Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars. Each Term Lender’s obligation in respect of the Term Credit shall be limited to its respective Applicable Percentage of the Term Credit. 

 

	(5)	 At the option of the Borrower, the Revolving Credit (excluding the Swingline Credit) and Term Credit may be
used by: 

  

	 	(a)	 requesting the Revolving Lenders or Term Lenders (as applicable) to make Prime Rate Advances, Base Rate
Advances and/or LIBOR Advances; and/or 

  

	 	(b)	 presenting orders to the Revolving Lenders or Term Lenders (as applicable) for acceptance as B/As.

  

	(6)	 Each Advance under the Swingline Credit shall be made in accordance with Section 9.6(2), and the
Swingline Credit may be used by the Swingline Lender to cover any overdrafts incurred by the Borrower. 

  

	2.2	 Re-borrowing 

 

	(1)	 The Revolving Credit (including the Swingline Credit) is a revolving credit and the principal amount of any
Advance under the Revolving Credit that is repaid may be re-borrowed, if the Borrower is otherwise entitled to an Advance under the Revolving Credit. 

 

	(2)	 The Term Credit is a non-revolving credit and the principal amount
of any Advance under the Term Credit that is repaid may not be re-borrowed. 

  

	2.3	 Use of the Credits 

 

	(1)	 Advances under the Revolving Credit (including the Swingline Credit) may be used for general corporate
purposes including refinancing existing indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement, earn-outs (including the GAA Earn-Out, up to a maximum amount of US $15,000,000), and to assist with financing
Permitted Acquisitions of the Borrower as set out in this Credit Agreement. 

  

	(2)	 Advances under the Term Credit may be used for refinancing existing indebtedness under the Existing Credit
Agreement and repaying the Norrep Debt in full. 

  

	(3)	 The Borrower will not request any advance under the Credits, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not
use, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents will not use, the proceeds of any advance under the Revolving Credit (a) in the furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or

  
 33 

	 	 
giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or
transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, to the extent such activities, businesses or transaction would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by a corporation incorporated in the United States or in a European
Union member state or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto. 

  

	2.4	 Term and Repayment 

 

	(1)	 Interest under the Credits is payable monthly at the applicable rates set out in the Applicable Rate Table.

  

	(2)	 The Term Credit shall be repaid and permanently reduced by the Borrower in quarterly instalments of 2.5% of
the initial principal amount, with a balloon payment to be made on the Maturity Date. 

  

	(3)	 In any event, all of the Credits shall be paid in full by the Borrower and cancelled on the Maturity Date.

  

	2.5	 Interest Rates and Fees 

 

	(1)	 Interest rates on Prime Rate Advances, Base Rate Advances and LIBOR Advances and the rates for calculation
of B/A Fees and standby fees shall be determined and adjusted based on the Total Funded Debt Ratio as set out in the Applicable Rate Table and all figures in the Applicable Rate Table represent per cent per annum. Each of the amounts specified in
the Applicable Rate Table, except the standby fee, shall be increased by 2% per annum if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but the increased amounts shall not be secured by any mortgage of real property or hypothec on immovables
forming part of the Security to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law. If an Event of Default is disclosed by a Compliance Certificate, any increase shall be applied beginning as of the end of the fiscal period to which the Compliance Certificate
relates. 

  

	(2)	 Any increase or decrease in the interest rates and fees resulting from a change in the Total Funded Debt
Ratio shall be effective as of the 45th day after the end of each of the Borrower’s fiscal quarters, except (a) that if a Compliance Certificate for a fiscal quarter is delivered late, any resulting decrease shall be effective only as of
the date that a satisfactory Compliance Certificate is actually received by the Agent, or (b) if a Permitted Acquisition is completed that is funded, in whole or in part, from the Credits and that would result in a change to the Total Funded
Debt Ratio that would increase the interest rates and fees payable hereunder, such increase shall, upon notice to the Borrower by the Agent, acting reasonably in its sole discretion, be effective on the date the Permitted Acquisition completes.
Interest and fees shall initially be established based on the Compliance Certificate delivered under Section 6.3(1)(d). B/A Fees paid before the effective date of an increase or decrease will not be adjusted. If the Borrower becomes entitled to
a pro rata refund of B/A Fees paid before the effective date of a decrease, the 

  
 34 

	 	 
refund will be paid as a credit against the next interest or fee payment by the Borrower rather than being disbursed by the Lenders. 

 

	(3)	 Interest shall accrue and be payable on Prime Rate Advances and Base Rate Advances at the Prime Rate or the
Base Rate, respectively, plus the relevant figure shown under “Prime Rate and Base Rate Advances” in the Applicable Rate Table. Interest shall accrue and be payable on LIBOR Advances at LIBOR plus the relevant figure shown under “B/A
and LIBOR Advances” in the Applicable Rate Table. The rate for calculation of B/A Fees shall be the relevant figure shown under “B/A and LIBOR Advances” in the Applicable Rate Table. 

 

	(4)	 The Borrower shall pay interest and fees at the applicable rate specified in the Applicable Rate Table to
the Agent at the Branch of Account on Advances outstanding from time to time, except that the B/A Fee for any B/A shall be paid by each Lender deducting the B/A Fee from the proceeds of the B/A remitted to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.9(2).
The Borrower shall pay interest on Prime Rate Advances and Base Rate Advances on the 22nd day of each month. The Borrower shall pay interest on each LIBOR Advance on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period and, if the LIBOR Period is longer than
three months, every three months after the date of the relevant LIBOR Advance. 

  

	(5)	 The Borrower shall pay a standby fee on the daily unadvanced portions of the Revolving Credit at a rate that
shall be adjusted based on the Total Funded Debt Ratio and that shall be as specified under “Standby Fee” in Applicable Rate Table. The standby fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the tenth Banking Day after the end of each month,
with the first payment to be made on July 17, 2017. On termination of all Commitments under the Credits, the Borrower shall also pay any accrued but unpaid standby fees. 

 

	(6)	 The Agent shall distribute interest and fees for the Revolving Credit to the Revolving Lenders based on
their respective Applicable Percentages. Subject to Section 9.2, interest and standby fees for the Swingline Credit shall be paid by the Borrower to the Swingline Lender for its own account. The Agent shall distribute interest and fees for the
Term Credit to the Term Lenders based on their respective Applicable Percentages. 

  

	2.6	 Other Fees 

The Borrower shall pay to the Lead Arranger, the Agent and the Lenders all fees payable under the Fee Letter on the closing of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  

	2.7	 Exchange Rate Fluctuations 

If fluctuations in Exchange Rates cause the amount of Advances (expressed in US Dollars) under a Credit to exceed the maximum
amount of that Credit permitted in this Agreement by two percent or more at any time, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Lenders the amount by which the maximum amount of that Credit is exceeded. If the Borrower is unable to immediately pay any
amount under this Section because LIBOR Periods have not ended or B/As have not matured, the Borrower shall immediately post Cash Collateral with the Agent in the amount of the excess, and that Cash Collateral shall form part of the Security and be
held until the excess no longer exists. If, on the date of 

  
 35 

 
any Advance under a Credit (whether by rollover, renewal, conversion or otherwise), the amount of Advances (expressed in Canadian Dollars) under that Credit exceeds the maximum amount of that
Credit because of fluctuations in Exchange Rates, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Lenders the excess and shall not be entitled to any Advance that would result in the amount of that Credit being exceeded.

	(2)	 Subject to Section 3.1(3), if at any time the Borrower owns, establishes or acquires Control of a
Subsidiary directly or indirectly (and that is not a JV Subsidiary acquired pursuant to or established or created in connection with a Permitted Acquisition), the Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days of the establishment or acquisition

	(4)	 Each Obligor shall, immediately on receipt, deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders,

	 	(a)	 concurrently with the execution of any document forming part of the Security, arrange to register, file or

6.4(14), arrange to renew or amend existing registrations, filings and recordings and make additional registrations, filings and recordings and take other actions as are necessary or desirable to maintain the Security as valid and effective security
with the priority required by this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(c)	 cause documents, including title insurance policies, opinions of counsel and other supporting documents
satisfactory to the Agent, to be delivered to the Agent evidencing the action taken and confirming that the provisions of this Section 3.1 have been complied with. 

 

	(6)	 Nothing in this Section 3.1 that contemplates the Obligors owning, establishing, acquiring or
transferring Property, Equity Interests or Subsidiaries shall in any way modify any restriction on doing so elsewhere in this Agreement. 

  

	3.2	 Obligations Secured by the Security 

 

	(1)	 Unless otherwise agreed by the Lenders among themselves, the documents constituting the Security shall
secure the following obligations pari passu with each other: 

  

	 	(a)	 the Obligations; 

  
 38 

	 	(b)	 the present and future debts, liabilities and obligations of the Obligors to any Lender or Affiliate of a
Lender, other than Excluded Swap Obligations, (collectively, the “Other Secured Obligations”) (i) that are described in Schedule J, (ii) that arise under or in connection with Derivatives that are permitted under this
Agreement, or (iii) that arise under or in connection with other transactions not made under this Agreement if it is agreed by the Borrower and the Agent acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders that those debts, liabilities and
obligations shall be secured. 

  

	(2)	 The Parties confirm it is their intention that Affiliates of Lenders to whom Other Secured Obligations are
owed shall benefit from the Security in accordance with this Section 3.2, notwithstanding that the Affiliates are not Parties. The Agent shall act as agent for those Affiliates as well as the Lenders in holding the Security and it is understood
that the Lenders’ decisions concerning the Security referred to in Section 3.2(6) may reflect the interests of their respective Affiliates. In addition, the Obligors constitute the Lenders as trustees of the benefits of the Security for
their respective Affiliates and the Lenders accept that trust. 

  

	(3)	 If Applicable Law restricts any particular document forming part of the Security from securing all of the
obligations described in Section 3.2(1) and the Lenders accept the document subject to that restriction, any proceeds of realization of that document shall be distributed in payment of the obligations that are secured, and proceeds of
realization of other Security shall be distributed disproportionately as necessary to adjust for proceeds that would have been distributed to Lenders and holders of Other Secured Obligations but for the restriction. If compliance with Applicable Law
results in any particular document forming part of the Security being expressed to secure obligations in addition to those described in Section 3.2(1), the Lenders and holders of Other Secured Obligations shall nevertheless only be entitled to
claim and recover the obligations described in Section 3.2(1) from any realization of that Security. 

  

	(4)	 As of the date of this Agreement, the Other Secured Obligations are those listed in Schedule J. If
applicable, the Borrower shall include in each Compliance Certificate a revised Schedule J to reflect any changes in the Other Secured Obligations from Schedule J to this Agreement or any subsequent revision to Schedule J delivered pursuant to any
Compliance Certificate. Neither the failure of the Borrower to update Schedule J nor any error contained in Schedule J shall affect the security for the Other Secured Obligations if it has been agreed in accordance with this Section 3.2 that
they shall be secured by the Security. 

  

	(5)	 Other Secured Obligations listed on Schedule J, and (subject to Section 3.2(4)) any revision of it from
time to time, shall be conclusively deemed to be secured by the Security (in the absence of manifest error) and shall not cease to be secured without the prior written consent of the respective Lenders to whom, or to whose Affiliates, the Other
Secured Obligations are owed, except if the applicable Lender ceases to be a Lender by reason of assigning all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or having the Obligations owing to it paid in full as a
Non-Consenting Lender. If all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and all Commitments have been cancelled, the Borrower 

  
 39 

	 	 
may, and shall if requested by any Lender or Affiliate holding Other Secured Obligations, deliver Cash Collateral to secure the Other Secured Obligations, in an amount and form satisfactory to
the respective Lenders and Affiliates to whom Other Secured Obligations are owed, acting reasonably, following which the respective Lenders and Affiliates shall release their interest in the Security. 

 

	(6)	 Notwithstanding the rights of Lenders and Affiliates to benefit from the Security in respect of the Other
Secured Obligations, all decisions concerning the Security and its enforcement shall be made by the Lenders or the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement and no Lender or Affiliate to whom Other Secured Obligations are owed from time to
time shall have any additional right to influence the Security or the enforcement of the Security as a result of holding Other Secured Obligations as long as this Agreement remains in force. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement because
of payment of the Credits, or for any other reason, the Other Secured Obligations shall continue to be secured by the Security, except as expressly provided in Section 3.2(5). After the termination of this Agreement, decisions concerning the
Security shall be made by those to whom Other Secured Obligations are owed as they may determine among themselves. 

  

	(7)	 In the event that any Security is required on real property located in the United States of America, the
Borrower shall deliver a flood hazard determination certificate showing whether such real property is located in an area designated as a “special flood hazard area” by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. If any such real property is
located in a special flood hazard area, then the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent and each Lender evidence of flood insurance in an amount reasonably determined by the Agent (together with such endorsements as the Agent or a Lender may require),
and shall comply with the additional requirements of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.

Intragroup Obligations, in which case those Intragroup Obligations shall be paid to the Agent or as it directs free of any set off, counterclaim, defence or other right that the Obligors, or any of them, owing Intragroup Obligations may assert
against the Obligors, or any of them, to whom Intragroup Obligations are owed.

	 	(j)	 any Lien purported to be created by the Security ceases to be, or is claimed by any Obligor or any other

reorganization, compromise, arrangement, adjustment, protection, moratorium, relief, stay of proceedings of creditors, composition of it or its debts or any other similar relief; 

 

	 	(m)	 an Obligor or any other Person providing Security applies for the appointment of, or the taking of

 69 

	 	(n)	 any petition is filed, application made or other proceeding instituted against or in respect of any Obligor

	 	(s)	 a default by an Obligor or any other party to any Material Contract occurs, or any other event occurs under
any Material Contract, and continues without being waived after any applicable grace period specified in the Material Contract, if the effect of the default or other event (if not waived) is to terminate, or permit the termination of, the Material

	 	(y)	 A reportable event (consisting of any of the events set forth in Section 4043(b) of ERISA) shall occur
which Agent, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine constitutes grounds for the termination by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation of any U.S. Plan or the appointment by the appropriate United States district court of a trustee for any
U.S. Plan, or if any U.S. Plan shall be terminated or any such trustee shall be requested or appointed, or if the Borrower or any other Obligor is in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a
U.S. Multiemployer Plan resulting from the Borrower’s, or such other Obligor’s complete or partial withdrawal from such U.S. Multiemployer Plan that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

 

	7.2	 Acceleration and Termination of Rights 

 

	(1)	 If any Event of Default occurs, the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make Advances and the
Agent, on the instructions of the Required Lenders, may give notice to the Borrower (a) declaring the Lenders’ obligations to make Advances to be terminated, in which case they shall terminate immediately, and/or (b) declaring the
Obligations or any of them to be due and payable, in which case they shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower. 

