.4.3 | Neither the Issuing Lender nor the Agent or any other Lender shall, in any way, be liable for any failure by the Issuing Lender or anyone else to

| | ------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 4.3.4.4 | The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 4.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No acts or omissions of any current or
prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Issuing Lender to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Agreement.
| | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.3.5 LC Escrowed Funds. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or if a Mandatory Repayment to be
made would require the repayment of outstanding Letters of Credit prior to their maturity, the Borrower will forthwith, upon request from the Issuing Lender or the Agent, pay to the Agent for deposit into an escrow account maintained by and
in the name of the Agent, (i) in the case of the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default, the amount equal to the Issuing Lenders maximum potential exposure under the then outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) in the
case of a Mandatory Repayment requiring the repayment of outstanding Letters of Credit prior to their maturity, the amount equal to the proportion of such Mandatory Repayment that would require Letters of Credit to be repaid prior to their maturity
(in each case, the LC Escrowed Funds). The LC Escrowed Funds will be held by the Agent for compensation



33



---

or set-off against future Indebtedness owing by the Borrower to the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letters of Credit and pending such application will bear interest at the rate declared by the
Agent from time to time as that payable by it in respect of deposits for such amount and for the period from the date of deposit to the maturity date of the Letters of Credit. If such Event of Default is either waived or cured in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement, then the remaining LC Escrowed Funds, if any, together with any accrued interest to the date of release, will be released to the Borrower. The deposit of the LC Escrowed Funds by the Borrower with the Agent as herein
provided will not operate as a repayment on account of the Loan Obligations until such time as the LC Escrowed Funds are actually paid to the Issuing Lender as a repayment of principal hereunder. The Borrower shall sign and remit as Security with
regard thereto all appropriate documents that the Agent or the Issuing Lender might judge necessary or desirable.

4.3.6 Resignation. The Issuing Lender may resign as such (a Resigning Issuing Lender) upon 15 days prior written notice to the Agent and the Borrower, in which event the Borrower shall designate another
Lender as Issuing Lender. Upon acceptance by another Lender of the appointment as Issuing Lender (the Successor Issuing Lender), the Successor Issuing Lender shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Resigning Issuing
Lender and shall have all the rights and obligations of the Resigning Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon request by any of the Resigning Issuing Lender, the Successor Issuing Lender, the Agent or the Borrower,
each of the Resigning Issuing Lender, the Agent, the Borrower and the Successor Issuing Lender shall enter into an agreement evidencing the appointment of the Successor Issuing Lender and dealing with such other matters as the parties may agree
including any reallocation of fees paid in relation to outstanding Letters of Credit which may be necessary. Following the resignation of the Resigning Issuing Lender, the Resigning Issuing Lender shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but the Resigning Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Issuing Lender shall inure to the benefit of the Resigning Issuing Lender as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (a) while it was the Issuing Lender
under this Agreement or (b) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender.



| | 4.4 | Cash Management Facilities
| | --- | --------------------------

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender that provides the Cash Management Facilities (the Cash Management Lender) shall make Advances to
the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreements governing the Cash Management Facilities, the purpose of which shall be to provide the Borrower with a deemed Prime Rate Advance or US Base Rate Advance in connection with
any negative balance in a consolidation account, and shall issue letters of credit subject to the Borrower executing the Cash Management Lenders standard documentation with respect thereto. The fee for each such letter of credit shall be equal
to the then applicable Stamping Fee. The Borrower and each of the Lenders agrees that any amounts due to the Cash



34



---

Management Lender under the Cash Management Facilities shall be deemed to form part of the Loan under the Revolving Facility and shall be secured by the Security. For greater certainty, only the
net Loan under the Cash Management Facilities (including outstanding letters of credit) will be treated as Advances hereunder at the end of any particular day. The Cash Management Lender shall advise the Agent of any outstanding Advances upon the
request of the Agent.



| | 4.5 | Operation of Accounts
| | --- | ---------------------

The Agent shall maintain in its books at the Agency Branch a record of the Loan, including the Bankers Acceptances issued by the Borrower, attesting as to the total of the Borrowers
indebtedness to the Lenders in accordance with the provisions hereof and with the provisions of the Security Documents. These accounts or registers shall constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie proof of the total amount of
the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the Security Documents, of the date of any Advance made to the Borrower and of the total of all amounts paid by the Borrower from time to time with
respect to principal and interest owing on the Loan and the fees and other sums exigible in accordance with the provisions hereof or of the Security Documents.



| | 4.6 | Apportionment of Advances
| | --- | -------------------------

The amount of each Advance will be apportioned among the Lenders by the Agent by reference to the Commitment of each Lender, as such Commitment shall be immediately prior to the
making of any Advance, subject to the provisions of Section 6.9 hereof with respect to BA Advances. If any amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by a Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount (together with interest
thereon at the rate determined by the Agent as being its cost of funds in the circumstances) on demand from such Lender or, if such Lender fails to reimburse the Agent for such amount on demand, from the Borrower.



| | 4.7 | Limitations on Advances
| | --- | -----------------------

The undrawn Credit available under the Revolving Facility shall cease to be available at the expiry of the Disbursement Period.

| | --- | -------------------

Any notice given to the Agent in accordance with Articles 4 or 6 may not be revoked or withdrawn.



| | 4.9 | Market for Bankers Acceptances and Libor Advances
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------

If at any time or from time to time: (a) there no longer exists a market for Bankers Acceptances or, (b) as a
result of market conditions, (i) there exists no appropriate or reasonable method to establish LIBOR, for a Selected Amount or a Designated Period, or (ii) Canadian Dollar deposits are not available to the Foreign Lenders in such market in
the



35



---

ordinary course of business in amounts sufficient to permit them to make the Libor Advance, for a Selected Amount or a Designated Period, such Lenders shall so advise the Agent and, subject to
the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof with regard to the Foreign Lenders, any such Lenders shall not be obliged to accept drafts of the Borrower presented to such Lenders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement nor to honour any notices of
borrowing in connection with any Libor Advances, and the Borrowers option to request BA Advances or Libor Advances, as the case may be, shall thereupon be suspended upon notice by the Agent to the Borrower.



| | 4.10 | Suspension of BA Advance and Libor Advance Option
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------

