Any such automatic conversion to U.S. Base Rate Committed Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans. If the U.S. Borrower requests a U.S. Committed Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans in any such U.S. Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any U.S. Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such U.S. Letter of Credit, the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer shall notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the date of any payment by such U.S. L/C Issuer under a U.S. Letter of Credit (each such date, an “U.S. Honor Date”), the U.S. Borrower shall reimburse such U.S. L/C Issuer in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing by means of a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Committed Loans or otherwise. If the U.S. Borrower fails so to reimburse such U.S. L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the U.S. Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “U.S. Unreimbursed Amount”), and

48

the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a U.S. Committed Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the U.S. Honor Date in an amount equal to the U.S. Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified inSection 2.02for the principal amount of U.S. Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate U.S. Commitments and whether or not the conditions set forth inSection 6.02are satisfied,provided that no Event of Default underSections 10.01(h)(i)or10.01(h)(ii)has occurred and is continuing. Any notice given by such U.S. L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to thisSection 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant toSection 2.04(c)(i)make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such U.S. L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the U.S. Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions ofSection 2.04(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a U.S. Base Rate Committed Loan to the U.S. Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to such U.S. L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any U.S. Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a U.S. Committed Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans for any reason, the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from such U.S. L/C Issuer a U.S. L/C Borrowing in the amount of the U.S. Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which U.S. L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) for the first three (3) Business Days after the date of such U.S. L/C Borrowing, the U.S. Base Rate, and (ii) thereafter, the U.S. Base Rate plus two percent (2%). In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such U.S. L/C Issuer pursuant toSection 2.04(c)(ii)shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such U.S. L/C Borrowing and shall constitute a U.S. L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under thisSection 2.04.

(iv) Until each Lender funds its U.S. Committed Loan or U.S. L/C Advance pursuant to thisSection 2.04(c)to reimburse a U.S. L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any U.S. Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such U.S. L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Committed Loans or U.S. L/C Advances to reimburse a U.S. L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under U.S. Letters of Credit, as contemplated by thisSection 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such U.S. L/C Issuer, the U.S. Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of a U.S. L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the U.S. Borrower to reimburse such U.S. L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such U.S. L/C Issuer under any U.S. Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of a U.S. L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(ii), then, without

49

limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such U.S. L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such U.S. L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such U.S. L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such U.S. L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the aforesaid interest and fees) shall constitute such Lender’s U.S. Committed Loan included in the relevant U.S. Committed Borrowing or U.S. L/C Advance in respect of the relevant U.S. L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of a U.S. L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under thisclause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after a U.S. L/C Issuer has made a payment under any U.S. Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s U.S. L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance withSection 2.04(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such U.S. L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related U.S. Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the U.S. Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s U.S. L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any U.S. L/C Issuer pursuant toSection 2.04(c)(i)is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described inSection 12.08(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such U.S. L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such U.S. L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the U.S. Borrower to reimburse a U.S. L/C Issuer for each drawing under each U.S. Letter of Credit and to repay each U.S. L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such U.S. Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such U.S. Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such U.S. L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such U.S. Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

50

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such U.S. Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such U.S. Letter of Credit;

(iv) waiver by such U.S. L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for such U.S. L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the U.S. Borrower or any waiver by such U.S. L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the U.S. Borrower;

(v) any payment made by such U.S. L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable, to the extent the UCC, the ISP or the UCP applies to such Letter of Credit and the applicable provision in the UCC, the ISP or the UCP that would otherwise permit such presentation was not overridden by the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) any payment by such U.S. L/C Issuer under such U.S. Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such U.S. Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such U.S. L/C Issuer under such U.S. Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver, receiver-manager or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such U.S. Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The U.S. Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each U.S. Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the U.S. Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the U.S. Borrower will promptly notify the U.S. L/C Issuer. The U.S. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the U.S. L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f)Role of U.S. L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the U.S. Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a U.S. Letter of Credit, a U.S. L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the U.S. Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the U.S. L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any U.S. L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the U.S. Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any U.S. Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The U.S. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any U.S. Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the U.S. Borrower pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the U.S. L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any U.S. L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible

51

for any of the matters described inclauses (i) through(vii) ofSection 2.04(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the U.S. Borrower may have a claim against the U.S. L/C Issuer, and such U.S. L/C Issuer may be liable to the U.S. Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the U.S. Borrower which the U.S. Borrower proves were caused by such U.S. L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such U.S. L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any U.S. Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a U.S. Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, a U.S. L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such U.S. L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a U.S. Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. A U.S. L/C Issuer may send a U.S. Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via SWIFT message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g)Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or, in the case of the succeedingclause (ii), any U.S. L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (i) if such U.S. L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any U.S. Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a U.S. L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any U.S. Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the U.S. Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all U.S. L/C Obligations in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such U.S. L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be.Sections 2.06,3.04,3.06,4.10, and10.02(c)set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. The U.S. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the U.S. L/C Issuers and the Lenders, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and in all other property so provided as collateral pursuant to this Agreement, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which Cash Collateral may be applied. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts held by the Administrative Agent.

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided which has priority over the Administrative Agent’s claim, the applicable Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Agreement in respect of U.S. Letters of Credit or U.S. Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific U.S. L/C Obligations, U.S. Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released in whole or in part, as applicable, promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or payment in full of all other obligations giving rise thereto (including, if applicable, by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance withSection 12.09(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that

52

Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in thisSection 2.04, inSection 4.10, or as may be otherwise applied in accordance withSection 10.04).

(h)Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by a U.S. L/C Issuer and the U.S. Borrower when a U.S. Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing U.S. Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby U.S. Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial U.S. Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no U.S. L/C Issuer shall be responsible to the U.S. Borrower for, and such U.S. L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the U.S. Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such U.S. L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any U.S. Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such U.S. L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, to the extent such law or practice is applicable to such U.S. Letter of Credit.

(i)U.S. Letter of Credit Fees. The U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance, subject to Section 4.10, with its Pro Rata Share a U.S. Letter of Credit fee (the “U.S. Letter of Credit Fee”) for each U.S. Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such U.S. Letter of Credit. U.S. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears (and, for the avoidance of doubt, calculated for the calendar-day period for which such U.S. Letter of Credit was outstanding during such quarterly period, with each quarter starting with and including the first calendar date of the quarter and ending on and including the last calendar date of such quarter) and (ii) due and payable within three Business Days of receipt of an invoice from the Administrative Agent properly setting forth the amounts due and payable, with such invoice being provided on or after the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such U.S. Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each U.S. Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(j)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to U.S. L/C Issuer. The U.S. Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each U.S. Letter of Credit at the rate per annum specified in the applicable Fee Letter, payable on the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such U.S. Letter of Credit. Such fronting fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears (and, for the avoidance of doubt, calculated for the calendar-day period for which such U.S. Letter of Credit was outstanding during such quarterly period, with each quarter starting with and including the first calendar date of the quarter and ending on and including the last calendar date of such quarter). Such fronting fee shall be due and payable within three Business Days of receipt of an invoice from the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer properly setting forth the amounts due and payable, with such invoice being provided on or after the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such U.S. Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the U.S. Borrower shall pay directly to such U.S. L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such U.S. L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as agreed to by the U.S. Borrower and the

53

applicable U.S. L/C Issuer. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k)Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(l)Designation of Subsidiaries as Account Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including without limitationSection 2.04(a), a U.S. Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall, upon the request of the U.S. Borrower, be issued for the account of any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower, provided that notwithstanding such request, the U.S. Borrower shall be the actual account party for all purposes of this Agreement for such U.S. Letter of Credit, and such request shall not affect the U.S. Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such U.S. Letter of Credit.