 

	(2)	 Notwithstanding Section 7.2(1), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in Sections 7.1(1), 7.1(m)
or 7.1(n), then without prejudice to the other rights of the Lenders, without any notice or action of any kind by the Agent or the Lenders, and without presentment, demand or protest, the Lenders’ obligation to make Advances shall immediately
terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable. 

  

	7.3	 Payment of B/As 

 

	(1)	 Immediately upon any Obligations becoming due and payable under Section 7.2, the Borrower shall,
without necessity of further act or evidence, be unconditionally obligated 

  
 71 

	 	 
to immediately deposit with the Agent for the Lenders’ benefit Cash Collateral equal to the full face amount of all B/As then outstanding for its account and the Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises and agrees to do so. The amounts required to be deposited as Cash Collateral form part of the Security. The Borrower authorizes the Lenders, or any of them, to debit its accounts with the amount required to pay outstanding
B/As including any that are held by the Lenders, or any of them, in their own right at maturity. Amounts paid to the Agent in respect of B/As shall be applied against, and shall reduce, pro rata among the Lenders, to the extent of the amounts
paid to the Agent in respect of B/As, the obligations of the Borrower to pay amounts then or subsequently payable under B/As, at the times amounts become payable. 

 

	7.4	 Remedies 

On the occurrence of any event by which any of the Obligations become due and payable under Section 7.2, the Required
Lenders may instruct the Agent to take any action or proceedings on behalf of the Lenders and in compliance with Applicable Law that the Required Lenders in their sole discretion deem expedient to enforce the Security, all without any additional
notice, presentment, demand, protest or other formality, all of which are expressly waived by the Obligors. 
  

	7.5	 Interest After Stay of Proceedings 

If a stay of proceedings is obtained or ordered in respect of the Borrower under the provisions of the Bankruptcy and
Insolvency Act (Canada) or the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), then without prejudice to the Lenders’ rights to contest the stay, the Borrower agrees to continue to pay interest and fees on all amounts due to the
Lenders in accordance with this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that permitting the Borrower to continue to use the proceeds of Advances after a stay is obtained or ordered constitutes valuable consideration in the same way that permitting the
Borrower to use leased premises constitutes valuable consideration. 
  

	7.6	 Saving 

Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to the Obligors or any other Person to realize any collateral
that is subject to the Security or enforce all or any part of the Security or to allow any of the collateral to be sold, dealt with or otherwise disposed of. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible or liable to the Obligors or any
other Person for any loss or damage upon the realization or enforcement of, the failure to realize or enforce the Security or any part of it, the failure to allow any of the collateral to be sold, dealt with or otherwise disposed of or any act or
omission on their respective parts or on the part of any director, officer, agent, servant or adviser in connection with any of the foregoing, except that the Agent or a Lender may be responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from its
wilful misconduct or gross negligence. 

  
 72 

	7.7	 Perform Obligations 

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if any Obligor has failed to perform any of its covenants or
agreements in the Loan Documents, the Required Lenders may, but shall be under no obligation to, instruct the Agent on behalf of the Lenders to perform any of those covenants or agreements in any manner deemed fit by the Required Lenders without
waiving any rights to enforce the Loan Documents as a result. The reasonable expenses (including any legal costs) paid by the Agent and/or the Lenders in respect of the foregoing shall be secured by the Security. 

 

	7.8	 Third Parties 

No Person dealing with any Lender, the Agent or any other Representative of the Lenders is required to determine
(a) whether the Security has become enforceable, the powers that the Lenders, the Agent or the other Representative are purporting to exercise have become exercisable, or any Obligations remain outstanding, (b) as to the necessity or
expediency of the stipulations and conditions subject to which any sale shall be made, (c) otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of any sale or other disposition or any other dealing with the collateral charged by the Security or any part
of it, or (d) how any payment to the Lenders, the Agent or any other Representative has been or will be applied. Any Person who acquires collateral charged by the Security from the Lenders, the Agent or any other Representative in good faith
will acquire it free from any interest of the Obligors. 
  

	7.9	 Power of Attorney 

Effective upon occurrence of an Event of Default, each Obligor irrevocably constitutes and appoints any Vice-President,
Managing Director or more senior officer of the Agent its due and lawful attorney with full power of substitution in its name and on its behalf, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to enforce any right, title or interest of the Lenders
in, to or under all or any part of the Security or any obligation to that Obligor or remedy available to that Obligor. This appointment is irrevocable to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. 

 

	7.10	 Remedies Cumulative 

The rights and remedies of the Lenders under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution
for any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law. Any single or partial exercise by the Lenders of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any agreement, term, covenant or condition in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
or to alter, affect, or prejudice any other right or remedy or other rights or remedies to which the Lenders may be lawfully entitled for the same default or breach. Any waiver by the Lenders of the strict observance, performance or compliance with
any agreement, term, covenant or condition in this Agreement and any indulgence granted by the Lenders shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any subsequent default. 

  
 73 

	7.11	 Set-Off or Compensation 

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is authorized at any time and
from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by that Lender or any of its
Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the Obligations to that Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although the
obligations of the Obligor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Lender different from the branch or office holding the deposit or obligated to an Obligor. If a Defaulting Lender or its Affiliate exercises any such
right of set off, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.10 and, pending payment, shall be segregated by the Defaulting Lender or its
Affiliate from its other funds and deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall promptly provide the Agent with a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to
the Defaulting Lender as to which the right of set off was exercised. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
set-off, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that the Lenders or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such set-off and application, but the failure to give notice shall not affect the validity of the set-off and application. If any Affiliate of a Lender exercises any rights under
this Section 7.11, it shall share the benefit received in accordance with Section 7.12 as if the benefit had been received by the Lender of which it is an Affiliate. 

 

	7.12	 Direct Payments 

(1) If any Lender, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains any payment
or other reduction that might result in that Lender receiving payment or other reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest on them or other Obligations and Other Secured Obligations greater than its pro
rata share of them as provided in this Agreement, then the Lender receiving the payment or other reduction shall (x) notify the Agent of that fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and other
Obligations and Other Secured Obligations owing to the other Lenders, or make other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all those payments shall be shared by the Lenders and others to whom Other Secured Obligations are owed
rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations and Other Secured Obligations owing to them, provided that: 
  

	 	(a)	 if any participation is purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise to it is recovered, the
participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of the recovery, without interest; 

  

	 	(b)	 the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by any Obligor
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this 

  
 74 

	 	 
Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to any Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply); and 

 

	 	(c)	 the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment (including a payment
in respect of Other Secured Obligations) made while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of obligations of the Borrower to a Lender that do not arise under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (ii) any payment made
in respect of an obligation that is secured by a Permitted Lien (other than the Security) or that is otherwise entitled to priority over the Borrower’s obligations under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (iii) any reduction arising
from an amount owing to an Obligor upon the termination of Derivatives entered into between the Obligor and a Lender except for a net amount available after the termination of all Derivatives entered into between the Obligors and that Lender and the
set-off of resulting amounts owing by the Obligors and to the Obligors, or (iv) any payment to which a Lender is entitled as a result of any form of credit protection obtained by that Lender.

  

	(2)	 The Obligors consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under Applicable
Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Obligor rights of set-off and counterclaim and similar rights of Lenders with respect to that
participation as fully as if the Lender were a direct creditor of each Obligor in the amount of the participation. 

ARTICLE 8 
 THE AGENT AND
THE LENDERS 
  

	8.1	 Authorization of Agent 

 

	(1)	 Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Scotiabank as the Agent to act on its behalf as the Agent
under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take the actions on its behalf and to exercise the powers that are delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with actions and powers that are reasonably incidental to
them. The use of the term “agent” in any Loan Document with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligation arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, the term is
used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 

  

	(2)	 Without limiting Section 8.1(1), each Lender grants to the Agent: 

 

	 	(a)	 a power of attorney for the purposes of Applicable Laws in respect of the Security, to sign documents
comprising the Security from time to time as the party accepting the grant of the Security; and 

  
 75 

	 	(b)	 the right to delegate its authority as attorney to any other Person, whether or not an officer or employee
of the Agent. 

  

	(3)	 Without limiting the powers of the Agent under this Agreement and the Security, each Lender and the Agent
acknowledges and agrees that the Agent shall, for the purposes of holding any security granted under the Security pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec to secure payment of bonds or any similar instruments (collectively, the
“Bonds”), be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir), within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, for all present and future Lenders as well as holders and
depositaries of the Bonds. Each Lender constitutes, to the extent necessary, the Agent as the holder of the irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) in order to hold security granted under the Security in the Province of Quebec
to secure payment of the Bonds. Each successor Lender and successor to the Agent shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Agent as the holder of the irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir).
Furthermore, the Agent agrees to act in the capacity of the holder and depositary of the Bonds for the benefit of all present and future Lenders. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the Special Powers of Legal Persons Act
(Québec), the Agent may acquire and be the holder of a Bond. The Borrower and each Obligor acknowledges that any Bond executed by it constitutes a title of indebtedness as that term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of
Québec. Notwithstanding Section 11.3, the provisions of this Section 8.1(3) shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Québec and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Québec. 

 

	8.2	 Rights as a Lender 

The Person serving as the Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent in its individual
capacity. That Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor as if
the Person were not the Agent and without any duty to account to the Lenders. 
  

	8.3	 Exculpatory Provisions 

 

	(1)	 The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly specified in the Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: 

  

	 	(a)	 shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred
and is continuing; 

  

	 	(b)	 shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or another number or percentage of the Lenders that is expressly provided for in the
Loan Documents), but the Agent 

  
 76 

	 	 
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law; and

  

	 	(c)	 shall not, except as expressly specified in the Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

 

	(2)	 The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or another number or percentage of the Lenders that is necessary, or that the Agent believes in good faith is necessary, under the provisions of the Loan Documents) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing the Default is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. 

 

	(3)	 Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, the Agent shall not be responsible for or have
any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered under or in connection with any
Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of
any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

  

	8.4	 Reliance by Agent 

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper
Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying on it. In determining compliance with any condition to the
making of an Advance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that the condition is satisfactory to the Lender unless the Agent has received notice to the contrary from the Lender before the making
of the Advance. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with their
advice. 

  
 77 

	8.5	 Delegation of Duties 

The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under any Loan Document by or through any
one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent from among the Lenders (including the Person serving as Agent) and their respective Affiliates. The Agent and any sub-agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The provisions of this Article and other provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Agent shall apply to any sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credits as well
as activities as Agent. 
  

	8.6	 Administration of the Credits 

 

	(1)	 Any reference in this Agreement to the Agent means, where the Agent is also a Lender, the agency department
of that Lender specifically responsible for acting as Agent under and in connection with this Agreement. In acting as Agent, the agency department will be treated as a separate entity from any other department or division of the Lender in question.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of a document or information received by any other department or division of that Lender, nor will that Lender be deemed to have notice of a document or information
received by the Agent. 

  

	(2)	 Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the Agent shall perform the following duties:

  

	 	(a)	 Subject to Section 8.4, the Agent shall ensure that all conditions precedent to any Advance have been
fulfilled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, unless waived in accordance with this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	 The Agent shall take delivery of each Lender’s share of an Advance and disburse all Advances in
accordance with Article 9. 

  

	 	(c)	 The Agent shall use reasonable efforts to promptly collect all sums due and payable by the Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement and shall remit all payments to the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	 The Agent shall hold the Security and all other Loan Documents on behalf of the Lenders, maintain records
showing all Advances made by the Lenders, all payments made by the Borrower to the Agent, all remittances made by the Agent to the Lenders and all fees and other sums received by the Agent and, allow each Lender and its advisors to examine those
records and documents at its own expense. The Agent shall provide each Lender with copies of this Agreement, the Security and other Loan Documents in customary record books and/or CD’s, which shall be provided at the expense of the Borrower.
Otherwise, the Agent shall provide any Lender, upon reasonable notice and at the Lender’s expense, with copies of records and documents held by the Agent in connection with this Agreement that the Lender may reasonably require from time to
time. 

  
 78 

	 	(e)	 The Agent shall, promptly following receipt of any written notice or other written communication from an
Obligor pursuant to this Agreement, deliver that notice or other communication to each Lender. 

  

	 	(f)	 The Agent shall promptly forward to each Lender, on request, an up-to-date loan status report. 

  

	 	(g)	 The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender on learning of the occurrence of a Default or the occurrence of
any event or circumstance that would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Agent shall have no other duty or obligation whatsoever to provide any notice to the Lenders concerning the creditworthiness of any Obligor. Each Lender shall notify the Agent
of any Default of which it becomes aware. 

  

	(3)	 The Agent may, notwithstanding and without limiting Section 3.1(5), take all necessary steps to comply
with registration requirements so that the Security remains perfected under Applicable Laws, but each Lender shall notify the Agent of any circumstance that might affect the perfection of the Security of which the Lender becomes aware.

  

	(4)	 The Agent may take the following actions only with the prior consent of the Required Lenders, subject to
Sections 8.6(5), 8.6(6) and 8.6(7) or unless otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement: 

  

	 	(a)	 amend, modify or waive any term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including waiver of a Default
if the subject matter of the waiver does not fall within the matters covered by Section 8.6(5), or exercise any right of approval conferred on the Lenders by this Agreement; 

 

	 	(b)	 notify any Obligor of any matter of which notice may be required or desirable under or in connection with
the Loan Documents, except that the Agent shall, without direction from the Lenders, immediately give the Borrower notice of any payment that is due or overdue under the terms of this Agreement unless the Agent considers that it should request the
direction of the Required Lenders, in which case the Agent shall promptly request that direction; 

  

	 	(c)	 declare an Event of Default, declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, take action to
enforce performance of the Obligations or to realize on the Security including by appointment of a receiver, the exercise of powers of sale given by the Security or by Applicable Law or foreclosure proceedings, and/or pursue any other legal remedy;

  

	 	(d)	 pay insurance premiums, Taxes and any other sum reasonably required to protect the interests of the Lenders;
or 

  

	 	(e)	 enter into or amend, modify or waive any term of any Intercreditor Agreement unless Section 8.6(5)(i)
applies. 

