1.3 The division of this Third Amending Agreement into Sections and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Third Amending Agreement. The terms “this Third Amending Agreement”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and similar expressions refer to this Third Amending Agreement and not to any particular Section or other portion hereof and include any agreements supplemental hereto.

1.4 This Third Amending Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

2. | Amendments and Supplements

2.1 Increase in Credit Facility. The existing definition of “Credit Facility” contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete “Cdn.$2,325,000,000” where it appears in the second line thereof and to substitute therefor the amount of “Cdn.$2,475,000,000”.

The parties hereto hereby confirm and agree that (a) the maximum principal amount of the Credit Facility is hereby increased to Cdn.$2,475,000,000 from Cdn.$2,325,000,000 and (b) the increase in the Credit Facility is effected pursuant to an increase in the Commitment of BNP Paribas (Canada) from Cdn.$125,000,000 to Cdn.$275,000,000 pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.24 of the Credit Agreement.

Each of the Short Notice Lenders hereby consents to the increase in the maximum principal amount of the Credit Facility and the increase in the Commitment of BNP Paribas (Canada) as provided for herein.

| (b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time, as the Outstanding Libor Loans and BAs mature and Rollovers and Conversions are made by the Borrower in respect thereof, each of the Lenders shall participate in the Loans effecting such Rollovers and Conversions to the full extent of its revised Commitment after giving effect to the provisions of this Agreement.
