The Applicant will indemnify the Bank for any Taxes paid by the Bank in respect of any amount paid or payable by the Applicant hereunder.  The provisions of this Section shall survive payment in full hereunder.

|9. | Indemnification.The Applicant agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank and each affiliate of the Bank, and the directors, officers, agents and employees of each of them, and each other person controlling any of the foregoing, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, the“Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against, and to pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses whatsoever which any Indemnified Party may incur or suffer by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or in connection with any Credit, including, without limitation, in connection with the payment of any Credit, and further including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party with respect thereto and all fees and expenses, if any, in connection with the enforcement or defense of the rights of the Indemnified Party in connection with this Agreement or any Credit or the collection of any monies due under this Agreement or such other documents; except, only if, and to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense shall be caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Bank (as determined by a final non-appealable  judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in performing its obligations under this Agreement or the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Bank (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in making payment against a Demand presented under any Credit which does not comply with the terms thereof (it being understood that in making such payment the Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it in accordance with the terms of the applicable Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, whether or not any statement or any document presented pursuant to such Credit proves to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein proves to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever shall not be deemed willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Bank).  The Applicant, upon demand by any Indemnified Party at any time, shall defend (as described below) or shall reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses

incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing.  Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement, or threatened commencement, of any action subject to the indemnities contained in this Section 9, the Bank shall promptly notify the Applicant thereof; provided, however, that the failure of the Bank so to notify the Applicant will not affect the obligation of the Applicant to indemnify such Indemnified Party with respect to such action or any other action pursuant to this Section 9.  The obligations of the Applicant under this Section 9 shall survive payment of any funds due under this Agreement, the expiration of any Credit or any termination of this Agreement.





The Bank shall not in any way be responsible or have any liability for the form, correctness, genuineness, authority of any person signing, falsification or legal effect of any documents called for under any Credit if such documents on their face appear to be in order.





If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Applicant shall make the maximum contribution permissible under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities set forth in this Section 9. This Section 9 shall survive the payment in full and performance of the Applicants’ other obligations hereunder.

|10. | Judgment Currency.If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in a court or tribunal in any jurisdiction it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in any currency (the"Obligation Currency") to an equivalent amount of another currency (the"Judgment Currency") such conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange quoted by the Bank at its branch referenced above at 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day (as defined below) immediately prior to the date of judgment.  As a separate obligation which shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for other sums due hereunder, if the rate of exchange used to determine such equivalent amount is different from the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of actual payment of the amount so due, then the Applicant will pay such additional amounts (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount of the Judgment Currency received by the Bank will be sufficient to permit the Bank to convert such amount of the Judgment Currency to an amount in the Obligation Currency equal to the amount of the Obligation Currency owed hereunder.




A “Business Day” is any day other than (i) Saturday or Sunday, or (ii) a day on which banks located in New York, New York, or in Toronto, Ontario are required or authorized by law or executive order to close or remain closed.