If a notice has been given by the Agent in accordance with Section 4.9 and except as provided in the next sentence of
this Section, the BA Advance or the Libor Advance, or any part thereof, as the case may be, shall not be made (whether as an Advance, a conversion or an extension) by the Lenders and the right of the Borrower to choose that Advances be made or, once
made, be converted or extended into the BA Advance or the Libor Advance, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such time as the Agent has determined that the circumstances having given rise to such suspension no longer exist, in respect of
which determination the Agent shall advise the Borrower within a reasonable delay. If sufficient Canadian Dollar funds are not available to the Foreign Lenders, the Foreign Lenders shall be relieved from their obligation to make an Advance until
such time as such funds become available in sufficient amounts, but they shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof.



| | 4.11 | Limits on BA Advances, Letters of Credit and Libor Advances
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------

Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as authorizing the Borrower to issue Bankers Acceptances or borrow by
way of Libor Advances for a Designated Period expiring, nor to cause to be issued Letters of Credit maturing, on a date which results in a situation where the Credit cannot be reduced as required by this Agreement, or on a date which is after the
expiry of the Term (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit, on a date which is less than 5 Business Days before the expiry of the Term).



| | 4.12 | Specific Clause with Regard to Foreign Lenders
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------

In the event of a suspension of the Borrowers right to request Advances (including conversions and extensions) from one
or more Foreign Lenders under Sections 4.9 and 4.10 hereof (each an Affected Lender), each Affected Lender shall, concurrently with the notice described in Section 4.9, seek alternative sources of funding Cdn. $ Advances and,
if sufficient funds are obtained, shall notify the Borrower as to when such funds will be available for Advances. On the date indicated in such notice, the Affected Lender shall be deemed to have made an Advance with interest payable on the Prime
Rate Basis.

If within 5 Business Days following the notice described in Section 4.8, there remain one or
more Affected Lenders who have not been deemed to have made an Advance on the Prime Rate Basis under the preceding paragraph, such Lender (an Incapable Lender) shall provide an additional notice to the Agent and the Borrower of
such fact and the following provisions shall apply:



| | 4.12.1 | The Incapable Lender shall make US$ Advances on the Libor Basis, and the parties will negotiate such amendments hereto as may be required to give
full effect to such intention, it being understood that the Borrower alone will bear all foreign exchange risks; and

| | (b) | to the Lenders in the name of each Lender which is not a bank or does not accept bankers acceptances (a Non-BA Lender),
Discount Notes;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

completed and executed by its authorized signatories in sufficient quantity
for the Advance requested and in appropriate denominations to facilitate the sale of the Bankers Acceptances in the financial markets. No Lender shall be responsible or liable for its failure to accept a Bankers Acceptance hereunder if
such failure is due, in whole or in part, to the failure of the Borrower to give appropriate instructions to the Agent on a timely basis, nor shall the Agent or any Lender be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss
or improper use of any such instrument except a loss or improper use arising by reason of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent, such Lender, or their respective employees. In order to facilitate issuances of Bankers

and, at the request of the Borrower, to cancel such instruments which have been so completed and executed and which are held by such Lender and have not yet been issued hereunder.

such Lender being authorized by the Borrower to collect the Stamping Fee out of the BA Proceeds of those Bankers Acceptances;

(c) the BA Proceeds of the Bankers Acceptances to be purchased by such Lender on such Acceptance Date; and

(d) the amount obtained (the Available Proceeds) by subtracting the Stamping Fee mentioned in subsection 6.2.4(b) from the BA Proceeds mentioned in subsection

maturity, notify the Agent by way of a notice substantially in the form of Schedule B-1 (but omitting paragraph 3 thereof) that it intends to deposit in its account for the account of the Lenders on the Rollover Date an amount equal to
the principal amount of each such Bankers Acceptance.
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 6.5 | Deemed Conversions on the Maturity Date
| | --- | ---------------------------------------

If the Borrower does not deliver to the Agent one or more of the notices contemplated by subsections 6.4.1 or 6.4.2 or does not give the notice and make the deposit contemplated by
subsection 6.4.3, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the part of the BA Advance then outstanding which is reaching maturity be converted into a Prime Rate Advance.



| | 6.6 | Conversion and Extension Mechanism
| | --- | ----------------------------------

If under the conditions



| | 6.6.1 | of subsection 6.4.1 and of Section 6.5, the Borrower requests or is deemed to have requested, as the case may be, that the Agent convert the
portion of the BA Advance which is maturing into a Prime Rate Advance, the Lenders shall pay the Bankers Acceptances which are
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



43



---

| | outstanding and maturing. Such payments by the Lenders will constitute an Advance within the meaning of this Agreement and the interest thereon shall be calculated and payable as the Borrower may
request or may be deemed to have requested;
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 6.6.2 | of subsection 6.4.3, the Borrower makes a deposit in its account, without limiting in any way the generality of Section 17.5, the Borrower
hereby expressly and irrevocably authorizes the Agent to make any debits necessary in its account in order to pay the Bankers Acceptances which are outstanding and maturing.
| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 6.7 | Amounts given to the Lenders do not constitute a prepayment
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------

All amounts debited by the Agent from the Borrowers account in accordance with the provisions of subsection 6.6.2 shall
not constitute a prepayment in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3.



| | 6.8 | Prepayment of Bankers Acceptances
| | --- | ----------------------------------

Notwithstanding any provision hereof, the Borrower may not prepay any Bankers Acceptance other than on its maturity date; however, this provision shall not prevent the Borrower
from acquiring, in its discretion but subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, any Bankers Acceptance in circulation from time to time.



| | 6.9 | Apportionment Amongst the Lenders
| | --- | ---------------------------------

The Agent is authorized by the Borrower and each Lender to allocate amongst the Lenders (other than Foreign Lenders who cannot make BA Advances) the Bankers Acceptances to be
issued and purchased in such manner and amounts as the Agent may, in its sole discretion, but acting reasonably, consider necessary, so as to ensure that no Lender is required to accept and purchase a Bankers Acceptance for a fraction of
$100,000, and in such event, the Lenders respective Commitments in any such Bankers Acceptances and repayments thereof shall be altered accordingly. Further, the Agent is authorized by the Borrower and each Lender to cause the
proportionate share of one or more Lenders Advances (calculated based on its Commitment) to be exceeded by no more than $100,000 each as a result of such allocations provided that the principal amount of outstanding Advances, including
Bankers Acceptances, shall not thereby exceed the maximum amount of the respective Commitment of each Lender. Any resulting amount by which the requested face amount of any such Bankers Acceptance shall have been so reduced shall be
advanced, converted or continued, as the case may be, as a Prime Rate Advance, to be made contemporaneously with the BA Advance.



