Interest and fee pricing with respect to Borrowings outstanding prior to the Second Restatement Date shall be as set out in the Existing Credit Agreement, prior to its amendment and restatement in the form hereof, provided that no adjustment shall be made with respect to an acceptance fee collected prior to such date. As at December 8, 2022, the Applicable Margin shall be based upon the shaded row. Thereafter, the Applicable Margin shall change (to the extent necessary, if any) on each date on which the financial statements and Compliance Certificate of the Borrower are delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.1(1) to reflect any change in the Leverage Ratio effective as of the date of such financial statements, based upon the financial statements for the immediately preceding Rolling Period, or if such day is not a Business Day, then the first Business Day thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Borrower fails to deliver financial statements and the certificate of the Borrower as required by Section 5.1(1) on or before the date required pursuant to Section 5.1(1) (without regard to grace periods), the Applicable Margin shall be the highest margins provided for in the above grid from the date such financial statements are due pursuant to Section 5.1(1) (without regard to grace periods) through the date the Administrative Agent receives all financial statements and certificates that are then due pursuant to Section 5.1(1). Any increase or decrease in: (x) the interest rates on SOFR Loans outstanding on the effective date of a change in the aforesaid rates and fees will apply proportionately to each such SOFR Loan outstanding on the basis of the number of days remaining in the term to maturity thereof; (y) the Acceptance Fees on Bankers' Acceptances outstanding on the effective date of a change in the aforesaid rates and fees will apply for new Bankers' Acceptances issued after such effective date or on any rollover of an existing Bankers' Acceptance but otherwise the Acceptance Fees on any Bankers' Acceptance existing at such effective date will not change until the maturity date thereof; and (z) the fees on Letters of Credit outstanding on the effective date of a change in the aforesaid rates and fees will apply proportionately to each such Letter of Credit outstanding on the basis of the number of days remaining in the term to maturity or renewal thereof.

"**Applicable Maturity Date**" means the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Term Credit (Tranche B) Maturity Date or the Term Credit (Tranche C) Maturity Date, as the context may require.

"**Applicable Percentage**" means, in respect of any Lender at any time, with respect to a Credit or all Credits, the percentage of such Credit or of all Credits, as the case may be, which such Lender has agreed to make available to the Borrower at such time, determined by dividing such Lender's Commitment in respect of such Credit or of all Credits, as the case may be, by the aggregate of all of the Lenders' Commitments with respect to such Credit or all Credits, as the case may be; <u>provided that</u>, for the purposes of determining a Lender's share of a Borrowing under the Revolving Credit pursuant to Section 2.1(1), the Applicable Percentage of each Lender shall be calculated net of the Swingline Commitment. If any Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages in respect of the terminated or expired Commitments shall be determined based upon the relevant Commitments most recently in effect (prior to their termination or expiry), giving effect to any assignments.

"**Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment**" means, for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2022), with reference to the reported values of the SPT Metrics in the Sustainability Certificate delivered for the end of the most recently ended Fiscal Year, the sum of each "Adjustment to the Applicable Margin" for each SPT Metric set forth in the row opposite such SPT Metric, subject to Section 2.22:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) the aggregate amount of all Additional Commitments requested at any one time shall not be less than Cdn.$50,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) For greater certainty, any Additional Lender shall be entitled to share pro rata in any prepayments made
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9, and the obligations of the Credit Parties under any such Additional Commitment shall form
part of the Secured Liabilities.

2.2 Loans and Borrowings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Loans*. Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Credit Lenders rateably based upon their Applicable Percentages. Each Term Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Term Loans made by the Term Credit Lenders rateably based upon their Applicable Percentages. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.20. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender's failure to make Loans as required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Composition of Borrowings.* Subject to Section 2.20, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Canadian Prime Loans, Bankers' Acceptances, B/A Equivalent Loans, Base Rate Loans, SOFR Loans or Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Term Loan (Tranche B) shall be comprised entirely of Canadian Prime Loans, Bankers' Acceptances or B/A Equivalent Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Term Loan (Tranche C) shall be comprised entirely of Canadian Prime Loans, Bankers' Acceptances or B/A Equivalent Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender may at its option make any SOFR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Lender Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not result in any increased costs for the Borrower or affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Amount of Borrowings.* At the commencement of each Interest Period for any SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of U.S.$100,000 and not less than U.S.$5,000,000. At the time that each Canadian Prime Borrowing or Base Rate Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of Cdn.$100,000/U.S.$100,000 and not less than Cdn.$1,000,000/U.S.$1,000,000; provided that a Canadian Prime Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total applicable Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement. Borrowings of more than one Type and class may be outstanding at the same time.

2.3 Requests for Borrowings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Requesting a Borrowing*. To request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each, a "**Borrowing Request**") (a) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of a B/A Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon one Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (c) in the case of a Canadian Prime Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of a Canadian Prime Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement shall not be given later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable. The Administrative Agent and each Lender are entitled to rely and act upon any Borrowing Request given or purportedly given by the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the authenticity and validity of any such request or resulting transaction once the Administrative Agent or any Lender has advanced funds, accepted a B/A or made a B/A Equivalent Loan based on such Borrowing Request. Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the aggregate amount of each requested Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing will consist of Revolving
Loans, Term Loans (Tranche B) or Term Loans (Tranche C);

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Canadian Prime Borrowing, a B/A Borrowing, a Base Rate Borrowing, a
SOFR Borrowing or a Letter of Credit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, the currency and initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which
shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "**Interest Period** ", and in the case of a B/A Borrowing,
the initial Contract Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "**Contract Period** "; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) the location and number of the Borrower's account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall
comply herewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Default Terms*. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Canadian Prime Borrowing (if denominated in Canadian Dollars) or a Base Rate Borrowing (if denominated in U. S. Dollars). If no currency is specified, the Borrowing shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. If no currency is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected U.S.$. If no Contract Period is specified with respect to any requested B/A Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Contract Period of 30 days' duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with Section 2.3, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Conversion or Rollover of Borrowings*. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert a Borrowing to a different Type or to rollover such Borrowing and, in the case of (a) a SOFR Borrowing, may elect a new Interest Period (but not a new currency) therefor, or (b) a B/A Borrowing, may elect a new Contract Period therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.3(3). 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 2.3(3) shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.3(3), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3(1) if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such request shall be irrevocable. In addition to the information specified in Section 2.3(1), each written 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower is not entitled to elect a new Contract Period in respect of a B/A Borrowing or a new Interest Period in respect of a SOFR Borrowing, or to convert a Borrowing of any Type into a SOFR Borrowing, a B/A or B/A Equivalent Loan, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case B/A Borrowings shall automatically convert to Canadian Prime Borrowings at the end their Contract Period and SOFR Borrowings shall automatically convert to Base Rate Borrowings (in an equivalent amount of U.S.$ at such time as determined by the Administrative Agent, if applicable) at the end of their Interest Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Deemed Election to Convert.* In the absence of a timely and proper election with regard to (a) SOFR Borrowings, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such SOFR Borrowings to Base Rate Borrowings (in an equivalent amount of U.S.$ at such time as determined by the Administrative Agent, if applicable) on the last day of the Interest Period of the relevant SOFR Borrowings, and (b) B/A Borrowings, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such B/A Borrowings to Canadian Prime Borrowings on the last day of the Contract Period of the relevant B/A Borrowings.

2.4 Funding of Borrowings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Funding.* Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon (Toronto time), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.20. The Administrative Agent shall make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in Toronto and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; <u>provided that</u> Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.19 shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Each Lender's Share of Borrowing.* Unless the Administrative Agent has received written 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 Section 2.4(1) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, 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 Administrative Agent shall seek repayment of such corresponding amount, firstly, from the applicable Lender and, secondly, from the Borrower, if the applicable Lender does not immediately repay such corresponding amount. The applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree 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 to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the default interest rate applicable to Canadian Prime Loans (if the unpaid amount is denominated in Canadian Dollars) or to Base Rate Loans (if the unpaid amount is denominated in U.S. Dollars). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be made without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Defaulting Lender.

2.5 Interest and Acceptance Fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Interest.* The Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect. The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect. Each SOFR Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Period over a year of 360 days) at Adjusted Term SOFR with respect to U.S.$ for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Acceptance Fee.* The Loans comprising each B/A Borrowing shall be subject to the Acceptance Fee which shall be payable as set out in Section 2.11.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Before and After Judgment Interest.* Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing the Loans shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) subject to Section 2.5(3)(b), at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such
Loan or, in the case of any amount not constituting principal or interest on a Loan, at a rate equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable
to, in the case of Canadian Dollar amounts, Canadian Prime Loans, or in the case of U.S. Dollar amounts, Base Rate Loans; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if the rate provided for in Section 2.5(3)(a) is otherwise determined to be unenforceable, then, at a
rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or, in the case of any amount not constituting principal or interest
on a Loan, at a rate equal to the rate otherwise applicable to, in the case of Canadian Dollar amounts, Canadian Prime Loans, or in the
case of U.S. Dollar amounts, Base Rate Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Accrued Interest.* Accrued interest on each Loan (other than B/A Borrowings) shall be payable in arrears on (a) each applicable Interest Payment Date, (b) in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination in full of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and (c) in the case of Term Loans, upon termination of the Term Credit Commitments. In addition, in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. Interest on overdue amounts shall be payable upon demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *Days Interest Payable.* All interest hereunder shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. The applicable Canadian Prime Rate, Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Discount Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) *Yearly Rate of Interest.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) For the purposes of the *Interest Act* (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest
or any fee to be paid under any Loan Document is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest
to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year
in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Borrower acknowledges and confirms that:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each Credit Party is able to calculate the yearly rate or percentage of interest payable under any Loan
Document based upon the methodology set out in clause (a) above.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the amount of interest payable
under any Loan Document is reduced by virtue of the application of Section 4 of the *Interest Act* (Canada), then the Borrower shall
immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand
by the Administrative Agent (or, if an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.1(g) or (h) shall have occurred and be continuing, automatically
and without further action by the Administrative Agent), an amount equal to the amount of such reduction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) *Criminal Interest.* If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable Law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the *Criminal Code* (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest or the amount or rate of any Acceptance Fee required
to be paid to the affected Lender under Section 2.5; and

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) *Judgment Interest Act (Alberta)*. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the provisions of the *Judgment Interest Act (Alberta)* will not apply to the Loan Documents and are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) *Reconciliation for Additional Interest and Fees.* Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, as a result of any restatement or other adjustment to the financial statements delivered under this Agreement (including any adjustment to unaudited financial statements as a result of subsequent audited financial statements) or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that the Leverage Ratio as of any applicable date was inaccurate and, as a result of such occurrence the Applicable Margins applicable to any Loans or any fees for any period were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) lower than should otherwise have been the case, then the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively
be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent
(or, if an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.1(g) or (h) shall have occurred and be continuing, automatically and without further
action by the Administrative Agent), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid by the
Borrower for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid by the Borrower for such period, plus interest on such amount
at the rate otherwise applicable herein; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) higher than should otherwise have been the case, then the Lenders shall immediately and retroactively
be obligated to refund to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower, promptly on demand by the Borrower, an amount equal
to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that was actually paid by the Borrower for such period over the amount of interest and
fees that should have been paid by the Borrower for such period.

The obligations under this Section 2.5(9) shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all Indebtedness hereunder; **<u>provided that</u>**, in no event shall the Lenders be required to refund more than six months of interest and fees under clause (b).

