Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the determination of the Majority Lenders acting reasonably a market for Bankers' Acceptances does not exist at any time, or the Lenders collectively cannot for other reasons readily sell Bankers' Acceptances or perform their other obligations under this Agreement with respect to Bankers' Acceptances, then upon at least two (2) Business Days' written notice by the Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower's right to request Accommodation by way of Bankers' Acceptances shall be and remain suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrower that any condition causing such determination no longer exists.

	All funds received by the Agent pursuant to Subsection 2. 7(e) shall be held by the Agent for set-off on the maturity date of the Bankers' Acceptance against the liability of the Borrower to the Lender in respect of such Bankers' Acceptance and, until then, shall be invested from time to time in such form of investment at the Branch designated by the Borrower and approved by the Agent, for a term corresponding to the Maturity Date of the applicable Bankers' Acceptance and shall bear interest at the rate payable by the Agent on deposits of similar currency, amount and maturity.

	(a)
	LIBOR Loans shall only be made available to the Borrower to the extent the Agent determines (which determination shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive and binding) that U.S. Dollars are available to the Lenders on the London interbank eurocurrency market. The Agent will use all reasonable efforts to coordinate the obtaining of U.S. Dollars on the London interbank eurocurrency market and to quote LIBOR Rates on request of the Borrower from time to time. If at any time prior to the proposed commencement of a LIBOR Interest Period the Agent shall determine (which determination shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive and binding) that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank eurocurrency market or the position of the Majority Lenders therein (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate to be applicable during such LIBOR Interest Period, or (ii) U.S. Dollars for such LIBOR Interest Period are not readily available to the Lenders, as the case may be, in the London interbank eurocurrency market, then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower prior to 10:30 a.m. on the day which is two (2) Business Days in advance of the proposed commencement of such LIBOR Interest Period, and such Loan, if not then outstanding as a LIBOR Loan, shall not be made and, if then outstanding as a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall then give a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.4 converting the LIBOR Loan on the expiration of the then applicable LIBOR Interest Period to another Accommodation.

	The Borrower shall give the Agent notice in writing not later than 10:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the expiry of the LIBOR Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan specifying the new LIBOR Interest Period (if the LIBOR Loan is to be renewed) or the Accommodation into which the LIBOR Loan will be converted on such expiry.

		
	(c)
	If no notice is given by the Borrower as provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above, the LIBOR Loan will be automatically converted on the expiration of the then applicable LIBOR Interest Period to a U.S. Base Rate Loan, without prejudice to the Lenders' rights in respect of the failure to give the notice and whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred, in the principal amount of the funds required to be provided to the Agent for the account of the Lenders pursuant to this Section.

		
	(d)
	If any LIBOR Loan is outstanding on the Demand Date or the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall on such date pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Branch in U.S. Dollars an amount equal to the principal amount of such LIBOR Loan.

		
	(e)

LEGAL_l:28867748.6

-22-

the Agent on deposits of similar currency, amount and maturity. The balance of all such funds (together with interest thereon) held by the Agent will be applied to repayment of all debts and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement and the Credit Documents and following repayment of all such debts and liabilities any amount remaining shall be paid to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

	(ii)
	each Lender shall deliver its share of the Borrowing to the Agent's Account at the Branch not later than 11 :00 a.m. on the Borrowing Date;

		
	(iii)
	when the Agent determines that all the conditions precedent to a Borrowing specified in this Agreement have been met, it shall advance to the Borrower the amount delivered by each Lender by crediting the Borrower's Account, but if the conditions precedent to the Borrowing are not met by 2:30 p.m. on the Borrowing Date, the Agent shall return the funds to the Lenders or invest them in an overnight investment as orally instructed by each Lender until such time as the LIBOR Loan is advanced; and

		
	(iv)
	if the Agent determines that the amount of a Lender's Proportionate Share of the LIBOR Loan would not be a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$100,000), the amount to be advanced by that Lender may be increased or reduced by the Agent in its sole discretion to the nearest whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$100,000).