| | 6.10 | Cash Deposits
| | ---- | -------------

Each Lender may, in its discretion, at any time, in the absence of any demand by the Borrower to such effect, grant an Advance to the Borrower, the amount of which shall be



44



---

equivalent to the face value of all Bankers Acceptances then in circulation which have been accepted, which Advance shall not bear interest. The amount of the Advance shall not be taken
into account in order to calculate the amount of the Credit used pursuant hereto. The Agent shall retain the amount of the Advance in a non-interest bearing cash collateral account as security, for the benefit of the Borrower, which amount may be
entirely set-off against the amount of the Advance and the amount of the Bankers Acceptances in circulation which such Lender has accepted and may be imputed, in the Lenders discretion, to the payment of the Bankers Acceptances at
their maturity. The Borrower shall sign and remit as security with regard thereto all appropriate documents which the Lenders might judge necessary or desirable, specifically including an assignment of the credit balance of the deposit account held
as security.



| | 6.11 | Days of Grace
| | ---- | -------------

The Borrower shall not claim from the Lenders any days of grace for the payment at maturity of any Bankers Acceptances presented and accepted by the Lenders pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement. Further, the Borrower waives any defence to payment which might otherwise exist if for any reason a Bankers Acceptance shall be held by any Lender in its own right at the maturity thereof.



| | 6.12 | Obligations Absolute
| | ---- | --------------------

The obligations of the Borrower with respect to Bankers Acceptances shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following circumstances:



| | 6.12.1 | any lack of validity or enforceability of any draft accepted by any Lender as a Bankers Acceptance; or
| | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 6.12.2 | the existence of any claim, set-off, defence or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the holder of a Bankers
Acceptance, the Lenders, or any other person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 6.13 | Depository Bills and Notes Act
| | ---- | ------------------------------

Bankers Acceptances may be issued in the form of a depository bill and deposited with a clearing house, both terms as defined in the Depository Bills and Notes Act. The
Agent and the Borrower shall agree on the procedures to be followed, acting reasonably. The Lenders are also authorized to issue depository bills as replacements for previously issued Bankers Acceptances, on the same terms as those replaced,
and deposit them with a clearing house against cancellation of the previously issued Bankers Acceptances.

If a Lender, acting reasonably, determines (which determination shall be attested to by a certificate submitted to the Borrower by the Lender with a copy to the Agent (in the case of
a Revolving Lender) or the Finnvera Facility Agent (in the case of a Finnvera Facility Lender) and which shall be final and binding between the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error) that (a) the adoption by a governmental or
international authority (including the Bank for International Settlements (the BIS)) of a law, directive, requirement or guideline, whether or not having the force of law, (b) any modification to a law, directive or
guideline, whether or not having the force of law, or to the interpretation or application of same by a tribunal or governmental or international authority (including the BIS) or other body charged with such interpretation or application, or
(c) any quashing by a tribunal or other governmental or international authority or body (including the BIS) of an interpretation of any law, directive, requirement or guideline, whether or not having the force of law:



| | 7.1.1 | has rendered or will render it illegal or contrary to any law, directive or guideline for any of the Lenders to maintain or to give effect to all or
part of their obligations stipulated in this Agreement, including the obligation to make or maintain all or any part of a BA Advance or a Libor Advance or a Tranche A Advance pursuant to the terms hereof, then the obligation of such Lender(s) to
maintain or to give effect to such part of its or their obligations will become null and, subject to the provisions of the particular law, directive or guideline and of Section 7.2 with respect to losses, costs and expenses, if the Loan
affected is a BA Advance or a Tranche A CDOR Advance, the Borrower may convert the principal amount thereof into a Prime Rate Advance or an advance bearing interest on a Cost of Funds Basis (as defined in Schedule P), respectively. If
the Loan affected is a Libor Advance or a Tranche A LIBOR Advance, the provisions of Section 4.12 or Section 3.11 of Schedule P, respectively, shall apply. In either case, the Borrower shall pay the interest accrued thereon, or
may reimburse the particular BA Advance, Libor Advance, Tranche A CDOR Advance or Tranche A LIBOR Advance, as the case may be, in whole with interest accrued thereon.

of any then outstanding Libor Advances, BA Advance, Tranche A LIBOR Advances or Tranche A CDOR Advances, as the case may be, or, if in the judgment of the Lender expressed to the Agent (in the case of a Revolving Lender) or the Finnvera Facility
Agent (in the case of a Finnvera Facility Lender), as the case may be, in the certificate referred to above, an immediate conversion or reimbursement is necessary,

tax, reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement with respect to the assets held by, deposited at or used for the purchase of funds, or to the loans made by the Lenders, or (b) changes the basis of taxation on payments made to the
Lenders under this Agreement (other than a change affecting the taxes based on net profits of the Lenders), or (c) imposes upon the Lenders any other monetary conditions or restrictions with respect to this Agreement, all or any part of a Loan,
as the case may be, or any other document, effect or operation contemplated hereby, and if the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its Commitment or any Advance, or to reduce any amount
otherwise receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect thereto, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, within 10 Business Days (in the case of a Revolving Lender, as defined in Section 1.1.25 and in the case
of a Finnvera Facility Lender, as defined in Exhibit P-6 of Schedule P) from demand, such additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as is determined in good
faith by such Lender. If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.1, it shall promptly notify the Borrower, through the Agent or the Finnvera Facility Agent, as the case may be, of the event by reason
of which it has become so entitled and provide reasonable particulars of the calculation of such amount. A certificate of a Lender as to any such additional amounts payable to it shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.
| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 7.2 | Indemnity

The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against and hold each Lender, as well as its directors, officers and employees, harmless from any loss or expense, including without limitation any loss or expense
arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain any Advance and any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or re-employing deposits from which such funds were obtained, which such
Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any (a) default by the Borrower in the payment when due of the amount of or interest on any Loan or in the payment when due of any other amount hereunder, (b) default by the Borrower in
obtaining an Advance after the Borrower has given notice hereunder that it desires to obtain such Advance, (c) default by the Borrower in making any voluntary reduction of the outstanding amount of any Loan after the Borrower has given notice

Facility Lender), as the case may be, providing reasonable particulars of the calculation of any such loss or expense shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amount pursuant to
this Section 7.2, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and reasonable particulars of the related loss or expense, provided that the failure to do so promptly shall not prejudice such
Lenders right to claim hereunder.