2.6 Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Extensions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Maturity Dates.* Unless previously terminated, (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and (ii) the Term Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Term Credit (Tranche B) Maturity Date or the Term Credit (Tranche C) Maturity Date, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Cancellation of Unused Credit.* The Borrower may, upon five Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, permanently cancel any unused portion of the Revolving Credit, without penalty. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such notice. Any such cancellation shall be applied rateably in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments of each Revolving Credit Lender. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6(2) shall be irrevocable. Any portion of the Revolving Credit cancelled pursuant to this Section 2.6(2) shall not be reinstated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Extensions.* The Borrower may, once in each calendar year and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent for a Borrowing set forth in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b), deliver to the Administrative Agent a request for an extension of the then Applicable Maturity Date (the effective date for such extension, as designated by the Borrower in the Extension Request (defined below), being referred to in this Section 2.6 as an "**Extension Date**") for a period of up to, in respect of the Term Credit (Tranche B), three (3) years, in respect of the Term Credit (Tranche C), five (5) years, and in respect of the Revolving Credit, five (5) years, after the then applicable Extension Date (the "**Extension Request**"); provided (i) such proposed Extension Date shall be no earlier than 90 days following the date of delivery of such Extension Request to the Administrative Agent and (ii) that the Borrower may withdraw an Extension Request, even if the Required Lenders have already consented to such Extension Request, by notice in writing delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Extension Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any Extension Request, with particulars thereof. By no later than 5:00 p.m. Toronto time on the date that is 30 days after the Administrative Agent has notified a Lender of its receipt of an Extension Request, such Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to extend or not extend the Applicable Maturity Date as requested in such Extension Request (which election to extend or not extend shall be made by each such Lender in its sole and absolute discretion). Any failure by any Lender to so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to extend or not extend the then Applicable Maturity Date as requested in such Extension Request shall be deemed to be a refusal to extend such Applicable Maturity Date. Unless the Extension Request has been withdrawn by the Borrower in accordance with the proviso above, if the Required Lenders approve in writing the extension of the Applicable Maturity Date requested in such Extension Request, the then Applicable Maturity Date shall automatically and without any further action by any Person be extended for the period specified in such Extension Request; provided that, if an Extension Request has been made, but there are one or more Lenders which do not consent in writing to the Extension Request within 30 days after receipt of the notice of the Extension Request from the Administrative Agent (a "**Non-Extending Lender**"), then the Borrower shall be entitled to choose one of the following options, and the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its choice not later than 10 days prior to the Extension Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Borrowings under the applicable Credit of any Non-Extending Lender
shall be repaid on the Applicable Maturity Date (without giving effect to the extension requested in such Extension Request, with respect
to the Non-Extending Lender only);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) at the sole expense of the Borrower, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, the Commitments under the applicable Credit of any Non-Extending Lender shall be assigned to (and assumed by)
an assignee permitted under Section 9.4 upon payment by the assignee to the Non-Extending Lender of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of the Loans under the applicable Credit and participation in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans thereunder, if any, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to the Non-Extending Lender hereunder in respect of such Credit, provided
that (i) such assignment does not conflict with any applicable Law, and (ii) any assignee which becomes a Lender as a result
of such an assignment shall be deemed to have consented to the applicable Extension Request and, therefore, shall not be a Non-Extending
Lender; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Borrower may withdraw the applicable Extension Request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Non-Extending Lenders .* Any Non-Extending Lender shall provide to the Borrower its full co-operation in facilitating the assignment of the applicable Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender to an assignee permitted hereunder (which assignee may be another Lender, if such assignee Lender accepts such assignment) identified by the Borrower that is ready, willing and able to be an assignee with respect thereto. If an Extension Request has been made and if, within 30 days after receipt by the Lenders of the notice of the Extension Request from the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders have not approved in writing the extension of the Extension Date requested in an Extension Request, the Extension Date shall not be extended pursuant to such Extension Request. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of (a) any extension of the Extension Date pursuant to Section 2.6, and (b) of any Lender which becomes a Non-Extending Lender.

2.7 Repayment of Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Repayment of Revolving Credit.* The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (a) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and (b) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan outstanding on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Repayment of Term Credit.* The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term Credit Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the (a) Term Loans (Tranche B) on the Term Credit (Tranche B) Maturity Date, and (b) Term Loans (Tranche C) on the Term Credit (Tranche C) Maturity Date.

2.8 Evidence of Debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Accounts of Indebtedness.* Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Borrowing made by such Lender hereunder, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Account Details.* The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (a) the amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the class and Type thereof and, in the cases of Bankers' Acceptances and SOFR Loans, the relevant Contract Period or Interest Period/currency, applicable thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (c) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Accounts Conclusive.* The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.8(1) and *‎*(2) shall be conclusive evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Borrowings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the records maintained by the Administrative Agent and any Lender, the records maintained by the Administrative Agent shall govern.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Promissory Notes.* Any Lender may request that Loans (other than B/As) made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

2.9 Prepayments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Currency Fluctuations*. If at any time the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender exceeds its Revolving Credit Commitment (any such excess being referred to in this Section 2.9(1) as a "**Currency Excess Amount**"), then upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with this Section 2.9, for the account of such Lender, an amount equal to the Currency Excess Amount with respect to such Lender to be applied (a) as a prepayment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations outstanding to such Lender, and (b) thereafter as Cover to such Lender for its LC Exposure under the Revolving Credit in an amount of such remaining Currency Excess Amount. If any Currency Excess Amount with respect to any Lender is equal to or greater than 3% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, then the repayment of such Currency Excess Amount to such Lender shall be made by the Borrower within three Business Days after the Administrative Agent requests such repayment. If any Currency Excess Amount with respect to any Lender is less than 3% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, then the repayment of the Currency Excess Amount to such Lender shall be made on the next Quarterly Date following receipt by the Borrower of written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent so long as such Currency Excess Amount continues to exist on such Quarterly Date. The Administrative Agent shall request repayment of any Currency Excess Amount in accordance with this Section pursuant to any request received from a Lender, but the Administrative Agent is not otherwise required to monitor Currency Excess Amount levels or to request repayment thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Mandatory Loan Prepayments*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the event of an Asset Disposition by any Credit Party, the Borrower shall, within fifteen Business
Days of such Asset Disposition, prepay (by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders) an aggregate principal
amount of Loans equal to the amount of Net Proceeds of such Asset Disposition; <u>provided that</u> this prepayment requirement shall
not apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to that portion of such Net Proceeds used by a Credit Party to purchase replacement assets within 360
days of such Asset Disposition if, prior to such Asset Disposition, the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent of its intention
to apply the Net Proceeds in such manner; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to any Asset Disposition the Net Proceeds of which are less than Cdn.$5,000,000; <u>provided that</u> not more than Cdn.$20,000,000 of Net Proceeds in any Fiscal Year shall be excluded from the prepayment requirements of Section 2.9(2)(a)
as result of this clause (ii).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.9(2)(a) shall be applied to the repayment of amounts
outstanding under the Revolving Credit (without a permanent cancellation of a corresponding portion of the Revolving Credit) and/or the
Term Credit (with a permanent cancellation of a corresponding portion of the Term Credit), as elected by the Borrower. In the case of
any prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.9(2)(a), the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent written notice of such prepayment
at least three Business Days prior to the date such prepayment is to be made; <u>provided that</u> any failure to do so shall not relieve
the Borrower of the prepayment obligation in question.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Voluntary Prepayments*. The Borrower may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, upon giving three Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Canadian Prime Loans, Base Rate Loans, SOFR Loans, B/As (or B/A Equivalent Loans) or any combination thereof, and, in each case if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Term Loan Prepayments*. Prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.9(2) or (3) shall be applied between the Term Credit (Tranche B) and the Term Credit (Tranche C) as the Borrower may direct in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *Notice by Borrower*. Each notice provided by the Borrower hereunder in respect of any prepayment hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing under the Term Credit shall be permanent and shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing as provided in Section 2.2(3).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) *Notice by Administrative Agent*. Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 2.9, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Applicable Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender's share of such prepayment based upon its Applicable Percentage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) *General*. Any amount required to be prepaid on a date pursuant to Section 2.9 shall be due and payable together with any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.14 and accrued interest to such date on such amount in accordance with Section 2.5(4). For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment of a B/A (or B/A Equivalent Loan) shall be applied against the face amount (or undiscounted amount) thereof. Any prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.9(1), (2) or (3) shall be applied within a Credit first to Canadian Prime Loans or Base Rate Loans, second to SOFR Loans, and third to B/A's or B/A Equivalent Loans, and the Borrower shall convert Net Proceeds received from an Asset Disposition as required to do so.

2.10 Fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Standby Fees.* The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of and distribution to each Revolving Credit Lender a standby fee for the period commencing on the Second Restatement Date to and including the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have been terminated entirely) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the excess amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender over its Revolving Credit Exposure. Such standby fee shall be (a) payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Date to occur after the Second Restatement Date, and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, and (b) computed daily on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Participation and Fronting Fees*. The Borrower shall pay:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect
to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin for Letters of Credit 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 Second Restatement Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to the applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the
daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and
including the Second Restatement Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the
date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.

Participation fees and fronting fees shall be (a) payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, and (b) computed daily on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Participation and fronting fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Fees to Administrative Agent.* The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Fee Letter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Payment of Fees.* All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of standby and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable except in the case of manifest error in the calculation of any fee payment.

2.11 Bankers' Acceptances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Request for B/A Borrowings.* Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may request a Borrowing by presenting drafts for acceptance and purchase as B/As by the Lenders. The Borrower shall not be entitled to obtain or roll over any B/A Borrowings or B/A Equivalent Loans at any time that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Contract Period.* No Contract Period with respect to a B/A to be accepted and purchased shall extend beyond the Applicable Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Lender as Power of Attorney.* To facilitate availment of B/A Borrowings, the Borrower hereby appoints each Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf (in accordance with a Borrowing Request relating to a B/A Borrowing), in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Lender, blank forms of B/As in the form requested by such Lender. Each Lender shall maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. The Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed or endorsed by a Lender on behalf of the Borrower shall bind the Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of the Borrower. Each Lender is hereby authorized (in accordance with a Borrowing Request relating to a B/A Borrowing) to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Lender; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of B/As required to be accepted and purchased by such Lender. No Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. Each Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (a) received by it in blank hereunder, (b) voided by it for any reason, (c) accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and (d) cancelled at their respective maturities. On request by or on behalf of the Borrower, a Lender shall cancel all forms of B/A which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Borrower and which are held by such Lender and are not required to be issued in accordance with the Borrower's irrevocable notice. Alternatively, the Borrower agrees that, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a "depository note" which complies with the requirements of the *Depository Bills and Notes Act* (Canada), and consents to the deposit of any such depository note in the book-based debt clearance system maintained by the Canadian Depository for Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *B/A Signatory.* Drafts of the Borrower to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall be signed as set out in Section 2.11. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any B/A may no longer be an authorized signatory for any Lender or the Borrower at the date of issuance of a B/A, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such B/A so signed shall be binding on the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *B/A Amounts.* Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request specifying a Borrowing by way of B/As, the Administrative Agent shall so advise the Lenders and shall advise each Lender of the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by it and the applicable Contract Period (which shall be identical for all Lenders). In the case of B/A Borrowings under the Revolving Credit, the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by the Lenders shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of Cdn.$1,000,000 and shall be a whole multiple of Cdn.$100,000, and such face amount shall be in the Revolving Credit Lenders' pro rata portions of such Borrowing, provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, increase or reduce any Revolving Credit Lender's portion of such B/A Borrowing to the nearest Cdn.$1,000 without reducing the overall Revolving Credit Commitments. In the case of B/A Borrowings under the Term Credit, the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by the Term Credit Lenders shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of Cdn.$1,000,000 and shall be a whole multiple of Cdn.$100,000, and such face amount shall be in the Term Credit Lenders' pro rata portions of such Borrowing, provided that the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion increase or reduce any Term Credit Lender's portion of such B/A Borrowing to the nearest Cdn.$1,000 without reducing the overall Term Credit Commitments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) *Acceptance of B/A.* Upon acceptance of a B/A by a Lender, such Lender shall purchase, or arrange for the purchase of, each B/A from the Borrower at the Discount Rate for such Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds therefor for the account of the Borrower. The Acceptance Fee payable by the Borrower to a Lender under Section 2.5 in respect of each B/A accepted by such Lender shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable by such Lender under Section 2.11.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) *Lender's Rights Re B/A.* Each Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all B/As accepted and purchased by it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) *B/A Equivalent Loans.* If a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it is unable or unwilling to accept Bankers' Acceptances, such Lender shall, instead of accepting and purchasing Bankers' Acceptances, make a Loan (a "**B/A Equivalent Loan**") to the Borrower in the amount and for the same term as the draft which such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds of such B/A Equivalent Loan for the account of the Borrower. Each such B/A Equivalent Loan shall bear interest at the same rate which would result if such Lender had accepted (and been paid an Acceptance Fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis) a Bankers' Acceptance for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such B/A Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the Lenders and the Borrower as the Bankers' Acceptance which such B/A Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such B/A Equivalent Loan is made, and shall be deducted from the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Loan in the same manner in which the Discount Proceeds of a Bankers' Acceptance would be deducted from the face amount of the Bankers' Acceptance. Subject to repayment requirements, on the last day of the relevant Contract Period for such B/A Equivalent Loan, the Borrower shall be entitled to convert each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another type of Loan, or to roll over each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another B/A Equivalent Loan, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) *Notice of Intention to Issue B/As.* With respect to each B/A Borrowing, at or before 12:00 noon one Business Day before the last day of the Contract Period of such B/A Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by irrevocable telephone or e-mail notice, followed by a Borrowing Request as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter giving notice of rollover, if the Borrower intends to issue B/As on such last day of the Contract Period to provide for the payment of such maturing B/A Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to notify the Administrative Agent of its intention to issue B/As on such last day of the Contract Period, the Borrower shall provide payment to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such B/A Borrowing on the last day of the Contract Period of thereof. If the Borrower fails to make such payment, such maturing B/As shall be deemed to have been converted on the last day of the Contract Period into a Canadian Prime Loan in an amount equal to the face amount of such B/As.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(10) *Upon Maturity of B/As.* The Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defence to payment of any amounts due to a Lender in respect of a B/A accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of such B/A being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Lender in its own right, and the Borrower shall not claim any days of grace if such Lender, as holder, sues the Borrower on the B/A for payment of the amount payable by the Borrower thereunder. On the last day of the Contract Period of a B/A, or such earlier date as may be required or permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay the Lender that has accepted and purchased such B/A the full face amount of such B/A and, after such payment, the Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(11) *Participation.* If a Lender grants a participation in a portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Participant under Section 9.4(5), then, in respect of any B/A Borrowing, a portion thereof may, at the option of such Lender, be by way of Bankers' Acceptance accepted by such Participant. In such event, the Borrower shall upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Lender granting the participation execute and deliver a form of Bankers' Acceptance undertaking in favour of such Participant for delivery to such participant.

