THE CREDIT

2.1 Amount and Availment Options

(1) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender shall provide a credit (the “Credit”) for the use of IMG, IMQ and other wholly-owned Restricted Parties incorporated in Canada that become Obligors in the amount of up to US $50,000,000.

- 9 -

(2) The Credit may be used by Obligors requesting that L/Cs be issued by the Lender for their respective accounts.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Obligor other than IMG shall only be liable to the Lender for Obligations under or in connection with L/Cs that have been issued for that Obligor’s account. IMG shall be liable to the Lender for Obligations under or in connection with L/Cs that have been issued for its account and for all Obligations for which the other Obligors are not liable.

2.2 Reborrowing.

The Credit is a revolving credit and if the Obligations relating to a particular L/C are performed or terminated, the amount of that L/C may be re-availed, if the Obligors are otherwise entitled to an Advance under the Credit.

2.3 Use of the Credit.

The Credit may only be used to obtain issuance of L/Cs in the Ordinary Course to secure the respective obligations of IMG, IMQ and other wholly-owned Restricted Parties incorporated in Canada that become Obligors, but references in this Section to the use of the Credit shall not in any way modify other provisions of this Agreement.

2.4 Term and Repayment.

(1) The Credit shall be repaid in full and cancelled on or before 22 April 2011. If no Default has occurred and is continuing, IMG may request that the maturity date of the Credit be extended by up to 364 days on each request in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 2.4.

(2) IMG shall, if it wishes to extend the maturity date of the Credit, make a request to the Lender by written notice within 30 days after delivery of annual financial statements in accordance with Section 6.2(1)(b), beginning with the 2010 financial statements. The Lender shall provide a written response to that request to IMG within 30 days, but if the Lender does not do so, it shall be deemed to have declined the request and shall have no liability for failing to respond. If the Lender agrees to extend the maturity date of the Credit, the maturity date shall be extended by up to 364 days from the then applicable maturity date of the Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IMG may, in consultation with the Lender concerning timing, make a request to the Lender during the first year of this Agreement for an interim extension of the maturity date to a time that would allow IMG to provide 2010 financial statements so that the Lender can consider a request for a further 364 day extension.

2.5 Interest Rates and Fees

(1) Each Obligor shall pay L/C Fees on L/Cs issued for its account, calculated at a rate of 0.35% per annum and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Banking Day of each of IMG’s fiscal quarters. The rate for L/C Fees shall be increased by 2% per annum if a Default has occurred and is continuing.

- 10 -

(2) IMG shall pay or cause one or more other Obligors to pay a standby fee on the daily unavailed portion of the Credit at a rate of 0.10% per annum. The standby fee shall be calculated daily beginning on 23 April 2010 and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Banking Day of each of IMG’s fiscal quarters, with the first payment to be made on 30 June 2010. On termination of the Credit, IMG shall also pay or cause one or more other Obligors to pay any accrued but unpaid standby fees.

2.6 Other Fees. IMG shall, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, pay the Lender a non-refundable commitment fee of US $25,000.

2.7 Additional Obligors. IMG may designate other wholly-owned Restricted Parties that are incorporated in Canada as Obligors if it causes the delivery of an agreement by each new Obligor in the form of SCHEDULE D, documents relating to the new Obligor equivalent to those delivered under Sections 3.1(3) and 3.1(4), and an EDC Guarantee in support of L/Cs requested by the new Obligor. IMG’s right to designate other Obligors is also subject to it providing the Lender with historical financial statements of the proposed Obligor as reasonably requested by the Lender, and to the Lender being satisfied with the form and content of those financial statements.

ARTICLE 4 -

ADVANCES

4.1 Evidence of Indebtedness. The Lender shall maintain records concerning the Obligations. The records maintained by the Lender shall constitute prima facie evidence of the Obligations and all related details. The failure of the Lender to correctly record any detail relating to an Advance shall not, however, adversely affect the obligation of the Obligors to pay any of the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement.

4.2 Calculation and Other Matters Regarding Interest and Fees.

(1) Any interest 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 applicable rate, 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.

(2) Interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a calendar year unless otherwise specified. 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 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 4.2, 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.

- 13 -

(4) The L/C Fee for an L/C is calculated by multiplying the face amount of the L/C by the rate for calculation of the L/C Fee specified in Section 2.5, and multiplying the result by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from and including the issuance or renewal of the L/C or the previous date on which the L/C Fee was due, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which the L/C Fee is due or the L/C is drawn or cancelled, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the calendar year.

