understand and agree that the responsibilities and duties of the Executive, in the capacity of President Customer Solutions Team, CCO & CPO of the Company, may change from time to time due to changes in the nature, structure or needs of the
Company’s business and that any such changes in the Executive’s duties and responsibilities that are consistent with such changes in the Company’s business shall not constitute a reduction or increase in the Executive’s duties
and responsibilities for purposes of this Agreement. 
 
The Executive shall devote his or her best efforts and full business time and attention (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of the Company and its
affiliated companies. The Executive shall perform all assigned duties to the best of his or her abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and efficient manner.

	  	 (C)	  	 Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Executive shall be provided with health, welfare and other fringe benefits to the same extent and on the same
terms as those benefits are provided by the Company from time to time to other similarly situated executives of the Company, provided that, nothing in the Agreement will preclude the Company from amending or terminating any plans or programs
generally applicable to salaried employees or executives, as the case may be. 

 

	  	 (D)	  	 The Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company, on terms and conditions that are substantially similar to those applicable to other similarly situated executives

2 

	  	 (A)	  	 Termination by the Company for Reasons Other Than Cause; Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is
terminated by the Company for reasons other than Cause or as a result of termination by the Executive for Good Reason, then for the period commencing on the Executive’s Termination Date and ending on the earliest of: 

 

	  	 (i)	  	 the twenty-fourth month after the Termination Date; 

 

	  	 (ii)	  	 the date the Executive violates any of the provisions of Sections 4, 5 or 6 of this Agreement; or

In addition, the Executive may be entitled to a Final Bonus (as defined below) in the year in which the Termination Date occurs.
“Final Bonus” means an amount equal to the product of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary multiplied by (2) the most recent target percentage established for the Executive under the Annual Incentive Plan (or successor plan); (3)
multiplied by the percent attainment of the applicable performance measures, and multiplied by (4) a proration factor which is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months determined under (a) and (b) below, and the denominator
of which is the number of whole months in the applicable Bonus performance period. The valuation date for purposes of determining the percent attainment and the proration factor is: 
 

	  	 (a)	  	 the last day of the month preceding the Termination Date if the Termination Date occurs from the 1 st  through the 15 th  of
the month, and 

 
 

3 

 

	  	 (b)	  	 the last day of the month in which the Termination Date occurs if the Termination Date occurs from the 16 th  through the last day of the month. 

 

	  	     	  	 Annual Base Salary payments to the Executive during the Benefit Period shall not preclude the Executive’s eligibility for payments under the Company Severance
Plan, provided, however,that any benefit continuation period under this Agreement shall run concurrently with the applicable benefit period under the Severance Plan. 

 

	  	     	  	 Twenty-four months of additional age and service credit will be provided to the Executive’s RT Pension and the RT Supplemental Plan using the methodology
described in the Executive’s Change in Control Agreement except that any lump sum payment will be made twenty-four months after the Executive’s Termination Date and only if the Executive has not violated the Confidentiality,
Nonsolicitation and Noncompetition provisions of this Agreement. 

 

	  	 (B)	  	 Termination By Company for Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, then except as agreed in writing between the
Executive and the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to receive only compensation and benefits earned up to the Date of Termination. The Executive shall not be entitled to receive any payments or benefits under this Agreement after the
Executive’s Termination Date and the Company shall have no obligation to make any additional payments or provide any other benefits after the Executive’s Termination Date. 

 

	  	 (C)	  	 Termination for Death or Disability. If the Executive’s termination is caused by the Executive’s death or permanent disability (as that term
is defined under the Company’s Long Term Disability Plan), then the Executive (or in the event of his or her death, his or her estate) shall be entitled to continued payments of Annual Base Salary for the period commencing on the Termination
Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month in which his Termination Date occurs; (ii) the date on which the Executive violates the provisions of Sections 4, 5 or 6 of this Agreement; (iii) the date of the
Executive’s death; or (iv) the date of the Executive’s permanent disability. 

 

	  	 (D)	  	 Termination for Voluntary Resignation, Mutual Agreement or Other Reasons. If the Executive’s termination occurs on account of his
voluntary resignation, mutual agreement of the parties, or any reason other than those specified in Paragraphs (A), (B) or (C) above, then, except as agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall not be entitled to
receive any payments or benefits under 

 
 

4 

 

	  	     	  	 this Agreement after the Executive’s Termination Date and the Company shall have no obligation to make any additional payments or provide any additional
benefits after the Executive’s Termination Date. The Executive’s termination of employment for Good Reason shall not be treated as a voluntary resignation for purposes of this Agreement. 

 

	  	 (E)	  	 Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement: 

 

	  	 (i)	  	 The term “Cause” shall mean: 

 

	  	 (a)	  	 the continuous performance of his duties (under this Agreement) in a manner that is inconsistent with past, acceptable performance over a normal business cycle; or
in a way that has a demonstrable negative impact on the results of the business unit. The Executive Vice President must provide a notice of unsatisfactory performance and a reasonable corrective action period. The Chairman and CEO must review and

	  	     	  	 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Executive shall automatically cease to be an employee of the Company and its affiliates as of his
Termination Date and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all monies that the Executive owes to the Company shall be repaid before any post-termination payments are made to the Executive under this Agreement.

 
4. Termination by Executive

documents, data, memoranda, reports, physical property, information, computer disks, tapes or software or other materials, and all copies thereof, relating to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates obtained by the Executive
during his or her employment with the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates. The Executive further agrees to deliver to the Company, at its request, any computer in the Executive’s possession or control which has contained any Confidential

	  	 (C)	  	 The Executive agrees that all inventions, innovations, discoveries, improvements, developments, trade secrets, processes, procedures, methods, designs, analyses,

and which are conceived, developed or made by the Executive while employed by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“Work Product”) belong to the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate. The Executive shall promptly inform the
Company of such Work Product, and shall execute such assignments as may be necessary to transfer to 

 
 

7 

	  	     	  	 the Company or its affiliates the benefits of the Work Product, in whole or in part, or conceived by the Executive either alone or with others, which result from
any work which the Executive may do for or at the request of the Company, whether or not conceived by the Executive while on holiday, on vacation, or off the premises of the Company, including such of the foregoing items conceived during the course
of employment which are developed or perfected after the Executive’s Termination Date. The Executive shall assist the Company or its nominee, to obtain patents, trademarks and service marks and the Executive agrees to execute all documents and

	  	 (D)	  	 To the extent that any court or agency seeks to have the Executive disclose Confidential Information, the Executive shall promptly inform the Company, and the
Executive shall take such reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information until the Company has been informed of such requested disclosure. To the extent that the Executive obtains information on behalf of the Company or any of
its affiliates that may be subject to attorney-client privilege as to the Company’s attorneys, the Executive shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to preserve such privilege.

 

	  	 (E)	  	 Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall be construed so as to prevent the Executive from using, in connection with his or her employment for
himself or an employer other than the Company or any of its affiliates, knowledge which was acquired by him during the course of his employment with the Company and its affiliates, and which is generally known to persons of his experience in other
companies in the same industry through Executive’s acts or omission to act.

industry in which it operates and will develop relationships with and knowledge of customers, employees, vendors and suppliers of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that during the time the Executive

in any manner engage in the start-up of a business (including by himself or in association with any person, firm, corporate or other business organization through any other entity) in Competition with the Company, provided that, this shall not
prevent the Executive from ownership of 1% or less of the outstanding stock of any corporation listed on the New York or American Stock Exchange or included in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or ownership of
securities in any entity affiliated with the Company. “Competitor” or “in Competition” refers to a person or entity, including metals-related Internet marketplaces, engaged in the metal service center processing and/or
distribution business. 

 

	  	 (B)	  	 Executive will not directly or indirectly contact, call upon, solicit business from, sell or render services to, any customer of the Company with respect to the

any Confidential Information during the Employment Period; or 

 

	  	 (C)	  	 Executive will not directly or indirectly either alone or in cooperation with others, encourage any employees of the Company to seek or accept an employment or
business relationship with a person or entity other than the Company, or in any way interfere with the relationship of the Company and any subsidiary or affiliate and any employee thereof, including without limitation, to hire, solicit for hire, or
discuss or encourage the employment of, any of the employees of the Company who were employed by the Company during the Employment Period; provided however, this shall not apply to an employee whose employment was terminated by the Company before
the Termination Date, if such termination was not caused by any direct or indirect involvement of the Executive or a subsequent employer of Executive. 

 

	  	 (D)	  	 Executive will not directly or indirectly either alone or in cooperation with others, encourage any supplier, distributor, franchisee, licensee, or other business
relation of the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to cease or curtail doing

distributor, franchisee, licensee or business relation and the Company or subsidiary or affiliate. 

 

	  	 (E)	  	 The parties agree that money damages would be inadequate for any breaches of paragraphs 4, 5 and this paragraph 6. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach of paragraphs 4, 5 or 6, the Company, or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief,
to enforce, or prevent any violation of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). 

	  	

	  	 (F)	  	 The Executive agrees that: (i) the covenants set forth in this Section are reasonable in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects, (ii) the Company
would not have entered into this Agreement but for the covenants of the Executive contained herein and (iii) the covenants contained herein have been made in order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement. 

 
7. No Conflict. The Executive represents that
the Executive is not a party to any agreement with any third party containing a non-competition provision or other restriction, which would prohibit or restrict the Executive’s employment with the Company or any part of the services which the
Executive provides to the Company or its clients. Moreover, the Executive represents that the Executive is not limited by any court order or other legal obligation from performing any assigned duties for the Company and the Executive has no rights
which may conflict with the interests of the Company or with the Executive’s obligations hereunder. 
 
8. Change of Title, Duties. The Executive agrees that if, at any time, the Executive’s title or duties is changed by
the Company the Executive will continue to be bound in all particulars to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This provision does not limit the Executive’s or Company’s rights under Section 1 and Section 3 of this Agreement.

 
9. Validity. If any one or more of
the provisions contained in the Agreement shall, for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and this
Agreement shall be constructed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 
 
If any restriction set forth in this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable or unenforceable with
respect to scope, time, geographical, customer or other coverage under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or
area and that 
 
 

10 

the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope
and area permitted by law, so as to provide the maximum legally enforceable protection of the Company’s interests as described in this Agreement, without negating or impairing any other restrictions or agreements set forth herein. 
 
10. Reasonableness of Restrictions/Injunctive
Relief. 
 

	  	 (A)	  	 The Executive acknowledges that his rights to compete and disclose Confidential Information and trade secrets are limited hereby only to the extent necessary to
protect the Company and that, in the event the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, the Executive will be able to earn a livelihood without violating the foregoing restrictions. The Executive acknowledges that the
restrictions cited herein are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests. 

 

	  	 (B)	  	 The Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by the Executive are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and, in connection with such
services, the Executive will have access to confidential information vital to the Company’s businesses. By reason of this, the Executive consents and agrees that if the Executive violates any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Company
would sustain irreparable harm and, therefore, in addition to any other remedies which the Company may have under this Agreement or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining the
Executive from committing or continuing any such violation of this Agreement, including, without limitation, restraining the Executive from disclosing, using for any purpose, selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of, in whole or in part, any
trade secrets, Confidential Information, proprietary information, client or customer lists or other information pertaining to the financial condition, business, manner of operation, affairs, plans or prospects of the Company. The Executive
acknowledges that damages at law would not be an adequate remedy for violation of this Agreement, and the Executive therefore agrees that the provisions may be specifically enforced against the Executive in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages. 

 
11. Withholding. All compensation payable under
this Agreement shall be subject to customary withholding taxes and other employment taxes as required with respect to compensation paid by a corporation to an employee and the amount of compensation payable hereunder shall be reduced appropriately
to reflect the amount of any required withholding. The Company shall have no obligation 
 
 

11 

to make any payments to the Executive or to make the Executive whole for the amount of any required taxes.

 
12. Successors. This Agreement
shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns and any person acquiring, whether by merger, reorganization, consolidation, by purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company. The Executive agrees that the Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 
13. Nonalienation. The interests of the Executive and the Company under this Agreement are not subject to the claims of
their creditors, other than the Company, and may not otherwise be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated or encumbered.

and the terms thereof. The Executive will also provide the Company with information the Company may from time to time request to determine the Executive’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Executive hereby authorizes the Company
to contact the Executive’s future employers and other parties with whom the Executive has engaged or may engage in any business relationship to determine the Executive’s compliance with this Agreement and to communicate the contents of
this Agreement to such employers and parties. 
 
15. Cooperation in Certain Matters. The Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and after the Termination Date until the expiration of the severance period, the Executive will cooperate with the Company in
any current or future or potential legal, business, or other matters in any reasonable manner as the Company may request, including but not limited to meeting with and fully answering the questions of the Company or its representatives or agents,
and in any legal matter testifying and preparing to testify at any deposition or trial. The Company agrees to compensate the Executive for any reasonable expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred as a result of such
cooperation.

SECTION 1. CREDIT FACILITY 
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Lenders agree to make a Total Credit Facility of up to Cdn. $50,000,000 available upon Borrowers’ request therefor, as follows: 
 
1.1. Loans. 
 
1.1.1. Canadian Revolving Credit Loans. Each Canadian Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, for so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists, to make loans denominated in Canadian Dollars (“Canadian Revolving Credit Loans”) to Canadian Borrower from time to time during the period from the date hereof to but not including the last day of
the Term, as requested by Canadian Borrower in the manner set forth in subsection 3.1.1(i) hereof, up to a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding equal to the lesser of (i) the product of such Canadian Lender’s Canadian
Revolving Loan Percentage and the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment minus the product of such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Revolving Loan Percentage and the sum of the Canadian LC Amount and the Canadian LC Obligations, and (ii)
the product of such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Revolving Loan Percentage and an amount equal to the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time minus the product of such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Revolving Loan Percentage and the sum of
the Canadian LC Amount and the Canadian LC Obligations minus the product of such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Revolving Loan Percentage and reserves imposed on Canadian Borrower, if any, in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Canadian Lender shall make any Canadian Revolving Credit Loan if as a result the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans of all Canadian Lenders would exceed the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount minus the Equivalent of the
outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans. 

Amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1.1 may be repaid in whole or in part and,
up to but excluding the last day of the Term, reborrowed, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Canadian Revolving Credit Loans shall be repayable in accordance with the terms of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loan Notes and
shall be secured by all of the Collateral (directly, pursuant to the guarantee by U.S. Borrower set out in Section 2.13 or pursuant to any Guarantee Agreement granted by any other Person). 
 