2.12 Alternative Rate of Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) ***Temporary Unavailability of Term SOFR****.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to Section 2.12(2), if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan,
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Adjusted Term
SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, then the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower
and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and
any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the
affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i)
the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected
SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request
for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will
be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.14 herein.
Subject to Section 2.12(2), if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error) that "Adjusted Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate
on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of "Base Rate"
until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) ***Term SOFR Fallback***

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Benchmark Replacement*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,
if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark,
then (i) 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 Loan
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 Loan Document and (ii) 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 Loan 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 Lenders without
any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis. A Hedge Arrangement shall
be deemed not to be a "Loan Document" for the purposes of this Section 2.12(2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Conforming Changes*. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a
Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective
without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations*. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify
the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes
in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify
the Borrower of (i) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.12(2)(d) and (ii) the commencement
of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable,
any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.12(2), 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 its or their sole discretion and without consent
from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section
2.12(2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any
other Loan 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 Administrative Agent in its 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Benchmark Unavailability Period*. Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement
of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed
to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability
Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the
then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Defined Terms*. As used in this Section 2.12(2) or otherwise with respect to Term SOFR Reference
Rate:

"**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, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of "Interest Period" pursuant to Section 2.12(2)(d).

"**Benchmark**" means, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; <u>provided</u> that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 2.12(2)(a).

"**Benchmark Replacement**" means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism 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 to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities 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 Loan Documents.

"**Benchmark Replacement Adjustment**" means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted 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 Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) 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 (b) 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 at such time.

"**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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the later
of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the 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); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) 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; <u>provided</u> 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) 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) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all
Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; <u>provided</u> 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of
such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with
jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) 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; <u>provided</u> 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of
such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or
such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a "Benchmark Transition Event" will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"**Benchmark Unavailability Period**" means, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.12(2) and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.12(2).

"**Conforming Changes**" means, with respect to either the use or administration of Term SOFR or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of "Base Rate," the definition of "Business Day," the definition of "U.S. Government Securities 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, the applicability of breakage provisions and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of any such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of any such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

"**Daily Simple SOFR**" means, for any day, SOFR, with the conventions for this rate (which will include a lookback) being established by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining "Daily Simple SOFR" for syndicated business loans; provided that if the Administrative Agent decides that any such convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion.

"**Relevant Governmental Body**" means the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

"**Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement**" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) ***CDOR Fallback.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Replacing CDOR*. On May 16, 2022, RBSL, the administrator of the CDOR Rate, announced in a public
statement that the calculation and publication of all tenors of the CDOR Rate will permanently cease immediately following a final publication
on Friday, June 28, 2024. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, on the date that all Available
Tenors of the CDOR Rate have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by RBSL (the "**CDOR Cessation Date** "),
if the then-current Benchmark is the CDOR Rate, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under
any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further
action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Compounded CORRA,
all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis. A Hedge Arrangement shall be deemed not to be a "Loan Document"
for the purposes of this Section 2.12(3).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Replacing Future Benchmarks*. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark
Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark
setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided
to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document
so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders
comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased
to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the administrator or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator
of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and
economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke
any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by
reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower's receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has
replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing
of or conversion to Canadian Prime Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of the Canadian Prime
Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of the Canadian Prime Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes*. In connection with the implementation and administration
of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent 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 Loan 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 Loan
Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Notices*; *Standards for Decisions and Determinations*. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) any occurrence of a Term CORRA Transition
Event, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, and (iv) by delivering a BA Cessation Notice pursuant
to clause (g) of this Section, its intention to terminate the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Bankers' Acceptances.
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders)
pursuant to this Section 2.12(3), 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, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12(3).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark*. At any time (including in connection with the implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement), if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term CORRA or the CDOR Rate), then (i) the Administrative
Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement)
settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement)
settings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Secondary Term CORRA Conversion*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Loan
Document and subject to the proviso below in this clause, if a Term CORRA Transition Event and its related Term CORRA Transition Date
have occurred, then on and after such Term CORRA Transition Date (i) the Benchmark Replacement described in clause (a)(i) of such definition
will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark
on such day and all subsequent settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document; and (ii) each Loan outstanding on the Term CORRA Transition Date bearing interest based on the then-current
Benchmark shall convert, on the last day of the then-current interest payment period, into a Loan bearing interest at the Benchmark Replacement
described in clause (a)(i) of such definition having a tenor approximately the same length as the interest payment period applicable to
such Loan immediately prior to the conversion or such other Available Tenor as may be selected by the Borrower and agreed by the Administrative
Agent; provided that, this clause (f) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower
a Term CORRA Notice, and so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth (5th) Business
Day after the date of the Term CORRA Notice, written notice of objection to such conversion to Term CORRA from Lenders comprising the
Required Lenders or the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) *Bankers' Acceptances*. The Administrative Agent shall have the option to, effective as of
the date set out in the BA Cessation Notice, which shall be a date on or after the CDOR Cessation Date (the "**BA Cessation Effective Date** "), terminate the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Bankers' Acceptances, provided that the Administrative
Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and the Lenders at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the BA Cessation Effective Date ()"**BA Cessation Notice** "). If the BA Cessation Notice is provided, then as of the BA Cessation Effective Date, so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of the BA Cessation Notice, written
notice of objection to the termination of the obligation to make or maintain Bankers' Acceptances from Lenders comprising the Required
Lenders, (i) any Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or rollover of any Loans as, a Bankers' Acceptance
shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Bankers' Acceptance such Loan shall be made as a CORRA Loan of
the same tenor. For the avoidance of doubt, any outstanding Bankers' Acceptance shall remain in effect following the CDOR Cessation
Date until such Bankers' Acceptance's stated maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) *Definitions.* As used in this Section 2.12(3) or otherwise with respect to the CDOR Rate:

"**Available Tenor**" means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable, or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

"**Benchmark**" means, initially, the CDOR Rate; provided that if a replacement of the Benchmark has occurred pursuant to Section 2.12(3)(a), then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate. Any reference to "Benchmark" shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

"**Benchmark Replacement**" means, for any Available Tenor:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) for purposes of Section 2.12(3)(a), the first alternative set forth below that can be determined by the
Administrative Agent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the sum of: (x) Term CORRA and (y) 0.29547% (29.547 basis points) for an Available Tenor of one-month's
duration, and 0.32138% (32.138 basis points) for an Available Tenor of three months' duration, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the sum of: (x) Daily Compounded CORRA and (y) 0.29547% (29.547 basis points) for an Available Tenor of
one-month's duration, and 0.32138% (32.138 basis points) for an Available Tenor of three-months' duration; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) for purposes of Section 2.12(3)(b), the sum of (x) the alternate benchmark rate and (y) an adjustment
(which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
as the replacement for such Available Tenor of such Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention,
including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for Canadian dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities
at such time;

<u>provided</u> that, 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 Loan Documents.

"**Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes**" means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of "Canadian Prime Rate," the definition of "Business Day," the definition of "Interest Period", the definition of "Contract Period", the definition of "Bankers' Acceptance,", the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, the timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters, (including with respect to the obligation of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to create, maintain or issue Bankers' Acceptances)) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). Without limiting the foregoing, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes made in connection with the replacement of the CDOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement may include the implementation of mechanics for borrowing loans that bear interest by reference to the Benchmark Replacement, to replace the creation or purchase of drafts or Bankers' Acceptances.

"**Benchmark Transition Event**" means, with respect to any then-current Benchmark other than the CDOR Rate, the occurrence of a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the then-current Benchmark, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark, the Bank of Canada, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark, announcing or stating that (a) such administrator has ceased or will cease on a specified date to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark, 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 (b) all Available Tenors of such Benchmark are or will no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored.

"**CORRA**" means the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average administered and published by the Bank of Canada (or any successor administrator).

"**Daily Compounded CORRA**" means, for any day, CORRA with interest accruing on a compounded daily basis, with the methodology and conventions for this rate (which will include compounding in arrears with a lookback) being established by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the methodology and conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining compounded CORRA for business loans; provided that if the Administrative Agent decides that any such convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion; and provided that if the administrator has not provided or published CORRA and a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to CORRA has not occurred, then, in respect of any day for which CORRA is required, references to CORRA will be deemed to be references to the last provided or published CORRA.

"**Relevant Governmental Body**" means the Bank of Canada, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Bank of Canada, or any successor thereto.

"**Term CORRA**" means, for the applicable corresponding tenor, the forward-looking term rate based on CORRA that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body, and that is published by an authorized benchmark administrator and is displayed on a screen or other information service, as identified or selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion at approximately a time and as of a date prior to the commencement of an Interest Period determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion in a manner substantially consistent with market practice.

"**Term CORRA Notice**" means the notification by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and the Borrower of the occurrence of a Term CORRA Transition Event.

"**Term CORRA Transition Date**" means, in the case of a Term CORRA Transition Event, the date that is set forth in the Term CORRA Notice provided to the Lenders and the Borrower, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the Benchmark Replacement described in clause (a) of such definition, which date shall be at least thirty (30) Business Days from the date of the Term CORRA Notice.

"**Term CORRA Transition Event**" means the determination by the Administrative Agent that (a) Term CORRA has been recommended for use by the Relevant Governmental Body, and is determinable for any Available Tenor, (b) the administration of Term CORRA is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent and (c) a Benchmark Replacement, other than Term CORRA, has replaced the CDOR Rate in accordance with Section 2.12(3)(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Pricing Disconnect.* If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a SOFR Borrowing or the commencement of any Contract Period for a B/A Borrowing the Administrative Agent is advised by a Lender that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
its SOFR Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Discount Rate for such Contract Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of issuing or maintaining
its B/As included in such Borrowing for such Contract Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or rollover of any Borrowing as, a SOFR Borrowing or B/A Borrowing, as applicable, shall with regard to such Lender be ineffective, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a SOFR Borrowing or B/A Borrowing, as applicable, such Lender shall make Borrowing as a Base Rate Borrowing or Canadian Prime Borrowing, as applicable; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for SOFR Borrowings or B/A Borrowings, as applicable, may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby.

