The facility is conditional upon the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent under the Share Purchase Agreement (as defined below) and can be drawn in a single advance in part or in full.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons purchased the Ordinary Shares for investment purposes pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated November 1, 2017 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), as amended pursuant to Deed of Amendment No. 1, dated January 31, 2018, Deed of Amendment No. 2, dated February 15, 2018, and Deed of Amendment No. 3, dated February 27, 2018, between ACIL Luxco 1, S.A., a société anonyme incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg (“ACIL Luxco 1”), Algonquin, and Abengoa, S.A. (“Abengoa”), as guarantor of ACIL Luxco 1. Pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated March 8, 2018 (the “On-Sale SPA”), between Algonquin and AY Holdings, Algonquin transferred the Ordinary Shares it acquired under the Share Purchase Agreement to AY Holdings, which now holds the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

On November 1, 2017, Algonquin and Abengoa also entered into an option and right of first refusal agreement with respect to additional Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (the “Option Agreement”). Under the Option Agreement, Algonquin (directly or through an assignee) has the right to acquire from ACIL Luxco 1 additional Ordinary Shares representing a 16.47% aggregate equity interest in the Issuer.

Also on November 1, 2017, Algonquin and Abengoa entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “AAGES MOU”), pursuant to which Algonquin and Abengoa established AAGES, which is a joint venture company owned 50% by Algonquin through AY Holdco and 50% by Abengoa through a subsidiary. The business of AAGES is developing global utility infrastructure projects. In addition, AAGES has formed a subsidiary, AY Holdings, to hold the initial 25% Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. Pursuant to the terms of the articles of association and joint venture agreements of AAGES and AY Holdings, Abengoa and its affiliates have no power to vote or direct the vote of or to dispose or direct the disposal of those Ordinary Shares held by AY Holdings, such power resides with AY Holdco as the holder of preferred shares of AY Holdings. The terms of the AAGES MOU were superseded by the documents governing AAGES and AY Holdings.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors and subject to the obligations described herein, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the board, price levels of Ordinary Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, concentration of positions in the portfolios managed by the Reporting Persons, market conditions and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may take such actions with respect to their investments in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional Ordinary Shares or other financial instruments related to the Issuer or selling some or all of their beneficial or economic holdings, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the securities relating to the Issuer and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Except as otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule A to this Schedule 13D, currently has any plans or proposals that would result in or relate to any of the transactions or changes listed in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, as part of their ongoing evaluation of this investment and investment alternatives, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the board of directors of the Issuer, other shareholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.

The disclosures in Item 6 are herein incorporated by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Algonquin and AY Holdco, through their ownership of AY Holdings, may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by AY Holdings.

(c) Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, no Reporting Person has affected any transactions in the Ordinary Shares during the past sixty days.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Share Purchase Agreement

On November 1, 2017, ACIL Luxco 1, Algonquin, and Abengoa, as guarantor of ACIL Luxco 1, entered into the Share Purchase Agreement. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, ACIL Luxco 1 agreed to transfer to Algonquin or its assignee that number of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (rounded up to the nearest whole number) representing as of the date of completion 25.0%, and not less than 25.0%, of the Issuer’s issued share capital. Such transfer was conditional upon, inter alia, a waiver from the Department of Energy in respect of minimum ownership provisions for certain electricity infrastructure projects located in the United States, the consent of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in respect of the same projects, the release of any encumbrances over the shares subject to the transfer, any required consents from any financing parties, and certain other conditions. Pursuant to the On-Sale SPA, Algonquin agreed to transfer the Ordinary Shares it acquired under the Share Purchase Agreement to AY Holdings. The conditions under the Share Purchase Agreement having been satisfied or waived, the Reporting Persons’ 25.0% shareholding in the Issuer was transferred to AY Holdings on March 9, 2018 for a total consideration of $607,567,139, with additional consideration payable upon the satisfaction of certain events as described in the Share Purchase Agreement and On-Sale SPA.

AAGES MOU

On November 1, 2017, Algonquin and Abengoa entered into the AAGES MOU. The purpose of the AAGES MOU was to establish AAGES, a joint venture company owned 50% by Algonquin through a subsidiary and 50% by Abengoa through a subsidiary for the purpose of developing global utility infrastructure projects. AAGES was incorporated in the Netherlands on January 31, 2018. The terms of the AAGES MOU were superseded by the governing documents of AAGES and AY Holdings.