1.1.2. U.S. Revolving Credit Loans.
Each U.S. Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to make loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (“U.S. Revolving Credit Loans”) to U.S. Borrower from time to time during the period
from the date hereof to but not including the last day of the Term, as requested by U.S. Borrower in the manner set forth in subsection 3.1.1(i) hereof, up to a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding equal to the lesser of: (i) the
product of such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolving Loan Percentage and the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Loan Commitment minus the product of such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolving Loan Percentage and the sum of the U.S. LC Amount and the U.S. LC
Obligations, and (ii) the product of such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolving Loan Percentage and an amount equal to the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time minus the product of such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolving Loan Percentage and the sum of
the U.S. LC Amount and the U.S. LC Obligations minus the product of such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolving Loan Percentage and reserves imposed on U.S. Borrower, if any, in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
U.S. Lender shall make any U.S. Revolving Credit if as a result the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans of all U.S. Lenders would exceed the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount minus the outstanding principal amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit
Loans. Amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1.2 may be repaid in whole or in part and, up to but excluding the last day of the Term, reborrowed, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The U.S. Revolving Credit Loans shall
be repayable in accordance with the terms of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loan Notes and shall be secured by all of the Collateral (directly or pursuant to the guarantee by Canadian Borrower set out in Section 2.13 or pursuant to any Guarantee
Agreement granted by any other Person). 
 
1.1.3. Reallocations of Revolving Loan Commitments. Not more frequently than two times during the Term, the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment and the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Loan Commitment may be
reallocated, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written notice by either Borrower to Administrative Agent; provided that (i) all such reallocations shall be in integral multiples of Cdn. $1,000,000, (ii)
the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount, (iii) the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be increased to more than the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment as it exists on

-2- 

$6,000,000. Upon each such reallocation, Exhibit 1.1 shall be deemed to have been
amended accordingly, and Administrative Agent, acting alone, is hereby authorized to so amend Exhibit 1.1 to evidence such reallocation. 
 
1.1.4. Reallocations of Inventory Sublimits. Not more frequently than two times during the Term, the
Canadian Inventory Sublimit and the U.S. Inventory Sublimit may be reallocated, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written notice by either Borrower to Administrative Agent; provided that (i) all such
reallocations shall be in integral multiples of Cdn. $1,000,000, (ii) the sum of the Canadian Inventory Sublimit and the U.S. Inventory Sublimit shall not exceed Cdn. $10,000,000, (iii) the maximum amount of the Canadian Inventory Sublimit shall not
be increased to more than Cdn. $5,500,000 and (iv) the maximum amount of the U.S. Inventory Sublimit shall not be increased to more than Cdn. $8,500,000. 
 
1.1.5. Overadvances. Insofar as Canadian Borrower may request and Canadian Agent or Majority Lenders (as provided
below) may be willing in their sole and absolute discretion to cause to be made Canadian Revolving Credit Loans to Canadian Borrower at a time when the unpaid balance of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans plus the sum of the Canadian LC Amount plus the
amount of Canadian LC Obligations that have not been reimbursed by Canadian Borrower or funded with a Canadian Revolving Credit Loan, plus reserves applicable to Canadian Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, exceeds, or would exceed with the
making of any such Canadian Revolving Credit Loan, the Canadian Borrowing Base (and such Loan or Loans being herein referred to individually as a “Canadian Overadvance” and collectively, as “Canadian Overadvances”),
Administrative Agent shall enter such Canadian Overadvances as debits in Canadian Borrower’s Loan Account. Insofar as U.S. Borrower may request and U.S. Agent or Majority Lenders (as provided below) may be willing in their sole and absolute
discretion to make U.S. Revolving Credit Loans to U.S. Borrower at a time when the unpaid balance of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans plus the sum of the U.S. LC Amount plus the amount of U.S. LC Obligations that have not been reimbursed by U.S. Borrower
or funded with a U.S. Revolving Credit Loan, plus reserves applicable to U.S. Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, exceeds, or would exceed with the making of any such U.S. Revolving Credit Loan, the U.S. Borrowing Base (and such Loan or
Loans being herein referred to individually as a “U.S. Overadvance” and collectively, as “U.S. Overadvances”), Administrative Agent shall enter such U.S. Overadvances as debits in U.S. Borrower’s Loan Account.
All Overadvances shall be repaid on demand, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest as provided in this Agreement for the applicable Revolving Credit Loans. Any Overadvance made pursuant to the terms hereof shall be made by the
applicable Lender(s) to the applicable Borrower, ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Percentages. Overadvances in the aggregate amount of Cdn. $2,000,000 or the Equivalent thereof or less may, unless a Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, be made in the sole and absolute discretion of Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as the case may be. Overadvances in an aggregate amount of more than Cdn. $2,000,000 or the 
 

-3- 

Equivalent thereof but less than Cdn. $5,000,000 or the Equivalent thereof may, unless a
Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be made in the sole and absolute discretion of Majority Lenders. Overadvances in an aggregate amount of Cdn. $5,000,000 or the Equivalent thereof or more and Overadvances to be made
after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default shall require the consent of all Lenders. The foregoing notwithstanding, in no event, unless otherwise consented to by all Lenders, (x) shall any Overadvances be
outstanding for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, (y) after all outstanding Overadvances have been repaid, shall Canadian Agent, U.S. Agent or Lenders make any additional Overadvances unless thirty (30) days or more have expired since the last
date on which any Overadvances were outstanding, or (z) shall Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent make Revolving Credit Loans on behalf of the applicable Lenders under this subsection 1.1.5 to the extent such Revolving Credit Loans would cause a
Lender’s share of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment minus such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the applicable LC Amount. 
 
1.1.6. Use of Proceeds. The Revolving
Credit Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely for (a) the satisfaction of certain existing Indebtedness of Borrowers as directed by Borrowers on the Closing Date and approved by Administrative Agent, (b) for general operating corporate purposes of
Borrowers in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and all applicable laws, and (c) for other purposes permitted under this Agreement. 
 
1.1.7. Agent Loans. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, Canadian
Agent, in the case of Canadian Borrower, and U.S. Agent, in the case of U.S. Borrower, in its sole discretion, may make Revolving Credit Loans on behalf of the applicable Lenders, in an aggregate amount not to exceed Cdn. $2,000,000, or the
Equivalent thereof, if Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable, in its reasonable business judgment, deems that such Revolving Credit Loans are necessary or desirable (i) to protect all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) to enhance the
likelihood, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation costs, fees and expenses as described in
Sections 2.8 and 2.9, which have not otherwise been paid by such Borrower (hereinafter, “Agent Loans”); provided, that (a) in no event shall the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus
the aggregate LC Amount exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, (b) in no event (except as may be permitted by Section 1.1.5) shall the outstanding principal amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans plus the Canadian LC Amount
plus reserves applicable to Canadian Borrower in accordance with this Agreement exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base (as the same may be deemed to be increased pursuant to subsection 1.1.7(e) below), (c) in no event (except as may be permitted
by Section 1.1.5) shall the outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans plus the U.S. LC Amount plus reserves applicable to U.S. Borrower in accordance with this Agreement exceed the U.S. Borrowing Base (as the same may be
deemed to be 
 

-4- 

increased pursuant to subsection 1.1.7(e) below), and (d) Majority Lenders may at
any time revoke Canadian Agent’s or U.S. Agent’s authorization to make Agent Loans. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Canadian Agent’s or U.S. Agent’s, as applicable, receipt
thereof. Each Canadian Lender, in the case of the Canadian Borrower, and each U.S. Lender, in the case of the U.S. Borrower, shall be obligated to advance its Revolving Loan Percentage of each Agent Loan. If Agent Loans are made pursuant to the
preceding sentence, then (e) the Canadian Borrowing Base or the U.S. Borrowing Base, as applicable, shall be deemed increased by the amount of such permitted Agent Loans, but only for so long as Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable, allows
such Agent Loans to be outstanding, and (f) all Lenders that have committed to make Revolving Credit Loans to the applicable Borrower shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Agent Loans based upon their Revolving Loan
Percentages in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 
1.2. Letters of Credit; LC Guarantees. 
 
Administrative Agent agrees, for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists and if requested by a Borrower, to (i) cause to be issued by Bank or another Affiliate of an Agent, or if approved by Administrative Agent, acting in
its sole and absolute discretion, any other Lender (or Affiliate thereof), on the date requested by a Borrower, Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrower or (ii) cause to be executed LC Guarantees by which Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as
applicable, another Affiliate of an Agent, or if approved by Administrative Agent, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, any other Lender (or Affiliate thereof), on the date requested by such Borrower, shall guarantee the payment or
performance by such Borrower of its reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit provided that the aggregate LC Amount shall not exceed Cdn. $3,000,000 at any time. No Letter of Credit or LC Guarantee that is a (i) standby
letter of credit shall have an expiration date greater than one year from the date of issuance (provided that any standby letter of credit with a one-year term may provide for the customary evergreen renewals thereof for additional one-year periods)
or (ii) documentary letter of credit shall have an expiration date greater than 180 days from the date of issuance. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, no Letter of Credit or LC Guarantee may have an expiration date after the last
day of the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrowers, Agents and Lenders hereby agree that (a) all Canadian LC Obligations and all obligations of Canadian Borrower relating thereto shall be satisfied by the prompt
issuance of one or more Canadian Revolving Credit Loans that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans, which Canadian Borrower hereby acknowledges are requested and Canadian Lenders agree to fund, and (b) all U.S. LC Obligations and all obligations of U.S.
Borrower relating thereto shall be satisfied by the prompt issuance of one or more U.S. Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans, which U.S. Borrower hereby acknowledges are requested and U.S. Lenders hereby agree to fund. In the event that
appropriate Revolving Credit Loans are not, for any reason, promptly made to satisfy all then existing LC Obligations, each applicable Lender hereby agrees to pay to U.S. Agent or Canadian Agent, as the case may be, on demand, an amount equal to the
applicable LC Obligations multiplied by such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage, and until so paid, such amount shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear

interest and be payable at the same rate and in the same manner as Revolving Credit Loans that are Base
Rate Loans, in the case of U.S. LC Obligations, and Revolving Credit Loans that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the case of Canadian LC Obligations. Immediately upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit or an LC Guarantee under this Agreement for the
account of Canadian Borrower, each Canadian Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from Canadian Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation therein equal to the
applicable Canadian LC Amount and, as they arise, the Canadian LC Obligations multiplied by such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Revolving Loan Percentage. Immediately upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit or an LC Guarantee under this Agreement
for the account of U.S. Borrower, each U.S. Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from U.S. Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation therein equal to the applicable
U.S. LC Amount and, as they arise, the U.S. LC Obligations multiplied by such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolving Loan Percentage. 
 
1.3. Term Loans. 
 
1.3.1. U.S. Closing Date Term Loan. Each U.S. Lender agrees, jointly and severally, so long as no Default or Event
of Default exists, to make a term loan (the “U.S. Closing Date Term Loan”) to U.S. Borrower on the Closing Date, in the aggregate principal amount of its U.S. Term Loan Percentage of U.S. $1,905,004, which shall be repayable in
accordance with the terms of the U.S. Closing Date Term Loan Notes and shall be secured (directly or pursuant to the guarantee of Canadian Borrower set out in Section 2.13) by all of the Collateral. The proceeds of the U.S. Closing Date Term
Loan shall be used solely for the purposes for which the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans are authorized to be used. 
 
1.3.2. Canadian Closing Date Term Loan. Each Canadian Lender agrees, jointly and severally, so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists, to make a term loan (the “Canadian Closing Date Term Loan”) to Canadian Borrower on the Closing Date, in the aggregate principal amount of its Canadian Closing Date Term Loan Percentage of Cdn.
$2,000,000, which shall be repayable in accordance with the terms of the Canadian Closing Date Term Loan Notes and shall be secured (directly or pursuant to the guarantee of U.S. Borrower set out in Section 2.13) by all of the Collateral. The
proceeds of the Canadian Closing Date Term Loan shall be used solely for the purposes for which the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans are authorized to be used. 
 
1.3.3. Delayed Draw Term Loans. Each Canadian Lender agrees, jointly and severally,
for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to make one or more term loan advances (collectively, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”) in Canadian Dollars to Canadian Borrower from time to time during the period from the date
hereof to but not including the last day of the Term, as requested by Canadian Borrower in the manner set forth in subsection 3.1.1(iv) hereof, up to a maximum aggregate principal amount advanced equal to its Delayed Draw Term Loan

 

-6- 

Percentage of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Maximum Amount, which shall be repayable in
accordance with the terms of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Notes and shall be secured by all of the Collateral; provided that, no advance of the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be made if to do so would result in the aggregate principal amount of
the Delayed Draw Term Loans drawn reaching Cdn. $5,000,000, Cdn. $10,000,000 or Cdn. $15,000,000 (without regard to any repayments or prepayments thereunder), unless the Canadian Borrower has, if requested by Canadian Agent, in its reasonable
judgment, first provided First American Title Insurance Company (with a copy to Canadian Agent) with subsearches, execution searches and evidence of payment of all realty taxes in respect of each of Canadian Borrower’s real Properties, so that
the “Special Loan Endorsement” provided by First American Title Insurance Company on or about the Closing Date is effective as of the time of each such advance under the Delayed Draw Term Loans to provide Canadian Agent with the same
coverage as was provided under such Special Loan Endorsement when it was delivered on or about the Closing Date, and U.S. Borrower has, if requested by U.S. Agent, in its reasonable judgment, provided U.S. Agent with a date-down title insurance
endorsement to each title insurance policy issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company on or about the Closing Date, such endorsement to be in form and substance satisfactory to U.S. Agent, acting reasonably. Amounts repaid under the Delayed Draw Term
Loans may not be reborrowed. The proceeds of each advance of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, and only such proceeds (together with such other amounts as are permitted under subsection 8.2.6(i)), shall be used solely to repurchase a portion of
the Subordinated Notes provided that all conditions to such repurchase set out in Section 8.2.6(i) are in each case complied with in full. 
 
1.4. Judgment Currency; Contractual Currency. 
 
(i) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against either Borrower in any
court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 1.4 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in
any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding (i) the date of actual payment of the amount due,
in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or (ii) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction
(the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 1.4 being hereinafter in this Section 1.4 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”). 
 
(ii) If, in the case of any proceeding in the
court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 1.4(i), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Borrower shall pay
such additional amount, if any, or, as applicable, such lesser amount, as may be 
 

-7- 

necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when
converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate
of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from a Borrower under this Section 1.4(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for 3any other amounts due under or in
respect of any of the Loan Documents. 
 
(iii) The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 1.4 means: (A) for a conversion of Canadian Dollars to U.S. Dollars, the reciprocal of the official noon rate of exchange published by the Bank of Canada for
the date in question for the conversion to U.S. Dollars; (B) for a conversion of U.S. Dollars to Canadian Dollars, the official noon rate of exchange published by the Bank of Canada for the date in question for the conversion of U.S. Dollars to
Canadian Dollars; (C) if a required rate is not so published by the Bank of Canada for any such date, or for the conversion of any other currency, the rate of exchange at which Administrative Agent would, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon
(Chicago time), be prepared to sell the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency. 
 