2.13 Increased Costs; Illegality.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Compensation for Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this
Agreement, including the imposition on any Lender of, or any change to, any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes to which Section 2.15
applies, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, or (C) Connection Income Taxes)
or other charge with respect to its Loans or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or its obligation to make Loans or issue or
participate in any Letter of Credit,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Compensation for Reduced Rate of Return.* If any Lender or Issuing Bank 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 or such Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company or such Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, and Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States, Canadian or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (b) the *Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act* (United States) and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a Change in Law for purposes of this Section 2.13(2) regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Certificate.* A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in Sections 2.13(1) or (2), together with a brief description of the Change in Law, shall be delivered to the Borrower by such Lender, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In preparing any such certificate, a Lender shall be entitled to use averages and to make reasonable estimates, and shall not be required to "match contracts" or to isolate particular transactions. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Notification for Compensation.* Each Lender shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to notify the Borrower if it reasonably believes that it may require compensation from the Borrower under Section 2.13; provided that failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; and provided further that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose more than 90 days prior to the date of such demand or is attributable to periods more than 90 days prior to the date of such demand except where the Change in Law in question had retroactive effect extending prior to such times. No Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.13 unless such Lender is generally making corresponding demands on similar types of borrowers for similar amounts pursuant to similar provisions in other loan documents to which such Lender is a party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *Illegality.* If any Lender determines that it is unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Loan (or to maintain its obligation to make any Loan), or to participate in, issue or maintain any Letter of Credit (or to maintain its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any particular rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. For the avoidance of doubt, such suspension shall occur notwithstanding that the activity in question was unlawful on the Second Restatement Date. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay (or, if conversion would avoid the activity that is unlawful, convert) any Loans, or take any necessary steps with respect to any Letter of Credit in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

2.14 Break Funding Payments.

In the event of (a) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant hereto, (b) the payment or conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (c) the assignment of any Loan (including the assignment of any SOFR Loan) other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a SOFR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at SOFR, plus the Applicable Margin that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period and the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower by such Lender and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

2.15 Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Defined Terms*. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term "applicable Law" includes FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Gross-up for Indemnified Taxes.* Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by applicable Laws; provided that if any Credit Party shall be required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (a) in the case of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15), the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made, (b) the applicable Credit Party shall make such required deduction or withholding, and (c) the applicable Credit Party shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount deducted or withheld in accordance with, and within the time limits prescribed by, applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Stamp and Other Taxes.* Without limiting the provisions of Section2.15(2), the Borrower shall pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Indemnity for Taxes.* The Borrower and other Credit Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower and other Credit Parties hereunder or under any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Section 2.15) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *Evidence of Tax Payments.* As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes described in Sections 2.15(2) or (4) by a Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the applicable Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) *Status of Recipients.* Each Recipient, shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law, or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Recipient to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Recipient under the Loan Documents (including any documentation necessary to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, any Taxes that may be imposed under FATCA). Each Recipient shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. In addition, each recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than any documentation required or requested pursuant to Section 2.15(7)) shall not be required if in the Recipient's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient or would not be permitted by applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) *FATCA Documentation*. If a payment made to any Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law, and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) Each party's obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive any assignment of rights by or the replacement of a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the obligations under any Loan Document.

2.16 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Payments.* The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, amounts payable under any indemnity contained herein, or otherwise hereunder) prior to 12:00 noon, 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 Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.10(2)(b), 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension; **<u>provided that</u>**, in the case of any payment with respect to a SOFR Loan, the date for payment shall be advanced to the next preceding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day is in a subsequent calendar month. All payments under Section 2.16 in respect of SOFR Loans and Base Rate Loans and in respect of U.S. Dollar denominated Letters of Credit shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All other payments under Section 2.16 shall be made in Canadian Dollars. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to debit the primary operating bank account of the Borrower in the applicable currency which is maintained with the Administrative Agent to effect any payment due to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Any resulting overdraft in such account shall be payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in same day funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Allocation of Insufficient Funds.* If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (a) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, rateably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (b) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, rateably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Allocation of Funds in Event of Default.* If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the maturity of the Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.1, all payments or proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document in respect of any of the Secured Liabilities (including, but not limited to, Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedge Obligations that are owing to any Secured Cash Management Provider or Secured Hedge Counterparty, as applicable), including, but not limited to all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon, any assets, property or undertaking of a Credit Party, shall be applied as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of such sale, collection or
other realization, including reasonable and documented compensation to the Administrative Agent and its agents and outside counsel, and
all other reasonable and documented expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith,
and all amounts for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in its capacity
as Administrative Agent and not as a Lender), and to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses paid or incurred
by the Administrative Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, all in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) second, to the extent of any excess of such payments or proceeds, to the rateable payment of any accrued
interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) third, to the extent of any excess of such payments or proceeds, to the rateable payment of the Loans,
Cover for Letters of Credit, Secured Hedge Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) fourth, to the extent of any excess of such payments or proceeds, to the payment of any other amount due
but unpaid under the Loan Documents; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) fifth, to the extent of any excess of such payments or proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of
the Borrower or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall payments or proceeds received by the Administrative Agent from a Guarantor or in respect of its assets, property or undertaking be applied against Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Sharing of Set-Offs.* If any Secured Party shall obtain payment in respect of any of its Secured Liabilities (including by way of set-off or counterclaim) resulting in such Secured Party receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Secured Liabilities than the proportion received by any other Secured Party on its Secured Liabilities, then the Secured Party receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Secured Liabilities owed to other Secured Parties (as applicable) to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Secured Parties rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of their respective Secured Liabilities; provided that (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) this Section 2.16(4) shall not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of a participation in,
any of its Loans (including participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any payment made by the Borrower under or in connection with any Secured Cash Management Services when
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) netting as between bank accounts maintained by a Lender and/or its Lender Affiliates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) netting under or as between Secured Hedge Arrangements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) any Permitted Hedge Payment.

The Borrower hereby consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *Assumption of Payment; Reimbursement of Agent.* Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or each of the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the applicable rate for Canadian Prime Loans (if such amount is denominated in Canadian Dollars) or the applicable rate for Base Rate Loans (if such amount is denominated in U.S. Dollars).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) *Failure of Lender to Make Payment.* If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.16(5), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Section 2.16(5) until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) *No Deemed Obligation for Source of Funds.* Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.17 Currency Indemnity.

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

2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Mitigation.* If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Lender Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Replacement of Lender.* If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense (including the processing and recording fee contemplated by Section 9.4(2), as applicable) and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) if such assignee is not otherwise a Lender, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.19 Letters of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *General*. Subject to the terms and conditions set out herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit as an availment of the Revolving Credit Commitment, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time up to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern. The amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; <u>provided that</u>, with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Application with respect thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *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 hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least three Business Days 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, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.19(2)) the amount and currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by an Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit such Issuing Bank's standard form of Letter of Credit Application in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. 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, (a) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed Cdn.$[*Redacted – Commercially Sensitive Information*], and (b) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an "<u>Auto-Extension Letter of Credit</u>"); <u>provided that</u> any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time in accordance with its terms; <u>provided that</u> the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if the Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Expiration Date*. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business the date that is ten years after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit; <u>provided that,</u> (i) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue a Letter of Credit having a tenor of more than one year, and (ii) no later than 3 month's prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Cover must be provided for any Letter of Credit that expires after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. If on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Rule 3.14 of the ISP, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be "outstanding" in the amount so remaining available to be drawn. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be extended pursuant to Section 2.6(3), "Revolving Credit Maturity Date" as referenced in this clause (3) shall refer to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as extended pursuant to Section 2.6(3); <u>provided</u> that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including Section 2.6(3) hereof) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, as such term is used in reference to the Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit issued thereby, may not be extended without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *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 the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.19(5), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.19(4) 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 reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever; <u>provided that</u> no Revolving Credit Lender shall be required to acquire any participation or make any payment under this Section 2.19(4) where Cover has been delivered pursuant to Section 2.19(3).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *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 12:00 noon on the next Business Day following the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement; **<u>provided that</u>** the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set out herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 that such payment be financed with a Canadian Prime Borrowing, a Base Rate Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing in an equivalent amount 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, Base Rate Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19(5), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.19(5) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19(5) to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Canadian Prime Borrowings, Base Rate Borrowings, or Swingline Borrowings as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) *Obligations Absolute*. The Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.19(5) 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 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (b) 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, (c) payment by an Issuing Bank 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 (d) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of Section 2.19, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders nor an Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, 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 any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of an Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive or consequential 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 such Issuing Bank's 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 wilful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Borrower and the Lenders 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 applicable Issuing Bank 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and no Issuing Bank's rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit that is consistent with the ISP or UCP and the practices set out therein, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not the ISP or UCP applies to such Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) *Disbursement Procedures*. An Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. An Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will/will not make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) *Interim Interest*. If an 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 then applicable to Canadian Prime Loans (if in Canadian Dollars) or Base Rate Loans (if in U.S. Dollars). Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.19(8) shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(5) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Credit Lender to the extent of such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) *Replacement of an Issuing Bank*. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (a) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter, and (b) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced 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 Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(10) *Cash Collateralization*. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that 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 greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of Cover, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral 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 with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.1(g), 7.1(h), or 7.1(i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. 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 such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have 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 of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or the total LC Exposure is reduced to nil.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(11) *Existing Letters of Credit*. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued hereunder, such that they constitute Letters of Credit in all respects and, from and after the First Restatement Date, be subject to the fees set in Section 2.10(2). Any fees earned with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit for any period prior to the Original Closing Date shall be for the exclusive account of the applicable Issuing Bank. Any fees received by an Issuing Bank prior to the Original Closing Date with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit for any period from and after the Original Closing Date shall be applied against the fees set out in Section 2.10(2) and shared among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance therewith. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be determined with reference to the FX Rate as set out in Schedule 1.1 while such Existing Letter of Credit is outstanding.

2.20 Swingline Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *General.* Subject to the terms and conditions set out herein and as part of its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Swingline Lender commits to make Loans (each such Loan made under this Section 2.20, a "**Swingline Loan**") to the Borrower from time to time during the period commencing on the Second Restatement Date and ending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (such commitment being the "**Swingline Commitment**"), in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding up to Cdn.$[*Redacted – Commercially Sensitive Information*]; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to extend further credit hereunder if such extension would result in (a) the Swingline Exposure at such time exceeding the amount of the Swingline Commitment, (b) the aggregate of the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Credit Commitments, or (c) a Swingline Loan refinancing an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set out herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Interest; Overdrafts.* Subject to the terms and conditions set out herein, the Borrower shall be entitled to obtain Swingline Loans by way of overdraft, and at any given time the Canadian $ Amount of the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall be equal to the aggregate amount by which the Swingline Accounts are overdrawn. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to a Canadian Prime Borrowing (if in Canadian Dollars) or at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to a Base Rate Loan (if in U.S. Dollars). Interest shall be payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swingline Lender and in any event on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for such interest. The interest payable on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Reallocation*. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Swingline Exposure shall be adjusted as necessary so as to cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of each Revolving Credit Lender to equal its Applicable Percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders. Such adjustment shall be effected by either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Swingline Lender making Swingline Loans in the requisite amount(s) and advancing the proceeds thereof
to other Revolving Credit Lenders in repayment of their Revolving Loans; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Revolving Credit Lenders other than the Swingline Lender making Revolving Loans in the requisite amounts(s)
and advancing the proceeds thereof to the Swingline Lender in repayment of Swingline Loans,

and the Borrower irrevocably authorizes and directs such Borrowings to be automatically made and the proceeds thereof so applied. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.20(3) shall not serve to increase the aggregate amount of Loans owing by the Borrower.