(m)U.S. L/C Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each U.S. L/C Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of U.S. Letters of Credit issued by such U.S. L/C Issuer, including issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, expirations and cancelations and disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) at least one Business Day prior to the time that such U.S. L/C Issuer issues, amends, renews or extends a U.S. Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the applicable U.S. Letters of Credit after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such U.S. L/C Issuer makes a payment pursuant to a U.S. Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such payment, (iv) on any Business Day on which the U.S. Borrower fails to reimburse a payment made pursuant to a U.S. Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such U.S. L/C Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the U.S. Letters of Credit issued by such U.S. L/C Issuer.

2.05. U.S. Swing Line Loans.

(a)The U.S. Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the U.S. Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in thisSection 2.05, agrees to make loans in U.S. Dollars (each such loan, a “U.S. Swing Line Loan”) to the U.S. Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the U.S. Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such U.S. Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of U.S. Committed Loans and U.S. L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as U.S. Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s U.S. Commitment; provided, however, that (x) after giving effect to any U.S. Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total U.S. Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate U.S. Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.S. Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all U.S. L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s U.S. Commitment, and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of U.S. Swing Line Loans plus the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Canadian Swing Line Loans shall not exceed $50,000,000, (y) that the U.S. Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any U.S. Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding U.S. Swing Line Loan, and (z) the U.S. Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make a U.S. Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (after giving effect toSection 4.10(a)(iv)) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the U.S. Borrower may borrow under thisSection 2.05, prepay underSection 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.05. Immediately upon the making of a U.S. Swing Line Loan, each

54

Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the U.S. Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such U.S. Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such U.S. Swing Line Loan.

(b)U.S. Borrowing Procedures. Each U.S. Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the U.S. Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the U.S. Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a U.S. Swing line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the U.S. Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of U.S. $1,000,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the U.S. Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written U.S. Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the U.S. Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the U.S. Swing Line Lender of any telephonic U.S. Swing Line Loan Notice, the U.S. Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such U.S. Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the U.S. Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the U.S. Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 4:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed U.S. Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the U.S. Swing Line Lender not to make such U.S. Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence ofSection 2.05(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified inArticle 6is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the U.S. Swing Line Lender will, not later than 5:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such U.S. Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its U.S. Swing Line Loan available to the U.S. Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the U.S. Borrower on the books of the U.S. Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(c) Refinancing of U.S. Swing Line Loans.

(i) The U.S. Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the U.S. Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the U.S. Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a U.S. Base Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of U.S. Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a U.S. Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements ofSection 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of U.S. Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate U.S. Commitments and the conditions set forth inSection 6.02. The U.S. Swing Line Lender shall furnish the U.S. Borrower with a copy of the applicable U.S. Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such U.S. Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable U.S. Swing Line Loan) for the account of the U.S. Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such U.S. Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject toSection 2.05(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a U.S. Base Rate Committed Loan to the U.S. Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the U.S. Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any U.S. Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a U.S. Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(i), the request for U.S. Base Rate

55

Committed Loans submitted by the U.S. Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the U.S. Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant U.S. Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the U.S. Swing Line Lender pursuant toSection 2.05(c)(i)shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the U.S. Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of thisSection 2.05(c)by the time specified inSection 2.05(c)(i), the U.S. Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the U.S. Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the U.S. Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the U.S. Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the aforesaid interest and fees) shall constitute such Lender’s U.S. Committed Loan included in the relevant U.S. Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant U.S. Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the U.S. Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under thisclause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Committed Loans or to purchase andfund risk participations in U.S. Swing Line Loans pursuant to thisSection 2.05(c)shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the U.S. Swing Line Lender, the U.S. Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Committed Loans pursuant to thisSection 2.05(c)is subject to the conditions set forth inSection 6.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the U.S. Borrower to repay U.S. Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a U.S. Swing Line Loan, if the U.S. Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such U.S. Swing Line Loan, the U.S. Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the U.S. Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the U.S. Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any U.S. Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the U.S. Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described inSection 12.08(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the U.S. Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the U.S. Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon

56

the request of the U.S. Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of U.S. Swing Line Lender. The U.S. Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the U.S. Borrower for interest on the U.S. Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its U.S. Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to thisSection 2.05 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any U.S. Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the U.S. Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to U.S. Swing Line Lender. The U.S. Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the U.S. Swing Line Loans directly to the U.S. Swing Line Lender.

2.06. Prepayments.

(a) The U.S. Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay U.S. Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of U.S. Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of U.S. $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of U.S. Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of U.S. $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of U.S. $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of U.S. Committed Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment.

Within the limits of the Canadian Commitment of each Canadian Lender, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Canadian Borrower may borrow under thisSection 3.01, prepay underSection 3.06, and reborrow under thisSection 3.01. Canadian Committed Loans may be Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loans, Canadian Base Rate Committed Loans, Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loans or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans, as further provided herein.

3.02.Canadian Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Canadian Committed Loans.

Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Canadian Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loans or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or of any conversion of Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loans or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans to Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loans or Canadian Base Rate Committed Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Canadian Borrowing of Canadian Base Rate Committed Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Canadian Borrower pursuant to thisSection 3.02(a)must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Canadian Committed Borrowing Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Canadian Borrower. Each Canadian Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loans or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate

Any such automatic conversion shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loans or the applicable Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans. If the Canadian Borrower requests a Canadian Committed Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loans or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan in any such Canadian Committed Borrowing Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loan or a Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Committed Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loans or a Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan without the consent of the Canadian Required Lenders.

59

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Canadian Borrower and theCanadian Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for a Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loan or a Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate or U.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(e) After giving effect to all Canadian Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Canadian Committed Loans from one Type to another, and all continuations of Canadian Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Canadian Committed Loans for the Canadian Borrower.

(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Canadian Bankers’ Acceptance may be rolled over or converted only on its maturity date.

3.08.Bankers’ Acceptances.

(a) Creation of Bankers’ Acceptances. Upon receipt of a Canadian Committed Borrowing Notice requesting purchase or acceptance of Bankers’ Acceptances, and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each Canadian Lender shall accept, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the requested Canadian Committed Borrowing from time to time such Bankers’ Acceptances as the Canadian Borrower shall request.

(b) Terms of Acceptance by the Canadian Lenders.

(i)Delivery and Payment. Subject toSections 3.08(c) and3.08(d) and only if a valid appointment pursuant toSection 3.08(b)(v) is not in place, the Canadian Borrower shall pre-sign and deliver to each Canadian Lender bankers’ acceptance drafts in sufficient quantity to meet the their requirements for anticipated Canadian Committed Borrowings by way of Bankers’ Acceptances. The Canadian Borrower shall, at its option, provide for payment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Canadian Lenders of each Bankers’ Acceptance on the date on which a Bankers’ Acceptance matures, either by payment of the full face amount thereof or through

76

utilization of a conversion to another Type of Canadian Committed Borrowing in accordance with this Agreement, or through a combination thereof. The Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment of Bankers’ Acceptances by Canadian Lenders and shall not claim from Canadian Lenders any days of grace for the payment at maturity of Bankers’ Acceptances. Any amount owing by the Canadian Borrower in respect of any Bankers’ Acceptance which is not paid in accordance with the foregoing, shall, as and from the date on which such Bankers’ Acceptance matures, be deemed to be outstanding hereunder as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan owing by the Canadian Borrower.

