WFT may, at any time on no less than 30 days’ prior written notice, require that the Agent reallocate, amongst the Canadian Lenders and the US Lenders, the Canadian Lender Revolver Commitments and the US Lender Revolver Commitments, provided that, as the case may be, any increase in a Canadian Lender Revolver Commitment for a Canadian Lender must have a corresponding decrease in the US Lender Revolver Commitment for the corresponding US Lender or any increase in a US Lender Revolver Commitment for a US Lender must have a corresponding decrease in the Canadian Lender Revolver Commitment for the corresponding Canadian Lender.

Application of any such reallocation request shall be subject to there being no outstanding Borrowings under the Revolver Facility that would result in the Borrowings exceeding the reallocated Commitments as at the effective date of such reallocation, provided that, on the request of the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may terminate any outstanding Term SOFR Advances or Bankers’ Acceptances as may be necessary to permit such a reallocation request in accordance with the foregoing. Each Borrower agrees that it shall be bound by the indemnification provisions of Section 2.21 with respect to all breakage costs incurred by an Agent or any Lender with respect to the termination of any existing Term SOFR Advances, and that Section 4.9 shall apply to the prepayment of any Bankers’ Acceptances, in each case for such purposes.

Each Lender shall furnish to the Agent a power of attorney in the form attached as Schedule 7, which may be presented as evidence of the Agent’s power to act but which shall not, as between the Lender and the Agent, vary the power of the Agent as established in this Agreement. In addition, promptly upon the request of the Agent, each Lender will furnish to the Agent such other evidence as any Beneficiary of any POA Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the Agent has the power to act as attorney-in- fact for such Lender to execute and deliver such POA Letter of Credit. WFT and the Lenders agree that each POA Letter of Credit shall provide that all documents presented thereunder shall be delivered to the Agent and that all payments thereunder shall be made by the Lenders obligated thereon through the Agent. Each Lender shall be severally liable under each POA Letter of Credit in proportion to its Proportionate Share on the date of issuance of such POA Letter of Credit and each POA Letter of Credit shall specify each Lender’s share of the amount payable thereunder.

Documents and Payment Demands. WFT and each Lender hereby authorize the Agent to review on behalf of each Lender each document presented under each POA Letter of Credit. The determination of the Agent as to the conformity of any documents presented under a POA Letter of Credit to the requirements of such POA Letter of Credit shall be conclusive and binding on WFT and each Lender, provided the Agent acts in accordance with the standards of reasonable care specified in the Uniform Customs. The Agent shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any POA Letter of Credit. The Agent shall promptly after such examination:

notify each of the Lenders obligated under such POA Letter of Credit and WFT by telephone (confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment and of each Lender’s share of such payment;

deliver to each Lender and WFT a copy of each document purporting to represent a demand for payment under such POA Letter of Credit; and

notify each Lender and WFT whether the demand for payment was properly made under such POA Letter of Credit.

Drawings. With respect to any drawing determined by the Agent to have been properly made under a POA Letter of Credit, each Lender will make a payment under the POA Letter of Credit in accordance with its liability under the POA Letter of Credit and this Agreement. The payment shall be made to the relevant Payment Account or such other account as the Agent designates by notice to the Lenders. The Agent will promptly make any such payment available to the Beneficiary of such POA Letter of Credit. Promptly following any payment by any Lender in respect of any POA Letter of Credit, the Agent will notify WFT of such payment, but any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve WFT of its obligation to reimburse the Lenders with respect to any such payment. The responsibility of the Agent and the Lenders in connection with any document presented for payment under any POA Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided in such POA Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such POA Letter of Credit. The Agent shall not be required to make any payment under a POA Letter of Credit in excess of the amount received by it from the Lenders for such payment.

Reimbursement by WFT. WFT shall pay to the Agent (for the account of the Lenders) the amount paid to a Beneficiary upon a drawing under a POA Letter of Credit (the “drawn amount”) on the date of such drawing. The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled to receive interest on the drawn amount at the rate applicable to Prime Rate Advances (if the drawn amount was in Canadian Dollars) or the rate applicable to US Base Rate Advances (if the drawn amount was in US Dollars) for the period from and including the date the drawn amount was paid to a Beneficiary pursuant to the drawing to but excluding the date on which such payment (including interest) is made to Agent.

Notice regarding Potential Automatic Renewal. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if a Default or an Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall notify the Lenders 30 days before any applicable deadline for notifying the Beneficiary of a POA Letter of Credit that it will not be renewed, in order to avoid automatic renewal in accordance with the terms of the POA Letter of Credit.

Fronted Letters of Credit.

Issuance on behalf of Lenders. Each Fronted Letter of Credit shall be issued by the Fronting Lender on behalf of all Lenders. The Principal Outstanding in respect of a Fronted Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the Lenders based on their respective Proportionate Share. Each Lender is liable to, and by entering into this Agreement agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless the Fronting Lender in relation to the Fronting Lender’s liability as issuer of a Fronted Letter of Credit to the extent of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of such liability. The Principal Outstanding under the Revolver Facility shall be adjusted in the circumstances and in the manner contemplated by Section 12.7 in order to reflect the issuance of Fronted Letters of Credit by the Fronting Lender on behalf of the Lenders.

Documents and Payment Demands. WFT and each Lender hereby authorize the Fronting Lender to review on behalf of each Lender each document presented under a Fronted Letter of Credit. The determination of the Fronting Lender as to the conformity of any document presented under a Fronted Letter of Credit to the requirements of such Fronted Letter of Credit shall be conclusive and binding on WFT and each Lender, provided the Fronting Lender acts in accordance with the standards of reasonable care specified in the Uniform Customs. The Fronting Lender shall, within a reasonable time after its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Fronted Letter of Credit.

Payment of Amounts Drawn under Fronted Letter of Credit. WFT shall reimburse the Fronting Lender on demand for any amount paid by the Fronting Lender upon a drawing under a Fronted Letter of Credit (the “drawn amount”). The amount so payable by WFT shall include interest on the drawn amount at the rate per annum applicable to Prime Rate Advances (if the drawn amount was in Canadian Dollars) or the rate per annum applicable to US Base Rate Advances (if the drawn amount was in US Dollars), for the period from and including the date the drawn amount was paid by the Fronting Lender to but excluding the date of reimbursement of the drawn amount (together with interest) by WFT. If WFT has failed to reimburse the Fronting Lender for a drawn amount (together with interest) by 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second Business Day following the date of demand by the Fronting Lender (the “demand date”), then:

WFT shall be deemed to have given a Borrowing Notice to the Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Prime Rate Advance (if the drawn amount was in Canadian Dollars) or a US Base Rate Advance (if the drawn amount was in US Dollars) on the fourth Business Day after the demand date in an amount equal to the drawn amount plus interest, calculated as herein provided for the period from and including the date the drawn amount was paid by the Fronting Lender to but excluding the date on which the Prime Rate Advance or the US Base Rate Advance (as the case may be) is made; and

the Lenders shall, on the fourth Business Day following the demand date, make such Advance in accordance with Article 3 and the Agent shall apply the proceeds thereof to the reimbursement of the Fronting Lender for the drawn amount together with interest.