Any amount received or recovered by any Agent or any Lender in respect of any sum expressed to be due to them (whether for itself or as trustee for any other person) from either Borrower under this
Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents in a currency other than the currency (the “contractual currency”) in which such sum is so expressed to be due (whether as a result of, or from the enforcement of, any judgment or
order of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction, the winding-up of either Borrower or otherwise) shall only constitute a discharge of such Borrower to the extent of the amount of the contractual currency that Administrative Agent is able, in
accordance with its usual practice, to purchase with the amount of the currency so received or recovered on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if later, the first date on which such purchase is practicable). If the amount of the contractual
currency so purchased is less than the amount of the contractual currency so expressed to be due, such Borrower shall indemnify Agents and Lenders against any loss sustained by it as a result, including the cost of making any such purchase.

 
1.5. Exchange Rate Fluctuations

 
If at any time fluctuations in rates of exchange
in effect between Canadian Dollars and U.S. Dollars cause the aggregate amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (expressed in Canadian Dollars based on the Equivalent) to exceed the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount by 5% of the Revolving Credit
Maximum Amount, U.S. Borrower shall pay the U.S. Agent for the ratable benefit of the U.S. Lenders and/or Canadian Borrower shall pay to Canadian Agent for the ratable benefit of Canadian Lenders, one Business Day after demand 
 

-8- 

 
given to Borrowers by
Administrative Agent, such amount as is necessary to repay or post Collateral in the amount by which the Revolving Credit Loans exceed the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount plus 5% of the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount. 
 
SECTION 2. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES 
 
2.1. Interest. 
 
2.1.1. Canadian Prime Rate. Interest
shall accrue on the principal amount of Canadian Prime Rate Loans outstanding at the end of each day at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect plus the Canadian Prime Rate. Such rate of interest shall
increase or decrease by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Canadian Prime Rate, effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Canadian Prime Rate occurs. 
 
2.1.2. Base Rate. Interest shall
accrue on the principal amount of the Base Rate Loans outstanding at the end of each day at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect plus the Base Rate. Such rate of interest shall increase or decrease by an
amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Base Rate, effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate occurs. 
 
2.1.3. Canadian BA Rate. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of Canadian BA Rate Loans outstanding at the
end of each day at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect plus the Canadian BA Rate for the applicable Interest Period for such Canadian BA Rate Loan. 
 
2.1.4. LIBOR. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of LIBOR Loans outstanding
at the end of each day at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect plus the LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. 
 
2.1.5. Default Rate of Interest. Upon and during the occurrence of an Event of
Default, if Administrative Agent elects, the principal amount of all Loans owing by the U.S. Borrower shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% plus the interest rate otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default
Rate”). 
 
2.1.6.
Maximum Interest. In no event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder or under the Notes and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to the Notes exceed the highest rate
permissible under any law, including, without limitation, Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If any provisions of this Agreement or the Notes
are in contravention of any such law, such provisions shall be deemed amended to conform thereto (the “Maximum Rate”). If at any time, the amount of interest paid hereunder is limited by the Maximum Rate, and the amount at which
interest accrues hereunder is subsequently below the Maximum Rate, the rate at which interest 
 

-9- 

 
accrues
hereunder shall remain at the Maximum Rate, until such time as the aggregate interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest that would have been paid had the Maximum Rate not applied. 
 
2.1.7. Interest Act (Canada). For the
purpose of complying with the Interest Act (Canada), it is expressly stated that where interest is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based upon a 360-day period (for the purposes of this Section, the “first rate”), the yearly rate or
percentage of interest to which the first rate is equivalent is the first rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360, and the parties hereto acknowledge that there is a
material distinction between the nominal and effective rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations necessary to compare such rates and that the calculations herein are to be made using the nominal rate method and not on
any basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest. 
 
2.2. Computation of Interest and Fees. 
 
Interest, Letter of Credit and LC Guarantee fees and Unused Line Fees hereunder shall be calculated daily and
shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, in the case of such Obligations owing by the U.S. Borrower, and a year of 365 days, in the case of such Obligations owing by the Canadian Borrower. Unless otherwise set
forth herein, all interest and fees shall be paid in the same currency as the underlying Loan is made or Letter of Credit or LC Guarantee is issued for which such fee is associated. For the purpose of computing interest hereunder, all items of
payment received by an Agent shall be deemed applied by such Agent on account of the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) on the next Business Day after receipt by such Agent of such items in such Agent’s account as set forth on
the applicable execution page of this Agreement. 
 
2.3. Fee Letter. 
 
Canadian Borrower shall pay to Canadian Agent certain fees and other amounts in accordance with the terms of the fee letter between Canadian Borrower and Canadian Agent (the “Fee Letter”). 
 
2.4. Letter of Credit and LC Guarantee
Fees. 
 
(i) Canadian Borrower
shall pay to Canadian Agent, for the ratable benefit of Canadian Lenders, for Letters of Credit and LC Guarantees a per annum fee equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Canadian BA Rate Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans multiplied by
the aggregate undrawn available amount of such Letters of Credit and LC Guarantees outstanding for the account of Canadian Borrower from time to time during the term of this Agreement, plus (if and when there is more than one Canadian Lender)
a fronting fee (for the account of Canadian Agent) equal to 0.125% per annum of the aggregate available amount of such Letters of Credit and LC Guarantees plus all normal and customary charges of the Person issuing such Letters of

 

-10- 

 
Credit and LC
Guarantees which are associated with the issuance and administration thereof, which per annum fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and which other charges shall, unless otherwise advised by Canadian Agent, be
deemed fully earned and payable upon issuance of each such Letter of Credit or LC Guarantee and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason; and 
 
(ii) U.S. Borrower shall pay to U.S. Agent,
for the ratable benefit of U.S. Lenders, for Letters of Credit and LC Guarantees a per annum fee equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for LIBOR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans multiplied by the aggregate undrawn available amount of
such Letters of Credit and LC Guarantees outstanding for the account of U.S. Borrower from time to time during the term of this Agreement, plus (if and when there is more than one U.S. Lender) a fronting fee (for the account of U.S. Agent)
equal to 0.125% per annum of the aggregate available amount of such Letters of Credit and LC Guarantees, plus all normal and customary charges of the Person issuing such Letters of Credit and LC Guarantees which are associated with the
issuance and administration thereof, which per annum fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and which other charges shall, unless otherwise advised by U.S. Agent, be deemed fully earned and payable upon issuance of
each such Letter of Credit or LC Guarantee and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. 
 
2.5. Unused Line Fees. 
 
Canadian Borrower shall pay to Canadian Agent, for the ratable benefit of Canadian Lenders, a fee equal to 0.375% per annum multiplied by
the average daily amount by which the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment exceeds the sum of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans plus (ii) the Canadian LC Amount. Canadian Borrower shall also
pay to Canadian Agent, for the ratable benefit of Canadian Lenders, a fee equal to 0.375% per annum multiplied by the average daily amount by which the aggregate of all Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments exceeds the average daily aggregate amount of
all advances made in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loans. U.S. Borrower shall pay to U.S. Agent, for the ratable benefit of U.S. Lenders, a fee equal to 0.375% per annum multiplied by the average daily amount by which the Aggregate U.S. Revolving
Loan Commitments exceeds the sum of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans plus (ii) the U.S. LC Amount. All of such fees payable by Canadian Borrower or U.S. Borrower are collectively referred to herein as the
“Unused Line Fees”. The Unused Line Fees shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month hereafter. 
 
2.6. Prepayment Fee. 
 
At the effective date of termination of this Agreement for any reason, if termination occurs during the first twelve-month period of the
Term (i.e., November 14, 2002 
 

-11- 

 
through November 14, 2003),
Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders (in addition to the then outstanding principal, accrued interest and other charges owing under the terms of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents and any
amounts owing pursuant to subsection 3.2.5) pro rata in accordance with the outstanding Obligations owed to them, as liquidated damages for the loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 1% of the Total Credit Facility then
in effect. 
 
2.7. Audit Fees. 
 
Canadian Borrower shall pay to Canadian Agent, and U.S.
Borrower shall pay to U.S. Agent, audit fees in the amount of U.S. $850 per person, per day, with a cap, absent Default, of U.S. $25,000 in aggregate for both Borrowers, for each calendar year commencing on the Closing Date in connection with audits
of the books, records and Properties of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries as such Agents shall deem appropriate in their reasonable credit judgment. In addition, Canadian Borrower shall pay to Canadian Agent, and U.S. Borrower shall pay to U.S.
Agent, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each such Agent in connection with such audits, whether such audits are conducted by employees of such Agent or by third parties hired by such Agent. Such audit fees and out-of-pocket expenses
shall be payable immediately upon demand therefor by Administrative Agent from time to time. Each Agent may, in its discretion, provide for the payment of such amounts by making appropriate Revolving Credit Loans to the applicable Borrower and
charging such Borrower’s Loan Account therefor. 
 
2.8. Reimbursement of Expenses. 
 
If, at any time or times regardless of whether or not an Event of Default then exists, (i) any Agent incurs reasonable legal or accounting expenses or any other costs or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (1) the negotiation
and preparation of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any amendment of or modification of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any syndication or attempted syndication of the Obligations (including, without
limitation, printing and distribution of materials to prospective Lenders and all costs associated with bank meetings, but excluding any closing fees paid to Lenders in connection therewith) or (2) the administration of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; or (ii) any Agent or any Lender incurs legal or accounting expenses or any other costs or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (1) any litigation, contest, dispute,
suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by any Agent, any Lender, either Borrower or any other Person) relating to the Collateral, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or either Borrower, any of its Subsidiary’s or any
Guarantor’s affairs; (2) any attempt to enforce any rights of any Agent or any Lender against either Borrower or any other Person which may be obligated to an Agent or any Lender by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, the Account Debtors; or (3) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, preserve, restore, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents; then all such legal and accounting expenses, other costs and out-of-pocket expenses of any Agent or any Lender, as applicable, shall be charged to the applicable Borrower; provided, that Borrowers shall not be responsible for
such 
 

-12- 

 
costs and out-of-pocket
expenses to the extent incurred because of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Agent or any Lender. All amounts chargeable to either Borrower under this Section 2.8 shall be Obligations secured by all of the Collateral, shall be
payable on demand to such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall bear interest from the date such demand is made until paid in full at the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans,
as the case may be, from time to time. Each Borrower shall also reimburse the applicable Agent and Lenders for expenses incurred by such Agent and Lenders in their administration of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner provided in
Sections 2.9 and 2.10 hereof. 
 
2.9.
Bank Charges. 
 
Each Borrower shall pay to
the applicable Agent, on demand, any and all fees, costs or expenses which such Agent or Lender pays to a bank or other similar institution arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to either Borrower or any other Person on behalf of
such Borrower, by such Agent or Lender, of proceeds of Loans made to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the depositing for collection by such Agent or Lender of any cheque or item of payment received or delivered to such Agent or
Lender on account of the Obligations. 
 
2.10.
Collateral Protection Expenses; Appraisals. 
 
All out-of-pocket expenses incurred in protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral, and any and all excise, property, sales, and use taxes imposed by any federal, provincial, state or
local authority on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof shall be borne and paid by the applicable Borrower. If either Borrower fails to promptly pay any portion thereof when due, the applicable Agent may, at its option, but shall
not be required to, pay the same and charge the applicable Borrower therefor. Additionally, from time to time, if any Agent determines that obtaining appraisals is necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulations, and at any time if a Default
or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or otherwise at any other time no more frequently than annually, such Agent may, at the applicable Borrower’s expense (in the amount of U.S. $850 per person, per day, for appraisals
conducted by such Agent’s internal personnel, with a cap for appraisals conducted by such Agent’s internal personnel and for appraisals conducted by external personnel, absent Default, of U.S. $50,000 in aggregate for both Borrowers, for
each calendar year commencing on the Closing Date), obtain appraisals from appraisers (in the absence of a Default or Event of Default, each Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to use its internal personnel to conduct each such appraisal required
hereunder), stating the then current fair market value of all or any portion of the real estate or personal Property of such Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including without limitation the Inventory of such Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 
2.11. Payment of
Charges. 
 
All amounts chargeable to each
Borrower under this Agreement shall be Obligations secured by all of the Collateral, shall be, unless specifically otherwise provided, 
 

-13- 

 
payable on demand and shall
bear interest from the date demand was made or such amount is due, as applicable, until paid in full at the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, from time to time.

 
2.12. No Deductions. 
 
(i) Any and all payments or reimbursements
made hereunder or under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto; excluding, however, the
following: taxes imposed on the net income of any Agent or any Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which any Agent or any Lender is organized or doing business or any political subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on its net income by the
jurisdiction of such Agent’s or such Lender’s applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto,
herein “Tax Liabilities”). If either Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by law or the administration thereof to deduct any such Tax Liabilities from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Agent or any Lender,
then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after all required deductions are made, such Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Whenever
any Tax Liabilities are deducted by either Borrower or any Guarantor, as soon as practicable thereafter, such Borrower or Guarantor shall send to Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the applicable other Agent, or Lender, a
certified copy of an official receipt received by the applicable Borrower or Guarantor showing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. If either Borrower or a Guarantor fails to pay any Tax
Liabilities when due to the appropriate taxing authority, the applicable Borrower or Guarantor shall indemnify the applicable Agents and Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Agents or Lenders as a
result of any such failure. The covenants in this Section 2.12(i) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Obligations. 
 
(ii) Where, in respect of a particular Tax Liability for which a Borrower has made an increased payment or paid a
compensating sum under subsection 2.12(i), a Lender or Agent has received or realized a refund of, credit against, or other reduction in taxes paid or otherwise payable by it (any of the foregoing being a “saving”) which, in
such Lender’s or Agent’s opinion, is reasonably identifiable and quantifiable by it without involving it in an unacceptable administrative burden, the applicable Lender or Agent shall provide notice of such saving to the applicable
Borrower and pay to the applicable Borrower (to the extent the applicable Lender or Agent can do so without prejudicing the amount of such saving and its right to obtain any other 
 

-14- 

 
benefit,
relief or allowance which may be available to it) such amount as the Lender or Agent in good faith determines will leave the applicable Lender or Agent in no worse position than it would have been in if the deduction or withholding had not been
required; provided that: (1) if the applicable Lender or Agent has made a payment to a Borrower pursuant to this subsection 2.12(ii) on account of a saving and later receives a lesser saving or loses or is denied such saving, the
applicable Borrower shall pay on written demand to the applicable Lender or Agent such sum as the Lender or Agent determines as being necessary to restore the after-tax position of the applicable Lender or Agent to that which it would have been had
no adjustment under this subsection 2.12(ii) been necessary; (2) the applicable Lender or Agent shall not be obliged to make any payment under this subsection 2.12(ii) if, by doing so, it would contravene the terms of any applicable
law; (3) if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Lender or Agent shall not be obliged to make any payment under this subsection 2.12(ii) until such Default or Event of Default has been remedied; and (4)
nothing herein shall interfere with the right of any Lender or Agent to arrange its affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no Lender or Agent shall be under any obligation to claim any relief in respect of a Tax Liability, or
to claim such relief in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or to disclose details of its affairs. 
 
