REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

This REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT is dated as of October 16, 2014, and is entered into among Postmedia Network Inc., as Borrower, Postmedia Network
Canada Corp., the other Loan Parties from time to time parties hereto, the Lenders from time to time parties hereto, as Lenders, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner and Lender, Royal
Bank of Canada, as Joint Bookrunner and Lender.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Borrower wishes to borrow certain monies from the Lenders and the Lenders are prepared to lend such monies to the Borrower
upon the terms and conditions herein contained;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby conclusively acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

THE
CREDITS



| | 1.1 | Amounts and Terms of Commitments
| | --- | --------------------------------

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained herein, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Loans to the Borrower (each such Loan, a Revolving Loan) from time to time on any
Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such Lenders name in Schedule 1.1 under the heading
Revolving Loan Commitments (such amount as the same may be reduced or increased from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, being referred to herein as such Lenders Revolving Loan Commitment);
provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance. Each Revolving Loan shall be comprised
entirely of Canadian Prime Loans or CDOR Rate Loans as the Borrower may request from time to time. Any Protective Advance and any Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.5. Subject to the other
terms and conditions hereof, amounts borrowed under this Section 1.1 may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time. The Maximum Revolving Loan Balance from time to time will be the lesser of:



| | A. | the Borrowing Base (as calculated pursuant to the Borrowing Base Certificate) in effect from time to time, and
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | B. | the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect,
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------

subject to the authority of the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to make Protective Advances pursuant to Section 1.5.



| | 1.2 | Interest
| | --- | --------

(a) Subject to Subsections 1.2(c) and 1.2(d), each Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate or the CDOR Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Rate. Each determination of an interest rate by
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the
case may be, in each case and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

(b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any payment or
prepayment of Loans in full.

(c) At the election of Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists (or
automatically while any Event of Default under Subsections 6.1(a), 6.1(f), 6.1(g) or 6.1(h) exists), the Borrower shall, subject to the Interest Act (Canada), pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent
permitted by law) on the Loans under the Loan Documents from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding two percent (2.0%) per annum to the Applicable Rate then in effect for
such Loans. All such interest shall be payable on demand of Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

(d) If any provision of this
Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by
such Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum
amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by
reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Lender under this Subsection 1.2(d), and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Lender which would
constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Subsection 1.2(d) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices
and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption



2



---

that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of interest (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be
pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

(e) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the
Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a 365 day
year or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 365 or such other period of time, respectively.



| | 1.3 | Loan Accounts
| | --- | -------------

(a) Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall record on its
books and records the amount of each Loan made, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower on a
monthly basis a loan statement setting forth such record for the immediately preceding calendar month. Such record shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest
and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the
Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Agents.

(b) Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely
for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Subsection 1.3(b), shall establish and maintain at its Offices in Toronto, Ontario (or at such other address as Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower) (A) a
record of ownership (the Register) in which Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of Administrative Agent and each Lender, each of their obligations
under this Agreement to participate in each Loan and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of
the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.4), (2) the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause 1.3(a) above, (4) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or paid, and (5) any other payment received by Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans and Obligations are registered obligations, the right,
title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans, shall be transferable only

---

upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein.

(d) The Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender, for all purposes of
this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for access by the Borrower, the Agents, such Lender during normal business hours and from time to time upon at least one Business Days prior
notice. No Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent.



| | 1.4 | Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing
| | --- | ----------------------------------------

(a) Each Borrowing of a Revolving Loan shall
be made upon the Borrowers irrevocable written notice delivered to Administrative Agent substantially in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, which notice must be received by Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., Toronto time, one
(1) Business Day before the Borrowing date of each Canadian Prime Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as the case may be. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify:

(i) the amount of the Borrowing which shall be (x) in an aggregate minimum principal amount that is an integral multiple
$500,000 for CDOR Rates Loan and (y) an aggregate amount that is an integral amount of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 for Canadian Prime Loans;

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

(iii) whether the Borrowing is to be comprised of Canadian Prime Loans or CDOR Rate Loans; and

(iv) in the case of a CDOR Rate Loan, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be contemplated in the
definition of the term Interest Period.

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, Administrative Agent will promptly
notify each Lender of such Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Lenders Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing.

(c) Unless
Administrative Agent is otherwise directed in writing by the Borrower, the proceeds of each requested Borrowing after the Closing Date will be made available to the Borrower by Administrative Agent either by wire transfer of such amount to the
Borrower pursuant to the wire transfer instructions specified on the signature page hereto or by credit to the Borrowers account with the Administrative Agent as advised by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in a Notice of Borrowing or
otherwise.

| | 1.5 | Swingline Loans and Protective Advances
| | --- | ---------------------------------------