Algonquin financed the acquisition of the Ordinary Shares under the Share Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the governing documents of AAGES and AY Holdings, Algonquin as the provider of funding for such purchase has the sole and exclusive right to exercise any and all rights, assert any and all claims, and exercise and enforce any and all remedies of AY Holdings as the owner of such shares, including the nomination or appointment of any director of the Issuer or the vote on any matter for which AY Holdings is entitled to vote as the holder of such Issuer’s securities, and to enter into any agreement on behalf of AY Holdings in relation to the foregoing.

Certain restrictions are in place under the AAGES governing documents relating to the transfer of AAGES shares. A transfer in violation of these restrictions, or insolvency of Algonquin or Abengoa, vests the other with the right to purchase the entirety of the other’s ownership interests in AAGES.

Option Agreement

On November 1, 2017, ACIL Luxco 1, Algonquin, and Abengoa entered into the Option Agreement. Under the Option Agreement, Algonquin (directly or through an assignee) has a right to acquire ACIL Luxco 1’s remaining 16.47% aggregate equity interest in the Issuer, subject to the condition that the option be exercised within 60 days after the date of the initial 25.0% transfer.

Atlantica Yield Shareholders Agreement

Algonquin and AAGES have entered into a Shareholders Agreement with the Issuer (the “AY Shareholders Agreement”), effective March 9, 2018. The AY Shareholders Agreement will terminate when either Algonquin and its affiliates or AAGES and its affiliates (individually, an “Investor”, collectively, the “Investors”), holds less than 10% the total voting rights attached to the then outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. Additionally, Investors may, but are not required to, terminate the agreement if the Issuer’s board confirms a dividend policy of less than 80% of cash available for distribution.

Pursuant to the AY Shareholders Agreement and in accordance with the articles of association, upon delivery to the Issuer of the resignation of a Resigning Director, as defined in the AY Shareholders Agreement, Algonquin shall appoint a new director nominee. In addition thereafter, if and to the extent provided in the Issuer’s Articles of Association, such Investor shall have the right to appoint to the Issuer’s board the maximum number of directors that corresponds to such Investor’s percentage interest of total voting securities, provided, however, that the maximum number of directors that Investors collectively may appoint is limited to the lesser of (i) such number of directors as corresponds to 41.5% of Ordinary Shares or (ii) no more than 50% less one of the board. In addition, for so long as an Investor and its affiliates hold in aggregate 25% or more of the Ordinary Shares, at least one board member elected by the Investor shall be given the opportunity, and if accepted, shall be elected to a committee of directors.

Under the AY Shareholders Agreement, the Issuer may raise funding by way of issue and allotment of equity securities, loan notes or other borrowing arrangements. Subject to the standstill provision in the Agreement, each Investor has a preemptive right to purchase up to 100% of any proposed allotment or issue of equity securities of the Issuer if certain conditions are met. Pursuant to the standstill provision of the AY Shareholders Agreement, the Investors, in the aggregate cannot hold, greater than 41.5% of Issuer, subject to limited exceptions.

2.4	The purchase price payable upon Completion following and as a result of the full or partial exercise of the Option shall be equal to US$24.25 per Share (as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Clause 2.5) (the “Option Exercise Price”).

(i) the AY Articles are amended in a manner that adversely affects the rights of such Investor (or any Affiliate thereof) to appoint Directors, as such rights exist under the AY Articles as of the Effective Date, unless such Investor or any Affiliate thereof voted in favor of such amendment; or

(ii) except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or any order, decree, decision or judgment of any court, tribunal, arbitrator, governmental agency or regulatory body, or where the AY Articles are amended upon a valid proposal made by a shareholder of the Company, the Company or the AY Board takes any action in violation or contravention of the rights of such Investor (or any Affiliate thereof) specified in Clause 2.1(c), provided that such Investor gives notice to the Company reasonably requiring it to remedy such violation or contravention and the Company or AY Board fails to remedy such violation or contravention within twenty (20) Business Days of the Company receiving such notice.

(e) Termination of the obligations and restrictions applicable to an Investor and its Affiliates in accordance with Clause 2.1(d) shall not release such Investor and its Affiliates from any liability which at the time of termination has already accrued to another Party or which thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such termination.

(iii) the Company or the AY Board, other than reasonably in accordance with its ordinary course practices with respect to stated dividends or reasonably in accordance with principles of prudent management with respect to the Company’s existing business, takes or omits to take any action that is reasonably within its control, and such action or omission prevents the Company from lawfully declaring dividends substantially in accordance with the 80% Pay-Out Ratio, and the Company or the AY Board, as applicable, fails to remedy such occurrence within sixty (60) days following receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from an Investor.