(ii) No Liability. Administrative Agent and Canadian Lenders shall not be liable for any damage, loss or improper use of any bankers’ acceptance draft endorsed in blank except for any loss arising by reason of Administrative Agent or a Canadian Lender failing to use the same standard of care in the custody of such bankers’ acceptance drafts as Administrative Agent or such Canadian Lender use in the custody of their own property of a similar nature.

(iii) Bankers’ Acceptances Purchased by Canadian Lenders. Where the Canadian Borrower so elects in the Canadian Committed Borrowing Notice, each Canadian Lender shall purchase Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by it for an amount equal to the Canadian Discount Proceeds.

(iv) Marketing. Where the Canadian Borrower so elects in the Canadian Committed Borrowing Notice, it shall be responsible for, and shall make its own arrangements with respect to, the marketing of Bankers’ Acceptances, except for (A) Bankers’ Acceptances that are BA Equivalent Advances in which case they will be dealt with in accordance withSection 3.08(f)or (B) Bankers’ Acceptances that are accepted by Canadian Lenders (“Old System Issuers”) who are not able to issue Bankers’ Acceptances as depository bills under the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada), which Bankers’ Acceptances shall in all instances be purchased by such Old System Issuer.

(v) Power of Attorney. To facilitate the procedures contemplated in this Agreement, the Canadian Borrower appoints each Canadian Lender from time to time as the attorney-in-fact of the Canadian Borrower to execute, endorse and deliver on behalf of the Canadian Borrower drafts or depository bills in the form or forms prescribed by such Canadian Lender for Bankers’ Acceptances denominated in Canadian Dollars. Each Bankers’ Acceptance executed and delivered by a Canadian Lender on behalf of the Canadian Borrower shall be as binding upon the Canadian Borrower as if it had been executed and delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Canadian Borrower. The foregoing appointment shall cease to be effective, in respect of any Canadian Lender regarding the Canadian Borrower, three Business Days following receipt by such Canadian Lender of a written notice from the Canadian Borrower revoking such appointment (which notice shall be copied to the Administrative Agent); provided that any such revocation shall not affect Bankers’ Acceptances previously executed and delivered by such Canadian Lender pursuant to such appointment.

(vi) Market. If the Canadian Required Lenders determine, which determination shall be final conclusive and binding on the Canadian Borrower, that there does not exist at the applicable time a normal market in Canada for the purchase and sale of Bankers’ Acceptances, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Canadian Borrower, and the Canadian Lenders’ obligation to accept Bankers’ Acceptances under this Agreement shall be suspended until such time as the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Canadian Required Lenders) revokes such notice. During any such suspension, a request for a Bankers’ Acceptance will be deemed to be a request for a Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loan.

77

(vii)Pro-Rata Treatment of Canadian Borrowings.

(A) In the event it is not practicable to allocate Bankers’ Acceptances to each Canadian Lender such that the aggregate amount of Bankers’ Acceptances required to be purchased by such Canadian Lender hereunder is in a whole multiple of C$100,000, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Canadian Borrower and each Canadian Lender to make such allocation as the Administrative Agent determines in its sole and unfettered discretion may be equitable in the circumstances and, if the aggregate amount of such Bankers’ Acceptances is not a whole multiple of C$100,000, then the Administrative Agent may allocate (on a basis considered by it to be equitable) the excess of such Bankers’ Acceptances over the next lowest whole multiple of C$100,000 to one Canadian Lender, which shall purchase a Bankers’ Acceptance with a face amount equal to the excess and having the same term as the corresponding Bankers’ Acceptances. In no event shall the portion of the outstanding Canadian Committed Borrowings by way of Bankers’ Acceptances of a Canadian Lender exceed such Canadian Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Canadian Committed Borrowings by way of Bankers’ Acceptances by more than C$100,000 as a result of such exercise of discretion by the Administrative Agent.

(B) If during the term of any Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by a Canadian Lender hereunder the Canadian Stamping Fee Rate changes as a result of a change in the Applicable Rate or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the fee paid to such Canadian Lender by the Canadian Borrower pursuant toSection 4.02(in this paragraph called the “Initial Fee”) with respect to such Bankers’ Acceptance shall be recalculated based upon such change in the Canadian Stamping Fee Rate or the existence of such Event of Default for the number of days during the term of such Bankers’ Acceptance that such change is applicable or such Event of Default exists. If such recalculated amount is in excess of the Initial Fee then the Canadian Borrower shall pay to such Canadian Lender the amount of such excess, and if such recalculated amount is less than the Initial Fee, then the amount of such reduction shall be credited to other amounts payable by the Canadian Borrower to such Canadian Lender.

(c)General Procedures for Bankers’ Acceptances.

(i) Notice. The Canadian Borrower may in a Canadian Committed Borrowing Notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. one Business Day prior to the date of the requested Canadian Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances) request a Canadian Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances. If the Canadian Borrower is responsible for marketing of such Bankers’ Acceptances underSection 3.08(b)(iv), the Canadian Borrower by subsequent notice to Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. on the day of the requested Canadian Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances shall provide Administrative Agent (which shall in turn promptly notify each Canadian Lender) with information as to the discount proceeds payable by the purchasers of the Bankers’ Acceptances and the party to whom delivery of the Bankers’ Acceptances by each Canadian Lender is to be made against delivery to each Canadian Lender of the applicable discount proceeds. Such discount proceeds less the fee calculated in accordance withSection 4.02(b)shall promptly be delivered to the Administrative Agent. Any telephone advice given under this Section shall be subject toSection 3.02and shall be confirmed by a written notice of the Canadian Borrower to Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. on the same day.

78

(ii) Rollover. In the case of a rollover of maturing Bankers’ Acceptances issued by a Canadian Lender, such Canadian Lender, in order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Canadian Borrower to the Canadian Lender for the face amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances issued by the Canadian Borrower, shall retain for its own account the Canadian Net Proceeds of each new Bankers’ Acceptance issued by it in connection with such rollover; and the Canadian Borrower shall, on the maturity date of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances issued by the Canadian Borrower, pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Canadian Lenders an amount equal to the difference between the face amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances and the aggregate Canadian Net Proceeds of the new Bankers’ Acceptances.

(iii)Conversion from Canadian Prime Rate Loans. In the case of a conversion from a Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loan into a Canadian Committed Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by a Canadian Lender pursuant toSections 3.08(a),(b) and(c), such Canadian Lender, in order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Canadian Borrower to it for the principal amount of the Canadian Prime Rate Loans owing by the Canadian Borrower being converted, shall retain for its own account the Canadian Discount Proceeds of each new Bankers’ Acceptance issued by it in connection with such conversion; and the Canadian Borrower shall, on the date of issuance of the Bankers’ Acceptances, pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Canadian Lenders an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate principal amount of the Canadian Prime Rate Loans owing by the Canadian Borrower being converted owing to the Canadian Lenders and the aggregate Canadian Discount Proceeds of such Bankers’ Acceptances.

(iv) Conversions to Canadian Prime Rate Loans. In the case of a conversion of a Canadian Committed Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances into Canadian Prime Rate Loan, each Canadian Lender, in order to satisfy the liability of the Canadian Borrower to it for the face amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances, shall record the obligation of the Canadian Borrower to it as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, unless the Canadian Borrower provides for payment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Canadian Lenders of the face amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptance in some other manner acceptable to Canadian Lenders, including conversion to another Type of Canadian Borrowing.

