Exhibit 10.1

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN

CONSUMERS ENERGY COMPANY AND UNITED STATES

TO RESOLVE CLAIMS ARISING FROM

CONTRACT DE-CR01-83NE44374

I. General Terms and Provisions

     For the purpose of disposing of certain claims by Consumers Energy Company (“Consumers
Energy”) as set forth below without any judicial proceedings and without there being any trial or
adjudication of any issue of law or fact and without constituting an admission of liability on the
part of the United States (also referred to alternatively herein as “DOE” and the “Government”),
and for no other purpose, Consumers Energy and the United States (the “Parties”) enter into this
Settlement Agreement and stipulate and agree as follows:

     A. Consumers Energy, formerly doing business as Consumers Power Company, is an energy utility
company based in Michigan. Consumers Energy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMS Energy Corporation,
a publicly-traded energy company based in Michigan.

     B. Consumers Energy was the purchaser under a standard contract with the United States
Department of Energy (DOE), No. DE-CR01-83NE44374 (Contract), for the acceptance of spent nuclear
fuel and high-level radioactive waste (SNF/HLW) under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, the material
terms of which are reproduced at 10 C.F.R. § 961.11. The Contract covers the acceptance of SNF/HLW
from the nuclear plants formerly owned by Consumers Energy and specified in Appendix A of the
Contract.

     C. Consumers Energy was, until April 11, 2007, the owner of the Big Rock plant in Charlevoix,
Michigan. Big Rock ceased operations in 1997 and all of Big Rock’s

1

 

SNF was transferred to dry cask
storage at an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) at the Big Rock site (Big Rock
ISFSI). Until April 11, 2007, Consumers Energy also owned the Palisades Nuclear Plant (Palisades)
located near Covert, Michigan. As of April 11, 2007, the Palisades plant was still operating. The
SNF at the Palisades plant was stored in a spent fuel pool and at two ISFSIs located on-site at the
plant. On April 11, 2007, Consumers Energy sold the Palisades plant and the Big Rock ISFSI and
approximately 107 acres of real property upon which the Big Rock plant was located, to Entergy
Nuclear Palisades, LLC, a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation (Entergy), pursuant to an Asset Sale
Agreement dated July 11, 2006 (Asset Sale Agreement). Pursuant to the Asset Sale Agreement (Asset
Sale Agreement, Sections 6.14 and 6.25), Consumers Energy paid Entergy $30,000,000 to take
ownership and all responsibility for the Big Rock ISFSI, including all SNF/HLW stored at the Big
Rock ISFSI (Big Rock Amount). Entergy also assumed ownership and responsibility for all SNF/HLW
stored at the Palisades plant.

     D. The Contract required DOE to commence acceptance of SNF/HLW from Contract holders not later
than January 31, 1998, but DOE did not so commence acceptance of SNF/HLW by that date. On December
16, 2002, Consumers Energy filed a complaint against the United States in the Court of Federal
Claims, docketed as case No. 02-1894 (the “Litigation”). Consumers Energy’s claim includes all
costs for storing SNF/HLW incurred through the asset sale on April 11, 2007, as the result of DOE’s
delay in performance of the Contract at the Big Rock and Palisades plants and the $30 million Big
Rock Amount paid to Entergy. Consumers Energy represents and agrees that it has not incurred and
will not be claiming costs associated with any other nuclear reactor not identified in Appendix A
of Contract No. DE-CR01-83NE44374.

2

 

     E. Consumers Energy warrants and represents that Consumers Energy was the holder of the
Contract up to and including the asset sale on April 11, 2007, and that no other actions or suits
by Consumers Energy are pending with respect to any other claims for DOE’s delay in performance against the Government related to the Contract; nor will such actions or suits be filed
by Consumers Energy with respect to any claims in any other court, administrative agency, or
legislative body, except as contemplated by this Settlement Agreement. Consumers Energy also
warrants and represents that it has the right to bring and prosecute all claims against the
Government arising under the Contract for claims through the asset sale on April 11, 2007
attributable to DOE’s delay in performance of the Contract.

     F. By letter dated December 4, 2006, Consumers Energy notified the Contracting Officer,
Department of Energy (DOE), for the Contract that Consumers Energy intended to assign its Contract
to Entergy at the close of the sale of the plants. By letter dated February 6, 2007, the DOE
Contracting Officer notified Consumers Energy that DOE objected to the proposed assignment because
Consumers Energy intended to retain the obligation to pay the one-time fee. Consumers Energy
warrants that it has assigned all of its rights and obligations pursuant to the Contract except for
the obligation to pay the one-time fee, provided for in Section III of this Agreement, and its
claims described in the Asset Sale Agreement (which are the subject of this Settlement Agreement).
As part of and to effectuate this settlement, the Government exercises its sole discretion to
accept the assignment of the Standard Contract from Consumers Energy to Entergy because Consumers
Energy will pay its one-time fee with this settlement. The assignment shall be deemed effective as
of April 11, 2007.

3

 

     G. The Parties entered into negotiations designed to resolve amicably Consumers Energy’s
claim, and Consumers Energy provided extensive documentation of its claims for review by the United
States. Following that review and negotiations, Consumers Energy has offered to settle all its
claims for the agreed-upon amount of $120,000,000 (Settlement Amount), with the Parties each to
bear its own legal costs, expenses, and attorney fees incurred in connection with this
claim/settlement.

     H. Consumers Energy’s offer has been accepted by the authorized representative of the Attorney
General.

     I. This Settlement Agreement shall be deemed a compromise settlement, made by the Attorney
General, or persons authorized by him, of claims referred to the Attorney General for defense of
imminent litigation or suits against the United States, or against its agencies or officials upon
obligations or liabilities of the United States, for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 2414. The Parties
intend that the total Settlement Amount, and the Parties’ obligations concerning the one-time fee
and indemnification provisions set forth in Sections III and IV below, shall constitute a
“compromise settlement” under 31 U.S.C. § 1304.

     J. Upon execution of this Agreement and receipt of notice and verification of payment of the
Settlement Amount referenced in Section III.B and the payment of the one-time fee balance by
Consumers Energy referenced in Section III.C below, Plaintiff agrees to join with the United States
in stipulating to dismiss the Litigation with prejudice.

II. Releases

     Upon satisfaction of the terms set forth in this Settlement Agreement, including but not
limited to payment of the Settlement Amount of $120,000,000, Consumers Energy

4

 

releases, waives, and
abandons any and all of Consumers Energy’s claims against the United States, its political
subdivisions, its officers, agents, and employees that arise out of DOE’s delay in performance of
its acceptance obligations under the Contract, regardless of whether such claims were included in
Consumers Energy’s submission to the Government and including, but not limited to, any claim for
legal costs, expenses, attorney fees, compensatory damages, and exemplary damages. Consumers Energy
releases, waives and abandons any and all claims related to or arising out of DOE’s delay in
performance of its acceptance obligations under the Contract, whether in the Court of Federal
Claims or any other court. Consumers Energy further releases any and all claims related to impaired
or diminished value of the property upon which the Big Rock plant was located.

III. One Time Fee Payment Provision

     A. Pursuant to Article VIII of the Contract, Consumers Energy was charged a one-time fee for
fuel used to generate electricity in its civilian nuclear power reactors (Big Rock and Palisades)
prior to April 7, 1983. As permitted by the payment provision set forth in Article VIII.B.2(b) of
the Contract, Consumers Energy elected to defer payment of its one-time fee. The Parties agree
that, as of the date of this Settlement Agreement, the total one-time fee obligation for Consumers
Energy under Contract No. DE-CR01-83NE44374, inclusive of principal and interest calculated
pursuant to Article VIII of the Contract, is $163,102,172.50.

     B. Pursuant to this Settlement Agreement, the Settlement Amount of $120,000,000 shall be paid
by the Judgment Fund, administered by the Financial Management Service, Department of the Treasury,
to the Nuclear Waste Fund, 42 U.S.C. § 10222(c), to satisfy a portion of Consumers Energy’s
one-time fee obligation as set forth in

5

 

Section III.A above. Consumers Energy and the United States
consent to this setoff, pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3728 and 31 C.F.R. § 256.22. The Parties agree that
Consumers Energy shall pay to the Nuclear Waste Fund the remaining balance of its one-time fee
obligation ($163,102,172.50 net of the payment of $120,000,000) for a total remaining principal
payment of $43,102,172.50, subject to the payment terms set forth in Section III.C below.

     C. Consumers Energy shall pay the one-time fee balance of $43,102,172.50 to the Nuclear Waste
Fund in full within 45 days after the effective date of this Settlement Agreement. The effective
date of this Settlement Agreement shall be the day after the date on which this Settlement
Agreement is executed on behalf of the United States and delivered to Consumers Energy c/o Jeffrey
S. Theuer, Loomis, Ewert, Parsley, Davis & Gotting, P.C. 124 W. Allegan, Suite 700, Lansing, MI
48933.

     D. Consumers Energy’s one-time fee payment shall be made by Automated Clearing House [ACH] or
by wire transfer, in accordance with instructions specified by DOE and provided to Consumers
Energy, consistent with Appendix G of the Contract.