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower, from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will
not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $5,000,000 or (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceeding the lesser of (x) $20,000,000 and (y) the Borrowing Base, provided that
the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow
Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy or by Adobe pdf file), not later than 12:00 noon, Toronto time, on the day of such proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount
of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to
the general deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Subsection 1.6(e), by remittance to the relevant
Issuing Bank), and in the case of repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses, by remittance to the Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Lenders by 3:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) Subject to the limits, terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may also borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans at any time
and from time to time by withdrawing and depositing funds into a specified account established by the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (the Swingline Account) such that if the balance in the Swingline Account is negative,
the Borrower will have been deemed to have requested from the Administrative Agent, and the Swingline Lender will have been deemed to have advanced to the Borrower, a Swingline Loan equal to the negative balance of the Swingline Account (the
Overdraft Swingline Amount) provided that at no time shall the Overadvance Swingline Amount exceed $1,000,000. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, upon making a Borrowing by way of Swingline Loan pursuant to this
Section 1.5(c), all of the conditions contained in Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement have been satisfied on and as of the date thereof, and will continue to be satisfied after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds
therefrom. The Borrower agrees to provide a completed Borrowing Notice within three (3) days after the date of any Swingline Loan made pursuant to this Section 1.5(c) to the extent that any such Swingline Loan is not repaid prior to the
expiry of such three (3) day period.



5



---

(d) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 p.m., Toronto time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which
Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lenders Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lenders Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline
Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitment, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this
paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline
Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any
such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear,
provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase
of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(e) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may in its sole
discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, on behalf of the Lenders, in amounts that exceed the Aggregate Availability (any such excess Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as
Protective Advances), which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or
maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations of the Borrower, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of
reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, provided that no Protective Advance shall result in a Default due to the Borrowers failure to comply with Section 1.1 for
so long as such Protective Advance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with



6



---

respect to the amount of such Protective Advance. In addition, Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 have not been satisfied. All
Protective Advances shall be Canadian Prime Loans. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make Protective Advances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,000,000 at any time, no Protective Advance may remain outstanding for more
than 30 days and no Protective Advance shall cause any Lenders Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment, provided that the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the authorization of the Administrative Agent to
make Protective Advances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agents receipt thereof.

(f) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party
hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loan
Commitment. The Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders to fund their participations in any Protective Advance. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance
purchased hereunder, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lenders Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral
received by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in respect of such Protective Advance.



| | 1.6 | Letters of Credit
| | --- | -----------------

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of standby and documentary letters of credit denominated in Canadian Dollars by an Issuing Bank for their own account or for the account of any Subsidiary (provided that the Borrower shall be a
co-applicant, and be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each such Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Subsidiary) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and
from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, under the Revolving Loan Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization under the Revolving
Loan Commitments.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter
of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall deliver by hand or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the relevant Issuing
Bank of such Letter of Credit) to the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall not be



7



---

later than the date that is 364 days after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name of the account party (which shall be the Borrower or a
Subsidiary and the Borrower as co-applicants), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be reasonably necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. It is understood that the
reinstatement of all or a portion of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof following a drawing thereunder shall not constitute an amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit. If requested by such Issuing Bank, the
Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Banks standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to, or entered into by the Borrower or any Subsidiary with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(c) Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed
or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the
aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $5,000,000, and (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), and
without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the relevant Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender (other than the relevant Issuing Bank), and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such
Letter of Credit equal to such Lenders Commitment Percentage. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each relevant
Issuing Bank, such Lenders Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 1.6, or of any reimbursement payment
required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment, and that
each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If an
Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., Toronto time, on
the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC



8



---

Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Toronto time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00 p.m., Toronto
time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Toronto time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives
such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided, that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 1.4 that such payment be
financed with a Canadian Prime Borrowing under the Revolving Credit or Swingline Loan and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Canadian Prime Borrowing or
Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lenders
Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
pay to the relevant Issuing Bank, the amounts so received by it from the applicable Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payment to the relevant Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. Any payment
made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of a Canadian Prime Borrowing or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the
Borrower of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers obligation to
reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Banks under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Persons, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in
connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or
delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or



9



---

any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Banks from liability to the Borrower
to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or special damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing
Banks failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Issuing Banks (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Banks shall be deemed to have exercised the requisite standard of care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing
and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Banks may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in
strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall,
promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed
by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of their obligation to
reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any
Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such LC Disbursement is made to, but excluding, the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Canadian Prime Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement
when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 1.6, then Section 1.2 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of
payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 1.6 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be added, or an existing Issuing Bank may be replaced or terminated, under
this Agreement at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced or terminated Issuing Bank and the new or successor Issuing Bank, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such
addition, replacement or termination. At the time any such replacement or termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the Issuing Bank being replaced or terminated. From and after the
effective date of any such replacement or



