indebtedness of the Borrower will be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due on or in respect of all other existing and future senior indebtedness of the Borrower before the Lender is entitled to receive or retain payment of principal
hereunder or as permitted by the terms of such senior indebtedness. 
  

	 	2.5	 Optional Prepayment 

 The Borrower may, without penalty, prepay the Subordinated Loan outstanding with accrued interest thereon, provided however that no amounts are then outstanding under the senior indebtedness of the
Borrower or as permitted by the terms of such senior indebtedness. 
 Any amount prepaid by the Borrower pursuant
to this Section 2.5 may not be re-borrowed under this Agreement and shall constitute a permanent reduction of the Subordinated Loan. 
  

	 	2.6	 Automatic Payment Deferral 

 Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Borrower shall have no obligation to make any payment becoming due and payable hereunder until the Borrower is reasonably satisfied
that it will concurrently receive a corresponding capital or dividend payment under the Class B Preferred Shares. 
  

	 	2.7	 Interest on Overdue Payments 

 In the event that any amount of principal of, or interest on, the Subordinated Loan is not paid by the Borrower in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), the Borrower shall pay, on demand, interest on such unpaid amount, from the date such amount becomes due until the date such amount is paid in full, at the rate determined in Section 2.2 plus 2.0%. If any other amount payable by the
Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid in full when due, the Borrower shall pay, on demand, interest on such unpaid amount from the date such amount becomes due until the date such amount is paid in full at an annual interest rate determined
in Section 2.2 plus 2.0 %. 
  

	 	2.8	 Manner of Payment

at the registered office of the Lender located at 612 Saint-Jacques Street, Montreal, province of Quebec, H3C 4M8, or at such other place as the Lender may designate in writing. Any payment received after 11:00 a.m., Montreal time, shall be deemed
to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. If the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Loan, or any other amount payable by the

  

 - 4 - 

 
Borrower under this Agreement, becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment date or the maturity date thereof shall be the next following Business Day. 
  

	 	2.9	 Application of Payments 

  

	 	2.9.1	 All payments made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied in each instance in the following order: 

 

	 	(1)	 first, to the amount of interest due and payable on the Subordinated Loan; 

  

	 	(2)	 second, to the amount due and payable as principal of the Subordinated Loan; and 

  

	 	(3)	 third, to any other amount due and payable pursuant to the Loan Documents. 

  

	 	2.9.2	 Following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing or following the Maturity Date, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right
to direct the application of any and all such payments received from or on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that the Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the
Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents as the Lender may deem advisable.
