The information set forth in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

**Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.**

On March 3, 2026, Brookfield Private Equity Fund LP (the "Fund") entered into a credit agreement (the "Agreement") as a guarantor. The other parties to the Agreement include BPEF US Aggregator (ON) LP, the entity through which the Fund invests all or substantially all of its assets, as borrower (the "Borrower"), Brookfield Private Equity TE Feeder Fund LP (the "Feeder"), as another guarantor, and BPEG Manager Holdings LP, as lender.

In connection with the entry into the Agreement by the lender thereunder, the lender also entered into a credit agreement with BPE (Aggregator) SCSp (the "Lux Borrower" and such agreement, the "Lux Agreement"). The Fund, the Feeder and the Borrower are not parties to the Lux Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Lux Agreement, the lender under both the Agreement and the Lux Agreement agreed to provide loans under an unsecured revolving credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million, subject to customary conditions, provided that under the Agreement the Borrower maintains a loan to value ratio of not more than 50%.

Under the Agreement, borrowings will bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant Interest Period (as defined in the Agreement) over a year of 360 days), at Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Agreement) plus 3.65%. The Agreement matures on March 3, 2028.

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, financial tests, and affirmative and negative covenants. The Fund as guarantor under the Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees due and punctual payment and performance to the lender under the Agreement and agrees to punctually pay or perform such obligations unconditionally upon demand. Under the Agreement, the Borrower will bear customary fees and expenses for a credit facility of this size and type.

The foregoing summary description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:

"**Additional Facility Agreement**" means the credit agreement to be entered into by one or more of the Obligors and/or the BPEF Group Members with an arm's length financial institution prior to the Maturity Date.

"**Adjusted Term SOFR**" means, for purposes of any calculation, the rate per annum equal to (a) Term SOFR for such calculation plus (b) the Term SOFR Adjustment.

"**Affiliate**" means, with respect to any Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more Persons, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with, such Person.

"**Agreement**" means this credit agreement and all schedules and exhibits attached hereto, as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time.

"**Applicable Law**" means, in respect of any Person, property, transaction, event or other matter, as applicable, all Laws relating or applicable to such Person, property, transaction, event or matter.

"**Applicable Margin**" means, at any time, a rate per annum equal to 3.65%.

"**Authorization**" means, with respect to any Person, any authorization, order, permit, approval, grant, licence, consent, franchise, privilege, certificate, judgment, writ, injunction, award, determination, direction, decree, by-law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Person and legally binding on such Person.

"**Available Credit**" means, as at any date, the difference obtained by deducting the aggregate amount outstanding under the Credit Facility (calculated in accordance with Section 1.7) and the BPE Credit Facility (calculated in accordance with the BPE Loan Agreement) from the Credit Facility Amount as at such date.

"**Available Tenor**" means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (a) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement or (b) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of "Interest Period" pursuant to Section 2.11.4.

"**Benchmark**" means, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 2.11.1.

"**Benchmark Replacement**" means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Lenders on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the sum of: (i) Daily Simple SOFR
 and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark
 rate that has been selected by the Lenders and the Borrowers giving due consideration to

 for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or
 then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the
 then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and
 (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

"**Benchmark Replacement Adjustment**" means, with respect to any replacement of the then current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) for purposes of clause (a) of the
 definition of "Benchmark Replacement," the first alternative set forth in the
 order below that can be determined by the Lenders: (i) the spread adjustment, or method
 for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative
 value or zero) as of the time that such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest
 Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement
 of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable
 Corresponding Tenor; or (ii) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative
 value or zero) as of the time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period
 that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions
 to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable
 Corresponding Tenor; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) for purposes of clause (b) of the
 definition of "Benchmark Replacement," the spread adjustment, or method for calculating
 or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)
 that has been selected by the Lenders and the Borrowers giving due consideration to (i) any
 selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining
 such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted
 Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing
 market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining
 such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted
 Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities.

"**Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes**" means, with respect to the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of "Business Day", the definition of "Interest Period" or any similar or analogous definition (or the addition of a concept of "interest period"), timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Lenders decide, in consultation with the Borrowers, may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of any such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Lenders in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Lenders decide that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Lenders determine that no market practice for the administration of any such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Lenders decide, in consultation with the Borrowers, is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents).