(v) Authorization. The Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes each Canadian Lender to complete, stamp, hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by it pursuant to this Section in accordance with the instructions provided by the Canadian Borrower pursuant toSections 3.01and3.02, as applicable.

(vi) Depository Notes. The parties agree that in the administering of Bankers’ Acceptances, each Canadian Lender may avail itself of the debt clearing services offered by a clearing house for depository notes pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada) and that the procedures set forth inSection 3.02be deemed amended to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of such debt clearing services.

(d) Execution of Bankers’ Acceptances. The signatures of any authorized signatory on Bankers’ Acceptances may, at the option of the Canadian Borrower, be reproduced in facsimile and such Bankers’ Acceptances bearing such facsimile signatures shall be binding on the Canadian Borrower as if they had been manually signed by such authorized signatory. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any Bankers’ Acceptance as a signatory may no longer be an authorized signatory of the Canadian Borrower at the date of issuance of a Bankers’ Acceptance, and notwithstanding that the signature affixed may be a reproduction only, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and as if such

79

signature had been manually applied, and any such Bankers’ Acceptance so signed shall be binding on the Canadian Borrower.

(e) Escrowed Funds. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and an acceleration of the Canadian Committed Loans underSection 10.02or upon a prepayment permitted underSection 3.06the Canadian Borrower shall forthwith pay to Administrative Agent for deposit into an escrow account maintained by and in the name of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Canadian Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares an amount equal to the Canadian Lenders’ maximum potential liability (as determined by Administrative Agent) under then outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances for the Canadian Borrower (the “Canadian Escrow Funds”). The Canadian Escrow Funds shall be held by Administrative Agent for set-off against future amounts owing by the Canadian Borrower in respect to such Bankers’ Acceptances and pending such application shall bear interest at the rate declared by Administrative Agent from time to time as that payable by it in respect of deposits for such amount and for such period relative to the maturity date of the Bankers’ Acceptances, as applicable. If such Event of Default is either waived or cured in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, then the Canadian Escrow Funds, together with any accrued interest to the date of release, shall be forthwith released to the Canadian Borrower.

(f) BA Equivalent Advances. Each Canadian Lender that is unable to accept BAs or does not customarily accept BAs may, in lieu of accepting a BA on the date of any Canadian Committed Borrowing, make a BA Equivalent Advance. The amount of each BA Equivalent Advance shall be equal to the Canadian Discount Proceeds (with reference to the applicable BA Discount Rate) which would be realized from a hypothetical sale of those BAs which, but for this subsection, would have been sold to such Canadian Lender. If such Canadian Lender does not otherwise have a BA Discount Rate applicable to it, the applicable BA Discount Rate will be calculated as though such Canadian Lender was listed onSchedule IIIof the Bank Act (Canada). Any BA Equivalent Advance shall be made on the relevant date of any Canadian Committed Borrowing, and shall remain outstanding for the term of the corresponding BA. On the maturity date of the corresponding BA, such BA Equivalent Advance shall be repaid in an amount equal to the face amount of a draft that would have been accepted by such Canadian Lender if such Canadian Lender had accepted and purchased a BA hereunder. Each BA Equivalent Advance made pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed to be a BA accepted and purchased by such Canadian Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, and except in this subsection, any reference to a BA shall include such BA Equivalent Advance.

3.09.Currency Fluctuations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time and from time to time to calculate the Total Canadian Outstandings at the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof in U.S. Dollars for any purposes including making a determination from time to time of the available undrawn portion of the Aggregate Canadian Commitments. If following such calculation, Administrative Agent determines that the Total Canadian Outstandings are greater than 105% of the Aggregate Canadian Commitments at such time, then Administrative Agent shall so advise the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Borrower shall following such advice repay, on the later of (a) five Business Days after such advice and (b) the earlier of (i) the next Interest Payment Date for Canadian Prime Rate Loans, (ii) the next Interest Payment Date for Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loans, and (iii) the next maturity date of any outstanding Bankers’ Acceptance, an amount equal to the amount by which the Total Canadian Outstandings exceeds the Aggregate Canadian Commitments, together with all accrued interest on the amount so paid.

80

3.10.Currency Conversion and Currency Indemnity.

(a)The Canadian Borrower shall make payment relative to any Canadian Borrowings (other than Canadian Base Rate Committed Loans or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans) or Canadian Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars in Canadian Dollars and shall make payment relative to Canadian U.S. Base Rate Committed Loans, Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans, and Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars, in U.S. Dollars. If any payment is received on account of any such Canadian Borrowings or Letter of Credit in any currency (the “Other Currency”) other than the Applicable Currency (whether voluntarily, pursuant to any conversion of a Canadian Borrowing or pursuant to an order or judgment or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of the Canadian Borrower or otherwise howsoever), such payment shall constitute a discharge of the liability of the Canadian Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect thereof only to the extent of the amount of the Applicable Currency which the Administrative Agent or relevant Canadian Lenders are able to purchase with the amount of the Other Currency received by it on the Business Day next following such receipt in accordance with its normal procedures and after deducting any premium and costs of exchange.

(b) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due in Canadian Dollars, then the conversion shall be made on the basis of the rate of exchange prevailing on the next Business Day following the date such judgment is given and in any event the Canadian Borrower shall be obligated to pay the Administrative Agent or Canadian Lenders any deficiency in accordance withSection 3.10(a). For the foregoing purposes “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Administrative Agent or relevant Canadian Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with their normal banking procedures are able on the relevant date to purchase Canadian Dollars with the Judgment Currency after deducting any premium and costs of exchange.

(c) If the Administrative Agent or any Canadian Lender receives any payment or payments on account of the liability of the Canadian Borrower hereunder pursuant to any judgment or order in any Other Currency, and the amount of Canadian Dollars which the Administrative Agent or relevant Canadian Lender is able to purchase on the Business Day next following such receipt with the proceeds of such payment or payments in accordance with its normal procedures and after deducting any premiums and costs of exchange is less than the amount of Canadian Dollars due in respect of such liabilities immediately prior to such judgment or order, then the Canadian Borrower shall, within five Business Days after demand, and the Canadian Borrower hereby agrees to, indemnify and save Administrative Agent or such Canadian Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense arising out of or in connection with such deficiency. The agreement of indemnity provided for in thisSection 3.10(c)shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from all other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them from time to time, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.

3.11.Funding Source. (a) Each Canadian Lender may, at its option, make any Canadian Loan available to the Canadian Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Canadian Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Canadian Borrower to repay such Canadian Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Unless anythe Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the time any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, thatsuchthe Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume thatsuchthe Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if anythe Borrower failed to make such payment, each applicable Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate (or in the case of the Canadian Loans or Canadian Letters of Credit, the Canadian Prime Rate) from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and

85

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to theapplicable Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate (or in the case of the Canadian Loans or Canadian Letters of Credit, the Canadian Prime Rate) from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan or Bid Loan, as the case may be, included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, andsuchthe Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent oranythe Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender oranythe Borrower with respect to any amount owing under thissubsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of thisArticle 4, and such funds are not made available to theapplicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth inArticle 6are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make U.S. Committed Loans and to fund participations inU.S. Letters of Credit and U.S. Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.08 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any U.S. Committed Loan, to fund any such participation and to make any payment under Section 11.08 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its U.S. Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.08.