10



---

addition, the new or successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter. References
herein to the term Issuing Bank shall be deemed to refer to each new Issuing Bank or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such new Issuing Bank and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement or
termination of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced or terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to any outstanding Letters
of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or termination, but shall not be required (or permitted) to issue any new Letters of Credit or to renew or extend any such outstanding Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If either (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Borrower receives
notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to
this paragraph, (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments, (iii) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date occurs and there are Letters of Credit outstanding, or (iv) any of the other provisions of
this Agreement require cash collateralization, the Borrower shall deposit within one Business Day after notice from the Administrative Agent of the requirement thereof into an account established and maintained on the books and records of the
Administrative Agent, which account may be a securities account (as defined in the Securities Transfer Act (Ontario) or comparable legislation in any other province of Canada, as applicable), in the name of the Administrative
Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the LC Collateral Account), an amount in immediately available funds in Canadian Dollars equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such amount shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default described in paragraphs (e) or (f) of Section 6.1. Such deposits shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the LC Exposure under this Agreement and for the payment and performance of the Obligations, and for
this purpose the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account, the LC Collateral Account shall be subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement and the
Borrower hereby grants a security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the LC Collateral Account and in any financial assets (as defined in the Securities Transfer Act (Ontario) or comparable
legislation in any other province of Canada, as applicable) or other property held therein. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative
Agent and at the Borrowers risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the LC Collateral Account. Moneys and financial assets in the LC Collateral Account shall
be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the
Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent



11



---

of Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall cause all such cash collateral (to the
extent not applied as aforesaid) to be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after (A) in the case of clause (i) above, the applicable Event of Default shall have been cured or waived (so long as no other Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing at such time), (B) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Aggregate Credit Exposure ceases to exceed the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments for five (5) consecutive Business Days, (C) in
the case of clause (iii) above, the applicable Letters of Credit expire and/or are returned and cancelled, undrawn, or (D) in the case of clause (iv) above, such cash collateral shall no longer be required pursuant to the applicable
provision hereof.

(k) Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide
to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.6 no later than the Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) on the first Business
Day of each week, the activity for each day during the immediately preceding week in respect of Letters of Credit issued by it, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and
reimbursements, (B) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, whether such Letter of Credit is a trade,
financial or performance Letter of Credit and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the
amount thereof changed), and no Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension is
then permitted by the terms of this Agreement, (C) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and (D) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request, including but not limited to prompt verification of such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent.



| | 1.7 | Funding of Borrowings
| | --- | ---------------------

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder
on the requested date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such
Lenders Commitment Percentage; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 1.5. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like
funds, to such account as may be specified in the Borrowing Notice; provided that Canadian Prime Rate Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Subsection 1.6(e) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent.



12



---

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower agree (severally and not jointly) to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower, but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Administrative Agents cost of funds and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lenders Loan included in such Borrowing



| | 1.8 | Interest Elections
| | --- | ------------------

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the type specified in the
applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a CDOR Rate Loan, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing or as otherwise provided in Section 1.4. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such
Borrowing to a different type of Borrowing or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a CDOR Rate Loan, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Subject to the foregoing, the Borrower may elect different options
with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated rateably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Borrowings of Swingline Loans or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section (an Interest Election Request), the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing request would be required under Section 1.4 if the Borrower was requesting a Revolving Loan of the type resulting from such election to be made on the effective
date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written loan conversion notice.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 1.4:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting



13



---

Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Canadian Prime Loan or a CDOR Rate Loan; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a CDOR Rate Loan, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term Interest Period.

If any such Interest Election Request requests
a CDOR Rate Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of 30 days for a CDOR Rate Borrowing.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and
of such Lenders portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with
respect to a CDOR Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Loan.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing
(i) no outstanding Revolving Loan Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a CDOR Rate Loan and (ii) unless repaid, each CDOR Rate Loan shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.



| | 1.9 | Termination and Reduction of Commitments
| | --- | ----------------------------------------

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

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate the Commitments upon
(i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each
such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of cash collateral for Letters of Credit as provided for in Section 1.6(j)), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, and (iv) the payment in full of
all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.



14



---

(c) The Borrower may from time to time reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments; provided, that
(i) each reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments if, after giving
effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 1.10 or Section (b) of this Section 1.9, the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments and
(y) the Borrowing Base.

(d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the
Commitments or the Revolving Loan Commitments under paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section 1.9 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election, the aggregate
amount of a reduction and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall
be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving
Loan Commitments.



| | 1.10 | Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt
| | ---- | ------------------------------------

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises
to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender made to the Borrower on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent the
then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance made by it to the Borrower on the earliest of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the date that is 30 days after the making of such Protective Advance and demand by the Administrative Agent and
(iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to the Borrower on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the date that is the seventh day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day) after such Swingline Loan is made, provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is made by the Borrower, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) During any Cash Dominion Period, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall (i) apply all funds credited to the Collection
Account as of 10:00 a.m., Toronto time, on such Business Day (in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available) first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata, second to prepay Swingline

(x) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, or (y) the Borrowing Base;

the Borrower shall promptly prepay the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline
Loans (and/or provide cash collateral for LC Exposure as specified herein) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If the Borrower is required to provide (and has provided the required amount of) cash collateral pursuant to this
Section 1.11(a) and such excess is subsequently reduced, cash collateral in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) any such reduction and (y) the amount of such cash collateral (to the extent not applied as set forth in
Subsection 1.6(j)) shall be returned to the Borrower within five (5) Business Days after any such reduction.

