 Grantor agrees that, in the
event Grantor, pursuant to any First Lien Documents, takes any action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of the First Lien Agent in any assets (other than Second Lien Excluded Equity Interests (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)), such
Grantor shall also take such action to grant or perfect a Lien (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of the Collateral Agent to secure the Secured Obligations without request of the Collateral Agent, including with respect to any
property in which a Grantor grants or perfects a Lien in favor of the First Lien Agent. 
 TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular
the Collateral unto Collateral Agent, its permitted successors and assigns, forever, upon the terms and trusts herein set forth, for the benefit, security and protection of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and for the uses
and purposes and subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement. 
 Grantor does hereby constitute and appoint
Collateral Agent the true and lawful attorney of Grantor, irrevocably, for good and valuable consideration with full power of substitution, which appointment is coupled with an interest, with full power (in the name of Grantor or otherwise) to ask
for, require, demand, receive, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of all property (in each case including insurance and requisition proceeds) which now or
hereafter constitutes part of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or to take any action or to institute any proceeding which Collateral Agent may deem to be necessary or
advisable in the premises as fully as Grantor itself could do; provided that Collateral Agent shall not be permitted to exercise any such rights except following the existence, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default. Without
limiting the foregoing provisions, following the existence, and during the continuance of, any Event of Default, but subject to the terms hereof, the Intercreditor Agreement and any mandatory requirements of applicable law, Collateral Agent shall
have the right under such power of attorney, but no obligation, in its discretion to file any claim or to take any other action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Grantor or otherwise, which Collateral Agent may reasonably deem
necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Collateral Agent in and to the security intended to be afforded hereby. 
 Grantor agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Collateral Agent, Grantor will, at its cost and expense, promptly and duly execute and deliver or cause to

  
 4 

 
be duly executed and delivered any and all such further instruments and documents (including legal opinions reasonably requested by Collateral Agent), and do such further acts and things,
including filings, recordations, registrations, and similar actions under the Code, with the FAA, with the International Registry, or any other registry with respect to any Aircraft, any Engine, any Rotor, any Rotor Blade, as Collateral Agent may
reasonably deem desirable in obtaining the full benefits of the security interest and assignment hereunder and of the rights and powers herein granted. 
 Grantor does hereby warrant and represent that, except as permitted by the Secured Documents, it has not granted a security interest in or assigned or pledged, or sold, transferred, leased, or otherwise
disposed of, and hereby covenants that, except as permitted by the Secured Documents, it will not (i) grant a security interest in, assign or pledge, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of, so long as the Lien of this Agreement has
not been discharged in accordance with the terms hereof, any of its rights, titles or interests in the Collateral to any Person other than Collateral Agent and the First Lien Agent, and (ii) except in each case as provided hereunder, or so long
as no Event of Default is in existence, enter into any agreement amending or supplementing any agreement assigned or pledged hereunder or execute any waiver or modification of, or consent under, the terms of, or exercise any rights, powers or
privileges under, any agreement assigned or pledged hereunder, or settle or compromise any claim arising under any agreement assigned or pledged hereunder, submit or consent to the submission of any dispute, difference or other matter arising under
or in respect of any agreement assigned or pledged hereunder, or to arbitration thereunder. 
 It is hereby further agreed that
any and all Collateral described or referred to in the granting clause hereof which is hereafter acquired by Grantor shall ipso facto, and without any other conveyance, assignment or act on the part of Grantor or Collateral Agent, become and
be subject to the Lien herein granted as fully and completely as though specifically described herein. 
 SECTION 3. COVENANTS OF
THE GRANTOR 
 Section 3.1 Liens and Legal Opinions. 

(a) Grantor shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or International Interest against or
with respect to any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, any Rotor Blade, or any Part or title thereto or any interest therein except for Permitted Liens. Grantor shall promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary to
duly discharge (by bonding or otherwise) any Lien other than a Permitted Lien arising at any time. 
 (b) Promptly following the
execution and delivery of this Agreement Grantor shall furnish an opinion of qualified FAA counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent, that (i) this Agreement is in recordable form, (ii) this Agreement has
been filed for recordation with the FAA in accordance with the Federal Aviation Act and creates a duly perfected second priority security interest in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the portion of the Collateral
for which a security interest can be perfected by such filing with the FAA in favor of Collateral Agent, and there are no other Liens of record with the FAA with respect to the Collateral (except for Permitted Liens), and (iii) the
International Interests granted in each Aircraft (and each of the applicable Engines) under this Agreement have been registered as International Interests with the International Registry in accordance with the Cape Town Convention, and there are no
other International Interests of record with the International Registry with respect to the Collateral (except for Permitted Liens) (and Grantor shall have furnished to Collateral Agent a “priority search certificate” from the
International Registry confirming the foregoing), and covering such other matters as Collateral Agent shall reasonably request. Promptly after this Agreement has been recorded by the FAA, Grantor shall deliver to Collateral Agent an opinion of such
counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent, as to the due recordation thereof by the FAA.

 Section 3.2 Possession. 

Except as expressly permitted in Section 3.9 or pursuant to each Secured Document, Grantor shall not lease, or otherwise in any
manner deliver, relinquish or transfer possession of any Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, or any Rotor Blade to any Person or install any Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade, or permit any Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade, to be installed, on an airframe
other than the Airframes, provided, however, that so long as all approvals, consents or authorizations required from the Aeronautical Authority in connection with any such lease or such delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession have
been obtained and remain in full force and effect, Grantor may, whether or not permitted by each Secured Document: 
 (a) enter
into a Wet Lease or other similar arrangement under which Grantor has operational control of any Airframes, any Engines, any Rotors, any Rotor Blades installed thereon in the course of Grantor’s business (which shall not be considered a
transfer of possession hereunder), provided that Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such Wet Lease or other similar arrangement; 

(b) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, deliver possession of any Airframe,
any Engine, any Rotor, any Rotor Blade, or any Part to the manufacturer thereof or to any FAA certified organization for testing, service, repair, maintenance, overhaul work or other similar purposes or for alterations or modifications or additions
required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement; 
 (c) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or would result therefrom, install an Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade on an airframe owned by Grantor that is free and clear of all Liens except (i) Permitted Liens, or (ii) those which apply only to the engines (other than the
Engines), appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings and other equipment (other than Parts, Rotors, or Rotor Blades) installed on such airframe; 
 (d) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, install an Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade on an airframe leased by Grantor or purchased by Grantor
subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, but only if (i) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens, except (A) the rights of the parties to such lease, or any such secured financing arrangement, covering such airframe
and (B) Liens of the type permitted by Section 3.2(c), and (ii) Grantor shall have received from the lessor, mortgagee, secured party or conditional seller, in respect of such airframe, a written agreement (which may be a copy of the
lease, mortgage, security agreement, conditional sale or other agreement covering such airframe), whereby such Person agrees that it will not acquire or claim any right, title or interest in, or Lien on, such Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade by reason
of such Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade being installed on such airframe at any time while such Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade is subject to this Agreement; 
 (e) install an Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade on an airframe, owned by Grantor, leased by Grantor or purchased by Grantor subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement under circumstances where
neither clause (c) nor clause (d) above is applicable; or 
 (f) transfer possession of any Airframe, any Engine, any
Rotor, or Rotor Blade to the United States of America when required by Applicable Law, in which event Grantor shall promptly notify Collateral Agent in writing of any such transfer of possession; 

  
 6 

 provided that (1) the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason
of a transfer permitted by this Section 3.2 shall be subject and subordinate to all the terms of this Agreement (except as required by Applicable Law in respect of Persons described in clause (b) or clause (f) above); (2) Grantor
shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other applicable Secured Documents shall remain in effect; (3) no lease
or transfer of possession otherwise in compliance with this Section 3.2 shall (A) result in any registration or re-registration of any Aircraft or the maintenance, operation or use thereof except in compliance with Sections 3.3(b), (c),
(d) or (f), or (B) permit any action not permitted to Grantor hereunder; (4) if any such lease or transfer of possession shall result in any risk of adverse tax consequences to the Secured Parties (as determined in an Officers’
Certificate delivered by the Issuer to the Collateral Agent and on which the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely), Grantor shall, prior to entering into the same, provide an indemnity satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent
against any such adverse tax consequences; (5) Grantor shall provide sufficient evidence that the insurance required by Section 3.3(k) remains in effect and for the purpose of Collateral Agent’s review of such insurance requirements,
Grantor shall, at least five (5) days prior to the date of any lease permitted under this Section 3.2, provide to Collateral Agent, forms of the broker’s report and insurance certificates required by Section 3.3(k)(vi);
(6) all necessary documents shall have been duly filed or recorded in applicable public offices as may be required to preserve the Lien of this Agreement upon the Airframe and Engines; and (7) Grantor shall reimburse Collateral Agent, on
an after tax basis, for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, registration and filing fees, notary fees, and disbursements of counsel) in connection with any such lease or transfer. 

Section 3.3 Registration and Operation. 
 (a) Registration and Recordation. Except as expressly permitted in Section 3.9, each Aircraft shall be duly registered in the name of Grantor under the Transportation Code and on the
International Registry at all times; provided that Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver all such documents as Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of effecting or continuing such registration. Except as expressly permitted in
Section 3.9, Grantor shall not change the registration number of any Aircraft. Unless the Lien of this Agreement has been discharged in accordance with terms hereof, Grantor shall also cause this Agreement to be duly recorded and at all times
maintained of record on such registries as a second-priority perfected mortgage on each Aircraft, each Airframe, and each of the Engines, except as expressly permitted in Section 3.9. 

(b) Intentionally Omitted. 
 (c) Markings. If permitted by Applicable Law, Grantor will cause to be affixed to, and maintained in, the cockpit of such Airframe, in a clearly visible location, and in a visible location on each
Engine, a placard of a reasonable size and shape bearing the legend, in English, set forth below: 
 Mortgaged to 

Wilmington Trust, National Association, 
 as Collateral Agent 
 Such placard may be removed temporarily, if necessary, in
the course of maintenance of such Airframe or such Engine, as the case may be. If such placard is damaged or becomes illegible, Grantor shall promptly replace it with a placard complying with the requirements of this Section 3.3(c). 