Without prejudice to the survival or termination of any other
agreement of the Borrower under this Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 7.2 shall survive the payment of principal and interest on all Loans and the termination of the Credit.

| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



48

The Borrower shall advise the Agent of its intention to make any such
Mandatory Repayment by notice in writing substantially in the form of Schedule B-1, at least 5 and not more than 20 days before the Mandatory Repayment is due, and shall pay the amount of such Mandatory Repayment to the Agent when it is
due. All proceeds of each Mandatory Repayment shall be applied by the Agent on a pro ratabasis in accordance with the respective Commitments to (a) repay and permanently reduce the Revolving Facility, and (b) prepay and permanently
reduce the Finnvera Term Facility by paying the relevant portion of the Mandatory Repayment to the Finnvera Facility Agent for distribution to the Lenders under the Finnvera Term Facility.

part of the principal amount of the Loan under the Revolving Facility for the account of the Revolving Facility Lenders, provided that in respect of a BA Advance, no repayment shall be made on a date other than a maturity date of the Bankers
Acceptances outstanding at that time, with, in each case, all interest accrued and unpaid on the amounts so prepaid. In respect of Cdn. $ Libor Advances by Foreign Lenders, no repayment may be made on a day other than a Rollover Date, save as

respect of any portion of the Credit so cancelled.



| | 8.4 | Payment of Losses Resulting From a Prepayment or a Mandatory Repayment
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

If a prepayment or Mandatory Repayment to be made would require the repayment of outstanding Bankers Acceptances prior
to their maturity, or the repayment of a Libor Advance on a day other than a Rollover Date, the Borrower shall provide to the Agent cash collateral in an amount equal to the face amount of such Bankers Acceptances or the principal amount of
such Libor Advance, as the case may be, which cash collateral shall be held by the Agent in an interest bearing account and used to repay same at maturity or on the next Rollover Date, as the case may be. However, in the case where the prepayment or

If an Event of Default occurs under subsection 14.1.4, the Loans shall immediately become due and exigible, without presentation, demand, protest or other notice of any nature, to which the Borrower
hereby expressly renounces. If any other Event of Default occurs, the Agent may, at its option, and shall if required to do so by the Lenders, declare immediately due and exigible, without presentation, demand, protest or other notice of any nature,
to which the Borrower hereby expressly renounces, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary effect in this Agreement or in the Security Documents:



| | 14.2.1 | the entire amount of the Loan, including the amount corresponding to the principal amount of the BA Advances then outstanding, in principal and
interest, notwithstanding the fact that one or more of the holders of the Bankers Acceptances issued pursuant to the provisions hereof have not demanded payment in whole or in part or have demanded only partial payment from the Lenders, and

the Credit shall cease and as and from such time shall be cancelled, and the Lenders may
exercise all of their rights and recourses under the provisions of this Agreement and of the Security Documents. For greater certainty, from and after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, the Lenders shall not be obliged to make any
further Advances under the Credit.



82

| | 14.3 | Bankruptcy and Insolvency
| | ---- | -------------------------

If the Borrower files a notice of intention to file a proposal, or files a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, or if the Borrower obtains the permission of the court to
file a Plan of Arrangement under the Companies Creditors Arrangements Act, and if a stay of proceedings is obtained or ordered under the provisions of either of those statutes, without prejudice to the Lenders rights to contest such stay
of proceedings, the Borrower covenants and agrees to continue to pay interest on all amounts due to the Lenders in accordance with the provisions hereof. In this regard, the Borrower acknowledges that permitting the Borrower to continue to use the
proceeds of the Loan constitutes valuable consideration provided after the filing of any such proceeding in the same way that permitting the Borrower to use leased premises constitutes such valuable consideration.



| | 14.4 | Notice
| | ---- | ------

Except where otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice or demand of any nature is required to be given to the Borrower by the Agent in order to put the Borrower in default, the latter being in
default by the simple lapse of time granted to execute an obligation or by the simple occurrence of a Default.



| | 14.5 | Costs
| | ---- | -----

If an Event of Default occurs, and within the limits contemplated by Section 12.14, the Agent may impute to the account of the Lenders and pay to other persons reasonable sums for services rendered
with respect to the realization, recovery, sale, transfer, delivery and obtention of payment with respect to the Security and may deduct the amount of such costs and payments from the proceeds which it receives therefrom. The balance of such
proceeds may be held by the Agent in the place of such Security and, when the Agent decides it is opportune, may be applied to the account of the part of the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders which the Agent deems preferable, without
prejudice to the rights of the Lenders against the Borrower for any loss of profit.



| | 14.6 | Relations with the Borrower
| | ---- | ---------------------------

The Agent may grant delays, take security or renounce thereto, accept compromises, grant acquittances and releases and otherwise negotiate with the Borrower as it deems advisable
without in any way diminishing the liability of the Borrower or prejudicing the rights of the Lenders with respect to the Security.



| | 14.7 | Application of Proceeds
| | ---- | -----------------------

Subject to the provisions hereof, and as among the Lenders, subject in particular to the provisions of Section 18.8, the Agent may apply the proceeds of realization of the
property contemplated by the Security Documents and of any credit or compensating balance in reduction of the part of the Loan (principal, interest or accessories and/or the Negative Value of Derivative Instruments originally entered into with a
Lender) which the Agent judges appropriate. If any Lender is owed money by the Borrower as a result of Derivative Obligations, and, in particular, as a result of the Negative Value of Derivative Instruments, the claim of such Lender shall rank
pari passuwith the other amounts comprising the Loan.

|15. | JUDGMENT CURRENCY

money market or the Canadian exchange market, as the case may be, the First Currency with the Second Currency on the date on which the judgment is rendered, the sum is exigible or advanced or to be advanced, as the case may be. The Borrower agrees
that its obligations in respect of any First Currency due from it to the Lenders in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, notwithstanding any judgment rendered or payment made in the Second Currency, be discharged by a payment made to the
Agent on account thereof in the Second Currency only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt of such payment in the Second Currency, the Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase on the Canadian money market
or the Canadian foreign exchange market, as the case may be, the First Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid or which a judgment rendered exigible; and if the amount of the First Currency which may be so purchased is less than the
amount originally due in the First Currency, the Borrower agrees as a separate and independent obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Lenders against such deficiency.