2.13. Guarantee. 
 
(i) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or earlier,
by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of every kind and nature of the other Borrower to Agents and Lenders, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, and howsoever owned, held or acquired by any Agent or any Lender. Each Borrower agrees that if this guarantee, or any Liens securing this
guarantee, would, but for the application of this sentence, be unenforceable under applicable law, this guarantee and each such Lien shall be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent that would not cause this guarantee or such Lien to be
unenforceable under applicable law, and this guarantee shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times. 
 
(ii) Each Borrower hereby agrees that its obligations under this guarantee shall be unconditional, irrespective of (a) the
validity or enforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof, or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (b) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from the other Borrower or any
Guarantor or other action to enforce the same, (c) the waiver or consent by any Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any agreement, 
 

-15- 

instrument or document evidencing or securing all or any part of the Obligations, or any
other agreement, instrument or document now or hereafter executed by the other Borrower and delivered to any Agent or any Lender (other than a waiver, forgiveness or consent by Agents and Lenders that reduces the amount of any of the Obligations),
(d) the failure by any Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or Collateral for the Obligations, for its benefit, (e) any Agent’s or any Lender’s
election, in any proceeding instituted under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar bankruptcy or insolvency legislation, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar bankruptcy
or insolvency legislation, (f) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by either Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar bankruptcy or insolvency legislation, (g) the
disallowance, under Section 502 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar bankruptcy or insolvency legislation, of all or any portion of any Agent’s or any Lender’s claim(s) for repayment of the Obligations or (h) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a borrower or a guarantor. 
 
(iii) Each Borrower hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
receivership or bankruptcy of either Borrower, protest or notice with respect to the Obligations and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this guarantee will not be discharged, except by complete and irrevocable payment and performance of the
Obligations. No notice to either Borrower or any other party shall be required for any Agent or any Lender to make demand hereunder. Such demand shall constitute a mature and liquidated claim against the applicable Borrower. Without limiting any
other rights or remedies available to any Agent or any Lender under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or under applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, any Agent or any Lender may, in its sole election, proceed directly and
at once, without notice, against either Borrower to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrower or any other Person, or any security or collateral for the Obligations.
During any period in which an Event of Default exists, each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and collections at any time or times hereafter received by any Agent from or on behalf of such
Borrower, and each Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that each Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections received at any time or times hereafter by such Agent or its agent
against the Obligations, in such manner as such Agent may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by any Agent or any Lender upon any of its books and records. 
 

-16- 

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section
2.13, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the liability incurred by each Borrower in respect of its guarantee of the Obligations of the other Borrower (and any Lien granted by each Borrower to secure such Obligations), not constitute a
fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable law of any state or other governmental unit (“Fraudulent
Conveyance”). Consequently, each Borrower, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the incurrence of liability by either Borrower in respect of its guarantee of the Obligations of
the other Borrower (or any Liens granted by such Borrower to secure such Obligations) would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, such liability (and such Liens) shall be valid and enforceable only to the
maximum extent that would not cause the same to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly.

of any other Agent or Lender to make the Loans to be made by such other Agent or Lender. The foregoing notwithstanding, Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable, in their sole discretion, may from their own funds make a Loan on behalf of any

Obligations at any time owed by such Borrower to any Agent or any Lender hereunder. Administrative Agent shall, when possible, provide the applicable Borrower with 2 days prior notice of any such advance in respect of out-of-pocket fees, costs and
expenses, and within a reasonable time following such advance Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Borrower with appropriate documentation in respect of such out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses if so requested by such Borrower.

Delayed Draw Term Loans advances, Letters of Credit and LC Guarantees to them, and (iii) Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, permit electronic transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Agents. Unless either
Borrower specifically directs Administrative Agent or Bank in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic or electronic 
 

-20- 

communications from such Borrower, neither any Agent nor Bank shall have any liability to
either Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by such Borrower as a result of any Agent’s or Bank’s honouring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it
telephonically or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Administrative Agent or Bank by either Borrower, and neither Administrative Agent nor Bank shall have any duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the authority of
the Person sending it. Each telephonic or electronic request for a Revolving Credit Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan advance, Letter of Credit or LC Guarantee accepted by Administrative Agent and Bank, if applicable, hereunder shall be promptly followed
by a written confirmation of such request from the applicable Borrower to Administrative Agent and Bank, if applicable.

unless such Canadian BA Rate Loan shall be repaid, shall automatically be converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to such Canadian BA Rate Loan.

-22- 

or if with respect to any Interest Period, Administrative Agent is unable to determine the
Canadian BA Rate or LIBOR relating thereto, or adverse or unusual conditions in, or changes in applicable law relating to, the Canadian BA market or the London interbank market make it, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent,
impracticable to fund or maintain therein any of the Canadian BA Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, or make the projected Canadian BA Rate or LIBOR unreflective of the actual costs of funds therefor to any Lender, the obligation of the applicable Agent and
Lenders to make or continue Canadian BA Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans or convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Canadian BA Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans hereunder shall forthwith be suspended during the pendency of such

3.2.
Payments. 
 
Except where evidenced by notes
or other instruments issued or made by a Borrower to any Lender and accepted by such Lender specifically containing payment instructions that are in conflict with this Section 3.2 (in which case the conflicting provisions of said notes or
other instruments shall govern and control), the Obligations shall be payable as follows: 
 
3.2.1. Principal. 
 
(i) Revolving Credit Loans. Principal on account of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans shall be payable by Canadian Borrower to Canadian Agent for the ratable benefit of Canadian Lenders, and
principal on account of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans shall be payable by U.S. Borrower to U.S. Agent for the ratable benefit of U.S. Lenders, immediately upon the earliest of (i) the receipt by such Agent or such Borrower of any proceeds of any of
the Collateral (except as otherwise provided herein), including without limitation pursuant to subsections 3.3.1, 6.2.4, and 6.2.5 to the extent of said proceeds, subject to such Borrower’s rights to reborrow such amounts
in compliance with subsection 1.1.1 hereof; (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which Administrative Agent or Majority Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity and payment of the Obligations, or (iii) termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that, if an Overadvance shall exist at any time, the applicable Borrower shall, on demand, repay the Overadvance. Each payment (including principal prepayment) by
Canadian Borrower on account of principal of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied first to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and then, if requested by Canadian Borrower, to Canadian BA Rate Loans to be applied in the order requested by
Canadian Borrower (subject to the payment of any applicable amounts pursuant to subsection 3.2.5) or otherwise shall be available to be reborrowed to the extent permitted herein. Each 
 

-23- 

payment (including principal prepayment) by U.S. Borrower on account of principal of the
U.S. Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans, and then, if requested by U.S. Borrower, to LIBOR Loans in the order requested by U.S. Borrower (subject to the payment of any applicable amounts pursuant to subsection
3.2.5) or otherwise shall be available to be reborrowed to the extent permitted herein. 
 
(ii) U.S. Closing Date Term Loan. Principal payable on account of the U.S. Closing Date Term Loan shall be payable
by U.S. Borrower in accordance with the terms of the U.S. Closing Date Term Loan Notes. 
 
(iii) Canadian Closing Date Term Loan. Principal payable on account of the Canadian Closing Date Term Loan shall be

Canadian Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Notes. 
 
3.2.2. Interest. Interest accrued on all Loans shall be due and payable on the earliest of (a) each applicable
Interest Payment Date, (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which Administrative Agent elects or Majority Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity and payment of the Obligations or (c) termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 4 hereof. 
 
3.2.3.
Costs, Fees and Charges. Costs, fees and charges payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable by Borrowers, as and when provided in Section 2 or Section 3 hereof, as applicable, by the applicable Borrower to the
applicable Agent or Lender, or to any other Person designated by such Agent or such Lender in writing. 
 
3.2.4. Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of money, if any, shall be payable
by Borrowers to the applicable Agent, for distribution to the applicable Lenders as and when provided in this Agreement, the Other Agreements or the Security Documents, or on demand, whichever is later. 
 
3.2.5. Prepayment of/Failure to Borrow
Canadian BA Rate Loans/LIBOR Loans. Borrowers may prepay Canadian BA Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans only upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable). The applicable Borrower
shall pay to each applicable Lender, upon request of Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent or such Lender) to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost, or expense
incurred as a result of: (i) any payment of a Canadian BA Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period; (ii) any failure by such Borrower to borrow a Canadian BA Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan on the date specified by
such Borrower’s Canadian 
 

-24- 

BA Request or LIBOR Request; or (iii) any failure by such Borrower to pay a Canadian BA
Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan on the date for payment specified in such Borrower’s notice. Without limiting the foregoing, the applicable Borrower shall pay to each applicable Lender a “yield maintenance fee” in an amount computed as
follows: the current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent), or equivalent instrument for Canada, as determined by the Administrative Agent, with a maturity date closest to
the Interest Period chosen pursuant to the Canadian BA Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan as to which the prepayment is made, shall be subtracted from the Canadian BA Rate or LIBOR in effect at the time of prepayment. If the result is zero or a negative
number, there shall be no yield maintenance fee. If the result is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the amount of the principal balance being prepaid. The resulting amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied
by the number of days remaining in the Interest Period chosen pursuant to the Canadian BA Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan as to which the prepayment is made. Said amount shall be reduced to present value calculated by using the above referenced United
States Treasury securities or equivalent rate and the number of days remaining in the term chosen pursuant to the Canadian BA Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan as to which prepayment is made. The resulting amount shall be the yield maintenance fee due to the
applicable Lender upon the prepayment of a Canadian BA Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan. If by reason of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent or Majority Lenders elect to declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, then any such yield
maintenance fee shall become due and payable in the same manner as though Borrowers had exercised such right of prepayment. 
 
3.3. Mandatory and Optional Prepayments. 
 
3.3.1. Proceeds of Sale, Loss, Destruction or Condemnation of Collateral. Except as provided in subsections
6.4.2 and 8.2.9, if either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries sells any of the Collateral or any of such Borrower’s or Subsidiary’s assets or if any of the Collateral or other assets is lost or destroyed or taken by
expropriation or condemnation, the applicable Borrower shall, unless otherwise agreed by Majority Lenders, pay to the applicable Agent for the ratable benefit of the applicable Lenders as and when received by such Borrower or such Subsidiary and as
a mandatory prepayment of the applicable Loans, as herein provided, a sum equal to the cash proceeds (including insurance payments but net of costs and taxes incurred in connection with such sale or event or in connection with the repatriation to
Canadian Borrower of such proceeds) received by such Borrower or such Subsidiary from such sale, loss, destruction, expropriation or condemnation. To the extent that the Collateral or other assets sold, lost, destroyed or condemned consists of
Property owned by Canadian Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than U.S. Borrower) consisting of Equipment, real Property, or other Property other than Accounts or Inventory, the applicable prepayment shall be applied first to the
installments of principal due under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Notes ratably, to be applied to future installment payments on a ratable basis until paid in full, second to the installments of principal due under the Canadian Closing Date Term
Loan Note 
 

-25- 

ratably, to be applied to future installment payments on a ratable basis until paid in
full, third to be used by Canadian Borrower to make a loan to U.S. Borrower and for U.S. Borrower to apply such loan to the installments of principal due under the U.S. Closing Date Term Loan Notes ratably, to be applied to future installment
payments on a ratable basis until paid in full, fourth to the outstanding principal of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, subject to Canadian Borrower’s right to reborrow to the extent provided herein, and fifth, following the

sold, lost, destroyed or condemned consists of Property owned by U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries consisting of Equipment, real Property, or other Property other than Accounts or Inventory, the applicable prepayment shall be applied
first to the installments of principal due under the U.S. Closing Date Term Loan Note ratably, to be applied to future installment payments on a ratable basis until paid in full, second to be used by U.S. Borrower to make a loan to
Canadian Borrower and for Canadian Borrower to apply such loan to the installments of principal due under the Canadian Closing Date Term Loan Note ratably, to be applied to future installment payments on a ratable basis until paid in full,
third to be used by U.S. Borrower to make a loan to Canadian Borrower and for Canadian Borrower to apply such loan to the installments of principal due under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Notes ratably, to be applied to future installment
payments on a ratable basis until paid in full, fourth to repay outstanding principal of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans, subject to U.S. Borrower’s right to reborrow to the extent provided herein, and fifth, following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent of any surplus, such prepayment shall be applied to the outstanding principal of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans. To the extent that the Collateral or other assets sold,
lost, destroyed or condemned consists of Accounts of any Obligor or Inventory of either Borrower, the applicable prepayment shall be applied first to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Borrower’s Revolving Credit
Loans, but shall not permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments, and second, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent of any surplus, such prepayment shall be applied to the outstanding
principal of the other applicable Borrower’s Revolving Credit Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proceeds of insurance (net of costs and taxes incurred) with respect to any loss or destruction of any Collateral consisting of
Equipment, Inventory or real Property (i) are less than Cdn. $2,500,000, unless an Event of Default is then in existence, the applicable Agent shall remit such proceeds to the applicable Borrower for use in replacing or repairing the damaged
Collateral or (ii) are equal to or greater than Cdn. $2,500,000 and the applicable Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent agree to permit such Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary to repair or replace the damaged Collateral, such amounts
shall be provisionally applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans until the earlier of Administrative Agent’s decision with respect thereto or the expiration of 90 days from such request. If
Administrative Agent agrees, in its reasonable judgment, to permit such repair or replacement under 
 

-26- 

such clause (ii), such amount shall, unless an Event of Default is in existence, be
remitted to the applicable Borrower for use in replacing or repairing the damaged Collateral; if Administrative Agent declines to permit such repair or replacement or does not respond to such Borrower within such 90 day period, such amount shall be
applied to the applicable Loans in the manner specified in the second or third sentence of this subsection 3.3.1, as applicable, until payment thereof in full. 
 