(b) The Borrower,
shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or by other electronic transmission) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment
of a CDOR Rate Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, not later than 2:00 p.m., Toronto time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 2:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the date
of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, set forth a reasonably detailed
calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans or Protective Advances) the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each prepayment of a Revolving Loan shall be applied pro rata to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Loan. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest.



| | 1.12 | Fees
| | ---- | ----

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent for

reason whatsoever

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall

actual number of days elapsed. For the purpose of determining the Availability Commitment pursuant to this Section 1.12(b) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans and Protective
Advances then outstanding shall be deemed to be zero.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to CDOR Rate Loans on the average daily amount of such Lenders LC
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the date on which such Lender ceases to
have any LC Exposure. All participation fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar quarter shall be payable on the first day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing
Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which such Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All participation fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to
each Issuing Bank (i) a fronting fee equal to [REDACTED] [Commercially sensitive]% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by it (excluding any portion thereof attributable to

Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which such Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand.

(e) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own accounts fee in respect of the facility provided for herein in the amounts

| | 1.13 | Payments by the Borrower
| | ---- | ------------------------

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the
Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be made without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, shall, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, (i) be made to Administrative Agent (for the ratable account of the Persons entitled thereto) at the Payment Office (or such other address as Administrative Agent may from time to time specify in accordance with
Section 8.1), and shall be made in Canadian Dollars and by wire transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder), no later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the date due, or (ii) unless
otherwise notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, by debiting the Borrowers operating account with the Administrative Agent. Any payment which is received by Administrative Agent later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, may in
Administrative Agents discretion be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application
during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and each Lender to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be a Canadian
Prime Loan to pay (i) interest, principal, agent fees, commitment fees, in each instance, on the date due, or (ii) after five (5) days prior notice to the Borrower, other fees, costs or expenses payable by Borrower hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents.

(b) If any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Without limiting Section 10.5, if Administrative Agent receives any payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in any currency other
than the currency in which the Obligation is denominated, Administrative Agent may convert the payment (including the proceeds of realization upon any Collateral) into the currency in which such Obligation is denominated at the rate of exchange (as
such term is defined in Section 10.5).



| | 1.14 | Payments by the Lenders to Agent; Settlement
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------

(a) Administrative Agent may, on behalf of
Lenders, disburse funds to the Borrower for Loans requested. Each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Administrative Agent, or if Administrative Agent so requests, each Lender will remit to
Administrative Agent its Commitment Percentage of any Loan before Administrative Agent disburses same to the Borrower. If Administrative Agent elects to require that each Lender make funds available to Administrative Agent prior to disbursement by
Administrative Agent to the Borrower, Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lenders Commitment Percentage of the Loan requested by the Borrower



18



---

no later than 12:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the Business Day prior to the scheduled Borrowing date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay Administrative Agent such Lenders
Commitment Percentage of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Administrative Agents account, as set forth on Administrative Agents signature page hereto, no later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, on such scheduled
Borrowing date. Nothing in this subsection 1.14 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the remaining provisions of Section 1.14, shall be deemed to require Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of
any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender
hereunder.

(b) Within two (2) Business Day of receipt of the funds (each, a Settlement Date), Administrative
Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lenders Commitment Percentage of principal, interest and fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Provided that each Lender has funded
all payments required to be made by it and funded all purchases of participations required to be funded by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender such
Lenders Commitment Percentage of principal, interest and fees paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender not later
than 2:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding shortfall against any Non-Funding Lenders Commitment Percentage of all payments received from
the Borrower and hold, in a non-interest bearing account, all payments received by Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement as cash collateral for any unfunded reimbursement obligations of such
Non-Funding Lender until the Obligations are paid in full in cash and all Commitments have been terminated, and upon such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use
such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to Administrative Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to
Revolving Loans that are Canadian Prime Loans.

(c) Availability of Lenders Commitment Percentage. Administrative Agent may
assume that each Lender will make its Commitment Percentage of each Revolving Loan available to Administrative Agent on each Borrowing date. If such Commitment Percentage is not, in fact, paid to Administrative Agent by such Lender when due,
Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Commitment Percentage forthwith upon Administrative
Agents demand, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Subsection 1.14(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed to require Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to



19



---

relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender
hereunder. Without limiting the provisions of Subsection 1.14(b), to the extent that Administrative Agent advances funds to the Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made,
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance from the date such advance was made until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

(d) Return of Payments.

(i) If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment
has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Administrative Agent has
distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Administrative Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and Administrative Agent will be
entitled to set-off against future distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand.

(e)
Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Loan or any payment required by it hereunder, or to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it on the date specified therefor shall not
relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an Other Lender) of its obligations to make such loan or fund the purchase of any such participation on such date, but neither Administrative Agent nor, other than as expressly set
forth herein, any Other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a loan, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the
contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a Lender (or be, or have its Loans and Commitments, included in the determination of Required
Lenders or Lenders directly affected pursuant to Section 7.8) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Required Lenders the Loans and



20



---

Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Loans and Commitments outstanding.

