ARTICLE 3 THE CREDIT FACILITY 3.1 Obligations of the Lenders and Use of Proceeds 3.1.1 Credit Facility: Relying on each of the representations and warranties set out in Article 2 and subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Lender severally and not jointly or solidarily, agrees to make its respective portion of the Total Commitment under the Credit Facility available to the Borrower in one or more Advances from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, in CDollars by way of Prime Rate Advances or CORRA Advances, in USDollars by way of US Base Rate Advances or SOFR Advances, or in CDollars, USDollars or any other currency acceptable to the Issuing Bank by way of Letters of Credit; provided that the Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Advance or Conversion Advance which would result in Borrowings exceeding the amount of the Available Commitment or at any time that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement. Advances can also be made to the Borrower by way of overdraft in CDollars or in USDollars in the Current Accounts, but only as a means of availment of the Swingline Loan. 3.1.2 Use of Funds: The Borrower agrees to use the proceeds of Advances to finance working capital and for general corporate purposes, and to finance Permitted Acquisitions. 3.1.3 Termination of the Available Commitment: The Total Commitment shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 3.2 Advances under the Credit Facility 3.2.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, from time to time from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, the Borrower may borrow from the Lenders, through the Agent, upon giving to the Agent prior written notice in accordance with Section 3.3 by means of a Notice of Borrowing in respect of a proposed Borrowing (other than a Swingline Advance, for which no Notice of Borrowing is required), up to the amount of the Available Commitment: 3.2.1.1 by way of Prime Rate Advances; 3.2.1.2 by way of US Base Rate Advances;

- 48 - 3.2.1.3 by way of SOFR Advances, provided each such Advance shall not be less than US$1,000,000 or in integral multiples of US$500,000 in excess of such amount and be subject to market availability; 3.2.1.4 by way of CORRA Advances, provided each such Advance shall not be less than C$1,000,000 or in integral multiples of C$500,000 in excess of such amount and be subject to market availability; or 3.2.1.5 by way of Letters of Credit up to a maximum Letter of Credit Exposure of C$2,500,000 or the Equivalent Amount in USDollars, for periods not exceeding 364 days or maturing after the Maturity Date. 3.2.2 Any overdraft utilization by the Borrower in any Current Account under the Swingline Loan relating to the Credit Facility shall be deemed to be a request for a Prime Rate Advance for a utilization in CDollars, or a US Base Rate Advance for a utilization in USDollars, and the credit balance in any Current Account shall be applied by the Agent in reduction of the Prime Rate Loans or US Base Rate Loans, as applicable, outstanding under the Loan. 3.2.3 In each Notice of Borrowing in which the Borrower has elected to pay interest on the basis of Adjusted Daily Compounded CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA or Adjusted Term SOFR on all or part of the Borrowing, the Borrower shall specify the duration it selects for the initial Interest Period with respect to such Daily Compounded CORRA Loan Portion, Term CORRA Loan Portion or SOFR Loan Portion in accordance with Section 7.7. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and be binding on the Borrower. In all cases the Drawdown Date shall be a Banking Day. 3.2.4 Within the limits of the Available Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 3.2, repay pursuant to Section 6.2 and re-borrow under this Section 3.2. 3.2.5 Any obligation of a Lender to make CORRA Advances and SOFR Advances is subject to availability. 3.3 Notice Provisions 3.3.1 For each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Advance), each optional repayment and each conversion with respect to the Credit Facility, the Agent shall have received prior to 10:00 a.m. (Montreal time) from the Borrower a Notice of Borrowing, a Notice of Optional Repayment or a Notice of Conversion, as the case may be, in accordance with the following: 3.3.1.1 at least one (1) Banking Day prior to the Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Optional Repayment Date for each optional

- 49 - repayment pursuant to Section 6.2, as the case may be, for each Borrowing or conversion by way of a Prime Rate Advance or a US Base Rate Advance; and 3.3.1.2 at least three (3) Banking Days prior to the Drawdown Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, for each Borrowing or conversion by way of issuance of any Letter of Credit or CORRA Advance or SOFR Advance. 3.3.2 If the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing to the Agent in accordance with Section 3.3.1, the Agent shall, on the same day it receives such Notice of Borrowing, notify each Lender by telecopier of the particulars of such request for a Borrowing and of such Lender’s Participation in the proposed Borrowing and each Lender shall, no later than 2:00 p.m. (Montreal time) on the Drawdown Date, make or procure to be made its Participation in the Borrowing available to the Agent. 3.3.3 Subject to the terms hereof, the Agent shall make each such Borrowing available to the Borrower for value on the Drawdown Date. 3.4 Pro Rata Treatment Except for Swingline Advances which shall be requested only from the Swingline Lender and be made available to the Borrower by way of overdraft in the relevant Current Accounts, the Borrower agrees to request through the Agent any Borrowing under the Credit Facility from the Lenders pro rata in all respects according to their respective portion of the Total Commitment determined without regard to the Swingline Limit, and the Lenders agree to make each such Borrowing available to the Borrower, through the Agent, pro rata in all respects according to their respective portion of the Total Commitment determined without regard to the Swingline Limit. A Lender shall not be responsible for the respective portion of the Total Commitment of any other Lender. Without prejudice to the rights of the Borrower against a Defaulting Lender, the failure or incapacity of a Lender to make available its Participation in a Borrowing to the Borrower in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement does not release the other Lenders from their obligations. 3.5 Accounts kept by the Agent The Agent shall keep in its books accounts for the Loan and other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement. The Agent shall keep appropriate registers showing the amount of the indebtedness of the Borrower in respect of the Loan and showing each payment or repayment of principal and interest made in respect of such indebtedness. Such registers shall constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of their content against the Borrower and the Lenders; provided that the obligation of the Borrower to pay or repay any indebtedness and liability in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be affected by the failure of the Agent to keep such registers. The Agent shall supply any Lender and the Borrower, on demand, with copies of such registers.

- 50 - 3.6 Accounts kept by each Lender Each Lender shall keep in its books, in respect of its Participation in the Credit Facility, accounts for the Loan and other amounts payable by the Borrower to it under this Agreement. Each Lender shall make appropriate entries showing, as debits, the amount of the indebtedness of the Borrower towards it in respect of the Loan, the amount of all accrued interest and any other amount due to such Lender pursuant hereto and, as credits, each payment or repayment of principal and interest made in respect of such indebtedness as well as other amounts paid to such Lender pursuant hereto. 3.7 Conversion Option At any time prior to the Maturity Date, subject to Section 6.3 and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may elect to convert, by Notice of Conversion received by the Agent, and on the Conversion Date set forth therein the Borrower shall convert, any Prime Rate Loan, any CORRA Loan, SOFR Loan or US Base Rate Loan or any portion thereof outstanding under the Credit Facility (each, a “Converted Advance”) into another basis of funding under the Credit Facility (each, a “Conversion Advance”). The provisions of this Agreement relating to Prime Rate Advances, US Base Rate Advances, CORRA Advances and SOFR Advances shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to Conversion Advances comprising Prime Rate Advances, US Base Rate Advances, CORRA Advances and SOFR Advances, respectively. 3.8 Letters of Credit Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, during the period from the date hereof until the Maturity Date, the Borrower may request the issue of Letters of Credit in accordance with Article 8. 3.9 Swingline Loans 3.9.1 At any time that the Borrower is entitled to obtain Advances, and subject to this Section 3.9, the Borrower shall be entitled to create or increase an overdraft in the Current Accounts. Any such Swingline Availment shall be made by way of a Prime Rate Advance or a US Base Rate Advance. 3.9.2 The Borrower undertakes not to permit the Swingline Availment at any time to exceed the Swingline Limit at such time. For greater certainty and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to permit a Swingline Advance if at such time (A) the amount of such Swingline Advance would exceed the Available Commitment, or (B) after giving effect to any such Swingline Advance (i) the Loan plus the Swingline Availment would exceed the Total Commitment at such time; or (ii) the Swingline Availment would exceed the Swingline Limit. 3.9.3 It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Swingline Loan be available to the Borrower pending the obtaining of Advances pursuant to Section 3.2. Accordingly, if on any Banking Day the Swingline Availment exceeds the Swingline Limit or, from time to time, as the Swingline Lender, in its sole and

- 51 - entire discretion, deem it appropriate, the Swingline Lender shall deliver a written notice to the Agent (which in turn will provide notice to, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, each Lender and the Borrower), requiring repayment of the Swingline Availment then outstanding or any portion thereof in the manner set forth in the following sentences of this Section 3.9.3. Such written notice from the Swingline Lender to the Agent shall be delivered not later than 10:00 a.m. (Montreal time) one (1) Banking Day prior to the proposed date of repayment of the Swingline Availment then outstanding or any portion thereof and any repayment amount specified in such notice shall be in a minimum amount of C$1,000,000 and in multiples of C$100,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower shall be deemed to have given at such time a Notice of Borrowing to the Agent requesting a Prime Rate Advance under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to the portion of the Swingline Availment owing by the Borrower and to be repaid as specified by the Swingline Lender. If the aggregate principal amount of all such requested Advances and the Loan outstanding would not exceed the Total Commitment at such time, the Lenders shall make such requested Advances on the next Banking Day and the Agent shall apply the proceeds thereof in full or partial repayment, as the case may be, of the Swingline Availment then outstanding. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of any such Advance made, and the Borrower agrees to accept each such Advance and hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Agent to apply the proceeds thereof in payment of the Swingline Loan as aforesaid. 3.9.4 If at any time that the Total Commitment has been terminated following an Event of Default as provided in Section 13.2 and the Loan is not outstanding rateably from the Lenders (with the outstanding Swingline Availment being deemed for such purpose outstanding under the Swingline Lender’s Total Commitments), any Lender from which excess Advances are outstanding (the “Surplus Lender”) shall sell to any Lender from which deficit Advances are outstanding (the “Deficit Lender”), and the Deficit Lender shall purchase from the Surplus Lender, for cash, at par, without representation or warranty from or recourse to the Surplus Lender, an interest in such of the Advances outstanding from the Surplus Lender as results in the ratio of the Advances outstanding from all Lenders being equal to the ratio of their Total Commitments. The intention of this Section 3.9.4 is that when any and all purchases and sales required hereby have been completed, the outstanding Advances under the Credit Facility will be outstanding rateably from the Lenders. The Agent, upon consultation with the Lenders, shall have the power to settle any documentation required to evidence any such purchase and sale and, if deemed advisable by the Agent, to execute any document as attorney for any Lender in order to complete any such purchase and sale. The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge that the foregoing arrangements are to be settled by the Lenders among themselves, and the Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements among such Lenders.

- 52 - 3.9.5 Each Lender shall indemnify and save harmless the Swingline Lender on a rateable basis based on the Total Commitment of each Lender against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, payments or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Swingline Lender in any way related to or arising out of the Swingline Loan or any Swingline Advance made by the Swingline Lender, except for any such liabilities resulting from the gross or intentional fault of the Swingline Lender. 3.10 Existing Bankers’ Acceptance As of the date of this Agreement, Bankers’ Acceptance (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) will no longer be available, provided that Bankers’ Acceptance outstanding on such date under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will continue until the last day of their respective periods, and that the provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement applicable to such Bankers’ Acceptance will continue to apply to such Bankers’ Acceptance until the last day of their respective periods. ARTICLE 4 ACCORDION 4.1 Accordion The Borrower shall have the right to request, upon at least sixty (60) days written notice to the Agent, to increase the amount of the Credit Facility by up to C$50,000,000 in the aggregate at any time, subject to a minimum amount of C$20,000,000 for each request, on or before the Maturity Date, to the extent that the Agent has received binding commitments from existing Lenders for the entire amount requested (the “New Commitments”), provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing (without having been cured or waived as provided in this Agreement) or shall result from such increase, (ii) no commitment of any Lender shall be increased without the written consent of such Lender, (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing on the date such increase may take effect or after giving effect to the New Commitments, including without limitation, compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.2, (iv) the New Commitments of the Lenders shall be effected pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Agent executed and delivered by the Borrower, the other Obligors, the Lenders and the Agent, (v) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Agent in connection with such transaction, and (vi) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent a fee to be determined at the time the request to draw the Accordion is made. No Lender shall be under any obligation or commitment to agree to any request under this Article 4 and if all conditions set forth herein for the New Commitments are not being complied with, the amount of the Credit Facility shall not be increased.

- 53 - ARTICLE 5 EXTENSION OF MATURITY DATE 5.1 Extension of Maturity Date 5.1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, by notice in writing to the Agent, the Borrower may request that the then current Maturity Date of the Credit Facility be extended by one (1) additional year, provided that the tenor of the Credit Facility never exceeds three (3) years (a “Request”). The Agent shall forthwith on receipt of a Request give a copy of such Request to each Lender. 5.1.2 Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, by notice in writing to the Agent (a “Confirmation Notice”) no later than sixty (60) days after the date of receipt by the Agent of the Request, either agree to such Request or refuse to agree to such Request, and if a Lender fails to give such a notice within such delay it shall be deemed to have refused to agree to such Request. Any agreement by a Lender to such Request shall be deemed for all purposes to be conditional upon all Lenders having given the Agent a notice agreeing to such Request no later than sixty (60) days after the date of receipt by the Agent of such Request. 5.1.3 If the Agent shall have received by no later than sixty (60) days after the date of the receipt by the Agent of such Request a notice from each Lender by which each Lender agrees to such Request, the Agent shall forthwith send a Confirmation Notice confirming that the Lenders agree to such Request, and that the then current Maturity Date of the Credit Facility shall thereupon be extended by one (1) additional year. 5.1.4 No Lender shall be under any obligation or commitment to agree to any Request. ARTICLE 6 REPAYMENT 6.1 Mandatory Repayment of the Loans 6.1.1 Credit Facility. The Borrower shall repay in full the Loan to the Lenders on the Maturity Date together with all unpaid interest accrued and other amounts owing and unpaid under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in respect of or in connection with the Credit Facility. In the event that on the Maturity Date there are any outstanding Letters of Credit under the Credit Facility, the Borrower shall thereupon provide the Agent for the account of the Lenders with funds for the full amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure, it being understood and agreed that, subject to the compensation rights of the Agent and the Lenders, all funds provided by the Borrower to the Lenders to cover any Letter of Credit Exposure shall be returned by the Agent to the

- 54 - Borrower to the extent any Letters of Credit then outstanding are not drawn upon. Should the amount of any payment by the Borrower be applied against repayment of any Daily Compounded CORRA Loan Portion, Term CORRA Loan Portion or SOFR Loan Portion on a day other than the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect of such Daily Compounded CORRA Loan Portion, Term CORRA Loan Portion or SOFR Loan Portion, as applicable, the Borrower shall, in addition, pay the amount calculated as set forth in Section 9.11.3. 6.1.2 Mandatory repayments. In addition to the repayment requirements set out in Section 6.1.1, the Borrower shall repay the Loan from (i) the net proceeds of Assets sales made outside of the ordinary course of business of the Obligors (other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business) exceeding an aggregate amount of C$2,500,000 per annum, unless such proceeds are reinvested by the Obligors in its working capital within 180 days after the receipt of such proceeds, (ii) insurance proceeds in an aggregate amount exceeding C$2,500,000 per annum (other than business interruption insurance proceeds) not otherwise reinvested by the Obligors within 180 days after the receipt of such proceeds, (iii) 100% of equity offerings, Debt (other than equity offering or Debt otherwise permitted under this Agreement or related to a Permitted Acquisition or Debt otherwise approved by the Lenders), private placement of debt or any other debt related vehicle providing additional funding to any Obligor. All such mandatory prepayments shall be made without penalty or premium (except for breakage costs, if any) and shall be applied in reduction of the Credit Facility, the whole as determined by the Agent. 6.1.3 Excess Resulting From Exchange Rate Change. Any time that, following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the US Dollars against the Canadian Dollar, the sum of: 6.1.3.1 the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of Obligations in US Dollars; and 6.1.3.2 the Obligations in Canadian Dollars; exceeds the amount of the Credit Facility then available, the Borrower shall promptly make the necessary payments or repayments to the Agent to reduce the Obligations under the Credit Facility to an amount equal to or less than the available amount under such Credit Facility. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, the Agent shall, on a monthly basis, make the necessary exchange rate calculations to determine whether any such excess exists on such date and, if there is an excess, it shall so notify the Borrower.

- 55 - 6.2 Optional Repayments 6.2.1 Repayment of the Loan. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, subject to Section 6.3, the Borrower may elect to repay without penalty any Prime Rate Loan or US Base Rate Loan outstanding under the Credit Facility with interest accrued to the date of such repayment. CORRA Loans and SOFR Loans, subject to breakage costs set forth in Section 9.11.3, cannot be repaid prior to their maturity. Within the limits of the Available Commitment, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may reborrow under the Credit Facility any amount so repaid; for greater certainty, the Borrower may not reborrow any amount prepaid after the Maturity Date.

Upon determination

- 58 - of the applicable rate of interest on any SOFR Loan, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of this rate. The Agent will compute the interest on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which such interest is payable divided by three hundred and sixty (360).

Upon determination of the applicable rate of interest on any Daily Compounded CORRA Loan Portion or Term CORRA Loan Portion, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of this rate. The Agent will compute the interest on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which such interest is payable divided by three hundred and sixty-five (365). The applicable rate of interest for each Daily Compounded CORRA Loan Portion and Term CORRA Loan Portion shall change simultaneously with any change in the Daily Compounded CORRA or Term CORRA, as applicable, or the Applicable Margin. 7.6 Payment of Interest on the Swingline Loan On each Interest Payment Date in respect of a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender interest at the Prime Rate or the US Base Rate, as applicable.

The Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and each Lender of the occurrence of a Participation Date, and the amount payable by it to the Issuing Bank based on such Lender’s Participation. Any such notice may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing (including telecopy). If any Lender fails to make any such payment on or prior to the first Banking Day after such Lender receives notice as provided above, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment during the period from such Banking Day to the day such Lender makes such payment (or if earlier, the date on which the Borrower reimburses the Issuing Bank for such unpaid Reimbursement Obligation) at the rate specified in Section 6.1 of the Provisions; such interest shall be payable by such Lender. 8.3 Repayment of Participants Upon and only upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of funds from the Borrower in full or partial reimbursement of any draft paid under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has theretofore paid the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in full for such Lender’s participation pursuant to Section 8.2 and in full or partial payment of interest, commissions or fees on such draft paid under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will pay to such Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Issuing Bank, or net against any then due obligation of such Lender under Section 8.2 to make any payment to the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Participation of such funds. 8.4 Role of the Issuing Bank The Issuing Bank will exercise and give the same care and attention to each Letter of Credit as it gives to its other letters of credit and similar obligations, and the Issuing Bank’s sole liability to each Lender shall be to distribute pursuant to Section 8.3 promptly, as and when received by

- 63 - the Issuing Bank, each Lender’s Participation of any payments made to the Issuing Bank by the Borrower. Each Lender agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than as required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any Person delivering any such document. Neither the Issuing Bank nor any of its representatives, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Majority Lenders, (b) any action taken or omitted to be taken in the absence of intentional or gross fault, (c) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in any document distributed to any Lender, (d) the creditworthiness of the Borrower, or (e) the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any other document contemplated thereby.

The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are joint and not solidary, and no Lender shall be liable for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Lender under this Article 8. In the event of intentional or gross fault on the part of the Issuing Bank in the payment of any draft under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall repay to each Lender any amount paid by such Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 8.2. 8.5 Obligations of Each Lender Absolute Each Lender acknowledges that its obligations to the Issuing Bank under this Article 8, including the obligation to purchase and fund a participation in the obligations and rights of the Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit and any unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) the fact that a condition precedent to the issuance of any Letter of Credit was not in fact satisfied, (iii) any failure or inability of any other Lender to purchase or fund such a participation hereunder, or (iv) any other failure by any other Lender to fulfil its obligations hereunder. Each payment by a Lender to the Issuing Bank for its own account or the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, compensation, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 8.6 Reinstatement and Survival Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Issuing Bank is required at any time whether before or after the Maturity Date to make any payment under a Letter of Credit which was outstanding on or before the Maturity Date, each Lender shall pay over to the Issuing Bank, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 8, the amount of such Lender’s Participation of such amount.

The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein (including this Agreement) shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise

- 4 - modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements, restatements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns, (c) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) unless otherwise expressly stated, all references in these Provisions to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, these Provisions, but all such references elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to refer to this Agreement apart from these Provisions, (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time and (f) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights. 2.2 If there is any conflict or inconsistency between these Provisions and the other terms of this Agreement, the other terms of this Agreement shall govern to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict or inconsistency. 3. Yield Protection 3.1 Increased Costs (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: (i) 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; (ii) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.2 and the imposition, or any change in the rate, of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender; or (iii) impose on any Lender or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum

- 5 - received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of such Lender the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or the Letters of Credit issued or participated in by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of 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. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such 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 prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore, 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. 3.2 Taxes (a) Payments Subject to Taxes. If any Obligor, the Administrative Agent, or any 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

- 6 - deductions and payments (including deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, 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. (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each 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 Administrative Agent or such 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 the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Evidence of Payments. 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent. (e) Status of Lenders. 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 such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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) any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable

- 7 - Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements, and (b) any Lender that 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 shall within five days thereof notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing. (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds and Tax Reductions. If the Administrative Agent or a 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 the Borrower 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 Borrower or Obligor, as applicable, an amount equal to such refund or reduction (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or 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 Administrative Agent or such 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 such refund). The Borrower or Obligor as applicable, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender if the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction. 3.3 Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, 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 3.2, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The

- 8 - Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, if 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 3.2, if any Lender’s obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 3.4 or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon 10 days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: (i) the Borrower pays the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.2(f); (ii) the assigning Lender receives payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in disbursements under Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any breakage costs and amounts required to be paid under this Agreement as a result of prepayment to a Lender) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 3.4 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 Loan (or to maintain its obligation to make any Loan), or to participate in, issue or maintain any Letter of Credit (or to maintain its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any particular

- 9 - rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if conversion would avoid the activity that is unlawful, convert any Loans, or take any necessary steps with respect to any Letter of Credit in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful. 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 such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 3.5 Inability to Determine Rates Etc. If the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason a market for bankers’ acceptances does not exist at any time or the Lenders cannot for other reasons, after reasonable efforts, readily sell bankers’ acceptances or perform their other obligations under this Agreement with respect to bankers’ acceptances, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the Borrower’s right to request the acceptance of bankers’ acceptances shall be and remain suspended until the Majority Lenders determine and the Agent notifies the Borrower and each Lender that the condition causing such determination no longer exists. 4. Right of Setoff If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby 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 such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Obligor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, 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 Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. If any Affiliate of a Lender exercises any rights under this Section 4, it shall share the benefit received in accordance with Section 5 as if the benefit had been received by the Lender of which it is an Affiliate. 5. Sharing of Payments by Lenders If any Lender, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains any payment or other reduction that might result in such Lender receiving payment or other reduction

- 10 - of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other obligations hereunder greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such payment or other reduction shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 5.1 if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, 5.2 the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in disbursements under Letters of Credit 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 5.3 the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (w) any payment made while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of obligations of the Borrower to such Lender that do not arise under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (x) any payment made in respect of an obligation that is secured by a Permitted Lien or that is otherwise entitled to priority over the Borrower’s obligations under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (y) any reduction arising from an amount owing to an Obligor upon the termination of derivatives entered into between the Obligor and such Lender, or (z) any payment to which such Lender is entitled as a result of any form of credit protection obtained by such Lender. 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 setoff and counterclaim and similar rights of Lenders with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Obligor in the amount of such participation. 6. Administrative Agent’s Clawback 6.1 Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any advance of funds that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a

- 11 - corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable advance available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such advance. If the Lender does not do so forthwith, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon 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 such payment to the Administrative Agent. 6.2 Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute the amount due to the Lenders. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. 7. Agency 7.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Person identified elsewhere in this Agreement as the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and no Obligor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 7.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder 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 Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept

- 12 - 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 thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account to the Lenders. 7.3 Exculpatory Provisions (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents), but the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law; and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other 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 Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as is necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith is necessary, under the provisions of the Loan Documents) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross or intentional fault. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing the Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. (c) Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, the Administrative 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the

- 13 - performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 7.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent The Administrative 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 Administrative 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 thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative 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 the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 7.5 Indemnification of Administrative Agent Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative 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 counsel, which may be incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or the transactions therein contemplated. However, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from the Administrative Agent’s intentional or gross fault. 7.6 Delegation of Duties The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent from among the Lenders (including the Person serving as Administrative Agent) and their respective Affiliates. The Administrative Agent and any such 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 Administrative Agent shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their

Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a Lender having a Commitment to a revolving credit if one or more is established in this Agreement and having an office in Toronto, Ontario or Montréal, Québec, or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Toronto or Montréal. The Administrative Agent may also be removed at any time by the Majority Lenders upon 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as long as the Majority Lenders, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint and obtain the acceptance of a successor within such 30 days, which shall be a Lender having a Commitment to a revolving credit if one or more is established in this Agreement and having an office in Toronto or Montréal, or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Toronto or Montréal. (b) If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications specified in Section 7.7(a), provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in the preceding paragraph. (c) Upon a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former Administrative Agent, and the former Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in the preceding paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the

After the termination of the service of the former Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 7 and of Section 9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such former Administrative 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 Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 7.8 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 7.9 Collective Action of the Lenders Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any collateral 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 further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under any collateral security are to be exercised not severally, but by the Administrative Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including, without limitation, any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder but that any such action shall be taken only by the Administrative Agent with the prior written agreement of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given, it shall co-operate fully with the Administrative Agent to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Administrative Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders. 7.10 No Other Duties. etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or holders of similar titles, if any, specified in this Agreement shall have any powers,

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