3.3.2. Excess Cash Flow Recapture. Canadian Borrower shall prepay the Loans owing by
it in amounts equal to Excess Cash Flow with respect to each fiscal year of Canadian Borrower during the Term hereof, commencing with the fiscal year ending August 31, 2003 (excluding that portion of such fiscal year prior to the Closing Date), such
prepayments to be based upon, and made within 5 Business Days following the due date for delivery by Borrowers to Administrative Agent of the annual financial statements required by subsection 8.1.3(i) hereof and each such prepayment shall be
applied first to the installments of principal due under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Notes ratably (based on the outstanding principal amounts thereof at the time such payment is due), to be applied to future installment payments thereunder on
a ratable basis until paid in full, and second, if all such outstanding and future installments under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Notes at such time have been paid in full, such prepayments shall be applied to the installments of principal due
under the Canadian Closing Date Term Loan Note ratably (based on the outstanding principal amounts thereof at the time such payment is due), to be applied to future installment payments thereunder on a ratable basis until paid in full. If all such
outstanding and future installments under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Notes at such time and the Canadian Closing Date Term Loan Note have been paid in full, U.S. Borrower shall prepay the Loans owing by it in amounts equal to Excess Cash Flow with

payment is due), to be applied to future installment payments thereunder on a ratable basis until paid in full. 
 
3.3.3. Proceeds from Issuance of Additional Indebtedness or Equity. If either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
issues any additional Indebtedness for Money Borrowed or if Canadian Borrower obtains any additional equity in a manner permitted under this Agreement (other than equity obtained by Canadian Borrower in order to prevent the occurrence of an Event of
Default as provided in subsection 10.1.8), such Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of applicable Lenders, when and as received by such Borrower and as a mandatory prepayment of the applicable Obligations, a sum
equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds to such Borrower or Subsidiary of the issuance of such Indebtedness or equity. Any such prepayment shall be applied to the applicable Loans in the manner specified in the second or third sentence, as
applicable, of subsection 3.3.1 (as though such amounts constituted proceeds of Collateral under such subsection) until payment thereof in full. 
 

-27- 

 
3.3.4. Canadian BA Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans. If the application of any payment made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 at a time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing would result in
termination of a Canadian BA Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the amount of such prepayment shall not be applied to such Canadian BA Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan, as applicable, but will, at the applicable
Borrower’s option, be held by Administrative Agent in an account at a Lender (which account shall, at Borrower’s request, bear interest at such Lender’s applicable rate for short term deposits of comparable amounts) or another bank
satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its discretion, which account is in the name of Administrative Agent and from which account only Administrative Agent can make any withdrawal, in each case to be applied as such amount would otherwise have
been applied under this Section 3.3 at the earlier to occur of (i) the last day of the relevant Interest Period or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default. 
 
3.3.5. Optional Prepayments. Either Borrower may, at its option from time to time upon
not less than 3 days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, prepay installments of the applicable Term Notes, provided that the amount of any such prepayment is at least Cdn. $500,000 or the Equivalent thereof and in integral multiples
of Cdn. $100,000 or the Equivalent thereof above Cdn.$500,000 or the Equivalent thereof, and that such prepayments are made ratably with respect to all Term Notes of such Borrower, based on the outstanding principal balances thereof at the time of
payment. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the installments of principal due under the Term Notes of such Borrower on a ratable basis. Any such optional prepayment shall be credited against the amount of the mandatory prepayment required
under subsection 3.3.2 for the fiscal year in which such optional prepayment was made. Except for charges under subsection 3.2.5 applicable to prepayments of Canadian BA Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, and except for charges under
Section 2.6 applicable to termination of the Total Credit Facility, such prepayments shall be without premium or penalty. 
 
3.3.6. Optional Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments. Borrowers may, at their option from time to time but not
more than once in any 12 month period upon not less than 3 Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, the unused portion of the Revolving Loan Commitments, provided, however,
that (i) each such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of Cdn. $2,000,000 or integral multiples of Cdn. $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the aggregate of all optional reductions to the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount may not
exceed Cdn. $5,000,000 during any 12 month period or Cdn. $10,000,000 during the Term. Any such notice of reduction or termination by either Borrower shall be irrevocable unless all applicable Lenders otherwise agree in writing and no such
applicable Lender shall have any obligations to make an applicable Revolving Credit Loan on or after the termination date stated in such notice. 
 

-28- 

 
3.3.7. Optional Reductions or Termination of Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments. Upon at least 3 Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, and subject to the terms and conditions of this subsection
3.3.7, Canadian Borrower may, at its option, terminate in whole, or from time to time not more than once in any 12 month period permanently reduce in part, the unused portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments; provided however,
that (i) each such partial reduction shall be in a minimum amount of Cdn. $1,000,000 or integral multiples of Cdn. $1,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate of all optional reductions to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this subsection
3.3.7 may not exceed Cdn. $5,000,000 during any 12 month period or Cdn. $10,000,000 during the Term (unless the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments are terminated in their entirety as contemplated herein). Any such notice of reduction or
termination given by Canadian Borrower shall be irrevocable unless all Canadian Lenders otherwise agree in writing and, in the case of termination, no Canadian Lender shall have any obligation to make any Delayed Draw Term Loans on or after the
termination date stated in such notice. Canadian Borrower may elect to terminate all undrawn Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments in their entirety (to the extent not eliminated pursuant to the partial reductions contemplated herein) only after the
first anniversary of the Closing Date. 
 
3.3.8. Proceeds of EOC Dispute. If and when Canadian Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any payments resulting from the purchase price adjustment dispute with EOC GmbH, a subsidiary of Milacron Inc., (the
“EOC Adjustment”) or the holdback of payments (the “EOC Holdback”) relating to the sale of the Borrowers’ business interests and operations in Mahlberg and Ludenscheid, Germany, and their distribution interests
in France and the Czech Republic, in May 2001, Canadian Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of applicable Lenders, when and as received by Canadian Borrower (and as soon as practicable after receipt by such Subsidiary)
and as a mandatory repayment of the Obligations, a sum equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds to such Canadian Borrower or Subsidiary of such payments (which, for greater certainty, shall not include any costs and taxes in connection with the
repatriation to Canadian Borrower of such payments). Any such repayments shall be applied to the outstanding principal of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, or if requested by Canadian Borrower, any such repayments relating to the EOC Adjustment
may, to the extent permitted by subsection 8.2.2(v) of this Agreement, be loaned by Canadian Borrower to U.S. Borrower in which case such loan shall be applied to the outstanding principal of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans, until payment
thereof in full, subject to such Borrower’s right to reborrow to the extent provided herein. Upon such repayment by Canadian Borrower, Administrative Agent shall apply a reserve against the Canadian Borrowing Base in the amount of such
repayment received relating to the EOC Adjustment and not loaned to U.S. Borrower; provided that, Canadian Borrower may elect (a) subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out in subsection 8.2.6(i) (a), (b), (c) and (d), to
repurchase Subordinated Notes in an amount up to such repayment not loaned to U.S. Borrower (less any amount reborrowed under subsection 3.3.8(b) below), in which case Administrative Agent will reduce the reserve by the amount of

 

-29- 

such repurchase and/or (b) to reborrow to the extent permitted herein as a Canadian
Revolving Credit Loan up to the amount repaid by Canadian Borrower (less any amount used to repurchase Subordinated Notes under subsection 3.3.8(a) above) to be used for working capital purposes, in which case Administrative Agent will reduce
the reserve against the Canadian Borrowing Base by the amount so reborrowed, and the value of the Subordinated Notes which Canadian Borrower may repurchase under subsection 3.3.8(a) above shall be reduced by the same amount. Upon such
repayment by U.S. Borrower, Administrative Agent shall apply a reserve against the U.S. Borrowing Base in the amount of such repayment received relating to the EOC Adjustment loaned to U.S. Borrower; provided that, U.S. Borrower may elect (c)
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out in subsection 8.2.6(i) (a), (b), (c) and (d), to repurchase Subordinated Notes in an amount up to such repayment (less any amount reborrowed under subsection 3.3.8(d) below), in
which case Administrative Agent will reduce the reserve by the amount of such repurchase and/or (d) to reborrow to the extent permitted herein as a U.S. Revolving Credit Loan up to the amount repaid by U.S. Borrower (less any amount used to
repurchase Subordinated Notes under subsection 3.3.8(c) above) to be used for working capital purposes, in which case Administrative Agent will reduce the reserve against the U.S. Borrowing Base by the amount so reborrowed, and the value of
the Subordinated Notes which U.S. Borrower may repurchase under subsection 3.3.8(c) above shall be reduced by the same amount. For purposes of determining compliance with subsection 8.2.6 pursuant to subsections 3.3.8(a) and
(c) above the minimum Availability test in subsection 8.2.6 shall be calculated (i) with regard to any reserves stipulated by this subsection 3.3.8 and (ii) by calculating average combined Availability during the Test Period as
the sum of (e) the actual average combined Availability during the Test Period and (f) any amount reborrowed pursuant to subsections 3.3.8(b) and (d) above. 
 
3.4. Application of Payments and Collections. 
 
3.4.1. Collections. All items of
payment received by Administrative Agent or U.S. Agent by 12:00 noon, Chicago time, or by Canadian Agent by 12:00 noon, Toronto time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on that Business Day. All items of payment received after such time on
any Business Day shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. If as the result of collections of Accounts as authorized by subsection 6.2.4 hereof or otherwise, a credit balance exists in either Loan Account, such credit balance
shall not accrue interest in favour of the applicable Borrower, but shall be disbursed to the applicable Borrower or otherwise at such Borrower’s direction in the manner set forth in subsection 3.1.2, upon such Borrower’s request at
any time, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists. The applicable Agent may at its option, offset such credit balance against any of the Obligations upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default. 
 
3.4.2. Apportionment, Application and
Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest payments by Canadian Borrower shall be apportioned ratably among Canadian Lenders, and principal and interest payments by U.S. Borrower shall be 
 

-30- 

apportioned ratably among U.S. Lenders (in each case, according to the unpaid principal
balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by each such Lender). All such payments shall be remitted to Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable, and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Loans, or not
constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Accounts, or, except as provided in subsection 3.3.1, other Collateral received by any Agent, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, first, to
pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements (other than amounts related to Product Obligations) then due to the applicable Agent or Lender from the applicable Borrower; second, to pay interest due from the applicable Borrower to the
applicable Lenders in respect of all Loans and Agent Loans; third, to pay or prepay principal of Agent Loans; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans (other than Agent Loans) and unpaid reimbursement
obligations in respect of Letters of Credit of the applicable Borrower; fifth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay an amount to each Agent equal to all outstanding Letter of Credit and LC Obligations to be held as
cash Collateral for such Obligations; sixth, to pay or prepay principal of the Term Loans to the applicable Lenders to the extent then due; seventh, to the payment of any other Obligation (other than amounts related to Product
Obligations) due to the applicable Agent or Lender by the applicable Borrower; eighth, to pay any principal amount, fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements related to Product Obligations then due; and ninth, if an Event of Default
has not occurred and is not continuing, to the applicable Borrower, to be used by such Borrower only in a manner permitted hereunder. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Agent shall have the continuing
exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections received at any time or times hereafter by such Agent or its agents against the Obligations, in such manner as such Agent may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by
any Agent or any Lender upon any of its books and records. 
 
3.5. Loan Accounts. 
 
Administrative Agent shall enter all Loans as debits to loan accounts of the applicable Borrower (collectively, the “Loan Accounts”) and shall also record in each applicable Loan Account all payments made by each
Borrower on any Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral which are finally paid to each Agent, and may record therein, in accordance with customary accounting practice, other debits and credits, including interest and all charges and expenses
properly chargeable to each Borrower. 
 
3.6.
Statements of Account. 
 
Administrative
Agent will account to each Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement during the immediately preceding month, and such account rendered by Administrative Agent shall be deemed final, binding and
conclusive upon each Borrower absent demonstrable error unless Administrative Agent is notified by either Borrower in writing to the contrary within 30 days of the date each 
 

-31- 

accounting is received by such Borrower. Such notice shall only be deemed an objection to those items
specifically objected to therein. 
 
3.7.
Increased Costs. 
 
If any law or any
governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) adopted or implemented after the date of this Agreement and having general applicability to all banks or finance companies
within the jurisdiction in which any Lender operates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the effect of and phasing in of capital requirements or other regulations or guidelines passed prior to the date of this Agreement), or any interpretation
or application thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof, or the compliance of such Lender therewith, shall: 
 
(i) (1) subject such Lender to any tax with respect to this Agreement (other than (a) any tax based on or measured by net
income or otherwise in the nature of a net income tax, including, without limitation, any tax based on net worth or comparable basis for measurement and (b) subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, any tax collected by a withholding on
payments and which neither is computed by reference to the net income of the payee nor is in the nature of an advance collection of a tax based on or measured by the net income of the payee) or (2) change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any Loan Documents (other than in respect of (a) any tax based on or measured by net income or otherwise in the nature of a net income tax, including, without
limitation, any tax based on net worth or comparable basis for measurement and (b) subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, any tax collected by a withholding on payments and which neither is computed by reference to the net income of the
payee nor is in the nature of an advance collection of a tax based on or measured by the net income of the payee); 
 
(ii) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve (except any reserve taken into account in the determination of the
applicable LIBOR), special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of such Lender, including (without limitation) pursuant
to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or 
 
(iii) impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition with respect to any Loan Document; 
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing or maintaining Loans
hereunder or the result of any of the foregoing is to reduce the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, or the result of any of the foregoing is to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Loans, then, in any such case, the applicable Borrower shall 
 

-32- 

pay the applicable Lender, upon demand and certification not later than sixty (60) days following its
receipt of notice of the imposition of such increased costs, such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, to the extent such Lender has not otherwise been compensated, with
respect to a particular Loan, for such increased cost as a result of an increase in the applicable interest rate. An officer of the applicable Lender shall determine the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount using reasonable averaging and
attribution methods and shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to the applicable Borrower, which certification shall include a written explanation of such additional cost or reduction to such Borrower. Such certification
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If a Lender claims any additional cost or reduced amount pursuant to this Section 3.7, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a
different lending office or to file any certificate or document requested by the applicable Borrower, acting reasonably, if the making of such designation or filing would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional cost or
reduced amount and would not, in the sole discretion of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 
3.8. Basis for Determining Canadian BA Rate Inadequate. 
 
In the event that Administrative Agent or any Canadian Lender shall have determined that reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Canadian BA Rate for any Interest Period, then Administrative Agent or such Lender shall give the Canadian Borrower prompt written, telephonic or electronic notice of the determination of such effect. If such notice is
given, (i) any such requested Canadian BA Rate Loan shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, unless the Canadian Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such
proposed borrowing that the request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Canadian BA Rate Loan, and (ii) any Canadian Prime Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Canadian BA Rate Loan,
shall be continued as or converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be, or, if Canadian Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion,
shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Canadian BA Rate Loan, as the case may be. 
 