     E. Consumers Energy shall complete a Standard Remittance Advice, as set forth in Appendix G of
the Contract, for the payment, and mail it postmarked no later than the payment date to “Department
of Energy, Office of Controller, Cash Management Division, Bo. 500, Room D-208, Germantown,
Maryland 20874.”

     F. Upon payment in full of the one-time fee balance referenced in subparagraph C above,
Consumers Energy shall have no further financial obligation to DOE for the disposal of SNF/HLW,
with the exception of any obligations related to or arising from the indemnification provision of
this Settlement Agreement.

6

 

IV. Indemnification Provision

     A. This Settlement Agreement reflects the recovery by Consumers Energy of the Big Rock Amount
referenced in Sections 6.14 and 6.25 of the Asset Sale Agreement identified herein. Accordingly,
Consumers Energy shall indemnify and hold harmless the Government from and against any and all
claims, demands, liabilities, losses, and damages asserted by Entergy Nuclear Palisades, LLC, its
successors and assigns (“Entergy”), against the Government arising after the closing date of April
11, 2007 (“Future Claim”) of the Asset Sale Agreement between Consumers Energy and Entergy Nuclear
Palisades, LLC, dated July 11, 2006, and only to the extent that such Future Claim meets the
following criteria: (i) the Future Claim is one for recoverable damages arising after April 11,
2007 and resulting from DOE’s delay in commencing acceptance of SNF /HLW from Big Rock (currently
located at the Big Rock ISFSI) for disposal pursuant to the Contract, and (ii) only to the extent
that the Future Claim includes a claim for recovery by Entergy of all or any portion of the first
$30 million of recoverable damages arising after April 11, 2007 with respect to the Big Rock ISFSI
(the “Big Rock Amount”), as referenced in Sections 6.14 and 6.25 of the Asset Sale Agreement.

     B. Consumers Energy’s liability under this section of the Settlement Agreement shall be
limited to all or any portion of the Big Rock Amount, awarded to Entergy at the time a final,
binding judgment that meets the requirements of subparagraph A above has been entered and all
possible appeals and requests for leave to appeal that judgment have been exhausted and/or denied.

     C. If the Government receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of
any claim, action, or proceeding which constitutes the Future Claim as

7

 

defined in this section, the
Government shall provide Consumers Energy written notice thereof (“Initial Notice”) as soon as the
nature of the claims is known, but no later than 90 days before the close of discovery in such an
action. Such Initial Notice shall describe the nature of the Future Claim in reasonable detail and
shall indicate the estimated amount, if practicable, of the asserted indemnifiable loss that has
been or may be sustained by the Government. Failure to provide the Initial Notice as provided in
this subsection shall terminate Consumers Energy’s indemnity obligation hereunder.

     D. The Government shall not oppose any reasonable attempt by Consumers Energy to participate,
including without limitation by intervention, in the adjudication or other resolution of any claim
for which the Government may seek indemnification. Consumers Energy shall cooperate in good faith
in the defense of any claim for which the Government may seek indemnification, including without
limitation providing the Government reasonable access to all non-privileged documents and witnesses
within Consumers Energy’s control, including assisting with and making available witnesses for
deposition and trial, as necessary.

     E. The Government may compromise or settle any such Future Claim only with the prior written
consent of Consumers Energy, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A firm offer of
settlement of a Future Claim which is received by Consumers Energy or the Government shall be
promptly communicated to the other Party, and in no event less than five (5) business days prior to
the time required for a response to the offer.

     F. If Consumers Energy fails to meet its obligations as required by the Indemnification
Provision of this Agreement, the Government may commence suit upon a

8

 

breach of this Agreement
within six years of such failure directly in the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia.

V. Other Provisions

     A. This Settlement Agreement is for the purpose of settling all of Consumers Energy’s claims
against the Government as provided herein, and for no other reason. Accordingly, this Settlement
Agreement shall not bind the Parties in any other proceeding, whether judicial or administrative in
nature, in which the Parties have an interest except as is necessary to effect the terms of this
Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that this Settlement Agreement may be relevant to proceedings
filed or to be filed in the Michigan Public Service Commission, or Michigan Courts, concerning the
regulatory effect of this settlement. The Parties agree that Consumers Energy may seek to introduce
this Settlement Agreement into evidence in such proceedings in its discretion.

     B. Counsel for the Parties represent that they have been, and are, authorized to enter into
this Settlement Agreement.

     C. Any provision herein which is held, after the date of the execution of this Settlement
Agreement, to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction
under present or future laws which apply to this Settlement Agreement, shall be fully severable. In
place of any severed provision, the Parties agree to substitute a legal, valid, and enforceable
provision which is as similar as possible to the severed provision.

     D. This document constitutes a complete integration of the Settlement Agreement between the
Parties and supersedes any and all prior oral or written representations, understandings, or
agreements among or between them.

9

 

     E. This Settlement Agreement is intended to benefit only the Parties, their successors, and
assigns. It is not intended to benefit directly, or indirectly, any other individual, group of individuals, organization, or entity.

     G. This Agreement is in no way related to or concerned with income or other taxes for which
Consumers Energy is now liable or may become liable in the future as a result of this Agreement.

	 	(c)	 	Except in Lenders’ discretion but subject to the terms hereof, the aggregate

Revolving Credit, as applicable, or the aggregate amount of the outstanding Revolving
Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodation and the Revolving Term Loan exceed the Maximum

any rights of Agent or Lenders in that circumstance or on any future occasions and
Borrower shall, upon demand by Agent or Lenders, which may be made at any time or from
time to time, immediately repay to Agent the entire amount of any such excess(es) for
which payment is demanded.

2.2 Letter of Credit Accommodations

	 	(a)	 	Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, at the request
of Borrower, Agent agrees to provide or arrange for Letter of Credit Accommodations for
the account of Borrower in US Dollars containing terms and conditions reasonably
acceptable to Agent and the issuer thereof. Any payments made by Agent or Lenders to
any issuer thereof and/or related parties in connection with the Letter of Credit
Accommodations shall constitute additional Revolving Loans to Borrower pursuant to this
Article 2. Each Lender agrees to purchase an irrevocable and unconditional
participation in Letter of Credit Accommodations issued hereunder based on its Pro Rata
Share.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In addition to any charges, fees or expenses charged by any bank or issuer in
connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for
the account of Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, a letter of credit
fee at a rate equal to one and one half percent (1.5%) per annum on

- 34 -

 

	 	 	 	the daily outstanding balance of the Letter of Credit Accommodations for the
immediately preceding month (or part thereof), payable in arrears as of the first
day of each succeeding month, except that Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the
account of Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, such letter of credit
fee, at Agent’s option, without notice, at a rate equal to four and one half percent
(4.5%) per annum on such daily outstanding balance for: (i) the period from and
after the date of maturity or termination hereof until Lenders have received full
and final payment of all Revolving Loans, and cash collateral has been posted in the
full amount of any then outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations (notwithstanding
entry of a judgment against Borrower) and (ii) the period from and after the date of
the occurrence of an Event of Default for so long as such Event of Default is
continuing as determined by Agent. Such letter of credit fee shall be calculated on
the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed and the
obligation of Borrower to pay such fee shall survive the maturity or termination of
this Agreement.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Letter of Credit Accommodations are not available unless, on the date of the
proposed issuance thereof, the Revolving Loans available to Borrower (subject to
Section 2.1(c) are equal to, or greater than one hundred (100%) percent of the
face amount of the Letter of Credit Accommodation together with all other commitments
and obligations made or incurred by Lenders and Agent with respect thereto, including
bank fees and the Revolving Loans otherwise available shall be reduced accordingly.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Except in Agent’s discretion, the amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit
Accommodations and all other commitments and obligations made or incurred by Agent or
Lenders in connection therewith, including bank fees, shall not at any time exceed
$20,000,000. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing,
upon Agent’s request, Borrower will either furnish cash collateral to secure the
reimbursement obligations to the issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit
Accommodations or furnish cash collateral to Agent for the Letter of Credit
Accommodations, and in either case, the Revolving Loans otherwise available to Borrower
shall not be reduced as provided in Section 2.2(c) to the extent of such cash
collateral.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Borrower shall indemnify and hold Agent and each Lender harmless from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses which
Agent and each Lender may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit
Accommodations and any documents, drafts or acceptances relating thereto, including,
but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses due to
any action taken by any issuer or correspondent with respect to any Letter of Credit
Accommodation. Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the acts or omissions of the
drawer under or beneficiary of any Letter of Credit Accommodation and for such purposes
the drawer or beneficiary shall be deemed Borrower’s agent. Borrower assumes all risks
for, and agrees to pay, all foreign, federal, provincial and local taxes, duties and
levies relating to any goods subject to any Letter of Credit Accommodations or any
documents, drafts or acceptances