  

	(5)	 The Agent may take the following actions only with the unanimous consent of the Lenders, unless otherwise
specified in this Agreement: 

  
 79 

	 	(a)	 reduce the rate or amount of any interest or fee payable under this Agreement, or postpone payment of any
interest or fee, except to the extent that waiver of a Default may in effect result in waiver of any post-Default increase in interest or fees or that an amendment relating to a financial covenant that determines which of various specified interest
or fee rates applies may in effect cause a reduction, postponement or waiver of interest or fees; 

  

	 	(b)	 increase the amount of a Credit or change the several liability of the Lenders; 

 

	 	(c)	 waive payment of any part of the Obligations, or postpone the date for or reduce the amount of any payment
under Section 9.8 or any scheduled repayment (including the maturity date) or mandatory prepayment or reduction of any Credit; 

  

	 	(d)	 change the currency in which Advances are made by the Lenders or payments are made by the Borrower;

  

	 	(e)	 subject to Section 8.6(7), discharge any Property from the Lien of any Security, release any obligation
to provide or perfect Security or release any Obligor generally from its obligations as an Obligor; 

  

	 	(f)	 amend the definition of “Required Lenders,” this Section 8.6(5)(f) or any other provision of
this Agreement that specifies the number or percentage of Lenders required to make any decision under or in connection with this Agreement; 

  

	 	(g)	 amend any aspect of this Agreement that would affect the sharing of payments specified in this Agreement;

  

	 	(h)	 waive an Event of Default under Sections 7.1(1), 7.1(m) or 7.1(n); or 

 

	 	(i)	 enter into any Intercreditor Agreement or amend, modify or waive any term of any Intercreditor Agreement if
doing so would adversely affect the priority of any Lien arising under the Security or the priority of any payment obligation of the Obligors under the Loan Documents. 

 

	(6)	 Except as expressly contemplated in this Agreement, no Lender’s Commitment or Applicable Percentage may
be amended without the consent of that Lender. In addition, no amendment, modification or waiver affecting the rights or obligations of the Agent may be made without its consent and no amendment, modification or waiver affecting rights or
obligations under the Loan Documents relating to Other Secured Obligations may be made without the consent of the Lenders who are or whose Affiliates are affected as holders of Other Secured Obligations. No amendment to the definition of
“Defaulting Lender” or Section 8.10 may be made without the consent of the Agent. 

  

	(7)	 Notwithstanding Sections 8.6(4), 8.6(5) and 8.6(6), the Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, make
amendments to the Loan Documents that are for the sole purpose of curing any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency that is clerical or not Material, but shall promptly notify the Lenders if it does so. The Agent may also, without the consent of any
Lender, discharge any Security and/or release any Obligor other than the Borrower to the 

  
 80 

	 	 
extent necessary to allow completion of any sale or other disposition of Property (including Equity Interests of an Obligor) or any corporate reorganization permitted by this Agreement or in
respect of which the Lenders or Required Lenders have, as applicable, consented or waived the requirements of this Agreement. 

  

	(8)	 As between the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand:

  

	 	(a)	 all statements, certificates, consents and other documents that the Agent purports to deliver on behalf of
the Lenders or the Required Lenders shall be binding on each Lender, and the Obligors shall not be required to ascertain or confirm the authority of the Agent in delivering the documents; 

 

	 	(b)	 all certificates, statements, notices and other documents that are delivered by the Obligors to the Agent in
accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly delivered to each Lender; and 

  

	 	(c)	 all payments that are delivered by the Borrower to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement shall be
deemed to have been received by each Lender entitled to payment. 

  

	(9)	 Except in its own right as a Lender, the Agent shall not be required to advance its own funds for any
purpose, and in particular, shall not be required to pay with its own funds insurance premiums, taxes or public utility charges or the cost of repairs or maintenance with respect to the Property that is the subject matter of the Security, nor shall
it be required to pay with its own funds the fees of solicitors, counsel, auditors, experts or agents engaged by it as permitted by the Loan Documents. 

  

	8.7	 Acknowledgments, Representations and Covenants of Lenders 

 

	(1)	 (1) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on documents and information that it from time to time deems appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon any Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished under any Loan Document. 

  

	(2)	 Each Lender represents and warrants that it has full power and authority, and has taken all action
necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to be a Lender. 

  

	(3)	 Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent and hold it harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower), rateably according to its Applicable Percentage (and not jointly or jointly and severally) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any

  
 81 

 
counsel, which may be incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated in them. However, no Lender shall be
liable for any portion of those losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses that results from the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Agent shall not be required to take or continue any action unless the Agent has
received sufficient funds or arrangements satisfactory to it for indemnification to cover the cost of the proposed action. 
  

	(4)	 To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections
11.5(1) and 11.5(2) to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent or Related Party of the Agent), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any sub-agent or
Related Party) that Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of the unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting
for the Agent (or any sub-agent) in connection with that capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section are subject to the other provisions of this Agreement concerning several liability of the
Lenders. 

  

	(5)	 Each Lender acknowledges and confirms that if the Agent does not receive payment in accordance with this
Agreement, it shall not be the Agent’s obligation to maintain the Credits in good standing, nor shall any Lender have recourse to the Agent in respect of any amounts owing to the Lender under this Agreement. 

 

	(6)	 Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to advance its Applicable Percentage of Advances in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement is independent and in no way related to the obligation of any other Lender. 

  

	(7)	 Each Lender acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement, the Security (to the extent that the Security
has been delivered) and each Intercreditor Agreement that exists at the date of this Agreement, and acknowledges that it is satisfied with the form and content of those documents. 

 

	(8)	 Each Revolving Lender that is a “foreign bank” as defined in the Bank Act (Canada) represents and
warrants that it is an “authorized foreign bank” as defined in that Act and that it is acting through a branch in Canada. 

  

	8.8	 Collective Action of the Lenders 

Each Lender acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Security and the remedies provided under the Loan
Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally, and also acknowledges that its rights under the Loan Documents are to be exercised not severally, but by the Agent upon the decision of
the Required Lenders (or another number or percentage of the Lenders as is expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision contained in any Loan Document, each Lender

  
 82 

	 	 
agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action, including any declaration of Default, but that any such action shall be taken only by the Agent with the prior written agreement of the
Required Lenders (or another number or percentage of the Lenders that is expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). Each Lender also agrees that, upon any such written agreement being given, it shall
co-operate fully with the Agent to the extent requested by the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Agent, acting
reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take any action on behalf of the Lenders that it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the
Lenders. 

  

	8.9	 Authorization of Intercreditor Agreement 

Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Agent to execute and deliver on its behalf each Intercreditor Agreement to which
the Agent is a party and that is approved in accordance with this Agreement, and agrees that any such Intercreditor Agreement shall be binding on the Lender as if it was a signatory. 

 

	8.10	 Defaulting Lenders 

 

	(1)	 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the
provisions of Sections 8.10(2) to 8.10(7) shall apply to the extent permitted by Applicable Law until the Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. 

  

	(2)	 The Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to
this Agreement shall be restricted as specified in the definition of “Required Lenders.” 

  

	(3)	 The Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-B/A Lender. Any
outstanding Advance by the Defaulting Lender by way of B/A shall be deemed to have been made as a B/A Equivalent Loan and, provided that on the maturity of each such B/A Equivalent Loan the Borrower pays the Agent the difference between the amount
that it would otherwise have to pay the Defaulting Lender as a Non-B/A Lender in accordance with Section 9.11(3) and the proceeds of a B/A Equivalent Loan that the Defaulting Lender would be required to
make if requested to rollover the maturing B/A Equivalent Loan, the B/A Equivalent Loan shall be deemed to have been rolled over. 

  

	(4)	 Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of the
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.11 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the
Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by the Defaulting Lender to the Agent under this Agreement; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of
which the Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order
to satisfy the Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding 

  
 83 

	 	 
obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender against the Defaulting Lender as a result of the Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a
result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against the Defaulting Lender as a result of the Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to the Defaulting Lender
or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) the payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advance in respect of which the Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share (including
pursuant to Section 9.1), and (y) the Advances were made at a time when the conditions in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, the payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances by and other amounts owing to all Non-Defaulting Lenders (including pursuant to Section 9.1) on a pro rata basis before being applied to the payment of any Advances or other amounts owing to the Defaulting Lender, until all Advances and
all unfunded or contingent obligations pursuant to Section 9.1 are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments without giving effect to Section 8.10(6). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts
paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender (including any amount paid by the Borrower to the Agent for the account of the Defaulting Lender) that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to
this Section 8.10(3) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by the Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents to that. 

  

	(5)	 No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any standby fee for any period during which that Lender is
a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any standby fee that otherwise would have been required to be paid to that Defaulting Lender. With respect to any standby fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower shall (i) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to the Defaulting Lender with respect to the
Defaulting Lender’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.1 that has been reallocated to that Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.10(6), and (ii) not be required to pay the remaining
amount of any such fee. 

  

	(6)	 All or any part of the Defaulting Lender’s obligations pursuant to Section 9 1 shall be
reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that
reallocation does not cause the aggregate of the Advances made by, and obligations pursuant to Section 9.1 of, any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed its Commitment. No reallocation shall constitute a waiver
or release of any claim of any party to this Agreement against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of the Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following reallocation. 

  

	(7)	 If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent
will so notify the Parties, whereupon as of the effective date specified 

  
 84 

	 	 
in that notice and subject to any conditions specified in it (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that
portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and obligations pursuant to Section 9.1 to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance
with their respective Commitments (without giving effect to Section 8.10(6)), whereupon the Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender. No adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender and, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected Parties, no change from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any Party arising
from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. 

  

	8.11	 Reference Lenders 

 

	(1)	 If more than one Lender is a bank named on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada), the Agent shall be a
Schedule I Reference Lender and the Borrower shall designate a different Lender named on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada) to be a Schedule I Reference Lender for the purpose of providing quotations to the Agent to be used in determining
rates as required by this Agreement. 

  

	(2)	 If any Schedule I Reference Lender ceases to be a Lender, the person that originally designated that
Schedule I Reference Lender shall have the right to designate in a timely manner another Lender that is a named on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada) as a replacement Schedule I Reference Lender, failing which the applicable rate shall be
determined on the basis of the quotation provided by the notice from the remaining Schedule I Reference Lender. 

  

	(3)	 If only one Lender is a bank named on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada), that Lender shall be
deemed to be the Schedule I Reference Lender and any applicable rate shall be determined on the basis of the quotation provided by that Lender. 

  

	8.12	 Successor Agent 

 

	(1)	 The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a Revolving Lender having an office in Vancouver,
British Columbia or Toronto, Ontario, or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Vancouver or Toronto. The Agent may also be removed at any time by the Required Lenders upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Agent and the Borrower
as long as the Required Lenders, in consultation with the Borrower, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, appoint and obtain the acceptance of a successor within those thirty (30) days, which shall be a Revolving Lender having an office
in Vancouver or Toronto or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Vancouver or Toronto. 

  
 85 

	(2)	 If no successor has been appointed by the Required Lenders and has accepted the appointment within thirty
(30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent that meets the qualifications specified in Section 8.12(1) and that is not a Defaulting
Lender, provided that if the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted that appointment, then the resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with the retiring Agent’s notice and
(a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (except that the retiring Agent shall continue to hold the Security on behalf of the Lenders until such time as a successor Agent is appointed)
and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for in
Section 8.12(1). 

  

	(3)	 Upon a successor’s appointment as Agent, the successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former Agent, and the former Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (if not already discharged from them as provided in Section 8.12(2)). The
fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the successor. After the termination of the service of the former Agent, the provisions of this
Article 8 and of Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the former Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
any of them while the former Agent was acting as Agent. 

  

	8.13	 No Other Duties, Etc. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Bookrunner, Arranger or holder of a similar title specified in
this Agreement shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or a Lender. 

 

	8.14	 Provisions Operative Between Lenders and Agent Only 

Except for Sections 8.6(8), 8.7(2), 8.7(6), 8.9 to 8.13 inclusive and this Section 8.14, the provisions of this Article
relating to the rights and obligations of the Lenders and the Agent inter se shall be operative as between the Lenders and the Agent only, and the Obligors shall not have any rights under or be entitled to rely for any purpose on those provisions.

  

	8.15	 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other
agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA
Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be 

  
 86 

	 	 
bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto
that is an EEA Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such
liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on
it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in
connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 

 ARTICLE 9

 DETAILS REGARDING ADVANCES, PAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES 

 

	9.1	 Lenders’ Obligations Relating to Credit 

 

	(1)	 It is the intention of the Parties that the ultimate credit risk and exposure of any Lender be in accordance
with its overall Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit and the Term Credit. 

  

	(2)	 Accordingly, upon the Obligations becoming due and payable under Section 7.2, each Lender shall do all
things, including purchases of participations in Advances made by other Lenders, that are necessary to ensure that result. Any such action on the part of the Lenders shall be binding on the Borrower. 

 

	(3)	 Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 9.1 are absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or the reduction or termination of its Commitment, and that any payment it is required to make pursuant to
its obligations shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

  

	9.2	 Lenders’ Obligations Relating to Swingline Credit 

 

	(1)	 The Swingline Lender shall, on no less frequently than once per calendar month (but more frequently in its
sole discretion) by written notice given to the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on any Banking Day request that the Agent notify the Lenders of the requirement for an Advance to be made available by each of them under the Revolving Credit in an
amount equal to that Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the advances under the Swingline Credit then outstanding. The proceeds of such Advance shall be paid by the Agent to the Swingline Lender to be applied against the outstanding Swingline
Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in the Swingline Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each 

  
 87 

	 	 
Lender shall comply with its obligation by wire transfer of immediately available funds with respect to Commitments made by such Lender, and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender
the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Credit after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a
sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Agent. Any such amounts received by the Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 9.2(1) and to the
Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Credit pursuant to this Section 9.2(1) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 

 

	9.3	 Evidence of Indebtedness 

The Agent shall maintain records concerning the Obligations and each Lender shall maintain records concerning those Advances it
has made. The failure of the Agent or any Lender to correctly record any detail relating to an Advance shall not, however, adversely affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any of the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement. 

 

	9.4	 Calculation and Other Matters Regarding Interest and Fees 

 

	(1)	 All interest on Prime Rate Advances, Base Rate Advances and LIBOR Advances shall accrue from day to day and
shall be payable in arrears, calculated on the actual number of days elapsed from and including the date of Advance or the previous date on which interest was due in accordance with Section 2.5, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on
which interest is due. If interest is not paid on the date it is due, the principal amount shall continue to bear interest at the rate that is applicable to the particular type of Advance from time to time in accordance with Section 2.5(1),
both before and after maturity, default and judgment, and overdue interest shall bear interest at the same rate, compounded monthly, and be payable on demand. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, upon the expiry of the LIBOR Period
applicable to any LIBOR Advance, the principal amount and any overdue interest with respect to that LIBOR Advance shall bear interest calculated at the rates applicable to Base Rate Advances. 