"**Benchmark Replacement Date**" means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) in the case of clause (a) or (b) of

 date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the
 calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of
 such Benchmark (or such component thereof); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in the case of clause (c) of the
 definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the first date on which such Benchmark
 (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced
 by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof)
 to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by
 reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and
 even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be
 provided on such date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the "Benchmark Replacement Date" will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"**Benchmark Transition Event**" means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

 provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator
 that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a public statement or publication of information

 or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator
 for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark
 (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark
 (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such
 statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide
 any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) a
 public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such
 Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory
 supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing
 that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or
 as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative or do not, or as a specified
 future date will not, comply with the International Organization of Securities Commissions
 (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

The Lenders do not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as Term SOFR, or any other Benchmark, as applicable, prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Lenders and their affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Term SOFR, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Lenders may select information sources or services in their reasonable discretion to ascertain Term SOFR, or any other Benchmark, as applicable, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

**Article 2<br> THE CREDIT FACILITY**

**2.1** **Establishment of Credit Facility** 

2.1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders
 establish in favour of the Borrowers during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending
 on the Maturity Date, an unsecured revolving acquisition credit facility (the "**Credit Facility** ")
 and have established in favour of the Lux Borrower an unsecured revolving credit facility pursuant
 to the BPE Loan Agreement in the aggregate amount equal to the Credit Facility Amount. Subject to
 the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and re-borrow Loans under
 the Credit Facility provided that the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Credit Facility
 and the BPE Credit Facility shall never exceed the Credit Facility Amount.

2.1.2 Loans advanced under the Credit Facility are to be used by the Borrowers
 to fund Investments and for working capital purposes.

**2.2** **Loans and Borrowings** 

2.2.1 Each Borrowing under the Credit Facility will be comprised of SOFR
 Loans in Dollars, as any Borrower may request in accordance herewith.

2.2.2 Each Borrowing under the Credit Facility shall be in an aggregate
 amount that is not less than $1,000,000.

**2.3** **Requests for Borrowings** 

2.3.1 To request a Borrowing under the Credit Facility, any Borrower shall
 notify the Lenders of such request by written Borrowing Request substantially in the form of Exhibit A
 not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) three (3) Business Days before the date of
 the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable. The Lenders are entitled to rely
 upon and act upon any Borrowing Request given or purportedly given by any Borrower, and each Borrower
 hereby waives the right to dispute the authenticity and validity of any such transaction once the
 Lenders have advanced funds based on such Borrowing Request. Each Borrowing Request shall specify
 the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the aggregate amount of the requested
 Borrowing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the date of such Borrowing, which shall
 be a Business Day;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the initial Interest Period to be applicable
 to such Borrowing, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest
 Period"; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the location and number of the Borrower's
 account to which funds are to be disbursed.

2.3.2 Each Borrowing under the Credit Facility initially shall have the
 Interest Period specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. Thereafter, a Borrower must elect a
 new Interest Period therefor. A Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions
 of the affected Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
 Borrowing. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.3.2, a Borrower shall notify the Lenders
 of such election by a Borrowing Request required under Section 2.3.1 as if the Borrower were
 requesting a Borrowing to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Borrowing Request
 shall be irrevocable. In addition to the information specified in Section 2.3.1, each Borrowing
 Request shall specify the Borrowing to which such request applies and, if different options are being
 elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting
 Borrowing. If no election is made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2 at the end of an Interest Period
 applicable to any Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected an Interest Period
 of one month for such Loan for the immediately following Interest Period.

2.3.3 Each Borrowing will be subject to Sections 2.10 and 2.11.

**2.4** **Interest** 

2.4.1 The Loans under the Credit Facility comprising each Borrowing shall
 bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant Interest Period
 over a year of 360 days) at Adjusted Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such SOFR
 Loans plus the Applicable Margin.

2.4.2 The applicable Adjusted Term SOFR shall be determined by the Lenders,
 and such determination shall, absent manifest error, constitute *prima facie* evidence thereof.

2.4.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred
 and is continuing, the Loans shall bear interest to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, after
 as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to
 such Loan. All other amounts owing under this Agreement in such circumstances shall bear interest
 at an interest rate equal to the one month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 4.65% per annum.

2.4.4 Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
 Interest Payment Date and upon termination of the Credit Commitment, and in the event of any repayment
 or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable
 on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

2.4.5 All interest hereunder shall be payable for the actual number of days
 elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Any Loan that is repaid on the same
 day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

2.4.6 For the purposes of the *Interest Act* (Canada) and disclosure
 thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to
 be calculated on the basis of any period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate
 of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied
 by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided
 by 360, 365 or 366, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and
 not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to
 any interest calculation under this Agreement.