(f) The obligations of the Canadian Lenders hereunder to make Canadian Committed Loans,to accept or purchase Bankers’ Acceptances, to fund participations in Canadian Letters of Credit and Canadian Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant toSection 11.08are several and not joint. The failure of any Canadian Lender to make any Canadian Committed Loan, to accept or purchase any Bankers’ Acceptance, or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Canadian Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Canadian Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Canadian Lender to so make its Canadian Committed Loan, purchase its participation or to make its payment underSection 11.08. [Reserved].

(g) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

4.06. Sharing of Payments.

(a) If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the U.S. Committed Loans made by it, or the participations inU.S. L/C Obligations or in U.S. Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in theU.S.Committed Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations inU.S. L/C Obligations or U.S. Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such U.S. Committed Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them;provided,however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the applicable purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 12.08 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The U.S. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 12.11) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of theU.S. Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this subsection and will in each case notify the applicable Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this subsection shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the U.S. Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of theU.S. Obligations purchased.

The Canadian Borrower agrees that any Canadian Lender so purchasing a participation

87

from another Canadian Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject toSection 12.11) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Canadian Lender were the direct creditor of the Canadian Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this subsection and will in each case notify the applicable Canadian Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Canadian Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this subsection shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Canadian Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Canadian Lender were the original owner of the Canadian Obligations purchased.

If so extended, the Maturity Date, as to the Consenting Lenders, shall be extended to the same date in the following year, effective as of the date of such extension by the Consenting Lenders (such effective date being the “Extension Effective Date”). The Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall promptly confirm to the Lenders such extension and the Extension Effective Date. As a condition precedent to such extension, the U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Extension Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying that such extension has been duly authorized by such Loan Party and (ii) in the case ofeachthe Borrower, certifying that, (A) before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties contained inArticle 7and the other Loan Documents made by it are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, (B) before and after giving effect to such extension no Default exists or will exist, and (C) no event has occurred since the date of the most recent audited financial statements of the U.S. Borrower delivered pursuant toSection 8.02(a)that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

91

and Swing Line Lenders, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or such Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by theU.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Sections 5.01(e)(ii)(A),5.01(e)(ii)(B)and5.01(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that athe Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of theU.S.Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest underSection 881(c)of the Code, (x)

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form ofExhibit H-2orExhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form ofExhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained inSection 1471(b)or1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed bySection 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of thisclause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to thisSection 5.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall

96

update such form or certification or promptly notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 5.01, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under thisSection 5.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

5.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any 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, maintain or fund U.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Loans, as applicable, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon theU.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate or the Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender toeach applicablethe Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender (a) to make or continueU.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans, or (b) to convert(i) U.S. Base Rate Committed Loans toU.S.Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or (ii) Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loans or Canadian Base Rate Committed Loans to Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Committed Loans or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and each applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice,each applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable,(a) convert allU.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans of such Lender toU.S. Base Rate Loans, or Canadian Base Rate Committed Loans, as the case may be, and (b) convert all Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Loans of such Lender to Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such U.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Loans, as the case may be, to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such U.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Loans, as the case may be. Upon any such prepayment or

97

conversion,each applicableBorrower 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.

5.03. Inability to Determine Rates; Market Disruption.

(a) If the U.S. Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining theU.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan, or that theU.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify theU.S. Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintainU.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of theU.S. Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, theU.S. Borrower may revoke any pending request for a U.S. Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation ofU.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a U.S. Committed Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

(b) If the Canadian Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonablemeans do not exist for determining the U.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate or the Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Canadian Committed Loan, or that the U.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate or the Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Canadian Committed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Canadian Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify each Canadian Borrower and each Canadian Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Canadian Lenders to make or maintain Canadian Dollar CDOR Rate Loans and/or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Canadian Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Canadian Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Canadian Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such Canadian Committed Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Canadian Committed Borrowing of Canadian Base Rate Committed Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loans in the amount specified therein.[Reserved].

(c) If for any reason in connection with any request for a U.S. Eurodollar Rate CommittedLoan or a Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan,Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error), or any of theBorrowers or U.S. Required Lenders or CanadianBorrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of theU.S. Required Lenders or Canadian Required Lenders, a copy to theapplicable Borrower) that theBorrowersBorrower orU.S.Required Lenders or Canadian Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the U.S. DollarEurodollar Rateascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan or a Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan, including, without limitation, because LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the administrator of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after

98

which LIBOR will no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that issatisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide LIBOR after such specificdate (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then(A) , reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable,at the request of the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent andBorrowersBorrower shall endeavor to amend this Agreementto replace LIBOR with ansolely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR in accordance with thisSection 5.03with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then-existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks(and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark givingdue consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollardenominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method forcalculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by theAdministrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodicallyupdated (the “Adjustment”; and any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”),together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and theBorrowersBorrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lendersdo not accept such amendment; and(A) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described inclause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with arate described in clause (y), object to such amendment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt,(i) in the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to anySOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment, and (ii) such LIBOR Successor Rate shallbe applied in a manner consistent with market practice;provided that to the extent such marketpractice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR SuccessorRate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the AdministrativeAgentinconsultationwiththeBorrower.

(B) ifIf no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances underclause (c)(i)above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), then the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the BorrowersBorrower and each Lender; and (C) thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans, as applicable, will be suspended (to the extent of the impacted U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans, Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the U.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate component will no longer be used to determine U.S. Base Rate and Canadian U.S. Dollar Base RateBase Rate. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoingclause (y)) in the amountspecifiedtherein.

For purposes hereof, “LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of U.S. Base Rate, Canadian U.S. Dollar Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and othertechnical, administrative or operational matters as may be appropriate, in the

99

discretion of Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption and implementation of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the BorrowersBorrower).

Upon receipt of any such notice underclause (c)(i)or(c)(ii)(B)above, the applicable Borrower (A) may revoke any pending request for a U.S. Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a U.S. Committed Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans (subject toclause (c)(ii)(C)(y)above) in the amount specified therein or (B) may revoke any pending request for a Canadian Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Canadian Committed Borrowing of Canadian Base Rate Committed Loans (subject toclause (c)(vi)(C)(y)above) in the amount specified therein, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate will provide that in no event may such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

In connection with the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right, subject to the consultation rights of the Borrower referenced above in the definitionof LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes, to make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changesfrom time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,any amendments implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement;providedthat, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such LIBOR Successor Conforming Changes to the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomeseffective.

(b) any failure by the applicable Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a U.S. Base Rate Loan, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan or a Canadian Base Rate Committed Loan, as the case may be, on the date or in the amount notified by theapplicable Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a U.S. Dollar Eurodollar Rate Loan, a Canadian Dollar CDOR RateLoan or a Canadian U.S. Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan, as the case may be, on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant toSection 12.17;

The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

5.08. Survival.All of the BorrowersBorrower’s obligations under thisArticle 5shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE 11.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.01. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America 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 L/C Issuers, and theBorrowersBorrower shall not have rights as third party beneficiaries of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

11.02. 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 deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with theBorrowersBorrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

11.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties

120

hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) 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 Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that 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, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) 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 theBorrowersBorrower or any oftheir respectiveits Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

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 Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided inSections 10.02 and12.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent byathe Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.

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 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 set forth inArticle 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

11.04. 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 website 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, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the

121

Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer 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 theBorrowersBorrower), 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.