 

	(2)	 Interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a calendar year unless otherwise specified. Interest
calculated with reference to LIBOR shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the B/A Discount Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days. Any rate that is calculated with reference to a period (the “deemed
interest period”) that is less than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to a rate based on a calendar year calculated by multiplying that rate of
interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing by the number of days in the deemed interest period. All calculations of interest and fees under the Loan Documents shall be made on the basis of the nominal
rates described in this Agreement and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or on any other basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment. The Parties acknowledge that there is a material difference between the

  
 88 

	 	 
stated nominal rates and effective yearly rates taking into account reinvestment, and that they are capable of making the calculations required to determine effective yearly rates.

  

	(3)	 In this Section 9.4, any reference to a “calendar year” means the calendar year in which the
period for which the calculation in question falls. If the period falls in two calendar years, one of which is a leap year, the calculation shall be done separately for the parts of the period that fall in each calendar year and the calculated
amounts for each period shall be added. 

  

	(4)	 The B/A Fee for a B/A is calculated by multiplying the face amount of the B/A by the rate for calculation of
the B/A Fee specified in Section 2.5, and multiplying the result by a fraction, the numerator of which is the term of the B/A and the denominator of which is the number of days in the calendar year. 

 

	(5)	 The B/A Discount Proceeds for a B/A are equal to the face amount of that B/A multiplied by the price and
shall be rounded to the nearest full cent, with one-half of one cent being rounded up. The price is calculated by dividing one by the sum of one plus the product of (i) the B/A Discount Rate applicable to
that B/A expressed as a decimal fraction, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the term in days of that B/A and the denominator of which is 365. The price shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.001%.

  

	(6)	 The standby fee shall be calculated daily on the undrawn amount of the applicable Credit at the rate for
calculation of the standby fee specified in Section 2.5, beginning on the date of this Agreement, and each payment shall cover the period from and including the date of this Agreement or the previous date on which the standby fee was due in
accordance with Section 2.5, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which the standby fee is due. 

  

	(7)	 If an Obligor fails to pay when due any amount payable under any Loan Document for which interest is not
otherwise provided in this Agreement or another relevant Loan Document, that Obligor shall, on demand, pay interest on the overdue amount to the Agent from and including the due date up to but excluding the date of actual payment, both before and
after demand, default or judgment, at the rate of interest determined from time to time in accordance with Section 2.5(1) that is applicable to Prime Rate Advances (if the amount is denominated in Canadian Dollars) or Base Rate Advances (if the
amount is denominated in US Dollars), in each case compounded monthly. 

  

	(8)	 The Parties intend to comply with Applicable Law relating to usury. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no event shall any Loan Document require the payment or permit the collection of interest or other amounts in an amount or at a rate in excess of the amount or rate that is permitted by Applicable Law or
in an amount or at a rate that would result in the receipt by the Lenders or the Agent of interest at a criminal rate, as the terms “interest” and “criminal rate” are defined under the Criminal Code (Canada). Where more
than one Applicable Law applies to any Obligor, that Obligor shall not be obliged to make payment in an amount or at a rate higher than the lowest permitted amount or rate. If from any circumstance whatever,

  
 89 

	 	 
fulfilment of any provision of any Loan Document would result in exceeding the highest rate or amount permitted by Applicable Law for the collection or charging of interest, the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be reduced to reflect the highest permitted rate or amount. If from any circumstance the Agent or the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest under any Loan Document that would result in exceeding
the highest lawful rate or amount of interest permitted by Applicable Law, the amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the relevant Credit, and not to the payment of interest, or if the
excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the relevant Credit, the amount exceeding the unpaid balance shall be refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specified contingency
exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Obligors, the Agent and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium
rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and their effects, (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the term of the applicable Credit so that interest does not exceed the
maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law, and/or (iv) allocate interest between portions of the Obligations to the end that no portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by Applicable Law. For the purposes of the
Criminal Code (Canada), the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles and if there is any dispute, the determination of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of
Actuaries appointed by the Agent shall be conclusive. 

  

	9.5	 Conversions, Rollovers, Renewals, Repayments and Reductions 

 

	(1)	 Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may from time to time: 

 

	 	(a)	 convert all or any part of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Advance into a Base Rate Advance in the same
principal amount, or vice versa; 

  

	 	(b)	 convert all or any part of the outstanding amount of any Advance by way of B/As into a Prime Rate Advance in
the same principal amount, or vice versa; 

  

	 	(c)	 rollover all or any part of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Advance at the end of the LIBOR Period as a
new LIBOR Advance or rollover all or any part of the outstanding amount of any Advance by way of B/As as a new Advance by way of B/As; 

  

	 	(d)	 in circumstances not mentioned in items (a) to (d) immediately above, concurrently repay one Advance
and obtain a different type of Advance. 

  

	(2)	 Subject to giving notice required by Section 9.6, the Borrower may from time to time repay Advances
outstanding under a Credit without penalty, except that: 

  

	 	(a)	 the Borrower must prepay all Lenders under the applicable Credit pro rata and must prepay the same
Advance made by each applicable Lender. 

  
 90 

	 	(b)	 LIBOR Advances may not be paid before the end of the applicable LIBOR Periods unless the Borrower
indemnifies the relevant Lenders for any loss or expense that the Lenders incur as a result, including any breakage costs. 

  

	 	(c)	 No B/A may be paid before its maturity date. The Borrower may provide Cash Collateral to the Lenders that
have accepted B/As in an amount equal to the face amount of any or all outstanding B/As if the Borrower concurrently repays all corresponding B/A Equivalent Loans. 

No voluntary payment by the Borrower shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to make all other principal payments required
by this Agreement in full when due, until the applicable Credit is repaid in full and cancelled. 
  

	(3)	 The Borrower may from time to time cancel a Credit, or permanently reduce the committed amount of a Credit
by an amount that must be a minimum of US $1,000,000 and a whole multiple of US $100,000. The Borrower shall do so by giving not less than three Banking Days’ irrevocable notice to the Agent and paying all accrued and unpaid standby fees on the
amount cancelled or reduced to the effective date of cancellation or reduction. Any reduction must be applied pro rata to the respective Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit that is reduced and must be applied pro rata to the
overall Commitment of each Lender for all Credits if the Applicable Percentage of each Lender is not the same for each Credit. The Borrower shall have no right to any reinstatement of any previously committed amount of that Credit after any
cancellation or reduction. 

  

	9.6	 Notice of Advances and Payments 

 

	(1)	 The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice, in the form attached as Schedule K, of any request for
any Advance to it (excluding Advances under the Swingline Credit which are made in accordance with Section 9.6(2)). The Borrower shall also give the Agent irrevocable notice in the same form of any payment by it of any Advance under the Credits
(whether resulting from repayment, prepayment, rollover or conversion), other than payment of an Advance under the Swingline Credit, which for greater certainty, requires no repayment notice. 

 

	(2)	 To request an Advance under the Swingline Credit, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request by
telephone (to be confirmed in writing), not later than 11:00a.m., on the day of a proposed Advance. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date, which shall be a Banking Day, and amount of the requested Advance. The
Agent shall promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Advance available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the disbursement account of the Borrower with the
Swingline Lender by 3:00 p.m., on the requested date of such Advance. Advances under the Swingline Credit shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to a Prime Rate Advance (if in Canadian Dollars) or at a rate per annum
equal to the rate applicable to a Base Rate Advance (if in US Dollars). Interest shall be payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swingline Lender and in any event on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the
date that the Credits are terminated pursuant to 

  
 91 

	 	 
Section 2.4(3) or Section 7.1. The interest payable on the Swingline Credit is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender (subject to Section 9.2(1) above).

  

	(3)	 Notice for B/As or LIBOR Advances shall be given not later than the third Banking Day before the Advance
Date or date of payment. Notice for a Prime Rate Advance or Base Rate Advance shall be given on or before the Banking Day before the Advance Date or date of payment. 

 

	(4)	 Notices shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date for notice. Payments (except those being made
solely from the proceeds of rollovers and conversions) must be made before 1 p.m. on the date for payment. If a notice or payment is not given or made by those times, it shall be deemed to have been given or made on the next Banking Day, unless all
Lenders affected by the late notice or payment agree, in their sole discretion, to accept a notice or payment at a later time as being effective on the date it is given or made. 

 

	(5)	 Without limiting Section 11.5, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lead Arranger, the Agent and the
Lenders for all costs that they incur if the Borrower gives notice requesting an Advance or notice of a payment and subsequently fails to complete the Advance or payment or the conditions of the Advance are not satisfied before the time specified in
Section 9.9(5) on the proposed Advance Date. 

  

	9.7	 Size and Term of Advances 

 

	(1)	 Each Prime Rate Advance or Base Rate Advance (including an Advance under the Swingline Credit) shall be in
an aggregate minimum amount of CAD $1,000,000 or US $1,000,000, respectively and in a whole multiple of CAD $100,000 or US $100,000, respectively. 

  

	(2)	 Each Advance of B/As shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of CAD $1,000,000 and in a whole multiple of
CAD $1,000. In its notice requesting an Advance of B/As, the Borrower shall select a term of one, two, three or six months to apply to the Advance. 

  

	(3)	 Each LIBOR Advance shall be in a minimum amount of US $1,000,000 and a whole multiple of US $100,000. In its
notice requesting a LIBOR Advance, the Borrower shall select a LIBOR Period of one, two, three or six months to apply to any particular LIBOR Advance. 

  

	(4)	 Terms of B/As and LIBOR Periods of lengths shall also be available at the discretion of the Lenders from
time to time and the Agent may, in circumstances of market disruption or illiquidity, restrict the term or maturity dates of B/As and/or LIBOR Advances. There shall not at any time be B/As and/or LIBOR Advances outstanding with more than six
different maturity dates. No B/A may mature and no LIBOR Period may end on a date that is not a Banking Day, after the maturity date of the applicable Credit, or after a date on which the applicable Credit is required to be reduced if that would
adversely affect the Borrower’s ability to make the reduction. 

  
 92 

	9.8	 Payment of B/As and LIBOR Advances 

 

	(1)	 The Borrower shall provide for the following by giving notice under Section 9.6 requesting a rollover
or conversion if the Borrower is otherwise entitled to an Advance, or by delivery of payment: 

  

	 	(a)	 payment to the Agent at the Branch of Account of the full face amount of each B/A for value on the date of
its maturity 

  

	 	(b)	 payment to the Agent at the Branch of Account of the amount of each LIBOR Advance for value on the last day
of the applicable LIBOR Period; and 

  

	(2)	 If the Borrower fails to provide for payment in accordance with Section 9.8(1), and if the Borrower is
otherwise entitled to an Advance but for failing to give notice under Section 9.6 due to inadvertence, the Agent may deem a Prime Rate Advance to have been made in the case of failure to provide for a B/A or a Base Rate Advance to have been
made in the case of failure to provide for a LIBOR Advance under the Credit under which the B/A or LIBOR Advance was originally advanced. If the Agent deems an Advance to have been made, the Agent shall immediately give notice to the Borrower and
the Lenders. 

  

	(3)	 If the Borrower fails to provide for payment in accordance with Section 9.8(1) and if the Agent does
not deem an Advance to have been made under Section 9.8(2), then without limiting the Lenders’ other rights, the Borrower shall pay interest on the amount for which it has not provided for payment at a rate of interest per annum equal to
the rate applicable to Prime Rate Advances (in the case of a B/A) or Base Rate Advances (in the case of a LIBOR Advance) as determined in accordance with Section 2.5(1), compounded monthly. Interest shall be calculated from and including the
date on which payment was to have been provided for, up to but excluding the date the payment and all interest, both before and after demand, default and judgment, is provided for by the Borrower. 

 

	9.9	 Co-ordination of Prime Rate, Base Rate, B/A and LIBOR Advances

  

	(1)	 The Agent shall advise each Lender of its receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 9.6 requesting a
Prime Rate, Base Rate, LIBOR Advance or Advance of B/As on the day that notice is received from the Borrower and shall, as soon as possible, advise each Lender of that Lender’s share of the Advance. Each Lender’s share shall be based on
its Applicable Percentage, but if the Agent determines that a Lender’s Applicable Percentage would result in its share of an Advance not being a whole multiple of $1,000 or US $1,000, as the case may be, the Agent may increase or reduce the
amount to be advanced by that Lender in the Agent’s sole discretion to the extent necessary to make the amount a whole multiple. 

  

	(2)	 In advising a Lender of the amount it is to deliver to the Agent in respect of any Advance, the Agent shall
allow for deduction by each Lender of the applicable B/A Fee in connection with an Advance by way of B/As and may also net other amounts payable in the same currency by the Borrower to the Agent for the account of that Lender on the Advance Date.

  
 93 

	(3)	 The LIBOR Period applicable to a LIBOR Advance and the maturity date for an Advance of B/As shall be
identical for each Lender. 

  

	(4)	 Each Lender shall deliver its share of the Advance to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Advance
Date, for value on that date. 

  

	(5)	 If the Agent determines that all the conditions precedent to an Advance specified in this Agreement have
been met, it shall advance to the Borrower before 2:00 p.m. on the Advance Date the amount delivered by each Lender, by crediting an account maintained by the Borrower with the Agent or initiating a wire transfer in accordance with instructions
received from the Borrower. If the conditions precedent to the Advance are not met by 2:00 p.m. on the Advance Date, the Agent shall return the funds to the Lenders or invest them in an overnight investment as orally instructed by each Lender until
the Advance is made. The Agent is not required to advance any amount to the Borrower that the Agent has not actually received from a Lender. 

  

	(6)	 Any difference between the actual proceeds of a newly issued B/A and the amount required to pay a maturing
B/A that is being rolled over or the amount required to pay a Prime Rate Advance that is being converted to B/As, any difference between the actual proceeds of an Advance and the amount required to repay any Advance that is concurrently being repaid
and any difference between the actual proceeds of an Advance and the amount required to fulfill any specific use of the proceeds that the Borrower has directed the Agent to make, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Agent from its own resources by
11:00 a.m. on the Advance Date or may be advanced as a Prime Rate Advance or Base Rate Advance under the Swingline Credit if the Borrower is otherwise entitled to an Advance under the Swingline Credit. 

 

	9.10	 Execution of B/As 

 

	(1)	 To facilitate the acceptance of B/As under this Agreement, the Borrower appoints each Lender as its attorney
to sign and endorse on its behalf, as and when considered necessary by the Lender, an appropriate number of orders in the form prescribed by that Lender. 