  
 7 

 (d) Compliance With Laws. Grantor shall not permit any Airframe, any Engine, any
Rotor, or any Rotor Blade to be used or operated in violation of any Applicable Law or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to such Aircraft, Engines, Rotors, or Rotor Blades issued by any competent
governmental authority, unless (i) the validity thereof is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings which do not involve a danger (other than a de minimis danger) of the sale, forfeiture or loss of such Airframe, such
Engines, such Rotors, or such Rotor Blades or the Lien of this Agreement thereupon, any risk of criminal liability or any material risk of civil liability against Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, or (ii) it is not possible for
Grantor to comply with the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States because of a conflict with the Applicable Laws of the United States. 
 (e) Operation. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Grantor shall be entitled to operate, use, locate, employ or otherwise utilize or not utilize the Airframes, Engines, Rotors, Rotor
Blades, and Parts in any lawful manner or place in accordance with Grantor’s business judgment. Grantor shall not operate, use or locate any Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, any Rotor Blade, or suffer any Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, any
Rotor Blades to be operated, used or located (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 3.3(k) hereof, except in the case of a requisition by the United States of America where Grantor obtains
(and provide evidence of) indemnity from the Governmental Authority for the benefit of the Additional Insureds against substantially the same risks and for at least the amounts of the insurance required by Section 3.3(k) hereof covering such
area, or (ii) unless covered by war risk insurance, unless such Airframe, such Engine, such Rotor, or such Rotor Blade is operated or used under contract with the Government under which contract the Government assumes liability for
substantially the same risks, on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent, in at least the same amounts as would be covered by such insurance. 
 (f) Information for Filings. Grantor shall promptly furnish to Collateral Agent such information that is under its control or to which it has reasonable access as may be required to enable
Collateral Agent timely to file any reports required to be filed by it with any Governmental Authority because of, or in connection with, the interest of Collateral Agent in the Aircraft, Airframes, Engines, Rotors, Rotor Blades, or any other part
of the Collateral (it being understood that the Collateral Agent is not obligated to make any such filings and notwithstanding the foregoing each Grantor shall cause to be timely filed all such reports required to be filed with any Governmental
Authority). 
 (g) Maintenance. Grantor, at its own cost and expense, shall service, repair, maintain, overhaul and test
each Aircraft, each Airframe, each Engine, each Rotor, each Rotor Blade, or cause the same to be done in accordance with (1)(i) a Maintenance Program and (ii) maintenance standards required by the FAA, and shall keep or cause to be kept
Aircraft, each Airframe, each Engine, each Rotor, and each Rotor Blade in as good operating condition as where originally mortgaged hereunder and after giving effect to the refurbishment contemplated to be financed hereby, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, and shall keep or cause to be kept each Aircraft, each Airframe, each Engine, each Rotor, and each Rotor Blade in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of each Aircraft to be maintained in
good standing at all times under the applicable rules and regulations of the FAA, except when all aircraft of the same type, model or series as such Airframe (powered by engines of the same type as those with which such Airframe shall be equipped at
the time of grounding) have been grounded by the FAA, and (2) the same standards Grantor uses with respect to similar aircraft of similar size in its fleet operated (whether owned or leased) by Grantor in similar circumstances. Nothing herein
shall be deemed to prevent Grantor from taking any Aircraft out of service for maintenance or modifications permitted hereunder or storage in accordance with applicable FAA requirements and sound practice for such storage. Grantor shall maintain and
update in a timely fashion all records, logs and other documents required by the FAA or any other Government Authority having jurisdiction to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft and such records, logs and other documents shall

  
 8 

 
be kept in the English language. Grantor further agrees that the Aircraft, Airframes, Engines, Rotors, and Rotor Blades will be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled or inspected in
compliance with Applicable Law with respect to the maintenance of the Aircraft and compliance with each applicable airworthiness certificate, license and registration relating to such Collateral issued by the FAA. Grantor shall comply with all
airworthiness directives from the FAA and all mandatory service bulletins issued from any Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer. 

(h) Replacement of Parts. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the third sentence of Section 3.3(j), Grantor, at its own cost and expense, will promptly replace all Parts that may from time to time become worn out,
lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, Grantor, at its own cost
and expense, may remove any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use, provided that Grantor, at its own cost and expense, shall, except as
otherwise provided in the proviso to the third sentence of Section 3.3(j), replace such Parts as promptly as practicable with replacement Parts. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens and shall be
in as good operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. 

Except in respect of any Part that Grantor may remove from an Airframe, an Engine, a Rotor, or a Rotor Blade as provided in the proviso
to the third sentence of Section 3.3(j), all Parts at any time removed from an Airframe, an Engine, a Rotor, or a Rotor Blade shall remain the property of Grantor and subject to this Agreement, no matter where located, until such time as such
Parts shall be replaced by Parts that have been incorporated or installed in or attached to an Airframe, Engine, a Rotor, or a Rotor Blade and that meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified in the first paragraph of this
Section 3.3(h). Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to an Airframe, Engine, Rotor, or a Rotor Blade as provided in this Section 3.3(h), without further act, (i) title to the replaced
Part shall be free and clear of all rights of Collateral Agent and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder; (ii) title to such replacement Part shall thereupon vest in Grantor; and (iii) such replacement Part shall become
subject to the Lien of this Agreement and be deemed part of such Airframe, Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade as the case may be, for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such
Airframe, Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade. 
 (i) Intentionally Omitted. 

(j) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. 
 Grantor, at its own expense, shall make (or cause to be made) alterations and modifications in and additions to any Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, or any Rotor Blade as may be required to be made from
time to time by Applicable Law and to meet applicable standards of any airworthiness directives or any other standard of the FAA and any mandatory service bulletins of the applicable Manufacturer or the applicable Engine Manufacturer or in order to
maintain the insurance required under Section 3.3(k) regardless of upon whom such requirements are, by their terms, nominally imposed; provided that Grantor may, in good faith and by appropriate procedure, contest the validity or
application of any such standard in any reasonable manner which does not adversely affect the interests of Collateral Agent and does not involve any risk (other than a de minimis risk) of sale, forfeiture or loss of any Aircraft, any
Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, any Rotor Blade, or the Lien of this Agreement 

  
 9 

 
thereupon, any material risk of civil penalty or any risk of criminal liability being imposed on Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. In addition, Grantor, at its own expense, may from
time to time make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to any Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, or any Rotor Blades as Grantor may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business including, without limitation,
removal of Parts which Grantor deems are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in such Aircraft, such Airframe, such Engine, such Rotors, or such Rotor Blades, provided further that no such alteration, modification or addition
diminishes the value, utility, estimated residual value (with respect to the applicable Airframe only), condition, remaining useful life or airworthiness of such Airframe, such Engine, such Rotor, or such Rotor Blade below the value, utility,
estimated residual value, condition, remaining useful life or airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification or addition, assuming such Airframe, Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade was then in the condition required to be
maintained by the terms of this Agreement, except that the value (but not the utility, estimated residual value, condition, remaining useful life or airworthiness) of the Aircraft may be reduced by the value of Parts which Grantor has removed as
permitted above. All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to any Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, or any Rotor Blade as the result of any alteration, modification or addition effected by Grantor shall become the property of
Grantor and, without further act, subject to the Lien of this Agreement and shall be free and clear of any other Liens except Permitted Liens, provided that Grantor may remove any such Part from the Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, or any
Rotor Blade if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or in substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe, such Engine, such Rotor, or such Rotor Blade at the time of
delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or in substitution for, any such original Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or such Engine pursuant to the
terms of Section 3.3(g) or the first sentence of this Section 3.3(j) or pursuant to the terms of any insurance policies required to be carried hereunder or under any Applicable Law and (iii) such Part can be removed from such
Airframe, such Engine, such Rotor, or such Rotor Blade without diminishing or impairing the value, condition, utility, estimated residual value, remaining useful life or airworthiness which such Airframe, Engine, Rotor, or Rotor Blade would have had
at the time of removal had such alteration, modification or addition not been effected by Grantor assuming such Aircraft was otherwise maintained in the condition required by this Agreement. Upon the removal by Grantor of any such Part as above
provided, title thereto shall, without further act, remain in Grantor, free and clear of all rights of Collateral Agent and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. 

(k) Insurance. 
 (i) General Requirements 
 Grantor shall at all times, at its own cost and expense,
cause policies of insurance in such form, of such type and with financially sound insurers, to be procured and maintained on or in respect of each Aircraft and Engine, as follows: (1) comprehensive aircraft liability insurance complying with
all applicable regulatory requirements and covering all risks which Grantor may incur by reason of the use or operation of the Aircraft in or over any area (including, without limitation, contractual, bodily injury, passenger, public and property
damage liability) with respect to each Aircraft in an amount not less than the greater of (A) $50,000,000 per occurrence or (B) the amounts of comprehensive aviation liability insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft operated by
Grantor (whether owned or leased) of the type of such Aircraft; (2) cargo liability insurance with respect to each Aircraft; (3) all-risk ground and flight aircraft hull insurance covering each Aircraft in motion and not in motion, and

appraised fair market value thereof; and (4) such other insurance against other risks as is usually carried by a Person engaged in the same business as Grantor. All such insurance shall 

  
 10 

 
be maintained with financially sound insurers and shall be in a form and on terms consistent with this Section and Section 4.05 of the Indenture and the corresponding provision of any
Additional Pari Passu Agreement, and Grantor shall provide evidence of compliance with the insurance requirements outlined herein in accordance with section 3.3(k)(v). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict
that cannot be resolved between this Section 3.3(k) hereof and the provisions of the Section 4.05(b) of the Indenture, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern. 

(ii) Additional Insureds, Etc. 
 All insurance policies required hereunder shall (1) require 30 days’ prior written notice of cancellation, non-renewal or material change in coverage to Collateral Agent (any such cancellation,
non-renewal or change, as applicable, not being effective until the thirtieth (30th) day after the giving of such notice); (2) name the Collateral Agent and the Additional Insureds as additional insureds under the public liability policies
and name Collateral Agent as loss payee under the physical damage insurance policies (and any such proceeds paid to Collateral Agent shall be held and distributed in the manner provided in Section 3.3(k)(iv) and the other provisions hereof);
(3) not require contributions from other policies held by the Additional Insureds; (4) waive any right of subrogation against the Additional Insureds; (5) in respect of any liability of any of the Additional Insureds, waive the right
of such insurers to set-off, to counterclaim or to any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, to the extent of any monies due the Additional Insureds under such policies; (6) not require that any of the Additional Insureds pay or
be liable for any premiums with respect to such insurance covered thereby; (7) be in full force and effect throughout any geographical areas at any time traversed by any Airframe or Engine; (8) contain a clause requiring the insurer, upon
notice of the same, to name any assignee of an Additional Insured’s interest as an additional insured and a loss payee; (9) shall provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner
as if there were a separate policy covering each Additional Insured; and (10) with respect to physical damages policies only, contain breach of warranty provisions providing that, in respect of the interests of the Additional Insureds in such
policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Grantor or any other person (other than an Additional Insured, as to itself only) and shall insure the Additional Insureds regardless of any breach or violation of any
warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Grantor or by any other person (other than an Additional Insured, as to itself only). 
 (iii) War and Allied Perils Insurance. 
 With respect to each Aircraft operated
outside the continental United States, Grantor shall maintain, and supply Collateral Agent proof of, war and allied perils insurance for all locations that such Aircraft travels to and through, which covers the perils of (1) war, invasion, acts
of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, martial law, military or usurped power or attempts at usurpation of power, (2) strikes, riots, civil commotions or labor
disturbances, (3) any act of one or more persons, whether or not agents of a sovereign power, for political or terrorist purposes and whether the loss or damage resulting therefrom is accidental or intentional, (4) any malicious act or act
of sabotage, (5) confiscation, nationalization, seizure, restraint, detention, appropriation, requisition for title or use by or under the order of any government (whether civil, military or de facto) or public or local authority and
(6) hijacking, or any unlawful seizure or wrongful exercise of control of the Aircraft or crew in flight (including any attempt at such seizure or control) made by any person or persons on board the Aircraft acting without the consent of
Grantor. 