2.4.7 If any provision of this Agreement would oblige any Borrower to make
 any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate
 which would be prohibited by Law or would result in a receipt by the Lenders of "interest"
 at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the *Criminal Code* (Canada)),
 then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with
 retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be
 so prohibited by Law or so result in a receipt by the Lenders of "interest" at a "criminal
 rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary),
 as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) first, by reducing the amount or rate
 of interest required to be paid to the Lenders under Section 2.4; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions,
 premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute interest
 for purposes of Section 347 of the *Criminal Code* (Canada).

**2.5** **Evidence of Debt** 

2.5.1 The Lenders shall maintain accounts in which they shall record (i) the
 amount of each Loan made hereunder and the relevant Interest Periods applicable thereto, (ii) the
 amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers
 to such Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by such Lender hereunder.

2.5.2 The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.5.1
 shall be *prima facie* evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations
 recorded therein; provided that the failure of the Lenders to maintain such accounts or any error
 therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans and all
 other amounts payable in connection therewith, including interest and fees, in accordance with the
 terms of this Agreement.

**2.6** **Termination and Reduction of Credit Commitment** 

2.6.1 Unless previously terminated, and subject to Section 2.6.3, the
 commitment of the Lenders with respect to the Credit Facility will terminate on the Maturity Date
 and the Borrowers must repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility together with all interest
 and fees payable hereunder on the Maturity Date.

2.6.2 Any Borrower may, upon three Business Days prior written notice to
 the Lenders, with the written consent of the Lux Borrower, permanently cancel any unused portion of
 the Credit Facility and reduce the Credit Facility Amount by such amount without penalty. Any such
 cancellation shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000. Each notice delivered by a Borrower and the
 Lux Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6.2 shall be irrevocable.

2.6.3 Upon
 the Credit Facility Amount Reduction Date, the Credit Facility Amount shall be automatically
 reduced to $300,000,000 and concurrently therewith, the Borrowers shall repay all
 or any portion of the outstanding Loans as may be required such that the aggregate principal
 amount of (a) the Loans outstanding under this Agreement and (b) loans outstanding
 under the BPE Loan Agreement, does not exceed $300,000,000.

**2.7** **Repayment of Loans** 

Each Borrower hereby unconditionally jointly and severally promises to pay to the Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date that the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 7.1) together with all interest accrued thereon and other amounts outstanding under this Agreement.

**2.8** **Voluntary Prepayments** 

Any Borrower may, from time to time at its option, prepay any Loan without premium or penalty provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any prepayment is in an amount equal to
 a minimum of $100,000 depending upon the currency of repayment and any reduction is in a
 minimum amount of $100,000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Borrower pays concurrently with any
 such prepayment all interest accrued on the amount prepaid together with breakage costs,
 if any, incurred by the Lenders as a result of any such prepayment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Lenders receive written notice of
 such prepayment, at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment and specifying
 the amount and date of such prepayment. Any such notice shall be irrevocable and the Borrowers
 shall be bound to prepay in accordance with such notice.

**2.9** **Mandatory Prepayment** 

If, on any day, the LTV Ratio exceeds 50%, then the Borrowers agree that, within five (5) Business Days of any Borrower obtaining actual knowledge of same, they shall repay the Loans by an amount equal to such amount as is required to be repaid so that the LTV Ratio is equal to or less than 50% after such repayment is made.

**2.10** **Alternate Rate of Interest** 

If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a SOFR Borrowing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Lenders determine that adequate and
 reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining SOFR for such Interest Period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Lenders determine that SOFR for such
 Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making
 or maintaining SOFR Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Lenders shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers by telephone as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Lenders notify the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Borrowing Request that requests the continuation of any Borrowing as an affected SOFR Borrowing shall be deemed to request conversion to a Borrowing based on a rate to be determined by the Lenders, and (ii) any Borrowing Request that requests an affected SOFR Borrowing shall be made based on a rate to be determined by the Lenders.