  

	(2)	 Each Lender may, at its option, execute any order in handwriting or by the facsimile or mechanical signature
of any of its authorized officers, and the Lenders are authorized to accept or pay, as the case may be, any order of the Borrower that purports to bear such a signature notwithstanding that the signatory has ceased to be an authorized officer of the
Lender. Any such order or B/A shall be as valid as if the individual were an authorized officer at the date of issue of the order or B/A. 

  

	(3)	 Any order or B/A signed by a Lender as attorney for the Borrower, whether signed in handwriting or by
facsimile or mechanical signature may be dealt with by the Agent or any Lender to all intents and purposes and shall bind the Borrower as if duly signed and issued by the Borrower. 

 

	(4)	 The receipt by the Agent of a notice requesting an Advance by way of B/As shall be each Lender’s
sufficient authority to execute, and each Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, execute orders in accordance with that request and the 

  
 94 

	 	 
advice of the Agent given pursuant to Section 9.9. The executed orders shall be deemed to have been presented for acceptance. 

 

	9.11	 Funding of B/As 

 

	(1)	 Subject to Section 9.20(1), it shall be the responsibility of each Lender to arrange, in accordance
with normal market practice, for the sale on each Advance Date of the B/As issued by the Borrower and to be accepted by that Lender, failing which the provisions of this Agreement relating to Non-B/A Lenders
shall apply. 

  

	(2)	 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount to be transferred by a Lender to the Agent
in connection with any B/A accepted by that Lender shall be determined by the B/A Discount Proceeds calculated with respect to the B/A rather than the actual proceeds of any sale of that B/A. Accordingly, in respect of any particular B/A accepted by
it, a Lender (a) shall be entitled to retain for its own account the amount, if any, by which any actual proceeds of sale exceed the calculated B/A Discount Proceeds with respect to the B/A, and (b) shall be required to pay out of its own
funds the amount, if any, by which the actual proceeds of sale are less than the calculated B/A Discount Proceeds. 

  

	(3)	 Whenever the Borrower requests an Advance that includes B/As, each Lender that is not permitted by
Applicable Law or by customary market practice to accept B/As or for any other reason elects by notice to the Agent from time to time not to do so (a “Non-B/A Lender”) shall, in lieu of
accepting its pro rata amount of B/As, make available to the Borrower on the Advance Date a loan (a “B/A Equivalent Loan”) in Canadian Dollars and in an amount equal to the B/A Discount Proceeds of the B/As that the Non-B/A Lender would otherwise have accepted, less the B/A Fee that would otherwise have been applicable. The B/A Equivalent Loan shall have a term equal to the term of the B/As that the Non-B/A Lender would otherwise have accepted and the Borrower shall, at the end of that term, be obligated to pay the Non-B/A Lender an amount equal to the aggregate face
amount of the B/As that it would otherwise have accepted. All provisions of this Agreement applicable to B/As and Lenders that accept B/As shall apply mutatis mutandis to B/A Equivalent Loans and
Non-B/A Lenders. 

  

	9.12	 Other B/A Provisions 

 

	(1)	 The Borrower shall not claim from a Lender any days of grace for the payment at maturity of any B/A accepted
by the Lender pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower waives any defence to payment that might otherwise exist if for any reason a B/A is held at maturity by a Lender in its own right, and the doctrine of merger shall not apply to any B/A that is
at any time held by a Lender in its own right. 

  

	(2)	 Any executed orders to be used as B/As shall be held by a Lender in safekeeping with the same degree of care
as if they were the Lender’s own Property, and shall be kept at the place at which executed orders are ordinarily held by the Lender. 

  
 95 

	(3)	 The obligations of the Borrower with respect to B/As under this Agreement shall be unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following circumstances: 

  

	 	(a)	 any lack of validity or enforceability of any order accepted by a Lender as a B/A; or 

 

	 	(b)	 the existence of any claim, set-off, defence or other right that the
Borrower may have at any time against the holder of a B/A, a Lender or any other Person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. 

  

	(4)	 The Borrower shall not enter into any agreement or arrangement of any kind with any Person to whom B/As have
been delivered by which the Borrower undertakes to replace the B/As on a continuing basis with other B/As, nor shall the Borrower directly or indirectly take, use or provide B/As as security for loans or advances from any other Person.

  

	9.13	 Failure of Lender to Fund 

 

	(1)	 Unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender before the proposed date of any Advance that the Lender
will not make available to the Agent its share of the Advance, the Agent may assume that the Lender has made its share available on that date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may, in reliance upon
that assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In that event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Advance available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Agent immediately on
demand that corresponding amount, with interest for each day from and including the date the amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing
banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If the Lender pays that amount to the Agent, then the amount shall constitute the Lender’s Advance. If the Lender does not do so immediately, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent immediately
on demand the corresponding amount with interest at the interest rate applicable to the Advance in question. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make its
payment to the Agent. 

  

	(2)	 Notwithstanding Section 9.13(1), if any Lender fails to deliver its share of any Advance to the Agent
(that Lender being the “Non-Funding Lender”) and no steps have been taken to address the failure through provisions of this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders, the Agent shall
immediately give notice of that failure by the Non-Funding Lender to the Borrower and the other Lenders and indicate to the other Lenders that any Lender (individually a “Contributing Lender”
and collectively the “Contributing Lenders”) may make available to the Agent all or any portion of the Non-Funding Lender’s share of that Advance in place of the Non-Funding Lender, but in no way shall any other Lender or the Agent be obliged to do so. A Contributing Lender shall make funds available to the Agent as soon as possible for delivery by the Agent to the Borrower.
If more than one Contributing Lender gives notice that it is prepared to make 

  
 96 

	 	 
funds available and the aggregate of the funds that the Contributing Lenders are prepared to make available exceeds the amount of the Advance that the
Non-Funding Lender failed to make, then each Contributing Lender shall make available a portion of that Advance based on the Contributing Lenders’ relative Commitments to the applicable Credit. If a
Contributing Lender makes funds available in the place of a Non-Funding Lender, then the Non-Funding Lender shall pay the Contributing Lender, immediately on demand, the
amount advanced on its behalf together with interest at the rate applicable to that Advance from the date of advance to the date of payment, and the Non-Funding Lender shall then be entitled to receive all
interest paid in respect of the Advance by the Borrower. The failure of any Lender to deliver its Applicable Percentage of any Advance to the Agent as required shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to deliver its Applicable Percentage
of any Advance as required. 

  

	9.14	 Payments by the Borrower 

 

	(1)	 Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower shall be
made to and received by the Agent and shall be distributed by the Agent to the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Agent. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Sections 3.2(3) and 9.15), the Agent shall distribute:

  

	 	(a)	 payments of interest in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the relevant Credit;

  

	 	(b)	 repayments of principal in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the relevant Credit;
and 

  

	 	(c)	 all other payments received by the Agent, including amounts received on the realization of Security, in
accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the relevant Credit, except that no Lender shall receive proceeds of realization in excess of the Obligations owing to it. 

 

	(2)	 Notwithstanding Section 9.14(1), before the Agent distributes amounts to Lenders received from the
Borrower following the occurrence of an Event of Default or upon on the realization of Security, the Agent shall deduct from the amounts received the pari passu share to which Persons to whom the Other Secured Obligations are owed are entitled in
accordance with Section 3.2(1) and distribute the amount deducted to those Persons in accordance with their respective entitlements, concurrently with distributing the balance to the Lenders in accordance with Section 9.14(1).

  

	(3)	 If the Agent does not distribute a Lender’s share of a payment made by the Borrower to that Lender for
value on the day that payment is made or deemed to have been made to the Agent, the Agent shall pay to the Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (a) the Interbank Reference Rate per annum multiplied by (b) the Lender’s
share of the amount received by the Agent from the Borrower and not distributed to the Lender, multiplied by (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed from and including the date of receipt of the payment by
the Agent to but excluding the date on which the payment is made by the Agent to the Lender and the 

  
 97 

	 	 
denominator of which is 365. The Agent shall be entitled to withhold any Tax applicable to any payment as required by Applicable Law. 

 

	(4)	 The Agent may debit accounts, credits and other balances maintained by the Borrower from time to time with
the Agent or its Affiliates to facilitate or otherwise obtain payment of interest, fees and other Obligations owing by the Borrower. 

  

	9.15	 Payments by Agent 

 

	(1)	 For certainty, the following provisions shall apply to payments made by the Agent to the Lenders:

  

	 	(a)	 The Agent shall be under no obligation to make any payment to any Lender (whether in respect of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise) until an amount in respect of that payment has been received by the Agent from the Borrower. 

  

	 	(b)	 If the Agent receives less than the full amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount
owing by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Agent shall have no obligation to remit to each Lender any amount except that Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount actually received by the Agent. 

 

	 	(c)	 If any Lender advances more or less than its Applicable Percentage of a Credit, that Lender’s
entitlement to that payment shall be increased or reduced, as the case may be, in proportion to the amount actually advanced by that Lender. 

  

	 	(d)	 Except as specified in any applicable Assignment and Assumption, if a Lender’s share of an Advance has
been advanced, or a Lender’s Commitment has been outstanding, for less than the full period to which any payment (except a payment of principal) by the Borrower relates, that Lender’s entitlement to that payment shall be reduced in
proportion to the length of time the Lender’s share of the relevant Advance or the Lender’s Commitment, as the case may be, has actually been outstanding. 

 

	 	(e)	 The Agent acting reasonably and in good faith shall, after consultation with the Lenders in the case of any
dispute, determine in all cases the amount of all payments to which each Lender is entitled and that determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding and conclusive. 

On request, the Agent shall deliver a statement detailing any of the payments to the Lenders. 

 

	(2)	 Unless the Agent has received notice from the Borrower before the date on which any payment is due to the
Agent for the account of any Lender that the Borrower will not make that payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made the payment on that date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon that assumption, distribute the
amount due to the Lenders. In that event, if the Borrower has not in fact made the payment, then each Lender severally agrees to repay to the Agent immediately on demand the amount distributed to that Lender, with interest for each day from and

  
 98 

	 	 
including the date the amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on
interbank compensation. 

  

	9.16	 Increased Costs, Etc. 

 

	(1)	 If any Change in Law from time to time shall: 

 

	 	(a)	 impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; 

  

	 	(b)	 subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Advance made by
it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect of this Agreement or any Advance, except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 9.17 and the imposition, or any change in the rate, of any Excluded Tax
payable by that Lender; or 

  

	 	(c)	 impose on any Lender or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement or any Advance made by that Lender; 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender under this Agreement (whether of principal, interest
or any other amount), then upon request of the Lender from time to time the Borrower will pay to that Lender an additional amount or amounts that will compensate the Lender for the additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

 

	(2)	 If any Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or
any lending office of the Lender or its holding company (or other Controlling Person), if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of
its holding company (or other Controlling Person), if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of the Lender or any Advance made by the Lender, to a level below that which the Lender or its holding company (or other Controlling
Person) could have achieved but for that Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company (or other Controlling Person) with respect to capital adequacy, each from time to time), then from
time to time the Borrower will pay to that Lender an additional amount or amounts that will compensate that Lender or its holding company (or other Controlling Person) for the reduction suffered. 

 

	(3)	 A certificate of a Lender specifying the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding
company (or other Controlling Person), as the case may be, as specified in this Section, including reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts determined based on methods of averaging and attribution in its sole and
absolute discretion, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent 

  
 99 

	 	 
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt of the certificate. 

 

	(4)	 Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand compensation, except that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months
before the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to the increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation, unless the Change in Law giving rise to the increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, in which case the nine month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect. 

  

	9.17	 Taxes 

  

	(1)	 Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of an Obligor under any Loan Document shall be made
without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by an Obligor or the Agent (as determined in the good faith discretion
of the Obligor or Agent, respectively), then the applicable Obligor or the Agent shall be entitled to make the deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after the deduction or withholding has been made (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section) the Agent or applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

 

	(2)	 The Obligors shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
Applicable Law or, at the option of the Agent, promptly reimburse the Agent for the payment of any Other Taxes. 

  

	(3)	 The Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Lead Arranger, Agent and each Lender, within ten
(10) days after demand, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Agent or that Lender or required to be
withheld or deducted from a payment to the Agent or that Lender and any reasonable expenses arising from or with respect to the Indemnified Taxes, whether or not they were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of the payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

  

	(4)	 Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for
(i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Obligors have not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and 

  
 100 

	 	 
without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the maintenance of the Register and (iii) any Excluded
Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set
off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 9.17(4).

  

	(5)	 As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by an Obligor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this
Section 9.17, the Obligor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the Governmental Authority evidencing payment, a copy of the return reporting the payment or other evidence of the payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent. 

  

	(6)	 Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of
the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which that jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, all properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law that will permit the payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, (a) any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent that
will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not that Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements, and (b) any Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing within five (5) Banking
Days of ceasing to be, or to be deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any successor provision. 

  

	(7)	 If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to FATCA Withholding Tax if that
Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United
States) and additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations relating to FATCA Withholding Tax and to determine that the Lender has
complied with its obligations relating to FATCA Withholding Tax or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from the payment. 

  
 101 

	(8)	 If any Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of
any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 9.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), or that, because of the indemnification, it has benefited from a reduction in Excluded Taxes
otherwise payable by it, it shall pay to the indemnifying Party an amount equal to the refund or reduction (but only to the extent of indemnification), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any net after Tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to any such refund). The indemnifying Party, upon the request of the indemnified Party, shall repay to the indemnified Party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 9.17(8) (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) if the indemnified Party is required to repay the refund or reduction to the Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.17(8), in no event will the
indemnified Party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.17(8) the payment of which would place the indemnified Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position
than the indemnified Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or reduction had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect
to such Tax had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to require any indemnified Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying Party or any
other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction. 

  

	9.18	 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders 

 

	(1)	 If any Lender requests compensation under Section 9.16, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 9.17, or it is unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain an Advance pursuant to Section 9.19, then the Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances or to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, doing so
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.16 or 9.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to
the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

  

	(2)	 If any Lender requests compensation under Section 9.16 or the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 9.17 and in each case the Lender has declined or is unable to comply with Section 9.18(1), if any FATCA Withholding Tax is
imposed on any payment to a Lender under or in connection with this Agreement (whether the payment is made directly or through another financial institution), if any Lender’s obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 9.19 or if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and 

  
 102 

	 	 
effort, upon ten (10) days’ notice to that Lender and the Agent, require the Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.2), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights under Sections 9.16, 9.17 and 11.5) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee
that will assume those obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts the assignment), provided that: 

  

	 	(a)	 the Borrower pays the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.2(1)(e); 

 

	 	(b)	 the Lender receives payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued
interest, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under the Loan Documents (including any breakage costs and amounts required to be paid under this Agreement as a result of prepayment to a Lender) from any assignee and/or the Borrower;

  

	 	(c)	 in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 9.16 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 9.17, the assignment will result in a reduction in future compensation or payments; 

  

	 	(d)	 any assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and 

 

	 	(e)	 in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the assignee consents to the applicable waiver, amendment or consent. 