3.9. Basis for Determining LIBOR Rate Inadequate. 
 
In the event that Administrative Agent or any U.S. Lender shall have determined that: 
 
(i) reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the LIBOR for any Interest Period; or 
 
(ii) U.S. Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank market with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR
Loan; then 
 

-33- 

Administrative Agent or such Lender shall give the U.S. Borrower prompt written, telephonic or electronic
notice of the determination of such effect. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested LIBOR Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, unless the U.S. Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) three (3)
Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing that the request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of LIBOR Loan, and (ii) any Base Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of LIBOR
Loan, shall be continued as or converted into a Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, or, if U.S. Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be
maintained as an unaffected type of LIBOR Loan, as the case may be. 
 
3.10. Sharing of Payments, Etc. 
 
Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, if any Canadian Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Loan made by it in excess
of its ratable share of payments on account of Loans made by all Canadian Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from each other Canadian Lender such participation in such Loan as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share
the excess payment ratably with each other applicable Lender; prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, if any U.S. Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on
account of any Loan made by it in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of Loans made by all U.S. Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from each other U.S. Lender such participation in such Loan as shall be necessary to cause
such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each other applicable Lender; upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Loan made by it in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of Loans made by all Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from each other Lender such participation in such Loan as
shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each other applicable Lender; provided, that, in each case, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, such purchase from each applicable Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lenders the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share
(according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the
total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 3.10 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the
right of set-off) with respect to such participation in the applicable Loans as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all
purchases and repayments to be made under this Section 3.10 shall be made through Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable. 
 

-34- 

SECTION 4. TERM AND TERMINATION 
 
4.1. Term of Agreement. 
 
Subject to the right of the applicable Lenders to cease making
Loans to each Borrower during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, this Agreement shall be in effect for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, through and including November 14, 2005 (the “Term”), unless
terminated as provided in Section 4.2 hereof. 
 
4.2. Termination. 
 
4.2.1 Termination by Lenders. Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of Majority Lenders shall, terminate this Agreement without notice upon or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

 
4.2.2. Termination by
Borrowers. Upon at least 3 days prior written notice to Agents and Lenders, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate this Agreement; provided, however, no such termination shall be effective until Borrowers have paid or
collateralized to Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction all of the Obligations in immediately available funds, all Letters of Credit and LC Guarantees have expired, terminated or have been cash collateralized to Administrative
Agent’s reasonable satisfaction and Borrowers have complied with Section 2.6 and subsection 3.2.5. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable unless all Lenders otherwise agree in writing and no Lender shall
have any obligation to make any Loans or issue or procure any Letters of Credit or LC Guarantees on or after the termination date stated in such notice. Borrowers may elect to terminate this Agreement in its entirety only. No section of this
Agreement or type of Loan available hereunder may be terminated singly. 
 
4.2.3. Effect of Termination. All of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable upon the termination date stated in any notice of termination of this Agreement. All undertakings,
agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of each Borrower contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any such termination and each applicable Agent shall retain its Liens in the applicable Collateral and each Agent and each Lender
shall retain all of their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents notwithstanding such termination until all Obligations have been discharged or paid, in full, in immediately available funds, including, without limitation, all Obligations under
Section 2.6 and subsection 3.2.5 resulting from such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the payment in full of the Obligations, neither Canadian Agent nor U.S. Agent shall be required to terminate its Liens in the Collateral
unless, with respect to any loss or damage such Agent may incur as a result of dishonoured cheques or other items of payment received by such Agent from the applicable Borrower or any Account Debtor and applied to the Obligations, such Agent shall,
at its option, (i) have received a written agreement satisfactory to such Agent, executed by the applicable Borrower and by any Person whose loans or other advances to such Borrower are used in whole or in part to satisfy 

 

-35- 

the Obligations, indemnifying Agents and Lenders from any such loss or damage or (ii) have retained cash Collateral or other Collateral for
such period of time as such Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to protect Agents and Lenders from any such loss or damage. 
 
SECTION 5. SECURITY INTERESTS 
 
5.1. Security Interest. 
 
5.1.1 Security Interest in Canadian Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance to each Agent and each

that to the extent that the provisions of any lease, agreement, account, claim, demand, chose in action, licence, permit or other property or
assets, including any lease or license of Computer Hardware and Software or Intellectual Property, (collectively, “Contractual Rights”) expressly prohibit or give rise to a right of termination (which prohibition or right of
termination is enforceable under applicable law) upon any assignment thereof or the grant of a security interest therein, the security interest will not extend to Canadian Borrower’s rights under such Contractual Rights (other than in respect
of the Proceeds thereof) for so long as such prohibition continues, it being understood that upon request of Canadian Agent, Canadian Borrower will in good faith use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any required consent for the creation of a
security interest in favour of Canadian Agent (and to Canadian Agent’s enforcement of such security interest) in Canadian Borrower’s rights under such Contractual Rights and until the earlier of such time or such consent no longer being

embodying, incorporating or referring to any of the foregoing, and all Proceeds, products, offspring, rents, issues, profits and returns of and from any of the foregoing; provided that to the extent that the provisions of any Contractual Rights
expressly prohibit expressly prohibit or give rise to a right of termination (which prohibition or right of termination is enforceable under applicable law) upon any assignment thereof or the grant of a security interest therein, the security
interest will not extend to U.S. 
 

-38- 

Borrower’s rights under such Contractual Rights (other than in respect of the Proceeds thereof) for so long as such prohibition
continues, it being understood that upon request of U.S. Agent, U.S. Borrower will in good faith use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any required consent for the creation of a security interest in favour of U.S. Agent (and to U.S.
Agent’s enforcement of such security interest) in U.S. Borrower’s rights under such Contractual Rights and until the earlier of such time or such consent no longer being required U.S. Borrower will hold such Contractual Rights in trust for
the benefit of U.S. Agent. The said security interests shall not extend or apply to the last day of the term of any lease of real Property now held or hereafter acquired by U.S. Borrower, but should such security interests become enforceable U.S.
Borrower shall thereafter stand possessed of such last day and shall hold it in trust for U.S. Agent to assign the same to any Person acquiring such term or the part thereof charged in the course of any enforcement of the said security interests or
any realization of the subject matter thereof.

Commercial Tort Claim, of Cdn. $100,000 or more, when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and a value of Cdn. $50,000, when an Event of Default has occurred and is occurring, against any third party and, upon request of
Administrative Agent, promptly enter into an amendment to this Agreement and do such other acts or things deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent to give U.S. Agent a security interest in any such Commercial Tort Claim. Each Borrower represents
and warrants that as of the date of this Agreement, to its knowledge, except as set forth on Exhibit 5.2.1, it does not possess any Commercial Tort Claims subject to the UCC. 
 
5.2.2.  Other Collateral. Each Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative
Agent in writing upon it acquiring or otherwise obtaining any Collateral having a value, for each item of Collateral, of Cdn. $50,000 or more consisting of Deposit Accounts, Investment Property, Letter-of-Credit Rights or Electronic Chattel Paper
and upon the request of Administrative Agent, promptly execute such other documents, and do such other acts or things deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent to deliver to Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable, control with respect to such
Collateral; promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing upon acquiring or otherwise obtaining any Collateral having a value, for each item of Collateral, of Cdn. $50,000 or more consisting of Documents, Documents of Title or Instruments and upon

-39- 

party which, at each location where so held by a third party, has an aggregate value of Cdn. $50,000, other than Certificated Securities and
Goods covered by a Document or Document of Title, obtain an acknowledgement from the third party that it is holding the Collateral for the benefit of applicable Agent. 
 
5.3.    Lien Perfection; Further Assurances. 
 
Borrowers shall execute, or cause German Obligor to execute,
such UCC financing statements as are required by the UCC and such other instruments, assignments or documents as are necessary to perfect each of Canadian Agent’s and U.S. Agent’s Liens upon any of the Collateral. Borrowers shall take such
other action as may be requested by Administrative Agent which is necessary or desirable under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to perfect or to continue the perfection of each such Agent’s Lien upon the Collateral.
Borrowers shall also take such other action as is known by either Borrower to be necessary under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to perfect or to continue the perfection of each such Agent’s Lien upon the Collateral.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, each Borrower hereby authorizes each such Agent to execute and file any such financing statement, including, without limitation, financing statements that indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such
Borrower or words of similar effect, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater or lesser detail, than as set forth in Section 5.1, on such Borrower’s behalf. Each Borrower also hereby ratifies its authorization for
Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable, to have filed in any jurisdiction any like financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. The parties agree that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this
Agreement shall be sufficient as a UCC financing statement and may be filed in any appropriate office in lieu thereof. At Administrative Agent’s request, each Borrower shall also promptly execute or cause to be executed and shall deliver to the
applicable Agent all documents, instruments and agreements expressly contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any and all other documents, instruments and agreements deemed necessary by Administrative Agent,
acting reasonably, to give effect to or carry out the terms or intent of the Loan Documents. 
 
5.4.    Lien on Realty. 
 
The due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations shall also be secured by the Lien created by Mortgages upon all real
Property of each Borrower now or hereafter owned. Each Mortgage shall be executed by the applicable Borrower in favour of Canadian Agent (or, in the case of the Deed of Hypothec, in favour of the Fondé du Pouvoir) or U.S. Agent, as
applicable. Each Mortgage shall be duly recorded, at the applicable Borrower’s expense, in each office where such recording is required to constitute a fully perfected first Lien on the real Property covered thereby. Each Borrower shall deliver
to the applicable Agent, at such Borrower’s expense, mortgagee title insurance policies issued by a title insurance company satisfactory to Administrative Agent, which policies shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative
Agent, acting reasonably, and shall insure a valid first Lien in favour of the applicable Agent (or, in the case of the Deed of Hypothec, in favour of the Fondé de Pouvoir), for the benefit of Agents and Lenders, on the Property covered by
each Mortgage, subject only to those exceptions acceptable to Administrative Agent and its counsel, acting reasonably. Each 

 

-40- 

Borrower shall promptly deliver to the applicable Agent such other documents, including, without limitation, as-built survey prints and
certificates of location of the real Property, as are in its possession (and otherwise shall deliver such items as soon as practicable) as Administrative Agent and its counsel may reasonably request relating to the real Property subject to the
Mortgages. 
 
SECTION 6. COLLATERAL
ADMINISTRATION 
 
6.1.
General. 
 
6.1.1.
Location of Collateral. All tangible Collateral, other than Inventory in transit and motor vehicles, will at all times be kept by a Borrower and its Subsidiaries at one or more of the respective business locations set forth in Exhibit
6.1.1 hereto, as updated by the applicable Borrower providing prior written notice to Administrative Agent of any new location. 
 
6.1.2. Insurance of Collateral. 
 
(i)  Each Borrower shall maintain and pay for insurance upon all Collateral
wherever located and with respect to the business of such Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, workers’ compensation and such other risks in such amounts and with such insurance companies as are
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrowers shall deliver certified copies of such policies to Administrative Agent as promptly as practicable, with satisfactory lender’s loss payable endorsements, naming Canadian Agent and U.S.
Agent as loss payee, assignee or additional insured, as appropriate, as its interest may appear, and showing only such other loss payees, assignees and additional insureds as are satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Each policy of insurance or
endorsement shall contain a mortgagee endorsement clause satisfactory to Administrative Agent, which includes a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than 15 days’ prior written notice to Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent as applicable, in
the event of cancellation of the policy for nonpayment of premium and not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable, in the event of cancellation of the policy for any other reason whatsoever and a
clause specifying that the interest of Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable, shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of either Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or the owner of the Property or by the occupation of the
premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. 
 
(ii)  Each Borrower agrees to deliver to Administrative Agent, promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in any reporting forms to insurance companies in respect of claims which
individually exceed Cdn. $50,000. All proceeds of business interruption insurance (if any) of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be remitted to Administrative Agent for 

 

-41- 

application to the outstanding balance of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans, subject to the applicable Borrower’s right to reborrow
to the extent provided herein. 
 
(iii) Unless Borrowers provide Administrative Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent may purchase insurance at the applicable Borrower’s expense to protect Agents’
interests in the Properties of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. This insurance may, but need not, protect the interests of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. The coverage that Administrative Agent purchases may not pay any claim that either Borrower
or any Subsidiary makes or any claim that is made against either Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with said Property. Borrowers may later cancel any insurance purchased by Administrative Agent, but only after providing Administrative Agent
with evidence that Borrowers and their Subsidiaries have obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Administrative Agent purchases insurance, the applicable Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest
and any other charges Administrative Agent may impose in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Obligations. The costs
of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance that Borrowers and their Subsidiaries may be able to obtain on their own. 
 
6.1.3. Protection of Collateral. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be liable or responsible in any way for the
safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in any Agent’s or any Lender’s actual possession) or for any diminution in the value thereof,
or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever, but the same shall be at the applicable Borrower’s sole risk. 
 
6.2. Administration of Accounts. 
 
6.2.1. Records, Schedules and Assignments
of Accounts. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause German Obligor to, keep accurate and complete records of its and German Obligor’s Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit to Administrative Agent concurrently with
the delivery of each Borrowing Base Certificate described in subsection 8.1.4, or more frequently as requested by Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, in accordance with its credit judgment from time to time, a sales and collections
report for the preceding period, in form consistent with the reports currently prepared by such Borrower with respect to such information. Concurrently with the delivery of each Borrowing Base Certificate described in subsection 8.1.4, or
more frequently as requested by Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, in accordance with its credit judgment from time to time, each Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a detailed aged trial balance of 

 

    -42- 

all of its Accounts, specifying the names, addresses, face values, dates of invoices and
due dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an Account so listed (each a “Schedule of Accounts”), and upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor, copies of proof of delivery and the original copy of all documents,
including, without limitation, repayment histories and present status reports relating to the Accounts so scheduled and such other matters and information relating to the status of then existing Accounts as Administrative Agent shall request, acting
reasonably. If requested by Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall, and shall cause German Obligor to, execute and deliver to Agents formal written assignments of all of such Obligor’s Accounts weekly or daily, which shall include all
Accounts that have been created since the date of the last assignment, together with copies of invoices or invoice registers related thereto. 
 
6.2.2. Discounts, Allowances, Disputes. If any Obligor grants any discounts, allowances or credits that are not
shown on the face of the invoice for the Account involved, the applicable Borrower shall report such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be, to Administrative Agent as part of the next required Schedule of Accounts. 
 
6.2.3. Account Verification. Any of any
Agent’s officers, employees or agents shall have the right, at any time or times hereafter, in the name of such Agent, any designee of such Agent or the applicable Obligor, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any
Accounts by mail, telephone, electronic communication or otherwise. Borrowers shall, and shall cause German Obligor to, cooperate fully with Agents in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process. Administrative Agent
will, if no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, thereafter use its best efforts to provide Canadian Borrower with the results of such verification. 
 