**2.11** **Benchmark Replacement** 

2.11.1 *<u>Benchmark Replacement Setting</u>* . Notwithstanding anything
 to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its
 related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark,
 then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the
 definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark
 Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Financing Document
 in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to,
 or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Financing Document
 and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition
 of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement
 will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Financing Document in respect
 of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business
 Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Borrowers without any
 amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Financing
 Document so long as the Lenders have not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such
 Benchmark Replacement from any Borrower. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest
 payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

2.11.2 *<u>Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.</u>* In connection
 with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lenders will have the right to make Benchmark
 Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
 or in any other Financing Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming
 Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement
 or any other Financing Document.

2.11.3 *<u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.</u>* The Lenders will promptly notify the Borrowers of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement
 and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in connection with
 the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Lenders will
 notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant
 to Section 2.11.4 and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any
 determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.11,
 as applicable, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the
 occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain
 from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and
 may be made in their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in
 each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11.

2.11.4 *<u>Unavailability of Benchmark</u>* . Notwithstanding anything
 to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, at any time (including in connection with
 the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term
 rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is
 not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time
 as selected by the Lenders in their reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for
 the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information
 announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Lenders
 may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition)
 for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative
 tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is
 subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark
 Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will
 not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Lenders may modify
 the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all
 Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

2.11.5 *<u>Conversions or Continuations of SOFR Loans.</u>* Upon the
 Borrowers' receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the
 Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing, or continuation of SOFR Loans to be
 made or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will
 be deemed to have converted any such request for a SOFR Borrowing or continuation of a SOFR Borrowing
 into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to a loan having a rate to be determined by the Lenders
 and advised to the Borrowers.

**2.12** **Increased Costs; Illegality** 

2.12.1 If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any
 reserve, special deposit, additional capital, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
 requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
 a Lender or any of its lenders; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) impose on a Lender or any of its lenders
 any other condition affecting this Agreement or any cost or charge directly or indirectly
 incurred by such Lender in connection with a Loan hereunder (including the imposition on
 such Lender or any of its lenders of, or any change to, any Tax other than an Excluded Tax
 or other charge with respect to its or their SOFR Loans or participation therein, or its
 obligation to make SOFR Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

2.12.2 If a Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements
 has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital as a consequence
 of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender would
 have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies
 with respect to return on capital) prior to the occurrence of such Change in Law, then from time
 to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
 such Lender for any such reduction suffered.

2.12.3 A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
 to compensate such Lender as specified in Sections 2.12.1 or 2.12.2 shall be delivered to the
 Borrowers, and any such certificate shall include a brief description of the Change in Law and a
 calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender and shall, absent manifest
 error, be *prima facie* evidence of the amount of such compensation. In preparing any such certificate,
 a Lender shall be entitled to use averages and to make reasonable estimates, and shall not be required
 to "match contracts" or to isolate particular transactions. The Borrowers shall pay each
 applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

2.12.4 Failure or delay on the part of a Lender to demand compensation pursuant
 to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such
 compensation; <u>provided</u> that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any such amount demanded
 by a Lender which is attributable to periods prior to the date which is 90 days preceding the
 date of such demand.

2.12.5 In the event that a Lender shall have determined (which determination
 shall be reasonably exercised and shall, absent manifest error, constitute *prima facie* evidence
 thereof) at any time that the making or continuance of any SOFR Loan has become unlawful or materially
 restricted as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any applicable Law, then,
 in any such event, such Lender shall give prompt notice (by telephone and confirmed in writing) to
 the Borrowers of such determination. Upon the giving of the notice to the Borrowers referred to in
 this Section 2.12.5, the Borrowers' right to request (by continuation or otherwise), and
 such Lender's obligation to make, SOFR Loans shall be immediately suspended, and thereafter
 any requested Borrowing of SOFR Loans shall be deemed to be a request for a Borrowing based on a
 rate to be determined by the Lenders and if the affected SOFR Loans are then outstanding, the Borrowers
 shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable Law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon
 at least one Business Day prior written notice to the Lenders, convert each such affected SOFR Loan
 into a Loan bearing interest at a rate to be determined by the Lenders.