  
 11 

 (iv) [Reserved] 
 (v) Reports, etc. 
 Grantor will furnish to Collateral Agent (A) on or prior
to the date of execution of the Security Agreement Supplement that includes hereunder the Airframe or Engine to which such insurance relates, insurance certificates describing in reasonable detail the insurance maintained by Grantor as required
pursuant to this Section 3.3(k), (B) prior to the cancellation, lapse or expiration of the insurance policies required pursuant to this Section 3.3(k), evidence of renewal of such insurance policies, and (C) on or prior to the
date of execution of the Security Agreement Supplement that includes hereunder the Airframe or Engine to which such insurance relates and on or before the renewal dates of the insurance policies carried by Grantor pursuant to this
Section 3.3(k), a report signed by a firm of aircraft insurance brokers, not affiliated with Grantor, appointed by Grantor and reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent, stating the opinion of such firm that all premiums in connection with
the insurance then due have been paid and the insurance then carried and maintained on each Aircraft complies with the terms hereof and, in the case of renewal insurance, that such renewal insurance will on and after the effective date thereof so
comply with the terms hereof. Grantor will instruct such firm to give prompt written advice to Collateral Agent (1) of such firm’s receipt of any notice of cancellation of the insurance policies, or notice of a change in the insurance
policies which would, in such firm’s judgment, adversely change the statements set forth in the insurance certificates described in clause (A) of this Section 3.3(k)(v), (2) if any premiums are not paid to such firm by Grantor as
agreed between Grantor and the applicable insurer(s), after giving effect to the procedures and/or terms that exist between such insurer(s) and such firm from time to time regarding the payment of premiums, (3) upon application by Collateral
Agent, of the premium payment situation, (4) if such firm ceases to be the insurance broker to Grantor, (5) within fourteen (14) days following such firm’s receipt of a written request from Collateral Agent not later than one
month before expiration of the insurance policies, if such firm has not received renewal instructions from Grantor, and (6) of any other act or omission on the part of Grantor of which it has knowledge and which would in such firm’s
opinion invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in any material part, any insurance on any Aircraft. Grantor will also instruct such firm to advise Collateral Agent in writing at least 30 days prior to the termination or cancellation of, or
material adverse change in, such insurance carried and maintained on each Aircraft pursuant to this Section 3.3(k) (or such lesser period as may be applicable in the case of war risk coverage). 

(vi) Right to Pay Premiums. 
 Collateral Agent, as agent for and on behalf of itself and the Additional Insureds shall have the rights but not the obligations of an additional named insured. None of Collateral Agent, any other Secured
Party or any other Additional Insureds shall have any obligation to pay any premium, commission, assessment or call due on any such insurance (including reinsurance). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of cancellation of any insurance due
to the nonpayment of premiums, each of Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and the other Additional Insureds shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay any such premium in respect of each Aircraft that is due in respect of the
coverage pursuant to this Agreement and to maintain such coverage, as Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties or the other Additional Insureds may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, Grantor shall, upon
demand, reimburse Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and the other Additional Insureds for amounts so paid by them. 

(l) Holding Out. 
 Grantor agrees that it and the other Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries will not at any time represent or hold out any Secured Party or any Affiliate of any of any Secured Party (and will

  
 12 

 
use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Secured Party or any Affiliate of any Secured Party is at any time represented or held out by any other Affiliate) as being in any way
connected or associated with any operation of any Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, any Rotor Blade, or any Part or any other operations or carriage undertaken by Grantor. 
 (m) No Pledging of Credit. 
 Grantor is not authorized to, and agrees that
it will not purport to, pledge the credit of Collateral Agent or any Secured Party for any maintenance, service, repairs, or overhauls of, modifications to, or changes or alterations in, any Airframe, any Engine, any Rotor, any Rotor Blade, or any
Part, or for any other purpose whatsoever. 
 Section 3.4 [Reserved]. 

Section 3.5 Agreement Regarding Engines. 
 Collateral Agent hereby agrees for the benefit of agent or secured party of any engine (other than any Engine) or of any airframe (other than any Airframe) leased to Grantor or purchased by Grantor
subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, which lease or conditional sale or other security agreement (in the case of any such airframe) also covers an engine or engines owned by agent under such lease or subject to a security
interest in favor of the secured party under such conditional sale or other security agreement, that Collateral Agent will not acquire or claim, as against such agent or secured party, any right, title or interest in any such engine as the result of
such engine being installed on any Airframe at any time while such engine is owned by such agent or is subject to such conditional sale or other security agreement or security interest in favor of such secured party. 

Section 3.6 Quiet Enjoyment. 
 Collateral Agent covenants that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantor’s possession, use and quiet enjoyment of each Aircraft in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, the Indenture and each other Secured Document shall not be interrupted by Collateral Agent (or any Person lawfully claiming through Collateral Agent). 

Section 3.7 Inspection. 
 At all reasonable times and intervals as Collateral Agent may designate and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with reasonable prior notice to Grantor and during
regular business hours, Collateral Agent or its authorized representatives may at their own expense and risk (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event Grantor shall bear such expense and risk) conduct a visual
walk-around inspection of any Aircraft and any Engine (including a visual walk-around inspection of any Aircraft during any “C” check or other heavy maintenance) and may inspect the books and records of Grantor relating to the operation
and maintenance thereof and Grantor shall provide copies of such books and records to Collateral Agent or its authorized representatives at its or their reasonable request; provided that (a) such representatives shall be fully insured to
the reasonable satisfaction of Grantor by Collateral Agent with respect to any risks incurred in connection with any such inspection, (b) any such inspection shall be subject to the safety, security and workplace rules applicable at the
location where such inspection is conducted and any applicable governmental rules or regulations, and (c) in the case of an inspection during a maintenance visit, such inspection shall not interfere with the normal conduct of such maintenance
visit or extend the time required for such maintenance visit or, in any event, at any time interfere with the use or operation of any Airframe or any Engine or with the normal conduct of Grantor’s business. 

  
 13 

 In addition to any inspection as provided hereunder, upon each request of Collateral Agent
to Grantor made not more than two times in a calendar year, Grantor will make available to Collateral Agent information with respect to the cycles and hours of operation of the Airframes and Engines and the status of the time controlled components
of the Engines. 
 If requested by Collateral Agent, Grantor shall provide the date (if then scheduled) upon which any Airframe
undergoes its next scheduled major check and, with respect to any Engine, the next scheduled off such Airframe maintenance, and shall advise Collateral Agent of the name and location (if then known) of the relevant maintenance performer. 

No liability or obligation will be incurred by Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, as the case may be, by reason of non-exercise
by it of the inspection rights referred to in this Section 3.7. Any viewing of any Aircraft by Collateral Agent, or any of its representatives, as the case may be, shall be for such Person’s information purposes only, and there shall be no
inference or implication therefrom that Grantor is in compliance with its obligations under the Indenture or this Agreement. 

Section 3.8 Additional Airframes and Engines. 
 So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least 30 days’ prior notice to Collateral Agent to, or otherwise if
required by any Secured Document as and when so required, Grantor shall, subject to the Lien of this Agreement, add one or more additional Airframes or Engines (“Additional Collateral”) as Collateral. In such event, immediately upon
the effectiveness thereof on the date set forth in such notice or when so required, and without further act, the Additional Collateral shall be subjected to the Lien created by this Agreement free and clear of Liens (other than Liens of First Lien
Agent). Upon the addition of any Additional Collateral, (a) Grantor, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide the following documents: (1) (i) a Security Agreement Supplement covering the Additional Collateral which shall have
been duly filed for recordation or otherwise duly made of record with the FAA and the International Registry and (ii) such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements as are deemed necessary or desirable by counsel for Collateral Agent to
perfect Collateral Agent’s Lien and security interests in the Additional Collateral; (2) satisfactory evidence as to the compliance with Section 3.3(k) hereof with respect to such Additional Collateral, as applicable; (3) an
opinion, satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent, of counsel to Grantor to the effect that (x) the applicable Security Agreement Supplement constitutes an effective instrument for the subjection of the applicable Additional
Collateral, if any, to the Lien of this Agreement, all documents executed and delivered by Grantor in connection therewith have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Grantor and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of, and are
enforceable against, Grantor in accordance with their respective terms; and (B) an opinion of qualified FAA counsel, with a supporting priority search certificate, as to the registration with the International Registry referred to above and the
due recordation of the Security Agreement Supplement and all other documents or instruments with the FAA, the International Registry, or such other agency or registrar, the recordation of which is necessary to perfect and protect the rights of
Collateral Agent in the Additional Collateral; (4)(i) the applicable Additional Collateral shall be duly subjected to the Lien of this Agreement free and clear of Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and there shall have been registered with the
International Registry a sale to Grantor of such Additional Collateral and the International Interest for the benefit of Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the applicable Security Agreement Supplement, (ii) the applicable Additional
Collateral shall have been duly certified by the FAA as to type and airworthiness in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) application for registration of the Additional Collateral in accordance with Section 3.3(a) shall
have been duly made with the FAA; and (5) an appraisal reasonably satisfactory to it with respect to the applicable Additional Collateral and (B) chain of title evidence for each Additional Collateral in form satisfactory to Collateral
Agent (which may include bills of sale or, in the absence of a bill of sale, an invoice listing the serial number for such 

  
 14 

 
Additional Collateral to the extent that it is an Engine, from the manufacturer of such Engine to Grantor), and (b) Grantor shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent such other documents
and shall take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Collateral Agent in connection with adding such Additional Collateral to the Lien of this Agreement. 
 Section 3.9 Permitted Foreign Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Secured Document, any Aircraft may be operated by Grantor in and located in
foreign jurisdictions from time to time and, in connection therewith upon Grantor’s written request, made not less than 10 days in advance, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (i) the
deregistration of such Aircraft shall be permitted hereunder to the extent permitted by Section 10.03(e) of the Indenture and (ii) Collateral Agent will, at Grantor’s expense, make or cause to be made any filings at the request of
Grantor to cause Collateral Agent’s Lien in such Aircraft to be removed from the FAA registry; provided that the Lien in respect of such Aircraft shall only be released or unperfected to the extent the corresponding Credit Agreement
Liens are released or become unperfected, as applicable.
 SECTION 4. REMEDIES OF COLLATERAL AGENT UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

 Section 4.1 Remedies with Respect to Collateral. (a) Remedies Available. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, this Agreement shall be in default, and Collateral Agent may, and upon the instruction of the Required Lenders shall, do one or more of the following but without
any duty to account to Grantor with respect to such action or inaction: (A) demand in writing that Grantor, at Grantor’s expense, deliver promptly, and Grantor shall deliver promptly, all or such part of any Airframe or any Engine or any
other Collateral to Collateral Agent or its designee or, Collateral Agent, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of any Airframe or any Engine or any other Collateral are located or are supposed to be located, search for
Collateral and take immediate possession of and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise, and without demand or notice or liability of any kind whatsoever; and/or (B) if at the time such action may be lawful and always subject to
compliance with any mandatory legal requirements, either with or without taking possession, and either before or after taking possession and without instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, and having first given notice of such sale in
accordance with the Security Agreement to Grantor at least 10 days prior to the date of such sale, and any other notice which may be required by Law, sell and dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or interest therein, free and clear of any
rights or claims of Grantor, at public auction or private sale, in one lot as an entirety or in separate lots, and either for cash or on credit and on such terms as Collateral Agent may determine, and at any place (whether or not it be the location
of the Collateral or any part thereof) and time designated in the notice above referred to. Any such sale may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale, or for any such adjourned sale, without
further notice, and Collateral Agent or a Secured Party may bid and become the purchaser at any such sale and each Secured Party shall be entitled at any sale to credit against any purchase price bid at such sale by such Secured Party all or any
part of any unpaid Secured Obligation owing to such Secured Party secured by the Lien of this Agreement; (C) hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of such Airframe or such Engine as Collateral Agent, in its sole
discretion, may determine, all free and clear of any rights or claims of Grantor; and/or (D) exercise any or all of other rights and powers and pursue any and all other remedies accorded to a secured party under Applicable Law or the Cape Town
Convention, including to recover judgment in its own name as Collateral Agent against the Collateral and to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, to exclude Grantor and all Persons claiming under it wholly or partly therefrom, and
including to exercise any other remedy of a secured party under the Code (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought). 