		
	2.10
	Safekeeping of Drafts

The responsibility of the Agent and the Lenders in respect of the safekeeping of Drafts, Bankers' Acceptances and other bills of exchange which are delivered to any of them hereunder shall be limited to the exercise of the same degree of care which such party gives to its own property, provided that such party shall not be deemed to be an insurer thereof.

Accommodation shall be repaid by the Borrower to the Agent or a Lender as required under this Agreement in the currency in which such Accommodation was obtained.

	impose, modify or make applicable any capital adequacy, reserve, assessment, special deposit or loans or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or Loans or other Accommodation, credit facilities or commitments made available by, or any other acquisition of funds by, the Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to impose or increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any part of the Credit Facilities or any Accommodation or to reduce any amount receivable by the Lender under this Agreement with respect thereto, then, in any such case, the 

LEGAL_l:28867748.6

-31-

Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the relevant Lender within thirty (30) days after the date of demand by the Agent such additional amounts necessary to fully compensate the Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall promptly upon receipt of particulars from the relevant Lender notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which the Lender has become so entitled and provide the Borrower with an explanation of the manner in which the liability of the Borrower under this Section has been determined. A certificate of the Lender as to any such additional amounts payable to it shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due.
		
	6.7
	General Indemnity

	(a)
	any Environmental Matter, Environmental Liability or Environmental Proceeding; and

		
	(b)
	any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or re-employing deposits from which such funds were obtained, which the Agent or Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

		
	(i)
	failure by the Borrower to make payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan;

		
	(ii)
	failure by the Borrower in proceeding with a Borrowing after the Borrower has given a Borrowing Notice;

		
	(iii)
	failure by the Borrower in repaying a Borrowing after the Borrower has given a notice of repayment;

		
	(iv)

Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Agent under or in connection with the Agreement, whether in the good faith exercise of any discretion expressly granted to the Agent or otherwise, except for actions or omissions arising from its or their own negligence or wilful misconduct. With respect to its Commitment, the Lender acting as Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender, and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it as Agent hereunder.
		
	12.3
	Failure of Lender to Fund

		
	(a)
	Unless the Agent has actual knowledge that a Lender has not made or will not make available to the Agent for value on a Borrowing Date the applicable amount required from such Lender pursuant to Article 2, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that such amount has been or will be received from such Lender when so due and the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact received by the Agent from such Lender on such Borrowing Date and the Agent has made available a corresponding amount to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date as aforesaid, such Lender shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the rate per annum then in use at the Branch as a syndicate lender late payment rate, multiplied by (ii) the amount that should have been paid to the Agent by such Lender on such Borrowing Date and was not, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed from 

LEGAL_l:28867748.6

-44-

and including such Borrowing Date to but excluding the date on which the amount is received by the Agent from such Lender and the denominator of which is three hundred and sixty-five (365). A certificate of the Agent containing details of the amount owing by a Lender under this Section shall be binding and conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If any such amount is not in fact received by the Agent from such Lender on such Borrowing Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover from the Borrower, on demand, the related amount made available by the Agent to the Borrower as aforesaid together with interest thereon at the applicable rate per annum payable by the Borrower hereunder.
		
	(b)
	Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 12.3(a), if any Lender fails to make available to the Agent its Proportionate Share of any Advance (such Lender being herein called the "Defaulting Lender"), the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such failure by the Defaulting Lender to the other Lenders. The Agent shall then forthwith give notice to the other Lenders that any Lender may make available all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender's share of such Advance in the place of the Defaulting Lender, but in no way shall any other Lender or the Agent be obliged to do so. If more than one Lender gives notice that it is prepared to make funds available in the place of a Defaulting Lender in such circumstances and the aggregate of the funds which such Lenders (herein collectively called the "Contributing Lenders" and individually called the "Contributing Lender") are prepared to make available exceeds the amount of the Advance which the Defaulting Lender failed to make, then each Contributing Lender shall be deemed to have given notice that it is prepared to make available a portion of such Advance based on the Contributing Lenders' relative Proportionate Shares. If any Contributing Lender makes funds available in the place of a Defaulting Lender in such circumstances, then the Defaulting Lender shall pay to any Contributing Lender making the funds available in its place, forthwith on demand any amount advanced on its behalf together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to such Advance from the date of advance to the date of payment, against payment by the Contributing Lender making the funds available of all interest received in respect of the Advance from the Borrower. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent its Proportionate Share of any Advance as required herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make available to the Agent its Proportionate Share of any Advance as required herein.