(f) Procedures. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrower and each other Secured Party to establish procedures (and to
amend such procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto.



| | 1.15 | Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------

The Borrower may, annually during the
period between ninety (90) and sixty (60) days prior to each anniversary (each, a Revolving Credit Anniversary) of the date of this Agreement and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, deliver a request to the
Administrative Agent for an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to a date which is one year from and after the Revolving Credit Anniversary immediately following such request (the Requested Revolving Credit Extension Date).
The request shall be accompanied by an updated budget for the Loan Parties for the upcoming Fiscal Year. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of any such request, each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing as to whether
it agrees to such extension. If the Lenders agree to such extension, the Borrower shall be entitled to an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to the Requested Revolving Credit Extension Date. Within thirty-five (35) days
after delivery of such request, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Borrower as to whether the Lenders have agreed to the extension, subject to final documentation. The extended Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be binding upon only
those Lenders that have provided their consent to the extension. If the Lenders have not consented to an extension requested by the Borrower, on the then current Revolving Credit Maturity Date all Loans and other amounts outstanding hereunder
including principal, interest and fees shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, the amount of each Lenders L/C Exposure shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent in an interest bearing account to be held as collateral security in
accordance with Section 1.6(j) for the Borrowers Obligations to the Lenders in respect of Letters of Credit outstanding after the then current Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the Revolving Credit shall be cancelled. For greater
certainty, any amounts deposited by way of collateral security for the Borrowers Obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit outstanding after the then current Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be returned to the Borrower as soon as
reasonably possible after the term of such Letter of Credit expires or the amount thereof is reduced if and to the extent that the Lenders have not been called upon to make payment on the outstanding Letter of Credit. If all or any part of a
Letter of Credit is drawn after the then current Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent may apply the amounts held as collateral security in repayment of the Borrowers obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit.



| | 1.16 | Eligible Accounts
| | ---- | -----------------

All of the Accounts owned by any Loan Party and properly reflected as
Eligible Accounts in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrower to Agents shall be Eligible Accounts for purposes of this Agreement, except



21



---

any Account to which any of the exclusionary criteria set forth below applies. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish, modify or eliminate Reserves against Eligible Accounts
from time to time in its Permitted Discretion. In addition, the Administrative Agent reserves the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to adjust any of the applicable criteria and to establish new criteria and to adjust
advance rates with respect to Eligible Accounts, in its Permitted Discretion in the case of adjustments or new criteria or changes in advance rates which have the effect of making more credit available.

irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform
such duties thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.

(b) Subject in all cases to the ABL
Intercreditor Agreement, but without limiting the generality of clause 7.1(a) above, Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders and Administrative Agent), and is hereby authorized, to
(i) act as collateral agent for each of the Administrative Agent and Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, (ii) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the
Collateral, (iii) take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (iv) except as may be otherwise specified in any Loan
Document, exercise all remedies given to Collateral Agent and the other Lenders and Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, whether under the Loan Documents, applicable Law or otherwise and (v) execute any amendment, consent or
waiver under the Security Documents or other document to which the Collateral Agent is a party, subject to the required level of Lender approval, if applicable, in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Agreement; provided, however, that
Collateral Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent for purposes of the perfection of Liens with respect to any deposit account maintained
by the Borrower with, and cash and cash equivalents held by, such Lender, and may further authorize and direct the Lenders to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral
subject thereto to Collateral Agent, and each Lender hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed.



| | 7.2 | Articles of CCQ not Applicable
| | --- | ------------------------------

The mandate of the Agents under this Agreement is not
governed by the provisions of Articles 2138 to 2148 of the Civil Code of Québec and each Loan Party hereby expressly renounces to the benefit of each and every one of such Articles.

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

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall
have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set out with respect to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in this Agreement and as specified in the other Loan Documents. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The duties of the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent and the Collateral



63



---

Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, expressed
or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set out herein. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents unless it is requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.



| | 7.4 | Lack of Reliance on the Agents
| | --- | ------------------------------

(a) Independent Investigation. Independently, and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the
Borrower in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before
the consummation of the Transactions or at any time or times thereafter.

(b) Agents Not Responsible. The Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution,
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the financial condition of any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry
concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the financial condition of any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries, or the existence or possible existence of
any Default or Event of Default.



| | 7.5 | Certain Rights of the Agents
| | --- | ----------------------------

If an Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders or
the Required Lenders (as the case may be) with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action
unless and until the Agent shall have received written instructions from the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender
shall have any right of action whatsoever against an Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or, to the extent
required by Section 8.2, all of the Lenders.



64



---

| | 7.6 | Reliance by Agents
| | --- | ------------------

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or facsimile message, electronic mail, cablegram, radiogram, order or other documentary teletransmission or telephone message believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.



| | 7.7 | Indemnification of Agents
| | --- | -------------------------

To the extent the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Loan Parties, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in proportion to its aggregate Applicable Percentage, for and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in performing its duties hereunder, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agents or the Collateral Agents, as applicable,
gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or wilful misconduct.



| | 7.8 | The Agents in their Individual Capacities
| | --- | -----------------------------------------

With respect to its obligations under this
Agreement and the Loans made by it, The Bank of Nova Scotia, in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties, if any,
specified herein; and the terms Lenders, Required Lenders and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, includes The Bank of Nova Scotia in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. The

| | 7.9 | May Treat Lender as Owner
| | --- | -------------------------

The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of the Loans recorded on the Register



65



---

maintained pursuant to Section 1.3(b) for all purposes hereof until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of a Loan shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent owner, transferee or assignee of such Loan.



| | 7.10 | Successor Agents
| | ---- | ----------------

(a) Agent Resignation or Removal. The Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by
giving notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders (if no
Event of Default then exists, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agents giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders election to remove
the existing Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agents resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon removal or resignation, the Collateral Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to a new Collateral Agent all of its
interest in the Security Documents together with its position as agent thereunder for and on behalf of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

(b) Rights, Powers, etc. (Administrative Agent). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agents resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the applicable Loan Documents.