| | 15.2 | Determination of an Equivalent Currency
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------

If, in their discretion, the Lenders, the Agent or the Finnvera Facility Agent choose or, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, are obliged to choose the equivalent in Canadian
Dollars of any securities or amounts expressed in US Dollars or the equivalent in US Dollars of any securities or amounts expressed in Canadian Dollars, the Agent or the Finnvera Facility Agent, as the case may be, in accordance with the conversion
rules as stipulated in Section 15.1



| | 15.2.1 | on the date indicated in the Notice of Borrowing as the date of a request for an Advance; and

| | 15.2.2 | at any other time which in the opinion of the Lenders is desirable;
| | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------

may, using the spot rate of the Agent or the Finnvera Facility Agent, as the case may be, on such date, determine the

P. However, the Finnvera Facility Agent shall advise the Agent of any Assignments under the Finnvera Term Facility and shall also provide a list of up-to-date Commitments of each Finnvera Facility Lender whenever any changes to such
Commitments occur.



| | 16.1 | Assignment by the Borrower
| | ---- | --------------------------

The rights of the Borrower under the provisions hereof are purely personal and may not be transferred or assigned, and the Borrower may not transfer or assign any of its obligations,
such assignment being null and of no effect opposite the Lenders and rendering any balance outstanding of the amounts referred to in Section 14.2 immediately due and exigible at the option of the Lenders and further releasing the Lenders from
any obligation to make any further Advances under the provisions hereof.



| | 16.2 | Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------

the Agent and the Issuing Lender, or, to the extent permitted under Section 17.15, to a Foreign Lender (the Assignee) in accordance with this Article 16 up to 100% of its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder (provided
that its aggregate retained Commitment, if any, under the Revolving Facility is not less than $5,000,000) with the prior consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrower may not refuse to consent to an
assignment or transfer on the sole grounds that the Assignee is a Foreign Lender, provided the provisions of Section 17.15 are respected. After the occurrence of a Default, any Lender may transfer all or any part of its rights, benefits and
obligations hereunder to any Person, without the consent of the Borrower, but upon notice to the Agent and the Borrower and subject to the consent of the Issuing Lender.

no restrictions shall apply, any such assignment or transfer under the Revolving Facility shall be for a minimum amount of $5,000,000 in the aggregate and in multiples of $1,000,000 thereafter.
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



85

| | 16.2.3 | Notwithstanding subsection 16.2.1, each Lender shall be entitled to assign or transfer, at its own cost, in accordance with the other provisions of
this Section 16 (including 16.5), its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to a parent or subsidiary corporation or an Affiliate of such Lender.
| | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 16.3 | Transfer Agreement
| | ---- | ------------------

execution and delivery of a duly completed and executed Transfer Agreement by such Lender to the Agent together with a transfer fee of $3,500 (other than in connection with the initial syndication of the Credit), at least 5 Business Days prior to
the effective date of such transfer, whereupon, to the extent that in such Transfer Agreement such Lender seeks to assign or transfer its rights and obligations hereunder:

Assignee;
| | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 16.3.2 | the Assignee shall assume the obligations of such Lender and acquire the rights of such Lender in respect of the Borrower, without novation of the
Borrowers obligations;
| | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 16.3.3 | the Agent, such Lender and the Assignee shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired
and assumed had the Assignee been an original party hereto with the obligations assumed and the rights acquired by it as a result of such assignment or transfer; in furtherance of such principle, the Assignee shall be deemed to have agreed to be
bound by the provisions of the Inter-Creditor Agreement, to the extent it remains in force at the relevant time, as if it had been an original party thereto; and
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 16.3.4 | the Borrower, the Agent and such Lenders shall all execute such documents and perform such acts as may be required to give effect to the transfer or
assignment.
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 16.4 | Notice
| | ---- | ------

The Agent shall promptly deliver an executed copy of any Transfer Agreement to each party thereto.



| | 16.5 | Sub-Participations
| | ---- | ------------------

A Lender may, at its own cost, grant one or more sub-participations in its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder, provided that, notwithstanding any such sub-participation, such



86



---

Lender shall remain, insofar as the Borrower and the Agent is concerned, as the Lender responsible hereunder, and the Borrower shall not be obliged to recognize any such sub-participant as having
the rights against it which it would have if it had been a party hereto.



| | 16.6 | General
| | ---- | -------

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article:



| | 16.6.1 | the Agent shall act as agent for each Assignee and, in this connection, with respect to all decisions, notices and other matters relating to
anything referred to in this Agreement, the Borrower shall only be obliged to give notice to or request consents from the Agent;
| | ------ | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 16.6.2 | except as the result of an assignment and transfer permitted under Section 17.15, the amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement
shall not increase, whether in respect of withholding on account of taxes or otherwise, as a result of any such assignment or transfer to an Assignee which is a non-resident of Canada as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada); and
| | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 16.6.3 | any Lender (a Granting Lender) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an SPV), identified as such
from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of an Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder; provided that (a) nothing
herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Advance, and (b) if an SPV does not make such Advance, the Granting Lender shall remain liable to do so. Any Advance by an SPV shall be made using the Commitment of the Granting Lender
as if the Advance in question had been made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or other payment hereunder, all of which liability shall remain with the Granting Lender. Accordingly, each
party further agrees (which agreement will survive the termination hereof) that it shall not institute any insolvency or other proceeding against the SPV until a date that is not less than one year and one day following the repayment of all of such
SPVs commercial paper and other senior Indebtedness. In addition, any SPV may (a) assign all or any portion of its interests in any Loans (i) with notice to, but without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, and without paying
any fees therefor, to the Granting Lender or (ii) to any financial institution, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding and maintenance of
Advances; and (b) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to the Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

The rights and recourses of the Lenders under this Agreement and the Security Documents are cumulative and do not exclude any other rights and recourses which the Lenders might have, and no omission or

without limitation, the accounts of any nature or kind which flow from or relate to this Agreement or the Security Documents, whether or not the Agent has made demand under the terms hereof or has declared the amounts referred to in