11.05. 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. 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 exculpatory provisions of this Article 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 respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

11.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the BorrowersBorrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and appoint a successor, which at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default shall be selected by the U.S. Borrower in its reasonable discretion in consultation with the Required Lenders. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, 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 and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders

122

appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of 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 retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided inSection 5.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed 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 above in this Section). The fees payable by theBorrowersBorrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article andSection 11.08 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Upon request,each applicablethe Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance withsubsection (d) of this Section.

(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the (and such agency being solely for tax purposes)BorrowersBorrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).

For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity underSection 11.08without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso toSection 12.01 that affects such Participant.

To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits ofSection 12.11 as though it were a Lender;provided that such Participant agrees to be subject toSection 4.06 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of theBorrowersBorrower, maintain a register on which it enters 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, letters of credit 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, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form underSection 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.

At any time and from time to time after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, each Lender is hereby authorized to offset against the Obligations then due and payable to it (in either case without notice to the U.S. Borrower), any and all items hereinabove referred to. To the extent that the U.S. Borrower has accounts designated as royalty or joint interest owner accounts, the foregoing right of offset shall not extend to funds in such accounts which belong to, or otherwise arise from payments to theU.S. Borrower for the account of, third party royalty or joint interest owners. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify each applicablethe Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender;provided,however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

12.12. Interest Rate Limitation.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower.

For purposes of the Canadian Obligations, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term applicable to the Canadian Obligations on the basis of annual compounding of the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Administrative Agent shall be prima facie evidence, for the purposes of such determination.

12.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

12.14. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control;provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

12.15. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any U.S. Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or anyU.S. Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

139

12.16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b) No action or inaction of any Obligor or any other Person, and no change of law or circumstances, shall release or diminish Guarantor’s obligations, liabilities, agreements, or duties hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way, or afford Guarantor any recourse against Administrative Agent or any Canadian Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, the obligations, liabilities, agreements, and duties of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected by the occurrence of any or all of the following from time to time, even if occurring without notice to or without the consent of Guarantor:

(i) Any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all assets, marshalling of assets or liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, or composition of any Obligor or any other proceedings involving any Obligor or any of the assets of any Obligor under laws for the protection of debtors, or any discharge, impairment, modification, release, or limitation of the liability of, or stay of actions or lien enforcement proceedings against, any Obligor, any properties of any Obligor, or the estate in bankruptcy of any Obligor in the course of or resulting from any such proceedings.

(ii) The failure by Administrative Agent or any Canadian Lender to file or enforce a claim in any proceeding described in the immediately preceding subsection (i) or to take any other action in any proceeding to which any Obligor is a party.

(iii) The release by operation of law of any Obligor from any of the Obligations or any other obligations to Administrative Agent or any Canadian Lender.

(iv) The invalidity, deficiency, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or the Obligation Documents, in whole or in part, any bar by any statute of limitations or other law of recovery on any of the Obligations, or any defense or excuse for failure to perform on account

	Page 5
Exhibit G-1(U.S. Borrower) to Devon Credit Agreement

of force majeure, act of God, casualty, impossibility, impracticability, or other defense or excuse whatsoever.

(v) The failure of any Obligor or any other Person to sign any guaranty or other instrument or agreement within the contemplation of any Obligor, Administrative Agent or any Canadian Lender.

(vi) The fact that Guarantor may have incurred directly part of the Obligations or is otherwise primarily liable therefor.

(vii) Without limiting any of the foregoing, any fact or event (whether or not similar to any of the foregoing) which in the absence of this provision would or might constitute or afford a legal or equitable discharge or release of or defense to a guarantor or surety other than the actual payment and performance by Guarantor under this Guaranty.

(c) Administrative Agent and Canadian Lenders may invoke the benefits of this Guaranty before pursuing any remedies against any Obligor or any other Person and before proceeding against any security now or hereafter existing for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations. Administrative Agent and Canadian Lenders may maintain an action against Guarantor on this Guaranty without joining any other Obligor therein and without bringing a separate action against any Obligor.

(d) If any payment to Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Obligor is held to constitute a preference or a voidable transfer under applicable state, provincial or federal laws, or if for any other reason Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to refund such payment to the payor thereof or to pay the amount thereof to any other Person, such payment to Administrative Agent or such Canadian Lender shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and Guarantor agrees to pay such amount to Administrative Agent or such Canadian Lender on demand and agrees and acknowledges that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, to the extent of any such payment or payments. Any transfer by subrogation which is made as contemplated inSection 6prior to any such payment or payments shall (regardless of the terms of such transfer) be automatically voided upon the making of any such payment or payments, and all rights so transferred shall thereupon revert to and be vested in Administrative Agent and Canadian Lenders.

(e) This is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to and cover all Obligations and renewals and extensions thereof and substitutions therefor from time to time.

Section 4.Waiver. Guarantor hereby waives, with respect to the Obligations, this Guaranty, and the Obligation Documents:

(a) notice of the incurrence of any Obligation by Canadian Borrower, and notice of any kind concerning the assets, liabilities, financial condition, creditworthiness, businesses, prospects, or other affairs of Canadian Borrower (it being understood and agreed that: (i) Guarantor shall take full responsibility for informing itself of such matters, (ii) neither Administrative Agent nor any Canadian Lender shall have any responsibility of any kind to inform Guarantor of such matters, and (iii) Administrative Agent and Canadian Lenders are hereby authorized to assume that Guarantor, by virtue of its relationships with Canadian Borrower which are independent of this Guaranty, has full and complete knowledge of such matters whenever Canadian Lenders extend credit to Canadian Borrower or take any other action which may change or increase Guarantor’s liabilities or losses hereunder);

(b) notice that Administrative Agent, any Canadian Lender, any Obligor, or any other Person has taken or omitted to take any action under any Obligation Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or relating to any Obligation;

	Page 6
Exhibit G-1(U.S. Borrower) to Devon Credit Agreement

(c) demand, presentment for payment, and notice of demand, dishonor, nonpayment, or nonperformance; and

(d) notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, notice of protest, notice of any exercise of remedies (as described in the followingSection 5or otherwise), and all other notices of any kind whatsoever.

Section 5.Exercise of Remedies. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Canadian Lenders, shall have the right to enforce, from time to time, in any order and at Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, any rights, powers and remedies which Administrative Agent or theCanadianLenders may have under this Guaranty or the Obligation Documents or otherwise; and Guarantor shall be liable to Administrative Agent and eachCanadianLender hereunder for any deficiency resulting from the exercise by Administrative Agent, on behalf ofCanadianLenders, of any such right or remedy even though any rights which Guarantor may have against Canadian Borrower or others may be destroyed or diminished by exercise of any such right or remedy. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent, on behalf ofCanadian Lenders, to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under this Guaranty or any other Obligation Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Canadian Lenders, provided herein and in the Obligation Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights, powers or remedies provided by law or in equity. The rights of Administrative Agent, on behalf ofCanadian Lenders, hereunder are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Administrative Agent or anyCanadianLender to exercise any of its rights under this Guaranty or any Obligation Document against Guarantor, any Obligor or any other Person.

Section 6.Limited Subrogation. Until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full Guarantor shall have no right to exercise any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which it may now or hereafter have against or to any Obligor in connection with this Guaranty, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy in connection herewith which Guarantor may have against Canadian Borrower until such time. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of any such subrogation or other rights or any such other remedy is exercised in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from the other funds of Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent to be held by Administrative Agent, or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by Administrative Agent against, all or any portion of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Administrative Agent shall elect. If Guarantor shall make payment to Administrative Agent of all or any portion of the Obligations and if all of the Obligations shall be finally paid in full, Administrative Agent will, at Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to Guarantor (without recourse, representation or warranty) appropriate documents necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by Guarantor;provided that such transfer shall be subject toSection 3(d) above.