  

	(3)	 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation or accept repayment if, before
completion, as a result of a waiver by the Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require the assignment and delegation or repayment cease to apply. 

 

	9.19	 Illegality 

If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it
is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Advance (or to maintain its obligation to make any Advance), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any particular rate, then, on notice by that Lender
to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of the Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to that determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of that notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from that Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if conversion would avoid the activity that is unlawful, convert any Advances. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the
Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if doing so will avoid the need for that notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of the Lender,
otherwise be materially disadvantageous to the Lender. 

  
 103 

	9.20	 Inability to Determine Rates, Etc. 

 

	(1)	 Notwithstanding Section 9.11(1), if the Required Lenders determine that (a) for any reason a
market for B/As does not exist at any time, (b) Lenders cannot for other reasons, after reasonable efforts, readily sell B/As or perform their other obligations under this Agreement with respect to B/As, (c) adequate and reasonable means
do not exist for determining the B/A Discount Rate applicable to an Advance by way of B/As, or (d) the B/A Discount Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to those Lenders of making or maintaining an Advance by way of B/As, then
the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the Borrower’s right to request acceptance of B/As shall be and remain suspended until the Required Lenders determine and the Agent notifies the Borrower and each Lender
that any condition causing the original determination no longer exists. 

  

	(2)	 If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining LIBOR for any requested LIBOR Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Advance, or that LIBOR for any requested LIBOR Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to those Lenders of
funding that Advance, then the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Advances shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders)
revokes the notice. Upon receipt of that notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing, conversion or continuation of LIBOR Advances or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted its request into a request for a borrowing
of Base Rate Advances in the amount specified in the request. 

 ARTICLE 10 

ADDITIONAL LENDERS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS 
  

	10.1	 Successors and Assigns 

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors
and assigns permitted by this Agreement, except that no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.4, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.5 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any Party shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns, sub-agents contemplated by this Agreement, Participants to the
extent provided in Section 10.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, any sub-agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

  
 104 

	10.2	 Assignments by Lenders 

 

	(1)	 Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it), provided that: 

  

	 	(a)	 except (i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) in the case of an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it or (iii) in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, in each case, the aggregate amount of
the Commitment being assigned (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding under the Commitment) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to the assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be
less than US $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent to a lower amount (each consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); 

  

	 	(b)	 each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitment assigned; 

  

	 	(c)	 any assignment must be approved by the Agent (which is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless:

  

	 	(i)	 in the case of an assignment of a Commitment relating to the Revolving Credit, the proposed assignee is
itself already a Revolving Lender; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 the proposed assignee is a bank whose senior, unsecured, non-credit
enhanced, long term debt is rated at least A3, A- or A low by at least two of Moody’s Investor Services Inc., Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and Dominion
Bond Rating Service Limited, respectively; 

  

	 	(d)	 any assignment must be approved by the Borrower (which is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
unless: 

  

	 	(i)	 the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender with the same type of Commitment; or 

 

	 	(ii)	 an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; or 

 

	 	(iii)	 the Agent has provided a request for approval of an assignment by registered mail to the Borrower and the
Borrower has not responded 

  
 105 

	 	 
within ten (10) Banking Days of receipt of such a request, in which case, approval by the Borrower will be deemed to have been granted for the assignment; 

 

	 	(e)	 the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee of US $3,000 and the Eligible Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver any administrative questionnaire required by the Agent. 

 

	(2)	 In addition to the other conditions specified in this Agreement, no assignment of rights and obligations of
a Defaulting Lender shall be effective until the parties to the assignment have made additional payments to the Agent in an amount sufficient, upon distribution of the payments as appropriate to (a) pay and satisfy in full all payment
liabilities then owed by the Defaulting Lender to the Agent and each Lender, with accrued interest, and (b) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances, including obligations under Section 9.1, in
accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Distribution of payments may be by outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including
funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignor and assignee hereby irrevocably consent.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any assignment of the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender becomes effective under Applicable Law without compliance with this Section 10.2(2), then the assignee shall be deemed to be a Defaulting
Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until compliance occurs. 

  

	(3)	 Subject to acceptance and recording by the Agent pursuant to Section 10.3, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee shall be a Party and, to the extent of the interest assigned by the Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, including the Security, and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by the Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, it shall cease to be a Party) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9.16, 9.20 and 11.5, and shall continue to be liable for any breach
by it of this Agreement and any other liability by reason of having been a Defaulting Lender, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring before the effective date of the assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.2 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by that Lender of a participation in those rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.4. Any
payment by an assignee to an assigning Lender in connection with an assignment or transfer shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrower or a new Advance to the Borrower. 

  
 106 

	10.3	 Register 

The Agent shall maintain at one of its offices in Vancouver, British Columbia or Toronto, Ontario a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to
the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  

	10.4	 Participations 

 

	(1)	 Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person, an Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of that Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it). However, (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other Parties for the performance
of its obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with that Lender in connection with its rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any payment by a Participant to a Lender
in connection with a sale of a participation shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrower or a new Advance to the Borrower. Each Lender shall be responsible for any repayment to the Agent required under Section 9.15(2) with
respect to any payment made by the Lender to its Participant(s). 

  

	(2)	 Subject to Section 10.4(3), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Sections 9.16 and 9.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.2. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 7.11 as though it were a Lender, provided the Participant agrees to be subject to Section 7.12 as though it were a Lender. 

  

	(3)	 A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 9.16 and 9.20 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to that Participant, unless the sale of the participation to the Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that
would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to that Participant and the Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to
comply with that Section as though it were a Lender. 

  

	10.5	 Certain Pledges 

Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
secure obligations of that Lender, but no pledge or 

  
 107 

	 	 
assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations under any Loan Document or substitute any pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a Party. 

ARTICLE 11 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  

	11.1	 Severability, Etc. 

If, in any jurisdiction, any provision of any Loan Document or its application to any circumstance is restricted, prohibited or
unenforceable, that provision shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of that restriction, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of the affected Loan Document, without affecting the
validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction and, if applicable, without affecting its application to other circumstances. 
  

	11.2	 Amendment, Supplement or Waiver 

No amendment, supplement or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, nor any consent to any departure by an Obligor from
any provision, shall in any event be effective unless it is in writing, makes express reference to the affected provision and is signed by the Agent and the applicable Lenders, or by the Agent with any approval of any applicable Lenders, all as
required by Sections 8.6(4), 8.6(5), 8.6(6) and 8.6(7), as applicable. It shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. No waiver or act or omission of the Agent or any Lender shall extend to or
be taken in any way to affect any subsequent Default or other matter or their resulting rights. 
  

	11.3	 Governing Law and Agent for Service 

 

	(1)	 Each of the Loan Documents, except for those that expressly provide otherwise, and any Dispute (whether in
contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, except for those that expressly provide otherwise, shall for all purposes be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of British
Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable in British Columbia. Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees that it will not commence any litigation or other proceeding against the Agent, any Lender or their respective Related
Parties relating to any Dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any forum other than the courts of the Province of British Columbia, and (b) submits, for itself and its
Property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia, and any appellate court from any of those courts, in any litigation or other proceeding based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such litigation or other proceeding may be heard and determined in those courts. Each Party
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any 

  
 108 

	 	 
other manner provided by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any litigation or
other proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Obligor or its Property in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any
objection that it may now or in the future have to the laying of venue of any litigation or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court of the Province of British Columbia. Each Party hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defence of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of litigation or other proceedings in any such court. 

 

	(2)	 Each Obligor other than the Borrower hereby nominates, constitutes and appoints the Borrower as its agent
for service, to act as such and as such to sue and be sued, plead and be impleaded in any court in British Columbia. This appointment shall be irrevocable without the written appointment of a substitute agent in British Columbia acceptable to the
Required Lenders. Service on the Borrower (or a substitute agent) of process or of papers and notices relating to proceedings in any court in British Columbia shall be sufficient service on all Obligors. 

 

	11.4	 Waiver of Jury Trial, Consequential Damages, Etc. 

 

	(1)	 Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may
have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated by it (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). 

 

	(2)	 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Obligors shall not assert, and hereby waive, any
claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for indirect, consequential, punitive, aggravated or exemplary damages (as opposed to direct damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement
or instrument contemplated by it (or any breach of it), the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Advance or the use of its proceeds. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated by them. 

 

	(3)	 Each Obligor agrees that none of the Agent or the Lenders shall have any liability to it in relation to any
due diligence investigations conducted by any of them in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or be under any obligation whatsoever to disclose to it any information received or facts disclosed by any investigations.
Each Obligor also agrees that it is not relying, will not rely, and will not be deemed, in any respect whatsoever, to have relied upon the facts received by and information disclosed to any of the Agent or the Lenders under or in connection with due
diligence investigations. 

  
 109 

	(4)	 Each Party (a) certifies that no Representative of any other person has represented, expressly or
otherwise, that the other person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (b) acknowledges that it and the other Parties have been induced to enter into the Loan Documents by, among other things, the
waivers and certifications in this Section. 

  

	11.5	 Expenses and Indemnity 

 

	(1)	 The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent, in connection with the syndication of the Credits, the
preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of their provisions (whether or not the transactions contemplated by them are consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with Advances, including those incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Obligations.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall promptly pay all invoices issued by legal counsel to the Agent and/or any Lender, as applicable, and any of them may (with the express prior consent of the Borrower) debit any account maintained by
the Borrower with them to pay invoices. 

  

	(2)	 The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent (and its sub-agents), each
Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each of whom is called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including
the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Obligor or other Person (except an Indemnitee) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of
(i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated by it, the performance or non-performance by the Parties of their respective obligations under any Loan
Document or the consummation or non-consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, (ii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of its proceeds, (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or release, spill, leakage, emission, deposit, discharge, leaching, migration or disposition of any Hazardous Material on or from any Property owned or operated by any Obligor, or any related remedial action taken by the Agent or Lender or
any breach of Applicable Law with respect thereto that is related in any way to any Obligor (including the assertion of any Lien under Applicable Law), or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to
any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by an Obligor and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party to it, provided that the indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that its losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from
its gross negligence or wilful misconduct or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Obligor against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of that Indemnitee’s obligations under any Loan Document, if the

  
 110 

	 	 
Obligor has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favour on that claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall it be
available in respect of matters specifically addressed in Sections 9.16, 9.17 and 11.5(1). 

  

	(3)	 All amounts due under this Section 11.5 shall be payable promptly after demand. A certificate of the
Agent or a Lender specifying the amount or amounts owing to the Agent, Lender or a sub-agent or Related Party, as the case may be, as specified in this Section, including reasonable detail of the basis of
calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  

	11.6	 Currency 

All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in the currency in which the obligation requiring payment arose. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, wherever this Agreement contemplates or requires the calculation of the equivalent in one currency of an amount expressed in another currency for a purpose that does not involve the actual purchase of
currency, the calculation shall be made on the basis of the Exchange Rate at the effective time of the calculation. 
  

	11.7	 Liability of Lenders 

The liability of the Lenders in respect of all matters relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is several and
not joint or joint and several. Without limiting that statement, the obligations of the Lenders to make Advances are limited to their respective Applicable Percentages of any Advance that is requested, and, in the aggregate, to their respective
Applicable Percentages of the total amount of each Credit. 
  

	11.8	 Currency Indemnity 

If a judgment or order is rendered by any court or tribunal for the payment of any amount owing to the Agent or any Lender
under any Loan Document or for the payment of damages in respect of any breach of any Loan Document, or under or in respect of a judgment or order of another court or tribunal for the payment of those amounts or damages, and the judgment or order is
expressed in a currency (“the Judgment Currency”) other than the currency payable under the relevant Loan Document (“the Agreed Currency”), the party against whom the judgment or order is made shall indemnify and
hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless against any deficiency in terms of the Agreed Currency in the amounts received by the Agent and the Lenders arising or resulting from any variation as between (a) the actual rate of exchange at which the
Agreed Currency is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purposes of the judgment or order, and (b) the actual rate of exchange at which the Agent or Lender is able to purchase the Agreed Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency
actually received by the Agent or Lender on the date of receipt. The indemnity in this Section shall constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Documents, shall apply irrespective of
any indulgence granted by the Agent or any Lender and shall be secured by the Security. 

  
 111 

	11.9	 Notices 

  

	(1)	 Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and
except as provided in Section 11.9(3)), all notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by
telecopier, email or other electronic communication to the email addresses or telecopier numbers specified on Schedule N or, if to a Lender, to it at its address or telecopier number specified in the Register or, if to an Obligor other than the
Borrower, in care of the Borrower. Those addresses shall apply to notices under all Loan Documents, unless otherwise expressly provided. 

  

	(2)	 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be
deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given on a Banking Day before 5:00 p.m. local time where the recipient is located, shall be deemed to have been
given at 9:00 a.m. on the next Banking Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 11.9(3), shall be effective as provided in that Section. 

 

	(3)	 Notices and other communications to the Lenders may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication
(including Debtdomain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system, e-mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, except that the
foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender of Advances to be made if the Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices relating to Advances by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its
discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, but approval of those procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

 

	(4)	 Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), except that if a notice or other communication is not sent before 5:00 p.m. on a Banking Day in the city where the recipient is located, the notice or communication shall be
deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Banking Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended
recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that the notice or communication is available and identifying the website address. 

 

	(5)	 Any Party may change its address or telecopier number for notices and other communications by notice to the
other Parties. 

  
 112 

	(6)	 Any method of communication contemplated in Section 11.9(3) (the “Platform”) is
provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent does not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in information that is distributed through the Platform. No warranty of any
kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made
by the Agent in connection with the Platform or information distributed through it. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to any Obligor, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct
or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the transmission of information through the Platform. 

 

	11.10	 Time of the Essence 

Time is of the essence of this Agreement. 
  

	11.11	 Further Assurances 

The Obligors shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly do, execute, deliver or cause to be done, executed or delivered all
further acts, documents and matters that may, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent (or the Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable), be necessary or desirable in order to fully perform and carry out the purpose and intent of the Loan Documents.

  

	11.12	 Term of Agreement 

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, it shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment and
performance in full in cash of all of the Obligations and the termination of all Commitments. The obligations of the Obligors in Sections 9.16, 9.17, 11.5 and 11.8 and the obligations of the Lenders in Section 8.7(3) shall continue for the
benefit of those to whom the obligations are owed notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the Commitments or any particular person’s role as Obligor, Agent or Lender. 