(c) Rights, Powers, etc. (Collateral Agent). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor
Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Loan Documents. After any retiring Collateral Agents resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its



66



---

benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the applicable Loan Documents.



| | 7.11 | No Independent Legal Actions by Lenders
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------

No Lender may take any independent legal action
to enforce any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Loan Documents and the remedies provided thereunder to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders
collectively and acting together and not severally, and further acknowledges that each Lenders rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents are to be exercised collectively, not severally, by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
applicable, acting in accordance with the Loan Documents and, where applicable, upon the decision of the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required herein, by a greater proportion of the Lenders). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions
contained herein or in the Loan Documents, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder, including any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder, but that any such
action shall be taken, as applicable, only by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, with the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required herein, a greater proportion of the Lenders),
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders, as applicable, and where in the sole opinion of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the exigencies of the situation so
warrant such action, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent may without notice to or consent of the Agents or the Lenders, as applicable, take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interests of
the Lenders. Each Lender hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written consent being given by the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required herein, a greater proportion of the Lenders) it shall co-operate fully with the Collateral
Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, and each Lender further covenants and agrees that all proceeds from the realization of the Security Documents, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, are held for the benefit of all of the Agents and the Lenders and shall be shared among the Lenders rateably in accordance with this Agreement, and each Lender acknowledges that all costs of any such realization
(including all amounts for which the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent is required to be indemnified under the provisions hereof) shall be shared among the Lenders rateably in accordance with this Agreement. Each Lender covenants and
agrees to do all acts and things and to make, execute and deliver all agreements and other instruments, so as to fully carry out the intent and purpose of this Section 7.11 and each Lender hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not seek,
take, accept or receive any security for any of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument, writing or agreement ancillary hereto or thereto, other than such
security as is provided hereunder or thereunder, and that it shall not enter into any agreement with any of the parties hereto or thereto relating in any manner whatsoever to the Revolving Credit, unless all of the Lenders shall at the same time
obtain the benefit of any such security or agreement, as the case may be.



67



---

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a Security Document is granted in favour of a Lender only
(as permitted pursuant to Subsections 2.1(h) and 7.1(b)), such Lenders rights thereunder are to be exercised by such Lender upon the decision of the Collateral Agent, and the rights, privileges and obligations set forth in the immediately
preceding paragraph for or to the benefit of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, shall apply, with necessary modifications, to such Lender exercising its rights under a Security Document.



| | 7.12 | Quebec Security
| | ---- | ---------------

For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, or any other Person acting as an agent or mandatary for such Agents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby acknowledges that, for purposes of holding any security granted
by it on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure its obligations under any bond, debenture or other title of indebtedness, the Collateral Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de
pouvoir) (within the meaning of the Civil Code of Québec) for (i) all present and future Lenders and Agents, and (ii) in particular for all present and future holders of any such bond, debenture or other title of
indebtedness. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that Collateral Agent may hold any such bonds, debentures or other titles of indebtedness, and may act as mandatary in connection therewith, for and on behalf of all present and future Lenders and
Agents. Each Lender and, where applicable, an Affiliate of a Lender, and each Agent hereby irrevocably constitute, to the extent necessary, the Collateral Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir)
(within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold security granted by the Borrower in the Province of Quebec to secure its obligations under any bond, debenture or other title of indebtedness
issued by it, and hereby agree that Collateral Agent may act as holder and mandatary (i.e. agent) for the Lenders and, where applicable, an Affiliate of a Lender, and the Agent in respect of any such bond, debenture or other title of
indebtedness that may be pledged in favour of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and, where applicable, an Affiliate of a Lender, and the Agents. Each assignee of a Lender, and each successor Collateral Agent and each successor
Administrative Agent, shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Collateral Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) and mandatary (i.e. agent) for the Lenders and Agents
in respect of any bond, debenture or other title of indebtedness that may be issued by the Borrower and pledged in favour of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders and Agents, by execution of an Assignment and Assumption. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Québec), the Collateral Agent may acquire and be the holder of any bond, debenture or other title of indebtedness issued by the Borrower (i.e.
Collateral Agent, as holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) may acquire and hold the first bond, debenture or other title of indebtedness issued under any deed of hypothec of other security granted by the
Borrower and held by the Collateral Agent). The Borrower hereby acknowledges that such bond or debenture constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec. The execution by Collateral
Agent, acting as holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) and



68



---

mandatary, prior to this Agreement of any deeds of hypothec, pledges or other security and any documents ancillary thereto is hereby ratified and confirmed.



