- 5 - words following “include”, “includes” or “including” shall not be considered to set forth an exhaustive list; (d) the division of this Agreement into separate Articles and Sections, the provision of a Table of Contents and the insertion of headings is for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement; (e) unless specified otherwise, a reference in this Agreement to an agreement or document at any time refers (subject to all relevant approvals) to that agreement or document, as amended, supplemented, restated, substituted, replaced, extended, novated and/or assigned at such time; (f) the words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, “hereinafter” and “hereto” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article or Section hereof; and (g) the recitals herein are true and correct and the parties rely thereon. ARTICLE II LOAN AND PLEDGED SECURITIES 2.1 Loan Terms (a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (and, in particular, Section 2.2(a) hereof), the Lender agrees to make a loan (the “Loan”) to the Borrower in the principal amount of up to forty-five million dollars (USD $45,000,000) (the “Loan Amount”). (b) The Loan may be advanced by the Lender in one or more tranches (each, a “Tranche”). The amount available under each Tranche and the timing thereof shall be determined by the Lender, in its sole discretion, and subject to market conditions, shall not at any time exceed the Loan Amount. The advance of a Tranche shall be conditional on there not existing any Event of Default. (c) The Borrower shall cause to be opened a bank account with the Lender (the “Borrower Account”), together with a securities account with the Lender (the “Borrower Securities Account”) into which shall be held Listco Securities of the Borrower for the purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the terms of the Custodian Management Agreement. (d) The maturity date of the Loan (the “Maturity Date”) shall be the four (4) year anniversary from the initial Closing Date, or such earlier date as the Obligations may become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the maturity date of all Tranches shall be the Maturity Date, irrespective of the date of advance thereof. (e) Subject to compliance with Section 3.2, the Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the principal amount of the Loan prior to the date that is the twenty-four (24) month anniversary from the initial Closing Date. No penalties or fees will be payable by the Borrower with respect to any amount permissibly prepaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (f) The Lender shall enter in its records details of all amounts from time to time owing, paid or prepaid by the Borrower to the Lender hereunder and as contemplated hereby. The information entered in such records shall constitute prima facie evidence of the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender hereunder. (g) All outstanding amounts of the Loan shall accrue interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum, with such interest being payable to the Lender on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the


 
- 6 - date of occurrence of an Event of Default. Interest shall accrue daily both before and after default, demand, maturity and judgment, and shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and on the basis of a year of 365 days (366 days in a leap year). All interest payments due hereunder shall be paid in USD and made by way of certified cheque or other immediately available funds as directed by the Lender. (h) It is the intent of the parties that the rate of interest and other charges to the Borrower under this Agreement shall be lawful; therefore, if for any reason the interest or other charges payable under this Agreement are found by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final determination that has become non-appealable, to exceed the limit which the Lender may lawfully charge the Borrower, then the obligation to pay interest and other charges shall automatically be reduced to such limit and, if any amount in excess of such limit shall have been paid, then such amount shall be refunded to the Borrower. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Lender an up-front structure fee in an amount equal to 1.5% of the principal amount of each Tranche, which amount shall be deducted from the principal amount of such Tranche on the applicable Closing Date. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all or any portion of such origination fee may be paid by the Lender to one or more third parties in connection with the Loan. (j) Notwithstanding anything else herein contained to the contrary or otherwise, any and all payments to be made by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lender hereunder shall be made solely by the Borrower from a financial account of the Borrower. Any such payments made by third parties, or from bank accounts, trading accounts or other accounts not of the Borrower, shall not be accepted by the Lender. (k) With respect to withholding for or on account of any tax or on account of any other amount, whether by way of set-off, counterclaim or otherwise each Party hereto shall be responsible for their own withholding subject to the requirements of Applicable Law. 2.2 Pledged Securities; Tranches (a) As general and continuing security for the due, prompt and complete performance and satisfaction of the Obligations, the Borrower hereby mortgages, pledges, charges and grants to the Lender a security interest, as and by way of a fixed and specific mortgage, pledge, charge and security interest, to and in favour of the Lender, in the Listco Securities Delivered pursuant to this Section 2.2(a). As a condition precedent to the advance of each Tranche hereunder, the Borrower agrees to procure Delivery to the Borrower Securities Account (or as the Lender may otherwise direct) of such number of Listco Securities as is set forth in any Funding Notification delivered to the Borrower as provided in Section 2.2(b) below (such Listco Securities so Delivered, together with all substitutions, additions and proceeds thereof, all dividends, interest, income, revenue, return of capital or other distributions made in respect thereof and all rights and claims of the Borrower in respect of the foregoing or evidenced thereby being, collectively, the “Pledged Securities”). (b) Upon the Borrower’s written request at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Lender will provide funding pursuant to this Agreement, either in Tranches or in a lump sum at the Lender’s sole discretion, and the Lender shall provide advanced notice to the Borrower of which funding method the Lender intends to use. Such notification (a “Funding Notification”) shall be in writing and will include: (i) the principal amount of the proposed Tranche; (ii) the estimated number of Listco Securities required to be Delivered to the Borrower Securities Account (or as the Lender may otherwise direct) in connection with such Tranche as determined in accordance with Section 2.2(e); and (iii) the intended Closing Date of such Tranche.