 

	11.13	 Counterparts, Facsimiles and Records 

 

	(1)	 Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts (and by different Parties in different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Except as provided in Article 4, this Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by the Agent and when the Agent has
received counterparts of this Agreement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other Parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or by sending a scanned or other copy by
electronic mail or similar means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of that Loan Document. 

  

	(2)	 The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of similar meaning in
any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the 

  
 113 

	 	 
keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper based recordkeeping
system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including Parts 2 and 3 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada), the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (Ontario) and
other similar federal or provincial laws based on the Uniform Electronic Commerce Act of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada or its Uniform Electronic Evidence Act, as the case may be. 

 

	(3)	 The Agent and Lenders may create and store copies of Loan Documents in any form as part of their business
records, including by microfilm, photocopy and electronic image. Copies may be held in place of original documents and substituted for original documents for any purpose. 

 

	11.14	 Treatment of Certain Information: Confidentiality 

 

	(1)	 Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of Information, except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to it, its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep the Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
authority), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other Party, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any action or
proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or
any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Derivative, credit-linked note or similar transaction relating to the
Borrower and the Obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any
Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than an Obligor. 

  

	(2)	 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received in connection
with any Loan Document from any Obligor relating to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that was available to the Agent or any Lender on a
non-confidential basis before such receipt. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if
the Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of the Information as the Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Agent may disclose to any agency or organization that assigns
standard identification numbers to loan facilities such basic information describing the Credits as is necessary to assign unique identifiers (and, if requested, supply a copy of this Agreement), it being

  
 114 

 
understood that the Person to whom disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to make available to the public only such Information as the
Person normally makes available in the course of its business of assigning identification numbers. 
  

	(3)	 In addition, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent may provide customary
information including details of the Obligors, the amount, term, purpose, pricing and repayment requirements of the Credits and the principal covenants contained in this Agreement to Loan Pricing Corporation and/or other recognized trade publishers
of information for general circulation in the loan market. 

  

	(4)	 Each Obligor also consents to: 

 

	 	(a)	 the holder of any Lien on any Property of the Obligor providing the Agent with a statement of the amount
required to obtain a release of the Lien and the Agent providing the holder with a redacted copy or details of the Obligor’s consent; and 

  

	 	(b)	 the Agent providing any judgment creditor or person who has an interest in Property of an Obligor that is
subject to the Security with a statement of the amount required to obtain a release of the Security. 

  

	11.15	 Entire Agreement 

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject
matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior correspondence, agreements, negotiations, discussions and understandings, whether written or oral. Except as expressly specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, there are no
representations, warranties, conditions or other agreements or acknowledgments, whether direct or collateral, express or implied, written or oral, statutory or otherwise, that form part of or affect the Loan Documents or the agreements referred to
in them, that induced any Party to enter into the Loan Documents or the agreements referred to in them, or on which reliance is placed by any Party. Without limiting the foregoing, the term sheet accepted by the Borrower and Scotiabank on
May 13, 2016 is cancelled and superseded. 
  

	11.16	 This Agreement to Govern 

If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any other Loan Document (except
any Intercreditor Agreement, which shall prevail as against this Agreement), the provisions of this Agreement shall govern to the extent necessary to remove the conflict or inconsistency. 

 

	11.17	 Language 

The Parties have required that the Loan Documents be in the English language, but without prejudice to documents that may from
time to time be drawn up in French only, or in both French and English. Les Parties ont exigé que cette convention et tout document de sûreté, hypothèque, contrat, document ou avis y afférent soient
rédigés en 

  
 115 

	 	 
langue anglaise, mais sans que cette disposition n’affecte toutefois la validité de tout tel document qui pourrait à l’occasion être rédigé en
français seulement ou à la fois en français et en anglais. 

  

	11.18	 Limitation Periods 

To the extent that any limitation period applies to any claim for payment of obligations or remedy for enforcement of
obligations under any Loan Document, the Obligors agree that: 
  

	 	(a)	 any limitation period is expressly excluded and waived entirely if permitted by Applicable Law;

  

	 	(b)	 if a complete exclusion and waiver of any limitation period is not permitted by Applicable Law, any
limitation period is extended to the maximum length permitted by Applicable Law; 

  

	 	(c)	 any limitation period applying to a Loan Document expressed to be payable on demand shall not begin before
an express demand for payment of the relevant obligations is made in writing by the Agent to the relevant Obligor; 

  

	 	(d)	 any applicable limitation period shall begin afresh upon any payment or other acknowledgment by any Obligor
of its relevant obligations; and 

  

	 	(e)	 each Loan Document is a “business agreement” as defined in the Limitations Act, 2002
(Ontario) if that Act applies to it. 

  

	11.19	 Services Provided and Conflicts of Interest 

 

	(1)	 The Lenders and Agent shall not be responsible for providing or arranging services to the Obligors except
providing and administering the Credits, respectively. The services of the Agent and Lenders do not include the provision of general corporate finance advisory services. The responsibility of the Agent and Lenders is solely contractual in nature and
they do not owe the Obligors any fiduciary duty as a result of the Loan Documents. 

  

	(2)	 The Obligors acknowledge that the Agent, the Lenders and/or one or more of their respective Affiliates may
now and in the future provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other Persons with whom the Obligors may have conflicting interests. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Agent,
the Lenders and their respective Affiliates will not disclose confidential information obtained from the Obligors in connection with the performance of services for others. Similarly, the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates have no
obligation to disclose the existence of or use for the Obligors’ benefit confidential information that they have obtained or may obtain from any other Person. 

 

	(3)	 The Obligors also acknowledge that the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates engage in
securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, the Agent, the 

  
 116 

	 	 
Lenders and their respective Affiliates may provide investment banking and other financial services to other Persons with which the Obligors may have commercial or other relationships, and/or
acquire, hold or sell, for their own accounts and the accounts of customers, the Obligors’ equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) and those of other Persons with which the
Obligors may have commercial or other relationships. All rights in respect of securities and financial instruments held by the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates or their respective customers, including any voting rights, will be
exercised by the holder of the rights in its sole discretion. 

  

	(4)	 The Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates are not responsible to provide the Obligors with
advice relating to legal, regulatory, accounting or tax matters. The Obligors acknowledge that (a) they have relied and will continue to rely on the advice of their own legal, regulatory, accounting and tax advisors for all matters relating to
the Credits and otherwise and (b) they have not received or relied upon advice from the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates or advisors regarding legal, regulatory, accounting or tax matters. 

 

	(5)	 The Obligors acknowledge that no client or near-client relationship has been or will be established between
the Obligors and any legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders as a result of their representation of the Agent or Lenders, including by reason of any confidential information regarding any Obligor being provided to legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders
or by reason of any Obligor paying or reimbursing the Agent or Lenders for fees, charges or disbursements of legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders. The Obligors also acknowledge that legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders shall not be prevented from
(a) continuing to act for the Agent and Lenders in connection with the Credits and the Loan Documents, including any enforcement of the Security, for any reason including any client or near-client relationship that may exist now or in the
future between legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders and any Obligor, or (b) acting for any other Person whose interests conflict with the interests of any Obligor unless the Obligors establish, without the benefit of any presumption, that
counsel has provided the other Person, to the detriment of the Obligors, with confidential information regarding the Obligors that they have received as a result of acting as legal counsel to the Agent or Lenders. 

 

	(6)	 Nothing in this Section 11.19 affects the rights of any Obligor under or in connection with agreements
or arrangements other than the Loan Documents to which any Obligor or any of the Agent, the Lenders and/or one or more of their respective Affiliates or legal counsel are parties. 

 

	11.20	 Date of Agreement 

This Agreement may be referred to as being dated June 26, 2017 or as of June 26, 2017, notwithstanding the actual
date of execution.

(v) subject to Section 9 hereof, amend the terms and conditions of any Award or Award Agreement and accelerate the vesting and/or exercisability of any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or waive any restrictions relating to any Award; provided, however, that except for adjustments pursuant to Section 4(c) of the Plan, in no event may any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan be: (w) amended to decrease the Exercise Price or grant price thereof, (x) cancelled in conjunction with the grant of any new Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower Exercise Price or grant price, (y) cancelled in exchange for cash, the grant of any other form of Award or other property at a time when the Exercise Price of the Stock Option or the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right is greater than the current Fair Market Value of a Share, or (z) otherwise subject to any action that would be treated, for accounting purposes, as a “repricing” of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, unless such amendment, cancellation, repurchase or action is approved by the stockholders of the Company .

 

(vi) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances the exercise price of Awards may be paid in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited or suspended;

3

 

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons, including without limitation, the Company, its Affiliates, shareholders, Eligible Individuals and any holder or beneficiary of any Award.

 

(b) Action by the Committee; Delegation.  Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may delegate all or any part of its duties and powers under the Plan to one or more persons, including Directors or a committee of Directors, subject to such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Committee shall not delegate its powers and duties under the Plan with regard to officers or directors of the Company or any Affiliate who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act and provided, further, that any such delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

 

(c) Power and Authority of the Board.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause any Award or transaction to become subject to (or lose an exemption under) the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Board may, at any time and from time to time, without any further action of the Committee, exercise the powers and duties of the Committee under the Plan. To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board conflicts with action taken by the Committee, the Board action shall control.

 

SECTION 4. Shares Available for Awards

 

(a) Shares Available.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) of the Plan, the aggregate number of Shares that may be the subject of outstanding Awards and issued under the Plan shall be 125,000.  Shares issuable under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares re-acquired and held in treasury.

 

(b) Accounting for Awards.  For purposes of this Section 4, if an Award entitles the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares, the number of Shares covered by such Award or to which such Award relates shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan. Any Shares that are used by a Participant as full or partial payment to the Company of the purchase price relating to an Award, or to satisfy applicable tax obligations relating to an Award, shall again be available for granting Awards under the Plan. In addition, if any Shares covered by an Award or to which an Award relates are not purchased or are forfeited, or if an Award otherwise terminates without delivery of any Shares, then the number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award, to the extent of any such failure to purchase, forfeiture or termination, shall again be available for granting Awards under the Plan.

 

(c) Adjustments.  In the event of any change in corporate capitalization (including, but not limited to, a change in the number of Shares outstanding), such as a stock split or a corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, separation, including a spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company (including any extraordinary cash or stock dividend), any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, the Committee or Board shall make such substitution or adjustments in the aggregate number and kind of shares

reserved for issuance under the Plan, in the maximum limitation upon Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards to be granted to any Participant, in the number, kind and Exercise Price of shares subject to outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in the number and kind of shares subject to other outstanding Awards granted under the Plan and/or such other equitable substitutions or adjustments as it may determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion (including, without limitation, the provision of an amount in cash in consideration for any such Awards); provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with any Disaffiliation of a subsidiary of the Company, the Committee shall have the authority to arrange for the assumption or replacement of Awards with new awards based on shares of the affected subsidiary or by an affiliate of an entity that controls the subsidiary following the Disaffiliation. For purposes hereof, “Disaffiliation” of a subsidiary shall mean the subsidiary’s ceasing to be a subsidiary of the Company for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of a public offering, spin-off, sale or other distribution or transfer by the Company of the stock of the subsidiary). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Award is otherwise considered to be deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, any adjustment to such Award will comply with Section 409A of the Code (including current and future guidance issued by the Department of Treasury and/or the Internal Revenue Service).

 

SECTION 5. Eligibility

 

Any Eligible Individual shall be eligible to be designated a Participant. In determining which Eligible Individuals shall receive an Award and the terms of any Award, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services to be rendered by the respective Eligible Individuals, their potential contributions to the success of the Company or such other factors as the Committee, in its discretion, shall deem relevant.  Awards will only be granted to an Eligible Individual as a material inducement to such Eligible Individual to become an employee of the Company or one of its Affiliates (including in connection with a corporate transaction) or to be rehired by the Company or one of its Affiliates following a bona fide interruption of employment.  Any grant of an Award shall not become effective unless and until the Eligible Individual actually becomes an employee of the Company or one of its Affiliates.

 

SECTION 6. Awards

 

(a) Stock Options.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Options (which may only be Non-Qualified Stock Options) to Eligible Individuals with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine:

 

(i) Exercise Price.  The purchase price per Share purchasable under a Stock Option (the “Exercise Price”) shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that such Exercise Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Stock Option.

 

(ii) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall be more than 10 years from the date of grant.

 

(iii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which a Stock Option may be exercised in whole or in part and the method or methods by which, and the form or forms (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the 

 

5

 

applicable Exercise Price) in which payment of the Exercise Price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made.

 

(b) Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Individuals subject to the terms of the Plan. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder upon exercise the right to receive, as determined by the Committee, cash in an amount equal to, or a number of Shares whose Fair Market Value is equal to, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise (or, if the Committee shall so determine in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, at any time during a specified period not more than 30 days before or after the date of exercise) over (B) the per Share grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as determined by the Committee, which grant price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the grant price, term, methods of exercise, dates of exercise, methods of settlement and any other terms and conditions (including conditions or restrictions on the exercise thereof) of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Committee, provided that in no event shall the term of a Stock Appreciation Right be longer than ten years.

 

(c) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Individuals with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine:

 

(i) Restrictions.  Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on transfer, forfeiture conditions, limitations on the right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property with respect thereto), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise as the Committee may deem appropriate.

 

(ii) Stock Certificates; Delivery of Shares.

 

(A) Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of such Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the applicable Award Agreement and possible forfeiture of such Shares of Restricted Stock. The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing such Shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Award of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award.

 

(B) In the case of Restricted Stock Units, no Shares or other property shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted. Upon the lapse or waiver of restrictions and the restricted period relating to Restricted Stock Units (or at such later time as may be determined by the Committee), Shares or other cash or property shall be issued to the holder of the Restricted Stock Units, and any Shares issued shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates.

 

(iii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon a Participant’s termination of employment (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) during the 

 

6

 

applicable restriction period, all applicable Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units at such time subject to restriction shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interest of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.

 

(d) Performance Awards.  Any Award may be granted as a performance Award if the Committee establishes one or more measures of corporate, business unit or individual performance which must be attained, and the performance period over which the specified performance is to be attained, as a condition to the grant, vesting, exercisability, lapse of restrictions and/or settlement in cash or Shares of such Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Performance Goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any performance Award granted, the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any performance Award and any other terms and conditions of any performance Award shall be determined by the Committee.