(c) Termination of the obligations and restrictions applicable to an Investor and its Affiliates in accordance with Clause 2.2(b) shall not release such Investor Parties from any liability which at the time of termination has already accrued to another Party or which thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such termination.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Investor Party may at any time acquire (and agree to, offer to, accept an option or offer to, or enter into any discussions or agreements to, acquire), whether by purchase, contract or otherwise, from any other Investor Party any ownership interests or voting rights (or rights or options to acquire such interests or rights) in any AY Voting Securities, so long as (i) the aggregate Percentage Interest of all Investor Parties, collectively, does not exceed forty-one and a half per cent (41.5%), except as provided in Clause 4.2, and (ii) promptly following such acquisition, the Investors deliver to the Company written notice of any reallocation between them of the aggregate Standstill Percentage of forty-one and a half per cent (41.5%) as may be required such that no Investor Party is in violation of Clause 4.1(a) as a result of such acquisition.

(c) In no case shall the existence of any option or agreement to acquire all or any portion of the Option Shares, or any discussion of any of the foregoing, constitute a violation of this Agreement.

(i) the acquisition of all or any portion of the Option Shares or of any voting rights attached to any Option Shares; and

(ii) the exercise of subscription rights as part of the Initial Funding Commitment,

an Investor and/or its Affiliates hold in the aggregate more than the Standstill Percentage of the total voting rights attached to all then outstanding AY Voting Securities, such Investor will not be in breach of Clause 4.1(a), but until the aggregate Percentage Interest of such Investor and its Affiliates of the total voting rights attached to all then outstanding AY Voting Securities is again equal to or below the Standstill Percentage, such Investor shall not, and such Investor shall procure that its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, acquire any additional AY Voting Securities, whether through subscription from the Company, open market purchases, or any other transaction, other than as described in subclauses (i) and (ii) of this Clause 4.2(a).

(b) If the exercise of the rights of an Investor and its Affiliates to subscribe for AY Voting Securities as part of the Initial Funding Commitment may result in such Investor and/or its Affiliates holding in the aggregate more than the Standstill Percentage of the total voting rights attached to all AY Voting Securities outstanding immediately following the allotment or issue, the Company may give notice to such Investor that such Investors and their Affiliates may subscribe for up to such portion of AY Voting Securities (the “Relevant Portion”) that would be necessary to procure that the number of the voting rights attached to AY Voting Securities that would be held by the Investors and their Affiliates, in the aggregate, immediately following such allotment or issue would not exceed forty six per cent (46%) of the total voting rights attached to all AY Voting Securities that would be outstanding immediately following such allotment or issue. Upon receipt of such notice such Investor shall not, and shall procure that its Affiliates shall not, subscribe for more than the Relevant Portion.

(c) If AAGES is not an Affiliate of AQN, the exception set forth in Clause 4.2(a) and the further limitation set forth in Clause 4.2(b) applies:

(i) if the acquisition of all or any portion of the Option Shares occurred prior to AAGES ceasing to be an Affiliate of AQN, to all Investors; or

(ii) if the acquisition of all or any portion of the Option Shares occurred after, but not prior to, AAGES ceasing to be an Affiliate of AQN, to AAGES or AQN which, or the Affiliate of which, holds the Option Shares (as applicable).

(d) Notwithstanding Clause 4.1(a), in the event that the Company takes any action that reduces the number of the then outstanding AY Voting Securities and, as a result of such action, an Investor and/or its Affiliates then hold in the aggregate more than the Standstill Percentage of the total voting rights attached to all then outstanding AY Voting Securities, such Investor will not be in breach of Clause 4.1(a); provided, however, that until the aggregate Percentage Interest of such Investor and its Affiliates of the total voting rights attached to all then outstanding AY Voting Securities is again equal to or below the Standstill Percentage, such Investor shall not, and such Investor shall procure that its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, acquire any additional AY Voting Securities, whether through subscription from the Company, open market purchases, or any other transaction, other than as described in subclauses (i) and (ii) of Clause 4.2(a).