- 35 -

 

	 		 	thereunder. Borrower hereby releases and holds Agent and each Lender harmless from
and against any acts, waivers, errors, delays or omissions, whether caused by
Borrower, by any issuer or correspondent or otherwise, other than acts, waivers,
errors, delays or omissions caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of
Agent or a Lender, with respect to or relating to any Letter of Credit
Accommodation. The provisions of this Section 2.2(e) shall survive the
payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant Borrower any
right or authority to pledge the credit of Agent or a Lender in any manner. None of
Agent or Lenders shall have any liability of any kind with respect to any Letter of
Credit Accommodation provided by an issuer unless Agent or a Lender has duly executed
and delivered to such issuer the application or a guarantee or indemnification in
writing with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation. Except as a result of
Agent’s or a Lender’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, Borrower shall be
bound by any interpretation made by Agent or a Lender, or any other issuer or
correspondent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodation or any
documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder, notwithstanding that such interpretation
may be inconsistent with any instructions of Borrower. At any time an Event of Default
exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent, in its own name or in Borrower’s name,
shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to, and Borrower shall not: (i)
approve or resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents, (ii) give any
instructions as to acceptance or rejection of any documents or goods, or (iii) execute
any and all applications for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities or delivery
orders. At all times other than when an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall be permitted, with the prior written consent of Agent to:
(i) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of
presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or documents, and (ii) to agree to any
amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the
terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or
documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder or any letters of credit included in the
Collateral.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by Borrower
to any issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit
Accommodation, or any other agreement in favour of any issuer or correspondent relating
to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been granted or
undertaken by Borrower to Agent and Lenders. Any duties or obligations undertaken by
Agent or any Lender to any issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of
Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement by Agent or any Lender in favour of any
issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed
to have been undertaken by Agent and Lenders to Borrower.

severally (and not jointly) agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of Revolving Term Loans
by way of Euro Dollar Rate Loans and US Prime Rate Loans to Borrower from time to time
prior to the Revolving Term Loan Term Conversion Date in amounts requested by Borrower
up to the Maximum Revolving Term Credit.
	 
	 	(b)	 	On the Revolving Term Loan Term Conversion Date, (i) the outstanding amount of
the Revolving Term Loan not repaid by Borrower on such date shall convert to a term

(including principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due and payable
with respect thereto) shall be due and be payable.
	 
	 	(d)	 	On and after the Revolving Term Loan Term Conversion Date, the Revolving Term
Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without notice or penalty provided
that the funds used for any such prepayment (i) are generated from operations of
Borrower, (ii) are proceeds of an equity issue by Borrower or (iii) are proceeds of a
Revolving Loan. Prepayments of the Revolving Term Loan on and after the Revolving Term
Loan Term Conversion Date from any other source will be subject to the early prepayment
fees as follows (with such early prepayment fees being deemed included in the
Obligations):

ARTICLE 3

INTEREST AND FEES

3.1 Interest

	 	(a)	 	Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders based on their
respective Pro Rata Shares, interest on the outstanding principal amount of the
non-contingent Obligations at the applicable Interest Rate. Subject to Sections
2.1, 2.3, 3.1 and 3.2 hereof, Borrower may borrow, repay and
reborrow funds under the Loans by way of Euro Dollar Rate Loans and US Prime Rate
Loans.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Interest shall be payable by Borrower to Agent, for the account of Lenders
based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, monthly in arrears not later than the first
Business Day of each calendar month and shall be calculated on the basis of a three
hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. The interest rate applicable
to US Prime Rate Loans shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase
or decrease in the US Prime Rate after any change in such rate is announced. All
interest accruing hereunder on and after an Event of Default or maturity or termination
hereof shall be payable on demand. In no event shall charges constituting interest
payable by Borrower to Agent, for the account of Lenders based on their respective Pro
Rata Shares, exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law
or regulation, and if any part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of
any such law or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform
thereto.
	 
	 	(c)	 	For purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), where interest is
calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based upon a three hundred and sixty (360) day
year (the “US First Rate”), it is hereby agreed that the rate or percentage of interest
on a yearly basis is equivalent to such US First Rate multiplied by the actual number
of days in the year divided by 360.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 3 or any other provision
of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as that term is defined
in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) exceed the effective annual rate
of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined therein) lawfully permitted under
Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). The effective annual rate of
interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices
and principles over the term of the Loans, and in the event of a dispute, a certificate
of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Agent will be
conclusive for the purposes of such determination.
	 
	 	(e)	 	A certificate of an authorized signing officer of Agent as to each amount
and/or each rate of interest payable hereunder from time to time shall be conclusive
evidence of such amount and of such rate, absent manifest error.
	 
	 	(f)	 	For greater certainty, whenever any amount is payable under any Financing
Agreement by Borrower as interest or as a fee which requires the calculation of an

- 38 -

 

	 	 	 	amount using a percentage per annum, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and
agrees that such amount shall be calculated as of the date payment is due without
application of the “deemed reinvestment principle” or the “effective yield method”.
As an example, when interest is calculated and payable monthly, the rate of interest
payable per month is 1/12 of the stated rate of interest per annum.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Any Euro Dollar Rate Loan shall automatically, at Agent’s option, either (i)
convert to US Prime Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period or
(ii) be rolled over for a further one (1) month Interest Period, unless Agent has
received and approved a request to continue such Euro Dollar Rate Loan for an Interest
Period chosen by Borrower at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in
accordance with the terms hereof. Any Euro Dollar Rate Loan shall, at Agent’s option,
upon notice by Agent to Borrower, be subsequently converted to US Prime Rate Loans upon
the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default which is continuing and otherwise
upon the Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Agent, upon demand by Agent (or Agent
may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrower), any amounts required to
compensate Agent and Lenders for any loss, costs or expense incurred by Agent and
Lenders as a result of the conversion of Euro Dollar Rate Loans to US Prime Rate Loans
pursuant to any of the foregoing. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default that is continuing, or if Borrower repays or prepays a Euro Dollar Rate Loan on
a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, Borrower shall
indemnify Agent and Lenders for any loss or expense suffered or incurred by Agent or
Lenders including any loss of profit or expenses Agent or Lenders incur by reason of
the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by it to effect or
maintain any and all Euro Dollar Rate Loans or any interest or other charges payable to
lenders of funds borrowed by Agent and Lenders in order to maintain such Euro Dollar
Rate Loans together with any other charges, costs or expenses incurred by Agent and
Lenders relative thereto.
	 
	 	(h)	 	So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and the circumstances in Section 3.2(b) and 3.2(c) do not exist,
Borrower may from time to time request in writing Euro Dollar Rate Loans or may request
in writing that US Prime Rate Loans be converted to Euro Dollar Rate Loans or that any
existing Euro Dollar Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such
request from Borrower shall specify the amount of the Euro Dollar Rate Loans or the
amount of the US Prime Rate Loans to be converted to Euro Dollar Rate Loans or the
amount of the Euro Dollar Rate Loans to be continued (subject to the limits set forth
below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such Euro Dollar Rate Loans.
Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after
receipt by Agent of such a written request from Borrower, such Euro Dollar Rate Loans
shall be made or US Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to Euro Dollar Rate Loans or
such Euro Dollar Rate Loans shall continue, as applicable; provided,
that:

- 39 -

 

	 	(i)	 	no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and
be continuing;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of
this Agreement;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as
are generally established by Agent and Lenders for all customers and specified
by Agent and Lenders to Borrower from time to time for requests by Borrower for
Euro Dollar Rate Loans;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	no more than six (6) Interest Periods (for all outstanding Euro
Dollar Rate Loans) may be in effect at any one time;
	 
	 	(v)	 	the aggregate amount of the Euro Dollar Rate Loans must be in
an amount not less than Five Million US Dollars ($5,000,000) or an integral
multiple of One Million US Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof; and
	 
	 	(vi)	 	Agent and Lenders shall have determined that the Interest
Period or Adjusted Euro Dollar Rate is available to Agent and Lenders and can
be readily determined as of the date of the request for such Euro Dollar Rate
Loan by Borrower.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, any request by Borrower to Agent for Euro
Dollar Rate Loans or to convert US Prime Rate Loans to Euro Dollar Rate Loans or to continue any
existing Euro Dollar Rate Loans shall be in writing and shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent and Lenders shall not be required to purchase US
Dollar deposits in the London interbank market to fund any Euro Dollar Rate Loans, but the
provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Agent or Lenders had purchased such deposits to
fund the Euro Dollar Rate Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, any request
by Borrower to Agent for a US Prime Rate Loan shall be in writing, shall be irrevocable and shall
be given to Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day upon which Borrower requires such US
Prime Rate Loan to be advanced to Borrower and if such request is provided after 11:00 a.m. on a
Business Day then such US Prime Rate Loan shall be advanced on the next following Business Day.