 

(e) Dividend Equivalents.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Individuals under which the Participant shall be entitled to receive payments (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property as determined in the discretion of the Committee) equivalent in value to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company to holders of Shares with respect to a number of Shares determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan, such Dividend Equivalents may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, but no right to a Dividend Equivalent shall be contingent, directly or indirectly, upon the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

 

(f) Other Stock Grants.  The Committee is hereby authorized, subject to the terms of the Plan, to grant to Eligible Individuals Shares without restrictions thereon as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan.

 

(g) Other Stock-Based Awards.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Eligible Individuals, subject to the terms of the Plan, such other Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan. Shares or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 6(g) shall be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property or any combination thereof), as the Committee shall determine, the value of which consideration, as established by the Committee, shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares or other securities as of the date such purchase right is granted.

 

(h) General.

 

(i) Consideration for Awards.  Awards may be granted for no cash consideration or for any cash or other consideration as determined by the Committee and required by applicable law.

 

(ii) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with or in substitution for any other Award or any award granted under any plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted under any such other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

 

7

 

(iii) Forms of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or an Affiliate upon the grant, exercise or settlement of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Committee shall determine (including cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property or any combination thereof); provided, however, that such payments or transfers shall not be in the form of promissory notes. Such payments or transfers may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend Equivalents with respect to installment or deferred payments.

 

(iv) Limits on Transfer of Awards. No Award (other than Other Stock Grants) and no right under any such Award shall be transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and the Company shall not be required to recognize any attempted assignment of such rights by any Participant; provided, however, that, if so determined by the Committee, a Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Participant and receive any property distributable with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant; and provided, further, that, if so determined by the Committee, a Participant may transfer a Non-Qualified Stock Option to any Family Member (as such term is defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 (or successor to such Instructions or such Form)) at any time that such Participant holds such Stock Option, whether directly or indirectly or by means of a trust or partnership or otherwise, provided that the Participant may not receive any consideration for such transfer, the Family Member may not make any subsequent transfers other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and the Company receives written notice of such transfer. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, each Award or right under any such Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no Award or right under any such Award may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or other encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.

 

(v) Term of Awards.  Subject to Sections 6(a)(ii) and 6(b) of the Plan, the term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee.

 

(vi) Restrictions. All Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, applicable federal or state securities laws and regulatory requirements, and the Committee may direct appropriate stop transfer orders and cause other legends to be placed on the certificates for such Shares or other securities to reflect such restrictions.

 

SECTION 7. Change in Control

 

(a) Impact of Event.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in any Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply:

 

(i) Continuation, Assumption or Replacement of Awards.  In the event of a Change in Control that is a Corporate Transaction (as defined in Section 7(b)(iii) below), if the corporation

 

8

 

resulting from the Corporate Transaction (as described in Section 7(b)(iii) below and referred to as the “Surviving Entity”) agrees to continue, assume or replace Awards outstanding as of the date of the Corporate Transaction (with such adjustments as may be required by Section 4(c) above), then such Awards or replacements therefor shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms, subject to Section 7(a)(iv) below. The Surviving Entity may elect to continue, assume or replace only some Awards or portions of Awards. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(i), an Award shall be considered assumed or replaced if, in connection with the Corporate Transaction and in a manner consistent with Code Section 409A, either (A) the contractual obligations represented by the Award are expressly assumed by the Surviving Entity with appropriate adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to the Award and the exercise price thereof that preserves the intrinsic value of the Award existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction, or (B) the Participant has received a comparable equity-based award that preserves the intrinsic value of the Award existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction and is subject to substantially similar terms and conditions as the Award.

 

(ii) Acceleration.  If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not continued, assumed or replaced in connection with a Corporate Transaction, then (A) all outstanding Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Awards shall become fully exercisable for such period of time prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction as is deemed fair and equitable by the Committee, and shall terminate at the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, (B) all other forms of Awards then outstanding shall fully vest immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, and (C) any Performance Goals applicable to such other forms of Awards will be deemed to have been satisfied at the target level of performance specified in connection with the applicable Award. The Committee shall provide written notice of the period of accelerated exercisability of Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Awards to all affected Participants, and any exercise of such accelerated Awards shall be effective only immediately before, and shall be conditioned upon, the consummation of the Corporate Transaction. If a Change in Control described in Section 7(b)(iv) below occurs, then unless the Committee provides otherwise at the time of the Change in Control, outstanding Awards shall be dealt with as provided in clauses (A) and (B) of this paragraph, with the consummation of the dissolution or liquidation being deemed the “effective time of the Corporate Transaction” for these purposes.

 

(iii) Payment for Awards.  If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not continued, assumed or replaced in connection with a Corporate Transaction, then the Committee may terminate some or all of such outstanding Awards, in whole or in part, at or immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction in exchange for payments to the holders as provided in this Section 7(a)(iii). The Committee will not be required to treat all Awards similarly for purposes of this Section 7(a)(iii). The payment for any Award or portion thereof terminated shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Committee) of the consideration that would otherwise be received in the Corporate Transaction for the number of Shares subject to the Award or portion thereof being terminated, over (B) the aggregate exercise price (if any) for the Shares subject to such Award or portion thereof being terminated. If there is no excess, such Award may be terminated without payment to the affected Participant. Payment of any amount under this Section 7(a)(iii) shall be made in such form, on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Committee determines in its discretion, which may or may not be the same as the form, terms and conditions applicable to payments to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Corporate Transaction, and may, in the Committee’s discretion, include subjecting such payments to vesting conditions comparable to those of the Award surrendered, subjecting such payments to escrow or holdback terms comparable to those imposed upon the 

 

9

 

Company’s shareholders under the Corporate Transaction, or calculating and paying the present value of payments that would otherwise be subject to escrow or holdback terms.

 

(iv) Termination After a Change in Control.  If, within 24 months after a Change in Control (A) described in Section 7(b)(i) or 7(b)(ii) below or (B) that is a Corporate Transaction and in connection with which outstanding Awards are continued, assumed or replaced as described in Section 7(a)(i), a Participant experiences an involuntary termination of employment for reasons other than Cause (as defined in Section 7(c) below), then (i) outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights issued to the Participant that are not yet fully exercisable shall immediately become exercisable in full and shall remain exercisable in accordance with their terms, (ii) all other forms of outstanding Awards issued to the Participant will become immediately fully vested and non-forfeitable; and (iii) any Performance Goals applicable to such other forms of Awards will be deemed to have been satisfied at the target level of performance specified in connection with the applicable Award.

 

(b) Definition of Change in Control.  For purposes of the Plan, and unless otherwise provided in an applicable Award Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean the happening of any of the following events:

 

(i) An acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (1) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (2) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); excluding, however, the following: (1) Any acquisition directly from the Company, other than an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege unless the security being so converted was itself acquired directly from the Company, (2) Any acquisition by the Company, (3) Any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any entity controlled by the Company, or (4) Any acquisition pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (1), (2) and (3) of subsection (iii) of this Section 7(b); or

 

(ii) A change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (such Board shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, for purposes of this Section 7(b), that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the Effective Date, whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; but, provided, further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board shall not be so considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or

 

(iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (“Corporate Transaction”); excluding, however, such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who are the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock 

 

10

 

and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) no Person (other than the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Corporate Transaction, and (3) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction; or

 

(iv) The approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

(c) ) Definition of Cause.  For purposes of this Section 7, “Cause” means what the term is defined to mean in a then-effective written agreement (including an Award Agreement) between a Participant and the Company or any Affiliate or, in the absence of any such then effective agreement or definition, means (i) a Participant’s continued failure to substantially perform his or her duties with the Company or an Affiliate after written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant, (ii) a Participant’s conviction of a crime (including a misdemeanor) that, in the Company’s determination, impairs the Participant’s ability to perform his or her duties with the Company or an Affiliate, (iii) a Participant’s violation of any policy of the Company or an Affiliate that the Company deems material, (iv) a Participant’s violation of any securities law, rule or regulation that the Company deems material, (v) a Participant’s engagement in conduct that, in the Company’s determination, exposes the Company or an Affiliate to civil or regulatory liability or injury to their reputations, (vi) a Participant’s engagement in conduct that would subject the Participant to statutory disqualification pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or (vii) a Participant’s gross or willful misconduct, as determined by the Company.

 

SECTION 8. Income Tax Withholding

 

No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Participant for federal or foreign income tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, be entitled to take such action and establish such procedures as it deems appropriate to withhold or collect all applicable payroll, withholding, income or other taxes from such Participant, including without limitation withholding applicable tax from Participant’s cash compensation paid by the Company or an Affiliate. In order to assist a Participant in paying all or a portion of the federal, state, local and foreign taxes to be withheld or collected upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of 

 

11

 

restrictions relating to) an Award, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it may adopt, may permit the Participant to satisfy such tax obligation by (i) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the Shares or other property otherwise to be delivered upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes or (ii) delivering to the Company Shares or other property other than Shares issuable upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes. Any such election must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

 

SECTION 9. Amendment and Termination

 

(a) Amendments to the Plan.  The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made that requires stockholder approval under the rules or regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, any other securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. that are applicable to the Company.

 

(b) Amendments to Awards.  Subject to Section 3(a)(v), the Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company under any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively. Except as otherwise provided herein or in an Award Agreement, the Committee may not amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively, if such action would adversely affect the rights of the holder of such Award, without the consent of the Participant or holder or beneficiary thereof. The Committee may unilaterally amend any Award, and it will be conclusively presumed that such action will not adversely affect the rights of the holder of such Award, if such amendment is determined by the Committee to be necessary to cause the Award to comply with applicable laws, including Code Section 409A, stock exchange rules or any compensation recovery policy as provided in Section 10(p).

 

(c) Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies.  The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect.

 

SECTION 10. General Provisions

 

(a) No Rights to Awards.  No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Individuals or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect to different Participants.

 

(b) Award Agreements.  No Participant will have rights under an Award granted to such Participant unless and until an Award Agreement shall have been duly executed on behalf of the Company and, if requested by the Company, signed by the Participant. In the event that any provision of an Award Agreement conflicts with or is inconsistent in any respect with the terms of the Plan as set forth herein or subsequently amended, the terms of the Plan shall control.

 

(c) No Rights of Stockholders.  Except with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock as to which the Participant has been granted the right to vote, neither a Participant nor the Participant’s legal representative shall be, or have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable to such Participant upon the exercise or payment of any Award, in 

 

12

 

whole or in part, unless and until such Shares have been issued in the name of such Participant or such Participant’s legal representative without restrictions thereto.

 

(d) No Limit on Other Compensation Plans or Arrangements.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

(e) No Right to Employment.  The Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment, and adoption of the Plan or the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it affect in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate such employment at any time, with or without cause. In addition, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or any Award, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.

 

(f) Governing Law.  The Plan and all Awards granted and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws thereof.

 

(g) Severability.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(h) Application to Participants Outside the United States.  In the event an Award is granted to a Participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States and who is not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan as they pertain to such individual to comply with applicable foreign law.

 

(i) No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and an Eligible Individual or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

 

(j) Other Benefits.  No compensation or benefit awarded to or realized by any Participant under the Plan shall be included for the purpose of computing such Participant’s compensation under any compensation-based retirement, disability, or similar plan of the Company unless required by law or otherwise provided by such other plan.

 

(k) No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

 

13

 

(l) Headings.  Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

 

(m) Section 16 Compliance.  The Plan is intended to comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 or any successor provision, as in effect from time to time, and in all events the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the requirements of Rule 16b-3. If any Plan provision does not comply with Rule 16b-3 as hereafter amended or interpreted, the provision shall be deemed inoperative. The Board, in its absolute discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan with respect to persons who are officers or directors subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Eligible Individuals.

 

(n) Conditions Precedent to Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise or payment of the Exercise Price or purchase price relating to an Award unless such exercise or payment and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the requirements of any applicable stock exchange and the Delaware General Corporation Law. As a condition to the exercise or payment of the Exercise Price or purchase price relating to such Award, the Company may require that the person exercising or paying the Exercise Price or purchase price represent and warrant that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation and warranty is required by law.

 

(o) Conformance to Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent that any Award constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the following provisions shall apply notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan:

 

(i) If such Award provides for a change in the time or form of payment of such Award upon a Change in Control of the Company, no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred upon an event described in Section 7(b) of the Plan unless such event would also constitute a change in ownership or effective control of, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of, the Company under Section 409A of the Code.

 

(ii) If any amount is payable under such Award upon a termination of employment or other service, a termination of employment or other service will be deemed to have occurred only at such time as the Participant has experienced a “separation from service” as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A.

 

(iii) If any amount shall be payable with respect to any such Award as a result of a Participant’s “separation from service” at such time as the Participant is a “specified employee,” then no payment shall be made, except as permitted under Code Section 409A, prior to the first day of the seventh (7th) calendar month beginning after the Participant’s separation from service (or the date of his or her earlier death). The Company may adopt a “specified employee identification policy” which specifies the identification date, the effective date of any change in the key employee group, compensation definition and other variables that are relevant in identifying specified employees, and which may include an alternative method of identifying specified employees consistent with the regulations under Code Section 409A. In the absence of any such policy or policy provision, for

purposes of the above, the “identification date” is each December 31st, and an employee who satisfies the above conditions will be considered to be a “specified employee” from April 1st following the identification date to March 31st of the following year, and the compensation and other variables, and special rules for corporate events and special rules relating to nonresident aliens, that is necessary in identifying specified employees will be determined and applied in accordance with the defaults specified in the regulations under Code Section 409A. Any Specified Employee Identification Policy will apply uniformly to all nonqualified deferred compensation plans subject to Code Section 409A that are maintained by the Company or an Affiliate.

 

To the extent the Committee elects to exercise its discretion to permit or require a Participant to defer receipt of cash or Shares that would otherwise be due to him or her under the Plan upon the vesting or settlement of any Award, such deferral shall occur in accordance with a written plan, rules or procedures adopted for that purpose by the Committee. Any such plan, rules or procedures will be intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, including those with respect to the time when a deferral election may be made, the period of the deferral and the events that would result in the payment of the deferred amount.

 

(p) Compensation Recovery Policy.  Awards and any compensation associated therewith may be made subject to forfeiture, recovery by the Company or other action pursuant to any compensation recovery policy adopted by the Board or the Committee at any time, including in response to the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law. Any Award Agreement evidencing an outstanding Award may be unilaterally amended by the Committee to comply with any such compensation recovery policy.

 

SECTION 11. Term of the Plan

 

The Plan will become effective on the Effective Date, and will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date or any earlier date of discontinuation or termination established pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Committee provided for hereunder with respect to the Plan and any Awards, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond the termination of the Plan.