4.3 Additional Terms.

(b) Other than limitations set forth in Clause 2.1(b) on the rights of the Investor Parties to appoint Directors to the AY Board pursuant to the AY Articles and subject to Clause 4.3(c), nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict in any way the rights of any Investor or any Affiliate thereof to exercise any and all rights and privileges as a holder of any Equity Securities of the Company (and of voting rights attached to AY Voting Securities) that such Investor and its Affiliates are permitted to hold pursuant to Clauses 4.1 and 4.2, and the existence or exercise of such rights shall not be deemed to constitute Control, including the right to: (i) vote such AY Voting Securities in any manner in the sole and absolute discretion of such Investor or Affiliate thereof, on any and all matters; (ii) make any director nomination or shareholder proposal or support in any manner any director nomination or shareholder proposal made by any other Person; (iii) seek to have called any meeting of the shareholders of the Company; (iv) sell, transfer or exchange, or elect not to sell, transfer or exchange, any Equity Securities of the Company to any Person in any transaction whatsoever, including any merger with or tender, exchange or other offer or proposal by any Person, and encourage or discourage, or support or oppose, any such transaction or offer (other than any transaction with or offer by any Investor Party that would result in a violation of Clause 4.1 by any Investor Party); and (v) communicate in any manner with other holders of any Equity Securities of the Company.

(c) If any Investor or its Affiliates acquire (whether through subscription, open market purchase or any other transaction) any AY Voting Securities or voting rights in breach of Clause 4.1 (subject to Clause 4.2), neither such Investor nor its Affiliates shall be able to exercise that portion of voting rights attached to AY Voting Securities (whether or not such AY Securities themselves are held by such Investor or its Affiliates) that exceeds the voting rights that such Investor and its Affiliates are permitted to hold pursuant to Clauses 4.1 and 4.2.

ARTICLE 10

10.3 Waiver.

No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

(a) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Total Commitment; provided that (i) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (ii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(b) The U.S. Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days. The LIBO Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days.

(c) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

- 17 -

(d) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(e) If any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall, at the option of the Majority Lenders, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable.

Section 2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest. If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate or the market for so ascertaining or issuing LIBOR Loans is disrupted for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Conversion/Continuation Notice that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a LIBOR Loan shall be ineffective, and (ii) if the Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR Loan, such Loan shall be made as an U.S. Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.13 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lenders; or

- 18 -

(ii) subject the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by the Lenders or participation therein,

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or Lenders for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lenders’ capital as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by the Lenders to a level below that which the Lenders’ could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lenders’ policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lenders for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of the relevant Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender as specified in Section 2.13(a) or Section 2.13(b) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the relevant Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of a Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of any Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any increased costs or reductions incurred 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 therefor.

Section 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto in accordance with Section 9.04, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate the Administrative Agent, for the rateable benefit of the Lenders, for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to the Lenders shall be deemed to include an amount determined by the Administrative Agent to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which the Administrative Agent would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for U.S. Dollar of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the LIBOR market. A certificate of the Administrative Agent setting forth any amount or amounts that the Administrative Agent for the rateable benefit of the Lenders is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

- 19 -

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Withholding Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If it is required to withhold Taxes, then the Borrower may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that net of such withholding (including withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.15) the applicable permitted assignee (in accordance with Section 9.04) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower 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.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by the Lenders in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.15(d) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.15(d) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the Borrower a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by the Lenders and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

- 20 -

Section 2.16 Payments Generally.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, Section 2.14 or Section 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Toronto time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the rateable benefit of the Lenders, unless otherwise required by the Administrative Agent, via wire transfer to an account designated by the Administrative Agent. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall distribute all amounts due and payable to each Lender promptly upon receipt of payment. Any amount received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be held in trust for their benefit pending distribution and shall bear interest at the interbank rate from and after the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent.

(d) No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender to make Loans to the Borrower nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased as a result of any such default.

Section 2.17 [Intentionally Deleted]

Section 2.18 Rateable Loans and Payments. Each Lender shall endeavour to make its rateable portion of the Loan available to the Administrative Agent immediately upon receipt of the notice specified in Section 2.18(c), but in any event no later than 12:00 noon, Toronto time, on the requested date of advance specified in the Borrowing Request. Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to the date of a Loan that the Lender will not make its rateable portion of the Loan available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Lender has made its portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the Loan prior to 12:00 noon, Toronto time, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower on such date. If and to the extent the Lender has not made its rateable portion available to the Administrative Agent, the Lender shall pay the corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand. If the Lender pays the corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute the Lender’s part of the Loan for purposes of this Agreement. If the Lender does not pay the amount to the Administrative Agent upon demand and such amount has been made available to the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay the corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent upon demand and agrees that any such amount received and so reimbursed would not and shall not constitute a Loan. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover interest on the corresponding amount from the Borrower from the date the amount was made available to the Borrower until the date it is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the U.S. Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. A Lender who defaults in the payment of any corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.18 shall pay (as compensation to the Administrative Agent for the additional services required of the Administrative Agent as a result of the Lender’s default) interest to the Administrative Agent at the interbank rate on the corresponding amount from the date that the amount was made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent until the date it is repaid to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall affect any Commitment of any Lender to the Borrower.