3.2 Increased Costs and Changes in Law

	 	(a)	 	If after the date hereof, either:

	 	(i)	 	any change in (other than any change by way of imposition or
increase of reserve requirements included in the Reserve Percentage), or in the
interpretation of, any law or regulation is introduced, including with respect
to reserve requirements, applicable to a Lender or any banking or financial
institution from whom a Lender borrows funds or obtains credit (a “Funding
Bank”); or

- 40 -

 

	 	(ii)	 	a Funding Bank or a Lender complies with any future guideline
or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a Funding Bank or a Lender determines that the adoption of any
applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change
therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof has or would have the effect described
below, or a Funding Bank or a Lender complies with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law where
customarily complied with by responsible financial institutions) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, and in the case of any event set
forth in this clause (iii), such adoption, change or compliance has or
would have the direct or indirect effect of reducing the rate of return on a
Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below
that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration the Funding Bank’s or Lender’s policies
with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be
material,

and the result of any of the foregoing events described in clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii) is or results in an increase in the cost to a Lender of funding or maintaining the
Loans, or its Commitment, then Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by Agent pay to Agent
additional amounts sufficient to indemnify Lenders against such increased cost on an after-tax
basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount
indemnified); provided that a Lender claiming additional amounts under this
Section 3.2(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and
legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different applicable lending office if the making
of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that
may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be
submitted to Borrower by Agent and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

	 	(b)	 	If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

	 	(i)	 	Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the Adjusted Euro Dollar Rate for such Interest Period;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Agent has received notice from a Lender that that Adjusted Euro
Dollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
Euro Dollar Rate Loans during such Interest Period; or

- 41 -

 

	 	(iii)	 	US Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Euro Dollar
Rate Loans to which such Interest Period is to be applicable are not generally
available in the London interbank market,

Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower as soon as practicable thereafter (which notice shall
be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist). If such notice is given (A) any Euro
Dollar Rate Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as a
US Prime Rate Loan, (B) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such
Interest Period to or continue as Euro Dollar Rate Loans shall be converted to or continued as US
Prime Rate Loans and (C) each outstanding Euro Dollar Rate Loan shall be converted, on the last day
of the then-current Interest Period thereof, to US Prime Rate Loans. Until such notice has been
withdrawn by Agent, no further Euro Dollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall
Borrower have the right to convert U.S. Prime Rate Loans to Euro Dollar Rate Loans.

	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in
any law, treaty, rule or regulation or final, non-appealable determination of an
arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or in the interpretation or
application thereof occurring after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for Agent or
any Lender to make or maintain Euro Dollar Rate Loans as contemplated by this
Agreement:

	 	(i)	 	Agent shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances
to Borrower (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no
longer exist); provided, however, that, before making
any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with
its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a
different Euro Dollar lending office if the making of such a designation would
allow such Lender or its Euro dollar lending office to continue to perform its
obligations to make Euro Dollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain
Euro Dollar Rate Loans and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the commitment of each Lender hereunder to make Euro Dollar
Rate Loans, continue Euro Dollar Rate Loans as such and convert US Prime Rate
Loans to Euro Dollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such
time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Euro
Dollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make a US
Prime Rate Loan when a Euro Dollar Rate Loan is requested; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Euro Dollar Rate
Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to US Prime Rate Loans on the
respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such
Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion
of a Euro Dollar Rate Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the
then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrower shall pay to

- 42 -

 

	 	 	 	such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section
3.2(d) below.

	 	(d)	 	Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Lender and shall hold Agent and each
Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Agent or such Lender may sustain or
incur as a consequence of:

	 	(i)	 	default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into
or extension of an Euro Dollar Rate Loan after Borrower has given a notice
requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the making of a prepayment of Euro Dollar Rate Loans on a day
which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.

With respect to Euro Dollar Rate Loans, such indemnification may include an amount equal to the
greater of (i) the excess, if any, of (1) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or extended, for the period from the date of such
prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or extend to the last day of the applicable
Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or extend, the Interest Period
that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of
interest for such Euro Dollar Rate Loans provided for herein over (2) the amount of
interest (as determined by such Agent or such Lender) which would have accrued to Agent or such
Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks
in the interbank Euro Dollar market; and (ii) an amount equal to the interest that would have been
payable if the Euro Dollar Rate Loan had been a US Prime Rate Loan. This covenant shall survive
the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

	 	(e)	 	In the event that Borrower has hedged a Euro Dollar Rate Loan with an interest
rate swap with Agent, a Lender or any of its Affiliates under which Borrower is to make
its payments based on a fixed rate and Agent, such Lender or any of its Affiliates is
to make its payments based on a rate equal to the Adjusted Euro Dollar Rate, then the
fallback rate (being the US Prime Rate in the circumstances described in this
Section 3.2) on any given day while the swap with Agent, such Lender or any of
its Affiliates is in effect will be the sum of (i) the fallback floating rate payable
by Agent, such Lender or any of its Affiliates that is in effect under the interest
rate swap for that day (without regard to any interest rate spread added thereto under
the terms of the interest rate swap) plus (ii) the percentage spread in the definition
of Interest Rate applicable to Euro Dollar Rate Loans.
	 
	 	(f)	 	In the event any Lender demands payment of costs or additional amounts pursuant
to this Section 3.2 or Section 9.4 or asserts, pursuant to Section
3.2(c), that it is unlawful for such Lender to make Euro Dollar Rate Loans or
becomes a Non-Funding Lender then (subject to such Lender’s right to rescind such
demand or assertion within ten (10) Business Days after the notice from the Borrower
referred to below) Borrower may, upon twenty (20) Business Days’ prior written notice
to such Lender and Agent, elect to cause such Lender to assign its Loans

- 43 -

 

	 	 	 	and Commitments in full to one or more Persons selected by Borrower so long as (i)
each such Person satisfies the criteria of an Eligible Transferee and is
satisfactory to Agent, (ii) such Lender receives payment in full in cash of the
outstanding principal amount of all Loans made by it and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable to such Lender as of the date
of such assignment and (iii) each such assignee agrees to accept such assignment and
to assume all obligations of such Lender hereunder in accordance with Section
11.1.

3.3 Servicing Fee

Borrower shall pay to Agent monthly a servicing fee in an amount equal to $5,000 in respect of
Agent’s services for each month (or part thereof) while this Agreement remains in effect and for so
long thereafter as any of the non-contingent Obligations (other than Letter of Credit
Accommodations) are outstanding, which fee shall be fully earned as of and payable in advance on
the date hereof and on the first day of each month hereafter.

3.4 Unused Line Fee

	 	(a)	 	Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders based on their
respective Pro Rata Shares, monthly an unused line fee at a rate equal to one quarter
of one percent (0.25%) per annum calculated upon the amount by which the then
applicable Maximum Revolving Credit exceeds the average daily principal balance of the
outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations during the immediately
preceding month (or part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long
thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding, which fee shall be payable on the
first day of each month in arrears. For further clarity, no Obligations will be
outstanding once this Agreement has been terminated and all Obligations have been fully
and indefeasibly satisfied and cash collateral has been posted in the full amount then
outstanding of any Letter of Credit Accommodations, if any.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders based on their
respective Pro Rata Shares, monthly an unused line fee at a rate equal to one quarter
of one percent (0.25%) per annum calculated upon the amount by which the then
applicable Maximum Revolving Term Credit exceeds the average of the daily principal
balance of the outstanding Revolving Term Loans during the immediately preceding month
(or part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and up to and including the
Revolving Term Loan Term Conversion Date, which fee shall be payable on the first day
of each month in arrears with the final payment thereof due on the Revolving Term Loan
Term Conversion Date.

3.5 Closing Fee

Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares,
a closing fee in the amount of $200,000, which closing fee shall be fully earned by each Lender and
paid by Borrower on the date of the execution of this Agreement.

COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION

6.1 Borrower’s Loan Account

Agent shall maintain one or more loan account(s) on its books in which shall be recorded: (a) all
Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations and other Obligations and the Collateral; (b) all payments
made by or on behalf of Borrower; and (c) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in
this Agreement, including fees, charges, costs, expenses and interest. All entries in the loan
account(s) shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary practices as in effect from time to
time.

6.2 Statements

Agent shall render to Borrower each month a statement setting forth the balance in Borrower’s loan
account(s) maintained by Agent for Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including
principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent
adjustment by Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and
deemed accepted by Borrower and conclusively binding upon Borrower as an account stated except to
the extent that Agent receives a written notice from Borrower of any specific exceptions of
Borrower thereto within thirty (30) days after the date such statement has been mailed by Agent.
Until such time as Agent shall have rendered to Borrower a written statement as provided above, the
balance in Borrower’s loan account(s) shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to
Agent and Lenders by Borrower.