  
 15 

 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent may, in its
sole discretion, from time to time, at the expense of Grantor, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper. In each such case,
Collateral Agent shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of Grantor relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as Collateral Agent shall deem
appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, insurance, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as Collateral Agent may
determine; and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and
profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments
which Collateral Agent may be required or may elect, to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the Collateral or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers and accountants
to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and books and records of Grantor at the employment of one or more Persons to remarket the Collateral for sale or lease or to otherwise manage the Collateral), and all other payments which
Collateral Agent may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Collateral Agent, and of all Persons engaged or employed by Collateral Agent. 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the request of Collateral Agent, Grantor shall promptly execute and
deliver to Collateral Agent such instruments of title and other documents as Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enable Collateral Agent or an agent or representative designated by Collateral Agent, at such time or times and place or
places as Collateral Agent may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which Collateral Agent shall at the time be entitled hereunder, to change the registration of any Aircraft, to deregister any Aircraft or otherwise
to facilitate the exercise of the above-mentioned rights and remedies. Without limiting the foregoing, upon Collateral Agent’s request, Grantor shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent an Irrevocable De-Registration and Export Request
Authorization (“IDERA”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, for any Aircraft, and Collateral Agent may use or otherwise file, record, and/or register such IDERA as it may elect during the existence of an
Event of Default, provided that Collateral Agent shall give 3 days written notice to Grantor prior to using or otherwise filing, recording, and/or registering such IDERA. If Grantor shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments
and documents after such request by Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent may obtain a judgment conferring on Collateral Agent the right to immediate possession and requiring Grantor to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to Collateral
Agent, to the entry of which judgment Grantor hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so. 

Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the right of Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to receive all amounts owing to such Secured
Party as and when the same may be due. 
 The Collateral Agent shall exercise rights and remedies and sell the Collateral under
this Agreement only at the direction of the holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Obligations outstanding at the time of such action delivered in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including
without limitation, after such holders have provided indemnity and security satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent for any losses, liabilities and expenses that may be incurred in connection therewith; provided that if the
Collateral Agent shall not have received appropriate instructions within 10 days of a request from the applicable Secured Parties (or such shorter period as reasonably may be specified in such request or as may be necessary under the circumstances),
it may, but shall be under no duty to take or refrain from taking such action as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction. 

  
 16 

 (b) Collateral Agent may proceed to protect and enforce this Agreement by suit or suits or
proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted; or for foreclosure hereunder, or for the appointment of a
receiver or receivers for the Collateral or any part thereof, or for the recovery of judgment for the indebtedness secured by the Lien created under this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under
applicable law. 
 (c) Any proceeds received by Collateral Agent after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be applied by
Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 27 of the Security Agreement. 
 Section 4.2 Remedies Cumulative.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Collateral Agent or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and
remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or by the Notes Documents, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to
time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Collateral Agent, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or
thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Collateral Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right, power or
remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of Grantor or to be an acquiescence therein. 

Section 4.3 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to Collateral Agent, then and in every such case
Grantor and Collateral Agent shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of Collateral Agent shall continue,
as if no such proceedings had been undertaken (but otherwise without prejudice). 
 Section 4.4 Intentionally
Omitted. 
 Section 4.5 Further Assurances. Grantor, at its own cost and expense, shall take all such actions as
Collateral Agent from time to time may request in its reasonable discretion, so as to ensure that Collateral Agent has or obtains the fullest benefit, protection, and advantages under the Cape Town Convention. The parties hereto agree with respect
to such matters, as follows: 
 (a) In this Agreement, the Convention and the Aircraft Protocol shall be read and interpreted
together as a single instrument as required by Article 6(1) of the Cape Town Convention. In this Section 4.5 the following expressions have the respective meanings set forth in Article 1 of the Convention:

international interest, 
 (vi) registry authority, 
 (vii) security agreement, 
 (viii) State of registry, 

(b) Grantor, as grantor, and Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as secured party, agree that: 

(i) each Airframe of each Aircraft is an airframe and, accordingly, an aircraft object, and each Engine is an aircraft engine and,
accordingly, an aircraft object, to which this Agreement relates for the purposes of the Cape Town Convention, and each Aircraft has the model, manufacturer’s serial number, and, as of the date hereof, U.S. registration mark specified on Annex
A for such Aircraft; 
 (ii) the International Interest of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as secured
party, as a creditor and chargee under a security agreement, in each of the Airframes and the Engines, shall promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement (and thereafter, promptly following the execution and delivery of a Security
Agreement Supplement) be registered, with the consent of Grantor, as grantor, and of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as secured party, as an International Interest under the Cape Town Convention in each of the Airframes and
the Engines and each such registration may be amended or extended prior to its expiry by Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as secured party, alone, consent of Grantor being deemed given hereby; 

(iii) for the purposes of Article 17(1) of the Convention each of the events which constitutes an Event of Default is an event that
constitute a default or otherwise give rise to the rights and remedies specified in Articles 12 to 15 and 20 of the Convention; 

(iv) Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as secured party, shall have the remedies referred to in

the Cape Town Convention which relate back to such Article, the courts sitting in the County of New York, New York or in Dublin, Ireland shall have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any claims brought under the Cape Town Convention in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.12 of this Agreement;

Aircraft Protocol in connection with a proposal to procure the de-registration and export of any Aircraft without a court order. Grantor expressly agrees to permit Collateral Agent to obtain from any applicable court, pending final

  
 18 

 
determination of any claim resulting from an Event of Default hereunder, speedy relief in the form of any of the orders specified in Article 13 of the Convention and Article X of the Aircraft
Protocol as Collateral Agent shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to any procedural requirements prescribed by Applicable Laws. 
 (vii) Grantor shall cooperate with Collateral Agent, as secured party, at Grantor’s expense with respect to effecting registration pursuant to the Cape Town Convention of any agreement related to the
ranking of priority between the various International Interests and/or the interests of Grantor, as grantor, Collateral Agent, as secured party, save that the Lien of Collateral Agent ranks prior to all other interests. 

(c) Except to the extent expressly provided herein, any terms of this Agreement or the other Secured Documents which expressly
incorporate any provisions of the Cape Town Convention shall prevail in the case of any conflict with any other provision contained herein. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that for purposes of the Cape Town Convention (to the

delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. 
 Section 5.10 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained herein and in the other Secured Documents shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Grantor and its
successors and permitted assigns (provided, however, that Grantor may not assign this Agreement or any rights, obligation or duties hereunder without Collateral Agent’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely
void ab initio), and Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns, and each other Secured Party and its successors and permitted assigns, all as provided herein or in the other applicable Secured Documents. Any request, notice,

Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified only in accordance with the provisions of Section 21 of the Security Agreement. 
 Section 5.14 Limitation on Collateral Agent’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. Collateral Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its
control. The Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Collateral Agent, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights
against prior or any other parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and
shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. 
 Section 5.15 Revival and
Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Secured Obligations by Grantor or any Guarantor or the transfer to Collateral Agent of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any
state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (each, a
“Voidable Transfer”), and if Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any
such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
related thereto, the liability of Grantor and each Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made. 

Section 5.16 Concerning Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent acts hereunder solely as Notes Collateral Agent as in the
Indenture and the Security Agreement provided on behalf of the Secured Parties and not in its individual capacity. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall
be a reference to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties. Sections 13 and 28 of the Security Agreement and Section 10.11 of the Indenture are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof.
Wilmington Trust, National Association is entering into this Agreement not in its individual capacity, but solely in its capacity as 

  
 23 

 
collateral agent under the Indenture, and shall not be personally liable hereunder in its individual capacity, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the performance of its
duties and obligations hereunder, Wilmington Trust, National Association shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges and immunities afforded it in the Indenture. 
 Section 5.17 Additional Cape Town Convention Provisions. 
 (a) Grantor
agrees and acknowledges this Agreement creates and constitutes an International Interest in the Collateral. Grantor hereby undertakes to perform all of its obligations hereunder and under any contracts or agreements constituting part of the
Collateral. Grantor shall establish a valid and existing account with the International Registry, appoint an Administrator and/or a Professional User acceptable to Collateral Agent to make registration in regards to the Collateral. On, or within a
reasonable time after the date hereof, Grantor’s applicable Contracts of Sale shall be registered and searchable in the International Registry, but subordinate to the registration of the International Interest created by this Agreement. Grantor
shall not register any prospective or current International Interest or Contract of Sale (or any amendment, modification, supplement, subordination of subrogation thereof) with the International Registry (other than with respect to the Credit
Facilities) except as permitted by this Agreement or each other Secured Document, Grantor shall not execute or deliver any IDERA to any party other than Collateral Agent unless Collateral Agent agrees in writing or as otherwise permitted by this
Agreement or each other Secured Document. Grantor further represents and confirms it is situated in a Contracting State (as that term is used in the Convention) as contemplated under the Cape Town Convention, and Grantor has the power to dispose of
the Collateral, as contemplated by the Cape Town Convention. 
 (b) The parties hereto agree that for the purposes of the
definition of Prospective International Interest in the Cape Town Convention, the purchase of the Notes under the Indenture shall constitute the stated event upon which Grantor has created or provided for an International Interest in the Aircraft
Objects (as such term is defined in the Cape Town Convention). In addition, without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Grantor agrees that a Prospective International Interest registration shall be made on the International
Registry with respect to each Engine, regardless of whether it is installed on an Airframe. 
 Section 5.18 Security
Agreement; Indenture. The provisions of this Agreement are supplemental to the provisions of the Security Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved between Section 3.9
hereof and the provisions of the Indenture, the Indenture shall control and govern. 

  
 24 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by
their respective officers, as the case may be, thereunto duly authorized, as of the day and year first above written.

herein, each Lender commits to make Loans (each such Loan made under this Section 2.1, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time during the period commencing on the Original Effective Date and ending on the Maturity
Date (each such commitment, a “Commitment”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount set forth beside such Lender’s name in Schedule A under the heading “Commitment”, provided that any Revolving Loans
made by any Lender as requested by the Borrower will not result in (i) such Lender’s Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment, or (ii) the sum of the total Exposure exceeding either the total Commitment or the Borrowing Base.
Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans. In addition, the Borrower may request from time to time that the Commitment be increased in an
aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000, provided that (i) the Agent and any Lender providing any portion of any such increase must consent in writing thereto (it being agreed that no Lender is required to provide any such Commitment
increase), (ii) no increase in the Commitments shall be made if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result after giving effect to such increase, (iii) each such increase shall be in a minimum
principal amount of $2,500,000, (iv) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a one-time fee in an amount equal to 0.2% of the amount of each such Commitment increase, (v) the aggregate principal amount of all
such Commitment increases shall not exceed $10,000,000. The pro rata share of each Lender’s Commitment hereunder shall automatically increase as a result of any permitted increase in the Commitment hereunder, and Schedule A shall be
amended to reflect any such permitted increase. 
 2.2 Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with
their respective Commitments. 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. 
 (b) Subject to the Letter of Credit Sub-Line
limitation, the Borrowing Base limitations and the other limitations on Loans and Borrowings as provided in this Agreement, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Canadian Prime Loans, Bankers Acceptances, B/A Equivalent Loans, Base Rate
Loans, LIBO Rate Loans and/or the delivery of Letters of Credit Guarantees as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. 