(5) 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.

(6) 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 Lender from and including the due date up to but excluding the date of actual payment, both before and after demand, default or judgment, at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus the Margin (if the amount is denominated in Canadian Dollars) or the Base Rate plus the Margin (if the amount is denominated in US Dollars), in each case compounded monthly.

(7) 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 Lender 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, 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 Lender 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 Credit, and not to the payment of interest, or if the excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Credit, the amount exceeding the unpaid balance shall be refunded to the applicable Obligor(s). 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 Lender shall be conclusive.

- 14 -

4.3 Renewals and Reductions.

(1) Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, an Obligor may from time to time renew an L/C at its maturity date by extending the maturity date. Without limiting the foregoing, it is a condition of any renewal (including an automatic renewal in accordance with the terms of an L/C) that a further “Confirmation” (as defined in the applicable EDC Guarantee) regarding the renewed L/C be received by the Lender from EDC. In connection with a proposed automatic renewal, the further “Confirmation” must be received by the Lender from EDC not later than 30 days before the time at which the Lender must give notice of non-renewal to the beneficiary under the L/C, failing which the Lender may in its sole discretion give notice of non-renewal.

(2) IMG may from time to time, by giving not less than five Banking Days’ notice to the Lender and paying all accrued and unpaid standby fees on the amount to be cancelled or reduced to the effective date of cancellation or reduction, irrevocably notify the Lender of the cancellation of the Credit or of the permanent reduction of the committed amount of the Credit by an amount that must be a minimum of US $10,000,000 and a whole multiple of US $1,000,000. The Obligors must ensure that the amount of Advances is less than or equal to the reduced amount of the Credit when the reduction becomes effective. The Obligors shall have no right to any reinstatement of any previously committed amount of the Credit after any cancellation or reduction.

4.4 Notice of Advances.

(1) An Obligor shall give the Lender irrevocable notice, in the form attached as SCHEDULE B, of any request for any Advance for its account.

(2) Notice for an Advance shall be given not later than the third Banking Day before the Advance Date or at such earlier time as Lender may reasonably require so that it has sufficient time to review the proposed form of L/C.

(3) Notices shall be given not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date for notice. Payments must be made before 11:00 a.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 the Lender agrees, in its sole discretion, to accept a notice or payment at a later time as being effective on the date it is given or made.

4.5 Term of Advances.

(1) Each L/C issued under this Agreement shall have a term that is not more than one year after its issuance date or renewal date (which may extend beyond the then-current maturity date of the Credit), and may provide for automatic renewal of its term for successive periods of up to one year each as long as the Lender has the right to avoid automatic renewal by giving notice to the beneficiary of the L/C before the extension becomes effective. An L/C may be renewed by an Obligor (including through an automatic extension provision when the Lender chooses not to give notice

- 15 -

of non-renewal) subject to complying with the terms of this Agreement applicable to an Advance by way of L/C.

4.6 Payment of L/Cs.

(1) The Obligor for whose account an L/C was issued shall pay the Lender each amount paid to the beneficiary of the L/C for value on the date on which the Lender makes a payment.

(2) If an Obligor fails to provide for payment in accordance with Section 4.6(1), it shall pay interest on the unpaid amount at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus the Margin in the case of failure to provide for a Canadian Dollar L/C or the Base Rate plus the Margin in the case of failure to provide for a US Dollar L/C.

4.7 Issuance and Use of L/Cs.

(1) A request for an Advance shall be made by an Obligor in accordance with Section 4.4. A request shall include the details of the L/C to be issued. The Lender shall promptly notify the Obligor of any comment concerning the form of the L/C requested and shall, if the Obligor is otherwise entitled to an Advance, issue the L/C to it on the Advance Date or as soon afterwards as the Lender is satisfied with the form of L/C to be issued.

(2) No Obligor shall directly or indirectly use or provide an L/C as security for loans or advances from any other Person, or for any other purpose not expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable EDC Guarantee.