6.3 Collection of Accounts

	 	(a)	 	Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its expense, blocked accounts (the
“Blocked Accounts”), as Agent may specify, and Agent may establish and

 - 46 - 

 

	 	 	 	maintain bank accounts of Agent (“Payment Accounts”) in each case with such banks as
are acceptable to Agent into which Borrower shall, in accordance with Agent’s
instructions, promptly deposit and direct its account debtors that remit payments by
electronic funds transfers to directly remit, all payments on Accounts and all
payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral, with the exception
of payments received in connection with Excluded Accounts, in the identical form in
which such payments are made, whether by cash, cheque or other manner. The banks at
which the Blocked Accounts are established shall enter into an agreement, in form
and substance satisfactory to Agent, providing that all items received or deposited
in the Blocked Accounts are subject to the first priority Lien of Agent, that the
depository bank has no Lien upon, or right to set-off against the Blocked Accounts,
the items received for deposit therein, or the funds from time to time on deposit
therein and that upon receipt of Agent’s notice that a Cash Dominion Event has
occurred and is continuing, the depository bank will, without further inquiry, wire,
or otherwise transfer, in immediately available funds, on a daily basis, all funds
received or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to the Payment Accounts or such
other bank account of Agent as Agent may from time to time designate for such
purpose. Borrower agrees that all payments made to such Blocked Accounts shall be
subject to the first priority security interest of Agent for the benefit of Secured
Parties and that all payments made, in accordance with this Section, to such Payment
Accounts or other funds received and collected by Agent, whether on the Accounts or
as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall be the property of
Agent on behalf of Secured Parties to the extent of any outstanding Obligations.

	 	(b)	 	Such payments made to the Payment Account (conditional upon final collection
which may be subject to fees, expenses and charges resulting from things such as the
dishonour of cheques), will be applied, for all purposes, including for purposes of
calculating the amount of the Revolving Loans available to Borrower and of calculating
interest on the Loans, to the Loans on the same Business Day of receipt by Agent of
immediately available funds in the Payment Account provided such payments and notice
thereof are received in accordance with Agent’s usual and customary practices as in
effect from time to time and within sufficient time to credit Borrower’s loan account
on such day, and if not, then on the next Business Day. If Agent receives funds in a
Payment Account at any time at which no Loans are outstanding or in excess of then
outstanding Loans, Agent shall hold such funds in trust for Borrower and shall, if no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, by no later than the
Business Day following receipt by Agent of: (i) immediately available funds in the
Payment Account, provided such payments and notice thereof are received in accordance
with Agent’s usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time; and (ii) a
direction from Borrower to advance such funds, advance such excess funds to the Blocked
Account. Agent shall no later than the Business Day following the day on which there
ceases to be a Cash Dominion Event, deliver to the bank at which the Blocked Account is
maintained an executed “Unblocked Notice” in the form attached to the Blocked Account
Agreement.

 - 47 - 

 

	 	(c)	 	Borrower and all of its affiliates, Subsidiaries, shareholders, directors,
employees or agents shall receive, subject to the first priority security interest of
Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, any monies, cheques, notes, drafts or any
other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, with the
exception of Excluded Accounts, which come into their possession or under their control
and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited
in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind,
to Agent. Borrower agrees to reimburse Agent on demand for any amounts owed or paid by
Agent to any bank at which a Blocked Account or Payment Account is established or any
other bank or person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts
or the Payment Accounts arising out of Agent’s required payments to or indemnification
of such bank or person. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Agent for such amounts
pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.4 Payments

	 	(a)	 	All Obligations (other than obligations, liabilities and indebtedness in
connection with any Secured Hedging Agreement (which shall be paid in accordance with
the terms thereof)) shall be payable to the Payment Account as provided in Section
6.3 or such other place in Canada as Agent may designate from time to time. Agent
shall apply payments received or collected from Borrower or for the account of Borrower
(including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral)
as follows:

	 	(i)	 	first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expenses
reimbursements then due to Agent or Lenders from Borrower;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	second, to pay interest then due in respect of any
Loans;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	third, to pay principal then due in respect of the
Loans and outstanding obligations due under Secured Hedging Agreements;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	fourth, to pay the outstanding Loans, and after the
occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to pay or
pre-pay such of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and
manner as Agent determines.

	 	(b)	 	Payments and collections received in any currency other than Canadian Dollars
or US Dollars will be accepted and/or applied at the sole discretion of Agent. At
Agent’s option, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges
provided for in the Financing Agreements or the Secured Hedging Agreements may be
charged directly to the loan account(s) of Borrower. Borrower shall make all payments
to Agent on the Obligations free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for
or on account of, any set-off, counterclaim, defence, duties, taxes, levies, imposts,
fees, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind. If after
receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to

 - 48 - 

 

	 	 	 	the payment of, any of the Obligations, Agent is required to surrender or return
such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended
to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and
this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or
proceeds had not been received by Agent. Borrower shall be liable to pay to Agent,
and does hereby indemnify and hold Agent harmless for the amount of any payments or
proceeds surrendered or returned. Section 6.4 shall remain effective
notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Agent in reliance upon
such payment or proceeds. The indemnification in the second preceding sentence
shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

6.5 Authorization to Make Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations

Each Lender is authorized to make the Loans and provide the Letter of Credit Accommodations based
upon written instructions received by Agent from the persons authorized by Borrower as notified in
writing by Borrower to Agent from time to time or, at the discretion of Lenders, if such Loans are
necessary to satisfy any Obligations. All requests for Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations
hereunder shall specify the date on which the requested advance is to be made or Letter of Credit
Accommodations established (which day shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested
Loan. Requests received after 11:00 a.m. Toronto time on any day shall be deemed to have been made
as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. All Loans and Letter of
Credit Accommodations under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to, and
at the request of and for the benefit of, Borrower when deposited to the credit of Borrower or
otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of Borrower or in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6.6 Use of Proceeds

Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans provided by Lenders to Borrower hereunder for (a)
costs, expenses and fees in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of
the Financing Agreements and (b) any remaining proceeds and all other Loans made or Letter of
Credit Accommodations provided by Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be
used by Borrower only for general operating, working capital and other proper corporate purposes of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof

6.7 Pro Rata Treatment

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, (a) the making and conversion of Loans
shall be made by Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to the Loans and (b) each
payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of Lenders or their
respective Affiliates in respect of any Obligations due on a particular day shall be allocated
among the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, entitled to such payments based
on their respective Pro Rata Shares or Obligations, as the case may be, and shall be distributed
accordingly.

 - 49 - 

 

6.8 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights

The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
obligations or commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement or
any of the other Financing Agreements and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto
shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, as association, a joint venture or
any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a
separate and independent debt, and subject to Section 11.13(f) hereof, each Lender shall be
entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be
necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose.

ARTICLE 8

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender the following (which shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement), the truth and accuracy of which are a continuing
condition of the making of Revolving Loans and providing Letter of Credit Accommodations by Lenders
to Borrower:

8.1 Corporate Existence, Power and Authority; Subsidiaries; Solvency

Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and duly organized under the laws of
its jurisdiction of incorporation and is duly qualified or registered as a foreign or
extra-provincial corporation in all provinces, states or other jurisdictions where the nature and
extent of the business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification
necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a
material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, results of operation or business or the
rights of Agent in or to any of the Collateral. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Financing Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are all within Borrower’s
corporate powers, have been duly authorized and are not in contravention of law or the terms of
Borrower’s

 - 58 - 

 

certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational documentation, or any indenture,
agreement or undertaking to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or its property are
bound. The Financing Agreements constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. Borrower does not have any Subsidiaries
except as set forth on the Information Certificate and on the Borrower’s corporate structure chart
attached as Schedule 8.1 hereto. Borrower is not insolvent.

8.2 Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change

All financial statements relating to Borrower which have been or may hereafter be delivered by
Borrower to Agent have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial
condition and the results of operation of Borrower as at the dates and for the periods set forth
therein. Except as disclosed in any interim financial statements furnished by Borrower to Agent
prior to the date of this Agreement, there has been no material adverse change in the assets,
liabilities, properties and condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower, since the date of the
most recent audited financial statements furnished by Borrower to Agent prior to the date of this
Agreement.

8.3 Chief Executive Office; Collateral Locations

The chief executive office of Borrower and Borrower’s Records concerning Accounts are located only
at the address set forth on the Borrower’s signature page below and its only other places of
business and the only other locations of Collateral, if any, are the addresses set forth in the
Information Certificate, subject to the right of Borrower to establish new locations in accordance
with Section 9.2 below and to move Inventory and Equipment as permitted in Sections
7.3 and 7.4, respectively. The Information Certificate correctly identifies any of
such locations which are not owned by Borrower and sets forth the owners and/or operators thereof
and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the holders of any mortgages on such locations.

8.4 Priority of Liens; Title to Properties

The Liens granted to Agent and Original Lender under the Financing Agreements constitute valid and
perfected first priority Liens in and upon the Collateral subject only to Permitted Liens.
Borrower has good and marketable title to all of its properties and assets subject to no Liens,
except Permitted Liens.

8.5 Tax Returns

Borrower has filed, or caused to be filed, in a timely manner (with extensions) all tax returns,
reports and declarations which are required to be filed by it (except those in respect of taxes the
calculation or payment of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently pursued and available to Borrower and except for those returns for those jurisdictions
in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of
Borrower). All information in such tax returns, reports and declarations is complete and accurate
in all material respects. Borrower has paid or caused to be paid all taxes due and payable or
claimed due and payable in any assessment received by it, except taxes the validity of which are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and available to
Borrower and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside on its books.