2.21 Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply to such Lender for so long as it remains a Defaulting Lender:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) fees shall cease to accrue pursuant to Section 2.10(1) on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Credit Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included
in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment
or waiver pursuant to Section 9.2); provided that any waiver or amendment which:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) increases the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender or the term of Loans made by it thereunder, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) affects such Defaulting Lender adversely relative to the other Lenders;

shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any amount owing by a Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or another Lender that is not paid
when due shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable to Canadian Prime Loans or Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit, as
applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees
or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender other than in respect of the assignment
of such Defaulting Lender's Loans and Commitments) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by
the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times
as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or Swingline
Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof
as required by this Agreement, (iv) fourth, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender
under this Agreement (the amount of such cash collateral not to exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender minus
the outstanding principal amount of such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Loans), (v) fifth, to the payment of any other amounts owing
to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender hereunder, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of
such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (vii) seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise
directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement
obligations in respect of Letters of Credit with respect to which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations, such payment
shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders pro rata
prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) if a Defaulting Lender is an Insolvent Defaulting Lender, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender
hereunder may, in lieu of being distributed pursuant to Section 2.21(d), be retained by the Administrative Agent to collateralize
indemnification and reimbursement obligations of such Defaulting Lender hereunder in an amount determined by the Administrative Agent,
acting reasonably;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) all or any part of the pro rata share of such Defaulting Lender in respect of the outstanding Letters
of Credit shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders which are not Defaulting Lenders (in this Section 2.21, "**Non-Defaulting Lenders**") in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, provided that any such reallocation shall not cause
any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower
shall within five (5) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks
the Borrower's obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's pro rata share of the outstanding Letters of Credit (after
giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above), for so long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) upon any reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above, the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section
2.10(2) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders' Revolving Credit Commitment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's pro rata share of the outstanding Letters of Credit
is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other
Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.10(2) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's pro rata share of the outstanding
Letters of Credit shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend
or increase any Letter of Credit, unless they are satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender's then outstanding
pro rata share of the outstanding Letters of Credit will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders
and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(f)(ii), and participating interests in any newly
issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(f) (and
such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) If the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Banks each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has
adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders
shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Credit Lender's Commitment and on such date such Revolving Credit
Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Swingline Loans) as the Administrative
Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Credit Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving
Credit Commitment.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.21, no Revolving Credit Commitment of any other Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and performance by a Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.21 are in addition to other rights and remedies which a Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender as a result of it becoming a Defaulting Lender and which the Administrative Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect thereto.

2.22 Sustainability Adjustment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Applicable Margin will be increased or decreased (if applicable) by the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment as in effect from time to time. For the purposes of the foregoing, commencing with the Sustainability Certificate to be delivered for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2021:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be effective on the earlier of the third Business
Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Sustainability Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 5.1(1)(k) or, if
the Borrower does not deliver a Sustainability Certificate as contemplated by Section 5.1(1)(k), the third Business Day following the
last day on which the Sustainability Certificate was required to be delivered (such day, the "**Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be based upon the SPT Metrics set forth in the Sustainability
Certificate and the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment calculations therein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a Sustainability Certificate shall be effective during
the period commencing on, and including, the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding
the next such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) if an Event of Default has occurred that is continuing, Section (1) shall not apply to effect a reduction
of the Applicable Margin.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If, for any reason (subject to the proviso below) the Borrower fails to deliver a Sustainability Certificate in accordance with Section 5.1(1)(k) for any Fiscal Year, the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment for such Fiscal Year shall be calculated based on Level II for the Absolute GHG Emissions SPT Metric and Level V for the Bloomberg Gender-Equity Index SPT Metric until the delivery of such Sustainability Certificate; provided that, if the Borrower determines in good faith that it is not possible to calculate an SPT Metric for any Fiscal Year for whatever reason (the "**Specified SPT Metric**"), the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents and the Borrower will negotiate in good faith to agree on the selection of an alternative measure that is customarily applied by Persons carrying out similar businesses to the business of the Borrower (as at the Second Restatement Date) or being subject to similar incentives in lieu of the Specified SPT Metric (the "**Alternative SPT Metric**") and, if after 20 Business Days from the day on which the Borrower was originally due to deliver a Sustainability Certificate in accordance with Section 5.1(1)(k):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents (with the consent of the Required Lenders) agree
on the selection of an Alternative SPT Metric, then the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be calculated based on such
Alternative SPT Metric and the other SPT Metrics, excluding the Specified SPT Metric; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents do not agree on the selection of an Alternative
SPT Metric or the Required Lenders do not consent to the Alternative SPT Metric, then the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment
shall be calculated based on the SPT Metrics, excluding the Specified SPT Metric,

and the Borrower shall deliver a Sustainability Certificate containing the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment calculated on the basis of either (a) or (b) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries completes a Material Acquisition or a Material Disposition, then the Borrower shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents. Thereafter, within the twelve (12) month period following the closing of such Material Acquisition or a Material Disposition, as the case may be (the "**SPT Metric Adjustment Period**"), the Borrower or the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents may notify the other party that it wishes to negotiate an alternative Absolute GHG Emissions SPT Metric or an alternative Bloomberg Gender-Equity Index SPT Metric. If the Borrower or the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents so notifies the other party, then, during the SPT Metric Adjustment Period, the Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents shall negotiate in good faith to agree on the selection of an alternative Absolute GHG Emissions SPT Metric or an alternative Bloomberg Gender-Equity Index SPT Metric (as applicable) which shall reflect such Material Acquisition or a Material Disposition, as the case may be, and the resulting new business circumstances of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. If within the SPT Metric Adjustment Period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents (with the consent of the Required Lenders) agree
on the selection of each such alternative SPT Metric, then the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be calculated based on
such alternative SPT Metric(s) and the unaffected SPT Metric(s); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents do not agree on the selection of any such alternative
SPT Metric or the Required Lenders do not consent to the alternative SPT Metric, then the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment
shall be calculated based on the SPT Metrics (including any alternative SPT Metric agreed in paragraph (a) above), excluding the SPT Metric
upon which no agreement for an alternative SPT Metric was reached.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) If (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent become aware of any material inaccuracy in the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the SPT Metrics as reported on any Sustainability Certificate, or (ii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree that the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or SPT Metrics as calculated by the Borrower at the time of delivery of any Sustainability Certificate was inaccurate and, in each case, (x) a proper calculation of the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the SPT Metrics would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Margin for the applicable period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period, or (y) a proper calculation of the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the SPT Metrics would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Margin for such period, then, the Borrower shall receive a credit against subsequent interest payable on the Loans or fees payable pursuant to Section 2.5, in an amount equal to the excess amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period and, commencing on the 10<sup>th</sup> Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the applicable corrections to the calculation of the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or SPT Metrics, as the case may be, the Applicable Margin shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or SPT Metrics, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) In connection with any Extension Request delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(3) hereof, the Borrower shall provide notice to the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents of the proposed "Target" and "Adjustment to the Applicable Margin" for purposes of the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment (the "**Additional Margin Adjustment**") to be in effect for each of the SPT Metrics for any additional Fiscal Year not otherwise provided for in the definition of Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment. The Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents shall negotiate in good faith to agree on the selection of such Additional Margin Adjustment. If within 30 days following such notification:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents (with the consent of the Required Lenders) agree
on the selection of the Additional Margin Adjustment, then the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be calculated accordingly
and the definition of Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be deemed amended without any further action by any Person; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents do not agree on the selection of the Additional
Margin Adjustment or the Required Lenders do not consent to the Additional Margin Adjustment, then no change shall be made to the definition
of Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment and Sections 2.22 and 5.1(1)(k) hereof shall not apply to the Borrower in respect of any
Fiscal Year that is not included in the definition of Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) If, at any time, the Science Based Targets initiative validation process results in a change to the annual Absolute GHG Emissions targets which differ from those set out in this Agreement, then, within 30 days following such change, the Borrower shall provide notice to the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents of such change. The Borrower and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents shall then negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to reflect such change.

**Article 3<br> REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES**

In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, to make any Loans hereunder and to issue any Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that each statement set forth in this Article 3 is true and correct on the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, such representations are repeated as required by Section 4.2(a), subject to update as provided in Section 5.1(1)(h), and shall survive until the Lender Termination Date.

Each Group Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now and formerly conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Authorization; Enforceability*. The Transactions are within the Group Parties' corporate or partnership powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partner and shareholder action, as applicable. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by each Group Party which is a party thereto and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each such Group Party, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Governmental Approvals; Conflicts*. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(3), (b) will not violate any applicable Law or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Group Party or their respective assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Group Party, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Group Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *No Conflicts.* The Transactions do not violate the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of any Group Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) [Intentionally deleted.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Borrower has publicly released the Consolidated balance sheets and statements of income, retained
earnings and changes in financial position of the Borrower as of and for the Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2021, reported on by its
auditors, certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such financial statements, and any subsequent financial statements delivered
pursuant to Section 5.1(1), present fairly, in all material respects, the Consolidated financial position and results of operations and

subject to year-end audit adjustments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Since the date of the most recent audited financial statements of the Borrower, there has been no event,
development or circumstance that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) All information (including that disclosed in all financial statements) pertaining to the Group Parties
(other than projections) that has been made available to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger by the Borrower or
any representative of the Group Parties, taken as a whole, was when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and did not,
when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements

been or will be made available to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger by the Borrower or any representative of
the Borrower have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time, it being recognized
by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger that such projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results
during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ significantly from the projected results, and that no assurance
can be given that projected results will be realized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [Intentionally deleted.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) *Litigation*.

with in Section 3.1(17)), there are no actions, suits or proceedings (including any Tax-related matter) by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting any of the Group Parties
(i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably
be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than as described in Schedule 3.1(17)), or
(ii) that involve this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the matters described in Schedule
3.1(17) that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) *Compliance with Laws*. Each Group Party is in compliance with all Laws applicable to it or its property except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Group Party has violated or failed to obtain any Authorization necessary to the ownership of any of its property or assets or the conduct of its business, which violation or failure could reasonably be expected to have (in the event that such a violation or failure were asserted by any Person through appropriate action) a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) *Compliance with Agreements*. No Group Party is in default, nor has any event or circumstance occurred which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default (in any respect that would have a Material Adverse Effect), under (a) any loan or credit agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other instrument or agreement evidencing or pertaining to any Indebtedness of any Group Party, or (b) under any other agreement or instrument to which a Group Party is a party or by which any Group Party is bound.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(11) *Titles to Real Property*. The Group Parties have indefeasible fee simple title to their respective owned real properties having a book value in excess of Cdn$1,000,000, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens.

Tax Act and applicable pension standards legislation and has been administered in accordance with applicable Law and the terms of such
plan; (ii) all obligations of each Group Party (including funding, investment and administration obligations) required to be performed

report prepared in accordance with that section), (iii) no changes have occurred since the date of the most recently filed actuarial valuation
report for the UK Plan or are reasonably expected to occur which would materially adversely affect the conclusion set out in the most
recently filed actuarial valuation report, and (iv) no events have occurred which could reasonably be expected to result in a wind-up

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In respect of each Canadian Pension Plan that is a Canadian Multi-Employer Pension Plan, (i) the plan's
name, registration number and jurisdiction of registration are disclosed on Schedule 3.1(13), and (ii) a copy of any participation agreement

Pension Plan have been properly withheld and remitted to the funding arrangement for the plan in accordance with applicable Law except
where any failure to remit is not material.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Except where the failure to comply has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse

could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or which could not reasonably be expected to result in remedial obligations
having a Material Adverse Effect, assuming disclosure to the applicable Governmental Authority of all relevant facts, conditions and circumstances,
if any, pertaining to the relevant property.