4.8 Reimbursement Obligation - L/Cs

Notwithstanding Section 4.6 or any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Obligor for whose account an L/C was issued to reimburse the Lender for a payment to a beneficiary of an L/C shall be absolute and unconditional, but without prejudice to the Obligor’s right, after reimbursing the Lender, to claim damages from the Lender for matters arising from the Lender’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence. The Obligor’s obligation shall not be reduced by any demand or other request for payment of an L/C (a “Demand”) that is paid or acted on in good faith and in conformity with Applicable Laws or applicable commercial customs or practices being invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged, nor shall its obligation be subject to any defence or be affected by any right of compensation, set-off, counter-claim or recoupment that it may have now or in the future against the beneficiary, the Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, including the fact that the Lender paid a Demand or Demands (if applicable) aggregating up to the amount of the L/C notwithstanding any contrary instructions from the Obligor to the Lender or the occurrence of any event including the commencement of legal proceedings to prohibit payment by the Lender of a Demand. Any action, inaction or omission taken or suffered by the Lender under or in connection with an L/C or any Demand, if in good faith and in conformity with Applicable Laws or applicable customs or practices shall be binding on the Obligors and shall not place the Lender under any resulting

- 16 -

liability to the Obligors. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender may receive, accept or pay as complying with the terms of the L/C, any Demand that is otherwise in order that may be signed by, or issued to, any administrator, executor, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or other person or entity acting as the representative or in place of, the beneficiary. No Obligor shall take any steps, issue any instructions to the Lender or any of its correspondents or institute any proceedings intended to derogate from the right or ability of the Lender or its correspondents to honour or pay any Demand. Each Obligor’s obligations under this Section in respect of a particular L/C shall continue until they have been fully performed or the L/C has been cancelled, notwithstanding the expiry of the term of the Credit.

7.5 Remedies Cumulative.

Any single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any term, covenant, condition or agreement herein contained 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 Lender may be lawfully entitled for the same default or breach. Any waiver by the Lender of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any term, covenant, condition or agreement herein contained, and any indulgence granted by the Lender shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any subsequent default.

(1) The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Lender, the Obligors and their successors and assigns, except that the Obligors shall not assign any rights or obligations with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Lender, which may be withheld in its absolute discretion.

(2) Any assignment by the Lender shall become effective when IMG has been notified of the assignment, IMG has consented in writing to the assignment (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no consent is required) and the assignee has given an undertaking to the Obligors to be bound by this Agreement and to perform all of the obligations assigned to it. Any assignee shall be treated as if it were the Lender, shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and shall be subject to the obligations of the Lender as if it were an original signatory to this Agreement, in each case to the extent of the rights and obligations assigned to it, except that, if an assignment is made while no Event of Default is continuing, the assignee shall not be entitled to any payment under Section 9.7 which would not have been required to be paid to the assignor. The Lender shall be released and discharged of the obligations it has assigned.

(3) Following any assignment by the Lender of one or more partial interests in the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (with the result that there is more than one lender under this Agreement), the Lender and the assignee(s) may establish by agreement among themselves such procedures, including the appointment of an agent, as they may consider necessary or desirable to facilitate the ongoing administration of the Loan Documents. Any such procedures which are communicated to IMG shall be binding on the Obligors, and the Obligors shall also execute such documents as may reasonably be required to adapt the Loan Documents to fully protect the interests of the Lender and the assignee(s).

(4) The Obligors hereby consent to the disclosure of any information relating to the Obligors to any potential assignee or any Participant, provided that the potential assignee or Participant agrees in writing to keep the information confidential.

8.2 Participations

(1) The Lender may at any time, with the consent of IMG (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, but otherwise without the consent of, or notice to, IMG, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Restricted Party or any Affiliate of a Restricted Party) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its commitment to make Advances and/or the Advances owing to it). However, (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement

- 26 -

shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of its obligations and (iii) the Obligors shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any payment by a Participant to the Lender in connection with a sale of a participation shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by any Obligor or a new Advance to any Obligor.

(2) Subject to the immediately following paragraph, the Obligors agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9.7 and 9.8 to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 8.1. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.6 as though it were the Lender.

(3) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 9.7 and 9.8 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with IMG’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were an assignee of the Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7 unless IMG is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of IMG, to comply with that Section as though it were the Lender.

ARTICLE 9 -

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

9.1 Severability, Etc. If, in any jurisdiction, any provision of this Agreement or its application to any Party or circumstance is restricted, prohibited or unenforceable, that provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such restriction, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, without affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction and, if applicable, without affecting its application to the other Parties or circumstances.

9.2 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 therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless it is in writing, makes express reference to the provision affected thereby and is signed by the Lender, and then that waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. In addition, any amendment or supplement shall require the written consent of the other parties to the Loan Document in question. No waiver or act or omission of the Lender shall extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent Default or breach by an Obligor of any provision of any Loan Document or the rights resulting therefrom.