 - 59 - 

 

Adequate provision has been made for the payment of all accrued and unpaid federal, provincial,
municipal, local, foreign and other taxes whether or not yet due and payable and whether or not
disputed.

8.6 Litigation

Except as set forth on the Information Certificate, there is no present investigation by any
Governmental Authority pending, or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge threatened, against or
affecting Borrower, its assets or business and there is no action, suit, proceeding or claim by any
Person pending, or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge threatened, against Borrower or its assets
or business, or against or affecting any transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which in each
of the foregoing cases, can reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in the
assets or business of Borrower or would impair the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations
under any of the Financing Agreements to which it is a party or of Agent to enforce any Obligations
or realize upon any Collateral.

8.7 Compliance with Other Agreements and Applicable Laws

Borrower is not in default in any respect under, or in violation in any respect of any of the terms
of, any agreement, contract, instrument, lease or other commitment to which it is a party or by
which it or any of its assets are bound, including the Contracts and Leases, and Borrower is in
compliance in all respects with all applicable provisions of laws, rules, regulations, licenses,
permits, approvals and orders of any foreign, federal, provincial or local governmental authority
except for any default or lack of compliance that would not reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on (a) the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
performance, properties or prospects of Borrower, (b) the rights and remedies of any Agent or any
Lender under any Financing Agreement or (c) the ability of Borrower or any Obligor to performs its
obligations under any Financing Agreement to which it is a party.

8.8 Bank Accounts

All of the deposit accounts, investment accounts or other accounts in the name of or used by
Borrower maintained at any bank or other financial institution are set forth on Schedule
8.8 hereto, subject to the right of Borrower to establish new accounts in accordance with
Section 9.17 below.

All information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower in writing to Agent or a Lender in connection
with any of the Financing Agreements or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including
all information on the Information Certificate, is true and correct in all material respects on the
date as of which such information is dated or certified and does not omit any material fact
necessary in order to make such information not misleading, in addition, the Information
Certificate attaches the form(s) of the agreements generally used for the Capital Leases and
Operating Leases, together with a breakdown of which agreements constitute Capital Leases and which
agreements constitute Operating Leases, together with any and all exceptions thereto, and have been
delivered to Agent for review. Borrower represents and warrants that none of the Contracts and
Leases include contractual provisions restricting the assignability

 - 60 - 

 

thereof to any Lender or Agent or to an assignee thereof upon exercise of the Financing Agreements,
with the exception of those restrictive provisions set out on Schedule 8.9 hereof. No
event or circumstance has occurred which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse affect on the business or assets of Borrower, which has not been fully and accurately
disclosed to Agent in writing.

proceeding, action or claim.
	 
	 	(j)	 	Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable

determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and to the best of Borrower’s
knowledge, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such qualification

business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or
prospects of Borrower, (ii) the rights and remedies of any Agent or any Lender under
any Financing Agreement or (iii) the ability of Borrower or any Obligor to perform

material liability to the Plan.

in a material liability to the Plan; (ii) Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates have not

incurred and do not reasonably expect to incur any liability (and no event has occurred
which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in
such liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a
Multiemployer Plan; and (iv) Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates have not engaged in a
transaction that would be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of any such additional amount that may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(and shall upon the instruction of Required Lenders), in its discretion: (i) accelerate
the payment of all outstanding Obligations (other than Obligations in connection with
Secured Hedging Agreements which may be terminated in accordance with their own terms)
and demand immediate payment thereof to Agent (provided, that, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(f) and
10.1(g), all outstanding Obligations (other than Obligations in connection with
Secured Hedging Agreements which may be terminated in accordance with their own terms)
shall automatically become immediately due and payable); (ii) with or without judicial
process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any
of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete
processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral and carry
on the business of Borrower; (iii) require Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, to assemble
and make available to Agent any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time
designated by Agent; (iv) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, set-off and realize
upon any and all Collateral; (v) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises
on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale,

all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of Borrower,
which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by
Borrower; (vii) without limiting clause (vi), grant a general, special or other license
in respect of any aspect of the Collateral on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis to
any person throughout the world or any part of it and on such terms and on such
conditions as Agent may consider appropriate; (viii) enforce against any licensee or
other person all rights and remedies of Borrower with respect to all or any part of the
Collateral, and take or refrain from taking any action that Borrower might take with
respect to any of those rights and remedies, and for this purpose Agent shall have the
exclusive right to enforce or refrain from enforcing those rights and remedies, and may
in the name of Borrower and at its expense retain and instruct counsel and initiate any
court or other proceeding that Agent considers necessary or expedient; (ix) take any
step necessary to preserve, maintain or insure the whole or any part of the Collateral
or to realize upon any of it put it in vendable condition, and any amount paid as a
result of any

- 84 -

security, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges, and otherwise deal

security interest created under any Financing Agreement; and/or (xiii) terminate
this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Agent upon credit
terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result
thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Agent. If notice of
disposition of Collateral is required by law, five (5) days prior notice by Agent to
Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which
any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be
deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Borrower waives any other notice. In the
event Agent institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any
Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, Borrower waives the posting of any bond
which might otherwise be required.

incurred by Agent as a result of enforcing against the IP

- 85 -

attorney-in-fact and authorizes Agent (and all persons designated by Agent)
to effect the foregoing.

Borrower and/or (ii) terminate any provision of this Agreement providing for any future
Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to be made by Lenders to Borrower.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Agent may appoint, remove and reappoint any person or persons, including an
employee or agent of Agent or a Lender to be a receiver (the “Receiver”) which term
shall include a receiver and manager of, or agent for, all or any part of the
Collateral. Any such Receiver shall, as far as concerns responsibility for his acts,
be deemed to be the agent of Borrower and not of Agent or Lenders, and Agent and
Lenders shall not in any way be responsible for any misconduct, negligence or
non-feasance of such Receiver, his employees or agents. Except as otherwise directed
by Agent, all money received by such Receiver shall be received in trust for and paid
to Agent. Such Receiver shall have all of the powers and rights of Agent described in
this Section 10.2. Agent may, either directly or through its agents or
nominees, exercise any or all powers and rights of a Receiver.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Where Agent realizes upon any of the Collateral, and in particular upon any of
the IP Collateral, Borrower shall provide without charge its know-how and expertise
relating to the use and application of the Collateral, and in particular shall instruct
Agent, and any purchaser of the Collateral designated by Agent, concerning any IP
Collateral including any confidential information or trade secrets of Borrower. For
greater certainty, the parties agree that unless such confidential information or trade
secrets form part of the Collateral being realized upon, such confidential information
or trade secrets shall be provided for use only subject to any agreement regarding the
confidentiality thereof or for the protection thereof as may be reasonably requested by
Borrower.
	 
	 	(i)	 	Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by Agent
or Lenders or any Receiver or any nominee or agent of Agent or Lenders, whether
directly or for services rendered (including solicitor’s costs on a solicitor and his

- 86 -

 

	 	 	 	own client basis, auditor’s costs, other legal expenses and Receiver remuneration)
in enforcing any Financing Agreement and in enforcing or collecting Obligations and
all such expenses together with any money owing as a result of any borrowing
permitted hereby shall be a charge on the proceeds of realization and shall be
secured hereby.

ARTICLE 11

ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT

	11.1	 	Assignment and Participations

	 	(a)	 	Subject to the terms of this Section 11.1, any Lender may make an
assignment or sale of participations in, at any time or times, the Financing
Agreements, Loans and any Commitment or any portion thereof or interest therein,
including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder.
Any assignment by a Lender shall:

	 	(i)	 	be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	require the consent of Agent and Borrower provided
that:

	 	(A)	 	such consent is not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed; and
	 
	 	(B)	 	the consent of Borrower shall not be required
if:

	 	(1)	 	an Event of Default or Default
shall have occurred and be continuing; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	such assignment is to an Eligible
Transferee;

	 	(iii)	 	not be to a Prohibited Transferee;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	be effected by the execution of an assignment Agreement (an
“Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as
Schedule 11.1(a)(iv) and otherwise in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent;
	 
	 	(v)	 	be conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the
assigning Lender and Agent that it is purchasing the applicable Loans to be
assigned to it for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view
to the distribution thereof; and
	 
	 	(vi)	 	include a payment to Agent of an assignment fee of Three
Thousand Five Hundred US Dollars ($3,500).

In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 11.1, the assignee shall have,
to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all other Lenders

- 87 -

 

hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its
Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. Borrower
hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of
Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender”. In all
instances, each Lender’s liability to make Loans hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall
be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event any Lender
assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Obligations, such Lender shall so notify
Borrower and Borrower shall, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, execute new Term Notes in
exchange for the Term Notes, if any, being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 11.1(a), any Lender may at any time pledge the Obligations held by it and such
Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to the Bank of Canada or
the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation; provided, that no such pledge to the Bank
of Canada or the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation shall release such Lender from such Lender’s
obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement.