6.2.4. Maintenance of Dominion Account. Each Borrower shall maintain a Dominion Account or Accounts pursuant to
blocked account arrangements, in the case of Canadian Borrower, and lockbox arrangements, in the case of U.S. Borrower, acceptable to Administrative Agent with such banks as may be selected by such Borrower and be acceptable to Administrative Agent;
provided that, within 90 days after the Closing Date, U.S. Borrower shall have established, and shall thereafter maintain, its lockbox account arrangements with Bank. Each Borrower shall issue to any such applicable banks an irrevocable letter of
instruction directing such banks to deposit all payments or other remittances received in such blocked accounts or lockbox accounts to the Dominion Account for application on account of the Obligations as provided in subsection 3.2.1. All
funds deposited in any Dominion Account are subject to a security interest in favour of applicable Agent. The applicable Borrower shall obtain the agreement by such banks in favour of such Agent to waive any recoupment, setoff rights, and any
security interest in, or against, the funds so deposited (other than for payment to such banks of their normal and customary service fees and charges directly related to the administration of the Dominion Account and for returned cheques or other
items of repayment, to the 

 

-43- 

extent agreed to by the applicable Agent). No Agent assumes responsibility for such lockbox and blocked account arrangements, including,
without limitation, any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder. 
 
6.2.5. Collection of Accounts, Proceeds of Collateral. U.S. Borrower agrees that all invoices rendered and other
requests made by such Borrower for payment in respect of Accounts shall contain a written statement directing payment in respect of such Accounts to be paid to a lockbox or blocked account established pursuant to subsection 6.2.4. Canadian
Borrower agrees that all invoices rendered and other requests made by such Borrower for payment in respect of Accounts shall be made payable to one of Canadian Borrower’s places of business, to in turn be deposited to a blocked account
established pursuant to subsection 6.2.4. To expedite collection, each Borrower shall, and Canadian Borrower shall cause German Obligor to, endeavor in the first instance to make collection of its Accounts for the applicable Agent. All
remittances received by each Borrower on account of Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall, if received by such Borrower, be held for the benefit of Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable, by such Borrower as
trustee of an express trust for the applicable Agent’s benefit, and the applicable Borrower shall immediately deposit same in kind in the Dominion Account. Each Agent retains the right at all times after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default to notify Account Debtors that any Obligor’s Accounts have been assigned to an Agent and to collect such Obligor’s Accounts directly in its own name, or in the name of its agent, and to charge the
collection costs and expenses, including legal fees, to applicable Borrower. 
 
6.2.6. Taxes. If an Account includes a charge for any tax payable to any governmental taxing authority, each Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper
taxing authority for the account of the applicable Borrower and to charge such Borrower therefor, except for taxes that (i) are being actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which such Borrower maintains
reasonable reserves on its books therefor and (ii) would not reasonably be expected to result in any Lien other than a Permitted Lien. In no event shall any Agent or any Lender be liable for any taxes to any governmental taxing authority that may be
due by either Borrower. 
 
6.3. Administration
of Inventory. 
 
Each Borrower shall keep
records of its Inventory which records shall be complete and accurate in all material respects. Each Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent Inventory reports concurrently with the delivery of each Borrowing Base Certificate described in
subsection 8.1.4 or more frequently as requested by Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, in accordance with its credit judgment from time to time, which reports will be in such other format and detail as Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request and shall include a current list of all locations of such Borrower’s Inventory. Each Borrower shall conduct a physical inventory no less frequently than annually or a “cycle” physical inventory count in a 

 

-44- 

manner and frequency consistent with the manner and frequency acceptable to such Borrower’s external auditor. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each Borrower shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, in accordance with its credit judgment from time to time, conduct a physical inventory no less frequently than annually, and upon and during the continuance
of a Default, as frequently as is required by Administrative Agent. Each Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with a report based on each such physical inventory or “cycle” physical count, together with such supporting information
as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, promptly after each such physical inventory or “cycle” physical count has been completed. 
 
6.4. Administration of Equipment. 
 
6.4.1. Records and Schedules of Equipment. Each Borrower shall keep records of its Equipment which shall be
complete and accurate in all material respects itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality, quantity and book value of its Equipment and all dispositions made in accordance with subsection 6.4.2 hereof, and each Borrower shall, and shall
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish Administrative Agent with a current schedule containing the foregoing information on at least an annual basis and more often if requested by Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, in accordance with its
credit judgment from time to time. Promptly after the reasonable request therefor by Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent any and all evidence of ownership, if any, of any of its Equipment. 
 
6.4.2. Dispositions of Equipment.
Neither Borrower shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of its respective Equipment or other fixed assets or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Administrative
Agent; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply, for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing, to (i) dispositions of Equipment and other fixed assets which, in the aggregate during any
consecutive twelve-month period, have a fair market value or a net book value, whichever is less, of Cdn. $2,000,000 or the Equivalent thereof or less, provided that all proceeds thereof are remitted to Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as
applicable, for application to the Loans as provided in subsection 3.3.1, (ii) dispositions of Equipment or other fixed assets which are substantially worn, damaged, obsolete or uneconomic, provided that all proceeds thereof are
remitted to Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable, for application to the Loans as provided in subsection 3.3.1, (iii) dispositions of Equipment or other fixed assets during any consecutive twelve-month period, having a fair market
value or a net book value, whichever is less, at any one time outstanding (i.e., without corresponding replacement Equipment having been acquired) of Cdn. $2,000,000 or the Equivalent thereof or less, for the purpose of replacement with Equipment or
other fixed assets of like kind, and like or greater functionability and value which are useful in the business of either Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries, provided that the replacement Equipment or other fixed assets shall be acquired or
committed in writing to be acquired within 90 days after any disposition of the Equipment or other fixed assets 

 

-45- 

	  	 
 that are to be replaced and the replacement Equipment or other fixed assets shall be free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens that
are not Purchase Money Liens, (iv) a disposition of the U.S. Borrower’s real Property located at 1855 Peck Lane, Cheshire, Connecticut, provided that all proceeds thereof are remitted to the U.S. Agent for application to the outstanding
principal balance of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans, (v) dispositions of Equipment or other fixed assets which are owned by any Subsidiary which is a German Person (other than any Restricted Subsidiary), provided that all proceeds thereof

6.5. Payment of Charges. 
 
All amounts chargeable to either Borrower under Section
6 hereof shall be Obligations secured by all of the Collateral, shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest from the date such advance was made until paid in full at the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Canadian Prime
Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, as the case may be.

7.1.7. Title to Properties; Priority of Liens. Each Borrower and each of its

7.1.8. Accounts. Each
Agent may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and representations made by each Borrower with respect to any Account or Accounts. With respect to each Obligor’s Accounts, whether or not such Account is an
Eligible Account, unless otherwise disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing: 
 
(i) It is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be, and it is not evidenced by a judgment; 
 
(ii) It arises out of a completed, or if not
completed, progress-based payment, resulting from a bona fide sale and delivery of goods or rendition of services by such Obligor, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with the terms and conditions of all purchase
orders, contracts or 
 

-48- 

other documents relating thereto and forming a part of the contract between such Obligor
and the Account Debtor; 
 
(iii)
It is for a liquidated amount maturing as stated in the duplicate invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a copy of which has been furnished or is available to Administrative Agent; 
 
(iv) there are no facts, events or
occurrences known to either Borrower, after due inquiry, which in any way impair the validity or enforceability of any Accounts or tend to reduce the amount payable thereunder from the face amount of the invoice and statements delivered or made
available to Administrative Agent with respect thereto; 
 
(v) to the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, the Account Debtor thereunder (1) had the capacity to contract at the time any contract or other document giving rise to the Account was executed and (2) such Account Debtor

(vi) to the
best of such Borrower’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending against the Account Debtor thereunder which could reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in such Account
Debtor’s financial condition or the collectibility of such Account. 
 
7.1.9. Equipment. The material Equipment (including all Eligible Equipment) of each Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is in good operating condition and repair, and all necessary
replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the operating efficiency thereof shall be maintained and preserved, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Neither either Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will permit any material
Equipment (including any Eligible Equipment) to become affixed to any real Property leased to either Borrower or any of either Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries so that an interest arises therein under the real estate laws of the applicable
jurisdiction unless the landlord of such real Property has executed a landlord waiver or leasehold mortgage in favour of and in form reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, and neither Borrower will permit any of its material Equipment
(including any Eligible Equipment) or the material Equipment (including any Eligible Equipment) of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to become an accession to any personal Property other than Equipment that is subject to first priority (except for
Permitted Liens) Liens in favour of Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable. 
 
7.1.10 Financial Statements; Fiscal Year. The Consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of Canadian Borrower
and its Subsidiaries (including the accounts of all Subsidiaries of Borrowers and its respective Subsidiaries for the respective periods during which a Subsidiary relationship existed) as of August 31, 2002 unaudited and audited (as to the
Consolidated statements only) by Deloitte and 
 

-49- 

Touche LLP, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholder’s equity,
and changes in financial position for the periods ended on such dates (which audited financial statements Agents and Lenders acknowledge will not have been provided on the Closing Date), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and present fairly
in all material respects the financial positions of Canadian Borrower and such Persons at such dates and the results of Canadian Borrower’s and such Person’s operations, for such periods. As of the date hereof, since August 31, 2002, there
has been no material adverse change in the financial position of Canadian Borrower and such other Persons, taken as a whole, as reflected in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of such date. As of the date hereof, the fiscal year of Canadian
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries ends on August 31 of each year.

requirement of this Agreement or in the context of the credit facility established herein, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading at the
time delivered or the date thereof, as applicable, and which untruth or omission was known, or should reasonably have been known having regard to the context in which the statement was made, to either Borrower or could reasonably be expected to be
material in the context of the credit facility established herein. There is no known fact which either Borrower has failed to disclose to any Agent or any Lender in writing which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 
7.1.12. Solvent Financial
Condition. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, is now and, after giving effect to the initial Loans to be made and the initial Letters of Credit and LC Guarantees to be issued hereunder and all related transactions, will be, Solvent
(Adjusted). 
 
7.1.13. Surety
Obligations. Except as set forth on Exhibit 7.1.13, as of the date hereof, neither either Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is obligated as guarantor, surety or indemnitor under any guarantee, surety or similar bond or other contract
or has issued or entered into any agreement to assure payment, performance or completion of performance of any undertaking or obligation of any Person. 
 
7.1.14. Taxes. The business number, federal tax identification number or equivalent identification number of each
Borrower and each Subsidiary of each Borrower is shown on Exhibit 7.1.14 hereto. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal, provincial, state and local tax returns and other reports relating to taxes which each are
required by law to file, and have paid, or made adequate provision for, the payment of, all taxes, assessments, fees, levies and other governmental charges upon it, its income and Properties as and when such taxes, assessments, fees, levies and
charges are due and payable, unless and to the extent any thereof are being actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries maintains reasonable

Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries to assemble the Collateral, at such Borrower’s expense, and make it available to such Agent at a place designated by such Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and (ii) enter any premises

-77- 

 
Borrower or
any Subsidiary of either Borrower, such Borrower agrees not to charge, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to charge, such Agent for storage thereof). 
 
10.3.3. The right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any Collateral in its then condition, or after any further
manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may be required by law, in whole or in part, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as such Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. To
the extent permitted by law, each Agent may, at such Agent’s option, disclaim any and all warranties regarding the Collateral in connection with any such sale. Each Borrower agrees that 15 days’ written notice to such Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries of any public or private sale or other disposition of Collateral, or such shorter period as may be permitted by law, shall be commercially reasonable notice thereof, and such sale shall be at such locations as any Agent may
designate in said notice. Each Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on each Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ premises, without charge therefor, and such sales may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with
applicable law. Each Agent shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and each Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may purchase all or any part of the
Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations. The proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral may be applied,
after allowing 2 Business Days for collection, first to the costs, expenses and legal fees incurred by each Agent in collecting the Obligations, in enforcing the rights of Agents and Lenders under the Loan Documents and in collecting, retaking,
completing, protecting, removing, storing, advertising for sale, selling and delivering any Collateral, second to the interest due upon any of the Obligations; and third, to the principal of the Obligations. If any deficiency shall arise, each
Borrower and each Guarantor shall remain jointly and severally liable to Agents and Lenders therefor. 
 
10.3.4. Each Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, each Borrower’s and each of its
Subsidiary’s labels, patents, copyrights, licenses, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, tradenames, trademarks and advertising matter, or any Property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing, advertising for
sale and selling any Collateral and each Borrower’s and each of its Subsidiary’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to each Agent’s benefit. 
 
10.3.5. Administrative Agent may, at its option, require each Borrower to deposit with
Canadian Agent or U.S. Agent, as appropriate, funds equal to the applicable LC Amount and, if such Borrower fails to promptly make such deposit, the applicable Agent may advance such amount as a Revolving Credit Loan (whether or not an Overadvance
is created thereby). Each such Revolving Credit Loan shall be secured by all of the Collateral and shall bear interest as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan, as applicable. Any such deposit or advance shall be held by the applicable Agent
as a reserve to fund future payments on such LC Guarantees and 
 

-78- 

future drawings against such Letters of Credit. At such time as all LC Guarantees have
been paid or terminated and all Letters of Credit have been drawn upon or expired, any amounts remaining in such reserve shall be applied against any outstanding Obligations, or, if all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, returned to
the applicable Borrower as may be permitted by law. 
 
10.4. Set Off 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, during the continuance of any Event of Default each Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized by each Borrower
at any time or from time to time, with prior written consent of Administrative Agent to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (i) balances held by such Agent or Lender at any of its offices for the account of such Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower or its Subsidiaries), and (ii) other property at any time held or owing by such Agent or Lender to or for the credit or for the account of such Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall, to the extent the amount of any such set off exceeds its Revolving Loan Percentage of the amount set off, purchase for cash (and the
other Lenders shall sell) interests in each such other Lender’s pro rata share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan
Percentages. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its pro rata share of the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such excess to
Administrative Agent for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Loan Percentages. 
 
10.5. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. 
 
All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guarantees, indemnities, and other undertakings of each Borrower contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in any document referred to herein or contained in any agreement supplementary hereto or in any schedule or in any Guarantee Agreement given to any Agent or any Lender or contained in any other agreement
between any Lender and either Borrower or between any Agent and either Borrower heretofore, concurrently, or hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or
agreements of each Borrower herein contained. The failure or delay of any Agent or any Lender to require strict performance by either Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers, or remedies
hereunder or under any of the aforesaid agreements or other documents or security or Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such performance, Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such requirements, Liens, rights, powers, and remedies
shall continue in full force and effect until all Loans and other Obligations owing or to become owing from each Borrower to each Agent and each Lender have been fully satisfied and this Agreement has been terminated. None of the undertakings,
agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of either Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Default or Event of Default by either Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be
deemed to have been 
 

-79- 

suspended or waived by Agents or Lenders, unless such suspension or waiver is by an instrument in writing
specifying such suspension or waiver and is signed by a duly authorized representative of Administrative Agent and directed to Borrowers. 
 