- 27 -

9.3 Governing Law.

(1) Each of the Loan Documents, except for those which expressly provide otherwise, shall be conclusively deemed to be a contract made under, and shall for all purposes be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Québec and the laws of Canada applicable in Québec. Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its Property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Québec, and any appellate court from any of those courts, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court. Each of the parties hereto 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 other manner provided by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or 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 hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in court any of the Province of Québec. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defence of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(2) Each Obligor other than IMQ hereby nominates, constitutes and appoints IMQ 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 Québec, and generally on its behalf to accept service of process and to receive all notices and to do all acts and to execute all deeds and other instruments relating to proceedings in any court in Québec. This appointment shall be irrevocable without the prior consent of the Lender upon the appointment of a substitute agent acceptable to the Lender acting reasonably and, until that time, service of process or of papers and notices relating to proceedings in any court in Québec upon IMQ shall be sufficient service on all Obligors.

9.4 This Agreement to Govern In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern to the extent necessary to remove the conflict.

9.5 Currency. All payments made hereunder shall be made in the currency in respect of which the obligation requiring such payment arose. Unless the context otherwise requires, all amounts expressed in this Agreement in terms of money shall refer to Canadian Dollars. 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, the calculation shall be made on the basis of the Exchange Rate at the effective date of the calculation.

- 28 -

9.6 Expenses and Indemnity

(1) IMG shall pay or cause one or more other Obligors to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Lender, in connection with the syndication of the Credit, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), (ii) without duplication, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any L/C or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Advances made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Advances.

(2) IMG shall indemnify or cause one or more other Obligors to indemnify the Lender and each Related Party of the Lender (each such Person being 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 third party or by any Restricted Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance or non-performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation or non-consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Lender to honour a demand for payment under an L/C if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such L/C), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release, spill, leakage, emission, deposit, discharge, leaching, migration or disposition of any hazardous substance, pollutant, contaminant or toxic or dangerous waste, substance or material as defined in or regulated by any Applicable Law or Governmental Authority from time to time (including friable asbestos and poly-chlorinated biphenals) on or from any Property owned or operated by any Restricted Party, or any remedial action taken by the Lender with respect thereto or any breach of Applicable Law with respect thereto that is related in any way to any Restricted Party, 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 a Restricted Party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such 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

- 29 -

the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by IMG or any other Restricted Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Restricted Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favour on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall it be available in respect of matters specifically addressed in Sections 9.6(1), 9.7 and 9.8.

(3) All amounts due under this Section 9.6 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts owing to the 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 IMG shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

9.7 Taxes.

(1) If any Obligor or the Lender is required by Applicable Law to deduct or pay any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of an Obligor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased by that Obligor when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments (including deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments been required, (ii) the Obligor shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under Applicable Law and (iii) the Obligor shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(2) Without limiting the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, the applicable Obligor shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(3) Each Obligor shall indemnify the Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 IMG by the Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the amount.

(4) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by an Obligor to a Governmental Authority, the Obligor shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

- 30 -

(5) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which an Obligor is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, at the request of IMG, deliver to IMG, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by IMG, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, (a) the Lender, if requested by IMG, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by IMG as will enable IMG to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements, and (b) if the Lender ceases 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 thereto, it shall within five days thereof notify IMG in writing.

(6) If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by an Obligor or with respect to which an Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section or that, because of the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes, it has benefited from a reduction in Excluded Taxes otherwise payable by it, it shall pay to the Obligor an amount equal to such refund or reduction (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Obligor under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or reduction), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any net after-Tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Obligor, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender if the Lender is required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to IMG or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction.

9.8 Increased Costs etc.

(1) If any Change in Law 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, the Lender;

(b) subject the 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 thereof, except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 9.7 and the imposition, or any change in the rate, of any Excluded Tax payable by the Lender; or

- 31 -

(c) impose on the Lender or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Advances made by the 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 such Advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of the Lender each Obligor will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(2) If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or any Lending Office of the Lender or the Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the commitments of the Lender or the Advances made by the Lender, to a level below that which the Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Obligors will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(3) A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, 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 IMG shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Obligors shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof by IMG.

(4) Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation, except that the Obligors shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months before the date that the Lender notifies IMG of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, unless the Change in Law giving rise to such 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 thereof.