	 	(b)	 	Any sale of a participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitments
shall be made with the understanding that all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder
shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation, and that the
holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take
or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any
reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or fees payable with respect to
any Loan in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of the scheduled
amortization of the principal amount of any Loan in which such holder participates or
the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of
the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other
Financing Agreements). Neither Agent nor any Lender (other than a Lender selling a
participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely
with Lenders selling a participation as if no such sale had occurred. No consent of
Borrower is required with respect to the sale of a participation by a Lender of all or
any part of its Commitment. No sale of a participation by a Lender of all or any part
of its Commitment shall be made to a Prohibited Transferee.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Except as expressly provided in this Section 11.1, no Lender shall, as
between Borrower and that Lender, or Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its
obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of,
or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Loans, the Term Notes or other
Obligations owed to such Lender.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Borrower shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or
participations under this Section 11.1 as reasonably required to enable the
assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including
the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and
instruments as shall be requested, the preparation of informational materials for, and
the participation of management in meetings with, potential assignees or participants.
Borrower shall certify the correctness, completeness and accuracy of all descriptions
of Borrower and its respective affairs contained in any selling

- 88 -

 

	 	 	 	materials provided by it and all other information provided by it and included in
such materials.
	 
	 	(e)	 	A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower in the possession of
such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective
assignees and participants) provided such Persons agree to maintain the confidentiality
of such information.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Borrower may not assign its rights under the Financing Agreements and any other
document referred to herein or therein without the prior written consent of Agent and
all Lenders.

	11.2	 	Appointment of Agent

	 	(a)	 	Agent is hereby appointed to act on behalf of Lenders as Agent under this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. The provisions of this Section
11.2 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and neither Borrower nor any
other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the
provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the
other Financing Agreements, Agent shall act solely as an agent and mandatory of Lenders
and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or
relationship of agency, mandatory or trust with or for Borrower or any Person other
than Lenders. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except for those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. The duties
of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and Agent shall not have, or
be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreement or
otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, Agent shall not have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information
relating to Borrower, Obligors or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any account
debtor that is communicated to or obtained by Agent or any of its affiliates in any
capacity. Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other
Financing Agreement, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages caused
by its or their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined by a final and
non-appealable judgment or court order binding on them.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If Agent shall request instructions from all Lenders, all affected Lenders or
Required Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any act or action (including
failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement,
then Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and
until Agent shall have received instructions from all Lenders, all affected Lenders or
Required Lenders, as the case may be, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person
by reason of so refraining. Agent shall be fully

- 89 -

 

	 	 	 	justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other
Financing Agreement (i) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, be contrary
to law or the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement; (ii) if such
action would, in the opinion of Agent, expose Agent to liabilities under
Environmental Laws; or (iii) if Agent shall not first be indemnified to its
satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it
by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the
foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a
result of Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other
Financing Agreement in accordance with the instructions of all Lenders, all affected
Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be.

	11.3	 	Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or
employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in
connection with this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, except for damages caused by its
or their own negligence or wilful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment
or court order binding on them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (i) may
treat the payee of any Term Note as the holder thereof until Agent receives written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent;
(ii) may consult with legal counsel, 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; (iii) makes no warranty or
representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Financing
Agreements; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Financing
Agreements on the part of Borrower or to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records)
of Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Financing
Agreements or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall
incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements by
acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by
telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper
party or parties.

	11.4	 	Agent and Affiliates

With respect to any of its Commitments hereunder, Agent shall have the same rights and powers under
this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated, include Agent in its individual capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to,
invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, any of its Affiliates and
any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower or any such Affiliate, all as if
Agent were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. Agent and its Affiliates
may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for

- 90 -

 

services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to
Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between Agent as a Lender and
Agent as agent hereunder.

	11.5	 	Lender Credit Decision

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other
Lender and based on the Information Certificate and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of Borrower and its own decision to
enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each
other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly
consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

	11.6	 	Indemnification

Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the
obligations of Borrower hereunder), rateably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any other Financing Agreement or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in connection
therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined by a final
and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, each
Lender agrees to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its rateable share according to its Pro
Rata Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by Agent
in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Financing Agreement, to
the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrower.

	11.7	 	Failure to Act

Except for action expressly required of Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements,
Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder
unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their
indemnification obligations under Section 11.6 hereof against any and all liability and
expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

- 91 -

 

	11.8	 	Concerning the Collateral and the Related Financing Agreements

Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement or the other Financing Agreements and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth
therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be
binding upon Lenders.

	11.9	 	Field Audit, Examination Reports and other Information; Disclaimer by Lenders.

By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

	 	(a)	 	deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, within a reasonable
time after it becomes available to Agent, a copy of each field audit, examination
report, Compliance Certificate, Borrowing Base Certificate and/or other documentation
(each such audit, report, certificate or documentation being referred to herein as a
“Report” and collectively, “Reports”);
	 
	 	(b)	 	expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent (i) does not make any
representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall not be
liable for any information contained in any Report;
	 
	 	(c)	 	expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits
or examinations, that Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will
inspect only specific information regarding Borrower and will rely significantly upon
Borrower’s books and records, as well as on representations of Borrower’s personnel;
and
	 
	 	(d)	 	agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use and
not to distribute or use any Report in any other manner.

	11.10	 	Collateral Matters

	 	(a)	 	Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent at its option and in its discretion
to release any Lien upon any of the Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments
and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations and delivery of cash collateral
to the extent required under Section 13.1 below; or (ii) constituting property
being sold or disposed of if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition
is made in compliance with Section 9.7 hereof (and Agent may rely conclusively
on any such certificate, without further enquiry); or (iii) constituting property in
which Borrower did not own an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time
thereafter; or (iv) if required under the terms of any of the other Financing
Agreements, including any intercreditor agreement; or (v) approved, authorized or
ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.15 hereof. Except as
provided above, Agent will not release any Lien upon any of the Collateral without the
prior written authorization required in accordance with Section 11.15 hereof.

- 92 - 

 

	 	(b)	 	Without any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or
further authorization or consent by applicable Lenders, each Lender, as applicable,
agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent, the authority to release
Collateral conferred upon Agent under this Section. Agent shall (and is hereby
irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to
evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent upon any Collateral to the extent
set forth above; provided, that, (i) Agent shall not be required to
execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to
liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of
such Lien without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner
discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any
Borrower in respect of) the Collateral retained by Borrower.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to
investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or is
cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that any particular items of
Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect of the Loans hereunder,
or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the Liens granted to Agent
pursuant hereto or any of the Financing Agreements or otherwise have been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to
any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any
duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights,
authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Agreement or in any of the
other Financing Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of
Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner
it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the
Collateral as a Lender and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any
other Lender.

	11.11	 	Successor Agent

Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof
to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right to
appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving
notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor
Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise
shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or
financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution or other entity whose
business includes making commercial loans, in each case, is organized under the laws of Canada or
of any province thereof. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing,
within thirty (30) days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent,
such resignation shall become effective and Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the
duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as
provided above. Any successor Agent appointed by Required Lenders hereunder shall be subject to
the approval of Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably

- 93 - 

 

withheld or delayed; provided, that such approval shall not be required if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the
resigning Agent’s resignation, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, except that any indemnity
rights or other rights in favour of such resigning Agent shall continue. After any resigning
Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 11 shall inure to its benefit
as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent under this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.

	11.12	 	Setoff and Sharing of Payments

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default and subject to Section 11.13(f), each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or
from time to time, without notice to Borrower or to any other Person other than Agent, any such
notice being hereby expressly waived, to setoff and to appropriate and to apply any and all
balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of Borrower (regardless of whether such
balances are then due to Borrower) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by
that Lender to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower against and on account of any of
the Obligations that are not paid when due; provided, that Lenders exercising such
setoff rights shall give notice thereof to Borrower promptly after exercising such rights. Any
Lender exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the
Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lender
shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as
would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so setoff or otherwise received with
the other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Borrower agrees, to the
fullest extent permitted by law that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to setoff with respect
to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such
amounts so setoff to the other Lenders; and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in a Loan
made or other Obligations held by the other Lenders may exercise all rights of setoff, bankers’
lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
were a direct holder of the Loan and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the setoff amount or payment otherwise
received is thereafter recovered from a Lender that has exercised the right of setoff, the purchase
of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without
interest.

	11.13	 	Advances; Payments; Non-Funding Lenders; Information; Actions in Concert

	 	(a)	 	Advances; Payments

	 	(i)	 	In each funding notice provided by Agent to a Lender hereunder,
Agent shall provide such Lender with written confirmation (by telephone,
telecopy or email (if such Lender has provided email notice coordinates to

- 94 - 

 

	 	 	 	Agent)) that all conditions precedent hereunder to such funding have been
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of such Loan available to Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to
Agent’s account not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the requested
funding date (which must be a Business Day). After receipt of such wire
transfers (or, in Agent’s sole discretion, before receipt of such wire
transfers), subject to the terms hereof, Agent shall make the requested Loan to
Borrower. All payments by each Lender shall be made without setoff,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	On the 2nd Business Day of each calendar month or more
frequently at Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise
each Lender by telephone, telecopy or email (if such Lender has provided email
notice coordinates to Agent) of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
principal, interest and fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to
each applicable Loan. Provided that each Lender has funded all payments and
Loans required to be made by it and purchased all participations required to be
purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements as of
such Settlement Date, Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of principal, interest and fees paid by Borrower since the previous
Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the portion of the Loans held
by it. To the extent that any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) has failed to
fund all such payments and Loans or failed to fund the purchase of all such
participations, Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall
against that Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from
Borrower. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s
account not later than 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the next Business Day
following each Settlement Date.