 
- 7 - (c) Following delivery of a Funding Notification to the Borrower, to the extent that the relevant number of Listco Securities set forth in the Funding Notification is not deposited in the Borrower Securities Account, the Borrower shall as soon as practicable (and, in the case of any Funding Notification delivered after the initial Funding Notification given hereunder, in any event, within five (5) Banking Days following receipt of such Funding Notification) take all necessary steps to so Deliver such Listco Securities therein such that the number of Listco Securities standing in the Borrower Securities Account meets or exceeds the number of Listco Securities set out in the Funding Notification. (d) Subject to compliance with Section 2.2(c), the Lender shall fund the principal amount of the Tranche (less all deductions to be made hereunder) to the Borrower at the Borrower’s Account on the Closing Date, provided that the Lender may elect, in its sole discretion and for any reason, by notice in writing to the Borrower not to fund such amount on such date, whereupon the Pledged Securities Delivered in accordance with Section 2.2(c) shall cease to be Pledged Securities for the purposes hereof. (e) For the purposes of Section 2.2(b), the amount that the Lender may make available under the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (i) 50% by (ii) the Collateral Value. 2.3 Dealing with the Pledged Securities (a) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon the Delivery to the Borrower Securities Account (or as the Lender may otherwise direct) of any Listco Securities and such securities becoming Pledged Securities hereunder: (i) value will have been given by the Lender for such Pledged Securities; and (ii) the Borrower has rights in the Listco Securities which are to comprise Pledged Securities or the power to transfer rights in such securities as contemplated hereby. (b) Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred, the Lender shall not trade or sell the Pledged Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender shall have rights in the Pledged Securities subject to the terms of the Custodian Management Agreement. (c) The Lender covenants and agrees that, until and unless an Event of Default occurs, it shall not exercise any voting rights in respect of the Pledged Securities or give any consents, waivers, directions, notices or ratifications or take other action in respect thereof. So long as any Obligations remain outstanding, until and unless an Event of Default occurs, the Borrower may instruct the Lender to exercise any voting rights in respect of the Pledged Securities or to give any consents, waivers, directions, notices or ratifications or take other action in respect thereof. For greater certainty, the foregoing acknowledgement relates only to those Listco Securities that become Pledged Securities hereunder, and not to that portion of the Listco Securities pledged hereby pursuant to Section 2.2(a) that are not Pledged Securities at the relevant time. (d) The Lender shall, so long as any Obligations remain outstanding, be entitled to receive and hold any and all dividends (including special or one-time dividends), interest, income, revenue, return of capital or other distributions made in respect of the Pledged Securities, provided that on the Re-delivery Date, the Lender shall pay to the Borrower, in USD, an amount equal to all such dividends, interest, income, revenue, return of capital or other distributions paid thereon prior to the Re-delivery Date (for greater certainty, excluding any special or one-time dividends or other distributions). ARTICLE III MATURITY DATE, PREPAYMENT, REPAYMENT AND RE-DELIVERY 3.1 Extension of Maturity Date


 
- 8 - (a) The Borrower may request that the Maturity Date be extended on one occasion, and upon a request by the Borrower in accordance with Section 3.1(b), the Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect by notice in writing to the Borrower to extend the Maturity Date for up to an additional twelve (12) months following the Maturity Date, on the same terms and conditions as set forth herein, provided that the maximum term of the Loan shall not exceed sixty (60) months. (b) To seek an extension of the Maturity Date, the Borrower must provide written notice of the request to the Lender (an “Extension Request”) not less than thirty (30) Banking Days prior to the end of the Maturity Date. If the Lender elects to grant an Extension Request, in its sole discretion, subject to compliance with Section 3.1(c), the new maturity date as so extended shall thereupon be the “Maturity Date” for the purposes of this Agreement. (c) It shall be a condition precedent to any such extension (irrespective of the length of the extension acceptable to the Lender) that the Borrower pays to the Lender an extension fee equal to not less than 1.25% of the market value of all Pledged Securities as at the date of the receipt by the Lender of the Extension Request, with the market value thereof being determined by the Lender by multiplying (i) the total number of such Pledged Securities by (ii) (x) the closing price of the Listco Securities on the Exchange on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of receipt by the Lender of the Extension Request, or (y) in the event that the Listco Securities are suspended from trading, the Listco Securities have not for any reason traded for an extended period of time on the Exchange or the Lender determines that the Borrower is not in compliance with Section 4.3(g), the price determined by the Lender, acting reasonably. (d) The Borrower shall repay all Obligations to the Lender in full on the Maturity Date (or, if applicable, the extended maturity date as contemplated in Section 3.1(b)). 3.2 Prepayment, Repayment and Re-Delivery (a) Following the date set out in Section 2.1(e), and for a period of ten (10) days thereafter, provided that there has not occurred an Event of Default and subject to compliance with each of the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may elect to pre-pay all, but not less than all, of the Obligations by giving written notice to the Lender (the “Prepayment Notice”) not more than sixty (60) days nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the desired date of pre-payment. Such Prepayment Notice shall not be valid until the Lender acknowledges to the Borrower in writing receipt of such notice, which acknowledgement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, any pre-payment must be in respect of the entire Loan (and not certain Tranches only). (b) Within ten (10) Banking Days of full repayment of all of the Obligations to the Lender (“Repayment”), the Lender shall return all the Pledged Securities, or an equivalent number of Listco Securities, and any dividends or distributions thereon required to be repaid hereunder, to the Borrower (the “Re-delivery”). The date on which the Re-delivery occurs shall be referred to as the “Re-delivery Date”.