Group Parties by or on behalf of the Group Parties have been treated, transported, stored and disposed of only in accordance with all
Environmental Laws applicable to them, except to the extent the failure to have such Hazardous Materials transported, treated or disposed
of by such carriers could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and only at treatment, storage and disposal facilities
maintaining valid permits under applicable Environmental Laws, which carriers and facilities have been and are operating in compliance
with such permits, except to the extent the failure to have such Hazardous Materials treated, transported, stored or disposed of at such
facilities, or the failure of such carriers or facilities to so operate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
or which could not reasonably be expected to result in remedial obligations having a Material Adverse Effect, assuming disclosure to the

been disposed of or otherwise released and there has been no threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials on or to any property of the
Group Parties other than in compliance with Environmental Laws, except to the extent such Release or Hazardous Materials could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which could not reasonably be expected to result in remedial obligations having a Material
Adverse Effect, assuming disclosure to the applicable Governmental Authority of all relevant facts, conditions and circumstances, if any,
pertaining to the relevant property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Claims.* Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(17), there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending
against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any of the Group Parties pursuant to Environmental Law, as to which there
is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually
or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(18) *Employee Matters.* Except as set out in Schedule 3.1(18), none of the Group Parties, nor any of their respective employees, is subject to any collective bargaining agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(23) *"Know Your Customer" Information*. All materials and information provided to each of the Lenders in connection with applicable "know your customer" and AML Legislation are true and correct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(24) *Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions*. Each Group Party has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by such Group Party and its directors, officers, employees and Relevant Agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. Each Group Party and, to the knowledge of the Group Parties, its directors, officers, employees and Relevant Agents is in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. No Group Party or, to the knowledge of any Group Party, any of its directors, officers or employees or Relevant Agents is a Sanctioned Person or is engaged in any activity that would reasonably be expected to result in such Group Party being designated as a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing or Letter of Credit, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or Sanctions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(25) *Investment and Holding Company Status*. Neither the Borrower nor any Group Party is an "investment company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the *Investment Company Act of 1940*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(26) *Compliance with ERISA*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each US Plan is in compliance in form and operation with its terms and with ERISA and the Code (including
without limitation the Code provisions compliance with which is necessary for any intended favorable tax treatment) and all other applicable
laws and regulations, except where any failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each US Plan
(and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received an individual favorable
determination letter from the IRS to the effect that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code covering all
applicable tax law changes or is comprised of a pre-approved plan that has received a national office opinion letter from the IRS, and,
nothing has occurred since the date of such determination that would adversely affect such determination (or, in the case of a US Plan
with no individual favourable determination letter, nothing has occurred that would preclude reliance on a national office opinion letter
or otherwise materially adversely affect such qualification). No ERISA Event has occurred other than as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) There exists no Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to US Plans in the aggregate (taking into account
only Plans with positive Unfunded Pension Liability) in excess of Cdn.$20,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) There are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a US Plan (other than routine claims
for benefits) or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party or any ERISA Affiliate, threatened, which would reasonably be expected to be asserted
successfully against any US Plan and, if so asserted successfully, would reasonably be expected either singly or in the aggregate to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Credit Party and each ERISA Affiliate have made all material contributions to or under each US Plan
and Multiemployer Plan required by law within the applicable time limits prescribed thereby, the terms of such US Plan or Multiemployer
Plan, respectively, or any contract or agreement requiring contributions to a US Plan or Multiemployer Plan save where any failure to
comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) No US Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the U.S. Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA has applied
for or received an extension of any amortization period, within the meaning of Section 412 of the U.S. Revenue Code or Section 303 or
304 of ERISA. Each Credit Party, and each ERISA Affiliate have not ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions
of Section 4068(a) of ERISA, withdrawn as a substantial employer so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA or
ceased making contributions to any US Plan subject to Section 4064(a) of ERISA to which it made contributions. No Credit Party and no
ERISA Affiliate has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability to PBGC save for any liability for premiums due in the ordinary
course or other liability which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no lien imposed under the U.S.
Revenue Code or ERISA on the assets of any Credit Party or any ERISA Affiliate exists or is likely to arise on account of any US Plan.
No Credit Party and no ERISA Affiliate has any liability under Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(27) *Margin Stock*. Neither the Borrower nor Group Party is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board), and no proceeds of any Borrowing will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock in contravention of Regulation U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

the Existing Stantec Credit Agreement, (iii) finance the redemption (including any make whole premiums) by the Borrower of the Existing
Notes, (iv) repay Indebtedness of the Initial Target under or in connection with the Existing MWH Credit Agreement, and (v) pay the related

of the Revolving Loans were used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower, including the financing of
Permitted Acquisitions following the First Restatement Date. Following the Second Restatement Date, the proceeds of the Revolving Loans
shall be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower, including the financing of Permitted Acquisitions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) *Further Assurances*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, cure promptly any defects in the execution
and delivery of the Loan Documents, including this Agreement. Upon request, the Borrower shall, at its expense, as promptly as practical,
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, all such other and further documents, agreements and instruments (and cause each other
Credit Party to take such action) in compliance with or performance of the covenants and agreements of the Borrower or any other Credit
Party in any of the Loan Documents, including this Agreement, or to correct any omissions in any of the Loan Documents, or to make any
recordings, to file any notices, or obtain any consents, all as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith, in the judgment
of the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of the other Credit Parties to, perform and satisfy to the satisfaction
of the Administrative Agent and its counsel each of the requirements (the "**Post-Closing Requirements**") listed in Schedule
5.1(8) on or before the date by which such Post-Closing Requirement is to be required to be performed pursuant thereto. For greater certainty,
the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Post-Closing Requirements expressly include the obligation of the Borrower to, and to cause
each of the other Credit Parties to, co-operate fully and promptly with the Administrative Agent and its counsel with respect to the completion
of each of the Post-Closing Requirements and the provision of all information and documents as the Administrative Agent or its counsel,
acting reasonably, may deem necessary or advisable (i) to determine what actions must be taken to fulfil each of the Post-Closing
Requirements, (ii) to complete and fulfil each of the Post-Closing Requirements, and (iii) to confirm and assess whether all
actions necessary to fulfil each of the Post-Closing Requirements have been taken. The Administrative Agent, by instrument in writing
and without any consent from any of the Lenders, may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (A) extend any deadline for completion of a
Post-Closing Requirement if the Administrative Agent, acting in good faith, believes that the extension will enable the Borrower and the
Credit Parties to comply with such Post-Closing Requirement and such extension will not have a material adverse effect upon the Lenders,
and (B) may release the Borrower and the Credit Parties from any Post-Closing Requirement identified on Schedule 5.1(8) if the Administrative
Agent, acting in good faith, believes that the Borrower and the Credit Parties have used reasonable commercial efforts to satisfy such
Post-Closing Requirement but are unable to do so as a result of a lack of any required consent, approval or other agreement from any relevant
third party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) *Insurance*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Group Party to, maintain or cause to be maintained, with
financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and business against such liabilities,
casualties, risks and contingencies and in such types (including business interruption insurance and flood insurance) and amounts and
with deductibles as are customary in the case of Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses and similarly situated and in accordance
with any requirement of any Governmental Authority; <u>provided that</u> the Group Parties may self-insure against such liabilities, casualties,
risks and contingencies in accordance with historical practice and applicable Laws where the Borrower, acting reasonably, determines that
such self-insurance is not inconsistent with prudent risk management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the case of any fire, accident or other casualty causing loss or damage to any property of any Group
Party used in generating cash flow or required by applicable Law, all proceeds of such policies shall be used to either (i) promptly repair
or replace any such damaged property, or (ii) repay Loans in accordance with Section 2.9(2)(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event the Borrower fails to provide the Administrative Agent, upon request, with timely evidence,
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, of the maintenance of insurance coverage required pursuant to Section 5.1(9),
or in the event that any Group Party fails to maintain such insurance, the Administrative Agent may purchase or otherwise arrange for
such insurance, but at the Borrower's expense and without any responsibility on the Administrative Agent's part for: (i) obtaining
the insurance; (ii) the solvency of the insurance companies; (iii) the adequacy of the coverage; or (iv) the collection
of claims. In the event the Administrative Agent purchases, obtains or acquires insurance on behalf of any Group Party, the Borrower shall
be responsible for all of the applicable costs of such insurance, including premiums, interest (at the applicable interest rate for Revolving
Loans set forth in Section 2.5), fees and any other charges with respect thereto, until the effective date of the cancellation or
the expiration of such insurance. The Administrative Agent may charge all of such premiums, fees, costs, interest and other charges to
the Borrower's Revolving Loan account. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the costs of the premiums of any insurance acquired
by the Administrative Agent may exceed the costs of insurance which the Borrower may be able to purchase on its own. In the event that
the Administrative Agent purchases such insurance, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within 15 days, notify the
Borrower of said purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (and without limiting any other rights of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document), (i) the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the rights
of any holders of Permitted Liens holding claims senior to the Administrative Agent, have the sole right, in the name of the Administrative
Agent or any applicable Group Party, to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments
that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents
that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies, and (ii) all
insurance proceeds shall be paid to the Administrative Agent. In such event, the Administrative Agent shall apply such insurance proceeds
to the obligations of the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.9(2)(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(10) *Operation and Maintenance of Property*. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Group Party to, manage and operate its business or cause its business to be managed and operated (a) in accordance with prudent industry practice in all material respects and in compliance in all material respects with the terms and provisions of all applicable licenses, leases, contracts and agreements, and (b) in compliance with all applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which such businesses are carried on, and all applicable Laws of every other Governmental Authority from time to time constituted to regulate the ownership, management and operation of such businesses, except where a failure to so manage and operate would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(11) *Material Subsidiary Guarantee*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Credit Party Guarantee*. The Borrower shall, and shall cause and each present and future Material
Subsidiary to, enter into, or accede to, the Credit Party Guarantee, such that such Person guarantees in favour of the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all Secured Liabilities of other Group Parties. The obligation of a Person to accede to
the Credit Party Guarantee shall arise as soon as reasonably practicable after such Person becomes a Material Subsidiary. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, the Borrower may elect at any time, at its sole discretion, to cause any Non-Credit Party Subsidiary to enter
into, or accede to, the Credit Party Guarantee and to otherwise comply with all other terms and conditions in this Section 5.1(11) applicable
to Credit Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Supporting Materials*. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Party Guarantee
pursuant to Section 5.1(11), the Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant other Credit Party to, deliver to the Administrative Agent
such corporate resolutions, certificates, legal opinions and such other related documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent and consistent with the relevant forms and types thereof delivered on the First Restatement Date or as shall be otherwise reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

If a Subsidiary is no longer a Material Subsidiary and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent shall, at the written request and cost of the Borrower, release such Subsidiary from the Credit Party Guarantee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(12) *Financial Covenants*. The Borrower shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Leverage Ratio*. Maintain at all times a Leverage Ratio not exceeding 3.00 to 1.00; <u>provided that</u>, subject to the next sentence, where the LTM Acquisition Amount with respect to a Rolling Period is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) greater than Cdn.$[ *Redacted – Commercially Sensitive Information* ] and less than Cdn.$[ *Redacted – Commercially Sensitive Information* ], then the Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 with respect to such Rolling Period;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) greater than Cdn.$[ *Redacted – Commercially Sensitive Information* ], then the Leverage Ratio
shall not exceed 4.00 to 1.00 for such Rolling Period.

In the event that the maximum Leverage Ratio for four consecutive Rolling Periods has been determined pursuant to clause (i) and/or (ii) above, then the maximum Leverage Ratio for the next following Rolling Period shall be 3.00 to 1.00 regardless of the LTM Acquisition Amount with respect to such next following Rolling Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Interest Coverage Ratio*. Maintain at all times an Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 3.00
to 1.00.

The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, ensure that each Credit Party (other than the Borrower, Harza International Development Company, LLC and any Stantec Structured Entity that is or becomes a Credit Party) remains a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of another Credit Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(14) *Canadian Pension Plans and Foreign Pension Plans.* The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Group Party to, ensure that each Canadian Pension Plan, and each Foreign Pension Plan, that is sponsored or administered by any Group Party is administered in material compliance with the terms of the applicable plan, the applicable funding agreement and any other documents governing the plan, and applicable Law. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Group Party to, promptly provide the Administrative Agent with any documentation relating to any of the Canadian Pension Plans, or Foreign Pension Plans, that is within the possession or control of the Group Party as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, notify the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days of: (i) any material increase in the obligations or liabilities of any Group Party under any Canadian Pension Plan or (where allowed under the local Laws applicable to the Foreign Pension Plan) Foreign Pension Plan; (ii) any Group Party assuming any obligation to sponsor, administer, participate in or contribute to any Canadian Pension Plan, or Foreign Pension Plan, in respect of which such Group Party did not previously have an obligation to sponsor, administer, participate in or contribute to, as applicable; or (iii) any contribution notice, financial support direction or restoration notice being imposed by the UK Pension Regulator on any Group Party under sections 38 to 51 of the *Pensions Act 2004* (UK).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) [ *Intentionally deleted* ]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) a Material Adverse Change shall occur;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) a Change of Control shall occur; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) if:

then, (A) in every such event other than those described in (B), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event or any other such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (x) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (y) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind except as set out earlier in this paragraph, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower, and (B) in the case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.1(g), (h) or (i), the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, and Cover for any outstanding Letters of Credit, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

**Article 8<br> THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT**

8.1 Appointment of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender hereby designates Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce as Administrative Agent to act as herein specified and as specified in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative 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 by the terms thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.