	 	(b)	 	Availability of Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Agent may assume that each
Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Loan available to Agent on each funding
date (which must be a Business Day). If such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to
Agent by such Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand
from such Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Lender
fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent
shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to
Agent. Nothing in this Section 11.13(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the
other Financing Agreements shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf
of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfil its Commitment
hereunder or to prejudice any rights that a Borrower may have against any Lender as a
result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that Agent advances
funds to Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same
Business Day as

- 95 - 

 

	 	 	 	such Loan is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest
accrued on such advance until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Return of Payments.

	 	(i)	 	If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the
belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by
Agent from Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then
Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand
without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by
Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other
Person pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law or otherwise, then,
notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other
Financing Agreement, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion
thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand
any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together
with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrower or
such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

	 	(d)	 	Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any
Loan or any payment required by it hereunder on the date specified thereof, shall not
relieve the other Lenders (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its
obligations to make such Loan or purchase such participation on such date, but neither
any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding
Lender to make a Loan, purchase a participation or make any other payment required
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding
Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any
Financing Agreement or constitute a “Lender” for any voting or consent rights under or
with respect to any Financing Agreement. At Borrower’s request, Agent or a Person
acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole
discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and
each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to
Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount
equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender and all
accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase
and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Dissemination of Information. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to
provide Lenders with any notice of any Event of Default received by Agent from, or
delivered by Agent to Borrower, with notice of any Event of Default of which Agent has
actually become aware and with notice of any action taken by Agent following any Event
of Default and with any notice received from Borrower pursuant to Section
9.7(b)(vii); provided, that Agent shall not be liable to any

- 96 - 

 

	 	 	 	Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is
attributable to Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined by a
final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Agent.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with Agent and each other Lender that no

claims for special, punitive, exemplary, indirect or consequential damages in respect
of any breach or alleged breach by Agent or any Lender of any of the terms of this
Agreement or the other Financing Agreements except in the case of gross negligence or

Borrower hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of
dishonour with respect to any and all instruments and commercial paper, included in or evidencing
any of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other demands and notices of any kind or

give shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.

	12.3	 	Amendments and Waivers

Subject to Section 11.15, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be amended
or waived, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom permitted, orally or by course of
conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of each Lender and Agent,
and as to amendments, as also signed by an authorized officer of Borrower. Agent shall not, by any
act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its
rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized
officer of Agent. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth
therein. A waiver by Agent of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be

any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or
threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery,

- 100 - 

 

enforcement, performance or administration of any Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or
proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or
transaction related or attendant thereto or the relationship between any of Borrower and Obligor,
on the other hand, and Arranger, Agent, each Lender and their respective directors, officers,
agents, representatives, employees and counsel, on the other hand, including amounts paid in
settlement, court costs, and the fees and expenses of counsel and others incurred in connection
with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any such litigation, investigation, claim or
proceeding. Such indemnification shall not apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or
expenses resulting from the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Arranger,
Agent, any Lender and/or their respective directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees
and counsel as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction or to losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent relating
to disputes among such indemnified parties or to a breach of their obligations to Borrower
hereunder as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in
this Section 12.5 may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy,
Borrower shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to
Arranger, Agent, each Lender and their respective directors, officers, agents, representatives,
employees and counsel in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section 12.5. The
foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.

ARTICLE 13

TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS

	13.1	 	Term

	 	(a)	 	The Financing Agreements shall continue in full force and effect for a term
ending on the Maturity Date unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.
Upon the Maturity Date or effective date of termination of the Financing Agreements,
Borrower shall pay to Agent, in full, all outstanding and unpaid Obligations (except
under or in connection with any Secured Hedging Agreement) and shall furnish cash
collateral to Agent in such amounts as Agent determines are reasonably necessary to
secure Agent, Lenders and Secured Parties from loss, cost, damage or expense, including
legal fees and expenses, issued and outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations,
outstanding Secured Hedging Agreements and cheques or other payments provisionally
credited to the Obligations and/or as to which Agent and Lenders have not yet received
final and indefeasible payment. Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash
collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in US Dollars to such bank account of
Agent, as Agent may, in its discretion, designate in writing to Borrower for such
purpose. Interest shall be due until and including the next Business Day, if the
amounts so paid by Borrower to the bank account designated by Agent are received in
such bank account later than 12:00 noon, Toronto time.
	 
	 	(b)	 	No termination of any of the Financing Agreements shall relieve or discharge
Borrower of its respective duties, obligations and covenants under the Financing
Agreements until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid,

- 101 - 

 

	 	 	 	and Agent’s continuing security interest in the Collateral and the rights and
remedies of Agent and Lenders, under the Financing Agreements and applicable law,
shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been fully and finally
discharged and paid.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If this Agreement is terminated by Borrower prior to October 31, 2015 or by
Agent pursuant to its right to terminate pursuant to Section 10.2, in view of
the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual
agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits as a
result thereof, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders based on
their respective Pro Rata Share, upon the effective date of such termination, an early
termination fee in the amount set forth below if such termination is effective in the
period indicated:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Amount	 	 	 	Period
	(a)  1.5% of: the Maximum
Revolving Credit and (i) the
Maximum Revolving Term Credit on
or before the Revolving Term Loan
Term Conversion Date or (ii) the
outstanding balance of the
Revolving Term Loan after the
Revolving Term Loan Term
Conversion Date

	 	-
	 	From the date hereof to and
including the 1st anniversary
of the date hereof.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	(b)  1.0% of: the Maximum
Revolving Credit and (i) the
Maximum Revolving Term Credit on
or before the Revolving Term Loan
Term Conversion Date or (ii) the
outstanding balance of the
Revolving Term Loan after the
Revolving Term Loan Term
Conversion Date

	 	-
	 	After the 1st anniversary of
the date hereof to and
including the 2nd anniversary
of the date hereof.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	(c)   0.5% of Maximum Revolving
Credit and outstanding balance of
the Revolving Term Loan

	 	-
	 	After the 2nd anniversary of
the date hereof to and
including the Maturity Date.

Such early termination fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Lenders as a
result of such early termination and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances
currently existing. In addition, Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall be entitled to such early
termination fee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(f)
and 10.1(g) hereof, even if Agent does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement,
or a Lender elects, at its option, to provide financing to Borrower or permit the use

- 102 - 

 

of cash collateral under any applicable reorganization or insolvency legislation. The early termination
fee provided for in this Section 13.1 shall be deemed included in the Obligations.

	13.2	 	Notice

All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in writing and (a) made to Agent and Lenders
at their respective addresses set forth below and to Borrower at its chief executive office set
forth below, or to such other address as any party may designate by written notice to the other in

	13.3	 	Partial Invalidity

unenforceability shall not invalidate this Agreement as a whole, but this Agreement shall be
construed as though it did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid or unenforceable
and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced only to such extent
as shall be permitted by applicable law.

	13.4	 	Successors

The Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Agent, Lenders and Borrower and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

	13.5	 	Entire Agreement

The Financing Agreements, any supplements hereto or thereto, and any instruments or documents
delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith represents the entire agreement
and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof between the parties hereto, and
supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions,
representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject
matter hereof, whether oral or written. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of
this Agreement and any schedule or exhibit hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

	13.6	 	Headings

The division of this Agreement into sections and the insertion of headings and a table of contents
are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of
this Agreement.

- 103 - 

 

	13.7	 	Judgment Currency

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of Borrower in respect of any amount due
under this Agreement shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (the “Other
Currency”) (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the
amount in the currency in which it is due (the “Agreed Currency”) that Lender may, in accordance
with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in the Other Currency (after any premium
and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately after the day on which Agent receives the
payment. If the amount in the Agreed Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short
of the amount originally due, Borrower shall pay all additional amounts, in the Agreed Currency, as
may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of Borrower not discharged by
that payment shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent
obligation and, until discharged as provided in this section, continue in full force and effect.

	13.8	 	Counterparts and Facsimile

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and
delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one
and the same agreement. The delivery of a facsimile or pdf copy of an executed counterpart of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be valid execution and delivery of this Agreement, but the party
delivering a facsimile or pdf copy shall deliver to the other party an original copy of this
Agreement as soon as possible after delivering the facsimile or pdf copy.

	13.9	 	Patriot Act Notice

Agent and each Lender which is subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to
the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each person or corporation who opens an account and/or enters into a business