Each provision of this Agreement is separate and distinct from the others, such that any decision of a court or tribunal to the effect that any provision of this Agreement is null or unenforceable shall
in no way affect the validity of the other provisions of this Agreement or the enforceability thereof. Any provision of this agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the Borrower hereby waives any provision of any Laws which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

The Borrower covenants and agrees on its own behalf and on behalf of each member of the VL Group that, at the request of the Agent or the Finnvera Facility Agent, the Borrower and each other member of the

consideration provided by the Lenders and that provided by the Borrower.



| | 17.12 | Responsibility of the Lenders

the performance of the obligations of any other Lender.



| | 17.13 | Indemnity
| | ----- | ---------

The Borrower agrees to indemnify and defend each of the Agent, the Finnvera Facility Agent, each Lender, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from, and hold each of them harmless
against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses of any kind which at any time or from time to time may be asserted against or incurred or paid by any of them for or in connection with, arising directly or indirectly from or
relating to: (i) the participation of the Agent, the Finnvera Facility Agent or of any of the Lenders in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any

judiciaires intentées, directement ou indirectement, relativement ou à la suite de la présente convention.



| | 17.15 | Foreign Lenders
| | ----- | ---------------

The provisions of this Section 17.15 shall not apply to the Finnvera Facility Lenders or the Finnvera Term Facility.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 16.2.1 hereof, each of the Borrower, the Agent and the Revolving Lenders agrees that:



| | 17.15.1 | the Arrangers (as hereinafter defined) may solicit and receive Commitments from any Person who is a non-resident of Canada (within the meaning of
the Income Tax Act (Canada)) and who is authorized by law to lend money (Foreign Lenders) to the extent of $11,000,000 of the Revolving Facility;
| | ------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 17.15.2 | in such case, the Affiliates of the Arrangers may make the required Assignments to such Foreign Lenders; and
| | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 17.15.3 | upon compliance with the provisions of Article 16, such Foreign Lenders may further assign and transfer their Commitments to any other Foreign
Lender.
| | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neither the Agent nor the Borrower shall accept or be bound by any assignment or
transfer where the effect of the purported assignment or transfer would be to create Commitments of Foreign Lenders in excess of the limits mentioned above. Arrangers shall mean RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Bank of America, N.A.,
Canada Branch, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., The Toronto-Dominion Bank and their respective successors and assignees.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Foreign Lender governed by the applicable Laws of the United States of America may at any time assign all



91



---

or a portion of its rights under this Agreement and all other documents ancillary thereto (including the Security Documents) to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall relieve the
assigning Foreign Lender from its obligations under this Agreement or such other documents.



|18. | THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
|--- | -------------------------



| | 18.1 | Authorization of Agent
| | ---- | ----------------------



| | 18.1.1 | Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act for all purposes as its agent hereunder and under the Security Documents
with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and undertakes not to take any action on its own. Notwithstanding the provisions of the
Civil Code of Quebec relating to contracts generally and to mandate, the Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Agent
shall act hereunder or in connection herewith in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Article 18, but, in the absence of any such instructions, the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) act as
it shall deem fit in the best interests of the Lenders, and any such instructions and any action taken by the Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Lender. The Agent shall not, by reason of this Agreement, be deemed to be a trustee
for the benefit of any Lender, the Borrower or any other Person. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in
this Agreement or in any certificate or other document referred to, or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any
other document referred to or provided for herein or any collateral provided for hereby or for any failure by the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or
them under or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
| | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.1.2 | For the purposes of creating a solidarité active between each Lender, taken individually, and the Agent in accordance with Article
1541 of the Civil Code of Québec, the Borrower and each Lender (on its own behalf)
| | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



92



---

| | acknowledge and agree with the Agent that such Lender and the Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of the Borrower and the Guarantors in respect of all amounts,
liabilities and other obligations, present and future, owed by the Borrower to the Agent and such Lender hereunder and under Derivative Instruments (collectively, the Lender Solidary Claim). Accordingly, but subject (for the
avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code of Québec, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors is irrevocably bound towards the Agent and each Lender in respect of the entire Lender Solidary Claim of the Agent and such
Lender, such that the Agent and each Lender shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Lender Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Lender and the right to give a full acquittance for it. Thus, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Agent, as solidary creditor for itself and each Lender, shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action in respect of all amounts, liabilities and other obligations owed by the Borrower and the
Guarantors to the Agent and the Lenders or any of them hereunder and under Derivative Instruments and the right to give full acquittance for same. The parties further agree and acknowledge that the Security Documents described in subsections 9.1.1,
9.1.2, 9.2.1, 9.2.2, 9.2.3, 9.2.4, 9.2.7 and 9.2.9, as the case may be, shall be granted to the Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Lenders, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.2 | Agents Responsibility
| | ---- | ----------------------



| | 18.2.1 | The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, telex or telecopy) believed by it
to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper person or persons, and upon advice and statements of legal advisers, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and
treat each Lender as the holder of the Commitment in the Loan made by such Lender for all purposes hereof unless and until an Assignment has been completed in accordance with Section 16.2.
| | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.2.2 | The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a
Lender or the Borrower describing such a Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a Notice of Default. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or otherwise
becomes aware that a Default or Event of Default has occurred, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the
Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Article 18 provided that, unless
| | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



93



---

| | and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such a Default or Event
of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.2.3 | The Agent shall have no responsibility, (a) to the Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, or
(b) to any Lender on account of the failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder.
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.2.4 | Each Lender severally represents and warrants to the Agent that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs
of the Borrower in connection with the making and continuation of its Commitment in the Loan hereunder and has not relied on any information provided to such Lender by the Agent in connection herewith, and each Lender represents and warrants to the
Agent that it shall continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower while the Loan is outstanding or the Lenders have any obligations hereunder.
| | ------ | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.3 | Rights of Agent as Lender
| | ---- | -------------------------

With respect to its Commitment in the Loan, the Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not acting as the Agent and the term Lender shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its capacity as a Lender. The Agent may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits
from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with the Borrower as if it were not acting as the Agent and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for customary services in connection with this
Agreement and the Loan and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.



| | 18.4 | Indemnity
| | ---- | ---------

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent, to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by the Borrower, rateably in accordance with its respective Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgements, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against, the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the
Security Documents or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (excluding, unless a Default or Event of Default is apprehended or has occurred and is continuing, normal
administrative costs and expenses incidental to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the
extent they arise from the Agents gross negligence or wilful misconduct.