**2.13** **Breakage Costs** 

In the event of (a) the failure by a Borrower to borrow or continue any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant hereto, or (b) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or prepayment), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate the Lenders for all loss, costs and expenses that the Lenders incur in connection with such event (including all loss, costs and expenses that the Lenders incur under their own credit facilities), as determined by the Lenders. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall, absent manifest error, constitute *prima facie* evidence thereof. The Borrowers shall pay the applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

**2.14** **Withholding Tax Indemnity** 

Any and all payments required to be made by or on behalf of the Borrowers under this Agreement will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future taxes or similar charges (collectively, the "**Withholdings**") unless such Withholdings are required to be made under applicable law. If a Borrower is so required to deduct or withhold any Withholdings from any amount payable to the Lenders and if such Withholdings are Indemnified Taxes:

2.14.1 The amount payable to the Lenders will be increased as may be necessary
 so that, after making all required Withholdings, each Lender receives an amount equal to the amount
 that it would have received had no such Withholdings been withheld or deducted.

2.14.2 The applicable Borrower will remit the Withholdings to the appropriate
 taxation authority following its deduction or withholding prior to the date on which penalties attach
 thereto.

2.14.3 Within 30 days after such Withholdings have been remitted, the
 applicable Borrower will deliver to the applicable Lender evidence satisfactory to such Lender, acting
 reasonably, that the taxes or charges in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made
 have been remitted to the appropriate taxation authority.

2.14.4 The Borrowers will indemnify a Lender, within ten (10) days
 after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Lender on
 or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including
 Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and
 any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
 or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant taxation
 authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability (setting forth in reasonable
 detail the basis and calculation of such amounts) delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender will be
 conclusive absent manifest error.

2.14.5 If a Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
 tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement, it shall deliver to the applicable Borrower,
 at the time or times reasonably requested in writing by such Borrower, such properly completed and
 executed documentation so requested as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or
 at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, a Lender, if reasonably requested in writing by any
 Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or so requested by
 such Borrower as will enable such Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
 backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
 in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other
 than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.14.6 and 2.14.7 below) shall not be required
 if in a Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject
 such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal
 or commercial position of such Lender.

2.14.6 Without limiting the generality of Section 2.14.5, in the event
 that any Borrower is a U.S. Borrower:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if a Lender is a U.S. Person it shall
 deliver to such Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes party to this
 Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower),
 executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal
 backup withholding tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if a Lender is a Foreign Lender it shall,
 to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower (in such number of
 copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
 Lender becomes party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
 request of such Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming
 the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with
 respect to payments of interest under this Agreement, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E
 establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to
 the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
 applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption
 from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the "business
 profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming
 the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
 IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Appendix E-1 to the effect that
 such Foreign Lenders is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
 the IRC, a "10 percent shareholder" of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of
 the IRC, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of
 the IRC (a "**U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate**") and (y) executed originals
 of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Appendix E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

2.14.7 If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject
 to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with
 the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to such Borrower at the time or
 times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower such documentation
 prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
 IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower as may be necessary
 for such Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has
 complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from
 such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.14.7, "FATCA" shall include
 any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

2.14.8 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously
 delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect,
 it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the applicable Borrower in writing
 of its legal inability to do so.

2.14.9 If, following the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes on any payment
 by the applicable Borrower to a Lender in respect of which such Borrower is required to make an additional
 payment pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Lender receives or is granted a credit against or
 remission for or deduction from or in respect of any taxes or charges paid by it or obtains any other
 relief which, in such Lender's opinion, is both reasonably identifiable and quantifiable by
 it without imposing an unacceptable administrative burden on it (any of the foregoing being a "saving"),
 such Lender will reimburse such Borrower with such amount as such Lender will have concluded, in
 its absolute discretion but in good faith, to be the amount or value of the relevant saving but only
 to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this
 Section 2.14 with respect to Withholdings giving rise to such refund or reduction, net of all
 out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any net after-tax interest
 paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Nothing herein contained
 will interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit
 and, in particular, the Lenders will not be under any obligation to claim relief for tax purposes
 on its corporate profits or otherwise, or to claim such relief in priority to any other claims, relief,
 credits or deductions available to it or to disclose details of its affairs. Each Lender will notify
 the applicable Borrower promptly of the receipt by such Lender of any such saving and of such Lender's
 opinion as to the amount or value thereof, and any reimbursement to be made by such Lender will be
 made promptly on the date of receipt of such saving by such Lender or, if later, on the last date
 on which the applicable taxation authority would be able in accordance with applicable law to reclaim
 or reduce such saving. The applicable Borrower, upon the request of a Lender, agrees to repay the
 amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
 Governmental Authority) to such Lender if such Lender is required to repay such refund or reduction
 to such Governmental Authority. This will not be construed to require any Lender to make available
 its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any
 Borrower or any other Person.

