Asset Sale (i) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale (including, without limitation, an Involuntary Transfer), the Parent, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply such Net Proceeds:
(1) to repay Indebtedness of the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries, including Loans and permanent reductions of Obligations under any other Credit Facility (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto);
(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business of the Borrowers, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, such Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;
(3) to make a capital expenditure for the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; or
(4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in the Borrowers’ Permitted Business; provided that clauses (2) through (4) above shall be deemed to be satisfied if a bona fide binding contract committing to make the investment, acquisition or expenditure referred to herein is entered into by the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, with a Person within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied in accordance with such contract within one year and six months following the date of such Asset Sale. In the event any such contract is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, then such Net Proceeds must be applied as set forth herein and, if such termination or cancellation occurs later than the 360-day period, shall constitute Excess Proceeds as set forth below.
(ii) Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in clause (i) of this Section 2.06(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20,000,000, the Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days thereof, make an offer (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Lenders (and all holders of other Pari Passu Obligations containing provisions similar to this Section 2.06(b)) to repay the maximum principal amount of Loans (and such other Pari Passu Obligations) that may be repaid out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Obligations, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Obligations), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer.
(iii) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Loans (and such Pari Passu Obligations) accepted for repayment or tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Borrowers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by the Loan Documents; provided that pending any such application, the proceeds of the Asset Sale, whether assets, property or cash, are subject to a Lien under the Collateral Agreements. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans (and other Pari Passu Obligations) accepted for repayment or surrendered by holders thereof pursuant to such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Administrative Agent shall apply the Excess Proceeds ratably to the repayment of the Loans and any other tendered Pari Passu Obligations based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Loans or such Pari Passu Obligations accepted for repayment or tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
(iv) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds under clause (i) or (iii), the Company may temporarily reduce outstanding revolving credit Indebtedness of the Parent, the Borrowers, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Other Guarantor, or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in cash and Cash Equivalents.
(v) The Administrative Borrower shall deliver any Asset Sale Offer required under clause (ii) by written notice of such occurrence to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver notice to each Lender to the address of such Lender appearing in the Register or otherwise in accordance with Section 10.02 with the following information:
(1) that the Borrowers are making an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) and that all Loans and other applicable Pari Passu Obligations properly accepted for repayment or tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to such Asset Sale Offer will be repaid by the Borrowers;
(2) the repayment date, which will be no earlier than thirty days nor later than sixty days from the date on which such notice is delivered (the “Asset Sale Offer Payment Date”);
(3) that any Loan not properly accepted for repayment will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;
(4) that unless the Borrowers default in making the payment, all Loans accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date;
(5) that Lenders electing to have any Loans repaid pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer will be required to notify the Administrative Agent prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date;
(6) that Lenders will be entitled to withdraw their election to require the Borrowers to repay such Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the expiration date of the Asset Sale Offer, a facsimile transmission, electronic mail or letter setting forth the name of such Lender, the principal amount of Loans to be repaid, and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing its election to have such Loans repaid;
(7) that, to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Loans or the other Pari Passu Obligations accepted for repayment or surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Administrative Agent will apply the Excess Proceeds as set forth under the second-to-last sentence of Section 2.06(b)(iii); and
(8) the other instructions, as determined by the Administrative Borrower or as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, consistent with this Section 2.06(b), that a Lender must follow in order to have its Loans repaid. The notice, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Lender receives such notice. If (x) the notice is delivered in a manner herein provided and (y) any Lender fails to receive such notice or a Lender receives such notice but it is defective, such Lender’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the repayment of the Loans as to all other Lenders that properly received such notice without defect.

(b) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Class B Certificates shall be made at the date, time and location or locations specified in Schedule I hereto, or at such other date, time or location or locations as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriter, or as shall otherwise be provided in Section 7 hereof (such date being herein called the “Closing Date” and such time being herein called the “Closing Time”).

The certificates representing such Class B Certificates, which may be in temporary form, will be made available for examination and packaging by the Underwriter at the location or locations at which they are to be delivered at the Closing Time not later than 10:00 A.M. on the business day prior to the Closing Time.

Pre-Closing Reorganization Buyer agrees that any or all of the Sellers may, at any time before Closing, implement a reorganization (“Pre-Closing Reorganization”) in the manner described at SCHEDULE T, provided that any new shareholders arising as a result of such reorganization will be bound by the terms of this Agreement, deemed to be “Sellers” for the purpose of this Agreement, obliged to sell their shares in the Relevant Holdco to the Buyer on the terms and conditions contained herein, and required to provide all of the representations, warranties and covenants that are provided by the Sellers herein, shall assume all liabilities and duties of any shareholder or Seller for whom such shareholder is the successor in interest, and provided further that the Pre-Closing Reorganization: (a) will not have the effect of imposing any incremental obligations for Taxes for the Buyer, the Holdcos, the Corporation or the Subsidiaries; and (b) will not have an adverse effect on Holdcos, the Corporation or the Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or Assets or impose any cost, liability or expense on any of them that is not reimbursed by Sellers. No Pre-Closing Reorganization will be considered in determining whether a representation, warranty or covenant of the Sellers hereunder has been breached, other than pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.9 but excluding the consideration of the Competition Act Approval. The Sellers will provide written notice to the Buyer upon completion of any Pre-Closing Reorganization together with an updated SCHEDULE A reflecting any changes to Sellers, Shares and Purchase Price allocation resulting from the Pre-Closing Reorganization (which updated SCHEDULE A will be deemed to be incorporated into and form part of this Agreement), and access to all relevant documentation relating to such Pre-Closing Reorganization.