94



---

| | 18.5 | Notice by Agent to Lenders
| | ---- | --------------------------

As soon as practicable after its receipt thereof, the Agent will forward to each Lender a copy of each report, notice or other document required by this Agreement to be delivered to
the Agent for such Lender.



| | 18.6 | Protection of Agent
| | ---- | -------------------



| | 18.6.1 | The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement or any other document
referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower. Except (in the case of the Agent) for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Agent hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs or financial condition of the Borrower which may come to the attention of the Agent, except where
provided to the Agent for the Lenders, provided that such information does not confer any advantage to the Agent as a Lender over the other Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Agent to disclose any information relating to the
Borrower if such disclosure would or might, in the opinion of the Agent, constitute a breach of any Laws or duty of secrecy or confidence.
| | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.6.2 | Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing or by telegraph, telex or telecopier by any Lender prior to the date of an Advance requested
hereunder that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent such Lenders proportionate share of such Advance, based on its Commitment, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Lenders Commitment in such Advance
available to the Agent on the date of such Advance and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender,
the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount (together with interest thereon at the rate determined by the Agent as being its cost of funds in the circumstances) on demand from such Lender or, if such Lender fails to reimburse the Agent for
such amount on demand, from the Borrower.
| | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.6.3 | Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing or by telegraph, telex or telecopier by the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is
due hereunder that the Borrower does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment when due and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an
amount equal to such Lenders pro rata share of such assumed payment.
| | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



95



---

| | If it is established that the Borrower has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the amount made available to such Lender (together
with interest at the rate determined by the Agent as being its cost of funds in the circumstances).
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.7 | Notice by Lenders to Agent
| | ---- | --------------------------

Each Lender shall endeavour to use its best efforts to notify the Agent of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default forthwith upon becoming aware of such event, but no
Lender shall be liable if it fails to give such notice to the Agent.



| | 18.8 | Sharing Among the Lenders
| | ---- | -------------------------

Each Lender agrees that as amongst themselves, except as otherwise provided for by the provisions of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Agent, in its capacity as agent of
the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby (whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off or compensation or by counterclaim, cross-claim, separate action or as proceeds of
realization of any security, other than agency fees), and all amounts received by any Lender in relation to this Agreement shall be shared by each Lender pro rata, in accordance with their respective Commitment and each Lender undertakes to
do all such things as may be reasonably required to give full effect to this Section 18.8. If any amount which is so shared is later recovered from the Lender who originally received it, each other Lender shall restore its proportionate share
of such amount to such Lender, without interest.

As a necessary consequence of the foregoing, each Lender
shall share, in a percentage equal to its Commitment (and, for the purposes of this Section, a Lender that holds a Derivative Instrument creating Derivative Obligations shall have a Commitment that is deemed to be in an amount equal to (a) its
Commitment otherwise calculated, plus (b) the Negative Value of Derivative Instruments entered into by such Lender that created Derivative Obligations), any losses incurred as a result of any Default or Event of Default by the Borrower, and
shall pay to the Agent, within two (2) Business Days following a request by the Agent, any amount required to ensure that such Lender bears its pro rata share of such losses, if any, including any amounts required to be paid to any
Lender in respect of any Bankers Acceptances and, for greater certainty, amounts forming part of the Cash Management Facilities (which form part of the Revolving Facility). Such obligation to share losses shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (1) any set-off, compensation, counterclaim, recoupment, defence or other right which such Lender may have against the Agent, the Borrower or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (3) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Person; (4) any breach of this Agreement by the
Borrower or any other Person; or (5) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If any Lender does not make available the amount required hereunder, the Agent shall be entitled to
recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full.



96



---

| | 18.9 | Derivative Obligations
| | ---- | ----------------------



| | 18.9.1 | The Derivative Obligations shall be secured by the Security provided that the related Derivative Instruments:
| | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) are governed by an ISDA Master Agreement; and

(b) provide that bankruptcy or insolvency constitutes an event of default thereunder.



| | 18.9.2 | Each Lender shall confirm to the Agent and to the Borrower, upon request, quarterly on or about the last day of each financial quarter of each
financial year of the Borrower, the Negative Value of the Derivative Instruments issued by it or contracted through it, calculated on a net as well as on a gross basis where several Derivative Instruments are governed by the same Master Agreement,

| | 18.10 | Procedure with respect to Advances
| | ----- | ----------------------------------

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Agent shall, without delay, advise each Lender of the receipt of such
notice, of the date of such Advance, of its proportionate share of the amount of each Advance and of the relevant details of the Agents account(s). Each Lender shall disburse its proportionate share of each Advance, taking into account its
Commitment, and shall make it available to the Agent (no later than 10:00 A.M.) on the date of the Advance fixed by the Borrower, by depositing its proportionate share of the Advance in the Agents account in Canadian Dollars or US Dollars, as
the case may be. Once the Borrower has fulfilled the conditions stipulated in this Agreement, the Agent will make such amounts available to the Borrower on the date of the Advance, at the Branch, and, in the absence of other arrangements made in
writing between the Agent and the Borrower, by transferring or causing to be transferred an equivalent amount in the case of a direct Advance, and the Available Proceeds (as defined in subsection 6.2.4 (d)) in the case of Bankers Acceptances,
in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower which appear in the Notice of Borrowing with respect to each Advance; however, the obligation of the Agent with respect hereto is limited to taking the steps judged commercially reasonable in order
to follow such instructions, and once undertaken, such steps shall constitute conclusive evidence that the amounts have been disbursed in accordance with the applicable provisions. The Agent shall not be liable for damages, claims or costs imputed
to the Borrower and resulting from the fact that the amount of an Advance did not arrive at its agreed-upon destination.

| | 18.11 | Accounts kept by each Lender
| | ----- | ----------------------------

Each Lender shall keep in its books, in respect of its Commitment, accounts for the Libor Advances (if a Foreign Lender), Prime Rate Advances, Bankers Acceptances and other
amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement. Each Lender shall make appropriate entries showing, as debits, the amount of the Debt of the Borrower to it in respect of the Libor Advances, Prime Rate Advances and BA Advances, as the case may
be, the amount of all accrued interest and any other amount due to such Lender pursuant hereto and, as credits, each payment or repayment of principal and interest made in respect of such indebtedness as well as any other amount paid to such Lender
pursuant hereto. These accounts shall constitute (in the absence of manifest error or of contradictory entries in the accounts of the Agent referred to in Section 4.5) prima facie evidence of their content against the Borrower.