**2.15** **Payments Generally** 

The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, amounts payable under any of Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lenders, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. The Borrowers shall make payments to the Lenders in accordance with instructions provided by the Lenders to the Borrowers.

**2.16** **Currency Indemnity** 

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Financing Document, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the "**Judgment Currency**") any amount due under this Agreement or under any other Financing Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the "**Currency Due**"), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose "rate of exchange" means the rate at which a Lender is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Lenders of the amount due, the Borrowers will, on the date of receipt by the Lenders, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by the Lenders on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the Lenders is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other Financing Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which a Lender is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, the Borrowers shall indemnify and save such Lender harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Lenders from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any other Financing Document or under any judgment or order.

**2.17** **Addition of Borrowers** 

Any Obligor may elect from time to time to designate another Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder subject to delivering to the Lenders a signed accession agreement in the form required by the Lenders and from and after the date of such designation, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a "Borrower" and "Obligor" hereunder.

**2.18** **Addition of Guarantors** 

Any Borrower may elect from time to time to designate another Affiliate as a Guarantor hereunder subject to delivering to the Lenders a signed accession agreement in the form required by the Lenders and from and after the date of such designation, such Affiliate shall for all purposes be a "Guarantor" and "Obligor" hereunder.

**Article 8<br> guarantees**

**8.1** **Guarantees** 

To induce the Lenders to execute and deliver this Agreement and to make or maintain the Credit Facility in favour of the Borrowers, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (this "**Obligor Guarantee**") to the Lenders due and punctual payment and performance to the Lenders upon demand made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of all debts, liabilities and obligations of or owing by the Borrowers to the Lenders at any time and from time to time, present and future, direct and indirect, absolute and contingent, matured or not, arising from this Agreement, and whether as principal or surety, and including without limitation, all liabilities of the Borrowers arising as a consequence of their failure to pay or fulfil any of such debts, liabilities and obligations (collectively, the "**Guaranteed Obligations**").

**8.2** **Indemnity** 

In addition to the guarantee specified in Section 8.1, each Obligor agrees to indemnify and save the Lenders harmless from and against all reasonable costs, losses, expenses and damages it may suffer as a result or consequence of, any Borrower's default in the performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any inability by the Lenders to recover the ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to the Lenders in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including without limitation, reasonable legal fees incurred by or on behalf of the Lenders resulting from any action instituted on the basis of this Obligor Guarantee.

8.3.2 Nothing but payment and satisfaction in
 full of the Guaranteed Obligations will release a Borrower or Guarantor from its obligations
 under this Obligor Guarantee.

**8.4** **Continuing Obligation**

 Obligations has been made and where such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
 upon the occurrence of any action or event, including the insolvency or bankruptcy of any
 Borrower or Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

**8.5** **Obligor Guarantee Unaffected** 

This Obligor Guarantee will not be determined or affected, nor will the Lender's rights under this Obligor Guarantee be prejudiced by, the termination of any Guaranteed Obligations by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of any Obligor, or any change in the name, business, powers, capital structure, constitution, objects, organization, directors or management of any Obligor, with respect to transactions occurring either before or after such change. This Obligor Guarantee is to extend to the liabilities of the Person or Persons for the time being and from time to time carrying on the business now carried on by any Obligor, notwithstanding any reorganization of any Obligor or any Additional Guarantor or the amalgamation of any Obligor or any Additional Guarantor with one or more other corporations (in this case, this Obligor Guarantee will extend to the liabilities of the resulting corporation and the terms "Borrower", "Guarantor", "Obligor" and "Additional Guarantor", as applicable, will include such resulting corporation) or any sale or disposal of any Obligor or Additional Guarantor's business in whole or in part to one or more other Persons and all of such liabilities will be included in the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Obligor agrees that the manner in which the Lenders may now or subsequently deal with any other Obligor, any Additional Guarantor or any security (or any collateral subject to the security) or other guarantee in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations will have no effect on such Obligor's continuing liability under this Obligor Guarantee and each Obligor irrevocably waives any rights it may have in respect of any of the above.

Each Obligor waives each of the following, to the fullest extent permitted by Law:

 equitable) the assertion or exercise of which would in any way diminish the liability of
 an Obligor hereunder.

 or other guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations.

**8.8** **Action or Inaction** 

Except as provided at Law, no action or omission on the part of the Lenders in exercising or failing to exercise their rights under this Article 8 or in connection with or arising from all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations will make the Lenders liable to any Obligor for any loss occasioned to such Obligor.