(c) Each Lender may at its option make any LIBO Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or 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. At the commencement of each
Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of Cdn.$500,000 and not less than Cdn.$1,000,000. At the commencement of each Contract Period for any B/A Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of Cdn.$500,000 and not less than Cdn.$1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be
more than a total of five B/A Borrowings or five LIBO Rate Borrowings outstanding.

 2.3 Requests for Borrowings. 

(a) To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request by written Borrowing Request (i) in the case of a
LIBO Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a B/A Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, two Business Days before the date
of the proposed Borrowing, or (iii) in the case of a Canadian Prime Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, 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 may be given not later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (iv) in the case of the issuance of a
Letter of Credit Guarantee in accordance with Section 2.18, not later than 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, five (5) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing. The Agent and each Lender are entitled to rely and act upon any
written 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 Agent or any Lender has advanced funds or
made a B/A Borrowing or issued a Letter a Credit Guarantee based on such written Borrowing Request. Each such written Borrowing Request shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B and shall specify the following information: 

 

	 	(i)	the aggregate amount of each requested Borrowing and the Class thereof; 

  

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

  

	 	(iii)	whether such Borrowing is to be a Canadian Prime Borrowing, a B/A Borrowing, a Base Rate Borrowing, a LIBO Rate Borrowing, the issuance of a Letter of Credit Guarantee
in accordance with Section 2.18; 

  

	 	(iv)	in the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, the 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 

 

	 	(v)	the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

 (b) 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 LIBO Rate Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of a one month duration. 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 a one month duration. 

  
 - 32 -

 (c) 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 continue such Borrowing and, in the case of (i) a LIBO Rate Borrowing, may elect a new Interest Period therefor, or (ii) a B/A Borrowing, may
elect a new Contract Period therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.3(c). The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably
among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing in accordance with their Applicable Percentage, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. To make an election pursuant to this
Section 2.3(c), the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such election in the manner and by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3(a) if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such
election to be made on the effective date of such election. In addition to the information specified in Section 2.3(a), each Borrowing Request shall specify the Borrowing to which such request applies and, if different options are being elected
with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing. 
 (d) In the
absence of a timely and proper election with regard to (i) LIBO Rate Borrowings, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBO Rate Borrowings to Base Rate Borrowings on the last day of the Interest Period of the relevant
LIBO Rate Borrowings, and (ii) 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. 

(e) The Agent shall not incur any liability to the Borrower as a result of acting in accordance with any notice or request referred to in
this Section 2.3, which notice or request the Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an officer duly authorized by the Borrower to request Loans on its behalf or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.3, and
the crediting of Loans to the Borrower’s disbursement accounts, or transmittal to such Person or other bank account as the Borrower shall direct, shall conclusively establish the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loans as provided
herein. 
 (f) Except to the extent otherwise permitted to the contrary hereunder, any Borrowing Request made pursuant to in
this Section 2.3 shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith. 

2.4 Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) 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 2:00 p.m., Toronto time, to the account of the Agent
most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower and designated by the
Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. The Borrower shall satisfy Reimbursement Obligations promptly as they arise by way of a request for a Loan and all Loans made hereunder to satisfy Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter
of Credit Guarantee shall be remitted by the Agent to the Issuing Bank in accordance with such Letter of Credit Guarantee (unless the Issuing Bank has already been fully reimbursed directly by the Borrower in respect of drawings under the Letter of
Credit which is the subject of such Letter of Credit Guarantee). 

  
 - 33 -

 (b) The Agent may, upon notice given by the Agent no later than 2:00 p.m., Toronto time
on any Settlement Date, request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated with respect to the aggregate Commitments then outstanding) of
the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans made by the Agent from the preceding Settlement Date to the date of such notice. Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans and to make the settlements pursuant to this Section 2.4
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defence or other right which any such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Agent, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (ii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Without limiting the liability
and obligation of each Lender to make such advances, the Borrower authorizes the Agent to charge the Borrower’s Operating Account to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the amount of any such
deficiency. To the extent that any Lender has failed to fund all such payments and Revolving Loans, the Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Lender’s pro rata share of all payments received from the
Borrower. 
 (c) The Agent, for the account of the Lenders, shall disburse all amounts to the Borrower and shall handle all
collections. It is understood that for purposes of advances to the Borrower and for purposes of this Section 2.4, the Agent is using the funds of the Agent. 
 (d) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to any advance to the Borrower that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its share of the Borrowing on
such date available to the Agent, the Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to the Agent on a Settlement Date, and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. A
certificate of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.4 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such Borrowing is not in fact made available to the Agent by
such Lender on the Settlement Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower without prejudice to any rights which the Agent
may have against such Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this shall relieve any Lender which has failed to make available its Applicable Percentage of any borrowing hereunder from its obligation to do so in accordance with the terms hereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate the Agent to make available to the Borrower the full amount of a requested advance when the Agent has any notice (written or otherwise) that any of the Lenders will not advance its Applicable
Percentage thereof. 
 (e) On the Settlement Date, the Agent and the Lenders shall each remit to the other, in immediately
available funds, all amounts necessary so as to ensure that, as of the Settlement Date, the Lenders shall have their Applicable Percentage share of all outstanding Obligations. 

(f) The Agent shall forward to each Lender, at the end of each calendar month, a copy of the account statement rendered by the Agent to
the Borrower. 
 (g) The Agent shall, after receipt of any interest and fees earned under this Agreement, promptly remit to the
Lenders their Applicable Percentage of any (i) fees they are entitled to receive, and (ii) interest computed at the rate and as provided for in this Agreement on all outstanding amounts advanced by the Lenders on each Settlement Date,
prior to adjustment, that are subsequent to the last remittance by the Agent to the Lenders of such interest amounts. 

  
 - 34 -

 2.5 Interest. 
 (a) 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 0.25%. 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 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus 0.25%. The Loans comprising each LIBO Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant Interest Period over a year of 360 days) at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such
LIBO Rate Borrowing plus 1.75%. 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. 
 (b) If there is a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all amounts outstanding hereunder (including all Loans and all Letter of Credit Exposure shall bear interest, after as well
as before judgment, 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. 
 (c)
Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on the earlier of (i) each applicable Interest Payment Date, and (ii) the date of termination of the 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. 

(d) 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, LIBO Rate or B/A Rate shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (e) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or
any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day, 365-day or 366-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, 365 or 366, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed
reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. 

  
 - 35 -

 (f) 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 any 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 Applicable 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: 

 

	 	(i)	first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the affected Lender under Section 2.5; and 

 

	 	(ii)	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). 

 (g) Any Loan that is outstanding on the
Effective Date under the Existing Credit Agreement that is comprised of a Canadian Prime Borrowing shall, as of the Effective Date, bear interest in accordance with Section 2.5(a) hereof. 

(h) Any Loan that is outstanding on the Effective Date under the Existing Credit Agreement that is comprised of a B/A Borrowing or a LIBO
Rate Borrowing shall continue to be subject to any fees and interest calculated in accordance with the Existing Credit Agreement until the expiration date of the applicable Contract Period, or Interest Period, as applicable. 

(i) Any Letter of Credit issued under the Existing Credit Agreement which remains outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue to be
subject to participation fees and fronting fees determined in accordance with the Existing Credit Agreement until the expiration date of such Letter of Credit. If any such Letter of Credit is extended, such Letter of Credit shall be subject to
participation fees and fronting fees under this Agreement. 
 2.6 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

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

(b) The Borrower may, upon five Business Days prior written notice to the Agent, permanently cancel any unused portion of the
Commitments, provided, however, that the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on the date on which such cancellation becomes effective, the Early Termination Fee in respect of the cancelled portion of the Commitments. 

(c) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and unless the Commitments have been earlier terminated, the Commitments
shall be available hereunder until the Maturity Date. 
 2.7 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to
pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date that the Commitment is terminated pursuant to Section 2.6(b) or Section 7.1.

  
 - 36 -

 2.8 Evidence of Debt. 

(a) 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. 

(b) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type thereof
and, in the cases of B/A Borrowings and LIBO Rate Loans, the relevant Contract Period or Interest Period, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.8(a) and (b) 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 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 Agent and any Lender, the records maintained by the Agent shall govern. 
 (d) Any Lender may request that Loans (other than B/A Borrowings) 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 Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all
times 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. 

(a) Mandatory Borrowing Base Prepayments. If at any time the aggregate Exposure of all Lenders is in excess of the Borrowing Base,
the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the amount of such excess to be applied (i) first, in satisfaction of all Reimbursement Obligations, if any, outstanding at such time, (ii) second, as a
prepayment of the Revolving Loans, and (iii) third, as Cover for any remaining Letter of Credit Exposure and Bankers Acceptances in an amount of such remaining excess. 

  
 - 37 -

 (b) Currency Fluctuations. If, at any time, the Canadian $ Equivalent of the Loans
made by any Lender to the Borrower under any Credit exceeds the Commitment of such Lender under such Credit (any such excess being referred to in this Section as an “Excess Amount”), then the Borrower will repay to the Agent, for
the account of each applicable Lender, an amount equal to the Excess Amount with respect to such Lender. If the amount of any Excess Amount with respect to any Lender is equal to or greater than 3% of the Commitment of such Lender for the applicable
Credit, then the repayment of the Excess Amount to such Lender shall be made by the Borrower within one Business Day after the Agent requests such repayment. If the amount of any Excess Amount with respect to any Lender is less than 3% of the
Commitment of such Lender for such credit, then the repayment of the Excess Amount to such Lender shall be made on the next Quarterly Date. The Agent shall request repayment of any Excess Amount forthwith upon request therefor by any Lender, but the
Agent is not otherwise required to monitor Excess Amount levels or to request repayment thereof. 
 (c) Notice by
Borrower. Each prepayment notice provided by the Borrower hereunder in respect of any permanent repayment or prepayment hereunder shall be in a form acceptable to the Agent and shall be irrevocable. 