		
	12.4
	Payments by the Borrower

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement as among the Lenders, all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be made to and received by the Agent and shall be distributed by the Agent to the Lenders as soon as possible upon receipt by the Agent. Subject to any other provision of this Agreement concerning the distribution of payments, the Agent shall cause distribution of:
		
	(a)
	payments of interest in accordance with each Lender's Advanced Share of the Advances to which the payment relates;

		
	(b)
	repayments of principal in accordance with each Lender's Advanced Share of the Advances to which the payment relates;

LEGAL_l:28867748.6

-45-

		
	(c)
	payments of standby fees in accordance with Section 4.3;

		
	(d)
	all other payments including, without limitation, amounts received upon realization, in accordance with each Lender's Proportionate Share; provided, however, that with respect to proceeds of realization, no Lender shall receive an amount in excess of the amounts owing to it in respect of the Accommodations.

Subject to Section 12.5, 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 (i) the rate per annum then in use at the Branch as a syndicate lender late payment rate, multiplied by (ii) the Lender's share of the amount received by the Agent from the Borrower and not so distributed, multiplied by (iii) 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 such Lender and the denominator of which is three hundred and sixty-five (365).
		
	12.5
	Payments by Agent

		
	(a)
	For greater certainty, the following provisions shall apply to any and all payments made by the Agent to the Lenders hereunder:

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

		
	(ii)
	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 other than such Lender's share of that amount which is actually received by the Agent;

		
	(iii)
	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 (other than a payment of principal) by the Borrower relates, such Lender's entitlement to such payment shall be reduced in proportion to the length of time such Lender's share of the Advance or such Lender's Commitment, as the case may be, has actually been outstanding;

		
	(iv)
	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 such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding and conclusive; and

		
	(v)
	upon request, the Agent shall deliver a statement detailing any of the payments to the Lenders referred to herein.

LEGAL_l:28867748.6

-46-

		
	(b)
	Unless the Agent has actual knowledge that the Borrower has not made or will not make a payment to the Agent for value on the date in respect of which the Borrower has notified the Agent that the payment will be made, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that such payment has been or will be received from the Borrower when due and the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to), in reliance upon such assumption, pay the Lenders corresponding amounts. If the payment by the Borrower is in fact not received by the Agent on the required date and the Agent has made available corresponding amounts to the Lenders, the Borrower shall, without limiting its other obligations under this Agreement, indemnify the Agent against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on or incurred by the Agent as a result. A certificate of the Agent with respect to any amount owing by the Borrower under this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owing in the absence of manifest error. The Agent shall be entitled to recover from each Lender to which a payment is made in reliance on the expectation of payment from the Borrower in accordance with this Section, the full amount of such payment that is not recovered from the Borrower, together with interest at the rate per annum then in use at the Branch as a syndicate lender late payment rate, from the date on which payment is made by the Agent to the date on which repayment is made by the Lender receiving such payment.

		
	12.6
	Direct Payments

The Lenders agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, all sums received by a Lender relating to this Agreement whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off or compensation or by counterclaim, cross-action or otherwise, shall be shared by each Lender so that the ultimate exposure of each Lender is in accordance with its Advanced Share of all Advances under this Credit Facility, and each Lender undertakes to do all such things as may be reasonably required to give full effect to this Section, including without limitation, the purchase from other Lenders of their proportionate interest in the Borrowings by the Lender who has received an amount in excess of its Proportionate Share of amounts advanced under this Credit Facility as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess amount rateably with the other Lenders to the extent of their Advanced Share of any Advances under this Credit Facility. If any Lender shall obtain any payment of moneys due under this Agreement as referred to above, it shall forthwith remit such payment to the Agent and, upon receipt, the Agent shall distribute such payment in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.
		
	12.7

	(a)
	Unless otherwise specified herein, the Agent shall perform the following duties under this Agreement:

	(iv)

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

	(ii)
	amend the definition of"Majority Lenders" or this Subsection 12.7(c).

	(e)
	As between the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders:

		
	(i)