The accounts which are maintained by the Agent shall constitute, except in the case of manifest error,
prima facie proof of the amounts advanced and the Bankers Acceptances accepted by each Lender, the interest and other amounts due to them and the payments of principal, interest or others made to the Lenders.



| | 18.12 | Binding Determinations
| | ----- | ----------------------

The Agent shall proceed in good faith to make any determination which is required in order to apply this Agreement and, once made, such determination shall be final and binding upon all parties, except in
the case of manifest error.



| | 18.13 | Amendment of Article 18
| | ----- | -----------------------

The provisions of this Article 18 relating to the rights and obligations of the Lenders and the Agent inter se may be amended or added to, from time to time, by the execution
by the Agent and the Lenders of an instrument in writing and such instrument in writing shall validly and effectively amend or add to any or all of the provisions of this Article affecting the Lenders without requiring the execution of such
instrument in writing by the Borrower.



| | 18.14 | Decisions, Amendments and Waivers of the Lenders
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------

When the Lenders may or must consent to an action or to anything or to accomplish another act in applying this Agreement, the
Agent shall request that each Lender give its consent in this regard. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.15, all decisions taken by the Lenders shall be taken as follows: a) if there are two Lenders, by unanimous consent; b) if there are
three or more Lenders, by the Majority Lenders. The Agent shall confirm such consent to each Lender and to the Borrower.



| | 18.15 | Authorized Waivers, Variations and Omissions
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------

If so authorized in writing by the Lenders, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may grant waivers, consents, vary the terms of this Agreement and the Security Documents and do or
omit to do all acts and things in connection herewith or therewith. Notwithstanding the



98



---

foregoing, except with the prior written agreement of each of the Lenders, nothing in Section 18.14 or this Section 18.15 shall authorize (i) any extension of the date for, or
alteration in the amount, currency or mode of calculation or computation of any payment of principal or interest or other amount, (ii) any increase in the Commitment of a Lender, (iii) any extension of any maturity date, (iv) any
change in the terms of Article 18, (v) any change in the manner of making decisions among the Lenders including the definition of Majority Lenders, (vi) the release of the Borrower or any Guarantor, except as provided herein with respect
to permitted Asset Dispositions or as contemplated in Section 13.1, (vii) the release, in whole or in part, of any of the Security Documents or the Security constituted thereby, except as provided herein with respect to permitted Asset
Dispositions or as contemplated in Section 13.1, (viii) any change in or any waiver of the conditions precedent provided for in Article 10 or (ix) any amendment to this Section 18.15.



| | 18.16 | Provisions for the Benefit of Lenders Only - Power of Attorney for Quebec Purposes
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Without limiting the powers of the Agent hereunder or under the Security Documents and to the extent applicable, each of the
Lenders hereby acknowledges that the Agent (or a collateral agent designated by the Agent) shall, for the purposes of holding any security granted under the hypothecs described in Section 9.2.3 or granted under Section 9.2.9 hereof to
secure payment of the Debentures, be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Lenders and in particular for all
present and future holders of the Debentures. Each of the Lenders hereby constitutes, to the extent necessary, the Agent (or such designated collateral agent) as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney in order to hold security granted
under such hypothecs to secure the Debentures. Each Assignee shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney by execution of the relevant Transfer Agreement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the An Act respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons(Quebec), the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Lenders irrevocably agree that the Agent may acquire and be the holder of a
Debenture. By executing a Debenture, the issuer of the Debenture shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the Debenture constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.



| | 18.17 | Provisions for the Benefit of Lenders Only
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------

The provisions of this Article 18 relating to the rights and obligations of the Lenders and Agent inter se shall be operative as between the Lenders and Agent only, and the
Borrower shall not have any rights or obligations under or be entitled to rely for any purposes upon such provisions. However, the provisions of subsection 18.2.3 and 18.16 shall be applicable as between the Borrower, the Guarantors (if applicable)
and the Agent.



| | 18.18 | Resignation of Agent
| | ----- | --------------------



| | 18.18.1 | Notwithstanding the irrevocable appointment of the Agent, a majority of Lenders holding not less than 66.67% of the Commitments may (with
| | ------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



99



---

| | the consent of the Borrower), upon giving the Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice to such effect, terminate the Agents appointment hereunder provided that a successor Agent has
been appointed at or prior to the expiry of such notice.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.18.2 | The Agent may resign its appointment hereunder at any time without giving any reason therefor by giving written notice to such effect to each of the
other parties hereto. Such resignation shall not be effective until a successor Agent has been appointed.
| | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.18.3 | In the event of any such termination or resignation, the Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent that is willing to accept such role and is
acceptable to the Borrower within thirty (30) days therefrom, deliver copies of all accounts to such successor and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligations hereunder but shall remain entitled to the benefit of the
provisions of this Article 18 and the Agents successor and each of the other parties hereto shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor originally had been a party hereto as Agent.
| | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 18.19 | No Novation
| | ----- | -----------

The parties hereto agree that the changes to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the amendments and restatement set out herein and the execution of these presents shall not constitute
novation, and that all Security shall continue to apply to this Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by these presents, and all other obligations secured thereby.

proxies as may be directed by the Agent to enable it to exercise in the sole discretion of the Agent any and all voting rights attributable to the Subordinated Notes which are capable of being voted (whether by meeting, written resolution or
otherwise) in a Reorganization Proceeding and enforce any and all claims upon or in respect of the Subordinated Notes and to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or in respect
of the Subordinated Notes, and (2) whether or not the Agent shall take the action described in clause (1) above, the Agent shall nevertheless be deemed to have such powers of attorney as may be necessary to enable the Agent to exercise

terms of this Agreement.

| | (g) | Holder Entitled to Rely.
| | --- | ------------------------

Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder shall be entitled to rely (i) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of
the nature referred to in Section 3(b) are pending, (ii) upon a certificate if the liquidating trustee or agent or other person in such proceedings making such payment or distribution to the Holder or its representative, if any, or

Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Obligor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 3.

4. Enforceability. Each of the Obligor and the Holder represents and warrants that this Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Obligor and the Holder and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of each of the Obligor and the Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