(d) Notice by Agent. Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.9, the Agent shall promptly notify
each applicable Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment and the corresponding Early Termination Fee, if any. 
 2.10 Fees. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account
of and distribution to each Lender rateably in accordance with each such Lender’s Applicable Percentage a standby fee for the period commencing on the date of this Agreement to and including the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the
Commitments shall have been terminated entirely) computed at a rate of 0.35% per annum on the average daily excess amount of the aggregate Commitments over the aggregate Exposure. The standby fees on the Commitments shall be calculated monthly
in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month (and on the date on which the Commitments terminate) and each such calculated amount shall be payable on the first Business Day of the immediately following calendar month (or on the date on
which the Commitments terminate, as the case may be). All standby fees shall be computed 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). 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender rateably in accordance with each
Lender’s Applicable Percentage, a guarantee fee (an “LC Guarantee Fee”) with respect to the provision of Letter of Credit Guarantees, at the rate of 1.50% per annum on the average daily amount of the Letter of Credit
Exposure during the period from and including the date of this Agreement (or the date on which any Letter of Credit Exposure first exists to but excluding the latter of: (i) the date of termination of the Commitments and (ii) the date on
which there ceases to be any Letter of Credit Exposure. All such LC Guarantee Fees (the “LC Fees”) shall be calculated monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month (and on the date on which the Commitments
terminate) and each such calculated amount shall be payable on the first Business Day of the immediately following calendar month (or on the date on which the Commitments terminate, as the case may be); provided that all LC Fees, together with all
Standard LC Fees (as defined below), accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All LC Fees payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be computed 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). The Borrower also agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank’s standard fees
(the “Standard LC Fees”) with respect to the issuing, administration, handling, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Such standard fees shall be payable within 10 days after
demand by the Agent or the Issuing Bank. 

  
 - 38 -

 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, on the date of this
Agreement and on the first Business Day of each calendar month thereafter an administrative management fee in an amount equal to Cdn.$1,500, which the Borrower acknowledges and agrees shall be fully earned when paid. 

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, the Agent’s standard charges, fees, costs and expenses for its
field examinations, verifications and audits in an amount equal to $1,200 per person per day plus such field examiner’s and auditor’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. 

(e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in
writing between the Borrower and the Agent. 
 (f) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Agent, for its own account or for distribution 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 B/A Borrowings. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may request a Borrowing by presenting drafts for acceptance and purchase as Bankers Acceptances by the Lenders. 

(b) No Contract Period with respect to a B/A Borrowing shall extend beyond the Maturity Date. The Borrower shall not be entitled to
obtain or roll over any B/A Borrowings at any time that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 (c)
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 Bankers Acceptances in the form requested by such Lender. In this respect, it is each Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of Bankers
Acceptances for acceptance under this Agreement. The Borrower recognizes and agrees that all Bankers Acceptances signed and/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 Bankers Acceptances 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 Bankers Acceptances 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. Each Lender shall maintain a record with respect to Bankers Acceptances (i) received by it in blank hereunder, (ii) voided by it for any reason,
(iii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and (iv) cancelled at their respective maturities. On request by or on behalf of the Borrower, a Lender shall cancel all forms of Bankers Acceptances 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 Agent, the Borrower shall deliver
to the 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. 

  
 - 39 -

 (d) Drafts of the Borrower to be accepted as Bankers Acceptances hereunder shall be signed
as set out in this Section 2.11. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any Bankers Acceptances may no longer be an authorized signatory for any Lender or the Borrower at the date of issuance of a Bankers Acceptances, 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 Bankers Acceptances so signed shall be binding on the Borrower. 

(e) Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request specifying a Borrowing by way of Bankers Acceptances, the Agent shall so advise the
Lenders and shall advise each Lender of the aggregate face amount of the Bankers Acceptances to be accepted by it and the applicable Contract Period (which shall be identical for all Lenders). The aggregate face amount of the Bankers Acceptances 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.$500,000, and such face amount shall be in the Lenders’ pro rata portions of such Borrowing, provided that the Agent
may in its sole discretion increase or reduce any Lender’s portion of such B/A Borrowing to the nearest Cdn.$100,000 without reducing the overall Commitments. 
 (f) Upon acceptance of a Bankers Acceptance by a Lender, such Lender shall purchase, or arrange for the purchase of, each Bankers Acceptance from the Borrower at the Discount Rate for such Lender
applicable to such Bankers Acceptance accepted by it and provide to the 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 Bankers
Acceptance accepted by such Lender shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable by such Lender under this Section 2.11. 
 (g) Each Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Bankers Acceptances accepted and purchased by it. 

(h) If a Lender is not a chartered bank under the Bank Act (Canada) or if a Lender notifies the Agent in writing that it is
otherwise unable to accept Bankers Acceptances, such Lender will, 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 will provide to the Agent the Discount Proceeds of such B/A Equivalent Loan for the account of the Borrower. Each such B/A Equivalent Loan will 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 will 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. 

  
 - 40 -

 (i) With respect to each B/A Borrowing, at or before 10:00 a.m. two Business Days
before the last day of the Contract Period of such B/A Borrowings, the Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing, if the Borrower intends to issue Bankers Acceptances on such last day of the Contract Period to provide for payment of such maturing
B/A Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to notify the Agent of its intention to issue Bankers Acceptances on such last day of the Contract Period, the Borrower shall provide payment to the 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 thereof. If the Borrower fails to make such payment, such maturing B/A Borrowing 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 aggregate amount of such B/A Borrowing. 
 (j) The Borrower waives presentment for
payment and any other defence to payment of any amounts due to a Lender in respect of a Bankers Acceptances accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of such Bankers Acceptances being held, at the
maturity thereof, by such Lender in its own right, and the Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if such Lender, as holder, sues the Borrower on the Bankers Acceptances for payment of the amount payable by the Borrower thereunder. On the
last day of the Contract Period of a Bankers Acceptances, 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 Bankers Acceptances
the full face amount of such Bankers Acceptances and, after such payment, the Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such Bankers Acceptances and such Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments
due to third parties under, such Bankers Acceptances. 
 (k) If a Lender grants a participation in a portion of its rights under
this Agreement to a Participant under Section 9.4(e), 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 Agent or the Lender granting the participation execute and deliver a form of Bankers Acceptances undertaking in favour of such Participant for delivery to such Participant. 

(l) Except as required by any Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, no B/A Borrowing may be repaid by the Borrower prior to
the expiry date of the Contract Period applicable to such B/A Borrowing; provided, however, that the Borrower may defease any B/A Borrowing by depositing with the Agent an amount that is sufficient to repay such B/A Borrowing on the expiry date of
the Contract Period applicable to such B/A Borrowing.

 2.12 Increased Costs; Illegality. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 
  

	 	(i)	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 

  

	 	(ii)	impose on any Lender or the 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 Indemnified Tax or other charge with respect to its LIBO Rate Loans or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or its obligation to make LIBO Rate Loans or any Letter of Credit); 

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

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s, 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 the Issuing
Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy) and such Lender’s desired return on capital, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’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 2.12(b) regardless of the date enacted,
adopted, issued or implemented. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender as specified in Sections 2.12(a) or (b), together with a brief description of the Change of Law, shall be delivered to the Borrower, 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. 

  
 - 42 -

 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation. 
 (e) In the event
that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be reasonably exercised and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) at any time that the current or reasonably expected foreign currency
markets are unusually unstable or that the making or continuance of any Loan denominated in a currency other than Canadian Dollars has become unlawful or materially restricted as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any
Applicable Law, or by any applicable guideline or order (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), then, in any such event, such Lender shall give prompt notice (by telephone and
confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Agent of such determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to the other Lenders). Upon the giving of the notice to the Borrower referred to in this Section 2.12(e), the
Borrower’s right to request (by continuation, conversion or otherwise), and such Lender’s obligation to make, Loans denominated in a currency other than Canadian Dollars shall be immediately suspended, and thereafter any requested
Borrowing of Loans denominated in a currency other than Canadian Dollars shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed to be a request for a Canadian Prime Loan, and if the affected Loan or Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately, or
if permitted by Applicable Law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one Business Day prior written notice to the Agent and the affected Lender, convert each such Loan denominated in a currency other than Canadian Dollars into a
Canadian Prime Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.12(e). 
 (f) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Rate Borrowing: 
  

	 	(i)	the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for
such Interest Period; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or
maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

 then the Agent shall give notice
thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any
Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall
be made as a Base Rate Borrowing; provided that (A) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for LIBO Rate Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby, and
(B) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. 

  
 - 43 -

 2.13 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, or (b) the payment or conversion of any principal of any B/A Borrowing or LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of a
Contract Period or, as applicable, Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (c) the prepayment or conversion of any B/A Borrowing or LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrower 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. 

2.14 Taxes. 
 (a)
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct or withhold
any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) 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 2.14), the Agent, or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deduction or withholding, and
(iii) the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law the full amount deducted or withheld. 
 (b) In addition to the payments by the Borrower required by Section 2.14(a), 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. 

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes paid by the Agent, such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section 2.14) 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 by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 - 44 -

 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a
Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the 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 Agent. 
 (e) If, following the imposition of any Taxes on any payment by the Borrower to
any Lender in respect of which the Borrower is required to make an additional payment pursuant to this Section 2.14, any Lender receives or is granted a credit against or remission for or deduction from or in respect of any Taxes paid by it or
shall obtain any other relief which, in such Lender’s opinion, is both reasonably identifiable and quantifiable by it without involving it in an unacceptable administrative burden (any of the foregoing being a “saving”), such Lender
will reimburse the Borrower with such amount as such Lender shall have concluded, in its absolute discretion but in good faith, to be the amount or value of the relevant saving. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of any Lender
to arrange its affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no Lender shall be under any obligation to claim relief for tax purposes on its corporate profits or otherwise, or to claim such relief in priority to any other claims,
reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or to disclose details of its affairs. Each Lender will notify the Borrower promptly of the receipt by such Lender of any such saving and of such Lender’s opinion as to the amount or value thereof,
and any reimbursement to be made by such Lender will be made promptly on the date of receipt of such saving by such Lender or, if later, on the last date on which the applicable taxation authority would be able in accordance with applicable law to
reclaim or reduce such saving. 
 2.15 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or amounts payable in
respect of Reimbursement Obligations, amounts payable under any of Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or amounts otherwise payable hereunder) prior to 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off
or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the 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 Agent at the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to any indemnities contained herein shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The 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, provided that, in the case of any payment with respect to a LIBO Rate 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 this Section 2.15 in respect of LIBO Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All other payments under this Section 2.15 shall be
made in Canadian Dollars. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to debit the Operating Account to effect any payment due to the Lenders or the Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Any resulting overdraft in such account shall be payable by the
Borrower to the Agent in same day funds. 

  
 - 45 -

 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay
fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees, amounts payable in respect of Repayment Obligations, amounts payable under any of Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 and other amounts payable hereunder, any available funds shall be applied
(i) 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, (ii) second, towards payment of principal and in
satisfaction of Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, rateably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations, and (iii) third, towards payment of amounts payable under any
of Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 and other amounts otherwise payable hereunder. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any
right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on or fees in respect of any of its Revolving Loans or its share of Reimbursement Obligations resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a
greater proportion of the aggregate amount of any principal of or interest on or fees in respect of any of its Revolving Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations than the proportion to which it is entitled, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations owed to other Lenders (as the case may be) to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders rateably taking into account each of the Applicable Percentages in respect of each Lender; provided that (i) 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 (ii) this Section 2.15(c) shall not apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower 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. 
 (d) Unless the Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the 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, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender 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 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). 

  
 - 46 -

 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.15(d), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such
Section 2.15(d) until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 (f) 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. 

2.16 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, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the
“Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the 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 before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Agent of the amount due, the Borrower will, on the date of receipt by the 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 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 Agent is the amount
then due under this Agreement or such other Loan Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which the 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 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 and
the other Loan Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the 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 or any other Loan Document or under any judgment or order. 