SECTION 11. AGENTS 
 
11.1. Authorization and Action. 
 
Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that no Agent shall have by reason of this Agreement assumed
a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and shall not assume, or be deemed to have assumed, any obligation toward, or
relationship of agency or trust with or for, either Borrower. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation enforcement and collection of the Notes), each Agent may, but
shall not be required to, exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders,
whenever such instruction shall be requested by such Agent or required hereunder, or a greater or lesser number of Lenders if so required hereunder, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, that each Agent shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action which exposes such Agent to any liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law, unless such Agent is indemnified to its satisfaction by the other
Lenders against any and all liability and expense which it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. If any Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Majority Lenders (or a greater or lesser number of Lenders as required
in this Agreement), with respect to any action hereunder, such Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender and shall notify each Lender at any time that the Majority Lenders (or such greater or lesser number of Lenders) have instructed such Agent
to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto. 
 
11.2. Each Agent’s Reliance, Etc. 
 
Neither any Agent, any Affiliate of any Agent, nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (i) may treat each Lender party hereto as the holder of Obligations
until such Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer or such Lender’s portion of the Obligations signed by such Lender and in form reasonably satisfactory to such Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel, independent
chartered or public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iii) makes no warranties
or representations to 
 

-80- 

any Lender or other Agent and shall not be responsible to any Lender or other Agent for any recitals,
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty beyond such Agent’s customary practices in respect of loans in which such Agent is the only lender,
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 Loan Documents on the part of either Borrower, to inspect the property (including the books and records) of
either Borrower, to monitor the financial condition of either Borrower or to ascertain the existence or possible existence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default; (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 Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (vi) shall not be liable to any Lender for any action
taken, or inaction, by any Agent upon the instructions of Majority Lenders pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof or refraining to take any action pending such instructions; (vii) shall not be liable for any apportionment or distributions of
payments made by it in good faith pursuant to Section 3 hereof; (viii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, message or other instrument or
writing (which may be by telephone, facsimile, telegram, cable or telex) believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and (ix) may assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
unless such Agent has actual knowledge of the Event of Default, has received notice from either Borrower or either Borrower’s independent chartered or certified public accountants stating the nature of the Event of Default, or has received
notice from a Lender stating the nature of the Event of Default and that such Lender considers the Event of Default to have occurred and to be continuing. In the event any apportionment or distribution described in clause (vii) above is determined
to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Person to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled.

 
11.3. Fleet, Fleet Canada and Affiliates.

 
With respect to its commitment hereunder to make
Loans, each of Fleet and Fleet Canada shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the terms “Lender,”
“Lenders” or “Majority Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include each of Fleet and Fleet Canada in its individual capacity as a Lender. Fleet and Fleet Canada and their respective Affiliates may
lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, each Borrower, and any Person who may do business with or own Securities of each Borrower all as if neither Fleet or Fleet Canada were an Agent and without any duty to account
therefor to any other Lender. 
 
11.4. Lender
Credit Decision. 
 
Each Lender acknowledges that
it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to herein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit 
 

-81- 

analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon any 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. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on an ongoing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other similar information regarding either Borrower. 
 
11.5. Indemnification. 
 
Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by Borrowers), in accordance with their respective Aggregate Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement; 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 such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share, as set forth above, of any out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiation, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan
Document, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by either Borrower. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 11.5 shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. If
after payment and distribution of any amount by any Agent to Lenders, any Lender or any other Person, including either Borrower, any creditor of either Borrower, a liquidator, administrator or trustee in bankruptcy, recovers from such Agent any
amount found to have been wrongfully paid to such Agent or disbursed by such Agent to Lenders, then Lenders, in accordance with their respective Aggregate Percentages, shall reimburse such Agent for all such amounts. 
 
11.6. Rights and Remedies to be Exercised by Agents
Only. 
 
Each Lender agrees that, except as set
forth in Section 10.4, no Lender shall have any right individually (i) to realize upon the security created by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) to
make demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 
11.7. Agency Provisions Relating to Collateral.

person holding the power of attorney for the holders of debentures and other titles of indebtedness for all purposes of Article 2692 of the 
 

-82- 

Civil Code of Quebec. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by each Agent with respect to the
Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by each Agent of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be
authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Each Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents
which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected such Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Agents and Lenders. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize such Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Agreement and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations; or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrowers certify
to Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with subsection 8.2.9 hereof (and Agents may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); or (iii) constituting property in which neither
Borrower owned any interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or (v)
if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Administrative Agent at the direction of all Lenders. Upon request by any Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of
Collateral pursuant hereto. No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by either Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that
the Liens granted to such Agent herein or pursuant to the Security Documents 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 its rights, authorities and powers granted or available to such Agent in this Section 11.7 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being
understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, but consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, including
given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person. For the purposes of any security granted by Canadian Borrower in the Province of
Quebec, each Canadian Lender, by its agreement to become a Canadian Lender, shall be deemed to have agreed to and ratified the following: (a) that notwithstanding any law to the contrary, including without limitation article 32 of an Act Respecting
The Special Powers of Legal Persons (Québec), Canadian Agent may, as the person holding the power of attorney of Canadian Lenders (both present and future), acquire, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Canadian Lenders (both present
and future), debentures or other titles of indebtedness issued by Canadian Borrower, even though Canadian Agent has been appointed as Fondé de Pouvoir for the Debentureholder under the Deed of Hypothec, and (b) if any of the above-mentioned
debentures or other titles of indebtedness are pledged in favour of Canadian Agent, it shall hold same as agent for the benefit of all Canadian Lenders (both present and future), the whole without any writing or other formality being required on the
part of Canadian Agent, Canadian Borrower or any of the Canadian Lenders. 
 
 

-83-

Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Obligations, for the face amount of the outstanding Obligations owed to such Lender, including without limitation all accrued and unpaid interest and fees.

Administrative Agent, and, in the absence of an Event of Default, each Borrower, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld and (viii) all amounts payable by each Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if the originating Lender had not
sold any such participation. 
 
11.9.3. Certain Agreements of Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that (i) it will use its best efforts to assist and cooperate with each Lender in any manner requested by such Lender, acting reasonably, to effect the sale of

11.10. Amendment.

 
No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation any Note), nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Majority Lenders and both Borrowers,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective, unless (i) in writing and signed by each Lender,
do any of the following: (1) increase the aggregate Loan Commitments, or any Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, (2) reduce the principal of, or interest on, any amount payable hereunder or under any Note,
other than those payable only to Fleet or Fleet Canada in its capacity as an Agent, which may be reduced by such Person unilaterally, (3) decrease any interest rate payable hereunder, (4) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
interest on, any amounts payable hereunder or under any Note, other than those payable only to Fleet or Fleet Canada in its capacity as an Agent, which may be postponed by such Person unilaterally, (5) increase any advance percentage contained in
the definition of the terms Canadian Borrowing Base or U.S. Borrowing Base, (6) reduce the number of Lenders that shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, (7) release or discharge any Person liable for the
performance of any obligations of either Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents except in accordance with the terms hereof, (8) amend any provision of this 
 

-85- 

Agreement that requires the consent of all Lenders or consent to or waive any breach thereof, (9) amend
the definition of the term “Majority Lenders”, (10) amend this Section 11.10 or (11) release any substantial portion of the Collateral, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 11.7 hereof; or (ii) in writing and signed
by the applicable Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to affect the rights or duties of such Agent under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document. If a fee is to be paid by Borrower in connection with any waiver or amendment
hereunder, the agreement evidencing such amendment or waiver may, at the discretion of Administrative Agent (but shall not be required to), provide that only Lenders executing such agreement by a specified date may share in such fee (and in such
case, such fee shall be divided among the applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis without including the interests of any Lenders who have not timely executed such agreement). 
 
11.11. Resignation of Agents; Appointment of Successor. 
 
Any Agent may resign as such by giving not less than thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice to Lenders and Borrowers. If any Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then, (i) subject to the consent of Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which consent shall not be required
during any period in which an Event of Default exists or if the successor Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent is an Affiliate of Fleet Canada or Fleet), Majority Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders or (ii) if a
successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following applicable such Agent’s notice to Lenders and Borrowers of its resignation, then Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor agent who shall
serve as the applicable Agent until such time as Majority Lenders appoint a successor agent, subject to Borrowers’ consent as set forth above. Upon its appointment, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
Agent which it is replacing and the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Canadian Agent”, “U.S. Agent” and “Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor effective upon its
appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the resignation of any Agent
hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to the benefit of such former Agent and such former Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not taken by it while
it was an Agent under this Agreement. Fleet Canada agrees that upon any transfer of its interests hereunder to an Affiliate of Fleet Canada or Fleet, it shall simultaneously resign as Canadian Agent in favour of such assignee. 
 
11.12. Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by
Lenders. 
 
By signing this Agreement, each
Lender: 
 
(i) is deemed to have
requested that Administrative Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or on behalf of
Administrative Agent; 
 

-86- 

(ii) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Administrative Agent (i) does
not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; 
 
(iii) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Administrative
Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrower and will rely significantly upon each Borrower’s books and records, as well as on representations of each Borrower’s
personnel; 
 
(iv) agrees to keep
all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any Report in any other manner, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.14; and 
 
(v) without limiting the generality of any
other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold each Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or
draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to each Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a
loan or loans of each Borrower; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold each Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other
amounts (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by each Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

Borrower pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon from and after the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance outstanding consisting of a Canadian Revolving Credit Loan made by each
Canadian Lender to Canadian Borrower at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate or the Canadian BA Rate for the corresponding Interest Period, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin. 
 
All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise
specifically defined in this Note, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan and Security Agreement and all section and subsection references in underlined text shall refer to the corresponding section of the Loan and Security Agreement.

 
This Note is a Canadian Revolving Credit Loan
Note referred to in, and is issued pursuant to, the Loan and Security Agreement. This Note is entitled to all of the benefits and security of the Loan and Security Agreement and is subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan
and Security Agreement. The indebtedness, liabilities and obligations evidenced by this Note constitutes “Designated Senior Debt”, as that term is defined in the Subordinated Notes Trust Indenture (as defined in the Loan and Security
Agreement). 
 
All payments and repayments of
amounts owing hereunder shall be made in the same currency as the currency of the advance made by the Canadian Lenders and evidenced by this Note. 
 
For so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred in consequence of which Administrative Agent or Majority Lenders elect to
accelerate the maturity and payment of the Obligations, the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, this Note shall be due and payable on the dates and in the manner hereinafter set forth: 
 
(a) interest on the Canadian Revolving Credit Loan evidenced
by this Note and based on the Canadian Prime Rate shall be due and payable monthly on each Interest 
 

Exhibit 1.1.1 - Page 1 

 
Payment Date
and continue until such time as the full principal balance of such Canadian Prime Rate Loan is paid in full or converted into a Canadian BA Rate Loan pursuant to subsection 3.1.8 (and all interest accruing prior to such conversion shall be
calculated using the Canadian Prime Rate then in effect and such accrued interest shall be due and payable at the next Interest Payment Date, along with any other interest which may be due and payable); 
 
(b) interest on the Canadian Revolving Credit Loan evidenced
by this Note and based on Canadian BA Rate shall be due and payable monthly on each Interest Payment Date and continue until such time as the full principal balance of such Canadian BA Rate Loan is paid in full or converted into a Canadian Prime
Rate Loan pursuant to subsection 3.1.9 or subsection 3.1.13 (and all interest accruing prior to such conversion shall be calculated using the Canadian BA Rate then in effect and such accrued interest shall be due and payable at the

(c) the entire outstanding principal amount existing at the end of the Term, together with accrued interest and any and all other amounts due hereunder, shall be due and payable at the end of the Term.

 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid

Agreement. 
 
Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Canadian Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies set forth in Section 10 of the Loan and Security Agreement.

representatives, successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of non-payment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection,
and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws except for notices expressly provided for in the Loan and Security Agreement. 
 
Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but
if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of
this Note. No delay or failure on the part of Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise
by Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender of any right or remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Canadian Agent, at 
 

Exhibit 1.1.1 - Page 2 

 
its option, may enforce its
rights against any collateral securing this Note without enforcing its rights against Canadian Borrower, any guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any other property or indebtedness due or to become due to any Canadian Lender. Canadian

at any time release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. 
 
This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada
applicable in such Province. Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably attorns to and accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.

each Canadian Lender is relying on such representation, warranty and covenant in making its advance of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loan evidenced by this Note, that the entire proceeds of this Note is being, and will be, used in accordance with

thereon from and after the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance outstanding consisting of a U.S. Closing Date Term Loan made by each U.S. Lender to U.S. Borrower at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate or the LIBOR for the
corresponding Interest Period, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin. 
 
All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise specifically defined in this Note, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan and Security Agreement and all section and subsection
references in underlined text shall refer to the corresponding section of the Loan and Security Agreement.

entitled to all of the benefits and security of the Loan and Security Agreement and is subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan and Security Agreement. The indebtedness, liabilities and obligations evidenced by this Note
constitutes “Designated Senior Debt”, as that term is defined in the Subordinated Notes Trust Indenture (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement). 
 
All payments and repayments of amounts owing hereunder shall be made in the same currency as the currency of
the advance made by the U.S. Lenders and evidenced by this Note. 
 
For so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred in consequence of which Administrative Agent or Majority Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity and payment of the Obligations, the principal amount of, and accrued interest
on, this Note shall be due and payable on the dates and in the manner hereinafter set forth: 
 
(a) interest on the U.S. Closing Date Term Loan evidenced by this Note and based on the Base Rate shall be due and payable monthly on each Interest Payment Date and continue until such time as the full
principal balance of such Base Rate Loan is paid in full or converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to subsection 3.1.11 (and all interest accruing prior to such conversion shall be calculated using the Base Rate then 
 

Exhibit 1.3.1 - Page 1 

 
in effect and
such accrued interest shall added to the next Interest Payment Date, along with any other interest which may be due and payable); 
 
(b) interest on the U.S. Closing Date Term Loan evidenced by this Note and based on LIBOR shall be due and payable monthly on each
Interest Payment Date and continue until such time as the full principal balance of such LIBOR Loan is paid in full or converted into a Base Rate Loan pursuant to subsection 3.1.12 or subsection 3.1.13 (and all interest accruing prior
to such conversion shall be calculated using LIBOR then in effect and such accrued interest shall be due and payable at the next Interest Payment Date, along with any other interest which may be due and payable); 
 
(c) subject to paragraph (d) immediately following, principal
payments shall be made on a quarterly basis, each in the amount of U.S.$68,035.86, with the first quarterly installment due and payable on January 1, 2003 and each other principal payment due and payable on the first day of each calendar quarter

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, U.S. Agent shall

Time is of the essence of this Note. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, U.S. Borrower, for itself and its legal
representatives, successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of non-payment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection,
and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws except for notices expressly provided for in the Loan and Security Agreement. 
 
Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but
if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of