| | 7.13 | Authorization for Intercreditor Agreement
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------

The Lenders irrevocably authorize the
Collateral Agent to enter into and perform its obligations under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any accessions, amendments, restatements, supplements or other modifications thereto approved in accordance with the terms thereof. The Lenders
acknowledge that the Collateral Agent will be required to accede to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Lenders.

| | 8.2 | Waivers; Amendments; Release of Collateral
| | --- | ------------------------------------------

(a) No failure or delay by an Agent or any
Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Subsection 8.2(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether either Agent or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no
consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and Holdings, the Borrower and
any other applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i) increase the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;



70



---

(ii) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) or LC Disbursement or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder or under such other Loan Document without the
written consent of each Lender entitled to such payment;

(iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified
herein on, any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to such amount (excluding any charge as a result of a reduction in the level set forth in the
definition of Applicable Rate);

(iv) change any provision of this Section 8.2 or the definition of
Required Lenders or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender; or

(v) except in connection with a disposition permitted under Section 5.3, release all or
substantially all of the value of the Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender; or

(vi) impose any greater
restriction on the ability of any Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of each Lender; or

(vii) increase the advance rates set forth in the definitions of Borrowing Base, without the written consent of each Lender; or

(viii) add new categories of eligible assets or make changes affecting any Borrowing Base eligibility criteria that have
the effect of increasing Aggregate Availability without the written consent of the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders; or

the consent of the Required Lenders and the Collateral Agent; or

Sections 1.13 and 6.3, without the consent of the Required Lenders and the Collateral Agent; or

(xi) amend, waive or

71



---

and, provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender or
the Issuing Banks, as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Non-Funding Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder,
except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

(c) Release of Liens on
Collateral

(i) The Liens on the Collateral shall automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person
be released:



| | (A) | in part, as to any property constituting Collateral that (a) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Borrower or any Guarantor (other than to the Borrower or another Guarantor) in a transaction not
prohibited by this Agreement or the Security Documents at the time of such sale, transfer or disposition or (b) is owned or at any time acquired by a Guarantor that has been released from its Guarantee in accordance with this Agreement,
concurrently with the release of such Guarantee (including, in connection with the designation of a Subsidiary as an Excluded Subsidiary)

| | (B) | in part, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Security Documents and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) With respect to the release of any Property for which a specific discharge is required, the Borrower and each Guarantor
shall furnish to the Collateral Agent, prior to each proposed release of Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents and this Agreement:



| | (A) | an Officers Certificate requesting such release;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------



| | (B) | an Officers Certificate and an opinion of counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement and the Security Documents to such release have been complied with; and
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (C) | a form of such release (which release shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and shall provide that the requested release is
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



72



---

| | without recourse or warranty to the Collateral Agent or other Secured Parties).
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upon
compliance by the Borrower or the Guarantors, as the case may be, with the conditions precedent set forth above, the Collateral Agent shall promptly cause to be released and reconveyed to the Borrower, or the Guarantors, as the case may be, the
released Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments prepared by the Borrower as the Borrower and the Guarantors may reasonably request to evidence such release without the consent of the other
Secured Parties.



| | 8.3 | Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver
| | --- | ----------------------------------

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

(b) The Borrower and each Guarantor shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, as well as each Related
Person and each assignee of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person and each such assignee being called an Indemnitee) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, cost recovery actions,
damages, expenses and liabilities of whatsoever nature or kind and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including due diligence expenses, syndication expenses, travel expenses and reasonable fees, charges, disbursements and applicable Taxes
thereon of counsel) to which any Indemnitee may become subject arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto
of their respective obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions thereunder, (ii) any Release on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory and regardless of



73



---

whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (iv) any other aspect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (v) the enforcement of any Indemnitees rights hereunder and any
related investigation, defence, preparation of defence, litigation and enquiries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or wilful
misconduct of or material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount
required to be paid under Subsections 8.3(a) or 8.3(b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any such Indemnitee (as applicable) such Lenders Applicable Percentage (determined as of
the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as such.

(d) No Loan Party shall assert, and
each hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law), any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of,
in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

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

(f) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of
any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders.

(g) The relationship between the Borrower and the Agents and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and
lenders. Neither an Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither an Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship
of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither an Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any



74



---

responsibility or duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform the Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their
property or the operations of the Borrower or its Affiliates. The Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of

(h) The Agents and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating

forth certain obligations, rights and duties of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders, and the

| | 8.4 | Successors and Assigns
| | --- | ----------------------

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this
Section 8.4. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Persons of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (treating any fund that invests in bank loans and any other fund that invests in bank loans
and is managed by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single assignee) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a
portion of its

Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of any Revolving Credit Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a
Revolving Credit Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided further that (ii) the Borrowers consent shall be required except with respect to any assignment made at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lenders Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of
the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Assumption relating to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than Cdn.$5,000,000, unless each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in writing and the amount held by each Lender after each such assignment shall not be less than Cdn.$5,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in
writing, (iv) each partial assignment in respect of a Commitment and the related Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such
Commitment and the related Loans, (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an
Approved Fund of any Lender) a processing and recordation fee of Cdn.$5,000, payable by the assigning Lender, (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. The
Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower and each Lender with written notice of any change in (or new) address of a Lender disclosed in an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
Subsection 8.4(b), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, shall have all of
the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case
of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.3, 9.1 and
9.2). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 8.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with Subsection 8.4(e).

Concurrently with any assignment in favour of any such assignee who is not, at the time of the
assignment, party to this Agreement, each Loan Party shall, if requested to do so by an Agent, acknowledge that such assignee is entitled to the benefit of such Security Documents.



76



---

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain
at one of its offices in Toronto, Ontario a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly
completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignees completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to
in Subsection 8.4(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Subsection 8.4(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Subsection 8.4(d).

(e) Any Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or
more Persons (a Participant) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lenders obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) each
Loan Party, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Subsection 8.2(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Subsection 8.4(f), the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 7.3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Subsection 8.4(e). To the extent
permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.8 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 1.13 as though it were a Lender.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers prior written consent.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and Section 8.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.



77



---

(h) Any assignment or grant of a participation pursuant to Section 8.4 shall constitute
neither a repayment by the Borrower to the assigning or granting Lender of any Loan included therein, nor a new advance of any such Loan to the Borrower by such Lender or by the Assignee or Participant, as the case may be. The parties acknowledge
that the Borrowers obligations hereunder with respect to any such Loans will continue and will not constitute new obligations as a result of such assignment or participation.



| | 8.5 | Survival
| | --- | --------

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Loan
Party herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that an Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or
warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid
and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. All indemnities contained herein and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect, regardless of the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of the Loans,
the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.



| | 8.6 | Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness
| | --- | ----------------------------------------

This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts (and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts), each of which when so executed shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be
detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart hereof. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and
all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 2.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed original counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

| | 8.7 | Severability
| | --- | ------------

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.



| | 8.8 | Right of Set Off
| | --- | ----------------

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off or compensate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all of the obligations of the Borrower or a Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of set off or compensate) which such Lender may have.



| | 8.9 | Sharing of Payments etc
| | --- | -----------------------

If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch
office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or proceeds (as defined under the applicable PPSA or the Uniform
Commercial Code) of Collateral, or from the proceeds of realization of security under the Bank Act) other than pursuant to Article IX and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had
gone to, and been distributed by, the applicable Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share
such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by the applicable Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower,
applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (i) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor
shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (ii) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments
to the applicable Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in Subsection 1.14(e).

| | 8.15 | No Third Parties Benefited
| | ---- | --------------------------

This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole
protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties party hereto, the Lenders, the Agents, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or

THE BORROWER AND ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES RELATING TO A FINANCING OF SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM, PURPOSE OR EFFECT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TERMS OF

The Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the

authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Borrower, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and
other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of a Lender or Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that each Agent has no
obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from the Borrower or any such authorized signatory

first obtaining the prior written consent of Agents or Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the
direction or with the consent of Agents or Required Lenders.

ARTICLE IX.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY



| | 9.1 | Taxes
| | --- | -----

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.1, each payment by a Loan
Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future Taxes other than Excluded Taxes and all Liabilities with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, the Indemnified
Taxes).

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Taxes shall be required by Law to be deducted
from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Lender (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any
increases to any amount under this Section 9.1), such Lender receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent an original or certified copy of a
receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(c) In addition, each Loan
Party shall pay, and authorizes Agents to pay in its name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto
(including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, Other
Taxes). Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes such Loan Party, such Loan Party shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(d) The Borrower shall reimburse
and indemnify, within thirty (30) days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to Administrative Agent), each Lender for all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section 9.1) paid by such Lender and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the Lender (or
of Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with copy to Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and
final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, Administrative Agent and such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.



84



---

(e) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may
thereafter accrue) and would not, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.



| | 9.2 | Increased Costs and Reduction of Return
| | --- | ---------------------------------------

(a) If any Lender shall determine that, due to
either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law), in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) subsequent to the date hereof, the Lender shall be subject to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (h) of the
definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within
thirty (30) days of demand therefor by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs of such Taxes;
provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Subsection 9.2 for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower, in writing of the increased
costs and of such Lenders intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that:

(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other
Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof; or

(iv) compliance by such Lender (or
its Lending Office) or any entity controlling the Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

affects the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such or any entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lenders or such entities policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lenders desired return on capital) determines that the amount
of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment(s), loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within thirty (30) days of demand of such Lender (with a copy to administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional



85



---

amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender (or the entity controlling the Lender) for such increase; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this
Subsection 9.2(b) for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower, in writing of the amounts and of such Lenders intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the
event giving rise to such increase is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all
requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or
any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case in respect of this clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law under
Subsection 9.1 above and/or a change in Capital Adequacy Regulation under Subsection 9.2(b) above, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.



| | 9.3 | Certificates of Lenders
| | --- | -----------------------

Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to
this Article IX shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the
Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

any Loan Document in any currency (the Obligation Currency) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of

the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this Subsection 10.5(b) shall be due as a separate