2.17 Collection of Accounts. 
 (a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, at its expense, enforce, collect and receive all amounts owing on its Accounts in the ordinary course of its business and any proceeds
it so receives shall be subject to the terms hereof. Any proceeds received by a Credit Party in respect of Accounts, and any cheques, cash, credit card sales and receipts, notes or other instruments or property received by a Credit Party with
respect to any Collateral, shall be held by such Credit Party in trust for the Agent, separate from such Credit Party’s own property and funds, and promptly turned over to the Agent with proper assignments or endorsements by deposit to the
Blocked Accounts. 

  
 - 47 -

 (b) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to at the request of the
Agent: (i) indicate on all of its invoices that funds should be delivered to and deposited in a lock box or a Blocked Account; (ii) direct all of its account debtors to deposit any and all proceeds of Collateral into the lock boxes or the
Blocked Accounts; (iii) irrevocably authorize and direct any bank which maintains any Credit Party’s initial receipt of cash, cheques and other items to promptly wire transfer all available funds to a Blocked Account; and (iv) advise
all such banks of the Agent’s security interest in such funds. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, provide the Agent with prior written notice of any and all deposit accounts opened or to be opened subsequent to the
Original Effective Date. All amounts received by the Agent in payment of Accounts will be credited to the Operating Account when the Agent is advised by its bank of its receipt of “collected funds” at the Agent’s bank account in
Toronto, Ontario on the Business Day of such advise if advised no later than 12:00 noon, Toronto time, or on the next succeeding Business Day if so advised after 12:00 noon, Toronto time. No cheques, drafts or other instrument received by the Agent
shall constitute final payment to the Agent unless and until such instruments have actually been collected. 
 (c) The Borrower
shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, establish and maintain, in its own respective name and at its expense, deposit accounts and lock boxes with such banks as are acceptable to the Agent (the “Blocked Accounts”) into
which the Borrower shall promptly cause to be deposited: (i) all proceeds of Collateral received by any Credit Party, including all amounts payable to any Credit Party from credit card issuers and credit card processors, and (ii) all
amounts on deposit in deposit accounts used by any Credit Party at each of its locations, all as further provided in Section 2.17(b). The banks at which the Blocked Accounts are established and the applicable Credit Parties shall enter into
three-party agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent (the “Blocked Account Agreements”), providing that, among other things, all cash, cheques and items received or deposited in the Blocked Accounts are subject to
Liens in favour of the Agent, that the depository bank has no Lien upon, or right of set off against, the Blocked Accounts and any cash, cheques, items, wires or other funds from time to time on deposit therein, except as otherwise provided in the
Blocked Account Agreements, and that on a daily basis the depository bank will wire, or otherwise transfer, in immediately available funds, all funds received or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to such bank account as the Agent may from time to
time designate for such purpose. The Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that all amounts deposited in such Blocked Accounts and any other funds received and collected by the Agent, whether as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise,
shall be subject to the Liens in favour of the Agent. The Blocked Accounts Agreements will be “springing dominion agreements” and the Agent will be entitled to exercise full dominion and control over the blocked accounts at any time when
Excess Availability is less than the Threshold Amount. 
 2.18 Letters of Credit. In order to assist the Borrower in establishing
Letters of Credit with the Issuing Bank, the Borrower has requested the Agent and the Agent has agreed to execute a Letter of Credit Guarantee subject to the following terms and conditions: 

  
 - 48 -

 (a) Within the limits of the Commitments and the Borrowing Base, and the other limitations
contained in this Agreement, the Agent shall assist the Borrower in obtaining Letters of Credit, denominated in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars, in an amount not to exceed the outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Sub-Line. The Agent’s
assistance for amounts in excess of the limitation set forth herein shall at all times and in all respects be in the Agent’s sole discretion. It is understood that the term, form and purpose of each Letter of Credit and all documentation in
connection therewith, and any amendments, modifications or extensions thereof, must be mutually acceptable to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower and it is further understood the term of each Letter of Credit issued cannot be for a term
that extends beyond the Maturity Date. Any and all outstanding Letter of Credit Guarantees shall be reserved dollar for dollar from the Borrowing Base as an Availability Reserve. Upon the expiry of a Letter of Credit Guarantee, amounts reserved as
an Availability Reserve in respect of such Letter of Credit Guarantee, as the case may be, shall no longer be reserved from the Borrowing Base as an Availability Reserve. 
 (b) The Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, to charge the Borrower’s Operating Account with the amount of any and all indebtedness, liability or obligation of any kind
incurred by the Agent under the Letter of Credit Guarantees at the earlier of (a) payment by the Agent under the Letter of Credit Guarantee; or (b) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Any amount so charged to the
Borrower’s Operating Account shall be deemed a Canadian Prime Rate Loan or a US Base Rate Loan hereunder, depending on the currency of the Borrower’s payment obligation thereunder, and shall incur interest at the rate provided in
Section 2.5. 
 (c) The Borrower unconditionally indemnifies the Agent and holds the Agent harmless from any and all loss,
claim or liability incurred by the Agent arising from any transactions or occurrences relating to Letters of Credit established or opened for the Borrower’s account, the collateral relating thereto and any drafts or acceptances thereunder, and
all Obligations thereunder, including any such loss or claim due to any errors, omissions, negligence, misconduct or action taken by any Issuing Bank, other than for any such loss, claim or liability arising out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct by the Agent under the Letter of Credit Guarantee. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that any charges incurred by the Agent for the Borrower’s account from the Issuing Bank shall be
conclusive upon the Agent and may be charged to the Borrower’s Operating Account. 
 (d) The Agent shall not be responsible
for: (a) the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of the goods purporting to be represented by any documents; (b) any difference or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition,
packing, value or delivery of the goods from that expressed in the documents; (c) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (d) the time, place, manner or order in which shipment is made; partial or incomplete shipment, or failure or omission to ship any or all of the goods referred to in the Letters of Credit or
documents; (e) any deviation from instructions; (f) delay, default, or fraud by the shipper and/or anyone else in connection with the goods or the shipping thereof; or (g) any breach of contract between the shipper or vendors and the
Borrower. 

  
 - 49 -

 (e) The Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Agent, if taken in good faith, or any
action taken by any Issuing Bank, under or in connection with the Letters of Credit, the Letter of Credit Guarantees, the drafts or acceptances, or the Collateral, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability whatsoever of
the Agent to the Borrower. In furtherance thereof, the Agent shall have the full right and authority to: (a) clear and resolve any questions of non compliance of documents; (b) give any instructions as to acceptance or rejection of any
documents or goods; (c) execute any and all steamship or airways guarantees (and applications therefor), indemnities or delivery orders; (d) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of, any
drafts, acceptances, or documents; and (e) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letters of Credit, drafts or acceptances or Letters
of Credit Guarantees; all in the Agent’s sole discretion. The Issuing Bank shall be entitled to comply with and honor any and all such documents or instruments executed by or received solely from the Agent, all without any consent from the
Borrower. In addition, without the Agent’s express consent and endorsement in writing, the Borrower agrees: (a) not to (i) execute any applications for steamship or airway guarantees, indemnities or delivery orders; (ii) grant
any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances or documents; or (iii) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or
conditions of any of the applications, Letters of Credit, drafts or acceptances or Letters of Credit Guarantees; and (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, not to (i) clear and resolve any questions of
non compliance of documents, or (ii) give any instructions as to acceptances or rejection of any documents or goods. 
 (f)
The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to: (a) procure any necessary import, export or other licenses or certificates for the import or handling of the Collateral; (b) comply with all Applicable Law in regard to the
shipment and importation of the Collateral, or the financing thereof; and (c) deliver to the Agent any certificates in that regard that the Agent may at any time request to be furnished. In connection herewith, the Borrower warrants and
represents that all shipments made under any such Letters of Credit are in accordance with Applicable Law of the countries in which the shipments originate and terminate, and are not prohibited by any such Applicable Law. The Borrower assumes all
risk, liability and responsibility for, and agrees to pay and discharge, all present and future local, provincial, state, federal or foreign Taxes, duties, or levies with respect to such Collateral. Any embargo, restriction, laws, customs or
regulations of any country, state, city, or other political subdivision, where the Collateral is or may be located, or wherein payments are to be made, or wherein drafts may be drawn, negotiated, accepted, or paid, shall be solely the
Borrower’s risk, liability and responsibility. 
 (g) Upon any payments made to the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit
Guarantee, the Agent shall acquire by subrogation, any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank in any application for Letters of Credit, any standing agreement relating to Letters of Credit
or otherwise, all of which shall be deemed to have been granted to the Agent and apply in all respects to the Agent and shall be in addition to any rights, remedies, duties or obligations contained herein.

 ARTICLE 3 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 In order to induce the Agent and the
Lenders to enter into this Agreement, to make any Loans hereunder and to issue any Letters of Credit hereunder, each Credit Party hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender that each statement set forth in this Article 3 is
true and correct on the date hereof, and will be true and correct on the date of each Borrowing, on the date each Letter of Credit is requested hereunder and on the date each Letter of Credit is issued hereunder:

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 Agent, acting reasonably. 

  
 - 70 -

 5.9 Insurance. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, maintain
insurance on its property and assets under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such reasonable amounts and covering such insurable risks as are at all times reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. All such policies are
subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Liens holding claims senior to the Agent, to be made payable to the Agent, to the extent required herein, in case of loss, under a standard non contributory “mortgagee”, “lender”
or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as the Agent may require to fully protect the Agent’s interest in the property and assets subject to the Liens in favour of the Agent and to any payments to be made
under such policies. All original policies or true copies thereof are to be delivered to the Agent, premium prepaid, with a loss payable endorsement in respect of the Collateral and in respect of business interruption insurance in the Agent’s
favour, and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default which is not waived in writing by the Agent,
the Agent shall, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Liens holding claims senior to the Agent, have the sole right, in the name of the Agent, the Borrower or any other applicable Credit Party, to file claims under any insurance
policies in respect of the Collateral and in respect of business interruption insurance, 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 such claims under any such insurance policies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all
insurance proceeds in respect of any Collateral shall be paid to the Agent. The Agent may apply such insurance proceeds to the Obligations in such manner as it may deem advisable in its sole discretion. In the event the Borrower fails to provide the
Agent with timely evidence, acceptable to the Agent, of the maintenance of insurance coverage required pursuant to this Section 5.9, or in the event that any Credit Party fails to maintain such insurance, the Agent may purchase or otherwise
arrange for such insurance, but at the Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on the 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. The insurance acquired by the Agent may, but need not, protect the Borrower’s or any other Credit Party’s interest in the Collateral, and therefore such insurance may not pay claims which the Borrower
may have with respect to the Collateral or pay any claim which may be made against the Borrower in connection with the Collateral. In the event the Agent purchases, obtains or acquires insurance covering all or any portion of the Collateral, 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 Agent may charge all of such premiums, fees, costs, interest and other charges to the Borrower’s Operating Account. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the costs
of the premiums of any insurance acquired by the Agent may exceed the costs of insurance which the Borrower may be able to purchase on its own. In the event that the Agent purchases such insurance, the Agent will promptly, and in any event within
fifteen (15) days, notify the Borrower of said purchase. 
 5.10 Operation and Maintenance of Property. The Borrower will,
and will cause each other Credit Party to, manage and operate its business or cause its business to be managed and operated (i) 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 (ii) 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 in each instance where a failure to so manage and operate would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 5.11 Additional Subsidiaries; Additional Liens. If, at any time on or after the Original
Effective Date, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary creates or acquires an additional Subsidiary or in some other fashion becomes the holder of any Equity Securities of a new Subsidiary: 

(a) the Borrower will, and will cause any relevant Restricted Subsidiary, to immediately execute and deliver to the Agent a securities
pledge agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, granting a security interest in 100% of the Equity Securities of such new Subsidiary owned by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary; and 

(b) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower will cause such new Subsidiary to immediately execute and deliver to the
Agent (i) a Guarantee, and (ii) mortgages, security agreements and other security-related documents covering such new Subsidiary’s property, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, acting reasonably; 

provided that, if such new Subsidiary does not have, but only for so long as such new Subsidiary does not have, assets of more than
Cdn.$1,000,000, the Borrower shall not be required to comply with this Section with respect to such new Subsidiary. If, at any time after the Original Effective Date, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary makes a permitted acquisition with
respect to a Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall, and shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary, to execute and deliver to the Agent at the time of such permitted acquisition, additional pledge agreements granting a security
interest in 100% of the Equity Securities of such Person owned by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, respectively. In connection with the execution and delivery of any guarantee, pledge agreement, mortgage, security agreement or related
document pursuant to this Section, the Borrower will, or will cause the relevant Credit Party to, deliver to the Agent such corporate resolutions, certificates, legal opinions and such other related documents as shall be reasonably requested by the
Agent and consistent with the relevant forms and types thereof delivered on the Original Effective Date or as shall be otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Each guarantee, pledge agreement, mortgage, security agreement, Bank Act Security
and other document delivered pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be a Security Document from and after the date of execution thereof. 

5.12 Financial Covenants. If, at any time, an Event of Default has occurred or the Excess Availability is less than Cdn.$5,000,000 (the
“Threshold Amount”), and until the Excess Availability thereafter becomes greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount for a period of not less than 7 Business Days, the Borrower shall maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not
less than 1.10:1.00 for each Rolling Period, provided that, if the Excess Availability becomes greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount for a period of not less than 7 Business Days immediately thereafter, upon each such occurrence, such Excess
Availability greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount shall be deemed to have been in effect from the date such Threshold Amount was first re-established, solely for the purpose of allowing the Borrower to comply with Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio hereunder. 
 5.13 Parent Subordinated Debt. The Borrower shall maintain the Parent Subordinated Debt with a commitment
level of no less than U.S.$15,000,000.

 5.14 Canadian Pension Plans. The Borrower and each other Credit Party shall administer any
Canadian Pension Plans in accordance with the requirements of the applicable pension plan texts, funding agreements, any other documents governing such Canadian Pension Plans, the ITA and applicable federal or provincial pension benefits legislation
except for any non-compliance which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Credit Parties and Affiliates to, promptly provide the Agent with any documentation relating to any

 - 83 -

 8.3 Lack of Reliance on the Agent. 

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

(b) Agent Not Responsible. The 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, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, or the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. 
 8.4 Certain Rights of the Agent. If the 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 Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Agent shall have received written instructions from the Lenders or the
Required Lenders, as applicable, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the 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. 

8.5 Reliance by Agent. The 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 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. 

  
 - 84 -

 8.6 Indemnification of Agent. To the extent the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the
Borrower, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify the 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 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 Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or willful misconduct. 
 8.7 The Agent in its 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”, 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 Agent 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. 
 8.8 May
Treat Lender as Owner. The Borrower and the Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of the Loans recorded on the Register maintained pursuant to Section 9.4(c) for all purposes hereof until a written notice of the assignment
or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the 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. 
 8.9 Successor Agent. 

(a) Agent Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the
Borrower. 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 Agent (who shall not be a non-resident of Canada within the meaning of the ITA),
subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring
Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent
(subject to approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), which shall be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada having a combined capital and surplus of at least Cdn.$100,000,000 or having a parent
company with combined capital and surplus of at least Cdn.$100,000,000. 

  
 - 85 -

 (b) Rights, Powers, etc. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by
a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as 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 Agent under this Agreement.

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

  
 - 86 -

 8.11 Quebec Security. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Agent or
any other Person acting as an agent or mandatary for the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby acknowledges that, for purposes of holding any security granted by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary on
property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary under any debenture, the Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir)
(within the meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Lenders and in particular for all present and future holders of any such debenture. Each Lender hereby irrevocably constitutes, to the extent necessary, the Agent as
the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in order to hold security granted by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in the
Province of Quebec to secure the obligations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary under any debenture. Each assignee of a Lender shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Agent as the holder of such irrevocable
power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) by execution of an Assignment and Transfer. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 32 of the An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec), the Agent may acquire and
be the holder of any debenture. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that such debenture constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

 9.2
Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No failure or delay by the 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 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(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document (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 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: 
  

	 	(i)	increase the amount or extend the expiry date of any Commitment of any Lender; 

  
 - 88 -

	 	(ii)	reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest or any fee applicable to any Loan; 

 

	 	(iii)	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; 

  

	 	(iv)	change any aspect of this Agreement in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required herein; 

 

	 	(v)	change any of the provisions of this 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; 

  

	 	(vi)	waive any Event of Default under Section 7.1(i), (j) or (k); or 

  

	 	(vii)	release the Borrower or any Subsidiary from any material obligations under the Security Documents and other instruments contemplated by this Agreement, release or
discharge any of the Liens arising under the Security Documents, permit the creation of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, on any of the assets subject to the Liens arising under the Security Documents, lower the priority of any Lien arising
under any of the Security Documents, or lower the priority of any payment obligation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under any of the Loan Documents or, in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), without the prior written consent
of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

 in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender; or, in the case of the
matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), 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 Agent hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Agent. For greater certainty, the Agent may release and discharge the Liens constituted by the Security Documents to the extent necessary to enable the Borrower to complete any asset
sale which is not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 9.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent and all applicable 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, (ii) all reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent and applicable 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 (iii) all Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by the Agent or any
Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent or any Lender and all applicable Taxes, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under
this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 

  
 - 89 -

 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, 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 Out-of-Pocket Expenses and all applicable Taxes to which any Indemnitee may become subject arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or
any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions thereunder, (ii) any Loan or Letter of
Credit or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, including any refusal by the 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, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) 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, (v) any other aspect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (vi) the enforcement of any Indemnitee’s rights hereunder and any related investigation, defence, preparation of defence,
litigation and enquiries, in each case regardless of whether or not the Acquisition is consummated; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or wilful
misconduct of or material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any
amount required to be paid under Sections 9.3 (a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent 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 Agent, in its capacity as such. 

(d) The Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law), any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument
contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

  
 - 90 -

 (e) Any inspection of any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries made by or
through the Agent or any Lender is for purposes of administration of the Credits only, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of the Borrower).

 (f) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Agent or the Lenders
pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the 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 Agent or the Lenders. 
 (g) The relationship between the Borrower and the Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders. Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall under any
circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with
the Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the 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 Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Agent and the Lenders, and
neither the Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon. 
 (h) The 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary and/or their Affiliates and the
Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Agent and the Lenders harmless from any such loss, damage, liability or claim. 
 (i)
This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and the
Lenders, and the Agent’s and each Lender’s successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 9.3(b) and 9.4, no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof. 

(j) All amounts due under this Section 9.3 shall be payable not later than three Business Days after written demand therefor.

 9.4 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower
may 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 (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

  
 - 91 -

 (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (treating any fund that invests in bank
loans and any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single assignee) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment
immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, each of the Agent and the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided further that
(ii) the Borrower’s consent shall not be required with respect to any assignment made at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a
Lender Affiliate or an 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
Transfer relating to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than Cdn.$5,000,000 (or, in the case of a U.S. Dollar-denominated Commitment, the U.S.$ Equivalent of Cdn.$5,000,000), unless each of the Borrower and the Agent
otherwise consent in writing and the amount held by each Lender after each such assignment shall not be less than Cdn.$5,000,000 (or, in the case of a U.S. Dollar-denominated Commitment, the U.S.$ Equivalent of Cdn.$5,000,000), unless each of
the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent in writing, (iv) each partial assignment in respect of a Commitment and the related Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Commitment and the related Loans, (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Transfer, together with (except in the case of an assignment to a
Lender or a Lender Affiliate) a processing and recordation fee of Cdn.$7,500, payable by the assigning Lender, (vi) in the case of an assignment to a Foreign Lender, such Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to require any payment under
Section 2.14(a)(i) as a result of any withholding tax exigible in respect of any payment by the Borrower to such Foreign Lender hereunder, and (vii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire. The 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(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Transfer, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Transfer, 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 Transfer, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Transfer 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 2.12, 2.13, and 2.14 and
9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this 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(e). 

  
 - 92 -

 (c) The 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 Transfer 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 the amount of the
Reimbursement Obligations 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 Agent, 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 and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Transfer 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(b) and any written consent to such
assignment required by Section 9.4(b), the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Transfer 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(d). 
 (e) Any Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or the consent of
the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.2(b) that
affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.4(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to this Section 9.4(b). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.13 or 2.14 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. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender. 

  
 - 93 -

 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and Section 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. 

(h) 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 will continue and will not constitute new obligations as a result of such assignment or participation. 

9.5 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 Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the
time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of
Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 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. 
 9.6 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent, constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective
when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed original counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronically scanned method of delivery shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

 9.7 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of
a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 9.8 Right of
Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all of the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of
each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) which such Lender may have. 

9.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the Laws of the Province of British Columbia.

any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction. 
 (c) The Borrower
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement in any court referred to in this Section 9.9. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any forum non conveniens defence to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

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

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, regulatory authority or other Governmental Authority, or their legal counsel, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations

institution, credit reporting agency or credit bureau, (h) any Person with whom the Borrower may have or proposes to have financial dealings, or (i) with the consent of the Borrower. For greater certainty, the Borrower acknowledges that
from time to time, the Borrower may request the Agent to facilitate the provision of certain financial services offered by CIBC (the “CIBC Services”). In such circumstances, CIBC policies and procedures (“CIBC’s
Policies”) will apply in respect of all transactions undertaken by CIBC in connection with the provision of the CIBC Services, including any required due diligence investigation and related business approval processes conducted in respect
of the Borrower. The Borrower consents to the disclosure of Information by the Agent to CIBC for the purpose of facilitating compliance with CIBC’s Policies. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information

delivery. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.

 9.13 Press Releases and Related Materials. Each Credit Party agrees that neither it nor its
Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of the Agent or referring to this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents without prior notice to the Agent unless (and only to the extent that) such
Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so by law or pursuant to any applicable regulatory policy protocol or rule. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by the Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing
transactions contemplated by this Agreement using its name, product photographs, logo or trademark. The Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any advertising material to Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication thereof. The
Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. 
 9.14 Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. 
 (a) The Borrower
acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” Laws
(collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders and the 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

the Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and 

  

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

  
 - 97 -

 Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders
agrees that the 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. 
 9.15 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 hereto 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. 
 9.16 Paramountcy. In the event of any
inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS OF ANY OF THEM FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND THE BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR, EACH LENDER AND THE AGENT HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES,