**8.9** **Lenders' Rights** 

The rights and remedies provided in this Article 8 are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

**8.10** **Demand**

**8.11** **General Limitations on Guarantee Obligations** 

If as a result of any action or proceeding involving any corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any Debtor Relief Law, the obligations of an Obligor under Section 8.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Obligor or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount after giving effect to any rights of contribution that are valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

**9.4** **Successors and Assigns** 

9.4.1 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 no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any
 of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders,
 except to a successor in connection with a transaction completed in accordance with Section 6.2.

9.4.2 A Lender may assign to one or more assignees
 all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing
 Documents at any time upon giving the Borrowers written notice thereof.

9.4.3 Any Lender may at any time and from time

 of this Agreement and be jointly and severally liable with each other Lender hereunder for
 the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.

9.4.4 The Borrowers and the Lenders shall agree,
 in the event of any assignment pursuant to Section 9.4.2 or the addition of any new

 including to incorporate such standard notice, agency and inter-lender provisions as may
 reasonably be requested by the Lenders.

9.4.5 The Lenders agree that, unless they agree
 otherwise as between themselves with respect to any Loans or any of their obligations hereunder,
 the following provisions shall apply to govern their respective rights and obligations as
 between each other:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all Loans will be advanced by the Lenders
 equally, with each of the Lenders advancing its *pro rata* share of each Loan requested
 by the Borrowers hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) notwithstanding Section 9.4.5(a),
 each of the Lenders will be jointly and severally liable to the Borrowers for the obligations
 of the Lenders to advance Loans to the Borrowers hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) all payments received by the Lenders (or
 any of them) in respect of the Obligations (whether from the Borrowers, by the exercise of
 remedies, by set-off or otherwise) will be applied in the following order of priority:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) first, to reimburse the Lenders for all
 unreimbursed expenses and costs incurred by them and indemnification amounts owing to them,
 with each Lenders receiving its *pro rata* share based on the aggregate of such amounts
 owing to it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) second, to pay all accrued but unpaid interest
 and breakage costs owing to the Lenders, on a *pro rata* basis based on the respective
 amounts owing to them;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) third, to pay all principal owing to the
 Lenders, on a *pro rata* basis based on the respective amounts of principal owing to
 them; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) fourth, to pay any other Obligations owing
 to the Lenders, on a *pro rata* basis based on their share of such Obligations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) all decisions will be made by the Lenders
 unanimously.

**9.5** **Survival** 

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the other Financing Documents and the Compliance Certificates shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, and all such covenants and agreements 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 Credit Commitment has not expired or terminated other than these amounts claimed or capable of being claimed under sections of this Agreement which by the terms of this Agreement, survive termination of this Agreement. Sections 2.12.1, 2.13, 2.14.6, 9.3 and 9.5 shall survive and remain in full force and effect, regardless of the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Credit Commitment or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

**9.6** **Senior Indebtedness** 

The obligations of the Obligors hereunder are intended to (a) rank subordinate to the Additional Facility Agreement and all other secured financings of the Obligors, (b) except as aforesaid, be "senior indebtedness" of the Obligors, (c) rank *pari passu* with other senior indebtedness of the Obligors (excluding those listed in paragraph (a)), and (d) rank in priority to any obligations of the Obligors that are by their terms expressly subordinated. For clarity, it is the intention of the parties that any Financial Instrument Obligations owed to a Lender by an Obligor shall rank *pari passu* with the obligations of such Obligor hereunder to such Lender.

**9.7** **Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness** 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Financing Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lenders, 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. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lenders and when the Lenders shall have received the counterpart hereof which, when taken together, bears the Obligors' signatures, 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.

**9.8** **Severability** 

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

**9.9** **Right of Set Off** 

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

**9.10** **Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process** 

9.10.1 This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
 with and governed by the Laws of the State of New York.

9.10.2 Each of the Obligors hereby irrevocably
 and unconditionally(a) agrees that it will not commence any action or proceeding, whether
 in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, against the Lenders in any way
 arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document or the transactions
 relating hereto or thereto in a forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting
 in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
 York, and any appellate court from any thereof and (b) submits, for itself and its property,
 to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any action or proceeding arising out of or
 relating to this Agreement, or any other Financing Document or for recognition or enforcement
 of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
 that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in
 such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, federal court. Each