Section 7.Successors and Assigns. Guarantor’s rights or obligations hereunder may not be assigned or delegated(other thanexcept, for avoidance of doubt, pursuant to a transaction notin violation ofSection 9.03ofprohibited by the Credit Agreement), but this Guaranty and such obligations shall pass to and be fully binding upon the successors of Guarantor, as well as Guarantor. This Guaranty shall(a) bind Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns under the preceding sentence and (b) apply to and inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent andCanadianLenders and their successors or assigns. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Administrative Agent and eachCanadian Lender may (subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement) assign, grant a participation in, or otherwise transfer any Obligation held by it or any portion thereof, and Administrative Agent and each

	Page 7
Exhibit G-1(U.S. Borrower) to Devon Credit Agreement

CanadianLender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or any portion thereof under this Guaranty and any Obligation Document, to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to Administrative Agent or suchCanadianLender hereunder unless otherwise expressly provided by Administrative Agent or suchCanadianLender in connection with such assignment or transfer.

Section 8.Subordination and Offset. Guarantor herebysubordinates and makes inferior to the Obligations any and all indebtedness now or at any time hereafter owed by Canadian Borrower to Guarantor. Guarantor agrees that upon and during the occurrence of any Event of Default it will neither permit Canadian Borrower to repay such indebtedness or any part thereof nor accept payment from Canadian Borrower of such indebtedness or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and Lenders. If Guarantor receives any such payment without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and Lenders, such amounts shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent and applied in whole or in part by Administrative Agent against, all or any portions of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Administrative Agent shall elect. Guarantor hereby agrees that each Canadianagrees that each Lender shall have the right to offset (which shall be in addition to all other interests, liens, and rights of anyCanadianLender at common Law, under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) (a) any and all moneys, securities or other property (and the proceeds therefrom) of Guarantor now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to anyCanadianLender for the account of Guarantor, (b) any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of Guarantor with anyCanadianLender, (c) any other credits and balances of Guarantor at any time existing against anyCanadianLender, including claims under certificates of deposit, and (d) any indebtedness owed or payable by any Canadian Lender to Guarantor at any time against Canadian Obligations due to it that have not been paid when due. At any time and from time to time after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, eachCanadianLender is hereby authorized to offset against theCanadian Obligations then due and payable to it (in either case without notice to Guarantor), any and all items hereinabove referred to. To the extent that Guarantor has accounts designated as royalty or joint interest owner accounts, the foregoing right of offset shall not extend to funds in such accounts which belong to, or otherwise arise from payments to Guarantor for the account of, third party royalty or joint interest owners. Each Canadian Lender (by having the benefits of this Guaranty) agrees promptly to notifytheGuarantor and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Canadian Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 9.Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and eachCanadianLender as follows:

(a) The Recitals at the beginning of this Guaranty are true and correct in all respects.

(b) Each of the representations and warranties contained inArticle 7of the Credit Agreement is true, insofar as it refers to Guarantor, or to the assets, operations, conditions, agreements, business or actions of Guarantor, or to the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

(c) The direct or indirect value of the consideration received and to be received by Guarantor in connection herewith is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and the incurrence of such liability and obligations in return for such consideration may reasonably be expected to benefit Guarantor, directly or indirectly.

(d) The Guarantor is solvent (as such term is used in applicable Debtor Relief Laws).

Section 10.No Oral Change. No amendment of any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Guarantor and Administrative Agent on behalf of Canadian

AGREEMENTS

Section 1.Definitions. Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement for all purposes.

All terms used in this Guaranty which are defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings when used herein. All references herein to this Guaranty, any Obligation Document, Loan Document, or other document or instrument refer to the same as from time to time amended, supplemented or restated. As used herein the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Obligations” means collectively all of the indebtedness, obligations, and undertakings which are guaranteed by Guarantor and described insubsections (a) and(b) ofSection 2.

“Obligation Documents” means the U.S. Notes, the Canadian Notes, the Bankers’ Acceptances, the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other documents, instruments, agreements, certificates and other writings heretofore or hereafter delivered in connection herewith or therewith;provided that this Guaranty shall not be an “Obligation Document” for any purpose of this Guaranty.

“Obligors” means each Borrower, and any other endorsers, guarantors or obligors, primary or secondary (but in any case excluding Guarantor), of any or all of the Obligations.

Section 2.Guaranty.

(a) Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with any other guarantors from time to time and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety and as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, to Administrative Agent and each Lender the prompt, complete, and full payment when due, and no matter how the same shall become due, of:

(i) the U.S. Obligations, including all principal, all interest thereon and all other sums payable thereunder;

(ii) the Canadian Obligations, including all principal, all interest thereon and all other sums payable thereunder;

Page 2 Exhibit G to Devon Credit Agreement

(iii) the Bankers’ Acceptances issued by Canadian Borrower and accepted by Canadian Lenders; and

(iv) all other sums payable under the other Obligation Documents, whether for principal, interest, fees or otherwise.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall extend to and include all post-petition or post-bankruptcy interest, expenses, and other duties and liabilities of Borrowers described above in thissubsection (a), or below in the followingsubsection (b), which would be owed by Borrowers but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding involving any Borrower.

(b) If any Borrower shall for any reason fail to pay any Obligation, as and when such Obligation shall become due and payable, whether at its stated maturity, as a result of the exercise of any power to accelerate, or otherwise, Guarantor will, forthwith upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay such Obligation in full to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Administrative Agent or the Lender to whom such Obligation is owed.

(c) If any Borrower or Guarantor fails to pay any Obligation as described in the immediately precedingsubsections (a) or(b) Guarantor will incur the additional obligation to pay to Administrative Agent, and Guarantor will forthwith upon demand by Administrative Agent pay to Administrative Agent, the amount of any and all reasonable and documented expenses, including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s counsel and of any agents retained by Administrative Agent, which Administrative Agent may incur as a result of such failure.

(d) All payments by Guarantor hereunder shall be paid in full, without setoff or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever, including, without limitation, for any and all present and future Taxes. If Guarantor shall be required by any Laws to deduct Taxes from or in respect of any payment under this Guaranty, or any other Taxes are at any time imposed on any payments under or in respect of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall comply with the procedures of, and make the additional payments required by, Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 5.01(f) and Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement as to all Taxes imposed with respect to this Guaranty and paid by Guarantor hereunder as if all references therein to Borrower were deemed to be references to Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Guarantor shall not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of Taxes to any Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code who does not comply with the provisions applicable to Foreign Lenders set forth in Section 5.01(e) of the Credit Agreement.

(e) Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and, absent clearly demonstrable error, shall be binding upon Guarantor and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations.

Page 3 Exhibit G to Devon Credit Agreement

(f) The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount of liability that can be incurred without rendering this Guaranty, as it relates to Guarantor, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount.

Section 3. Unconditional Guaranty.