- 21 -

(a) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders with respect to the principal amount of any Loan and any interest thereon that the Borrower will not make the payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full on that date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon that assumption, distribute to each Lender on the due date an amount equal to the amount with respect thereto then due to the Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such a payment in full, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent upon demand the amount distributed to it together with interest at the interbank rate from the date such amount was distributed to the Lender until the date the Lender repays it to the Administrative Agent.

(b) References in this Agreement to a Lender’s rateable portion of Loan, rateable share of payments of principal, interest, fees or any other amount, shall mean and refer to a rateable portion or share as nearly as may be rateable in the circumstances, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent. Each such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be prima facie evidence of such rateable share.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of (i) receipt of the Borrowing Request from the Borrower and of each Lender’s rateable portion of the requested Loans, and (ii) any other written notice received by it under this Agreement.

The Agent and the Lenders

Section 8.01 Authorization and Action.

(a) Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement, and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto which may be necessary for the Administrative Agent to exercise in order for the provisions of the Loan Documents to be carried out. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so doing) upon the joint instructions of the Majority Lenders which instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action pursuant to such instructions or otherwise which (i) exposes it to personal liability, (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or Applicable Laws, (iii) would require the Administrative Agent to become registered to do business in any jurisdiction, or (iv) would subject the Administrative Agent to taxation. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the termination of the Commitments and the repayment in full of all Obligations, no Lender may take independent legal action to enforce any obligation of the Borrower (any such action to be taken by the Administrative Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders). Each Lender hereby acknowledges that, prior to the termination of the Commitments and the repayment in full of all Obligations and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Loan Documents and the remedies provided thereunder to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally, and further acknowledges that, prior to the termination of the Commitments and the repayment in full of all Obligations, each Lender’s rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents are to be exercised collectively, not severally, by the Administrative Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders.

- 35 -

(b) The Administrative Agent has no duties or obligations other than as expressly set out in this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed or is intended to impose any other duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations on the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may execute or perform, and may delegate the execution and performance of, any of its powers, rights, duties or discretion under the Loan Documents through or to any Persons designated by it and references in any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to include any such Persons.

(c) The Administrative Agent is not obliged to (i) take or refrain from taking any action or exercise or refrain from exercising any right or discretion under the Loan Documents, or (ii) incur or subject itself to any cost in connection with the Loan Documents, unless it is first specifically indemnified or furnished with security by the Lenders on a rateable basis, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include further agreements of indemnity or the deposit of funds or security).

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender any notices, reports or other communications contemplated under this Agreement and intended for the benefit of the Lenders.

Section 8.02 No Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them in connection with the Loan Documents except for its or their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat any Lender as the payee of amounts attributable to the Lender’s Commitments unless and until the Administrative Agent receives an agreement in the form contemplated in Section 8.04, (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including legal counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with their advice, (iii) makes no representation or warranty to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for the form, substance, accuracy or completeness of any Loan Document or any other documents or information made available to the Lenders, or for any statements, representations or warranties made in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, (iv) has no duty to inspect the property (including books and records) of the Borrower or any other Person, (v) has no duty to ascertain or enquire as to the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the observance of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Documents, (vi) is not responsible to any Lender for the execution, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any of the Loan Documents, and (vii) shall incur no liability by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper Person.

- 36 -

Section 8.03 Accommodations by Administrative Agent. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it in its capacity as a Lender, the Administrative Agent has the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any Related Parties or any Person who may do business with or own securities of such Persons, all as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account to the Lenders.

Section 8.04 Payments. If any Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of set-off or realization of any Loan Documents) on account of Loans made by the Lender (other than amounts paid pursuant to Section 9.03) in excess of its rateable share of payments obtained by all the Lenders, the Lender shall account to and pay over to the other Lenders their rateable share and shall, upon request, immediately purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by the other Lenders as shall be necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment rateably with the other Lenders. If all or any portion of the excess payment is recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase price shall be rescinded and each Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of the recovery together with an amount equal to the Lender’s rateable share (according to the proportion that the amount the Lender’s required repayment bears to the total amount recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount recovered. The Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 8.04 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, but subject to Section 9.08, exercise all of its rights of payment (including any right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if the Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of the participation and the Borrower expressly acknowledges the creation of such right.

Section 8.05 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

Section 8.06 Indemnification. Each Lender shall indemnify and save the Administrative Agent harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) rateably from any Claim or Loss suffered by, imposed upon or asserted against the Administrative Agent as a result of, or arising out of, the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; provided that, no Lender shall be liable for any part of a Claim or Loss resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as agent. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its rateable share of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of any rights or responsibilities under the Loan Documents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower).

- 37 -

Section 8.07 No Implied Liability to Other Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Lenders has or shall have any duty or obligation, or shall in any way be liable to any other Lenders in respect of any Loan Documents or any actions taken or omitted to be taken in connection therewith.

Section 8.08 Successor Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. Upon notice of a resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders. If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed or has accepted the appointment within thirty days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a bank, chartered under the Bank Act (Canada) and having a branch in Toronto, Ontario, as the successor Administrative Agent, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case, the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint any Person as the successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of its appointment, the successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Article shall enure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent and Lenders would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders. Only written amendments, waivers or consents signed by all of the Lenders shall (i) extend the Maturity Date, (ii) increase a Lender’s Commitment (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of such Lender) or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (iii) reduce the principal or amount of, or interest on, the Loan or any fees payable by the Borrower under this Agreement, (iv) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal or interest on the Loan or fees payable by the Borrower under this Agreement, (v) change the currency or types of financial accommodations available under the Term Credit Facility, (vi) change the percentage of the Commitments or the number or percentage of Lenders required for any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to take any action, or (vii) amend this Section 9.02.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement, including their rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

- 40 -

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender and its directors, officers, employees, agents and professional advisors (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 or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the preparation, execution or delivery of, preservation of rights under, enforcement of, and refinancing, renegotiation, or restructuring the Loan Documents, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) a default (whether or not constituting a Default or an Event of Default) by the Borrower under any Loan Document, (iii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iv) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory 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 are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-tax claim.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor, subject to receipt of a written undertaking by the Indemnitee in favor of the Borrower to return such amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment that such Indemnitee was not entitled to such indemnification under this Section 9.03.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.04(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 9.04(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated by Section 9.03, the Indemnitees, and the Affiliates of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent ) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

- 41 -

(b) Assignment by Lenders.

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

(ii) except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment being assigned (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than U.S. $10,000,000 (and in excess thereof shall be in multiples of U.S. $5,000,000), unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents to a lower amount (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

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

(iv) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender;

(v) any assignment must be approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless:

(A)

the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender, or

(B)

the proposed assignee is a bank whose senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced, long term debt is rated at least A3, A- or A low by at least two Rating Agencies, respectively;

(vi) any assignment must be approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

- 42 -

(vii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of U.S. $5,000 and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in the form required by the Administrative Agent.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.03 and shall continue to be liable for any breach of this Agreement by such Lender, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.04(d). Any payment by an assignee to an assigning Lender in connection with an assignment or transfer shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrower or a new Loan to the Borrower.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Toronto, Ontario a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, principal amounts (and stated interest) and Types of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations.

(i) Subject to the following sentence, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (each, a “Participant”) in any rights or obligations of the Lender under this Agreement (including any of its Commitment or any Loans owing to it), provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The sale of a participation at a time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall require the consent of, and notice to, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, unless the Participant is a bank or other financial institution. Any payment by a Participant to a Lender in connection with a sale of a participation shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrower or a new Loan to the Borrower.

- 43 -

(ii) Subject to Section 9.04(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 8.04 as though it were a Lender.

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it shall enter the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other Obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining any Participant Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 than the relevant 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 the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of the Lender, but no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Term Credit Facility has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 8.02, Section 8.06, Section 8.07, Section 9.01, Section 9.03, Section 9.08 and Section 9.10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Term Credit Facility or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

- 44 -

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent 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 Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Lenders and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand for payment in accordance with this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have.

- 45 -

Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in Ontario or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal 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 law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to Section 9.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 9.10.

Section 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Confidentiality.

(a) The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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 such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to any assignee of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower, or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12, or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or a Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or a Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 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.

(b) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN Section 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO THEM PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.