9.9 Mitigation Obligations

(1) If the Lender requests compensation under Section 9.8, or requires an Obligor to pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 9.7, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or

- 32 -

affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.7 or 9.8, 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 Obligors hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

9.10 Illegality If the Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the 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 thereof by the Lender to IMG, any obligation of the Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until the Lender notifies IMG that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, IMG shall, upon demand from the Lender, take any necessary steps with respect to any L/C in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful. The Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of the Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to the Lender.

9.11 Currency Indemnity. In the event of a judgment or order being rendered by any court or tribunal for the payment of any amounts owing to the Lender under this Agreement or for the payment of damages in respect of any breach of this Agreement or under or in respect of a judgment or order of another court or tribunal for the payment of such amounts or damages, such judgment or order being expressed in a currency (“the Judgment Currency”) other than the currency payable hereunder or thereunder (“the Agreed Currency”), the party against whom the judgment or order is made shall indemnify and hold the Lender harmless against any deficiency in terms of the Agreed Currency in the amounts received by the Lender arising or resulting from any variation as between (a) the Exchange Rate at which the Agreed Currency is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purposes of such judgment or order, and (b) the Exchange Rate at which the Lender is able to purchase the Agreed Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Lender on the date of such receipt. The indemnity in this Section shall constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Obligors hereunder, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Lender, and shall be supported by any security.

9.12 Notices.

(1) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in Section 9.12(3)), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier to the addresses or telecopier numbers specified beside the respective signatures of the parties to this Agreement or on any assignment agreement or, if to an Obligor other than IMG, in care of IMG.

- 33 -

(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 Business Day between 9:00 a.m. and 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 9.12(3), shall be effective as provided in that Section.

(3) The Lender or Obligors may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by them, but approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(4) Unless the Lender 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 such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such 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 such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(5) Any party to this Agreement may change its address or telecopier number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

9.13 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

9.14 Further Assurances. The Obligors shall, at the request of the Lender, promptly do, execute, deliver or cause to be done, executed or delivered all such further acts, documents and matters as may, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to fully perform and carry out the purpose and intent of the Loan Documents.

9.15 Term of Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment and performance in full in cash of all of the Obligations. The obligations of the Obligors in Sections 4.8, 9.6, 9.7 and 9.8 shall continue for the benefit of those to whom the obligations are owed notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any particular person’s role as Obligor or Lender.

9.16 Counterparts and Facsimile

(1) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other

- 34 -

Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article 4, this Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by the Lender and when the Lender has received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or by sending a scanned copy by electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

9.17 Waiver of Consequential Damages Etc.

(1) 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, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby (or any breach thereof), the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof. 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 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(2) The Obligors acknowledge and agree that the Lender shall have no liability to them in relation to any due diligence investigations conducted by the Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or be under any obligation whatsoever to disclose to them any information received or facts disclosed by any such investigations. The Obligors further acknowledge and agree that they are 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 the Lender under or in connection with such due diligence investigations.

(3) Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.

9.18 Treatment of Certain Information: Confidentiality

(1) The Lender 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 such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep

- 35 -

such 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 hereto, (e) to EDC in connection with the EDC Guarantees, (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (g) 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 swap, derivative, credit-linked note or similar transaction relating to the Obligors and the Obligations, (h) with the consent of IMG or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Restricted Party.

(2) For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received in connection with this Agreement from any Restricted Party relating to any Restricted Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the 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 such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Lender may disclose to any agency or organization that assigns standard identification numbers to loan facilities such basic information describing the Credit as is necessary to assign unique identifiers (and, if requested, supply a copy of this Agreement), it being understood that the Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to make available to the public only such Information as such person normally makes available in the course of its business of assigning identification numbers.

(3) In addition, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lender may provide the information described on SCHEDULE C concerning the Obligors and the Credit to Loan Pricing Corporation and/or other recognized trade publishers of information for general circulation in the loan market.

9.19 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, written or oral. Except as specifically specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, 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 this Agreement or the agreements referred to herein, or which induced any Party to enter into this Agreement or the agreements referred to herein or on which reliance is

- 36 -

placed by any Party. Without limiting the foregoing, the discussion materials dated 12 March 2010 provided to IMG by the Lender are cancelled and superseded.

9.20 This Agreement to Govern. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern to the extent necessary to remove the conflict or inconsistency.

9.21 Language. The Parties have required that this Agreement and all contracts or notices relating to this Agreement be in the English language, but without prejudice to any such documents or instrument which 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 contrat, document ou avis y afférent soient rédigés en 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.

9.22 Date of Agreement. This Agreement may be referred to as being dated 23 April 2010 or as of 23 April 2010, notwithstanding the actual date of execution.