8.2 Secured Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Credit Party Guarantee shall be in favour of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Secured Hedge Obligations shall rank *pari passu* with the obligations of the Borrower under
this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Secured Cash Management Obligations shall rank *pari passu* with the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding such common security and prior to the Lender Termination Date, all decisions regarding
the administration and enforcement of the Credit Party Guarantee shall be made by the Lenders alone, and no Secured Hedge Counterparty
or Secured Cash Management Provider shall have any voting rights under this Agreement or any other right whatsoever to participate in
the administration or enforcement of the Credit Party Guarantee. For the avoidance of doubt but without limitation, prior to the Lender
Termination Date any or all of the Credit Party Guarantee or any rights contained therein may be amended or released by the Administrative
Agent without the consent of any Secured Hedge Counterparty or Secured Cash Management Provider.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each Lender that is or becomes a Secured Hedge Counterparty or Secured Cash Management Provider shall
be bound as such by virtue of its execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, notwithstanding
that such capacity as Secured Hedge Counterparty or Secured Cash Management Provider may not be identified on its signature line. Each
Lender shall cause its Related Non-Party Beneficiaries to comply with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents applicable to them
and pay and perform their debts, liabilities and obligations thereunder.

8.3 Limitation of Duties of Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set out with respect to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement and as specified in the other Loan Documents. None of the Administrative Agent, nor any of its Related Parties 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 willful misconduct. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Secured Party. 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 any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set out herein. The Administrative 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.

8.4 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Independent Investigation*. Independently, and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (a) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (b) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Agents Not Responsible*. The Administrative 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 the Credit Parties 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 the Credit Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

8.5 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent.

If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders or the Required Lenders (as the case may be) with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received written instructions from the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or, to the extent required by Section 9.2, all of the Lenders.

8.6 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or facsimile message, electronic mail, cablegram, radiogram, order or other documentary teletransmission or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or Borrowing that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

8.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

To the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, each Lender shall reimburse and indemnify the Administrative 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 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 for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or willful misconduct.

8.8 The Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents in their Individual Capacity.

With respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the Loans made by it, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties, if any, specified herein; and the terms "**Lenders**", "**Required Lenders**", "**Revolving Credit Lenders**", "**Term Credit Lenders**" and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not performing the duties, if any, specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

8.9 May Treat Lender as Owner.

The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of the Loans recorded on the Register maintained pursuant to Section 9.4(3) 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.

8.10 Successor Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Replacement of Administrative Agent*. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days' notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (who shall not be a non-resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act), subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then, upon five Business Days' notice to the Borrower, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (subject to approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), which shall be a financial institution organized and existing under the laws of Canada having a combined capital and surplus of at least Cdn.$1,000,000,000 or having a parent company with combined capital and surplus of at least Cdn.$1,000,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Rights, Powers, etc*. 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. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

8.11 No Independent Legal Action.

Notwithstanding that any debt arising hereunder to a Lender shall be separate and independent debt, no Lender may take any independent legal action to enforce any obligation of the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Credit Party Guarantee and the remedies provided thereunder to the Secured Parties are for the benefit of the Secured Parties collectively and acting together and not severally, and further acknowledges that each Secured Party's rights hereunder and under the Credit Party Guarantee are to be exercised collectively, not severally, by the Administrative Agent upon the decision of the Required Lenders. Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in the Credit Party Guarantee, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it and its Related Non-Party Beneficiaries shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder, including any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder, but that any such action shall be taken only by the Administrative Agent with the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders (or the Required Lenders) and where in the sole opinion of the Administrative Agent the exigencies of the situation so warrant such action, the Administrative Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders (or the Required Lenders) take such action on behalf of the Secured Parties as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interests of the Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written consent being given by the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 9.2, the Lenders), it and its Related Non-Party Beneficiaries shall co-operate fully with the Administrative Agent to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, and each Lender further covenants and agrees that all proceeds from the realization of the Credit Party Guarantee, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, are held for the benefit of all of the Secured Parties and shall be shared among them in accordance with this Agreement, and each Lender acknowledges that all costs of any such realization (including all amounts for which the Administrative Agent is required to be indemnified under the provisions hereof) shall be shared among the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement. Each Lender covenants and agrees to do, and to cause its Related Non-Party Beneficiaries 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 8.11, and each Lender hereby covenants and agrees that it and its Related Non-Party Beneficiaries shall not (i) seek, take, accept or receive any Lien (other than a right of set-off) or Guarantee for any of the Secured Liabilities other than is provided to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) enter into any other agreement with any of the Group Parties relating in any manner whatsoever to the Credits unless all of the Lenders shall at the same time obtain the benefit of any such agreement. For the avoidance of doubt but subject always to Section 2.16, nothing in this Section 8.11 shall limit or otherwise affect the ability of any Secured Party to separately enforce its rights under any document, instrument or agreement with respect to any Secured Hedge Arrangement or Secured Cash Management Services.

8.12 Payments by Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The following provisions shall apply to any and all payments made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders
(or any of them) hereunder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to make any payment (whether in respect of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise) to any Lender until an amount in respect of such payment has been received by the Administrative Agent from
the Borrower;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if the Administrative Agent receives less than the full amount of any payment of principal, interest,
fees or other amount owing by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to remit to each Lender
any amount other than such Lender's Applicable Percentage of that amount which is the amount actually received by the Administrative
Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) if any Lender advances more or less than its Applicable Percentage of a Credit, such Lender's entitlement
to such payment shall be increased or reduced, as the case may be, in proportion to the amount actually advanced by such Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) if a Lender's Applicable Percentage of a Credit has been advanced, or a Lender's Commitment
has been outstanding, for less than the full period to which any payment (other than a payment of principal) by the Borrower relates,
such Lender's entitlement to such payment shall be reduced in proportion to the length of time such Lender's Applicable Percentage
of the relevant Credit or such Lender's Commitment, as the case may be, has actually been outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) the Administrative Agent acting reasonably and in good faith shall, after consultation with the Lenders
in the case of any dispute, determine in all cases the amount of all payments to which each Lender is entitled and such determination
shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be binding and conclusive; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) upon request, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a statement detailing any of the payments to the
Lenders referred to herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge that the Borrower has not made or will not make a
payment to the Administrative Agent for value on the date in respect of which the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent that
the payment will be made, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that such payment has been or will be received from the
Borrower when due and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obliged to), in reliance upon such assumption, pay the Lenders corresponding
amounts. If the payment by the Borrower is in fact not received by the Administrative Agent on the required date and the Administrative
Agent has made available corresponding amounts to the Lenders, the Borrower shall, without limiting its other obligations under this Agreement,
indemnify the Administrative Agent against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on or incurred by the Administrative Agent as a result, provided that such indemnity
shall not 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 non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Administrative
Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amount owing by the Borrower under this Section shall be *prima facie* evidence of the amount owing in the absence of demonstrable error. If the payment is not received by the Administrative Agent
from the Borrower within a reasonable time following the disbursement to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders shall return
the amounts received by them to the Administrative Agent with interest at the Canadian Prime Rate.

8.13 Lead Arranger and Bookrunner.

The Lead Arranger and the Bookrunner have no duties, liabilities or obligations hereunder.

8.14 Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Royal Bank of Canada shall act as Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents and shall have the same immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Borrower of any Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or any SPT Metric (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Sustainability Certificate (and the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

8.15 Erroneous Payments by the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Clawback.* If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents (any such Lender, other Secured Party or other recipient, a "**Payment Recipient**") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 8.15(2)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted or paid to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, other Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "**Erroneous Payment**") and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.15(1) and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or other Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than three Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of (x) in respect of an Erroneous Payment in U.S. Dollars, the Federal Funds Rate, and in respect of an Erroneous Payment in Canadian Dollars or any other currency, at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the overnight rate at which Canadian Dollars or funds in the currency of such Erroneous Payment, as the case may be, may be borrowed by the Administrative Agent in the interbank market in an amount comparable to such Erroneous Payment (as determined by the Administrative Agent), and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or prevailing market practice for interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 8.15(1) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Error Designation*. Without limiting the immediately preceding Section 8.15(1), each Lender or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, paid, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) it acknowledges and agrees that (i) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error
and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent express written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary), or
(ii) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment,
prepayment or repayment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) such Lender or other Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its
respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances
described in the immediately preceding clauses (x),(y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment
or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
8.15(2).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.15(2) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to Section 8.15(2) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Set-off*. Each Lender or other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set-off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or other Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or other Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under Section 8.15(1).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Assignment*. In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with Section 8.15(1), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an "**Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency**"), upon the Administrative Agent's notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not any of its Commitments) under any of the
applicable Facilities with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "**Erroneous Payment Impacted Facilities** ")
in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment
of the Loans (but not any of its Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Facilities, the "**Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment**") (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment
fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver
an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder
with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect
to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions
of this Agreement and any of its Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under
this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the
Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Subject to Section 9.4 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *Secured Liabilities Satisfaction*. The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the "**Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights**") (<u>provided that</u> the Credit Parties' Secured Liabilities under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Secured Liabilities in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment), and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Liabilities owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party; <u>provided that</u> this Section 8.15(5) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; <u>provided, further, that</u> for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x)and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from (i) the Borrower or any other Credit Party or (ii) the proceeds of realization from the enforcement of one or more of the Loan Documents against or in respect of one or more of the Credit Parties; <u>provided that</u>, in each case, such funds were received by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of discharging such Secured Liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) *Waiver of Defences*. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on "discharge for value", "good consideration" for the Erroneous Payment or change of position by such Payment Recipient, any defense that the intent of the Administrative Agent was that such Payment Recipient retain the Erroneous Payment in all events, or any doctrine or defense similar to any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) *Survival*. Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, or any assignment or transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Affiliate thereof the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Liabilities (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) *Affiliates*. For purposes of this Section 8.15, each Lender:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) agrees it is executing and delivering this Agreement with respect to this Section 8.15 both on its own
behalf and as agent for and on behalf of its Affiliates referred to in this Section 8.15 and any Person receiving funds under or pursuant
to any of the Loan Documents on behalf of such Lender or any of such Affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that its Affiliates referred to in this Section 8.15 and any
Person receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents on behalf of such Lender or any of such Affiliates are bound by
the provisions of this Section 8.15; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) agrees that any matter or thing done or omitted to be done by such Lender, its Affiliates, or any Person
receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents on behalf of such Lender or any of such Affiliates which are the subject
of this Section 8.15 will be binding upon such Lender and such Lender does hereby indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates harmless from any and all losses, expenses, claims, demands or other liabilities of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates
resulting from the failure of such Lender, its Affiliates or such Persons to comply with their obligations under and in respect of this
Section 8.15.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) *No Borrower Liability*. Except pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment or the exercise of any Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights (or any equivalent equitable subrogation rights), the Borrower shall not have any liability to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for any Erroneous Payment or any interest, loss, cost or damages related there to arising therefrom under any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or under any legal principle or theory, whether arising by law or in equity.