(a) No action which Administrative Agent or any Lender may take or omit to take in connection with any of the Obligation Documents, any of the Obligations (or any other indebtedness owing by any Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender), and no course of dealing of Administrative Agent or any Lender with any Obligor or any other Person except Guarantor, shall release or diminish Guarantor’s obligations, liabilities, agreements or duties hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way, or afford Guarantor any recourse against Administrative Agent or any Lender, regardless of whether any such action or inaction may increase any risks to or liabilities of Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Obligor. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that Administrative Agent and Lenders may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of Guarantor, do any or all of the following:

(i) Make an agreement with any Borrower to amend, change or modify, in whole or in part, any one or more of the Obligation Documents and give or refuse to give any waivers or other indulgences with respect thereto.

Page 4 Exhibit G to Devon Credit Agreement

(b) No action or inaction of any Obligor or any other Person, and no change of law or circumstances, shall release or diminish Guarantor’s obligations, liabilities, agreements, or duties hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way, or afford Guarantor any recourse against Administrative Agent or any Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, the obligations, liabilities, agreements, and duties of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected by the occurrence of any or all of the following from time to time, even if occurring without notice to or without the consent of Guarantor:

(i) Any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all assets, marshalling of assets or liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, or composition of any Obligor or any other proceedings involving any Obligor or any of the assets of any Obligor under laws for the protection of debtors, or any discharge, impairment, modification, release, or limitation of the liability of, or stay of actions or lien enforcement proceedings against, any Obligor, any properties of any Obligor, or the estate in bankruptcy of any Obligor in the course of or resulting from any such proceedings.

(vi) The fact that Guarantor may have incurred directly part of the Obligations or is otherwise primarily liable therefor.

Page 5 Exhibit G to Devon Credit Agreement

(c) Administrative Agent and Lenders may invoke the benefits of this Guaranty before pursuing any remedies against any Obligor or any other Person and before proceeding against any security now or hereafter existing for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations. Administrative Agent and Lenders may maintain an action against Guarantor on this Guaranty without joining any Obligor therein and without bringing a separate action against any Obligor.

(d) If any payment to Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Obligor is held to constitute a preference or a voidable transfer under applicable state, provincial or federal laws, or if for any other reason Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to refund such payment to the payor thereof or to pay the amount thereof to any other Person, such payment to Administrative Agent or such Lender shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and Guarantor agrees to pay such amount to Administrative Agent or such Lender on demand and agrees and acknowledges that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, to the extent of any such payment or payments. Any transfer by subrogation which is made as contemplated inSection 6prior to any such payment or payments shall (regardless of the terms of such transfer) be automatically voided upon the making of any such payment or payments, and all rights so transferred shall thereupon revert to and be vested in Administrative Agent and Lenders.

Section 4.Waiver. Guarantor hereby waives, with respect to the Obligations, this Guaranty, and the Obligation Documents:

(a) notice of the incurrence of any Obligation by any Borrower, and notice of any kind concerning the assets, liabilities, financial condition, creditworthiness, businesses, prospects, or other affairs of any Borrower (it being understood and agreed that: (i) Guarantor shall take full responsibility for informing itself of such matters, (ii) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility of any kind to inform Guarantor of such matters, and (iii) Administrative Agent and Lenders are hereby authorized to assume that Guarantor, by virtue of its relationships with Borrowers which are independent of this Guaranty, has full and complete knowledge of such matters whenever Lenders extend credit to any Borrower or take any other action which may change or increase Guarantor’s liabilities or losses hereunder);

(b) notice that Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Obligor, or any other Person has taken or omitted to take any action under any Obligation Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or relating to any Obligation;

(c) demand, presentment for payment, and notice of default, demand, dishonor, nonpayment, or nonperformance; and

(d) notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, notice of protest, notice of any exercise of remedies (as described in the followingSection 5or otherwise), and all other notices of any kind whatsoever.

Page 6 Exhibit G to Devon Credit Agreement

Section 5. Exercise of Remedies. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall have the right to enforce, from time to time, in any order and at Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, any rights, powers and remedies which Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under this Guaranty or the Obligation Documents or otherwise; and Guarantor shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Lender hereunder for any deficiency resulting from the exercise by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, of any such right or remedy even though any rights which Guarantor may have against any Borrower or others may be destroyed or diminished by exercise of any such right or remedy. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under this Guaranty or any other Obligation Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, provided herein and in the Obligation Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights, powers or remedies provided by law or in equity. The rights of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, hereunder are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any of its rights under this Guaranty or any Obligation Document against Guarantor, any Obligor or any other Person.

Section 6. Limited Subrogation. Until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full Guarantor shall have no right to exercise any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which it may now or hereafter have against or to any Obligor in connection with this Guaranty, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy in connection herewith, which Guarantor may have against Borrowers until such time. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of any such subrogation or other rights or any such other remedy is exercised in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from the other funds of Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent to be held by Administrative Agent, or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by Administrative Agent against, all or any portion of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Administrative Agent shall elect. If Guarantor shall make payment to Administrative Agent of all or any portion of the Obligations and if all of the Obligations shall be finally paid in full, Administrative Agent will, at Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to Guarantor (without recourse, representation or warranty) appropriate documents necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by Guarantor; provided that such transfer shall be subject to Section 3(d) above.

Section 7. Successors and Assigns. Guarantor’s rights or obligations hereunder may not be assigned or delegated except (a) as permitted by the Credit Agreement, and (b) in connection with (i) an assignment to (or consolidation or merger with) U.S. Borrower referenced inSection 13(in which case, subject to the terms ofSection 13, this Guaranty shall terminate automatically) or (ii) an assignment to a Subsidiary of U.S. Borrower of all (but not less than all) of Guarantor’s rights and obligations in, to and under the Indebtedness referred to in Section 9.01(k) of the Credit Agreement, the release of Guarantor from all obligations and liabilities with respect to such Indebtedness, and termination of any and all commitments pursuant to which such Indebtedness could thereafter be borrowed or reborrowed by Guarantor (it being understood and agreed that, in the case of this clause (ii), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive from such Subsidiary of U.S. Borrower a confirmation of its obligations under this Guaranty, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). This Guaranty shall (a) bind Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns under the preceding sentence, and (b) apply to and inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and their successors or assigns. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Administrative Agent and each Lender may (subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement) assign, grant a participation in, or otherwise transfer any Obligation held by it or any portion thereof, and Administrative Agent and each Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or any portion thereof under this Guaranty and any Obligation

Page 7 Exhibit G to Devon Credit Agreement

Document, to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder unless otherwise expressly provided by Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such assignment or transfer.

Section 8. Offset. Guarantor hereby agrees that each Lender shall have the right to offset (which shall be in addition to all other interests, liens, and rights of any Lender at common Law, under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) (a) any and all moneys, securities or other property (and the proceeds therefrom) of Guarantor now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to any Lender for the account of Guarantor, (b) any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of Guarantor with any Lender, (c) any other credits and balances of Guarantor at any time existing against any Lender, including claims under certificates of deposit, and (d) any indebtedness owed or payable by any Lender to Guarantor at any time against Obligations due to it that have not been paid when due. At any time and from time to time after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, each Lender is hereby authorized to offset against the Obligations then due and payable to it (in either case without notice to Guarantor), any and all items hereinabove referred to. To the extent that Guarantor has accounts designated as royalty or joint interest owner accounts, the foregoing right of offset shall not extend to funds in such accounts which belong to, or otherwise arise from payments to Guarantor for the account of, third party royalty or joint interest owners. Each Lender (by having the benefits of this Guaranty) agrees promptly to notify the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 9. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and each Lender as follows:
