restated and/or supplemented) shall, except where the context otherwise requires and save where otherwise defined herein, have the same meanings in this Agreement, including the recitals hereto and this Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with the interpretation provisions set out in Section 2 of that Master Definitions and Construction Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, this Agreement has the same meaning as Bank Account Agreement in the Master Definitions
and Construction Agreement.

	 The Transaction Account and the GDA Account 

 

	 2.1
	 Instructions from the Cash Manager 

 Subject to Sections 2.4 and 5.3, the Account Bank shall comply with any direction of the Cash Manager given on a Canadian Business Day to effect a payment by debiting any one of the Guarantor
Accounts held with the Account Bank if such direction (i) is in writing, is given by telephone and confirmed in writing not later than close of business on the day on which such direction is given, or is given by the internet banking service
provided by the Account Bank and (ii) complies with the Transaction Account and GDA Account Mandate as appropriate (such direction shall constitute an irrevocable payment instruction). 

 

	 2.2
	 Timing of Payment 

 The Account Bank agrees that, in the case of the Guarantor Accounts, if directed pursuant to Section 2.1 to make any payment then, subject to Sections 2.4 and 5.3, it will effect the payment
specified in such direction not later than the day specified for payment therein and for value on the day specified therein provided that, if any direction specifying that payment be made on the same day as the direction is given is received later
than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any Canadian Business Day, the Account Bank shall make such payment at the commencement of business on the following Canadian Business Day for value that day. 

 

	 2.3

 The charges of the Account Bank for the operation of each of the Guarantor Accounts held with the Account Bank shall be debited to the GDA Account only on each Guarantor Payment Date in accordance with
the relevant Priorities of Payments, and the Guarantor by its execution hereof irrevocably agrees that this shall be done. The charges shall be payable at the same rates as are generally applicable to the business customers of the Account Bank
provided that, subject to Section 7.5, if there are insufficient funds standing to the credit of the GDA Account to pay such charges, the Account Bank shall not be relieved of its obligations in respect of any of the Guarantor Accounts held
with it. 
  

	 2.4
	 No Negative Balance 

 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, amounts shall only be withdrawn from any Guarantor Account held with the Account Bank to the extent that such withdrawal does not cause the relevant

relating to the Guarantor Accounts held with that Account Bank (other than a change of Authorized Signatory) and shall require the prior written consent of the Bond Trustee to any such amendment or revocation (other than a change of Authorized
Signatory) but, unless such Mandate is revoked, the Account Bank may continue to comply with such Mandate (as it may from time to time be amended in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2) unless it receives notice in writing from
the Bond Trustee to the effect that an Guarantor Acceleration Notice has been served on the Guarantor or that the appointment of Bank of Montreal as Cash Manager under the Cash Management Agreement has been terminated and shall, thereafter, act
solely in accordance with the terms of those instructions as provided in Section 5.3 of this Agreement.

Guarantor, in respect of any of the liabilities of the Guarantor whatsoever, other than to the extent permitted under the Security Agreement; 

  

	 	 (d)
	 agrees that it shall have recourse only to sums paid to or received by (or on behalf of) the Guarantor pursuant to the Transaction Documents;

  
 - 3 -

	 	 (e)
	 agrees that it will notify the Cash Manager, the Guarantor and the Bond Trustee if compliance with any instruction would cause the Guarantor
Account(s) held with it to which such instruction relates to have a negative balance, such notification to be given on the same Canadian Business Day that it determines that compliance with such instruction would cause any such account to have a
negative balance; and 

  

	 	 (f)
	 acknowledges that the Guarantor has, pursuant to the Security Agreement, inter alia, assigned by way of security all its rights, title,
interest and benefit, present and future, in and to, all sums from time to time standing to the credit of the Guarantor Accounts held with it and all of its rights under this Agreement to the Bond Trustee and that the Bond Trustee may enforce such
rights in the Bond Trustee’s own name without joining the Guarantor in any such action (which right the Account Bank hereby waives) and the Account Bank hereby waives as against the Bond Trustee any rights or equities in its favour arising from
any course of dealing between the Account Bank and the Guarantor.

available funds then standing to the credit of the Guarantor Accounts held with the Account Bank against any loss, cost, damage, charge or expense properly incurred by the Account Bank or the Bond Trustee, as the case may be, in complying with any

(b) that the appointment of Bank of Montreal as Cash Manager under the Cash Management Agreement has been terminated, all right, authority and power of the Cash Manager in respect of each of the Guarantor Accounts held with it shall be

to such successor cash manager having entered into an agreement with it on substantially the same terms as this Agreement) in relation to the operation of each of the Guarantor Accounts held with it, and the Account Bank will have no liability

 NOW THEREFORE, THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the mutual covenants
and agreements herein set forth, the parties agree as follows: 
  

	 1.
	 DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION 

  

	 1.1
	 The master definitions and construction agreement made between, inter alios, the parties to this Agreement on September 30, 2013 (as the same
may be amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Master Definitions and Construction Agreement”) is expressly and

	 2.1
	 Instructions from the Cash Manager 

 Following delivery of a Stand-By Account Bank Notice and opening of the Stand-By Transaction Account and Stand-By GDA Account in accordance with Section 3.1, the Stand-By Account Bank shall, subject
to Sections 2.4 and 5.3, comply with any direction of the Guarantor (or the Cash Manager on its behalf) given on a Canadian Business Day to effect a payment by debiting any one of the Stand-By Transaction Account or the Stand-By GDA Account and
any additional or replacement bank accounts opened in the name of the Guarantor from time to time with the prior written consent of the Bond Trustee, if such direction (i) is in writing, is given by telephone and confirmed in writing not later
than close of business on the day on which such direction is given, or is given by the internet banking service provided by the Stand-By Account Bank, and (ii) complies with the Stand-By Transaction Account Mandate or the Stand-By GDA Account
Mandate as appropriate (such direction shall constitute an irrevocable payment instruction). 
  

	 2.2
	 Timing of Payment 

 The Stand-By Account Bank agrees that if directed pursuant to Section 2.1 to make any payment then, subject to Sections 2.4 and 5.3 below, it will effect the payment specified in such direction
not later than the day specified for payment therein and for value on the day specified therein provided that, if any direction specifying that payment be made on the same day as the direction is given is received later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern

applicable to the business customers of the Stand-By Account Bank provided that, subject to Section 7.4, if there are insufficient funds standing to the credit of the Stand-By GDA Account to pay such charges after payment by or on behalf of the
Guarantor of any higher ranking obligations in the Priorities of Payment the Stand-By Account Bank shall not be relieved of its obligations in respect of any of the Guarantor Accounts. For greater certainty (i) charges that may be made by the