9.2 Waivers; Amendments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Waiver*. No failure or delay by the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.2(2), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Amendments*. Neither this Agreement nor the Credit Party Guarantee (or any provision hereof or thereof) may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (and for greater certainty, any such waiver, amendment or modification shall not require any consent or other agreement of any Credit Party other than the Borrower, notwithstanding that any such Credit Party may be a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document); provided that no such agreement shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) increase the amount of any Commitment of any Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) extend the expiry date of any Commitment of any Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) other than by way of any Additional Commitment, increase the amount of any Indebtedness available hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest or any fee applicable to any Loan
(provided that the Required Lenders may amend the definition of Leverage Ratio notwithstanding any effect on the Applicable Margin);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or
any fees payable in respect thereof, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
of any Commitment (it being understood that modifications to, or waivers of, the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 2.9(2) do
not fall within this clause (e));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) change Section 2.16 in a manner that would alter the sharing of payments required thereby;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) change any of the provisions of Section 9.2 or the definition of "**Required Lenders** "
or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) waive any Event of Default under Section 7.1(g), (h), or (i) (it being understood that any other
Event of Default may be waived by the Required Lenders, notwithstanding that the Loans would otherwise bear a default rate of interest
and be capable of falling due and payable);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) release any Credit Party from any material obligations under the Credit Party Guarantee and other instruments
contemplated by this Agreement, permit the creation of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on any of the assets of the Group Parties,
waive or forgo the delivery of the Credit Party Guarantee required hereunder, or lower the priority of any payment obligation of any Credit
Party under any of the Loan Documents; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) change the amounts under the column titled "Adjustment to the Applicable Margin" in the table
contained in the definition of "Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment"; provided that (i) any adoption of any Alternative
SPT Metric in accordance with Section 2.22(2); (ii) any amendment to an SPT Metric or any target set therefor set forth under the column
titled "Target" in the definition of "Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment"; (iii) any amendment to the
definition of "Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment" in accordance with Section 2.22(5); and (iv) any amendment in
accordance with Section 2.22(6), shall, in each case, only require the consent of the Required Lenders

in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender, or in the case of the matters referred to in Section 9.2(2)(a) (b), (d), (e), and (f), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank, a Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent or the Swingline Lender hereunder, as the case may be, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent or Swingline Lender (as applicable). For greater certainty, the Administrative Agent may release and discharge a Guarantor from the Credit Party Guarantee to the extent necessary to enable a Credit Party to complete any Asset Disposition which is not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent may deliver any documents requested by such Guarantor, acting reasonably, to evidence such release and discharge.

9.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Expenses*. The Borrower shall pay (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and all applicable Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and applicable Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents, (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (c) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents, the Lead Arranger or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender and all applicable Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), in connection with the assessment, enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under Section 9.3, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Indemnity*. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lead Arranger, each Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent and each Secured Party, as well as each Related Party and each assignee of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person and each such assignee being called an "**Indemnitee**") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, cost recovery actions, damages, expenses and liabilities of whatsoever nature or kind and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and all applicable Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) to which any Indemnitee may become subject arising out of or in connection with (a) 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, (b) any Loan or Letter of Credit or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, including any refusal by the applicable Issuing Bank to honour a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by a Credit Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to a Credit Party, (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (e) any other aspect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (f) the enforcement of any Indemnitee's rights hereunder and any related assessment, investigation, defence, preparation of defence, litigation and enquiries, in each case regardless of whether or not the Acquisition is consummated; **<u>provided that</u>** such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (y) result from a claim brought by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document if such Credit Party or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealeable judgment in its favour on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Lender Responsibility for Unpaid Expenses and Indemnity.* To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid under Sections 9.3(1) or (2), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, each Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender (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, a Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, in its capacity as such.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Inspections for Administration.* Any inspection of any property of any Credit Party made by or through the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be for purposes of administration of the Credits only, and no Credit Party shall be entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of the Borrower).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *No Representation.* By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative 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 or the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) *Relationship Between Parties.* The relationship between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lenders. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstances be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform the Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their property or the operations of the Borrower or its Affiliates. The Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters shall be solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Person shall be entitled to rely thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) *Limitation of Liability.* The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of any Credit Party or its Affiliates, and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless on the terms set out in Section 9.3(2) from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) *Payment of Expenses and Indemnity.* All amounts due under Section 9.3 shall be payable not later than three Business Days after written demand therefor.

9.4 Successors and Assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Successors and Assigns*. 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 (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Banks that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (a) the Borrower shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and (b) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 9.4. 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 (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Assignment by Lenders*. 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 (a) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to be withholding its consent reasonably if the proposed assignee is a Competitor), (b) at and after the time of the assignment, other than an assignment made while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower will not be under any obligation to pay any greater amount pursuant to Section 2.15 than it would have been obliged to pay if the Lender had not made such assignment, and (c) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks) must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (d) the Borrower's consent shall not be required with respect to any assignment made at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (e) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Assumption relating to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than Cdn.$10,000,000, 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.$10,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in writing, (f) 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, (g) 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) a processing and recordation fee of Cdn.$5,000, payable by the assigning Lender, (h) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, and (i) no assignment may be made to any Credit Party, any Affiliate of a Credit Party, or a Defaulting Lender. 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 Section 9.4(4), 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 2.13, 2.14, and 2.15 and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with Section 9.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.4(5).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Register.* 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 and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "**Register**"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *Acceptance and Recording of Assignments.* 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 Section 9.4(2) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.4(2), 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 Section 9.4(4).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) *Participations.* Any Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, 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 (a) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (c) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 (d) 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 shall not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.2(2) that affects such Participant, and (e) the Participant shall agree to maintain the confidentiality of Information (as defined in Section 9.16) on terms and conditions substantively similar to those contained in Section 9.16. Subject to Section 9.4(6), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.4(2). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.11 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(4) as though it were a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) *Rights of Participant.* A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.3 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) *Lender Pledge of Security.* Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and Section 9.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) *Borrower's Obligations.* Any assignment or grant of a participation pursuant to Section 9.4 shall constitute neither a repayment by the Borrower to the assigning or granting Lender of any Loan included therein, nor a new advance of any such Loan to the Borrower by such Lender or by the assignee or Participant, as the case may be. The parties acknowledge that the Borrower's obligations hereunder with respect to any such Loans shall continue and shall not constitute new obligations as a result of such assignment or participation.

9.5 Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Information.* The Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to AML Legislation, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrower, its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Borrower, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Role of Agent.* If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 the Administrative Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from the Borrower or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

9.6 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any
such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in
such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on
it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion
powers of any applicable Resolution Authority.

9.7 Survival.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 9.3 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect, regardless of the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

9.8 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be executed either in original or faxed or other electronic form and the parties adopt any signatures received by a receiving fax machine or via e-mail as original signatures of the parties; provided, however, that any Party providing its signature in such manner shall promptly forward to the other parties an original of the signed copy of this Agreement which was so faxed or e-mailed.

9.9 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement (together with the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent), constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written. There are no conditions, warranties, representations or other agreements between the parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement (whether oral or written, express or implied, statutory or otherwise) except as specifically set out in this Agreement or in such other applicable agreements.

9.10 Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability and shall be severed from the balance of this Agreement, all without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.11 Right of Set Off.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party 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 Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all of the obligations of the Credit Parties now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under any Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured and regardless of the currency of the deposit. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 9.11 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) which such Secured Party may have.

9.12 Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable in that Province and shall be treated, in all respects, as an Alberta contract.

9.13 Attornment.

Each party hereto agrees (a) that any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement may (but need not) be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Alberta, and for that purpose now irrevocably and unconditionally attorns and submits to the jurisdiction of such Alberta court, (b) that it irrevocably waives any right to, and shall not, oppose any such Alberta action or proceeding on any jurisdictional basis, including <u>forum non conveniens,</u> and (c) not to oppose the enforcement against it in any other jurisdiction of any judgment or order duly obtained from an Alberta court as contemplated by this Section 9.13.

9.14 Service of Process.

Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

9.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.15.

9.16 Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to each of their Affiliates, Lender Affiliates (in the case of a Lender) directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any rating agency, credit bureau, regulatory authority or other Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Hedge Arrangement relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) to their auditors in connection with any audit, (h) with the consent of the Borrower, or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16, or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 9.16, "**Information**" means all information received from any Credit Party relating to any Credit Party, any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates, or their respective business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Lead Arranger, or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Credit Party; provided that, in the case of information received from a Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified as confidential in writing at the time of delivery. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Parties and the Credit Parties agree that each of the Bookrunner and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP may inform league table services, such as Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg, and make mention in its promotional publications and the media generally of its involvement in (and in the case of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, its representation of the Secured Parties with respect to) the Transactions.

9.17 No Strict Construction.

The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

9.18 Paramountcy.

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any other Loan Document then, notwithstanding anything contained in such other Loan Document, the provisions contained in this Agreement shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency and the provisions of such other Loan Document shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to eliminate such conflict or inconsistency, it being understood that the purpose of the other Loan Documents is to add to, and not detract from, the rights granted to the Administrative Agent (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties) under this Agreement. If any act or omission of any or all Credit Parties is expressly permitted under this Agreement but is expressly prohibited under any other Loan Document, such act or omission shall be permitted. If any act or omission is expressly prohibited under any other Loan Document, but this Agreement does not expressly permit such act or omission, or if any act is expressly required to be performed under any other Loan Document but this Agreement does not expressly relieve any or all Credit Parties from such performance, such circumstance shall not constitute a conflict or inconsistency between the applicable provisions of such other Loan Document and the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

9.19 Excluded Swap Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any Excluded Swap Obligations of a Guarantor shall be excluded from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the definition of "Secured Liabilities" in any Loan Document as it pertains to such Guarantor;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the definition of "Secured Liabilities" in the Credit Party Guarantee as it pertains to such
Guarantor, and no Excluded Swap Obligations shall be guaranteed or indemnified by such Guarantor under any Loan Document.

9.20 USA Patriot Act.

Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies each Credit Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, such Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of such Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Credit Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

9.21 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY ANY CREDIT PARTY, ANY SECURED PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON 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 RESULT OF, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND EACH CREDIT PARTY AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ALL SUCH CLAIMS, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOUR.

9.22 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for a Hedge Arrangement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "**QFC Credit Support**" and each such QFC a "**Supported QFC**"), the parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the *Federal Deposit Insurance Act* and Title II of the *Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act* (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "**U.S. Special Resolution Regimes**") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the following provisions applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States), in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "**Covered Party**") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF**, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

**<u>ADDITIONAL COMMITMENT AGREEMENT</u>**

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as Administrative Agent

Infrastructure/Technology, Infrastructure and Innovation

Toronto, Ontario M5G 2C2

Attention: Global Agent Administration Services <br> E-mail: *[Redacted – Personal Information] and [Redacted – Personal Information]* <br> Facsimile: (416) 956-3830

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain second amended and restated credit agreement dated as of December 8, 2022 (as amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, the "**Credit Agreement**", the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined) between, among others, Stantec Inc., as borrower (the "**Borrower**"), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders (the "**Lenders**"), and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the "**Agent**").

1. Each of the undersigned financial institutions (each, an "**Additional Lender**") hereby severally agrees to provide the Additional Commitment set forth opposite its name on **Annex I** (for each such Additional Lender, its "**Additional Commitment**"). Each Additional Commitment provided pursuant to this letter agreement (this "**Agreement**") shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1(3) thereof. Each Additional Lender agrees that, from and after the Effective Date (as defined below), such Additional Lender shall be obligated to make Loans under the **[Revolving/Term]**<sup>1</sup> Credit upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in the Credit Agreement and in this Agreement.

2. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Additional Commitments provided pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute (and serve to increase) the **[Revolving/Term]** Credit such that further **[Revolving/Term]** Loans become available thereunder upon identical terms and conditions, (ii) with respect to the Additional Commitment provided by any Additional Lender pursuant to this Agreement, such Additional Lender shall receive from the Borrower such up-front, arrangement and/or other fees, if any, as may be separately agreed to in writing by the Borrower and such Additional Lender, all of which fees shall be due and payable to such Additional Lender on the terms and conditions set forth in each such separate agreement, and (iii) from and after the Effective Date, each Additional Lender shall be a **[Revolving/Term]** Credit Lender under and as defined in the Credit Agreement for the purposes of the Credit Agreement and for all of the Loan Documents and shall be bound by the terms, conditions and covenants and shall be entitled to the benefits thereof as if it were an original **[Revolving/Term]** Credit Lender and signatory with a **[Revolving/Term]** Credit Commitment equal to such Additional Lender's Additional Commitment (plus, if such Additional Lender is already a **[Revolving/Term]** Credit Lender, such **[Revolving/Term]** Credit Lender's **[Revolving/Term]** Credit Commitment, immediately prior to giving effect to the increase thereof pursuant to this Agreement).

________________________

<sup>1</sup> NTD: Any Additional Commitment under the Term Credit must be divided equally among its remaining tranches.
